and its authorized successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the
aggregate principal face amount of Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
(U.S. $275,000.00) on March 7, 2020 ("Maturity Date") and to pay interest
on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the rate of 12% per annum
commencing March 7, 2019 (“Issuance Date”). This Note shall contain a
$25,000 OID such that the purchase price shall be $250,000. The principal of,
this Note is payable ___________________________________________ , and if
changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing
by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest
payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the
Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to
the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at
the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such
check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal
hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this
Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer.
Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to
paragraph 4(b) herein. 

     This Note is subject to the following
additional provisions: 

     1. This Note is exchangeable for an
equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made
for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any
tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith. 

     2. The Company shall be entitled to
withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable
laws. 




     3. This Note may be transferred or
exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Act") and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a
non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due
presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company
may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's
records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound
by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the
right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the
requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this
Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note
is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such
Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.

     4. (a) Upon full cash payment for this
Note, the Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, to
convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then
outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common
Stock") at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common
Stock equal to 65% of the lowest trading price of the
Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC market exchange
which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common
Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the
twenty prior trading days including the day
upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer
agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other
electronic method of communication to the Company or its transfer agent after 4
P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include
the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3
business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall
be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the
Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of
Conversion. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on
conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest
whole share. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted
pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on
its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 55% instead of 65% while
that “Chill” is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect
a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company. All the terms set
forth herein, including but not limited to interest rate, prepayment terms,
conversion discount or lookback period will be adjusted downward (i.e. for the
benefit of the Holder) if the Company offers a more favorable conversion
discount (whether via interest, rate OID or otherwise) or lookback period to
another party or otherwise grants any more favorable terms to any third party
than those contained herein while this note is in effect. 

     (b) Interest on any unpaid principal
balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest shall
be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares"). Holder may, at any
time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on
the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into
Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on
the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

     (c) The Notes may be prepaid with the
following penalties:


	Time Period 	Payment Premium 
	<=60 days after note issuance 	125% of the sum of principal plus accrued
      interest 
	>60 days <= 90 days after note issuance 	135% of the sum of principal plus accrued
      interest 
	>+91 days <=180 days after note issuance 	145% of the sum of principal plus accrued
      interest 



This Note may not be prepaid after the 180th day.
Such redemption must be closed and funded within 3 days of giving notice of
redemption of the right to redeem shall be null and void. 

     (d) Upon (i) a transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common
Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii)
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity
in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is
effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and
results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of
Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and
(iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company
shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the
principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of
redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid
principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid
interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at
the Conversion Price. 

     (e) In case of any Sale Event (not to
include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in
connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall
cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have
the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note
into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property
(including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization
or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the
same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale
Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events.
If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash,
the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or
successor person or entity acting in good faith. 

     5. No provision of this Note shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time,
place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed. 

     6. The Company hereby expressly waives
demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to
collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable
for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

     7. The Company agrees to pay all costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note. 

     8. If one or more of the following
described "Events of Default" shall occur: 

     (a) The Company shall default in the
payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the
Holder by the Company; or 

     (b) Any of the representations or
warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or

misleading in any respect; or 

     (c) The Company shall fail to perform

or obligation of the Company under this Note or any other note issued to the
Holder; or

or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five
(5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or 

     (h) Defaulted on or breached any term
of any other note of similar debt instrument into which the Company has entered
and failed to cure such default within the appropriate grace period; or 

4 




     (i) The Company shall have its Common
Stock delisted from an exchange (excluding the OTCQX, OTC Markets, and OTC Pinks
as long as the Company continues to file reports under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the
Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days or ceases to
file its 1934 act reports with the SEC; 

     (j) If a majority of the members of
the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving

     (k) The Company shall not deliver to

legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion; or 

     (l) The Company shall not replenish

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within 5 days,
and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been
waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole
discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than
notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything
herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any
period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies
provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event
of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum
or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the
highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section
8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on
the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company.
This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th
day. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the
outstanding principal amounts by 20%. In case of a breach of Section 8(i), the
outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 50%. If this Note is
not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall
increase by 10%. Further, if a breach of Section 8(m) occurs or is continuing
after the 6 month anniversary of the Note, then the Holder shall be entitled to
use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price
for the conversion. For example, if the lowest closing bid price during the
delinquency period is $0.01 per share and the conversion discount is 50% the
Holder may elect to convert future conversions at $0.005 per share.

5 




If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce
any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an
attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be
reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses
incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.

     Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver
Loss. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver
to the Holder the conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the
delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a
Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:
Failure to Deliver Loss = [(Highest VWAP for the 30 days on or after the day of
exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)] The Company must pay the Failure to
Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the
third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.


     9. In case any provision of this Note
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or
otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than
voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible,
and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note
will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

     10. Neither this Note nor any term
hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written
instrument signed by the Company and the Holder. 

     11. The Company represents that it is
not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it
previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since
the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a
“shell issuer. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a Rule
144 or similar opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii)
accept such opinion from Holder’s counsel, provided such legal opinion is, in
the reasonable determination of Company counsel, factually and legally correct.


     12. The Company shall issue
irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 2,820,000 shares of its Common
Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). Upon full
conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be
cancelled. The Company shall pay all costs associated with issuing and
delivering the shares. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may
deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price. Conversion Notices may be sent to
the Company or its transfer agent via electric mail. The company should at all
times reserve a minimum of eight times the amount of shares required if the note
would be fully converted. The Holder may reasonably request increases from time
to time to reserve such amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to
provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its
conversions. 

6 




     13. The Company will give the Holder
direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name
changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the
Holder as soon as possible under law.

     14. If it shall be found that any
interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable
law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to
equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest permitted
under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal or
interest on this Note. 

     15. This Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made
and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company
hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and
venue in the courts of the State of New York or in the Federal courts sitting in
the county or city of New York. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement
shall be effective as an original. 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company
has caused this Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly
authorized.
