Item 1.01

Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

Entry into a Securities Purchase Agreement

On November 9, 2023, Grom Social Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Generating Alpha Ltd., a Saint Kitts and Nevis Corporation (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell two convertible promissory notes of the Company (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), with each Note having an initial principal amount of $4,000,000, for a price of $3,640,000 per Note. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Notes, the Company has agreed to issue to the Investor warrants (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to acquire a total of 3,028,146 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the issuance of the Warrants together with the purchase and sale of the Notes, the “Transactions”). Capitalized words and phrases not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the SPA.

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investment, LLC, is acting as placement agent for the financing.

Transactions Pending Shareholder Approval

The Transactions are subject to shareholder approval (the “Shareholder Approval”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Company has agreed to secure Shareholder Approval for the SPA and the Transactions at a special meeting or via a written consent in lieu of a meeting. Concurrently with the execution of the SPA, the Company delivered to the Investor a fully executed copy of a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), wherein certain shareholders of the Company have agreed to vote certain securities of the Company held by them as set forth therein.

Note Terms

The Note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 has five (5) year maturity with an interest at nine (9) percent per calendar year and carries a nine (9) percent of original issue discount. The Company has agreed to make amortization payments each month in the amount of $83,033.42 in cash or in kind.

The Note is convertible at the discretion of the Investor into Common Stock at a price of $1.50. The Investor may choose the alternate Conversion Price (as described in the Notes) equal to 85% of the average of the three lowest trading prices during the previous ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to notice of conversion.

The Conversion Price is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protections in the event that the Company issues any Common Stock at a per share price (each a “Dilutive Price”) lower than the conversion price then in effect, provided, however, that Investor shall have the sole discretion in deciding whether to utilize such Dilutive Price instead of the Conversion Price otherwise in effect at the time of the respective conversion.

In the event of an Event of Default (as described in the Notes), the Conversion Price shall be equal to seventy (70) percent multiplied by the lower of (i) the lowest intraday trading price in the forty (40) trading days prior to the applicable Conversion Date (as described in the Notes) or (ii) the lowest closing bid price in the forty (40) trading days prior to the applicable Conversion Date.

Warrant Terms

Pursuant to the SPA, the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants shall occur at two closings (the “First Closing” and the “Second Closing”, each a “Closing”). The Warrant to be issued at the First Closing shall be a Warrant for 1,514,073 shares of Common Stock and shall have an exercise price of $1.78 per share of Common Stock. The Warrant to be issued at the Second Closing shall be a Warrant for 1,514,073 shares of Common Stock and shall have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA, the First Closing shall occur on the first business day following the receipt of the Shareholder Approval, and the Second Closing shall occur thirty-five (35) business days following the date that the Registration Statement (as defined below) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company is required to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC five (5) days following the date that the Shareholder Approval has been obtained, and go effective no later than the sixtieth (60^th) calendar day following the filing date, provided, however, that in the event the Company is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments, the effectiveness date as to such Registration Statement shall be the fifth (5th) trading day following the date on which the Company is so notified if such date precedes the dates otherwise required above.

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement, SPA, Notes, Warrants, and Registration Rights Agreement are a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which or the forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 9.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Company Shareholder owns of record the number of equity securities of the Company as set forth below such Company Shareholder’s name on the signature pages hereof (all such securities and any underlying securities of the Company of which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by the Company Shareholders prior to the termination of this Agreement being referred to herein as the “Securities”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of Company Shareholders (severally and not jointly), Buyer and the Company hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Defined terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given in the SPA.

Section 2. Agreement to Vote. Each Company Shareholder, by this Agreement, with respect to its Securities, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to vote (and agrees to execute such documents and certificates evidencing such agreement as Buyer or the Company may reasonably request in connection therewith), at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, all of such Company Shareholder’s Securities (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the SPA and the consummation of the Transactions; and (ii) in favor of the approval and authorization of the issuance to the Buyer of the securities of the Company to be issued at the Closings or upon any conversion of the Note or on any exercise of the Warrants; and in the case of each of (i) and (ii) including for purposes of compliance with Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, or any replacement or successor or similar rule or regulation of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at any time (collectively, the “Approval Matters”).

