10% FIXED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

OF

 

IRONCLAD
ENCRYPTION CORPORATION

 

Issuance Date:  August 24,
2017

Total Face Value of Note: $330,000

Initial Consideration: $150,000

Initial Original Issue Discount: $15,000

Initial Principal Sum Due: $165,000

 

This
Note is a duly authorized Fixed Convertible Promissory Note of Ironclad Encryption Corporation a corporation duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”),
designated as the Company's 10% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $330,000 (the “Note”).
This Note will become effective only upon execution by both parties and delivery of the first payment of consideration by the Holder
(the “Effective Date”).

 

For
Value Received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of Tangiers Global, LLC or its registered assigns
or successors-in-interest (the “Holder”) the Principal Sum of $330,000 (the “Principal Sum”)
and to pay “guaranteed” interest on the principal balance hereof at an amount equivalent to 10% of the Principal Sum,
to the extent such Principal Sum and “guaranteed” interest and any other interest, fees, liquidated damages and/or
items due to Holder herein have not been repaid or converted into the Company's Common Stock (the “Common Stock”),
in accordance with the terms hereof.  The sum of $150,000 shall be remitted and delivered to the Company, and $15,000
shall be retained by the Holder through an original issue discount (the “OID”) for due diligence and legal bills
related to this transaction.  The OID is set at 10% of any consideration paid. The Holder may pay additional consideration
(each, a “Consideration”) to the Company in such amounts and at such dates (each, an “Additional Consideration
Date”) as Holder may choose in its sole discretion. The Principal Sum due to Holder shall be prorated based on the Consideration
actually paid by Holder (plus the “guaranteed” interest and 10% OID, both which are prorated based on the Consideration
actually paid by the Holder, as well as any other interest or fees) such that the Company is only required to repay the amount
funded and the Company is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note. The Maturity Date is seven months from the Effective
Date of each payment (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Amount of this Note, as
well as any unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable.

 

     

     

    

 

In addition to the “guaranteed”
interest referenced above, and in the Event of Default pursuant to Section 2.00(a), additional interest will accrue from the date
of the Event of Default at the rate equal to the lower of 20% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default
Rate”).  

 

This Note will become
effective only upon the execution by both parties, including the execution of Exhibits B, C, D, E and the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions (the “Date of Execution”) and delivery of the initial payment of consideration by the Holder
(the “Effective Date”).

 

As an investment incentive,
the Company will issue 82,500 four (4) year cashless warrants, exercisable at $3.00.

 

This Note may be prepaid
by the Company, in whole or in part, according to the following schedule:

 

	Days Since Effective Date	 	Prepayment Amount

in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion.  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is
due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is
a Business Day.  If the Note is in default, per Section 2.00(a) below, the Company may not prepay the Note without written
consent of the Holder.

 

For purposes hereof the
following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

 

“Business

are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

“Conversion
Price” shall be equal to $1.00.

 

     

     

    

 

“Principal
Amount” shall refer to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of this Note (including the original issue discount,
prorated if the Note has not been funded in full), (ii) all guaranteed and other accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, (iii)
any fees due hereunder, (iv) liquidated damages, and (v) any default payments owing under the Note, in each case previously paid
or added to the Principal Amount.

 

“Principal Market”
shall refer to the primary exchange on which the Company’s common stock is traded or quoted.

damages and/or principal payments in common stock as set forth herein) in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

The following terms and
conditions shall apply to this Note:

 

Section 1.00         Conversion.

 

(a)          Conversion
Right.  Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the
right, at the Holder's sole option, at any time and from time to time to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid
Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock as per the Conversion Price, but not to exceed the Restricted Ownership
Percentage, as defined in Section 1.00(f).  The date of any conversion notice (“Conversion Notice”)
hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.  The Conversion Price shall be equitably
adjusted in the event of a forward split, stock dividend, or the like, but shall not be adjusted in the event of a reverse split,
recombination, or the like.

 

(b)          Stock
Certificates or DWAC.  The Company will deliver to the Holder, or Holder’s authorized designee, no later than
2 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which certificate(s) shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions if the shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Note being converted are eligible under a
resale exemption pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(ii) and Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) representing
the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.  In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent
is participating in Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”)
program, the Company shall instead use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such
shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s)
broker with DTC through its Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) program (provided that the same time
periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).  

