CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


 


FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, VERUS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby
promises to pay to the order of [___], or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $153,000.00 together with any
interest as set forth herein, on May 12, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance
hereof at the rate of nine percent (9%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”)
until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not
be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note
which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until
the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number
of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable (whether
at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock,
$0.000001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money
of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower
by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined,
shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which
this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).


 


This Note
is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive
rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.


 




    	 	 	 



    	 



    

 


The following terms shall apply to this Note:


 


ARTICLE I. CONVERSION
RIGHTS


 


1.1
Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning
on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity
Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding
amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable
shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the
Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion
Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall
the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the
sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common
Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations
contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect
to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The
beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares
of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined
below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section
1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably
expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion
Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the
next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1)
the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus
(3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1)
and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.


 


1.2
Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the greater of: (i) the Fixed
Conversion Price (as defined herein); and (ii) the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (each subject to equitable adjustments
by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations,
recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events as set forth in Section 1.6 hereof). The “Variable
Conversion Price” shall mean 1.0 minus the Applicable Percentage (as defined herein) multiplied by the Market Price (as defined
herein). “Market Price” shall equal the lowest daily VWAP over the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately
preceding the date on which the Market Price is being determined. “VWAP” shall mean the daily dollar volume-weighted
average sale price for the Common Stock on the Principal Market on any particular Trading Day during the period beginning at 9:30
a.m., New York City Time (or such other time as the Principal Market publicly announces is the official open of trading), and ending
at 4:00 p.m., New York City Time (or such other time as the Principal Market publicly announces is the official close of trading),
as reported by Bloomberg through its “Volume at Price” functions or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted
average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period
beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York City Time (or such other time as the Principal Market publicly announces is the official open
of trading), and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City Time (or such other time as the Principal Market publicly announces is the
official close of trading), as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security
by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market
makers for such security as reported in the OTCBB or the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the
VWAP cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such security on such date
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holder of the Note. All such determinations of VWAP
shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted in accordance with the provisions set forth herein for any stock dividend, stock
split, stock combination or other similar transaction occurring during any period used to determine the Market Price (or other
period utilizing VWAPs). “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which there is trading on the Principal Market. “Principal
Market” shall mean the OTCBB or such other principal market, exchange or electronic quotation system on which the Common
Stock is then listed for trading. “Applicable Percentage” shall mean 37%. The “Fixed Conversion Price”
shall mean $0.0001.


 




    	 	2	 



    	 



    

 


1.3
Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve
from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance
of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all
times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming
that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined
in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 182,142,857 shares)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount
shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would
change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the
Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges
that it has irrevocably issues to Holder a fully executed irrevocable issuance resolution (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Resolution”) to be completed by the Holder and delivered to the Borrower’s transfer agent, by the Holder together with
a conversion notice and appropriate opinion of counsel in connection with each conversion of this Note; and the Borrower hereby
gives Buyer the authority to complete and deliver the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Resolution to the Borrower’s transfer agent
in connection with each conversion of the Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority
to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates
for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.


 


If, at any
time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount (or does not have sufficient shares in its treasury stock to issue shares
in connection with any Conversion Notice) it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.


 


1.4
Method of Conversion.


 


(a) Mechanics
of Conversion. As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date
which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii)
the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to
time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means
of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b),
surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).


 




    	 	3	 



    	 



    

 


(b) Surrender
of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount
so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower,
so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.


 


(c) Delivery
of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other
reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section
1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for
the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and,
solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms
hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the
holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued
and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations
hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to
receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall
have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for
Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same,
any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce
the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower,
and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection
with such conversion.


 


(d) Delivery
of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the
Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian
(“DWAC”) system.


 




    	 	4	 



    	 



    

 


(e) Failure
to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including
actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000
per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver
Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e.,
transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect
delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which
it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month
in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in
accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance
with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting
from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly,
the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.


 


1.5
Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred
unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer
agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant
to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are
transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the
shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).


 


Any restrictive legend on certificates
representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the
Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion
of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions,
to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion
shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under
the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably
accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration
(such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.


 


1.6
Effect of Certain Events.


 


(a) Effect
of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more
than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the
Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be
an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the
consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person”
shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.


 




    	 	5	 



    	 



    

 


(b) Adjustment
Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all
of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event,
as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another
class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder
of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities
or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately
prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion
of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter
deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a)
it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) 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 merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during
which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower)
assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.


 


(c) Adjustment
Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or
distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary
(i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this
Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets
which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder
been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.


 


1.7
Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth
on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable
on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal
and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. 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 not more than three (3) Trading Days
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 Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder
as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which direction shall to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one
(1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall
make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the
table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional
Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any
amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). If the Borrower delivers
an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business
days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section
1.7.

2.1 Sale of
Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s
written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business
which would render the Borrower a “shell company” as such term is defined in Rule 144.

of Default”) shall occur:

certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to

any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not
be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation
of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a
conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the
option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such
advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result

fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed irrevocable transfer agent letter in a form

interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to
the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined herein). UPON

DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO:
(Y) THE DEFAULT AMOUNT (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event
of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on
this Note upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and/or 3.14 exercisable through the delivery of written
notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified
the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date
specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in
full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date
of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in
clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively
be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable,
all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without
limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity.

If the Borrower fails to pay the
Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have
the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized
shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares
of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.


 


ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS


 


4.1
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing
hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.


 


4.2
Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered
or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid,
or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party
shall have specified most recently by written notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery or delivery by facsimile, with accurate confirmation generated by the transmitting
facsimile machine, at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where
such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during

4.3
Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower
and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument
(and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then
as so amended or supplemented.


 


4.4
Most Favored Nation. During the period where any monies are owed to the Holder pursuant to this Note, if the Borrower
engages in any future financing transactions with a third party investor, the Borrower will provide the Holder with written notice
(the “MFN Notice”) thereof promptly but in no event less than 10 days prior to closing any financing transactions.
Included with the MFN Notice shall be a copy of all documentation relating to such financing transaction and shall include, upon
written request of the Holder, any additional information related to such subsequent investment as may be reasonably requested
by the Holder. In the event the Holder determines that the terms of the subsequent investment are preferable to the terms of the
securities of the Borrower issued to the Holder pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Holder will notify the Borrower
in writing. Promptly after receipt of such written notice from the Holder, the Borrower agrees to amend and restate the Securities
(which may include the conversion terms of this Note), to be identical to the instruments evidencing the subsequent investment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.4 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance, or (ii) an underwritten public
offering of Common Stock. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of: (a) shares of Common Stock or options to
employees, officers, consultants, advisors or directors of the Borrower pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such
purpose by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of directors established
for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of this Note and/or other securities exercisable
or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof, and (c) securities issued
pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Borrower, provided
that any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business
synergistic with the business of the Borrower and in which the Borrower receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds,
but shall not include a transaction in which the Borrower is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or
to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.


 


4.5
Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be
the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor”
(as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this
Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement; and may be
assigned by the Holder without the consent of the Borrower.


 




    	 	11	 



    	 



    

 


4.6
Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs
of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


4.7
Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions
contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the Eastern
District of New York. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted
hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The
Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith
is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, 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
any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit,
action or proceeding in connection with this Note, any agreement or any other document delivered in connection with this Note by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.


 


4.8
Purchase Agreement. By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the
Purchase Agreement.


 


4.9
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.
