CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE 

 

	Effective
    Date: February 27, 2019	U.S.
    $1,050,000.00

 

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, China Recycling Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”),
promises to pay to Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership,
or its successors or assigns (“Lender”), $1,050,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees on the
date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Purchase Price Date (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with
the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the
Purchase Price Date until the same is paid in full. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued
and made effective as of February 27, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 27, 2019, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Borrower and
Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

This
Note carries an OID of $50,000.00, all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of this Note. The purchase
price for this Note shall be $1,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), computed as follows: $1,050,000.00 original
principal balance, less the OID. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Lender via wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

Payment;
Prepayment; Maturity Date Extension.

 

1.1.
Payment. Provided there is an Outstanding Balance, on each Redemption Date (as defined below), Borrower shall pay to Lender
an amount equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined below) due on such Redemption Date in accordance with Section 8. All
payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America or Conversion Shares (as defined below), as
provided for herein, and delivered to Lender at the address or bank account furnished to Borrower for that purpose. All payments
shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid
interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.

 

1.2.
Prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Borrower has not received a Lender Conversion Notice (as defined
below) or a Redemption Notice (as defined below) from Lender where the applicable Conversion Shares have not yet been delivered
and so long as no Event of Default has occurred since the Effective Date (whether declared by Lender or undeclared and regardless
of whether or not cured), then Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than five (5) Trading Days prior written
notice to Lender to prepay the Outstanding Balance of this Note, in full, in accordance with this Section 1.2. Any notice of prepayment
hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to Lender at its registered address and shall
state: (i) that Borrower is exercising its right to prepay this Note, and (ii) the date of prepayment, which shall be not less
than five (5) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional
Prepayment Date”), Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order
of Lender as may be specified by Lender in writing to Borrower. If Borrower exercises its right to prepay this Note, Borrower
shall make payment to Lender of an amount in cash equal to 125% (the “Prepayment Premium”) multiplied by the
then Outstanding Balance of this Note (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). In the event Borrower delivers the
Optional Prepayment Amount to Lender prior to the Optional Prepayment Date or without delivering an Optional Prepayment Notice
to Lender as set forth herein without Lender’s prior written consent, the Optional Prepayment Amount shall not be deemed
to have been paid to Lender until the Optional Prepayment Date. Moreover, in such event the Optional Prepayment Liquidated Damages
Amount will automatically be added to the Outstanding Balance of this Note on the day Borrower delivers the Optional Prepayment
Amount to Lender. In the event Borrower delivers the Optional Prepayment Amount without an Optional Prepayment Notice, then the
Optional Prepayment Date will be deemed to be the date that is five (5) Trading Days from the date that the Optional Prepayment
Amount was delivered to Lender and Lender shall be entitled to exercise its conversion rights set forth herein during such five
(5) day period.

 

     

     

    

 

1.3.
Maturity Date Extension. In the event this Note has not been repaid by the Maturity Date and provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred hereunder at any time after the Effective Date, then the Maturity Date shall automatically be extended
for an additional year (the “Extension Period”). No interest shall accrue on this Note during the Extension
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default during the Extension Period, the Extension Period
shall immediately terminate and this Note shall immediately be due and payable in full.

 

2.
Security. This Note is not secured.

 

3.
Lender Optional Conversion.

 

3.1.
Lender Conversions. Lender has the right at any time after the Purchase Price Date until the Outstanding Balance has been
paid in full, including without limitation until any Optional Prepayment Date (even if Lender has received an Optional Prepayment
Notice) or at any time thereafter with respect to any amount that is not prepaid (each instance of conversion is referred to herein
as a “Lender Conversion”) all or any part of the Outstanding Balance into shares (“Lender Conversion
Shares”) of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”),
of Borrower as per the following conversion formula: the number of Lender Conversion Shares equals the amount being converted
(the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Lender Conversion Price (as defined below). Conversion notices in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Lender Conversion Notice”) may be effectively delivered
to Borrower by any method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to facsimile, email, mail, overnight courier, or
personal delivery), and all Lender Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Lender. Borrower shall deliver
the Lender Conversion Shares from any Lender Conversion to Lender in accordance with Section 9 below.

 

3.2.
Lender Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment as set forth in this Note, the price at which Lender has the right to convert
all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into Common Stock is $3.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Lender Conversion
Price”). However, in the event the Market Capitalization falls below the Minimum Market Capitalization at any time,
then in such event the Lender Conversion Price for all Lender Conversions occurring after the first date of such occurrence shall
equal the lower of the Lender Conversion Price and the Market Price as of any applicable date of Conversion.