 

(c)      
Charges and Expenses.  Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this
Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, legal opinion and related charges, postage/mailing
charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock.  Company shall pay all Transfer Agent
fees incurred from the issuance of the Common Stock to Holder, as well as any and all other fees and charges required by the Transfer
Agent as a condition to effectuate such issuance.  Any such fees or charges, as noted in this Section that are paid by
the Holder (whether from the Company’s delays, outright refusal to pay, or otherwise), will be automatically added to the
Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.      

 

     

     

    

 

(d)          Delivery
Timeline.  If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through the
DWAC program) pursuant to this Section (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends, if eligible) prior to 3 Trading Days after
the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder as liquidated damages an amount equal to $2,000 per day, until such certificate
or certificates are delivered.  The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine
the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from a failure to deliver the Common Stock and the inclusion herein of any
such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs.  Such
liquidated damages will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes
of Rule 144.  

 

(e)          Reservation
of Underlying Securities.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available for Holder,
out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive
rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, five times the number of shares
of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1.00, but without regard to any ownership
limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note (consisting of the Principal Amount), under the formula in Section
Section 2.00(c) below, to Common Stock (the “Required Reserve”).  The Company covenants that all shares
of Common Stock that shall be issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable
(if eligible).  If the amount of shares on reserve in Holder’s name at the Company’s transfer agent for this
Note shall drop below the Required Reserve, the Company will, within 2 Trading Days of notification from Holder, instruct the transfer
agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met. In the event that the Company does not instruct the
transfer agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met, the Holder will be allowed, if applicable,
to provide this instruction as per the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions attached to this Note. The Company
agrees that the maintenance of the Required Reserve is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 1.00(e) will
result in a default of the Note.

 

(f)          Conversion
Limitation.  The Holder will not submit a conversion to the Company that would result in the Holder beneficially
owning more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company (“Restricted Ownership Percentage”).

 

(g)          Conversion
Delays.  If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 1.00(b), the Holder,
at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable
to the unsold shares.  The rescinded conversion amount will be returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion
shares returned to the Company, under the expectation that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the Effective Date.

 

(h)          Shorting
and Hedging.  Holder may not engage in any “shorting” or “hedging” transaction(s) in the
Common Stock of the Company prior to conversion.

 

(i)          Conversion
Right Unconditional.  If the Holder shall provide a Conversion Notice as provided herein, the Company's obligations
to deliver Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or
alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Company.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 2.00         Defaults
and Remedies.

 

(a)          Events
of Default.  An “Event of Default” is:  (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder
which default continues for more than 5 Trading Days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares
upon and in accordance with terms of Section 1.00, which default continues for 2 Trading Days after the Company has failed to issue
shares or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd Trading Day following the Conversion Date; (iii) if the Company does not issue
the press release or file the Current Report on Form 8-K, in each case in accordance with the provisions and the deadlines referenced
Section 4.00(i); (iv) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material
provision of this Note; (v) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status
with DTC; (vi) any default of any mortgage, indenture or instrument which may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any indebtedness, for money borrowed by the Company or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company,
whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter; (vii) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy
Event; (viii) any failure of the Company to satisfy its “filing” obligations under Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTCMarkets.com
and their affiliates; (ix) failure of the Company to remain in good standing under the laws of its state of domicile; (x) any failure
of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to its corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number
of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 Trading Day of request by Holder; (xi) failure by the Company
to maintain the Required Reserve in accordance with the terms of Section 1.00(e); (xii) failure of Company’s Common Stock
to maintain a closing bid price in its Principal Market for more than 3 consecutive Trading Days; (xiii) any delisting from a Principal
Market for any reason; (xiv) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees in excess of $2,000 or to maintain a Transfer
Agent of record; (xv) failure by Company to notify Holder of a change in Transfer Agent within 24 hours of such change; (xvi) any
trading suspension imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Sections
12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xvii) failure by the Company to meet all requirements necessary to satisfy the availability of
Rule 144 to the Holder or its assigns, including but not limited to the timely fulfillment of its filing requirements as a fully-reporting
issuer registered with the SEC, requirements for XBRL filings, and requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website;
or (xviii) failure of the Company to abide by the terms of the right of first refusal contained in Section 4.00(k).

