Additionally, at Holder’s election, if
the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the conversion shares by the 3rd business day following the
delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder
may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and
the Company must make the Holder whole as follows: Failure to Deliver Loss = [(Highest VWAP price for the 30 trading days on or
after the day of exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)]. The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment,
and any such cash payment must be made by the third (3rd) business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice
to the Company.
The Company may prepay the Note in whole or
in part at any time, up to 180 days after funding, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with premium interest
thereon to the date of prepayment (120% within 60 days; 130% 61-120 days; 140% 121-180
days). After 180 days, Company may not prepay any amount.
The Holder shall not be entitled to effect
a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’
prior written notice by the Holder).
Additionally, the Company has issued 2,666,666
returnable shares to Holder. In the event that, upon the 6th monthly anniversary of the Issuance Date of the Note, the
Company has not effected a resale registration statement under which no less than 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been registered
for conversion of the Note or if, on the 6th monthly anniversary of the Issuance Date there is an outstanding balance
on the Note, then the Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the
trading day ending immediately prior to the date of a delivery of a Notice of Conversion, the outstanding principal balance shall
be increased by fifteen percent (15%), and the Holder shall retain the 2,666,666 shares.
Securities Purchase Agreements:
The Company and the Holder executed the Securities
Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration for offers
and sales to accredited investors afforded, inter alia, by Rule 506 under Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1933 Act, and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. The SPA outlines the
purchase of the Note (the “Securities”), and the Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold
to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and state securities laws and that
the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth in the SPA in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire the Securities.

the Notes is paid and performed in full, the Transfer Agent of the Company is authorized to establish a reserve of shares of authorized
but unissued Common Stock of the Company in an amount not less than 44,000,000 shares for issuance upon partial or full conversion
of the Note, in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Transfer Agent shall immediately add shares of Common Stock to the reserved
shares as and when requested by Company or Holder in writing from time to time, so long as there are sufficient authorized and
unissued shares of the Company not otherwise reserved available to do so.