Section 3. Transfer of Securities. Except as may be required by or permitted in the SPA, until the Approval Matters have been approved, each Company Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), lien, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Securities or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement), (b) deposit any Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any Securities (unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement), or (d) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Company Shareholder from performing its obligations hereunder.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties. Each Company Shareholder, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants for and on behalf of itself to Buyer as follows:

(b) Such Company Shareholder has the power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Company Shareholder.

(c) The Company Shareholders, when taken together, have the power to effect the approval of the Approval Matters, without the need for the consent of additional parties including other shareholders of the Company.

Section 5. Termination. This Agreement and the obligations of Company Shareholders under this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the approval of the Approval Matters. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination or expiration shall not relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination of this Agreement.

(g) Third-Party Beneficiaries. This contract is strictly between the Parties and, except as specifically provided herein, no director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent, independent contractor or any other Person shall be deemed to be a third-Party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Article VIII. Indemnification

Section 8.01 General Indemnification. If the First Closing occurs, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and the Buyer’s Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, employees, agents, equity holders, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party arising out of, based upon or resulting from any breach of any representations or warranties of the Company herein or breach by Company of, or any failure of the Company to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement by the Company, except as a result of willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party.

Section 8.02 Procedures for Indemnification. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder:

(a)

Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Company is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Company reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Company shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Company’s expense and by the Company’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Company assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.02(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Company’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.

(b)

Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.02(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Company desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Company shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party objects to such offer, or does not provide a response to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice (in which case the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to not have consented to such offer), the Indemnified Party shall thereafter assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event the maximum liability of the Company as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party consents to such firm offer the Company may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.02(a), the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Company reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Company shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Company and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Company’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Company or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Company does not so respond within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(a)

Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request made by the Company, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Company and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Company in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 8.03 Payment. Upon a determination of liability under this Article VIII, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the date of such determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the Company shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation that is not subject to dispute. Upon the payment in full of any amounts due under this Article VIII with respect to any claim, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

Section 8.04 Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.

Section 9.07 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This contract is strictly between the Parties and, except as specifically provided herein, no director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent, independent contractor or any other Person shall be deemed to be a third-Party beneficiary of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be solely and exclusively construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed solely and exclusively by the internal laws of Nevis, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Nevis or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Nevis. The Company irrevocably and exclusively consents to and expressly agrees that binding arbitration in Nevis conducted by the Arbitrator Conflict Resolution Centre shall be their sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement between the Parties, the Company’s transfer agent or the relationship of the Parties or their Affiliates, and that the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone or teleconference.

$4,000,000 CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

Issue Date: November __, 2023

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GROM SOCIAL ENTERPRISES, INC., a Florida corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower” or the “Company”) (Trading Symbol: GROM), with its principal offices located at 2060 NW Boca Raton, Suite #6, boca Raton, Florida 33431, hereby promises to pay to Generating Alpha Ltd., a Saint Kitts and Nevis corporation, or its assigns or successors-in-interest (the "Holder" or "Lender") on order, without demand, the aggregate principal amount of FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000) (the “Principal Amount”), together with Guaranteed interest (the “Interest”) on the Principal balance hereof in the amount of nine percent (9) (the “Interest Rate”) per calendar year from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November __, 2023, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Borrower and Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”). All Interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrance with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of the shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the Holder. It is further acknowledged and agreed that the Principal Amount owed by Borrower under this Note shall be increased by the amount of all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the Holder relating to the conversion of this Note into shares of Common Stock. All such expenses shall be deemed added to the Principal Amount hereunder to the extent such expenses are paid by the Holder. The placement agent for this investment is Benchmark Investments, LLC, a broker dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of FINRA. $4,000,000 will be do upon shareholder approval (“Shareholder Approval”) and the second Note for the Second Closing of $4,000,000 will be due as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in the text of this Note or the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit A.