 

(b)          Remedies.  If
an Event of Default occurs, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration,
shall become, at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “Mandatory Default Amount”.  The
Mandatory Default Amount means 140% of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, will be automatically added to the Principal
Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.  Commencing 5 days after the occurrence
of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue additional interest, in
addition to the Note’s “guaranteed” interest, at a rate equal to the lesser of 20% per annum or the maximum rate
permitted under applicable law.  In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide,
and the Issuer hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and
without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available
to it under applicable law.  Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment
hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment
pursuant to this Section 2.00(b).  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair
any right consequent thereon.  Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to
the Issuer's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

     

     

    

 

(c)          Conversion
Right.  At any time and from time to time after a default occurs solely due to the fact the Note is not retired on
or before the Maturity Date (“Maturity Default”), subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations
contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's sole option, to convert in whole or in part the outstanding
and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock at the Maturity Default Conversion Price. The “Maturity
Default Conversion Price” shall be equal to the lower of: (a) the Conversion Price or (b) 65% of the average of
the two lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Days prior to the date on which
Holder elects to convert all or part of the Note.  For the purpose of calculating the Maturity Default Conversion Price
only, any time after 4:00 pm Eastern Time (the closing time of the Principal Market) shall be considered to be the beginning of
the next Business Day.  If the Company is placed on “chilled” status with the DTC, the discount shall be
increased by 10%, i.e., from 35% to 45%, until such chill is remedied.  If the Company is not DWAC eligible
through their Transfer Agent and DTC’s FAST system, the discount will be increased by 5%, i.e., from 35% to
40%.  In the case of both, the discount shall be a cumulative increase of 15%, i.e., from 35% to 50%.  The
Company shall have 90 days following the Effective Date of this Note to become DWAC eligible without penalty.

 

Section 3.00         Representations and Warranties of Holder.

 

Holder hereby represents and warrants to
the Company that:

 

(a)          Holder
is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”), and will acquire this Note and the Underlying Shares (collectively, the “Securities”)
for its own account and not with a view to a sale or distribution thereof as that term is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the 1933
Act, in a manner which would require registration under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Holder has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Securities.
Holder can bear the economic risk of the Securities, has knowledge and experience in financial business matters and is capable
of bearing and managing the risk of investment in the Securities. Holder recognizes that the Securities have not been registered
under the 1933 Act, nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the Securities
is registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Holder has carefully considered and has,
to the extent Holder believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the
suitability of an investment in the Securities for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors
were deemed necessary, and has determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for it. Holder has not been offered the
Securities by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices
or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar
or meeting where, to Holders’ knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means
of general solicitation or advertising. Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from
the Company, or any person or persons acting on behalf of the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities and
the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Holder. The Company has not supplied Holder
any information regarding the Securities or an investment in the Securities other than as contained in this Agreement, and Holder
is relying on its own investigation and evaluation of the Company and the Securities and not on any other information.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          The
Holder is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Holder is duly
qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

(c)          All
corporate action has been taken on the part of the Holder, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Note. The Holder has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Holder
reflected in the provisions of this Note, valid and enforceable obligations.

 

(d)          Each
certificate or instrument representing Securities will be endorsed with the following legend (or a substantially similar legend),
unless or until registered under the 1933 Act or exempt from registration:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS
THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE
144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES WHICH IS REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.

 

Section 4.00         General.

 

(a)          Payment
of Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses,
which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.

 

(b)          Assignment,
Etc.  The Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee at its sole discretion.  This Note
shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted
assigns.

 

(c)          Amendments.  This
Note may not be modified or amended, or any of the provisions of this Note waived, except by written agreement of the Company and
the Holder.

 

     

     

    

 

(d)          Funding
Window.  The Company agrees that it will not enter into a convertible debt financing transaction, including 3(a)9
and 3(a)10 transactions, with any party other than the Holder for a period of 30 Trading Days following the Effective Date and
each Additional Consideration Date, as relevant. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of
this Section 4.00(d) will result in a default of the Note.

