BACKGROUND

In the normal course of their businesses, Cellco and the other Originators originate device payment plan agreements for various wireless devices.  In addition, the Master Trust holds certain device payment plan agreements originated by Cellco and certain other Originators.

In connection with a securitization transaction sponsored by Cellco in which the Issuer will issue Notes secured by a revolving pool of Receivables consisting of device payment plan agreements, certain of the Originators and/or the Master Trust have transferred an initial pool of Receivables and related property, and any of the Originators and/or the Master Trust may from time to time transfer additional Receivables and related property, to the Depositor, who will transfer them to the Issuer.  The Issuer has engaged the Servicer to service the Receivables.

The Issuer has granted a security interest in the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Notes issued by the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Issuer has determined to engage the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform reviews of certain Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties made by the Originators and the Servicer (with respect to Receivables transferred by the Master Trust) about the Receivables.

The parties agree as follows.

Section 3.1      Review Notices.

Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee a list of the Review Receivables in Excel format (or such other format as mutually agreed to by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer).

Section 3.3      Review Materials.

(a)            Access to Review Materials.  The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials for all of the Review Receivables within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Review Notice by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access or by otherwise providing the Asset Representations Reviewer with a secure electronic copy or in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Servicer shall use its best efforts to redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials without changing the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials for the Review.

(b)            Missing or Insufficient Review Materials.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will review the Review Materials to determine if any Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test.  If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines any missing or insufficient Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event within [ten (10)] Business Days after receipt of access to the Review Materials.  The Servicer will have [fifteen (15)] [days][Business Days] to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing

Section 3.4      Performance of Reviews.

(a)            Test Procedures.  For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Review Receivable the procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule B for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”), using the Review Materials necessary to perform the procedures as stated in the Test.  For each Test and Review Receivable, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”).  If a Test or part of a Test cannot be performed for a Review Receivable because the Test circumstances do not apply to the Review Receivable, the Test will be considered to be satisfied and will be reported as a Test Pass.

(b)            Review Period.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review of all of the Review Receivables within sixty (60) days after receiving access to the Review Materials under Section 3.3(a).

If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed on Schedule B, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Review Receivable but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation and warranty on the Review Report.

(e)            Termination of Review.  If a Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten (10) days before that Payment Date.  On receipt of notice,

The Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) will not be liable for legal fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, and the Indemnified Person.  If the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Indemnified Person (including the existence of different legal defenses available to each party), the Issuer will pay for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person.  No settlement of a Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Issuer and the Indemnified Person, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)            Survival of Obligations.  The obligations of the Issuer and the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer) under this Section 4.6 will survive the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer and the termination of this Agreement.

(d)            Repayment.  If the Issuer makes a payment to an Indemnified Person under this Section 4.6 and the Indemnified Person later collects from others any amounts for which the payment was made, the Indemnified Person will promptly repay those amounts to the Issuer.

(e)            Force Majeure.  The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such delay or failure is due in any part to an act of God, fire, natural calamities, war, terrorism, nuclear event, act or orders of governments, or other events beyond its reasonable and foreseeable control, including, but not limited to, loss of power and communications outages resulting from such events; provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that, with reasonable advance notice not more than once during any year, it will permit authorized representatives of the Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) or the Servicer, during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours, to have onsite access to and review the facilities, processes, books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials of the Asset Representations Reviewer relating to (a) the performance of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement, (b) payments of fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its performance and (c) a claim made by the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement; provided, that any review under this Section 4.7 will be subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 4.9.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain all relevant books, records, reports and other documents and materials for a period of at least two years after the termination of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.8      Delegation of Obligations.  The Asset Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the consent of the Issuer and the Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld and will be provided promptly by the Issuer and the Servicer; provided, however, if such consent is not provided within four (4) Business Days, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have a number of additional days to complete its Review equal to the number of days after the fourth Business Day taken by the Issuer or the Servicer to provide consent.  To the extent the Asset Representations Reviewer employs or uses the services of independent contractors to assist with the performance of the services under this Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will remain solely responsible for the payment of any costs, fees or expense of any such contractor.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will remain fully responsible for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were performing those obligations and duties under this Agreement, without diminution of any such obligation or liability by virtue of any indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor.

If the Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer), the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, is required by applicable Law, regulation, rule or order issued by an administrative, governmental, regulatory or judicial authority to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose the Confidential Information.

(b)            Use of Issuer PII.  The Issuer does not grant the Asset Representations Reviewer any rights to Issuer PII except as provided in this Agreement.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will use Issuer PII only to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as specifically directed in writing by the Issuer and will only reproduce Issuer PII to the extent necessary for these purposes.

When permitted, the disclosure of or access to Issuer PII will be limited to the specific information necessary for the individual to complete the assigned task.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will inform personnel with access to Issuer PII of the confidentiality requirements in this Agreement and train its personnel with access to Issuer PII on the proper use and protection of Issuer PII.

 

14

(ii)            The Asset Representations Reviewer will not sell, disclose, provide or exchange Issuer PII with or to any third party without the consent of the Issuer.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Issuer promptly in the event of an actual or reasonably suspected security breach, unauthorized access, misappropriation or other compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of Issuer PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach.

