1.
Interest. Simple interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of 10% per annum commencing March

the sale of any one or more of common stock, preferred stock or any securities convertible into common stock or preferred stock of the
Company. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars and applied first to Costs (as defined below), then to accrued and unpaid
interest due and payable and any remainder applied to principal. The Company may prepay this Note at its sole and absolute discretion.
The Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.

provided, however, that the Company may not assign its obligations under this Note without the written consent of the Lender.
This Note may be transferred and assigned by the Lender only upon surrender of this Note to the Company and instruction by the Lender
to reissue a new note to the transferee. The Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note receives this Note subject to the foregoing
terms and conditions, and agrees to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions for the benefit of the Company and any other Lenders.

hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by declaration or otherwise (“Costs”). The Company agrees that any delay on
the part of the holder in exercising any rights hereunder will not operate as a waiver of such rights. The holder of this Note shall
not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall
be valid unless in writing and signed by the party or parties waiving such rights or remedies.

represents that it intends to use the principal of this Promissory Note primarily for the operations of its business, and not for any
personal, family or household purpose.