 

(e)          Terms
of Future Financings.  So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
of any convertible debt security (whether such debt begins with a convertible feature or such feature is added at a later date)
with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not
similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term
and such term, at the Holder's option, shall become a part of this Note and its supporting documentation.. The types of terms contained
in the other security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing
conversion discounts, conversion look back periods, interest rates, original issue discount percentages and warrant coverage.

 

(f)          Governing
Law; Jurisdiction.

 

(i)          Governing
Law.  This Note will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the state of California
without regard to any conflicts of laws or provisions thereof that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other
jurisdiction.

 

(ii)         Jurisdiction
and Venue.  Any dispute, claim, suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or
the rights and obligations of each of the parties shall be brought only in San Diego, California or in the federal courts of the
United States of America located in San Diego, California.

 

(iii)        No
Jury Trial.  The Company hereto knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury
with respect to any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Note.

 

(iv)        Delivery
of Process by the Holder to the Company.  In the event of an action or proceeding by the Holder against the Company,
and only by the Holder against the Company, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process that may be
served in any such action or proceeding may be made by the Holder via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS,
email, fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Company at its last known attorney
as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

 

(v)         Notices.  Any
notice required or permitted hereunder (including Conversion Notices) must be in writing and either personally served, sent by
facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier.  Notices will be deemed effectively delivered at the time
of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the
courier service for delivery.

 

(g)          No
Bad Actor.  No officer or director of the Company would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, on the basis of being a “bad actor” as that term is established in the September 13, 2013 Small Entity
Compliance Guide published by the SEC.

 

     

     

    

 

(h)         Usury.  If
it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates any applicable law governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under
applicable law.  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take
advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal, fees, liquidated
damages or interest on this Note.

 

(i)          Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day immediately following
the Date of Execution, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file
a Current Report on Form 8-K, including a copy of this Note as an exhibit thereto, with the SEC within the time required by the
1934 Act.  From and after the filing of such press release, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall have publicly
disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Holder by the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees,
or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Note.  The Company and the Holder shall consult with
each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor
the Holder shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company,
with respect to any press release of the Holder, or without the prior consent of the Holder, with respect to any press release
of the Company, none of which consents shall be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned except if such disclosure
is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public
statement or communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Holder,
or include the name of the Holder in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Principal Market, without the prior written
consent of the Holder, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Principal Market regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Holder with prior notice of such disclosure permitted hereunder.

 

The Company agrees that this is a material
term of this Note and any breach of this Section 4.00(i) will result in a default of the Note.

 

(j)          Attempted
Below-par Issuance.  In the event that (i) any requested conversion hereunder shall be at a Conversion Price that
is less than then-current par value of the Company’s Common Stock and that any or all of such requested conversion would
be precluded by state law or otherwise and (ii) within three business days of the requested conversion, the Company shall not have
reduced its par value such that all of the requested conversion may then be accomplished, then the Company and the Holder agree
to the following conversion protocol:  the Holder shall generate and transmit to the Company (X) a “preliminary”
Conversion Notice for the full number of shares of Common Stock of the above-referenced conversion at the Conversion Price without
regard to any below-par value conversion issues; (Y) a “par value” Conversion Notice for the number of shares of Common
Stock for the above-referenced conversion with the Conversion Price increased from the Conversion Price set forth in the “preliminary”
Conversion Notice to a Conversion Price at par value; and (Z) a “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice for that number
of shares of Common Stock that represents the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock in the “preliminary”
Conversion Notice and the number of shares of Common Stock in the “par value” Conversion Notice and the Conversion
Price of such “liquidated damages Common Shares” would be the par value of the Common Stock.  The Company
acknowledges that any failure by it to provide the Holder with its full conversion rights under this Note (as a result of a proposed
“below par” conversion) will cause the Holder to incur substantial economic damages and losses of types and in amounts
that are impossible to compute and ascertain with certainty as a basis for recovery by the Holder of actual damages and that liquidated
damages would represent a fair, reasonable, and appropriate estimate thereof.  Accordingly, in the event that the Holder
is precluded from exercising any or all of its conversion rights hereunder as a result of a proposed “below par” conversion,
the Company agrees that, in lieu of actual damages for such failure, liquidated damages may be assessed and recovered by the Holder
without being required to present any evidence of the amount or character of actual damages sustained by reason thereof.  The
amount of such liquidated damages shall be an amount equivalent to the trading price (without discount) utilized in the “preliminary”
Conversion Notice multiplied by the number of shares calculated on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice.  Such
amount shall be assessed and become immediately due and payable to the Holder (at its election) in the form of a cash payment,
an addition to the Principal Sum of this Note, or the immediate issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock as calculated
on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice.  Such liquidated damages are intended to represent estimated
actual damages and are not intended to be a penalty, but, by virtue of their genesis and subject to the election of the Holder
(as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back
to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.

