 Exhibit 4.1 

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS 

OF 
 6.875% SERIES D
CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE 
 PERPETUAL PREFERENCE SHARES 

OF 
 TRITON INTERNATIONAL
LIMITED 
 ****************************** 

Section 1. Number of Shares and Designation. This series of preference
shares shall be designated as the “6.875% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, par value $0.01 per share” (the “Series D Preference Shares”). The Series D Preference Shares shall be perpetual,
subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, and the authorized number of Series D Preference Shares shall be 6,000,000 shares. The number of Series D Preference Shares may be increased from time to time pursuant to the
provisions of Section 12 hereof and any such additional Series D Preference Shares shall form a single series with the Series D Preference Shares. Each Series D Preference Share shall have the same designations, rights,
preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations as every other Series D Preference Share. 
 Section 2. Dividends. 

(a) Dividend Rate. Holders of the Series D Preference Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors
of the Company (the “Board”) or an authorized committee thereof, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 6.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per annum (the
“Dividend Rate”). 
 (b) Dividend Payment Date; Dividend Record Date. The “Dividend Payment
Dates” for the Series D Preference Shares will be the 15th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on March 15, 2020. The period from and including the date
of issuance of the Series D Preference Shares or any Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period.” Dividends will accumulate in each such Dividend Period from and including the
preceding Dividend Payment Date or the initial issue date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the applicable Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period. If any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would
otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Dividend Payment Date to
that next succeeding Business Day. “Business Day” means any day on which The New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and which is not a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banks in New York City or Bermuda are
authorized or required by law to close. Dividends on the Series D Preference Shares will be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends
on the Series D Preference Shares, if declared, will be payable on each Dividend Payment Date to holders of record as they appear in the Company’s stock records for the Series D Preference Shares at the close of business, New York City
time, on the applicable record date, which is the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of dividends in arrears, the record date with respect to a Dividend Payment Date
will be such date as may be designated by the Board. 
 (c) Limiting Documents. No dividends on the Series D Preference Shares shall
be authorized by the Board or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at any time when the payment thereof would be unlawful under the laws of Bermuda, or when the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement
relating to the Company’s indebtedness (the “Limiting Documents ”), prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof
would constitute a breach of the Limiting Documents or a default under the Limiting Documents, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. 

  
 1 

 (d) So long as the Series D Preference Shares are held of record by the nominee of the
Securities Depository (as defined below), declared dividends will be paid to the Securities Depository in same-day funds on each Dividend Payment Date. The Securities Depository will credit accounts of its
participants in accordance with the Securities Depository’s normal procedures. The participants will be responsible for holding or disbursing such payments to beneficial owners of the Series D Preference Shares in accordance with the
instructions of such beneficial owners. 
 (e) Dividends on Junior Securities or Parity Securities. No dividend may be declared
or paid or set apart for payment on any Junior Securities (as defined in Section 7) (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Securities) unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are
being paid or provided for on all outstanding Series D Preference Shares and any Parity Securities (as defined in Section 7) through the most recent respective dividend payment dates. In addition, in the event that any
dividends on the Series D Preference Shares and any Parity Securities are in arrears, the Company may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series D Preference Shares or Parity Securities except pursuant to a purchase
or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of Series D Preference Shares and any Parity Securities. The common shares, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and any other Junior
Securities may not be redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired unless there are no dividends on the Series D Preference Shares and any Parity Securities in arrears. 

(f) Payment of Accrued and Unpaid Dividends. Accumulated dividends in arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared by the
Board and paid on any date fixed by the Board, whether or not a Dividend Payment Date, to holders of the Series D Preference Shares on the record date for such payment, which may not be more than 60 days, nor less than 15 days, before such payment
date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated dividends in arrears on all outstanding Series D Preference Shares and any Parity Securities have not been declared and paid, or sufficient funds for the payment thereof have not been
set apart, payment of accumulated dividends in arrears will be made in order of their respective Dividend Payment Dates, commencing with the earliest. If less than all dividends payable with respect to all Series D Preference Shares and any Parity
Securities are paid, any partial payment will be made pro rata with respect to the Series D Preference Shares and any Parity Securities entitled to a dividend payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate amounts remaining due in respect of
such shares at such time. Holders of the Series D Preference Shares will not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest will be
payable in respect of any dividend payment which may be in arrears on the Series D Preference Shares. 

