FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, DIGIPATH, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) with its principal executive office
at 6450 Cameron Blvd., Suite 113, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118, promises to pay to the order of JOHNNY M. PUGA or its registered assigns
(the “Holder” or “Payee”), the principal amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000)
(the “Principal Amount”), on August 11, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) or such earlier date
as this Note is required or permitted to be repaid as provided hereunder, and to pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted
and then outstanding Principal Amount of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) in accordance with
the provisions hereof.


 


Each
payment by the Company pursuant to this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds.
The Company (i) waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note and (ii) agrees to pay
to the Holder of this Note, on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) incurred
in connection with the enforcement and collection of this Note.


 


This
Note has been issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered
into between the Company and the Payee, and is secured by a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in
favor of Payee covering certain collateral (the “Collateral”), all as more particularly described and provided
therein, and is entitled to the benefits thereof. The Security Agreement and any and all other documents executed and delivered
by the Company to Payee under which Payee is granted liens on assets of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Securities Purchase Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Security Documents.” The security
interests of Payee under the Security Agreement are subordinate to the security interests of the existing note holders of the
Company pursuant to that certain Subordination and Consent Agreement of even date herewith.

Unless
otherwise defined in this Note, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.


 


1.
Principal Repayment


 


A.
Optional Prepayment. At any time from
and after the Issue Date, the Company may prepay this Note, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with accrued interest
to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.


 


B.
Notice of Prepayment. Before the Company
shall be permitted to prepay this Note pursuant to 1A hereof, the Company shall provide ten (10) days prior notice to the Payee
of its intent to make such prepayment, which notice shall state the date and amount of such prepayment (the “Prepayment
Date”). The Payee shall have the option at any time prior to the Prepayment Date to elect to convert this Note pursuant
to Section 5 below.


 


2.
Computation and Payment of Interest.


 


A.
Base Interest Rate. Subject to Sections
2B and 2C below, the outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of none (9%) percent per annum.


 


B.
Penalty Interest. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid Principal
Amount shall be increased to fifteen (15%) percent per annum.


 


C.
Maximum Rate. In the event that it is
determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (“Applicable
Usury Laws”), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any
other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Maximum Rate”), then such
interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period
shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by
such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied
to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments
shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration
for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident
applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company
is resident.


 


D.
Payment of Interest. Interest shall be
paid monthly on the first day of each month, beginning March 1, 2020, on the Maturity Date and each other date as the Principal
Amount of this Note is repaid in cash as provided hereunder.

any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereinafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.


 


5.
Conversion of Note.


 


A.
Optional Conversion. The Holder of this
Note shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date on which the Company makes payment in full of
the Principal Amount of this Note in accordance herewith, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable thereunder
to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such
Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest to be so converted the “Conversion Amount”) into shares of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company at an initial conversion price per
share equal to $0.15 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in subsection 5E
below. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at the Conversion Price are referred to herein as the
“Conversion Shares.”


 




    	6



     


    

 


B.
Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount
that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For the
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Holder may void the Conversion Share limitation
described in this Section 5B upon 65 days prior notice to the Company or without any notice requirement upon an Event of Default.


 


C.
Mechanics of Conversion.


 


(i)
Before the Holder of this Note shall be entitled
to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5A, such holder shall give written notice to the Company
in the form attached hereto as Annex A (“Conversion Notice”), at its principal corporate office, by
email, facsimile or otherwise, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the Conversion Amount and the name
or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. On or before the third (3rd) business
day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates
of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”)
and provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC, or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent
is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the
Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule
144.


 


(ii)
All Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion
of the Note will, upon issuance, be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with
respect to the issuance thereof.


 


D.
Authorized Shares. At all times the Company
shall have authorized and shall have reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the
Notes at the then effective Conversion Price. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at any time, the Conversion
Price is decreased, the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon the conversion of this Note
shall be proportionately increased.


 




    	7



     


    

 


E.
Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Conversion
Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:


 


(i)
In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare
a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend
or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.


 


(ii)
Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant
to Subsection (i) above, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall simultaneously be adjusted
by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Conversion Price in effect
on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price, as adjusted.


 


(iii)
In case of any reorganization, reclassification
or change of the Common Stock (including any such reorganization, reclassification or change in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with
or into, any other entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or of any sale
of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person or entity, this Note shall
thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note
would have been converted prior to such transaction. The provisions of this subsection (iii) shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers or sales immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger or sale.


 


6.
Amendments and Waivers.


 


The
provisions of this Note may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, if such amendment, modification or supplement
is in writing and consented to by the Company and the Holder. No failure or delay on the part of the Payee in exercising any power
or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Company
in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Payee shall,
except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval
hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. To the extent that the
Company makes a payment or payments to the Payee, and such payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently for any reason
invalidated, set aside and/or required to be repaid by the Payee to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy
law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made by the Payee or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


 




    	8



     


    

 


7.
Miscellaneous.


 


A.
Parties in Interest. All covenants, agreements
and undertakings in this Note binding upon the Company or the Payee shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and
permitted assigns of the Company and the Payee, respectively, whether so express or not.


 


B.
Governing Law. This Note shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.


  


C.
Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PAYEE AND THE COMPANY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR
ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS
(WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE PAYEE OR THE COMPANY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PAYEE’S
PURCHASING THIS NOTE.
