FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, Royal Energy Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”) promises to pay to the order
of _________________________________________________________________ (together with any subsequent holder hereof, the “Holder”),
the principal sum of ________________________________________ Dollars and No Cents ($____________.00), plus simple interest at
the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Accrual of interest shall commence on the first business day to occur after the date
of initial issuance and continue until payment in full of the principal sum has been made or duly provided for. This Note is in
registered form and is part of a series of obligations issued in registered form. This Note is subject to the following additional
provisions.


 


1.
Maturity Date. This Note shall mature on November 1, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all principal
and accrued but unpaid interest due on this Note will be due and payable in full.


 


2.
Interest. All accrued interest will be due on the Maturity Date.


 


3.
Default Interest. In the event this Note is not paid in full on the Maturity Date, this Note shall bear interest at the
rate of 12% per annum until paid in full.


 


4.
Prepayment Right. Subject to the written approval by Holder, the Maker may prepay any amount due on this Note in part or
in whole without premium or penalty. Any prepayment shall be applied first to accrued interest and the balance to reduction of
the outstanding principal.


 


5.
Address for Payments. Principal and interest payments are payable at the address of the Holder as set forth below, or at
such other address that Holder may designate in writing to the Maker.


 


6.
Optional Conversion of Note. The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, to convert all or a part of the principal
amount of this Note, and all accrued interest on the principal amount converted, into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001
per share, of the Maker (“Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price for each Conversion Share equal to $5.50
per Conversion Share (“Conversion Price”) (an “Optional Conversion”).


 


7.
Mandatory Conversion of Note. The Maker of this Note is entitled, at its option, to convert all or a part of the principal
amount of this Note, and all accrued interest on the principal amount converted, into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

	 	a.	If
    the Maker shall at any time after the issue date of this Note subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise,
    or combine its outstanding Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock in payment of a stock dividend in
    respect of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision,
    forward stock split or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a reverse stock split or combination. 
	 	 	 
	 	b.	In
    case of any consolidation or merger of the Maker with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger
    in which the Maker is the surviving corporation), or in case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
    of the Maker, the Holder of this Note shall after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer have the right to convert this
    Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property which such Holder would have been entitled
    to receive upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
    of this Note immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.


 


9.
Mechanics of Optional Conversion. An Optional Conversion of this Note shall be effectuated by surrendering this Note to
the Maker (if such Conversion will convert all outstanding principal) together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Optional Conversion”) executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder’s
intention to convert this Note or a specified portion (as above provided) hereof, and accompanied, if required by the Maker, by
proper assignment hereof in blank. Interest accrued or accruing from the date of issuance to the date of conversion shall be paid
or converted into Common Stock as set forth above. No fraction of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be
issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which Notice
of Optional Conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder
delivers the Notice of Optional Conversion duly executed to the Maker. Certificates representing Conversion Shares will be delivered
to the Holder to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Optional Conversion.


 


10.
Mechanics of Mandatory Conversion. A Mandatory Conversion of this Note shall be effectuated by the Maker sending the Holder
a notice of conversion to the Holder (the “Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) at least ten days prior to the
Maturity Date. Interest accrued or accruing from the date of issuance to the date of conversion shall be paid or converted into
Common Stock as set forth above. No fraction of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be issued on conversion,
but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Any Mandatory Conversion of this Note shall occur
on the Maturity Date. The Holder authorizes email delivery of a Notice of Mandatory Conversion to the email address set forth
on the signature page hereto, if any. Certificates representing Conversion Shares will be delivered to the Holder to the address
specified by the Holder in the note register maintained by the Maker.


 


11.
No Rights Until Conversion. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to
vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any
rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

12.
Usury Savings Clause. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note at the time performance
of such provision shall be due shall involve transcending the limit prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable
law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced
to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Note or under any other instrument
evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation
shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity.


 


13.
No Waiver of Rights. Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, notice of dishonor and notice of nonpayment
and all other notices are hereby waived by Maker. No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder,
acceptance of a past due installment, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (1) as a novation of this Note
or as a restatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of the Holder
thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (2) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration
or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law; and Maker hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule
of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with
the foregoing. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with
any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect
the original liability of the Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless the Holder agrees otherwise in writing.
This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,
change, modification or discharge is sought.


 


14.
Securities Law Exemption; Transfers. This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser
hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. The Holder shall deliver written notice to the Maker of any proposed transfer
of this Note. This Note is transferable only upon due notice being given to the Maker and evidence of issuance and transfer is
reflected in the books and records of the Maker. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note, the Maker may require, prior
to issuance of a new Note in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal
opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Act or any applicable
state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Maker and any agent of the Maker shall
treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein
provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Maker nor any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary. Upon conversion of this Note into Conversion Shares, this Note shall be cancelled on the books and
records of the Maker and shall no longer be enforceable against the Maker.

    and (2) has no need for liquidity in the Note or the Conversion Shares.