Section 3. Liquidation Preference. The holders of Series D Preference
Shares shall be entitled, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, to receive the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share in cash plus an amount equal to
accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for payment of such amount (whether or not declared), and no more, before any distribution will be made to the holders of the Common Shares or any other Junior Securities. A consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into any other entity, individually or in a series of transactions, will not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs for this purpose. In the event that the Company’s assets
available for distribution to holders of the Series D Preference Shares and any other Parity Securities are insufficient to permit payment of all required amounts, the Company’s assets then remaining shall be distributed among the Series D
Preference Shares and any Parity Securities, as applicable, ratably on the basis of their relative aggregate liquidation preferences. After payment of all required amounts to the holders of the outstanding Series D Preference Shares and other Parity
Securities, the Company’s remaining assets and funds shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Shares and any other Junior Securities then outstanding according to their respective rights. 

Section 4. Redemption. 

(a) Optional Redemption. On and after March 15, 2025 the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty
(30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, redeem the Series D Preference Shares, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share of Series D Preference
Shares, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. Any such optional redemption shall be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose, whether or not
declared. The Company may undertake multiple redemptions. 

  
 2 

 (b) Optional Redemption Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series D Preference Shares in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control Triggering Event
occurred (the “Change of Control Redemption Period”), by paying the liquidation preference of $25.00 per Series D Preference Share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, whether
or not declared. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined in Section 5), the Company exercises its right to redeem the Series D Preference Shares as described in the immediately preceding sentence or
as described in Section 4(a), holders of the Series D Preference Shares that the Company has elected to redeem will not have the conversion right described in Section 5. 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of either of the following after the original issue date of the Series D
Preference Shares: 
  

	 	•	 	 the direct or indirect lease, sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger,
consolidation or business combination), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)); or 

  

	 	•	 	 the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation or business
combination), the result of which is that any person (as defined above), becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting interests of the Company, measured by voting power rather than percentage of interests.

 “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of a Change of Control that is
accompanied or followed by either a downgrade by one or more gradations (including both gradations within ratings categories and between ratings categories) or a withdrawal of the rating of the Series D Preference Shares within the Ratings Decline
Period (in any combination) by the Named Rating Agency (as defined below) then rating the Series D Preference Shares, as a result of which the rating of the Series D Preference Shares on any day during the Ratings Decline Period is withdrawn or is
below the rating by such Named Rating Agency in effect immediately preceding the first public announcement of the Change of Control (or occurrence thereof if such Change of Control occurs prior to public announcement). 

“Named Rating Agency” means (i) S&P and (ii) if S&P ceases to rate the Series D Preference Shares or
fails to rate the Series D Preference Shares, as the case may be, for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act
selected by us as a replacement agency for S&P. 
 “Ratings Decline Period” means the period that
(i) begins on the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) ends 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control. 

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. 

(c) Redemption Procedures. 

(i) Notice of redemption will be mailed at least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before the scheduled redemption
date to each holder of record of Series D Preference Shares at the address shown on the share transfer books of the Company maintained by the registrar and transfer agent for the Series D Preference Shares (the “Registrar and Transfer
Agent”). Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of Series D Preference Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all outstanding Series D Preference Shares are to be redeemed, the number (and
the identification) of shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price of $25.00 per Series D Preference Share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding the date of redemption; (iv) the place where the
Series D Preference Shares are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the redemption price therefor; and (v) that dividends on the Series D Preference Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue from and after such
redemption date. If fewer than all of the outstanding Series D Preference Shares are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by the Company, and such shares will be redeemed by such method of selection as the
Securities Depository shall determine, pro rata or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional shares. So long as all Series D Preference Shares are held of record by the nominee of the Securities Depository, the Company will give
notice, or cause notice to be given, to the Securities 