(e)            Return or Disposal of Issuer PII.  Except where return or disposal is prohibited by applicable Law, promptly on the earlier of the completion of the Review or the request of the Issuer, all Issuer PII in any medium in the Asset Representations Reviewer’s possession or under its control will be (i) destroyed in a manner that prevents its recovery or restoration or (ii) if so directed by the Issuer, returned to the Issuer without the Asset Representations Reviewer retaining any actual or recoverable copies, in both cases, without charge to the Issuer.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$500,000

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HyperSolar,
Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 842,912,630 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Bountiful Capital, LLC., a Nevada limited liability company, or its assignees
(the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”).
This Note shall become effective on June 27, 2018 (the “Effective Date”).

The Principal Sum is Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The total Consideration is Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) payable by wire. The Lender shall pay Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of
the Consideration upon execution of this Note (the “Initial Consideration”). The Lender may pay additional Consideration
to the Borrower in such amounts as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion (the “Additional Consideration”).
The Principal Sum due to the Lender, and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Initial Consideration plus any Additional Consideration
actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required
to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded
portion of this Note. 

1.       Maturity
Date. The Maturity Date is twelve (12) months from the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”)
and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be
due and payable. Within thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender may provide the Borrower with a written notice
to extend the Maturity Date and the Note Amount shall then be payable upon demand, but in no event later than sixty (60) months
from the Effective Date (the ”Extended Maturity Date”). The Lender shall provide the Borrower with ten (10) days written
notice to make a demand for payment (the “Demand Payment Date”), and the Demand Payment Date shall be considered to
be the Extended Maturity Date.

2.      Interest. This
Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent (10%) per year.

 

3.      Conversion.
The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into
shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion
price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) $0.01 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent
(50%) of the lowest trade price of Common Stock recorded on any trade day after the Effective Date, or (c) the lowest
effective price per share granted to any person or entity, including the Lender but excluding officers and directors of the Borrower,
after the Effective Date to acquire Common Stock, or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements,
exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire
Common Stock or outstanding Common Stock equivalents (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion formula shall be as
follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion
notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not
limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require
further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or
calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been
thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto.
The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender (in any name directed by the Lender) within
three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares
to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Borrower
is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then after receiving the Initial Consideration, the Borrower agrees to begin a good
faith effort to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program. The Conversion Price shall be subject
to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s
securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary
distributions and similar events.

    	 		 

     

    

4.      Conversion
Delays. If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3, the Lender, 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 and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares
returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts
shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered
by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after
the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added
to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall
tack back to the original date of this Note consistent with applicable securities laws). If the Borrower is unable to deliver
shares under this provision, due to an insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Lender agrees not
to force the Borrower to issue the shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that the Borrower takes immediate steps necessary
to obtain the appropriate approval from shareholders and/or the board of directors, where applicable, to increase the number of
authorized shares to satisfy the Conversion Notice.

5.       Limitation
of Conversions. In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of
this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its
affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted
portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result
in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes
of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except
as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived
by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the
conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be
specified in such notice of waiver).

6.      Payment.
The Borrower may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, if extended by the Lender. Within
six (6) days prior to the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a written notice
to pay the Note Amount on the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the
Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment of the Note Amount or (b) convert any part of the Note Amount into shares of Common
Stock. If the Lender elects to convert part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining
balance of the Note Amount by the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date.

7.      Piggyback
Registration Rights. The Borrower shall include on the next registration statement the Borrower files with the SEC (or on
the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) excluding S-8 registration statements for employee
stock grant and option plans, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless such shares of Common Stock
are eligible for resale under Rule 144. Failure to do so shall result in liquidated damages of Twenty Five Percent (25%)
of the outstanding principal balance of this Note being immediately due and payable to the Lender at its election in the form
of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

8.      Lender’s
Representations. The Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that (i) it is an “accredited investor”
as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) it understands that this Note
and the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note (collectively, the “Securities”) have not been registered under
the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the
Lender’s investment intention; in this connection, the Lender hereby represents that it is purchasing the Securities for
the Lender’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, that
Lender may syndicate participations in the Securities among a limited number of participants who all meet the suitability standards
of an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and will share among themselves
and the Lender an economic interest in the Securities on a pari passu, pass through basis with investment intent, such that the
availability of the private placement exemption for the issuance of the Note under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities
Act is preserved, (iii) the Lender, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the
Securities, (iv) the Lender acknowledges that the issuance of this Note has not been reviewed by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the issuance of this Note is intended
to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, and (v)
the Lender acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Note, the Borrower’s filings with the SEC (including without
limitation, any risk factors included in the Borrower’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K), and any documents which
may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, and hereby represents that it has been furnished by the Borrower
with all information regarding the Borrower, the terms and conditions of the purchase and any additional information that the
Lender has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly
authorized officers or other representatives of the Borrower concerning the Borrower and the terms and conditions of the purchase.

