In the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of death.

 

3.1.2       Disability.
In the event of Executive’s Disability (as hereinafter defined), Employer shall have the option to terminate Executive’s
employment by giving a notice of termination to Executive. The notice of termination shall specify the date of termination which
date shall not be earlier than 30 days after the notice of termination is given. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability”
shall mean a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity of Executive and which renders Executive
unable to perform the essential functions of his position, even with reasonable accommodation which does not impose an undue hardship
on Employer, which condition continues for more than 90 consecutive days or more than 120 days out of 365 consecutive days. The
Employer shall have the right in good faith, to make the determination of Disability under this Agreement based upon medical reports
supplied by Executive’s medical personnel, as well as, information from medical personnel reasonably selected by Employer.

 

3.1.3       Termination
by Employer for Cause. Employer may, at its option and at any time, terminate Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined
below). Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of Executive’s receipt of the notice of termination. As
used in this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (a) Executive’s conviction of, guilty or “no contest”
plea to, or confession of guilt of a felony, (b) a willful act by Executive which constitutes gross misconduct and which is materially
injurious to Employer, including, but not limited to Executive’s conviction of, guilty or “no contest” plea to,
or confession of guilt of theft, fraud, embezzlement or other similar illegal conduct, or (c) refusal or unwillingness to perform
his duties hereunder in any material respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Cause” shall not exist under this section
until Executive has received a minimum of two (2) prior written notices of the grounds for the proposed termination from the Employer
or other designated supervisor and thirty (30) days have lapsed following the second such written notice without Employee curing
such grounds. Section 3.1.3(c) shall not be considered termination for Cause in the event that performance of Executive’s
duties would require the commission of an unlawful act, Executive informs Employer’s Board of Directors in writing of the
alleged illegality, and Executive provides Employer a reasonable opportunity to consult with legal counsel and cure the alleged
illegality.

 

3.1.4       Termination
by Employer Without Cause. Employer may, at its option, terminate Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever (other
than for the reasons set forth above in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.3) by giving written notice of termination to Executive, and
Executive’s employment shall terminate on the later of (a) the date the notice of termination is given or (b) the date set
forth in such notice of termination.

 

3.1.5        Termination
by Executive for Material Breach by Employer. Executive may, at his option, terminate Executive’s employment upon Employer’s
“Material Breach” of this Agreement by giving Employer written notice of such breach (which notice shall identify the
manner in which Employer has materially breached this Agreement) and, if such breach is not cured within 30 days of Employer’s
receiving such written notice, Executive’s employment shall terminate at the end of such 30-day period. Employer’s
“Material Breach” of this Agreement shall mean (a) the failure of Employer to pay or provide the Base Salary, Stock
Grant, Coin Grant, Acquisition Referral or any other form of compensation, including benefits, in accordance with this Agreement,
( (b) the assignment to Executive, without Executive’s consent, of duties substantially inconsistent with his duties, as
set forth in Section 1.2 hereof, (c) the relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment to a geographic location
further than 30 miles from 2 Park Plaza, Suite 400, Irvine, California, 92614, and (e) for any reason following a Change in Control
after the Effective Date, in each case without cure by Employer within 30 days of Executive’s notice of such alleged Material
Breach to the Chief Executive Officer.

 

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

For all purposes under this Agreement, “Change
in Control” shall mean:

 

(a)       Except
as provided by subsection (b) hereof, the acquisition by any person, entity or “group” within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended (the “Exchange Act”) of beneficial ownership

in the election of directors of Employer or such other entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

 

(ii)       a
merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of Employer or similar transaction in which no person, entity
or group acquires beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the securities entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors of Employer outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation.

 

3.1.6       Termination
by Executive Without Material Breach by Employer. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever

pursuant to Section 3.1.6 hereof (“Termination by Executive Without Material Breach by Employer”) or by Employer pursuant
to Section 3.1.4 hereof (“Termination by Employer Without Cause”), Executive shall be entitled to convert and maintain,
at all times, the highest rank (currently “Platinum President”) as an independent member in GX-Life Global, Inc.’s
direct selling membership program, however that position is presently titled or in the future retitled in the GX-Life Global Compensation
Plan, the GX-Life Global Policies and Procedures, the GX-Life Global Membership Agreement, and/or any successor to or replacement
of the foregoing, without qualification. Following said conversion, in order to be compensated at a Platinum President rank, Executive
must fulfill the requirements of the Bronze Advisor rank (or similar requirements to however this rank is retiled in the future)
as set forth in the GX-Life Global Compensation Plan, the GX-Life Global Policies and Procedures, and/or the GX-Life Global Membership
Agreement. Executive’s position as an independent member in the GX-Life Global, Inc. direct selling membership program (a)
shall be freely transferable and (b) shall not be subject to revocation, termination, suspension, or modification. Members in Executive’s
downline shall consist only of:

 

3.4.1       Those
members for whom Executive was in any manner a procuring cause, other than those members for whom Michael Dunn or Ning Liu was
the primary procuring cause; and

 

3.4.2       Members
and customers in the downlines of the members included under Section 3.4.1.

 

In no event will Executive be deemed to be the primary procuring
cause of GX-Life Global members that were recruited into the membership program by Michael Dunn or Ning Liu, or any member that
is affiliated with or in the downline of a member recruited by Michael Dunn or Ning Liu.