  
 3 

 
Depository of the number of Series D Preference Shares to be redeemed, and the Securities Depository will determine the number of Series D Preference Shares to be redeemed from the account of
each of its participants holding such shares in its participant account. Thereafter, each participant will select the number of shares to be redeemed from each beneficial owner for whom it acts (including the participant, to the extent it holds
Series D Preference Shares for its own account). A participant may determine to redeem Series D Preference Shares from some beneficial owners (including the participant itself) without redeeming Series D Preference Shares from the accounts of other
beneficial owners. 
 (ii) So long as the Series D Preference Shares are held of record by the nominee of the Securities Depository, the
redemption price will be paid by the Paying Agent (as defined below) to the Securities Depository on the redemption date. The normal procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as the initial Securities Depository,
provide for it to distribute the amount of the redemption price in same-day funds to its participants who, in turn, are expected to distribute such funds to the persons for whom they are acting as agent. 

(iii) If the Company gives or causes to be given a notice of redemption, then the Company shall deposit with the paying agent for the
Series D Preference Shares (the “Paying Agent”) funds sufficient to redeem the Series D Preference Shares as to which notice has been given by the close of business, New York City time, no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption, and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holder or holders thereof upon surrender or deemed surrender (which will occur
automatically if the certificate representing such shares is issued in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee) of the certificates therefor. If notice of redemption shall have been given, unless the Company defaults in providing funds
sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the notice, then from and after the date fixed for redemption, all dividends on such shares will cease to accumulate and all rights of holders of such shares as
the Company’s shareholders will cease, except the right to receive the redemption price, including an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends through the date fixed for redemption, whether or not declared. The Company shall be entitled
to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed), and the holders of
any shares so redeemed will have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason, including, but not limited to, redemption of Series D Preference Shares, that remain unclaimed
or unpaid after two years after the applicable redemption date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the holders of the Series D Preference Shares
entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Company. 
 (iv) If only a portion of the Series D Preference
Shares represented by a certificate has been called for redemption, upon surrender of the certificate to the Paying Agent (which will occur automatically if the certificate representing such shares is registered in the name of the Securities
Depository or its nominee), the Paying Agent shall issue to the holder of such shares a new certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series D Preference Shares represented by the surrendered certificate
that have not been called for redemption. 
 (v) Notwithstanding any notice of redemption, there shall be no redemption of any Series D
Preference Shares called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full redemption price of such shares, including all accumulated and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption, whether or not declared, have been deposited by the Company
with the Paying Agent. 
 (vi) Each of the Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent shall be selected by the Company in its sole
discretion. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. shall act as Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. 
 Section 5.
Limited Conversion Rights Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 (a) Change of Control Conversion Right. Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each holder of Series D Preference Shares will have the right (unless the Company has provided notice of its election to redeem Series D Preference Shares as described in
Section 4) to convert some or all of the Series D Preference Shares held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of Common Shares per Series D Preference Share to be converted equal to (the
“Common Share Conversion Consideration”) the lesser of: 

  
 4 

	 	•	 	 the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any
accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a Series D Preference Share dividend payment and prior to the corresponding
Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accumulated and unpaid dividend will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Share Price (as defined below), and 

 

	 	•	 	 1.26968 (which is the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the $25.00 liquidation preference by (ii) one-half of the closing price of the common shares on the NYSE on the trading day immediately preceding January 16, 2020, which was $39.38), 

subject, in each case, to certain adjustments and to provisions for (i) the payment of any Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined below) and
(ii) splits, combinations and dividends in the form of equity issuances. 
 (b) Conversion Consideration. In the case of a Change
of Control pursuant to which the Common Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof), a holder of Series D Preference Shares electing to exercise its Change of Control Conversion
Right (as defined below) will receive upon conversion of such Series D Preference Shares elected by such holder the kind and amount of such consideration that such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had
such holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the Common Share Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control (the “Alternative Conversion
Consideration”); provided, however, that if the holders of the Common Shares have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Change of Control, the consideration that the holders of
Series D Preference Shares electing to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of the Common Shares who participate in the determination
(based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of the Common Shares are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in
the Change of Control. The Company will not issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of the Series D Preference Shares and, instead, will pay the cash value of such fractional shares. 