    	 	2	 

     

    

9.       Borrower’s
Representations. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that (i) the Borrower is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to own, lease,
license and use its properties and assets and to carry out the business in which it proposes to engage, and (ii) the Borrower
has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note and to issue and
sell this Note, and (iii) all necessary proceedings of the Borrower have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery,
and performance of this Note, and when this Note is executed and delivered by the Borrower, it will constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation
and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

10.    Default.
The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal under this Note when due
and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under
this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall
be appointed over the Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20)
days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Borrower shall become insolvent or generally
fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if
any; or (v) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Borrower shall file a petition
for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be
commenced or filed against the Borrower; or (viii) the Borrower shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Borrower’s
shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the
DTC System; or (ix) the Borrower shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with
the SEC; or (x) the Borrower shall commit a material breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties in this Note. 

11.    Remedies.
In the event of any default, the funded portion of the Note Amount shall become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default
Amount. The Mandatory Default Amount shall be 150% of the funded portion of the Note Amount. Commencing five (5) days after
the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on the Mandatory
Default Amount shall accrue at a default interest rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate
permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Lender need not provide, and the Borrower
hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Lender 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. While the Mandatory Default Amount is outstanding and default interest is accruing, the Lender shall have all rights as a
holder of this Note until such time as the Lender receives full payment pursuant to this paragraph, or has converted all the remaining
Mandatory Default Amount and any other outstanding fees and interest into Common Stock under the terms of this Note. In the event
of any default and at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall file a registration statement with the SEC to register all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that are otherwise eligible to have their restrictive transfer legend
removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’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 Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note
as required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower may only pay the full balance of the Mandatory Default Amount, and may
not make partial payments unless agreed upon by the Lender. If the Borrower desires to pay the Mandatory Default Amount, then
the Borrower shall provide the Lender with six (6) days prior written notice of payment. Within three (3) days of receiving written
notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment, or (b) convert any part of the payment into shares of Common Stock.
If the Lender elects to convert part of the payment into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance
of the Mandatory Default Amount.

12.     No
Shorting. Lender agrees that so long as this Note from Borrower to Lender remains outstanding, the Lender shall not, Lender’s
affiliates shall not, and Lender will not direct any third parties to, enter into or effect “short sales” of the Common
Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a short position with respect to the Common Stock of the Borrower. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Lender, the Lender immediately owns the shares of Common
Stock described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered
short sales.

13.    Assignability.
The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and shall inure to the
benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Lender, in whole or in part, to anyone of its
choosing without Borrower’s approval subject to applicable securities laws. Lender covenants not to engage in any unregistered
public distribution of the Note when making any assignments.

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

14.    Governing
Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada,
without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Nevada or in the federal courts
located in Clark County, in the State of Nevada. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to
submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

15.    Delivery
of Process by the Lender to the Borrower. In the event of any action or proceeding by the Lender against the Borrower, and
only by the Lender against the Borrower, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process which may be served
in any such action or proceeding may be made by the Lender 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 Borrower at its last known attorney
as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

16.    Attorney
Fees. In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Note with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration
or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Note or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or
misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled
to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred, including but not limited to
post judgment costs, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

17.    Transfer
Agent Instructions. In the event that an opinion of counsel, such as but not limited to a Rule 144 opinion, is needed for
any matter related to this Note or the Common Stock the Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.
If the Lender chooses to have its counsel provide such opinion, then the Lender shall provide the Borrower with written notice.
Within three (3) business days of receiving written notice, the Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to rely upon opinions
from the Lender’s counsel. A penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive
of the day of request) until the reliance instruction is delivered to the transfer agent. If the Lender requests that the Borrower’s
counsel issue an opinion, then the Borrower shall cause the issuance of the requested opinion within three (3) business days.
A penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until
the requested opinion is delivered. The Lender and the Borrower agree that all penalty amounts shall be added to the Principal
Sum of this Note and shall tack back to the Effective Date of this Note, with respect to the holding period under Rule 144, so
long as such treatment is not inconsistent with Rule 144’s applicable tacking provisions. The Borrower warrants that it
will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically
or in certificated form) any certificate for the Securities to be issued to the Lender and it will not fail to remove (or direct
its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or
to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for the Securities when required by this Note.
The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Note may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by
the Borrower of these provisions, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required.

18.    Reservation
of Shares.  At all times during which this Note is convertible, the Borrower shall reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock
upon the full conversion of this Note.

19.     Disclosure
of Material Non-Public Information. The Borrower agrees not to disclose any material non-public information to the Lender
after the Effective Date. If the Borrower inadvertently discloses any material non-public information to the Lender,
then the Borrower shall promptly publicly disclose that information by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC and by any other means
necessary to make that information known to the public.

20.   Public
Disclosure. The Lender and the Borrower agree not to issue any public statement with respect to the Lender’s investment
or proposed investment in the Borrower or the terms of any agreement or covenant without the other party’s prior written
consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation. The
Borrower agrees to reference Lender only as “an accredited investor” and attach only a form copy of this Note in any
of the Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other public filings, except such full disclosures
as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.

21.   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 shall 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.
