Date. This Note shall mature 1 year from date of issuance (which shall be the Closing Date) (the “Maturity Date”).

a Conversion Notice to the Company in accordance with Section 3, below, elect to be paid in cash all unpaid accrued interest of this Note
through the Conversion Date and convert the unpaid principal of the Note into shares of CHC Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.
Upon Maturity, the holder may (i) demand payment of the entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest under this
Note (a “Payment Demand”) or (ii) continue to hold this Note, in which case this Note shall thereafter accrue interest
at the rate of 10% per annum compounded annually, until such time as (x) Holder makes a Payment Demand and the Note is repaid in full;
or (y) this Note is converted in full pursuant to Section 3.

 

(b) Interest.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount shall accrue at the rate of 5% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365 day year for the
actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue on the outstanding principal balance hereof
until paid in full.

 

(c) Payments.

 

(i) Following
the Maturity Date, the Company shall give the Holder written notice at least 15 days prior to any repayment of this Note so that Holder
may elect to convert the Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to any such repayment.

 

     

     

    

 

(ii) All
payments of principal and interest shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be payable at the office of the
Holder listed on the Company’s records, unless another place of payment shall be specified in writing by the Holder. All payments
shall be applied first to any fees or expenses due to the Holder then to accrued interest, including any interest that accrues after the

balance hereof. If any payments on this Note become due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of Nevada,

with such payment.

 

(d) Prepayment.

(e) Waiver.
The Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.

 

3. Conversion.

 

(a) 

 

(i) After
6 Months but Prior to the Maturity Date. Within 3 business days of the receipt by the Company
from the Holder of a written notice to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 3 given at any time that is more than 6 months after
the date hereof but prior to one (1) year after the date of issuance of this note (a “Conversion Notice”), (A) the
Company shall pay to the Holder any accrued and unpaid interest through the date on which such Conversion Notice is given (the “Conversion
Date”), and (B) the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to convert the entire outstanding principal balance hereof into
a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “CHC Common Stock”) equal to (x)
the outstanding principal balance hereof, divided by $2.35 (the “Conversion Price”); 

 

(ii) After
the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, if the Holder desires to convert this Note, he shall
follow the procedures set forth under 3(a)(i) above except that the Conversion Price shall be the the closing price of the Company’s

(b) Conversion
Procedures. Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) or Section 3(a)(ii), this Note shall be converted automatically
without any further action by the Holder and whether or not this Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.

 

(c) Fractional
Equity. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. All shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
principal amount of this Note shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any
fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share, the
Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, either pay the Holder who is otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash
equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of the Company) or
issue a full share in lieu of such fractional share.

 

(d) Adjustment
of Conversion Price. If the Company subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding
shares of CHC Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will
be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares
of CHC Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination.

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the forgoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Adoption
of Recitals. The Company and Executive hereto adopt the above recitals as being true and correct.

 

2. Employment;
Term of Employment.

 

(a) Employment.
The Company shall employ the Executive, and the Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment on the terms and conditions set forth
herein, commencing at the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). The commencement of the employment term and the Effective
Date are expressly subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement set forth therein, subject to
extension by the parties thereto as provided by or permitted in such Merger Agreement. In the event that the Closing is not effected,
this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(b) Term
of Employment. The term of Executive’s employment shall begin on the Closing Date and shall continue for a period of three (3)
years (the “Initial Term”), subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 6. At the end of the Initial Term, this
Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional one year, and continue to renew each year unless, either the Company or the Executive
provides written notice of non-renewal to the other Party not later than thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the then-current term.
The period during which Executive remains an employee of the Company may be referred to herein as the (“Employment Period”).

and Duties. 

 

(a) During
the Employment Period, the Executive shall (i) serve the Company in the capacity of Chief Research Officer and report directly to the
CEO, and (ii) have such duties, responsibilities and authorities consistent with his position and as the Company’s CEO may from
time to time confer and direct (collectively, the “Duties”).

 

(b) The
Executive shall devote his full business time, effort and energy to the affairs of the Company and the discharge of the Duties. Due to
the nature of his position, Executive agrees that he will work those hours reasonably necessary to complete his duties hereunder, even
if such duties require him to work outside of normal business hours. Executive agrees that in the performance of such duties and in all
aspects of employment, Executive will comply with the policies, standards, work rules, strategies and regulations established from time

travel.

consultant, stockholder, volunteer, lender, or agent of any business enterprise of the same nature as, or which is in direct competition
with, the business in which Company is now engaged or in which Company becomes engaged during the term of Executive’s employment
with Company, as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will be permitted to purchase
or own less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation; provided that, such ownership represents a passive
investment and that the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation.

provided, however, that the Company may reduce the Executive’s annual Base Salary, no more than one time in any 12 month period
by ten percent (10%), upon thirty-days prior written notice, without the prior consent of the Executive if such reduction is implemented
in connection with a contemporaneous and substantially similar (or greater) reduction in annual base salaries affecting all executives
of the Company with responsibilities substantially similar to the Executive (a “Global Salary Reduction”).