If the Company provides a redemption notice pursuant to Section 4, holders of Series D Preference Shares will not
have any right to convert the Series D Preference Shares that the Company has elected to redeem and any Series D Preference Shares subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Change of Control
Conversion Right will be redeemed on the related redemption date instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date. 
 Within
five days following the expiration of the Change of Control Redemption Period (or, if the Company waives its right to redeem the Series D Preference Shares prior to the expiration of the Change of Control Redemption Period, within five days
following the date of such waiver), the Company will provide to the holders of the Series D Preference Shares written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) of the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event that describes
the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right. The Conversion Notice will state the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 the events constituting the Change of Control Triggering Event; 

 

	 	•	 	 the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event; 

 

	 	•	 	 the date on which the Change of Control Redemption Period expired or was waived; 

 

	 	•	 	 the last date on which the holders of Series D Preference Shares may exercise their Change of Control Conversion
Right; 

  

	 	•	 	 the method and period for calculating the Common Share Price; 

 

	 	•	 	 the Change of Control Conversion Date; 

 

	 	•	 	 if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per Series D
Preference Share; and 

  

	 	•	 	 the procedure that the holders of Series D Preference Shares must follow to exercise the Change of Control
Conversion Right. 

 The Company will issue a press release for publication through a news or press organization as is reasonably expected
to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public, or post notice on its website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Company provides the Conversion Notice to the
holders of Series D Preference Shares. 

  
 5 

 Holders of Series D Preference Shares that choose to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right will
be required prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Conversion Date, to notify the Company of the number of Series D Preference Shares to be converted and otherwise to comply with any applicable
procedures contained in the Conversion Notice or otherwise required by the Securities Depository for effecting the conversion. 

“Change of Control Conversion Right” means the right of a holder of Series D Preference Shares to convert some or all
of the Series D Preference Shares held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of Common Shares per Series D Preference Share pursuant to the conversion provisions in this Section 5 with
respect to the Series D Preference Shares. 
 “Change of Control Conversion Date” means the date fixed by the Board,
in its sole discretion, as the date the Series D Preference Shares are to be converted, which will be a Business Day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which the Company provides the Conversion Notice to holders of
the Series D Preference Shares. 
 “Common Share Price” means (i) the amount of cash consideration per Common
Share, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of the Common Shares is solely cash; and (ii) the average of the closing prices for the Common Shares on the NYSE for the ten consecutive trading days
immediately preceding, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of the Common Shares is other than solely cash. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Series D Preference Shares will not have a conversion right upon a Change of Control if
(i) the acquiror has shares listed or quoted on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, and (ii) the Series D Preference
Shares remain continuously listed or quoted on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ. 

Section 6. Status of Acquired Shares. All Series D Preferred Shares
redeemed and cancelled by the Company in accordance with Section 4 hereof, or otherwise acquired by the Company, shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of undesignated preference shares of the
Company. 
 Section 7. Ranking. The Series D Preference Shares will,
with respect to anticipated quarterly dividends and distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company’s affairs, rank: (i) senior to the Company’s Common Shares and
to each other class or series of capital stock established after the original issue date of the Series D Preference Shares that is not expressly made senior to, or on parity with, the Series D Preference Shares as to the payment of dividends and
amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary (“Junior Securities”); (ii) equal to the “8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, par value $0.01
per share” (the “Series A Preference Shares”), the “8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, par value $0.01 per share” (the “Series B Preference Shares”), the “7.375% Series C
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, par value $0.01 per share” (the “Series C Preference Shares”) and any other class or series of capital stock established after the original issue date of the Series D Preference
Shares that is expressly made equal to the Series D Preference Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary (“Parity Securities”); and
(iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock established after the original issue date of the Series D Preference Shares that is expressly made senior to the Series D Preference Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary (“Senior Securities”). 
 The Company
may issue Junior Securities from time to time in one or more series without the consent of the holders of the Series D Preference Shares. The Company may also issue Parity Securities from time to time in one or more series as long as the cumulative
dividends on the Series D Preference Shares are not in arrears. The Company’s ability to issue Senior Securities shall be limited as described in Section 8 hereof. 

