4. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one

or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of
its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock,
(iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization

referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company

Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein.


 


Section
5. Conversion.


 


a)
Conversion of Outstanding Balance. Beginning on the Original Issue Date and until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note
shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”)
at the option of the Holder, upon delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company, at the Conversion Price. The number of Conversion
Shares into which the Note may be converted shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount together with all accrued
interest to the date of conversion by the Conversion Price.


 


b)
Conversions. The Holder shall effect any conversions under this section by delivering to the Company a fully completed Notice
of Conversion. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless
the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and
the Company shall maintain records showing the amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Holder, and any assignee by
acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion
of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

c)
Mechanics of Conversion.


 


i.
Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Certificates for the Conversion Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder and registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for
the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the address specified by the Holder in
the Notice of Conversion. Upon delivery of the Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become
the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which this Note has been converted, irrespective of the date of delivery
of the Conversion Shares.


 


ii.
Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert
any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, such other Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder, its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5(c)(ii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the
Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination as
to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5(c)(ii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic
or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally or in writing to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section 5(c)(ii) and the provisions of this Section 5(c)(ii) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions
of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5(c)(ii)
to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.


 




    	 	7	 



     


    

 


iii.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion
of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.


 


Section
6. Certain Adjustments.


 


a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares
of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of
this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Floor and the Cap shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.


 




    	 	8	 



     


    

 


b)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, then, upon any subsequent
conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such
conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall
cause any Successor Entity to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement, and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(b) pursuant to written agreements prior to
such Fundamental Transaction and shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by
a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares
of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon
conversion of this Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder
to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for
the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after
the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note and the other Loan Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company
herein.


 


Section
7. Events of Default.


 


a)
“Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and
whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of
any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):


 




    	 	9

ii.
the Company, Pie Squared or Holdings shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement,
the Escrow Agreement, the Note or in any Loan Document, which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within the earlier to occur

iv.

Notwithstanding
anything set forth herein to the contrary, an Event of Default is neither triggered nor accrues unless and until the Company receives
notice from the Holder declaring an Event of Default.


 


b)
Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but
unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the
Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need
not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately
and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available
to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the
Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section
7(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
