for payment to the Company or others, may declare the then outstanding principal balance of this Debenture, together with all other

all such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate, together with all reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees
and costs and expenses incurred by the Holder in collecting or enforcing payment thereof (whether such reasonable fees, costs or
expenses are incurred in negotiations, all trial and appellate levels, administrative proceedings, bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise),
and all other sums due by the Company hereunder, all without any relief whatsoever from any valuation or appraisement laws and
payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to the Holder
at law, in equity, or under this Debenture.

 

4.          Lost
or Stolen Debenture. Upon notice to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the
case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Company and customary for similar circumstances in commercial lender/borrower circumstances, and, in the case of mutilation,

6.          Governing
Law. This Debenture shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and performance of this Debenture shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect
to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of California 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 any such court, that such
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper,
provided, however, nothing contained herein shall limit the Holder’s ability to bring suit or enforce this Debenture in any
other jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served
in any such suit, action or proceeding by sending by certified mail or overnight courier a copy thereof to such party at the address
indicated in the preamble hereto 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.

 

7.          Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies of the Holder as provided herein shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be
exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be
construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

8.          Specific
Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Debenture shall limit or modify any more general
provision contained herein. This Debenture shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be
construed against any person as the drafter hereof.

 

9.          Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights
or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth
in the writing. A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a
subsequent event.

 

10.         Notice.
Notice shall be given to each party at the address indicated in the preamble hereto or at such other address as provided to the
other party in writing.

 

11.         Usury
Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Debenture, the total liability for payments of interest and payments
in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be
deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture or any
other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including,
without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason
whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed
by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for
the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction
of the outstanding principal balance of this Debenture immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same
force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of such outstanding
principal balance and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however,
that the Holder of this Debenture may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive,
reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as
a prepayment of the outstanding principal balance. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect
to pay nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Debenture greater than the highest non-usurious
rate of interest that may be charged under applicable law.

 

12.         Attorneys’
Fees and Costs. Holder shall be entitled to receive and Company agrees to pay all expenses incurred by Holder (including the
fees, costs, charges and disbursements of any counsel engaged or retained by Holder) in connection with any litigation or controversy
connected with this Debenture or the transactions contemplated hereby, including under any Debtor Relief Laws, receivership, injunction
or other proceeding, or any appeal from or petition for review of any such proceeding, involving the Company, or any workout, renegotiation
or restructuring of the transactions contemplated by this Debenture or otherwise incurred by Holder after the occurrence of an
Event of Default.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

13.         Binding
Effect. This Debenture shall be binding upon the Company and the successors and assigns of the Company and shall inure to the
benefit of Holder and the successors and assigns of Holder.

 

14.         Severability.
In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Debenture shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable,
in whole or in part, in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Debenture operates or would
prospectively operate to invalidate this Debenture, then and in any of those events, only such provision or provisions shall be
deemed null and void and shall not affect any other provision of this Debenture. The remaining provisions of this Debenture shall
remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced, or disturbed thereby.

 

15.         Participations.
Holder may from time to time sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in this Debenture and/or the obligations
evidenced hereby, subject, however, to first obtaining the Company’s written consent. The holder of any such sale, assignment
or participation, if the applicable agreement between Holder and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the
rights, obligations and benefits of Holder (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation); and (b) deemed to
hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker’s lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to the
Company (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation), in each case as fully as though the Company was directly
indebted to such holder.

 

16.         Amendments.
The provisions of this Debenture may be changed only by a written agreement executed by the Company and Holder.