Section 8. Voting Rights. The Series D Preference Shares shall have no voting
rights, except as provided in this Section 8 and as otherwise provided by Bermuda law. 

  
 6 

 (a) In the event that dividends, payable on the Series D Preference Shares are in
arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of the Series D Preference Shares, (voting together as a class with Series A Preference Shares, Series B Preference Shares, Series C Preference Shares and all other
classes or series of Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) shall be entitled to elect two additional directors to serve on the Board, and the size of the Board will be increased as needed to
accommodate such change (unless the size of the Board has already been increased by reason of the election of directors by holders of Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and with which the Series D Preference Shares
voted as a class for the election of such director). Dividends payable on the Series D Preference Shares will be considered to be in arrears for any quarterly period for which full cumulative dividends through the most recent Dividend Payment Date
have not been paid on all outstanding Series D Preference Shares. The right of such holders of Series D Preference Shares to elect a member of the Board shall continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears on
the Series D Preference Shares, at which time such right shall terminate, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent failure to pay six quarterly dividends as described above. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of
the Series D Preference Shares and any other Parity Securities to vote as a class for such directors, the term of office of such directors then in office elected by such holders voting as a class shall terminate immediately. Any directors elected by
the holders of the Series D Preference Shares and any other Parity Securities shall each be entitled to one vote on any matter before the Board. 

(b) Subject to the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, none of the special rights attached to the Series D Preference Shares may be
altered or abrogated by any amendment to the Company’s bye-laws (the “Bye-laws”) or this Certificate of Designations without (i) the consent
in writing of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding Series D Preference Shares, voting as a single class or (ii) the sanction of a resolution passed by the holders of not less than seventy-five
percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding Series D Preference Shares, voting as a single class, at a separate general meeting of the holders of Series D Preference Shares voting in person or by proxy. To any such separate general meeting, all the
provisions of the Bye-Laws as to general meetings of the Company shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be two (2) or more persons holding or representing by proxy the
majority of the Series D Preference Shares, that every holder of Series D Preference Shares shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by such holder and that any holder of Series D Preference Shares present in person or by
proxy may demand a poll; provided, however, that if the Series D Preference Shares shall have only one shareholder, such shareholder present in person or by proxy shall constitute the necessary quorum. 

(c) In addition, unless the Company has received the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding Series D Preference Shares, voting as a class together with holders of the Series A Preference Shares, the Series B Preference Shares, the Series C Preference Shares and any other
Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Company may not (i) issue any Parity Securities if the cumulative dividends payable on outstanding Series D Preference Shares are in arrears or
(ii) create or issue any Senior Securities. 
 (d) On any matter described above in which the holders of the Series D Preference Shares
are entitled to vote as a class, such holders will be entitled to one vote per share. The Series D Preference Shares held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates will not be entitled to vote. Series D Preference Shares held in
nominee or street name account will be voted by the broker or other nominee in accordance with the instruction of the beneficial owner unless the arrangement between the beneficial owner and his nominee provides otherwise. 

Section 9. Record Holders. The Company and the Transfer Agent shall deem
and treat the record holder of any Series D Preference Shares as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Registrar and Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

Section 10. Sinking Fund. The Series D Preference Shares shall not be
entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. 
 Section 11. Preemptive
Rights. No holders of Series D Preference Shares will, as holders of Series D Preference Shares, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for the Common Shares or any of the Company’s other securities. 