 

    2

     

    

 

4.
Defaults and Remedies.

 

4.1.
Defaults. The following are events of default under this Note (each, an “Event of Default”): (a) Borrower
fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) Borrower fails to
deliver any Lender Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereof except such failure to deliver is due to ownership limitation
as set forth in Section 11 or otherwise legally restricted; (c) Borrower fails to deliver any Redemption Conversion Shares (as
defined below) in accordance with the terms hereof except such failure to deliver is due to ownership limitation as set forth
in Section 11 or otherwise legally restricted; (d) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower
or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed
or discharged within sixty (60) days; (e) Borrower fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they
become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (f) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(g) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (h) an involuntary
bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (i) Borrower defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any
covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, other than those
specifically set forth in this Section 4.1 and Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement; (j) any representation, warranty or other
statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection
with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (k)
the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without Lender’s prior written consent; (l) Borrower fails to maintain the Share
Reserve as required under the Purchase Agreement; (m) Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Stock without twenty
(20) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender; (n) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against
Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $1,000,000.00, and shall remain unvacated,
unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; (o) Borrower fails to
be DWAC Eligible; (p) Borrower fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement; or (q)
Borrower breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
occurrence of the events described in Section 4.1(j) – (q) above shall not be considered an Event of Default if such event
is cured within five (5) Trading Days of the occurrence of such event.

 

4.2.
Remedies. At any time and from time to time after Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender
may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash
at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Lender may, at its option, elect to increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Default Effect (subject to the limitation
set forth below) via written notice to Borrower without accelerating the Outstanding Balance, in which event the Outstanding Balance
shall be increased as of the date of the occurrence of the applicable Event of Default pursuant to the Default Effect, but the
Outstanding Balance shall not be immediately due and payable unless so declared by Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, if Lender
elects to apply the Default Effect pursuant to this sentence, it shall reserve the right to declare the Outstanding Balance immediately
due and payable at any time and no such election by Lender shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to declare the Outstanding
Balance immediately due and payable as set forth herein unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 4.1, the Outstanding
Balance as of the date of acceleration shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default
Amount, without any written notice required by Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender may continue making Lender Conversions
and Redemption Conversions (as defined below) at any time following an Event of Default until such time as the Outstanding Balance
is paid in full. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Lender may continue making Conversions following the entry of any
judgment or arbitration award in favor of Lender until such time that the entire judgment amount or arbitration award is paid
in full. Borrower agrees that any judgment or arbitration award will, by its terms, be made convertible into Common Stock. Any
Conversions made following a judgment or arbitration award shall be made pursuant to the conversion mechanics for Redemption Conversions
set forth in Section 8 of this Note. In such event, Borrower and Lender agree that it is their expectation that any such judgment
amount or arbitration award that is converted will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding
period under Rule 144. Additionally, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower may, at its option, pay any Lender
Conversion in cash instead of Lender Conversion Shares by paying to Lender on or before the applicable Delivery Date (as defined
below) a cash amount equal to the number of Lender Conversion Shares set forth in the applicable Lender Conversion Notice multiplied
by the highest intra-day trading price of the Common Stock that occurs during the period beginning on the date the applicable
Event of Default occurred and ending on the date of the applicable Lender Conversion Notice. In connection with acceleration described
herein, Lender may enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable
law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all
rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment pursuant to this Section 4.2. No such
rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall
limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree
of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares
upon Conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

    3

     

    

 

4.3.
Certain Additional Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Borrower fails to make any payment
when due or fails to deliver any Conversion Shares as and when required under this Note, then the Lender Conversion Price for
all Lender Conversions occurring after the date of such failure to pay shall equal the lower of the Lender Conversion Price and
the Market Price as of any applicable date of Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender’s exercise of the rights granted
to it pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to continue paying the Redemption Amount on all
future Redemption Dates.

 

5.
Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset
it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments or Conversions called
for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

6.
Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the
party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing
waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in
writing.

 

7.
Adjustment of Lender Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision hereof,
if Borrower at any time on or after the Effective Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise)
one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Lender Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision hereof, if Borrower
at any time on or after the Effective Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Lender Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7 shall become effective immediately
after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7 occurs
during the period that a Lender Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Lender Conversion Price
shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

    4

     

    

 

8.
Borrower Redemptions.

 

8.1.
Redemption Conversion Price. Subject to the adjustments set forth herein, the conversion price for each Redemption Conversion
(as defined below) (the “Redemption Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) the Lender Conversion Price,
and (b) the Market Price.

