amount of ___________________________ ($_____________.00 USD) together with interest thereon calculated from the Issuance
Date (“Interest Commencement Date”) in accordance with the provisions of this Promissory Note (as amended, modified
and supplemented from time to time, this “Note” and together with any other Notes issued in the Note Issuance
(as defined below) or upon transfer or exchange, the “Notes”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Note shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof.

 

Certain capitalized terms are defined in
Section 9 hereof.

 

1. Payment of Interest.
Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to fourteen percent (13%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) beginning
on the Interest Commencement Date on the unpaid principal amount of this Note and shall be payable upon the nine month anniversary
of the Interest Commencement Date in cash; provided that so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the interest rate shall increase one percent (1%) above the current interest rate, and will continue to increase one percent (1%)
above the then effective interest rate after every 30-day period thereafter in which the Company remains in default of its obligation
to pay principal and interest, provided however, that the interest rate shall not exceed exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.
In any such event, the Note shall automatically be deemed amended to permit interest charges at an amount equal to, but not greater
than, the maximum rate permitted by law. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day
year.

 

2. Maturity Date.
The entire principal amount of this Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full in cash in
immediately available funds nine months from the date of issuance (such date, the “Maturity Date”) upon the
tender of such Note by Payee.

 

3. [Reserved]

 

4. Prepayment.
The principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, after at any time from the date of issuance at the option
of the Company, together with Interest accrued to the date of prepayment. Any such prepayment shall be made pro rata based on such
Payee’s share of the aggregate principal amount then owed by the Company to all of the Payees under all the Notes. In the
event the Company chooses to prepay the Note in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will provide the holder with thirty
days written notice of its intention to do so (the “Prepayment Notice”).

 

5. [Reserved.]

 

6. Method of Payments.

 

(i)  Payment.
So long as the Payee or any of its nominees shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in
this Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums for principal, interest, or otherwise becoming due on this Note held by
the Payee or such nominee not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, on the date such payment is due, in immediately available funds,
in accordance with the payment instructions that the Payee may designate in writing, without the presentation or surrender of such
Note or the making of any notation thereon. Any payment made after 1:00 p.m. New York time, on a Business Day will be deemed made
on the next following Business Day. If the due date of any payment in respect of this Note would otherwise fall on a day that is
not a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable on any principal
so extended for the period of such extension. All amounts payable under this Note shall be paid free and clear of, and without
reduction by reason of, any deduction, set-off or counterclaim. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section to the Payee
and to each other Person holding this Note.

 

     

     

    

 

(ii)  Transfer
and Exchange. Upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company, in accordance with the
terms hereof, at its principal office, the Company at its sole expense will execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note
or Notes, as the case may be, as requested by the holder or transferee, which aggregate principal amount is equal the unpaid principal
amount of such Note, registered as such holder or transferee may request, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on the
Note and otherwise of like tenor; provided that this Note may not be transferred by Payee to any Person other than Payee’s
affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The
issuance of new Notes shall be made without charge to the holder(s) of the surrendered Note for any issuance tax in respect thereof
or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, provided that each Noteholder shall pay any transfer taxes
associated therewith. The Company shall be entitled to regard the registered holder of this Note as the holder of the Note so registered
for all purposes until the Company or its agent, as applicable, is required to record a transfer of this Note on its register.

 

(iii)  Replacement.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and,
in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company, at its expense, will execute
and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of like tenor and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