 

     

     

    

 

(k)          Right
of First Refusal.  From and after the date of this Note and at all times hereafter while the Note is outstanding,
the Parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any written or oral proposal (the “Proposal”)
containing one or more offers to provide additional capital or equity or debt financing (the “Financing Amount”),
the Company agrees that it shall provide a copy of all documents received relating to the Proposal together with a complete and
accurate description of the Proposal to the Holder and all amendments, revisions, and supplements thereto (the “Proposal
Documents”) no later than 3 business days from the receipt of the Proposal Documents. Following receipt of the Proposal
Documents from the Company, the Holder shall have the right (the “Right of First Refusal”), but not the obligation,
for a period of 5 business days thereafter (the “Exercise Period”), to invest, at similar or better terms to
the Company, an amount equal to or greater than the Financing Amount, upon written notice to the Company that the Holder is exercising
the Right of First Refusal provided hereby.  In furtherance of the Right of First Refusal, the Company agrees that it
will cooperate and assist the Holder in conducting a due diligence investigation of the Company and its corporate and financial
affairs and promptly provide the Holder with information and documents that the Holder may reasonably request so as to allow the
Holder to make an informed investment decision.  However, the Company and the Holder agree that the Holder shall have
no more than 5 business days from and after the expiration of the Exercise Period to exercise its Right of First Refusal hereunder.  This
Right of First Refusal shall extend to all purchases of debt held by, or assigned to or from, current stockholders, vendors, or
creditors, all transactions under Sections 3(a)9 and/or 3(a)10 or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all equity line-of-credit
transactions.  In the event that the Company does enter into, or makes any issuance of Common Stock related to a 3(a)(9)
Transaction or a 3(a)(10) Transaction while this note is outstanding, without giving Right of First Refusal to the Holder, a liquidated
damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, but not less than $25,000, will be assessed and will become
immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.
Such liquidated damages will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes
of Rule 144.

or successors-in-interest (“Holder”) the Principal Sum of $100,000 (the “Principal Sum”)
and to pay “guaranteed” interest on the principal balance hereof at an amount equivalent to 10% of the Principal Sum,

items due to Holder herein have not been repaid or converted into the Company's Common Stock (the “Common Stock”),
in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

In the event that the

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

In addition to the “guaranteed”
interest referenced above, and in the Event of Default pursuant to Section 2.00(a), additional interest will accrue from the date
of the Event of Default at the rate equal to the lower of 20% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default
Rate”).

 

This Note will become
effective only upon the execution by both parties, including the execution of Exhibits B, C, D, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions and the August 24, 2017 Investment Agreement (the “Date of Execution”) between the Company and
Holder (the “Effective Date”).

 

This Note may not be prepaid
by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time without approval by the Holder.

 

For purposes hereof the
following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

 

“Business
Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York
are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

“Conversion
Price” shall be fixed at a price equal to $3.25.

 

“Principal
Amount” shall refer to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of this Note (including the original issue discount,
prorated if the Note has not been funded in full), (ii) all guaranteed and other accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, (iii)
any fees due hereunder, (iv) liquidated damages, and (v) any default payments owing under the Note, in each case previously paid
or added to the Principal Amount.

damages and/or principal payments in common stock as set forth herein) in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

The following terms and
conditions shall apply to this Note:

 

Section 1.00        Conversion.

