(c)

number of shares of Common Stock of Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 100.0% of the principal on this Note being

For
purposes of this Note, “Conversion Price” means the consolidated closing bid price of Company’s Common Stock
as determined by applicable OTC rules (or exchange where the Common Stock of Company is then traded), as of the date Company receives
a Notice of Conversion from Holder.


 


Holder
shall effect conversions by delivering to Company a Notice of Conversion accompanied by this Note,
specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted. The date on which such conversion shall be effected (such
date, the “Conversion Date”) shall be the date of Company’s actual receipt of a Notice of Conversion, accompanied
by this Note unless Company and Holder agree in writing to another date. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable principal amount converted. If less than the entire principal
amount of this Note is converted, Company will promptly issue a new Note to Holder representing the balance of this Note. From and after
the Conversion Date, the portion of this Note converted shall represent and be enforceable only as to the right to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.


 


Promptly
after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, Company shall issue and deliver to Holder,
but only against delivery of and after receiving the original of this Note (or a lost note affidavit in the form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Company), one or more certificates representing such shares of Common Stock issued and registered as set forth
in the Notice of Conversion. Thereupon, Company shall have no further obligation with respect
to the principal amount of this Note converted. ln lieu of issuing a fraction of a share of Common Stock upon the conversion of this
Note, Company shall pay Holder for any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the conversion of this Note, cash
equal to the same fraction of the then current per share Conversion Price.
