(a)
Declare the full principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, at the Payee's election, to be immediately
due and payable in cash. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the acceleration of this Note,
the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at the rate of 18% per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged
under applicable law. The Payee need not provide and Maker hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
and the Payee may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and
all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Payee at any time prior to
payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon;
or


 


(b)
Proceed to enforce such other and additional rights and remedies the Payee may have hereunder or as may be provided by applicable law.


 


5.
       No Waiver of Payee's Rights. All payments of principal and interest shall be made without
setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No delay or failure on the part of the Payee in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, nor
any partial or single exercise of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver thereof or of any other option, power or right,
and no waiver on the part of the Payee of any of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver of any other option, power or
right. Maker hereby waives presentment of payment, protest, and all notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or endorsement of this Note. Acceptance by the Payee of less than the full amount due and payable hereunder shall in no way limit

6.
       Modifications. No term or provision contained herein may be modified, amended or waived
except by written agreement or consent signed by the party to be bound thereby.


 


7.
       Cumulative Rights and Remedies; Usury. The rights and remedies of Payee expressed herein
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies otherwise available under this Note or applicable law (including at equity).
The election of Payee to avail itself of any one or more remedies shall not be a bar to any other available remedies, which Maker agrees
Payee may take from time to time. If it shall be found that any interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum permitted rate of interest under such law. To the extent
that the Payee receives any payment on of any amounts owing under this Note, and any such payment(s) or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinate and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other person or entity under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
payment(s) received, the Maker’s obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force
and effect, as if such payment(s) had not been received by the Payee and applied on account of the Maker’s obligations under this
Note.


 


 


8.
       Use of Proceeds. Maker shall use the proceeds from this Note hereunder for working capital
purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of Maker's or Subsidiary's debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary
course of Maker's business and prior practices), to redeem any of Maker's equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding
litigation.


 


9.
       Collection Expenses. Maker shall reimburse Payee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Payee in the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note, in enforcing any of the rights, powers, remedies and privileges of the Payee hereunder, or in connection with any further negotiations,
modifications, releases, or otherwise incurred by the Payee in connection with this Note.  As used in this Note, the term “attorneys’
fees” shall mean reasonable charges and expenses for legal services rendered to or on behalf of the Payee in connection with the
collection of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note at any time whether prior to the commencement of judicial proceedings and/or thereafter.


 


10.
       Severability. If any provision of this Note is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be in any way invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable
to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that
any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest
due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest.


 


11.
       Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon Maker and its successors and
shall inure to the benefit of the Payee and its successors and assigns, provided, however, that the Maker shall not
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Payee. Assignment of all or any portion of
this Note in violation of this Section 11 shall be null and void.. The term "Payee" as used herein, shall also include any
endorsee, assignee or other holder of this Note.


 


12.
       Lost or Stolen Promissory Note. If this Note is lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise
destroyed, Maker shall execute and deliver to the Payee a new promissory note containing the same terms, and in the same form, as this
Note. In such event, Maker may require the Payee to deliver to Maker an affidavit of lost instrument and customary indemnity in respect
thereof as a condition to the delivery of any such new promissory note.



     


     


    




 


13.
       Due Authorization. This Note has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Maker
and is the legal obligation of Maker, enforceable against Maker in accordance with its terms. No consent of any other party and no consent,
license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required
in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Maker, or the validity or enforceability of this Note other than such
as have been met or obtained. The execution, delivery and performance of this Note and all other agreements and instruments executed
and delivered or to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or the securities issuable upon conversion of this will not
violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court, regulatory body or administrative agency
or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Maker or any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Maker
is a party or by which the Maker or any property or assets of the Maker may be bound.

waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of

process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to the other 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 manner permitted by law. Each of Maker and Payee hereby irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby.