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

Article I – CONVERSION RIGHTS AND CERTAIN COVENANTS

At any time and from time to time, the Holder shall have the right to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock. The Outstanding Balance of Note together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts payable hereunder, or such portion thereof, that has not previously been converted into common stock, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), if any, shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. Should Borrower fail to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its securities on Borrower's ability to issue shares of Common Stock, in lieu of any right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under the Note. The Holder shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon of this Note into shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock as set forth below.

(a) Conversion Price. The conversion price for each conversion shall be $1.50. The Lender may choose the Alternate Conversion Price equal to 85% of the average of the three lowest Trading Prices (as defined below) during the previous ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to Notice of Conversion (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, similar events and Conversion Adjustments as set forth in this Note) as reported on the Nasdaq, OTCQB or applicable trading market or as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder or as reported on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded. In the event the Company receives a Notice of Conversion that elects the Alternate Conversion Price, the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation under such conversion with payment in cash in an amount equal to 110% of the conversion amount. Once the registration statement is effective, Company shall provide standing instructions to the Holder on whether Company will be electing the cash payment over conversion so as to avoid unnecessary time and expense for Holder in prepare all documentation necessary for a conversion. Company may change their standing instructions by providing 60 days notice to the Holder. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment. At any time after the note is funded, if in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is not deliverable by DWAC (including if the Borrower’s transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock specified in a Notice of Conversion), an additional 10% discount will apply for all future conversions under all Notes. If in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, an additional 15% discount shall apply for all future conversions under all Note. If in the case of both of the above, an additional cumulative 25% discount shall apply. Additionally, if the Borrower ceases to be a reporting company pursuant to the 1934 Act or if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares after one hundred eighty-one (181) days from the Issue Date, an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC Pink, OTCQB or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The Borrower shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Conversion Price may be adjusted downward if, within three (3) business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Common Stock has a closing bid which is 5% or lower than the closing bid price on the day the Notice of Conversion was submitted. If the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock have not been delivered within three (3) business days to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Notwithstanding the above calculation of the Conversion Price, if, prior to the repayment or conversion of this Note, in the event the Borrower consummates a registered or unregistered primary offering of its securities for capital raising purposes (a “Primary Offering”), the Holder shall have the right, in its discretion, to (x) demand repayment in full of an amount equal to any outstanding Principal Amount and interest (including Default Interest) under this Note as of the closing date of the Primary Offering or (y) convert any outstanding Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) under this Note into Common Stock at the closing of such Primary Offering at a Conversion Price equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price and (ii) a 20% discount to the offering price to investors in the Primary Offering. The Borrower shall provide the Holder no less than ten (10) business days’ notice of the anticipated closing of a Primary Offering and an opportunity to exercise its conversion rights in connection therewith. To the extent the Conversion Price is below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law, provided however that the Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price. In the event the Borrower has a DTC “Chill” on its shares, an additional discount of ten percent (10%) shall apply to the Conversion Price while that “Chill” is in effect. For purposes of this section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3^rd party has the right to convert monies owed to that 3^rd party (or receive shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise) at a discount to market greater than the Conversion Price in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted to such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding. Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3^rd party has a look back period greater than the look back period in effect under the Note at that time, then the Holder’s look back period shall automatically be adjusted to such greater number of days until this Note is no longer outstanding. The Borrower shall give written notice to the Holder, with the adjusted Conversion Price and/or adjusted look back period (each adjustment that is applicable due to the triggering event), within one (1) business day of an event that requires any adjustment described in the two immediately preceding sentences. The Conversion Price is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any Common Stock at a per share price lower than the Conversion Price (each a “Dilutive Price”) then in effect, provided, however, that Holder shall have the sole discretion in deciding whether to utilize such Dilutive Price instead of the Conversion Price otherwise in effect at the time of the respective conversion. Holder shall be entitled to deduct one thousand nine hundred dollars from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price.