 

During the term of this Agreement and at all times thereafter while

In the event of any discrepancy between the provisions of this Section
3.4 and other agreements, plans, policies, or procedures referenced in this Section 3.4, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

 

3.5        IRC
409A.

 

3.5.1  The provisions of this Section 3.5 will only apply if and to the extent required to avoid the imposition of
taxes, interest, and penalties on Executive under Code Section 409A.  Code Section 409A applies to nonqualified deferred compensation,
which exists if an individual has a “legally binding right” to compensation that is or may be payable in a later year. 
In furtherance of the objective of this paragraph, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section
409A would result in Executive being subject to payment of taxes, interest, or penalties under Section 409A, Executive and the
Employer agree to use best efforts to amend this Agreement in order to avoid or limit the imposition of any such taxes, interest,
or penalties, while maintaining to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions.  This
paragraph does not guarantee that Executive will not be subject to taxes, interest, or penalties under Code Section 409A with respect
to compensation or benefits described or referenced in this Agreement. 

 

3.5.2    Furthermore and notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes, interest, and penalties
on Executive under Code Section 409A, if at the time of the termination of Executive’s employment Executive is a “specified
employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), Executive will not be entitled to any payments upon termination of employment
until the first day of the seventh month after the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined in Code
Section 409A) and any such payments to which Executive would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following Executive’s
separation from service will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first day of the seventh month after the separation
from service.  For purposes of Section 8 of this Agreement, “termination of employment,” “termination,”
and other similar terms and phrases are to be interpreted to mean a “separation of service” as defined pursuant to
Code Section 409A and its governing regulations.

 

 3.5.3    All reimbursements that would be subject to Code Section 409A and that are provided under this
Agreement, will be made to Executive as soon as administratively feasible following the date the underlying expense is incurred
but no later than December 31 of the year following the year during which the Executive incurred the applicable cost or expense.
Any amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit provided, during a calendar year will not affect the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit to be provided, during any other calendar year.  The right to any
reimbursement or in-kind benefit pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

 

3.5.4    Notwithstanding
any contrary provision in this Agreement, or in any other plan, award, arrangement, or agreement between Executive and the Employer
that: (i) provides for the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A; and (ii) conditions payment
or commencement of payment on one or more employment-related actions, such as the execution and effectiveness of a release of claims
or a restrictive covenant (each an “Employment-Related Action”) (any such plan, award, arrangement or agreement is
a “Relevant Plan”):  (i) if the Relevant Plan does not specify a period or provides for a period of more than
ninety (90) days for the completion of an Employment-Related Action, then the period for completion of the Employment-Related Action
will be the period specified by the Employer, which will be no longer than ninety (90) days following the event otherwise triggering
the right to payment; and (ii) if the period for the completion of an Employment-Related Action includes the January 1 next following
the event otherwise triggering the right to payment, then the payment will be made or commence following the completion.

4.       Additional Covenants

 

4.1       Confidentiality.
Executive acknowledges that Employer has made or will make available to Executive certain customer lists, customer preferences,
product design information, performance standards, marketing plans and information, independent contractor identification and terms
of compensation, supplier and vendor information, compensation arrangements, strategic plans and information, and other confidential
and/or proprietary information of Employer or licensed to Employer or its affiliates, including without limitation trade secrets
and copyrighted materials, (collectively, the “Confidential Material”). Except as reasonably necessary or desirable
in connection with Executive's obligations under this Agreement, Executive shall not make any disclosure or use of any of the Confidential
Material. Except as reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, Executive
shall not make any duplication or other copy of any of the Confidential Material. Immediately upon request from Employer, Executive

publicly available information or information generally known or generally employed by the trade or industry. In the event Executive
is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena,
civil investigative demand, court order, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Material, Executive will notify Employer
promptly of the request or requirement so that the Employer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Section 4.1. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Executive is,
on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Material to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, Executive
may disclose the Confidential Material to the tribunal.

1

(i)

No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Section 4. Conversion.

(a) (i) 

Holder's Conversion Right. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture, including interest and principal, shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price of Sixty Percent (60%) of the lowest traded VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for 15 trading days prior to conversion (the “Set Price”) at the option of the Holder. The holder is limited to converting no more than 20% percent of the previous week’s dollar volume during any given trading week. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit B ("Notice of Conversion"), specifying the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a "Conversion Date"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender Debentures to the Company. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within TWO (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. If the Company does not request the issuance of the shares underlying this Debenture after receipt of a Notice of Conversion within TWO (2) Business days following the period allowed for any objection, the Company shall be responsible for any differential in the value of the converted shares underlying this Debenture between the value of the closing price on the date the shares should have been delivered and the date the shares are delivered. In addition, if the COMPANY fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 business days), deliver the shares per the instructions of the HOLDER, free and clear of all legends in legal free trading form, the COMPANY shall allow HOLDER to add two (2) days to the lookback (the mechanism used to obtain the conversion price along with discount) for each day the COMPANY fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 business days)) deliver shares, on the next conversion.

 

The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. Any Opinion Letter required to effectuate the issuance of the shares pursuant to this Paragraph 4(a) and the Notice of Conversion shall be provided and issued by Company. The Holder may use another attorney in it’s sole discretion for the opinion. The parties hereby agree that the Holder will cover all legal costs associated with the issuance of the Opinion Letter to the Transfer Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default the Holder may require the Company to, at such Holder’s option and otherwise in accordance with the provisions for conversion herein, convert all or any part of this Note into Common Stock at the Alterative Conversion Price. 

“Alternative Conversion Price” means 50% of the lowest traded price in the twenty (20) days prior to the Conversion Date.

If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Debentures, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Holders are entitled to convert Debentures during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

(b) 

The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture. See attached EXHIBIT A (Irrevocable TA Letter)

(d) 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Holder may not convert this Debenture to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such conversion and held by the Holder after application of this section. The provisions of this section may be waived by the Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(e) 

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 300% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 9. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in Broward County (the "Florida Courts"). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Florida Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or such Florida Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

Section 10. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture. Any waiver must be in writing.

Section 11. If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Debentures as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