  
 7 

 Section 12. Amendment of
Resolution. The Board reserves the right from time to time to increase (but not in excess of the total number of authorized shares of preference shares) or decrease (but not below the number of Series D Preference Shares then
outstanding) the number of authorized Series D Preference Shares by further resolution adopted by the Board stating that such increase or decrease, as the case may be, has been so authorized and in other respects to amend this Certificate of
Designations within the limitations provided by law and the Bye-Laws. 
 Section 13. Book
Entry. 
 (a) Global Certificates. The Series D Preference Shares shall be initially in the form of one or more fully
registered global certificates (“Global Preferred Shares”) issued to DTC (and its successors and assigns or with such other depositary of the Company’s choosing that is a “clearing Company” within the meaning
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a clearing agency under Section 17A of the Exchange Act (the “Securities Depository”)) and registered in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee (which initially
shall be Cede & Co, as nominee of DTC), duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Registrar and Transfer Agent, and deposited with the Registrar and Transfer Agent, as custodian for DTC (or such other custodian as the Securities
Depository may direct). The Series D Preference Shares shall continue to be represented by Global Preferred Shares registered in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee, and no beneficial holder of the Series D Preference Shares will be
entitled to receive a certificate evidencing such shares unless otherwise required by law or the Securities Depository gives notice to the Company of its intention to resign or is no longer eligible to act as Securities Depository and the Company
has not selected a substitute Securities Depository within 60 days thereafter. The number of Series D Preference Shares represented by Global Preferred Shares may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Registrar and Transfer Agent and the Securities Depository as hereinafter provided. Members of, or participants in, the Securities Depository (“Agent Members ”) shall have no rights under these terms of the Series D Preferred
Shares with respect to any Global Preferred Shares held on their behalf by the Securities Depository or by the Registrar and Transfer Agent as the custodian of the Securities Depository or under such Global Preferred Shares, and the Securities
Depository may be treated by the Company, the Registrar and Transfer Agent and any agent of the Company or the Registrar and Transfer Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Preferred Shares for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Registrar and Transfer Agent or any agent of the Company or the Registrar and Transfer Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Securities Depository or impair, as between the Securities Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Securities Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global
Preferred Shares.

A.             
Borrower previously sold and issued to Lender that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated March 26, 2019 in the
original principal amount of $1,070,000.00 (the “Original Note”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement dated March 26, 2019 by and between Lender and Borrower (the “Purchase Agreement”, and together with
the Original Note and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the “Transaction Documents”).

 

B.             
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower and Lender desire to partition a new Secured Convertible Promissory Note
in the form of the Original Note (the “Partitioned Note”) in the original principal amount of $140,000.00 (the
“Exchange Amount”) from the Original Note and then cause the outstanding balance of the Original Note to be
reduced by an amount equal to the Exchange Amount, which represents the total outstanding balance of the Partitioned Note.

 

C.             
Borrower and Lender further desire to exchange (such exchange is referred to as the “Note Exchange”)
the Partitioned Note for the delivery of 186,666 shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common
Stock,” and such 186,666 shares of Common Stock, the “Exchange Shares”), according to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

 

D.             
The Note Exchange will consist of Lender surrendering the Partitioned Note in exchange for the Exchange Shares, which will
be issued free of any restrictive securities legend pursuant to Rule 144. Other than the surrender of the Partitioned Note, no
consideration of any kind whatsoever shall be given by Lender to Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

 

E.              
Lender and Borrower now desire to exchange the Partitioned Note for the Exchange Shares on the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.              
Recitals and Definitions. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in
this Agreement are true and accurate, are contractual in nature, and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

 

2.              
Partition. Effective as of the date hereof, Borrower and Lender agree that the Partitioned Note is hereby partitioned
from the Original Note. Following such partition of the Original Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the Original Note shall remain
in full force and effect, provided that the outstanding balance of the Original Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
Exchange Amount.

 

     

     

    

 

3.              
Issuance of Shares. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Exchange Shares shall be delivered
to Lender on or before January 20, 2020 and the Note Exchange shall occur with Lender surrendering the Partitioned Note to Borrower
on the Free Trading Date (as defined below). On the Free Trading Date, the Partitioned Note shall be cancelled and all obligations
of Borrower under the Partitioned Note shall be deemed fulfilled. All Exchange Shares delivered hereunder shall be delivered via
DWAC to Lender’s designated brokerage account. Subject to the securities laws and regulations, Borrower agrees to provide
all necessary cooperation or assistance that may be required to cause all Exchange Shares delivered hereunder to become Free Trading
(the first date such occurs, the “Free Trading Date”). For purposes hereof, the term “Free Trading”
means that (a) the Exchange Shares have been cleared and approved for public resale by the compliance departments of Lender’s
brokerage firm and the clearing firm servicing such brokerage, and (b) such shares are held in the name of the clearing firm servicing
Lender’s brokerage firm and have been deposited into such clearing firm’s account for the benefit of Lender.