(b)Adjustment to Conversion Price. At any time after the Issue Date, (i) if in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is not deliverable by DWAC (including if the Borrower’s transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock specified in a Notice of Conversion), (ii) if the Borrower ceases to be a reporting company pursuant or subject to the Exchange Act, (iii) if the Borrower loses a market (including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange) for its Common Stock, (iv) if the Borrower fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, (v) if the Conversion Price is less than or equal to one cent ($0.01) at any time after the thirtieth calendar day after the Issue Date, (vi) if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares on or after six months from the Issue Date, (vii) if at any time the Borrower does not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount (as defined herein) within three (3) business days of the request of the Holder, (viii) if the Borrower fails to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC Markets or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT, (ix) if the Borrower fails to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; the reporting 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, the requirements for XBRL filings, the requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website, (x) if the Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Stock, (xi) if OTC Markets changes the Common Stock of the Borrower or the Borrower’s designation to ‘No Information’ (Stop Sign), ‘Caveat Emptor’ (Skull and Crossbones), or ‘OTC’, ‘Other OTC’ or ‘Grey Market’ (Exclamation Mark Sign) or if it has any notation on the OTC Markets Group website other than “Current Information”, (xii) the restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement, (xiii) any cessation of trading of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC Markets or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT, and such cessation of trading shall continue for a period of five consecutive (5) Trading Days, and/or (xiv) the Borrower loses the “bid” price for its Common Stock ($0.0001 on the “Ask” with zero market makers on the “Bid” per Level 2), and/or (xv) if the Holder is notified in writing by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent that the Company does not have the necessary amount of authorized and issuable shares of Common Stock available to satisfy the issuance of Shares pursuant to a Conversion Notice, and/or (xvi) within three business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion, the Common Stock has a closing bid which is lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion or if the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock have not been delivered within three business days, and/or (xvii) the Borrower’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, then the Holder shall be entitled to an additional twenty percent (20%) discount for that conversion and all future conversions, for each occurrence, cumulative or otherwise, to be factored into the Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding and an additional $15,000 of principal shall be added to the Note.

(d) Conversion. The Holder shall have the option, but shall not be required, to convert all or a portion of the Note into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outstanding Balance together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon of this Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company. Non ink-original Notice of conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization of any Notice of Conversion form be required.

(b) (e) Mechanics of Conversion. As a condition to affecting the conversion set forth in Section 1.1(b) above, the Holder shall properly complete and deliver to the Company a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice” or Notice of Conversion”). The Notice of Conversion shall set forth the Outstanding Balance together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be affected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. Upon timely delivery to the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion, certificates evidencing that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance herewith shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit / Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Conversion Shares to, or resale of the Conversion Shares by, the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion by the date that is two Trading Days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Share Delivery Date”). The Borrower will not issue fraction shares or scrip representing fractions of shares upon conversion, but the Borrower will round the number of the shares up to the nearest whole share. Moreover, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event Borrower or its transfer agent refuses to deliver any Conversion Shares or shares without a restrictive securities legend to Lender on grounds that such issuance is in violation of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), Borrower shall deliver or cause its transfer agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares to Lender with a restricted securities legend, but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Note. In conjunction therewith, Borrower will also deliver to Lender a written explanation from its counsel or its transfer agent’s counsel opining as to why the issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares violates Rule 144.

(f) Charges. 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, 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 and acknowledges that this is a material obligation of this Note.

(g) Par Value Adjustments. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment, provided, however, that the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion may elect to instead to set the Conversion Price to par value for such Conversion(s) and the Conversion Amount for such Conversion(s) shall be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion(s) to equal the same number of Conversion Shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been set to par value pursuant to this Section.

