	$500,000.00
    	Round
    Rock, Texas
	 	October
    14, 2019

 

AYRO,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Mark E. Adams, an
individual (“Payee”) at 6001 Cervinus Run, Austin, Texas 78735, the aggregate principal sum of Five Hundred
Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Initial Principal Amount”), or so much as is actually
advanced by Payee to Maker, and to pay interest thereon as to any such sums as are advanced from Payee to Maker from the date
advanced as provided in this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”).

 

1.
Initial Term. All outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable on or before
the earlier of (a) the date that is one hundred and fifty (150) days following the date of issuance of this Note, or (b) the date
that is three (3) business days following the closing of a reverse merger transaction involving Maker (the “Maturity
Date”), unless such maturity date is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

2.
Funding. Maker agrees to fund the loan evidenced by this Note on the following schedule: One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00)
on or before October 15, 2019 (the “Initial Installment”); and Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00)
on or before October 24, 2019 (the “Subsequent Installment”). Maker agrees that from and after Maker’s
execution of this Note and acceptance of the Initial Installment from Payee, and as a condition of Payee’s agreement to
advance the loan contemplated herein to Maker, Payee will have a binding and enforceable right to timely advance to Maker the
Subsequent Installment, and upon timely funding such Subsequent Installment to receive the shares of Maker’s Common Stock
contemplated in Section 4.

 

3.
Interest. Interest will accrue on outstanding principal at Fourteen Percent (14%) per annum, simple interest from the date
of funding until repaid.

 

4.
Equity. In connection with the Maker’s issuance of this Note and Payee’s funding of the loan evidenced hereby,
Maker shall, upon Payee’s funding in full of the Initial Principal Amount, grant to Payee a number of shares of Maker’s
Common Stock (“Common Shares”) equal to the number of issuable shares as calculated below (the “Issuable
Shares”). Maker’s Common Stock has par value $0.001 per share and is subject to the rights and restrictions identified
in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The number of Issuable Shares will be equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(a) the Initial Principal Amount by (b) 1.056 Common Shares per dollar of the Initial Principal Amount (i.e., 528,000 Common Shares).
The number of Common Shares issued hereunder may be adjusted for stock splits, reverse splits and other equity adjustments that
similarly affect the rest of the class.

 

    	 

     

    

 

5.
Payments. Payments of accrued interest only will be made within ten (10) business days after the end each respective calendar
quarter. Thereafter, all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder shall be due and payable in full on
or prior to the Maturity Date. All payments hereunder shall be applied: (A) first, to accrued and unpaid interest, if any; (B)
second, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of this Note; and (C) third, to payment of any of Payee’s expenses
arising out of this Note. All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts due hereunder shall be made by Maker in lawful
money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at the principal place of business of Payee or at such other
place designated by Payee from time to time in writing to Maker. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments
shall be made when due under this Note. In the event Maker fails to make any payment due hereunder on or before the applicable
due date, Maker will issue to Payee shares of Maker’s Common Stock in the amount of ten thousand (10,000) shares per day
for each day by which such payment is late. This share issuance requirement will continue until such late payment is made in full
by Maker.

 

6.
Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, by Maker at any time or from time to time, without penalty or
premium and without advance notice to Payee, provided, however, that (i) Maker shall pay all then-accrued interest
in connection with any such prepayment, and (ii) Maker acknowledges that the Payee will have fully earned the Issuable Shares
upon Payee’s timely funding of the Initial Principal Amount, such that prepayment of this Note shall have no effect on Payee’s
ownership of the Issuable Shares.

 

7.
Collateral. The Note is to be secured by a first lien security interest in all assets of the Maker (the “Collateral”),
which lien is granted by Maker in favor of Payee pursuant to a Security Agreement of even date herewith. Maker represents and
warrants to Payee that (i) the Collateral is unencumbered as of the date hereof, and (ii) the lien on the Collateral securing
the Note will upon grant and thereafter be senior in priority to those securing any other indebtedness of Maker.