 

8.2.
Redemption Conversions. Beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the Purchase Price Date, Lender shall have the
right, exercisable at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Note (such amount, the
“Redemption Amount”) by providing Borrower with a notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B (each, a “Redemption Notice”, and each date on which Lender delivers a Redemption Notice, a “Redemption
Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the nine-month period following the Purchase Price Date, Lender may not,
in the aggregate, redeem more than 50% of the then-current Outstanding Balance (the “Maximum Redemption Amount Cap”);
provided, however that the Maximum Redemption Amount Cap shall no longer apply after the earlier of the first occurrence
of any Event of Default hereunder and the date that is nine (9) months from the Purchase Price Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
Lender may submit to Borrower one (1) or more Redemption Notices in any given calendar month so long as the aggregate Redemption
Amounts do not exceed the Maximum Redemption Amount Cap (for so long as the Maximum Redemption Amount Cap remains in effect; thereafter,
there shall be no limit on the Redemption Amounts). Payments of each Redemption Amount may be made (a) in cash, or (b) by converting
such Redemption Amount into shares of Common Stock (“Redemption Conversion Shares”, and together with the Lender
Conversion Shares, the “Conversion Shares”) in accordance with this Section 8 (each, a “Redemption
Conversion”) per the following formula: the number of Redemption Conversion Shares equals the portion of the applicable
Redemption Amount being converted divided by the Redemption Conversion Price, or (c) by any combination of the foregoing, so long
as the cash is delivered to Lender on the third Trading Day immediately following the applicable Redemption Date and the Redemption
Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender on or before the applicable Delivery Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower will
not be entitled to elect a Redemption Conversion with respect to any portion of any applicable Redemption Amount and shall be
required to pay the entire amount of such Redemption Amount in cash, if on the applicable Redemption Date there is an Equity Conditions
Failure, and such failure is not waived in writing by Lender. Notwithstanding that failure to repay this Note in full by the Maturity
Date is an Event of Default, the Redemption Dates shall continue after the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 8 until
the Outstanding Balance is repaid in full.

 

8.3.
Allocation of Redemption Amounts. Following its receipt of a Redemption Notice, Borrower may either ratify Lender’s
proposed allocation in the applicable Redemption Notice or elect to change the allocation by written notice to Lender by email
or fax within twenty-four (24) hours of its receipt of such Redemption Notice, so long as the sum of the cash payments and the
amount of Redemption Conversions equal the applicable Redemption Amount. If Borrower fails to notify Lender of its election to
change the allocation prior to the deadline set forth in the previous sentence, it shall be deemed to have ratified and accepted
the allocation set forth in the applicable Redemption Notice prepared by Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amounts
and calculations set forth thereon are subject to correction or adjustment because of error, mistake, or any adjustment resulting
from an Event of Default or other adjustment permitted under the Transaction Documents (an “Adjustment”). Furthermore,
no error or mistake in the preparation of such notices, or failure to apply any Adjustment that could have been applied prior
to the preparation of a Redemption Notice may be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to enforce the terms of any Note, even
if such error, mistake, or failure to include an Adjustment arises from Lender’s own calculation. Borrower shall deliver
the Redemption Conversion Shares from any Redemption Conversion to Lender in accordance with Section 9 below on or before each
applicable Delivery Date. If Borrower elects to pay a Redemption Amount in cash, such payment must be delivered on the second
Trading Day immediately following the Redemption Date. If Borrowers elects to make a payment in cash and fails to make such payment
by the required due date on two (2) separate occasions, Borrower shall lose the right to make payments of Redemption Amounts in
cash in the future without Lender’s written consent.

 

    5

     

    

 

9.
Method of Conversion Share Delivery. On or before the close of business on the fifth (5th) Trading Day following
each Redemption Date or the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of delivery of a Lender Conversion Notice, as
applicable (the “Delivery Date”), Borrower shall, provided it is DWAC Eligible at such time, deliver or cause
its transfer agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares electronically via DWAC to the account designated by Lender in
the applicable Lender Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice. If Borrower is not DWAC Eligible, it shall deliver to Lender or
its broker (as designated in the Lender Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice, as applicable), via reputable overnight courier,
a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares to which Lender shall
be entitled, registered in the name of Lender or its designee. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower has not met its obligation
to deliver Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date unless Lender or its broker, as applicable, has actually received the certificate
representing the applicable Conversion Shares no later than the close of business on the relevant Delivery Date pursuant to the
terms set forth above. Moreover, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in
the event Borrower or its transfer agent refuses to deliver any Conversion Shares to Lender on grounds that such issuance is in
violation of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), Borrower shall deliver or
cause its transfer agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares to Lender with a restricted securities legend, but otherwise
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9. In conjunction therewith, Borrower will also deliver to Lender a written
opinion from its counsel or its transfer agent’s counsel opining as to why the issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares
violates Rule 144.