(h) Rescindment of a Notice of Conversion. If (i) the Borrower fails to respond to Holder within one business day from the date a Notice of Conversion is sent confirming the details of the Notice of Conversion, (ii) the Borrower fails to provide any of the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of conversion within two business days from the date of receipt of the Note of Conversion, (iii) the Holder is unable to procure a legal opinion required to have the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock issued unrestricted and/or deposited to sell for any reason related to the Borrower’s standing, (iv) the Holder is unable to deposit the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of Conversion for any reason (v) at any time after a missed deadline, at the Holder’s sole discretion, (vi) if, within three business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion, the common Stock has a closing bid which is 5% lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion or (vii) if OTC Markets changes the Borrower’s designation to ‘Limited Information’ (Yield), ‘No Information’ (Stop Sign), ‘Caveat Emptor’ (Skull & Crossbones), ‘Otc’, ‘Other OTC’ or ‘Grey Market’ (Exclamation Mark Sign) or other trading restriction on the day of or any day after the Conversion Date, then the Holder maintains the option and sole discretion to rescind the Notice of Conversion by sending a Notice of Rescindment.

1.2 Obligation to Deliver Conversion Shares Absolute; Certain Remedies.

(a) Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. The Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. In the event that the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the Outstanding Balance hereof and accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this note, the Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Borrower posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of two hundred percent of the Outstanding Balance of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Borrow shall issue conversion shares upon a properly notices conversion. All payments under this Note (whether made by the Borrower or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”). The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(b) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Delivery Date. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties to this Note agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered as required by the Share Delivery Date (a “Conversion Default”), 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 and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Outstanding Balance with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that the shares are not delivered as required by this Note by the Share Delivery Date, the Borrower shall pay the “Conversion Default Payment”. Such cash amount shall be paid to the Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued (the “Conversion Default Payment Due Date”). In the event such cash amount is not received by the Holder by the Conversion Default Payment Due Date, at the option of the Holder (without notice to the Borrower), the Conversion Default Payment shall be added to the Outstanding Balance of this Note and will tack back to the original date of the Note and interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Company does not deliver the Conversion Shares underlying this Note from its transfer agent after receipt of a Notice of Conversion within TWO (2) Business days following the period allowed for any objection, the Company shall be responsible for any differential in the value of the converted shares underlying this Note between the value of the closing price on the date the shares should have been delivered and the date the shares are delivered. In addition, if the Company fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 business days), issue a treasury order to its transfer agent or otherwise cause to be delivered, the Conversion Shares per the instructions of the Holder, free and clear of all legends in legal free trading form, subject to all applicable securities laws, the Company shall allow Holder to add two (2) days to the look-back (the mechanism used to obtain the conversion price along with discount) for each day the Company fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 business days)) deliver shares, on the next conversion.

(d) Adjustment. The number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 1.1(b), shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