 

(a)          Conversion
Right. Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the
Holder's sole option, at any time and from time to time to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount
under this Note into shares of Common Stock as per the Conversion Price, but not to exceed the Restricted Ownership Percentage,
as defined in Section 1.00(f). The date of any conversion notice (“Conversion Notice”) hereunder shall be referred
to herein as the “Conversion Date”. The Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted in the event of a forward
split, stock dividend, or the like, but shall not be adjusted in the event of a reverse split, recombination, or the like.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(b)          Stock
Certificates or DWAC. The Company will deliver to the Holder, or Holder’s authorized designee, no later than 2 Trading
Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which certificate(s) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading
restrictions if the shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Note being converted are eligible under a resale exemption
pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(ii) and Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) representing the number of shares
of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in DTC’s FAST
program, the Company shall instead use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such
shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s)
broker with DTC through its DWAC program (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

 

(c)          Charges
and Expenses. Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, legal opinion and related charges, postage/mailing charge or any other
expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock. Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees incurred from the issuance
of the Common Stock to Holder, as well as any and all other fees and charges required by the Transfer Agent as a condition to effectuate
such issuance. Any such fees or charges, as noted in this Section that are paid by the Holder (whether from the Company’s
delays, outright refusal to pay, or otherwise), will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the
Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.

 

(d)          Delivery
Timeline. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through the DWAC program)
pursuant to this Section (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends, if eligible) prior to 3 Trading Days after the Conversion
Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder as liquidated damages an amount equal to $2,000 per day, until such certificate or certificates
are delivered. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual
damages and costs resulting from a failure to deliver the Common Stock and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts
are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. Such liquidated damages will
be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.

 

(e)          Reservation
of Underlying Securities. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available for Holder, out of its
authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights
or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, five times the number of shares of Common
Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1.00, but without regard to any ownership limitations
contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note (consisting of the Principal Amount), under the formula in Section 2.00(c),
to Common Stock (the “Required Reserve”). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable (if eligible). If
the amount of shares on reserve in Holder’s name at the Company’s transfer agent for this Note shall drop below the
Required Reserve, the Company will, within 2 Trading Days of notification from Holder, instruct the transfer agent to increase
the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met. In the event that the Company does not instruct the transfer agent to
increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met, the Holder will be allowed, if applicable, to provide this instruction
as per the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions attached to this Note. The Company agrees that the maintenance
of the Required Reserve is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 1.00(e) will result in a default of the
Note.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

The Company agrees that
this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 1.00(e) will result in a default of the Note.

 

(f)           Conversion
Limitation. The Holder will not submit a conversion to the Company that would result in the Holder beneficially owning more
than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company (“Restricted Ownership Percentage”).

 

(g)          Conversion
Delays. If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 1.00(b), the Holder, at any
time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable
to the unsold shares. The rescinded conversion amount will be returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares
returned to the Company, under the expectation that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the Effective Date.

 

(h)          Shorting
and Hedging. Holder may not engage in any “shorting” or “hedging” transaction(s) in the Common Stock
prior to conversion.

 

(i)           Conversion
Right Unconditional. If the Holder shall provide a Conversion Notice as provided herein, the Company's obligations to deliver
Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or alleged breach
by the Holder of any obligation to the Company.

 

Section 2.00        Defaults
and Remedies.

 