 

4.              
Closing. The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) along with the delivery
of the Exchange Shares to Lender shall occur on the date that is mutually agreed to by Borrower and Lender by means of the exchange
by email of .pdf documents, but shall be deemed to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi,
Utah.

 

5.              
Holding Period, Tacking and Legal Opinion. Lender and Borrower represents, warrants and agrees that for the purposes
of Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
the holding period of the Partitioned Note and the Exchange Shares will include Lender’s holding period of the Original Note
from March 26, 2019, which date is the date that the Original Note was originally issued. Borrower agrees not to take a position
contrary to this Section 5 in any document, statement, setting, or situation. Borrower agrees to take all action necessary to issue
the Exchange Shares without restriction, and not containing any restrictive legend without the need for any action by Lender; provided
that the applicable holding period has been met. In furtherance thereof, prior to the Closing, counsel to Lender may, in its sole
discretion, provide an opinion that: (a) the Exchange Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions; and (b) the transactions contemplated hereby and all other documents associated with this transaction comport with
the requirements of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Borrower represents that it is in full compliance with the tests and
standards set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) as of the date of this Agreement. The Exchange Shares are being issued in substitution of
and exchange for and not in satisfaction of the Partitioned Note. The Exchange Shares shall not constitute a novation or satisfaction
and accord of the Partitioned Note. Borrower acknowledges and understands that the representations and agreements of Borrower in
this Section 5 are a material inducement to Lender’s decision to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

 

     

     

    

 

6.               Representations,
Warranties and Agreements of Borrower. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrower, for itself, and
for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows: (a) Borrower has
full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained

registration with or notice to any governmental authority is required as a condition to the validity of this Agreement or
the performance of any of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, (c) except as specifically set forth herein, nothing herein
shall in any manner release, lessen, modify or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Original Note, (d) the
issuance of the Exchange Shares is duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Exchange Shares are validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions,
obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature and description, (e) Borrower has not received any
consideration in any form whatsoever for entering into this Agreement, other than the surrender of the Partitioned Note, and
(f) Borrower has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for a brokerage commission, placement agent
or finder’s fee or other similar payment by Borrower related to this Agreement.

 

7.              
Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Lender. In order to induce Borrower to enter into this Agreement, Lender,

herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action, and (b) no consent, approval, filing or registration

Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning
the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement 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
jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions 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. BORROWER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE
HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

10.           
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing
parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. The exchange
of copies of this

Agreement
and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (including email) shall constitute effective
execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes.
Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (including email) shall be deemed
to be their original signatures for all purposes.

 

     

     

    

 

11.

terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party 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 arbitration, litigation and/or dispute without reduction
or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict
or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

 

12.           
No Reliance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that neither the other party nor any of such other party’s
officers, directors, members, managers, equity holders, representatives or agents has made any representations or warranties to
the party or any of its agents, representatives, officers, directors, or employees except as expressly set forth in this Agreement
and the Transaction Documents and, in making its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the party
is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or promise of the other party or such other party’s officers, directors,
members, managers, equity holders, agents or representatives other than as set forth in this Agreement.

 

13.           
Severability. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified
to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.

 

14.           
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Documents, and all other documents referred to herein,
supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Borrower, Lender, its affiliates and persons acting on its behalf
with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein,
neither Lender nor Borrower makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

 

15.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed
by Lender hereunder may be assigned by Lender to a third party, including its financing sources, in whole or in part. Neither party
shall assign this Agreement or any of its obligations herein without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

     

     

    

 

17.           
Continuing Enforceability; Conflict Between Documents. Except as otherwise modified by this Agreement, the Original
Note and each of the other Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with all of its
original terms and provisions. This Agreement shall not be effective or binding unless and until it is fully executed and delivered
by Lender and Borrower. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Original Note or
any other Transaction Document, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

18.           
Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement.

 

19.