 

10.
Conversion Delays. If Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the timeframes stated in Sections
9, Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those Conversion Shares may rescind in whole or in part that particular Conversion
attributable to the unsold Conversion Shares, with a corresponding increase to the Outstanding Balance (any returned amount will
tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144). In addition, for each Lender
Conversion, in the event that Lender Conversion Shares are not delivered by the sixth (6th) Trading Day (inclusive
of the day of the Lender Conversion), a late fee equal to the greater of (a) $500.00 and (b) 2% of the applicable Lender Conversion
Share Value rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each Lender
Conversion shall not exceed 100% of the applicable Lender Conversion Share Value) will be assessed for each day after the fifth
(5th) Trading Day (inclusive of the day of the Lender Conversion) until Lender Conversion Share delivery is made; and
such late fee will be added to the Outstanding Balance (such fees, the “Conversion Delay Late Fees”). For illustration
purposes only, if Lender delivers a Lender Conversion Notice to Borrower pursuant to which Borrower is required to deliver 100,000
Lender Conversion Shares to Lender and on the Delivery Date such Lender Conversion Shares have a Lender Conversion Share Value
of $20,000.00 (assuming a Closing Trade Price on the Delivery Date of $0.20 per share of Common Stock), then in such event a Conversion
Delay Late Fee in the amount of $500.00 per day (the greater of $500.00 per day and $20,000.00 multiplied by 2%, which is $400.00)
would be added to the Outstanding Balance of the Note until such Lender Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender. For purposes
of this example, if the Lender Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender twenty (20) days after the applicable Delivery Date,
the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the Outstanding Balance would be $10,000.00 (20 days multiplied by
$500.00 per day). If the Lender Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender one hundred (100) days after the applicable Delivery
Date, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the Outstanding Balance would be $20,000.00 (100 days multiplied
by $500.00 per day, but capped at 100% of the Lender Conversion Share Value).

 

    6

     

    

 

11.
Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other Transaction Documents,
if at any time Lender shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance
would cause Lender (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such issuance) (the
“Maximum Percentage”), then Borrower must not issue to Lender shares of Common Stock which would exceed the
Maximum Percentage. For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined pursuant to Section
13(d) of the 1934 Act. The shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender that would cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded are
referred to herein as the “Ownership Limitation Shares”. Borrower will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares
for the exclusive benefit of Lender. From time to time, Lender may notify Borrower in writing of the number of the Ownership Limitation
Shares that may be issued to Lender without causing Lender to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower
shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to Lender, with a corresponding reduction in the
number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the term “4.99%” above shall be replaced
with “9.99%” at such time as the Market Capitalization is less than $10,000,000.00. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein, if the term “4.99%” is replaced with “9.99%” pursuant to the preceding sentence, such
increase to “9.99%” shall remain at 9.99% until increased, decreased or waived by Lender as set forth below. By written
notice to Borrower, Lender may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be
effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof. The foregoing 61-day notice requirement is enforceable, unconditional and
non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Lender.

 

12.
Payment of Collection Costs. If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to
commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Lender
otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note, then Borrower shall pay
the costs incurred by Lender for such collection, enforcement or action including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements. Borrower also agrees to pay for any costs, fees or charges of its transfer agent that are charged to Lender pursuant
to any Conversion or issuance of shares pursuant to this Note.

 

13.
Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any matter related to this Note, Lender has the
right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.

 

14.
Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

15.
Resolution of Disputes.

 

15.1.
Arbitration of Disputes. By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.

 

15.2.
Calculation Disputes. Notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions, in the case of a dispute as to any Calculation (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement), such dispute will be resolved in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

    7

     

    

 

16.
Cancellation. After repayment or conversion of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Note shall be deemed paid in full,
shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.

 

17.
Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.

 

18.
Assignments. Neither party may assign this Note without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however,
that Lender may assign this Note to any of its affiliates or any trust where John M. Fife’s descendants are beneficiaries
without Borrower’s consent. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned
or transferred by Lender without the consent of Borrower.

 

19.
Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Note and
the documents and instruments entered into in connection herewith.

 

20.
Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be
given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”

 

21.
Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions
of this Note, Lender’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, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, 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 Lender’s and Borrower’s
expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding
period under Rule 144).