(a)          Events
of Default. An “Event of Default” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default
continues for more than 5 Trading Days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares upon and
in accordance with terms of Section 1.00, which default continues for 2 Trading Days after the Company has failed to issue shares
or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd Trading Day following the Conversion Date; (iii) if the Company does not issue the
press release or file the Current Report on Form 8-K, in each case in accordance with the provisions and the deadlines referenced
Section 4.00(i); (iv) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material
provision of this Note; (v) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status
with DTC; (vi) any default of any mortgage, indenture or instrument which may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any indebtedness, for money borrowed by the Company or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company,
whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter; (vii) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy
Event; (viii) any failure of the Company to satisfy its “filing” obligations under Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTCMarkets.com
and their affiliates; (ix) failure of the Company to remain in good standing under the laws of its state of domicile; (x) any failure
of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to its corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number
of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 Trading Day of request by Holder; (xi) failure by the Company
to maintain the Required Reserve in accordance with the terms of Section 1.00(e); (xii) failure of Company’s Common Stock
to maintain a closing bid price in its Principal Market for more than 3 consecutive Trading Days; (xiii) any delisting from a Principal
Market for any reason; (xiv) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees in excess of $2,000 or to maintain a Transfer
Agent of record; (xv) failure by Company to notify Holder of a change in Transfer Agent within 24 hours of such change; (xvi) any
trading suspension imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Sections
12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; or (xvii) failure by the Company to meet all requirements necessary to satisfy the availability
of Rule 144 to the Holder or its assigns, including but not limited to the timely fulfillment of its filing requirements as a fully-reporting
issuer registered with the SEC, requirements for XBRL filings, and requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(b)          Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration,
shall become, at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “Mandatory Default Amount”.
The Mandatory Default Amount means 140% of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, will be automatically added to the Principal
Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event
of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue additional interest, in addition to the
Note’s “guaranteed” interest, at a rate equal to the lesser of 20% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under
applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Issuer hereby waives,
any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace
period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. No
such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein
shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(c)          Conversion
Right. At any time and from time to time after a default occurs solely due to the fact the Note is not retired on or before
the Maturity Date (“Maturity Default”), subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained
herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's sole option, to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid
Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock at the Maturity Default Conversion Price. The “Maturity
Default Conversion Price” shall be equal to the lower of: (a) the Conversion Price or (b) 65% of the average of
the two lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Days prior to the date on which
the Holder elects to convert all or part of the Note. For the purpose of calculating the Maturity Default Conversion Price only,
any time after 4:00 pm Eastern Time (the closing time of the Principal Market) shall be considered to be the beginning of the next
Business Day. If the Company is placed on “chilled” status with the DTC, the discount shall be increased by 10%, i.e.,
from 35% to 45%, until such chill is remedied. If the Company is not DWAC eligible through their Transfer Agent and DTC’s
FAST system, the discount will be increased by 5%, i.e., from 35% to 40%. In the case of both, the discount shall
be a cumulative increase of 15%, i.e., from 35% to 50%. The Company shall have 90 days following the Effective Date
of this Note to become DWAC eligible without penalty.

Section 3.00        Representations and Warranties of Holder.

 

Holder hereby represents and warrants to
the Company that:

 

(a)          Holder
is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”), and will acquire this Note and the Underlying Shares (collectively, the “Securities”)
for its own account and not with a view to a sale or distribution thereof as that term is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the 1933
Act, in a manner which would require registration under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Holder has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Securities.
Holder can bear the economic risk of the Securities, has knowledge and experience in financial business matters and is capable
of bearing and managing the risk of investment in the Securities. Holder recognizes that the Securities have not been registered
under the 1933 Act, nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the Securities
is registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Holder has carefully considered and has,
to the extent Holder believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the
suitability of an investment in the Securities for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors
were deemed necessary, and has determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for it. Holder has not been offered the
Securities by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices
or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar
or meeting where, to Holders’ knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means
of general solicitation or advertising. Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from
the Company, or any person or persons acting on behalf of the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities and
the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Holder. The Company has not supplied Holder
any information regarding the Securities or an investment in the Securities other than as contained in this Agreement, and Holder
is relying on its own investigation and evaluation of the Company and the Securities and not on any other information.

 

(b)          The
Holder is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Holder is duly
qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

(c)          All
corporate action has been taken on the part of the Holder, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Note. The Holder has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Holder
reflected in the provisions of this Note, valid and enforceable obligations.

 

(d)          Each
certificate or instrument representing Securities will be endorsed with the following legend (or a substantially similar legend),
unless or until registered under the 1933 Act or exempt from registration:

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS
THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE
144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES WHICH IS REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.

 

Section 4.00        General.

 

(a)          Payment
of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which may
be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.

 

(b)          Assignment,
Etc. The Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee at its sole discretion. This Note shall be binding upon
the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

(c)          Amendments.
This Note may not be modified or amended, or any of the provisions of this Note waived, except by written agreement of the Company
and the Holder.

 

(d)          Piggyback
Registration Rights. Purposely withheld

 

(e)          Terms
of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any
convertible debt security (whether such debt begins with a convertible feature or such feature is added at a later date) with any
term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly
provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such
term, at the Holder's option, shall become a part of this Note and its supporting documentation.. The types of terms contained
in the other security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing
conversion discounts, conversion look back periods, interest rates, original issue discount percentages and warrant coverage.

