following terms shall also apply to this Note:


 


ARTICLE
I. EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS AND PREPAYMENT


 


1.1.
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time prior to the full repayment of all amounts owed under this Note, (i) the Company effects
any consolidation, merger, or other business combination of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving
entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions, (iii) any tender offer
or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”) for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the
Company effects any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, or other similar event, as a result of which the Common Stock
is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination
of shares of Common Stock) (in each of the aforementioned cases in this Section 1.1(i) through (iv), a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then the Company shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such Fundamental Transaction an
amount equal to the Default Amount (defined in Section 3.20). The Borrower shall not effectuate any Fundamental Transaction unless (a)
it first gives, to the extent practicable, at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the record date of the special meeting
of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (b) the Company
fully complies with this Section 1.1.


 


1.2.
Prepayment. At any time prior to the date that an Event of Default occurs under this Note (the “Prepayment Period”),
the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on one (1) Trading Day prior written notice to the Holder of the Note, to prepay the outstanding
Principal Amount and interest then due under this Note in accordance with this Section 1.2. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional
Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower
is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be one (1) Trading Day from the date of the Optional
Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of
the amounts designated below to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower. If the Borrower
exercises its right to prepay the Note in accordance with this Section 1.2, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount
in cash equal to the sum of: (w) 100% multiplied by the Principal Amount then outstanding plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest
on the Principal Amount to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) $750.00 to reimburse Holder for administrative fees. If the Borrower
delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the applicable prepayment amount due to the Holder of the Note as provided in
this Section 1.2 on the respective Optional Prepayment Date (the aforementioned Optional Prepayment Date on which such payment failure
occurred shall be referred to as the “Prepayment Failure Date”), then the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay
any part of the Note pursuant to this Section 1.2 and the Holder shall no longer be required to cancel and extinguish the Second Warrant
under any circumstances.


 


1.3.
Repayment from Proceeds. If, at any time prior to the full repayment of all amounts owed under this Note, the Company receives
cash proceeds of more than $750,000.00 (the “Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate (for the avoidance of doubt, each time
that the Company receives cash proceeds on or after the Issue Date (except with respect to this Note), such amount shall be aggregated
together for purposes of calculating the Minimum Threshold) from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, including but
not limited to, the issuance of equity or debt, the conversion of outstanding warrants of the Borrower for cash, the issuance of securities
on or after the Issue Date pursuant to an equity line of credit of the Borrower, or the sale of assets outside the ordinary course of
business of the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within one (1) business day of Borrower’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder
of or publicly disclose such receipt, following which the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Borrower
to immediately apply up to 40% of such proceeds after the Minimum Threshold is reached to repay all or any portion of the outstanding
Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) then due under this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
1.3 shall not apply to payments to Borrower from customers of the Borrower in the ordinary course of business.

4.8
Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder,
by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in
equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach
of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.


 


4.9
Construction; Headings. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Holder and shall not be construed
against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect
the interpretation of, this Note.


 


4.10
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever
claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right
or remedy under this Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided
that the total liability of the Company under this Note for payments which under the applicable law are in the nature of interest shall
not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under the applicable
law in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if
the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by applicable law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any
official governmental action subsequent to the Issue Date, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum
Rate applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under
any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Holder with respect to indebtedness
evidenced by this the Note, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be
refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Holder’s election.


 


4.11
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of
law (including any judicial ruling), then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under
any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.


 


4.12
Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries
of any security, or amendment to a security that was originally issued before the Issue Date, with any term that the Holder reasonably
believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably
believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then (i) the Borrower shall notify the Holder of such additional or more
favorable term within one (1) business day of the issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such
term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder (regardless of whether the Borrower
complied with the notification provision of this Section 4.12).


 


4.13
Amortization Payments. The Borrower shall make the following amortization payments (each an “Amortization Payment”)
in cash to the Holder towards the repayment of this Note, as provided in the following table:


 


	Payment Date:	 	Payment Amount:	 
	2/25/2022	 	$	52,640.00	 
	3/25/2022	 	$	52,640.00	 
	4/27/2022	 	$	52,640.00	 
	5/27/2022	 	$	52,640.00	 
	6/27/2022	 	$	52,640.00	 
	7/27/2022	 	$	52,640.00	 












 


4.14
Right of First Refusal. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower has a bona fide offer of capital or financing
from any 3rd party (except with respect to the Borrower’s sale of its Common Stock pursuant to a registered offering by the Borrower
that is underwritten by Maxim Group, LLC, which may also include a common stock purchase
warrant component if part of a unit), that the Borrower intends to act upon, then the Borrower must first offer such opportunity to the
Holder to provide such capital or financing to the Borrower on the same terms as each respective 3rd party’s terms. Should the
Holder be unwilling or unable to provide such capital or financing to the Borrower within two (2) trading days from Holder’s receipt
of written notice of the offer (the “Offer Notice”) from the Borrower, then the Borrower may obtain such capital or financing
from that respective 3rd party upon the exact same terms and conditions offered by the Borrower to the Holder, which transaction must
be completed within 30 days after the date of the Offer Notice. If the Borrower does not receive the capital or financing from the respective
3rd party within 30 days after the date of the respective Offer Notice, then the Borrower must again offer the capital or financing opportunity
to the Holder as described above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated.

Jason
Remillard, being duly sworn, hereby deposes and says:


 


1.
I am the Chief Executive Officer of defendant DATA443 RISK MITIGATION, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”). As such,
I am fully familiar with all the facts and circumstances recited herein on personal knowledge. Borrower has its principal place of business
at 101 J Morris Commons Lane, Suite 105, Morrisville, NC 27560. On behalf of the Borrower, I hereby confess judgment in favor of Auctus
Fund, LLC (“Auctus Fund”), residing at 545 Boylston Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02116, in the amount of $282,000.00, less
any payments made on or after the date of this affidavit of confession of judgment, plus accrued interest and Default Interest (as defined
in the Note (as defined herein)) on said amount and all other applicable penalties under the Note. In no event shall interest payable
hereunder exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law.


 


2.
I hereby authorize the federal courts and/or state courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to enter judgment against Borrower
in the amount of in the amount of $282,000.00, less any payments made on or after the date of this affidavit of confession of judgment,
plus accrued interest and Default Interest on said amount and all other applicable penalties under the Note, plus the costs and attorneys’
fees that are set forth below, less any payments made on or after the date of this affidavit of confession of judgment, upon Borrower’s
failure for any reason to timely make any payment to Auctus Fund called for by the promissory note between of the parties, dated July
27, 2021 (the “Note”), due to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note.


 


3.
In order to secure these obligations, Borrower agreed to simultaneously deliver with the execution of the Note this Affidavit of Confession
of Judgment.











 


4.
The sums confessed pursuant to this affidavit of confession of judgment are justly due and owing to Auctus Fund under the following circumstances:
Borrower entered into the Note pursuant to which Borrower promised to pay to the order of Auctus Fund the principal sum of $282,000.00
plus interest as provided for therein. The amounts confessed by this affidavit represent a promissory note investment by Auctus Fund
in Borrower and arise out of Borrower’s breach of its obligations under the Note.


 


5.
Borrower agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by Auctus Fund in enforcing the terms of this affidavit of confession
of judgment, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses at the rate of $475.00 per hour that Auctus Fund incurs or is billed
for in connection with enforcing the terms of the affidavit of confession of judgment, entering any Judgment, collecting upon said Judgment,
and defending or prosecuting any appeals.
