representing the Conversion Shares. If Conversion Shares are to be issued in the name of a Person other than the present Holder, the
Holder will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto and will deliver the Note for cancellation. No fee will be charged to
the Holder for any conversion, except for such transfer taxes, if any. In lieu of issuing fractional Conversion Shares upon conversion
of all or any portion of this Note, the Company shall pay cash in an amount equal to the product of the then applicable Conversion Price
(or Default Conversion Price, as the case may be) per Conversion Share and the number of fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable
hereunder. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of this Note is converted pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement
and this Note, the Company will additionally deliver to the Holder an amended and restated Note, containing an original principal amount
equal to that portion of the then-outstanding principal amount not converted containing the other terms and provisions of this Note and
otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the conversion of this Note, all rights of the Holder, except
the right to receive the Conversion Shares in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and this Note, will cease as to that portion of
the Note so converted and this Note will no longer be deemed to be outstanding as to that portion of the Note so converted.


 


(ii)            Failure
to Deliver Certificates. If, upon conversion pursuant to Section 3(a), such Conversion Share certificate or certificates are
not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written
notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates to rescind such Conversion, in which event
the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company.


 


(iii)            Obligation
Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with
the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver
or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of
any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion
Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against
the Holder.


 






    7


     


    

 


(iv)            Adjustment.
The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or any portion thereof (or any shares of stock or other securities
or property at the time receivable or issuable upon conversion of this Note or any portion thereof) and the Conversion Price therefor
are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of any of the following events between the Original Issue Date and the date that all obligations
hereunder are repaid or this Note is converted into Conversion Shares:


 


(a)            The
Conversion Price and Default Conversion Price of this Note will be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding Conversion Shares.


  


(b)            In
case of any Change of Control Transaction or Fundamental Transaction then, the Holder, upon the conversion of this Note at any time after
the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction or Fundamental Transaction (as the case may be), will be entitled to receive,
in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such consummation, the stock
or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction
or Fundamental Transaction (as the case may be) if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment
as provided in this Note, and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company)
will be made in the application of the provisions in this Section with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder,
to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation
to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note. The successor or purchasing corporation
in any such reorganization, consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) will duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement
hereto reasonably acceptable to the Holder acknowledging such entity’s obligations under this Note and, in each such case, the
terms of the Note will be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the conversion of this Note
after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger.


 


(c)            In
case all the authorized Conversion Shares of the Company is converted, pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,
into other securities or property, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon conversion of
this Note at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the “End Date”),
will receive, in lieu of the number of Conversion Shares that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the End
Date (the “Former Number of Conversion Shares”), the stock and other securities and property which the Holder would
have been entitled to receive upon the End Date if the Holder had converted this Note with respect to the Former Number of Conversion
Shares immediately prior to the End Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note).


 


(v)            The
Company will, at its expense, cause an authorized officer promptly to prepare a written certificate showing each adjustment or readjustment
of the Conversion Price, or the number of Conversion Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note and cause such
certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The certificate will describe
the adjustment or readjustment and include a description in reasonable detail of the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is
based. The form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price, as the case may be, or in the number
of Conversion Shares issuable upon its conversion.


 






    8


     


    

 


(vi)            Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert
any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (I) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Note
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7(vi), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance
therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7(vi) applies, the determination of whether this Note
is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which
portion of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall
be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition,
a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7(vi), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder in compliance with this Section 7(vi) prior to
the issuance of any Notes, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7(vi), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99%
of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 7(vi) shall continue to apply. Any increase
in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the
terms of this Section 7(vi) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(b)            Absolute
Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, 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 accrued interest, as applicable, on this Note at the time, place, and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This Note ranks pari passu
with all other Notes and all other senior Indebtedness now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth herein.


 


(c)            Lost
or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen, or destroyed Note,
a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such
loss, theft, or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company.


 


(d)            Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement, and defense of the transactions (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in New York City (the “New York County Courts”). Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York County Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York County Courts, or such
New York County Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service
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 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 applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, 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. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any
provisions of this Note, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s
fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation, and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


 


(e)            Severability.
If any provision of this Note is 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.


 


(f)            Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches, and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or
other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any
failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization
concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments
and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided
herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it
of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the
Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Note.


 






    10


     


    

  


(g)            Next
Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be made on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


(h)            Headings.
The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.


 


(i)            Amendments;
Waiver. No provision of this Purchase Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented, or amended except in a written instrument
signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Holders holding at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any
default with respect to any provision, condition, or requirement of this Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver
in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition, or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.


 


(j)            Equal
Treatment of Holder. No consideration (including any modification of this Note) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision hereof. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest
on the Notes in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes at any applicable time.
For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Holder by the Company and negotiated separately
by each Holder and is intended for the Company to treat the Holders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Holders acting
in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase or disposition of the Notes or otherwise.


 


(k)            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 any Holder in order to enforce any right or remedy, including,
without limitation, any law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest
on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of
any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted. It is expressly agreed
and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Notes for payments 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 in the nature of interest that the
Company may be obligated to pay exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law is
increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of
interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Notes 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 any Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, such excess shall be applied by such Holder to the unpaid principal
amount of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Holder’s election.