 

8.
Events of Default.

 

	 	a.	Any
    of the events specified in this Section 8 shall constitute a default by Maker hereunder (each, an “Event of Default”):

 

	 	i.	Failure
    to Pay. Default in the payment of the principal or unpaid accrued interest of this Note within ten (10) business days of the
    due date thereof (whether at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, or otherwise);
	 	ii.	Breach
    of Covenants. Any material breach by Maker of any representation, warranty, condition, agreement, or covenant in this Note,
    or the Security Agreement, including but not limited to Maker’s failure to timely issue an original executed stock certificate
    representing the Issuable Shares, which breach is not cured within ten (10) business days following the date on which Payee
    has provided written notice to Maker of the occurrence thereof;

 

    	2

     

    

 

	 	iii.	Change
    of Control. Any transaction or series of transactions, the consummation of which results in a change of Control of Maker (as
    defined below) of all or substantially all of its business, including, but not limited to: (A) the transfer of all or substantially
    all of Maker’s assets other than to one or more affiliates of Maker with the prior consent of Payee, or (B) a transfer
    of Maker’s equity or a reorganization or a merger or consolidation of Maker, in each such case in this subsection (B)
    with an unaffiliated third party (each, an “Unauthorized Transferee”), in a single transaction or a series of
    transactions which results in an Unauthorized Transferee owning 50% or more of the voting and equity rights of Maker (or the
    merged or consolidated entity) immediately following such transfer, reorganization, merger or consolidation or series of transactions,
    except, in each case, with the prior written consent of Payee, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or denied.
    As used herein, “Control of Maker” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or
    cause the direction of the management and policies of Maker, whether through the ownership of equity, by contract or otherwise.
    For purposes of this Section 8, change of control of Maker does not include the contemplated reverse merger transaction
    currently under evaluation; or
	 	iv.	Bankruptcy;
    Etc. Maker (A) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (B) consents to or seeks the appointment of a custodian,
    receiver, trustee or other similar official for itself or for all or a substantial part of its assets, , (C) suffers the appointment
    of an official as described in (B), and such person is not removed within sixty (60) days after the appointment, or (D) proceedings
    are commenced against Maker under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, or similar laws of any jurisdiction, and they
    remain undismissed for sixty (60) days after commencement;
	 	v.	Judgments.
    One or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against Maker and all of such judgments or decree shall not have been vacated,
    discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within thirty (30) calendar days from the entry thereof.

 

	 	b.	Upon
    and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but only subsequent to the expiration of any applicable cure period), Payee
    may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the following remedies, by notice in writing to Maker:

 

	 	i.	Declare
    the total unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately due and
    payable; or
	 	ii.	Exercise
    any other right or remedy available to Payee under the Security Agreement, or at law or in equity.

 

	 	c.	Payee’s
    remedies under this Note shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against Maker,
    and Payee may resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, including without limitation judicial or
    nonjudicial foreclosure against the Collateral, exercise of any judicial or power of sale rights, or acts in a court of law
    to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of receiver
    or additional or supplementary remedies, all without first exhausting the rights and remedies contained herein, all in Payee’s
    sole discretion. Failure of Payee, for a period of time or on more than one occasion, to exercise any right or remedy hereunder
    shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any time during the continued existence of the Event of
    Default or in the event of any subsequent Event of Default. Payee shall not by any omission or act be deemed to waive any
    of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically
    set forth therein. A waiver in connection with one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of
    any right or remedy in connection with a subsequent event.

 

    	3

     

    

 

	 	d.	Maker
    hereby waives presentment and demand for payment, notices of nonpayment and of dishonor, protest of dishonor, and notice of
    protest.

 

9.
Assignment. The rights and obligations of Maker, and Payee in this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the successors
and permitted assigns and transferees of such parties. This Note is not assignable by any party unless the other party consents
to such assignment, the consent for which assignment or transfer may be withheld, delayed or denied by the relevant party in its
sole and absolute discretion.

 

10.
Loss, Destruction, Mutilation. Upon receipt by Maker of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Note, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the
case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, Maker will execute and deliver a new Note, which shall constitute
an additional contractual obligation on the part of Maker. The issuance and delivery of such new Note shall render this Note null

the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such unlawful, void or unenforceable provision were not contained therein,
and that the rights, obligations and interests of Maker and Payee under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force
and effect.