(e) Reservation of Shares. The Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees at all times to have authorized and reserved the greater of; (a) 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock or (b) six times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of this Note (based on the Conversion Price in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). Initially, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to reserve 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the name of the Holder for issuance upon conversion hereof. The Holder has the sole right to have the Borrower's transfer agent to increase the shares to equal the Reserved Amount at any time without the consent of the Borrower. The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time as required to ensure compliance with this provision. The Borrower represents and warrants and covenants and agrees that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of this Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to EXHIBIT C: IRREVOCABLE INSTRUCTIONS which forms a part of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Should any of the above events in this section occur, Company will have three business days to increase the reserve with their transfer agent or this will constitute an Event of Default. The Reserved Amount detailed in this Note is specific to this Note and it is in addition to any and all other shares reserved for the Holder in other notes or agreements. Further, it does not amend nor affect any previous Reserved Amount for the Holder. If at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount of six times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of this Note sixty days after the issuance of the note, it shall constitute an Event of Default. Holder shall not be required to fund this note, until the proper amount of shares are reserved for this Note under the provisions of this Note or Exhibit C: Irrevocable Instructions. The Borrower will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions, and the Reserved Amount will be increased by a factor of two (2) each time the Borrower issues a variable price security or a security or convertible promissory note where the issuance of shares changes according to the market price of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions. The Reserved Amount will be increased by a factor of two, each time the Borrower issues a Variable Security (as defined herein). A Variable Security shall mean any security issued by the Borrower that (i) has or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the common stock; (ii) is or may become convertible into common stock, including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred stock, with a conversion or exercise price that varies with the market price of the common stock, even if such security only becomes convertible or exercisable following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition; or (iii) was issued or may be issued the future in exchange for or in connection with any contract, security, or instrument, whether convertible or note, where the number of shares of common stock issued or to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market price of the common stock, including, but not limited to, common stock issued in connection with a section 3(a)(9) exchange, or a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. In the event that the Borrower shall be unable to reserve the entirety of the Reserved Amount (the “Reserve Amount Failure”), the Borrower shall promptly take all actions necessary to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate the Reserved Amount (the “Authorized Share Increase”), including without limitation, all board of directors actions and approvals and promptly (but no less than 60 days following the calling and holding a special meeting of its shareholders no more than sixty (60) days following the Reserve Amount Failure to seek approval of the Authorized Share Increase via the solicitation of proxies. If there are no shares available in the Share Reserve, the shares may be taken from “Company Use”, “Corporate Use” or any similar type of special Company category. Equiniti Trust Company, LLC or the Company’s current transfer agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and irrevocably directed by the Company to disclose the number of shares available in Company treasury and the “Company Use” or “Corporate Use” category to the Holder upon Holder’s request.

(f) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding other provisions of this Note and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon any conversion due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the "Authorization Failure Shares"), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this section to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under the Note, and the then outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by Fifteen Thousand United States Dollars.

(g) Reserved.

(h) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of commons Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance section 5.18.

(i) Deleted.

(j) Book Entry upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(j) Repayment from Proceeds. While any portion of this Note is outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, including but not limited to, from payment from customers, the issuance of equity or debt, the conversion of outstanding warrants of the Borrower, the issuance of securities pursuant to an equity line of credit of the Borrower or the sale of assets from the date of this Note, the Borrower, shall, within one business day of Borrower’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt, following which the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Borrower to immediately apply all or any portion of such proceeds to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding amounts owed under this Note pursuant to the formulas found in the Optional Redemption Right in section 4.1 of this Note. Failure of the Borrower to comply with this provision shall constitute an Event of Default. In the event that such proceeds are received by the Holder prior to the Maturity Date, the required prepayment shall be subject to Section 1.3 herein.

1.3 Effect of Certain Events. (a) Fundamental Transaction Consent Right. The Borrower shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), unless the Borrower obtains the prior written consent of the Holder to enter into such Fundamental Transaction.

(b) Adjustment Due to Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of this Note, there shall be any Fundamental Transaction that is pre-approved in writing by the Holder pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions.

(c) Distribution. Except for Exempt Issuances, f the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d) Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this section hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustments described above to the Conversion Price shall be permanent (subject to additional adjustments under this section). In the event that Borrower (or any subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then Borrower’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of Lender, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section will increase the Conversion Price.

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (2) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.

Holder shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provision of this section. No prior inability to convert this Note, or to issue shares of Common Stock, pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally to the Holder and, if requested, in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note. Should the Company fail to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities on Company's ability to issue shares of Common Stock, in lieu of any right to convert this Note as described in this section, this shall be deemed an Event of Default. Upon full liquidation by the Holder of all Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, provided that the Holder realizes a net amount from such liquidation equal to less than the total Outstanding Balance of the Note (“Balance”), at the election of the Holder, the Balance less the value of all the Conversion Shares sold shall be added back to the Outstanding Balance of the Note.

For the avoidance of doubt, such increase to the Outstanding Balance shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender under this Note and the other Transaction Documents and shall not be in lieu of, nor deemed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies available to Lender under this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, including without limitation calling an Event of Default if Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of this Note.

