    2 


     


    

 


(ix)            The
Company shall fail to reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares equal to at least 2 (two)
times the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Note.


 


 (b)         Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured within five calendar days from the date of the Event of Default

prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default (the “Default Effect”) and a daily penalty of $500 (five hundred)
will accrue until the default is remedied. The Default Effect shall automatically apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
without the need for any party to give any notice or take any other action. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, 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 Outstanding Balance, 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.


 


(3)            CONVERSION
OF NOTE. The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert the
Outstanding Balance into shares of the Company's Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.


 


(a)         Conversion
Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), at any time or times, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion
of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in
accordance with Section 3(b), at the Conversion Price (as defined below). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be equal to the quotient of dividing the Conversion Amount by the
Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would
result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock
up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer agent fees, legal fees, costs and any other fees or costs
that may be incurred or charged in connection with the issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Holder arising
out of or relating to the conversion of this Note.


 


(i)        "Conversion Amount" means the portion of the Original Principal Amount and Interest to be converted, plus
any penalties, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.


 


(ii)        "Conversion Price" shall equal $0.03 (three) cents, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.


 


(b)         Mechanics
of Conversion.


 


(i)        Optional
Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"),
the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time,
on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion
Notice") to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the
"Share Delivery Date"), 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 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 through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the 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. If this Note
is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the
Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later
than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing
the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion
of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission
of a Conversion Notice.


 






    3 


     


    

 


(ii)          Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within two (2) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile
or email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder via “DWAC/FAST” electronic
transfer the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion
Amount (a "Conversion Failure"), the Original Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by $1,000 per day until
the Company issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder’s
and Company’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issuance Date). Company will not be subject to any penalties
once its transfer agent processes the shares to the DWAC system. If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with
the timeframe stated in this Section, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those
shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have
the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Outstanding Balance with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company
(under Holder’s and Company’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date
of the Note).


 


(iii)         DTC Eligibility & Sub-Penny. If the Company fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any
reason, or, if the Share Price is less than $0.01 at any time, the Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000) (under Holder’s and Company’s expectation that any Principal Amount increase will tack back to the
Issuance Date).


 


(iv)         Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note
in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless
(A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior
written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender
of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of
such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical
surrender of this Note upon conversion.


 


(c) Limitations
on Conversions or Trading.


 


(i)          Beneficial
Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any
portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect
to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own
(as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment
of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at
the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess
of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall
be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this
Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance
in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for
the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and, any principal
amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. In the event
that the Market Capitalization of the Company falls below $2,500,000, the term “4.99%” above shall be permanently replaced
with “9.99%”. “Market Capitalization” shall be defined as the product of (a) the closing price of the Common
Stock of the Common stock multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported on the Company’s
most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q. The provisions of this Section may be waived by Holder upon not less than 65 days prior
written notification to the Company.


 




    4 


     


    

 


 


(ii)       Capitalization.
So long as this as this Note is outstanding, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall furnish to the Holder the then-current
number of common shares issued and outstanding, the then-current number of common shares authorized, and the then-current number
of shares reserved for third parties.


 


(d) Other
Provisions.


 


(i)      Share
Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares
equal to at least 2 (two) times the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts
under this Note; and within 3 (three) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum
number of shares of Common Stock is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to comply with such requirement.


 


(ii)     Prepayment.
The Company may prepay this Note at anytime without penalty.


 


(iii)    All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to the nearest $0.00001 or whole share.


 


(iv)    Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the
Company's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein
and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security.
The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof
or under applicable law.


 


(4)             PIGGYBACK
REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company shall include on the current registration statement the Company has with SEC (or on the subsequent
registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) all shares issuable upon conversion of this Note. Failure to
do so will result in liquidated damages of 15% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, but not less than $20,000, being
immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.


  




    5 


     


    

 


 


(5)
          Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security
that was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more
favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder. The types
of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to,
terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price,
private placement price per share, and warrant coverage. Financings in which the Company receives proceeds of one million dollars
or greater or excluded from the Terms of Future Financings.


 


(6)           REISSUANCE
OF THIS NOTE.


 


(a)        Assignability. The Company may not assign this Note. This Note will be binding upon the Company and its successors
and will inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Holder to anyone of its choosing
without Company’s approval.


 


(b)        Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification
undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this
Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal.


 


(7)           NOTICES. Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile
(provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) (iii)
upon receipt, when sent by email; or (iv) one (1) Trading Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,
in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall
be those set forth in the communications and documents that each party has provided the other immediately preceding the issuance
of this Note or at such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party
has specified by written notice given to each other party three (3) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written
confirmation of receipt (i) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (ii) mechanically or
electronically generated by the sender's facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of
the first page of such transmission or (iii) provided by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, shall be rebuttable
evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance
with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

(8)               
APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of California, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of California or in the federal courts
located in the city of San Diego, in the State of California. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to
submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.


 


(9)               
WAIVER. Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed
to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the
Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive
that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must
be in writing.


 


(10)           
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Holder and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or
provisions of this Note, Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because
of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors.
Accordingly, Holder and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, default interest or other charges assessed under this
Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Holder's
and Company's expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the
holding period under Rule 144).
