CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE


 


Dated:
February    , 2019


(“Issuance
Date”)


 


FOR
VALUE RECEIVED JERRICK MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC., a company organized under the laws of Nevada (the “Company”),
hereby promises to pay to______________________________________ (the “Payee”), or its registered assigns,
the principal amount of ___________________________ ($_____________.00 USD) together with interest thereon calculated from
the Issuance Date (“Interest Commencement Date”) in accordance with the provisions of this Convertible Promissory
Note (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, this “Note” and together with any other Notes
issued in the Note Issuance (as defined below) or upon transfer or exchange, the “Notes”). Capitalized terms
not defined in this Note shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof.


 


Certain
capitalized terms are defined in Section 8 hereof.


 


1.
Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest
Rate”) beginning on the Interest Commencement Date on the unpaid principal amount of this Note and shall be payable
in kind upon the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Interest Commencement Date; provided that the interest rate shall
increase five percent (5%) above the current Interest Rate (i) so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
or (ii) in the event that the Company does not consummate a listing onto a national securities exchange on the date that is nine
(9) months from the First Closing Date, and the Note is still outstanding. In no event shall any interest to be paid under the
Notes exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. In any such event, the Note shall automatically be deemed amended to permit interest
charges at an amount equal to, but not greater than, the maximum rate permitted by law. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.


 


2.
Maturity Date. The entire principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable in full in cash in immediately available
funds twelve (12) months from the date of issuance (such date, the “Maturity Date”) upon the tender of such
Note by Payee. The accrued, but unpaid interest on this Note shall be due and payable in the form of the Company’s Common
Stock upon the Maturity Date at the conversion price then in effect of this Note.


 


3.
Conversion.


 


(i) 


 


(a)
Optional Conversion. The Payee shall have the option to (i) convert this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest
into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time during the term of the Note or (ii) upon the Maturity Date, tender
this Note to the Company for immediate repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest in the Company’s Common Stock.
The number of shares that shall be issuable upon conversion of the Note shall equal the lesser of (i) the number derived by
dividing (x) the principal amount of the Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon by (y) US $0.25 (twenty five cents
US) or (ii) the price provided to investors in connection with the Qualified Offering.


 






     


     


    

 


(b)
Mandatory Conversion. In the event that the Payee does not choose to convert the Note into the Company’s Common Stock
on or prior to the Maturity Date, the principal and interest evidenced by the Note shall be mandatorily converted upon the earlier
of (i) the listing of the Company’s Common Stock onto a national securities exchange, or (ii) upon a Qualified Offering.
If the Qualified Offering provides the investors in the Qualified Offering with warrants or another type of equity incentive,
the Payee shall receive those warrants or equity incentives on a proportional basis to the amount the Payee converted into the
Qualified Offering. Upon the closing of the Qualified Offering, or on the day the Company begins trading on a national securities
exchange (whichever is to occur first), the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note
will automatically be converted into the Qualified Offering at a price equal to the price provided to investors in connection
with the Qualified Offering.


 


No
fractional shares shall be issued upon a conversion. In lieu of any fractional shares to which Payee would otherwise be entitled,
the Company shall round up to the nearest whole share. Should the Qualified Offering of such securities provide for the issuance
of warrants, the Holder hereof would also be entitled to such warrant, all on the same terms and conditions and in the same form
as provided in the offering documentation governing the Qualified Offering.


 


In
order to convert this Note in to Common Stock, the Holder must deliver a dated and signed notice of conversion (the “Notice
of Conversion”), a copy of which is attached to this Note as Exhibit A, stating its intention to convert the
full principal amount of this Note into Common Stock, Notices of Conversion shall be deemed delivered on the date sent, if personally
delivered, to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at the Company’s principal place of business, or when actually
received if sent by another method. The Notice of Conversion shall be accompanied by the original Note.


 


(ii)  As
soon as possible after the conversion has been effected (but in any event within two (2) Business Days), the Company or acquirer
shall deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock issuable by reason of such
conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified. In the event that
the Payee elects to tender this Note to the Company for immediate repayment, such payment shall be delivered to the Payee within
five (5) business days to the address provided by the Payee to the Company at the time of the surrender of this Note.


 


(iii)  The
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof in respect thereof or
other cost incurred by the Company or acquirer in connection with such conversion. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall
take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Note shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


 


(iv)  Neither
the Company nor acquirer shall close its books against the transfer of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely
conversion of this Note. The Company shall assist and cooperate with any holder of this Note required to make any governmental
filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with the conversion of this Note (including, without limitation,
making any filings required to be made by the Company).


 


(v)  The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issuance upon conversion hereunder, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. All shares of such
capital stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of capital
stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic
securities exchange upon which such shares of capital stock.


 


4.
Prepayment. The principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time from the date of issuance
at the option of the Company, together with Interest accrued to the date of prepayment. Any such prepayment shall be made pro
rata based on such Payee’s share of the aggregate principal amount then owed by the Company to all of the Payees under all
the Notes.

or Notes, as the case may be, as requested by the holder or transferee, which aggregate principal amount is equal the unpaid principal
amount of such Note, registered as such holder or transferee may request, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on the

affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The
issuance of new Notes shall be made without charge to the holder(s) of the surrendered Note for any issuance tax in respect thereof
or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, provided that each Noteholder shall pay any transfer taxes
associated therewith. The Company shall be entitled to regard the registered holder of this Note as the holder of the Note so
registered for all purposes until the Company or its agent, as applicable, is required to record a transfer of this Note on its
register.


 


(iii)  Replacement.