 

(b) Expenses.
The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in the course of performing the Duties, to the extent
consistent with the policies established by the Company from time to time with respect to travel and other business expenses, subject
to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. The Executive’s right to reimbursement

any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (ii) the
Company shall reimburse the Executive for all such expenses within thirty (30) days upon presentation by the Executive, from time to time,

Company’s stockholders, as the Compensation Committee of the Corporation may from time to time determine and Executive shall be
granted and receive Share Awards at such times and levels consistent with, Share Awards granted to other senior level executives of the

to Executive under this Agreement.

 

7. Condition

payment, which shall be retroactive to the date immediately following the date of termination, will be made on the first regularly scheduled
payroll date that follows the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date of termination.

 

8. Section
409A. It is intended that the payments provided for under this Agreement be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) (including as “short-term deferrals” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)) to the maximum permissible extent. To the extent that any payments under this
Agreement are not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, then all such payments are intended to comply with Section 409A, including
the requirements applicable to payments paid on a “fixed schedule” within the meaning of Section 409A, and this Agreement
shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Executive shall not have the right to designate the taxable year of
any payment under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, to the extent that any payment to be made
to the Executive, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of and subject to Section 409A, such payment shall not be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months
and one day after the Executive’s separation from service with the Company and affiliate or subsidiary of the Company and (ii) the
Executive’s death; except to the extent of (A) payments that do not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of
Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii),
as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (B) benefits which qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant
to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (C) other amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A.
The terms of the previous sentence shall apply only if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section
409A) on the date of such separation from service, and shall only apply to the extent the delay of such payment is necessary to prevent
such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Each payment made under
this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be
treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall the Company have any liability relating to the failure or alleged
failure of any payment or benefit under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A.

9. Ownership
of Works.

 

(a) Assignment
of Inventions. Executive agrees that Executive will promptly and fully disclose to the Company, and the Company agrees to keep confidential,
all inventions, designs, creations, processes, technical or other developments, improvements, ideas, concepts and discoveries (collectively,
“Inventions”), whether patentable or not, and all copyrightable works of any type or medium (“Works”),
of which Executive has obtained or obtains knowledge or information during the Executive’s employment with the Company and which
relate to any research or experimental, developmental or creative work carried on or contemplated by the Company or the products or services.
All Inventions and Works are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. Executive agrees that Executive will assign, and
hereby does assign, to the Company or its designee, all of Executive’s right, title and interest in and to all Inventions (whether
patentable or not) and all Works, conceived, originated, made, developed or reduced to practice by Executive, alone or with others, during
Executive’s employment by the Company (on or after the date of this Agreement). All Works are and shall be deemed to be “works
for hire” under 17 U.S.C. §101 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 and all other applicable laws and regulations.

 

(b) During
Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year after any termination for any reason of such employment,
Executive agrees to assist the Company to obtain any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks and service marks relating to Inventions
and Works and to execute all documents and do all things necessary to obtain letters patent and copyright, trademark and service mark
registrations therefor, to vest the Company or its designee with full and exclusive title thereto, and to protect the same against infringement
by others, all as and to the extent that the Company may reasonably request and at the Company’s expense, for no consideration to
the Executive other than the Executive’s compensation, if any, under this Agreement.

 

(c) Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9 to the contrary, this Section 9, shall not apply to an Invention or Work developed entirely
on Executive’s own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for
those Inventions and Works that either (a) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the Invention or Work to the Company’s
business or to demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or (b) result from any work performed by Executive for
the Company. Executive acknowledges that the preceding sentence constitutes the notification required by California Labor Code Section
2872. Executive has listed on Attachment A to this Agreement, which the Company agrees to keep confidential, all unpatented Inventions
owned, conceived, originated, made, developed or reduced to practice by Executive (whether before or during Executive’s employment
with the Company) qualifying for the exception in the first sentence of this paragraph.

flash drives, smartphones, cellular phones, iPads and other devices upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason

or not any of these items or materials contain Confidential Information or trade secrets. The parties hereto shall comply with all applicable
laws and regulations regarding retention of and access to this Agreement and all books, documents and records in connection therewith.
The Executive shall provide the Company with a signed certificate evidencing that all such property has been returned, and that no such
property or Confidential Information or trade secret has been retained by the Executive in any form.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but

on the Executive’s life and/or health in such amounts and in such form as the Company may in its sole discretion decide. Except

foregoing courts in such matters and irrevocably waives any objection such Party may otherwise have against such jurisdiction.