 

22.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF LENDER AND BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO
BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE
STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING
SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

 

23.
Voluntary Agreement. Borrower has carefully read this Note and has asked any questions needed for Borrower to understand
the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Note and fully understand them. Borrower has had the opportunity to seek the
advice of an attorney of Borrower’s choosing, or has waived the right to do so, and is executing this Note voluntarily and
without any duress or undue influence by Lender or anyone else.

 

24.
Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve
the objective of Borrower and Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full
force and effect.

closing trade price, respectively, for the Common Stock on its principal market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if its principal
market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price (as
the case may be) then the last bid price or last trade price, respectively, of the Common Stock prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New
York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if its principal market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for
the Common Stock, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of the Common Stock on the principal securities
exchange or trading market where the Common Stock is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply,
the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the electronic
bulletin board for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is
reported for the Common Stock by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers
for the Common Stock as reported by OTC Markets Group, Inc., and any successor thereto. If the Closing Bid Price or the Closing
Trade Price cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price
or the Closing Trade Price (as the case may be) of the Common Stock on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined
by Lender and Borrower. If Lender and Borrower are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Common Stock, then such dispute
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 15.2. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted
for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.

 

A3.
“Conversion” means a Lender Conversion under Section 3 or a Redemption Conversion under Section 8.

 

A4.
“Conversion Factor” means 75%, subject to the following adjustments. If at any time after the Effective Date,
Borrower is not DWAC Eligible, then the then-current Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by 5% for all future Conversions.
If at any time after the Effective Date, the Conversion Shares are not DTC Eligible, then the then-current Conversion Factor will
automatically be reduced by an additional 5% for all future Conversions. Finally, in addition to the Default Effect, if any Major
Default occurs after the Effective Date, the Conversion Factor shall automatically be reduced for all future Conversions by an
additional 5% for each of the first three (3) Major Defaults that occur after the Effective Date (for the avoidance of doubt,
each occurrence of any Major Default shall be deemed to be a separate occurrence for purposes of the foregoing reductions in Conversion
Factor, even if the same Major Default occurs three (3) separate times). For example, the first time Borrower is not DWAC Eligible,
the Conversion Factor for future Conversions thereafter will be reduced from 75% to 70% for purposes of this example. Following
such event, the first time the Conversion Shares are no longer DTC Eligible, the Conversion Factor for future Conversions thereafter
will be reduced from 70% to 65% for purposes of this example. If, thereafter, there are three (3) separate occurrences of a Major
Default pursuant to Section 4.1(c), then for purposes of this example the Conversion Factor would be reduced by 5% for the first
such occurrence, and so on for each of the second and third occurrences of such Major Default.

 

A5.
“Default Effect” means multiplying the Outstanding Balance as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred
by (a) 15% for each occurrence of any Major Default, or (b) 5% for each occurrence of any Minor Default, and then adding the resulting
product to the Outstanding Balance as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred, with the sum of the foregoing then
becoming the Outstanding Balance under this Note as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred; provided that the Default
Effect may only be applied three (3) times hereunder with respect to Major Defaults and three (3) times hereunder with respect
to Minor Defaults; and provided further that the Default Effect shall not apply to any Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.1(b)
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Default Effect result in increases to the Outstanding Balance exceeding,
in the aggregate, 25%.

9.2.
Arbitration of Claims. Each party agrees that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Exchange

9.4.
Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Holder may suffer irreparable harm in the event that Company
fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement, any of the other Exchange Documents or any Transaction Document in
accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Holder shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent
or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Exchange Documents or any Transaction Document and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Holder may be
entitled under such Exchange Documents or Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that following
an Event of Default under either of the Exchange Notes, Holder shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from
a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its common or preferred stock to any party unless the Exchange
Notes are being paid in full simultaneously with such issuance. Borrower specifically acknowledges that Holder’s right to
obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable
harm to Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against
Company or specific performance of any provision of any Exchange Document or Transaction Document, such action shall not be a
waiver of any right of Holder under any Exchange Document or Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation
its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Documents or Transaction Documents, nor shall Holder’s
pursuit of an injunction prevent Holder, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar

or plural, as the context may permit or require.

 

9.7.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,

of, this Agreement.

 

9.9.

and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,

substantially all of Company’s assets or other corporate reorganization, Holder shall not unreasonably withhold, condition

by Holder hereunder may be assigned by Holder to a third party, including its financing sources, in whole or in part.

 

9.15.
Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement
or any of the other Exchange Documents, the parties agree that the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled
to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection
with the litigation and/or dispute. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for
frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Exchange Notes are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding,

Notes, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s
creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Exchange Notes; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Holder for
