SECURED
CONVERTIBLE CREDIT LINE PROMISSORY NOTE


  


	US
    $XXX,XXX.XX	_____________
	 	Dania
    Beach, Florida


 


FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, Veritas Farms, Inc. with a current principal office address of 1815 Griffin Road, Suite 401, Dania Beach, Florida 33004
(the “Maker”), agrees and promises to pay to the order of the ________________, its successors and/or assigns (the “Holder”)
at the Holder’s address, or such other place as designated in writing by the Holder of this Secured Convertible Credit Line Promissory
Note (“Promissory Note”), the principal sum of XXX Dollars (US $XXX,XXX.XX) (“Maximum Principal Amount Committed”)
or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all funds loaned by the Holder to the Maker in accordance
with the terms of this Promissory Note, with interest (“Interest”) on the aggregate amount loaned at a rate of 10% per annum.
The Maker may, from time to time, borrow under the terms of this Promissory Note up to but not exceeding the Maximum Principal Amount
Committed of this Promissory Note in increments of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) at any time prior to the Maturity
Date (as defined herein), upon delivery to Holder of a Draw Notice (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) for such amount.


 


All
unpaid principal (“Principal”), together with any then unpaid and accrued Interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall
be due and payable by Maker to Holder, if not converted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Promissory Note, on the earlier
of (i) _________, or (ii) following an Event of Default (as defined below) (such date, the “Maturity Date”). All payments
due hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, in immediately
available funds, without offset, deduction or recoupment. Any payment by check or draft shall be subject to the condition that any receipt
issued therefore shall be ineffective unless the amount due is actually received by the Holder. Each payment shall be applied first to
the payment of all costs, fees and expenses incurred by or payable to the Holder in connection with the collection or enforcement of
this Promissory Note; second, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest hereunder; and third, to the payment of the unpaid Principal
amount.


 


The
proceeds of this Promissory Note shall be used by the Maker for working capital.


 


As
collateral security for payment of the obligations under this Promissory Note, the Maker and the Holder have agreed that all obligations
hereunder will be secured by all the assets of the Maker, and Maker hereby grants to Holder a security interest and lien in all of Maker's
assets, wherever located, whether tangible or intangible, now existing, or hereafter acquired.


 


Optional
Conversion. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, a portion or all of the outstanding Principal amount of this Promissory Note, together
with a portion or all accrued but unpaid Interest hereunder (the “Outstanding Balance”), is convertible into shares of common
stock of the Maker (“Common Stock”), at the option of the Holder at a conversion price (“Conversion Price”) of
five cents ($0.05) per share of Common Stock.


 


Mechanics
of Conversion. In order to convert the Outstanding Balance, Holder shall deliver to the Maker a written Election to Convert (the form
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B). Upon receipt of the written Election to Convert, the Maker shall issue and cause to be delivered
with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder, and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, certificate(s)
evidencing the full number of Common Stock so purchased upon conversion of the Promissory Note. Such Common Stock shall be deemed to
have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such securities
as of the date of delivery of the Election to Convert, notwithstanding that the certificate(s) representing such securities shall not
actually have been delivered or that the securities transfer books of the Maker shall then be closed.


 






     


     

    

 


In
the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker hereafter is restructured or revised by recapitalization, reclassification,
combination, split or split-up or dividend, the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to conversion under this
Promissory Note shall be adjusted appropriately, both as to the number of shares of Common Stock and the Conversion Price. No fractional
share of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion, but any fractional share of Common Stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole
share of Common Stock.


 


In
case of any sale exchange, tender offer, redemption or buyout of the Maker’s Common Stock, or any consolidation of the Maker with
or merger of the Maker into another corporation, or in case of any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially
all other property of the Maker, the Maker or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder
an agreement that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, upon payment of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
action, to convert this Promissory Note, on the same basis which it would have or have been entitled to receive after the happening of
such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease had such conversion been accomplished immediately prior to such action. Such agreement
shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided herein. These provisions
shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases.


 


This
Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date after providing the Holder with five (5) days notice of the Maker’s
intent to process the prepayment.


 


The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Promissory Note (each, an “Event
of Default”): (a) Maker shall fail to pay any Principal or Interest when due and payable hereunder; or (b) Maker shall fail to
deliver the Common Stock or recognize the Holder as a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of delivery of the
Election to Convert in accordance with the terms hereof; or (c) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over
Maker; or (d) Maker shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (e) Maker shall file a petition for relief under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or (f) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against Maker; or (g) Maker shall
default or otherwise fail to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Maker contained herein; or (h) any
representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Maker to Holder herein shall be false, incorrect, incomplete
or misleading; or (i) any lawsuit, money judgment, writ or similar process shall be entered or filed against Maker or any subsidiary
of Maker or any of its property or other assets for more than $100,000.00, unless otherwise consented to by Holder.


 


While
an Event of Default exists, the Maker hereby promises to pay Interest on the unpaid balance of this Promissory Note then outstanding
at the rate representing eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, from the date of the
Event of Default to until and including the date actually paid. It is the intent of parties hereto that in no event shall the amount
of Interest due or payment in the nature of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law,
as amended from time to time, and in the event any such payment is paid by the Maker or received by Holder, then such excess sum shall
be credited as a prepayment of Principal, unless the Maker shall notify the Holder, in writing, that the Maker elects to have such excess
sum returned forthwith.


 


This
Promissory Note shall not be modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcements of such modification
is sought. This Promissory Note shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to
conflict of laws or principles thereof. Any suit or proceeding relating to this Promissory Note shall be brought or instituted only in
a court of competent jurisdiction in Broward County, Florida. No waiver by the Holder of any default hereunder shall be deemed to constitute
a waiver of any subsequent default. No exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.
The Maker agrees to pay or reimburse the Holder for all costs and expenses of enforcing and preserving its rights under this Promissory
Note or any document or instrument executed in connection herewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, whether in
or out of court, in original or appellate proceedings or in bankruptcy).

The
Maker and all others who may become liable for the payment hereof jointly and severally: (a) waive presentment for payment, demand, notice
of demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Promissory Note, and all other notices in connection
with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Promissory Note, (b) consent to all extensions
of time, renewals, postponements of time of payment of this Promissory Note, waivers or other modifications hereof from time to time
prior to or after the Maturity Date hereof, whether by acceleration or in due course, without notice, consent or consideration to any
of the foregoing, (c) agree to any substitution, exchange, addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable
hereon, and (d) agree that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing (except by the express written release by Holder),
the Maker shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due under this Promissory Note.


 


All
issue taxes, documentary stamp taxes, or other taxes (if any) required by law at any time to be affixed to this Promissory Note shall
be paid by the Maker. The Maker agrees to indemnify and hold the Holder, its affiliates, successors and assigns harmless from and against
the aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities, penalties, fines, fees and damages (including related reasonable
counsel and paralegal fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by the Holder arising out of or resulting from the Maker’s failure
to pay such documentary stamp or other tax.


 


IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Maker has duly executed this Promissory
Note as of the day and year first above written.