 

(f)           Governing
Law; Jurisdiction.

 

(i)          Governing
Law. This Note will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without
regard to any conflicts of laws or provisions thereof that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

 

(ii)         Jurisdiction
and Venue. Any dispute, claim, suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the rights
and obligations of each of the parties shall be brought only in San Diego, California or in the federal courts of the United States
of America located in San Diego, California.

 

(iii)        No
Jury Trial. The Company hereto knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury with respect
to any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Note.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(iv)        Delivery
of Process by the Holder to the Company. In the event of an action or proceeding by the Holder against the Company, and only
by the Holder against the Company, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process that may be served in
any such action or proceeding may be made by the Holder via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, email,
fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Company at its last known attorney
as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

 

(v)         Notices.
Any notice required or permitted hereunder (including Conversion Notices) must be in writing and either personally served, sent
by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices will be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission
if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service
for delivery.

 

(g)          No
Bad Actor. No officer or director of the Company would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, on the basis of being a “bad actor” as that term is established in the September 13, 2013 Small Entity Compliance
Guide published by the SEC.

 

(h)          Usury.
If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates any applicable law governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under
applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage
of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal, fees, liquidated damages or
interest on this Note.

 

(i)           Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day immediately following the Date
of Execution, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current
Report on Form 8-K, including a copy of this Note as an exhibit thereto, with the SEC within the time required by the 1934 Act.
From and after the filing of such press release, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall have publicly disclosed all
material, non-public information delivered to the Holder by the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Note. The Company and the Holder shall consult with each other in issuing
any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Holder shall issue
any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any
press release of the Holder, or without the prior consent of the Holder, with respect to any press release of the Company, none
of which consents shall be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned except if such disclosure is required by law,
in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Holder, or include the name of the Holder
in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Principal Market, without the prior written consent of the Holder, except
to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Principal Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Holder
with prior notice of such disclosure permitted hereunder.

(j)           Attempted
Below-par Issuance. In the event that the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company and, if as of such date, (i) the
Conversion Price would be less than par value of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) within three business days of the delivery
of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall not have reduced its par value such that all of the requested conversion transaction
may then be accomplished, then the Company and the Holder shall utilize the following conversion protocol for Par Value Adjustment.
The Holder shall transmit to the Company: (X) a “preliminary” Conversion Notice for the full number of shares of Common
Stock that would be issued at the Conversion Price without regard to any below-par value conversion issues; followed by (Y) a “par
value” Conversion Notice for the number of shares of Common Stock with the Conversion Price increased from the “preliminary”
Conversion Price to a Conversion Price at par value; and, finally, (Z) a “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice for
that number of shares of Common Stock that represents the difference between the “preliminary” Conversion Notice full
number of shares and the “par value” Conversion Notice limited number of shares. The Conversion Price of such “liquidated
damages Common Shares” would be the par value of the Common Stock. Accordingly, through this protocol, the Company would
issue, in two transactions, an amount of shares of its Common Stock equivalent to the full number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued in accordance with the “preliminary” Conversion Notice without regard to any below-par value
conversion issues. In the event that the Holder is precluded from exercising any or all of its conversion rights hereunder as a
result of a proposed “below par” conversion, the Company agrees that, in lieu of actual damages for such failure, liquidated
damages may be assessed and recovered by the Holder without being required to present any evidence of the amount or character of
actual damages sustained by reason thereof. The amount of such liquidated damages shall be an amount equivalent to the trading
price utilized in the “preliminary” Conversion Notice multiplied by the number of shares calculated on the “liquidated
damages” Conversion Notice. Such amount shall be assessed and become immediately due and payable to the Holder (at its election)
in the form of a (i) cash payment, (ii) an addition to the Principal Sum of this Note, or (iii) the immediate issuance of that
number of shares of Common Stock as calculated on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice. Such liquidated damages
are intended to represent estimated actual damages and are not intended to be a penalty, but, by virtue of their genesis and subject
to the election of the Holder (as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), will be automatically added to the Principal
Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144, as the Company’s failure to maintain the par
value of its Common Stock at an amount that would not result in a “below par” conversion failure is equivalent to a
default as of the Issuance Date of the Note.