The Holder has the full control and discretion to assign or transfer this Note to any transferee without the consent of the Company or have the shares that it converts under this Note sent to any third party at its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company.

Borrower acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Note are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Borrower’s agreements set forth in this section, Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.

5.9 Deleted.

5.10 No Broker-Dealer Acknowledgement. Absent a final adjudication from a court of competent jurisdiction stating otherwise, so long as any obligation of Borrower under this Note, Warrant or the other Transaction Documents is outstanding, the Company shall not state, claim, allege, or in any way assert to any person, institution, or entity, that Holder is currently, or ever has been, a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

5.11 Legal Opinion. Upon request of the Holder, the Company’s counsel shall provide an opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Note, which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. The Company agrees and accepts that any licensed attorney may provide an opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note , which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. The Company further agrees and accepts that their transfer agent shall be able to rely upon any licensed attorney’s legal opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note, which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. If the Company attempts to refuse the legal opinion of a licensed attorney chosen by the Borrower, such refusal shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note.

5.12 Post-Closing Expenses. Any Post-Closing Expenses not paid by the Borrower shall retroactively offset the reduction of the principal balance of this Note that occurs through the conversions. Failure by the Borrower to honor this provision shall be deemed an Event of Default.

5.13 Savings Clause. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provision of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt. If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.

5.14 Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Note or any of the other documents related to this financing, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

5.15 Fees and Charges. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon the Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Note, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, the Holder’s increased risk, and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder, among other reasons. Accordingly, any fees, charges, and interest due under this Note are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not a penalty, and shall not be deemed in any way to limit any other right or remedy Holder may have hereunder, at law or in equity. Each time the Company incorrectly challenges a conversion request or fails to provide the current issued and outstanding to the Noteholder within five business days of the request, the Outstanding Balance of this Note shall increase by two thousand dollars. If within ten business days after the Clearing Date, the Common Stock has a trading price that is lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion, the Conversion price will be reset and reduced to the lowest traded price during that period. The Clearing Date is the date that the shares are in the brokerage account of the Investor and approved for sale by the compliance department of the brokerage firm holding the shares.

5.16 Notice of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock.

The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this section.

5.17 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two business Days of such disputed determination or calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to the Company of the Holder (as the case may be), the Company shall, within two Business Days, submit via email (a) the disputed determination of the conversion price, trading price or other price (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment banks selected by the company and approved by the Holder or to an independent, outside accountant selected by the Holder that is reasonable acceptable to the Company.

5.20 Non-Circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.

Whenever pursuant to this Note, the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note.

If a copy of this Note verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney.

No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Holder may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full. The Company hereby further waives and releases any and all claims or causes of action which the Company might have against any attorney acting under the terms of authority which the Company has granted herein arising out of or connected with the confession of judgment hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Holder shall not exercise its rights with respect to the foregoing power of attorney unless or until an Event of Default has occurred. Neither the Confession of Judgment nor the Investor shall not be bound by Section 5.6 of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused Note to be signed in its name by an authorized officer as of the 23^rd day of October 2023.

Exhibit A

Definitions

“Closing Bid Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), or other applicable primary trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (formally Pink Sheets LLC). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Closing Bid Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Holder in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Note. In the event that a bid price does not exist for one of the twenty days used to calculate the Market Price, of it the Company loses DTC eligibility, or gets "chilled for deposit", then instead of using zero, the Conversion Price shall be .00001.

“Conversion Default Payment” Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Share Delivery Date the Borrower shall pay to the Holder the Conversion Default Payment. Conversion Default Payment shall mean $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Share Delivery Date that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock until the Borrower issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or credits the Holder's account with the Borrower’s transfer agent for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder's and Borrower's expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issue Date). Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, and interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Note are justified.

"Event of Default Effect" shall mean (a) the Outstanding Balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration shall immediately increase to one hundred and twenty five percent of the Outstanding Balance (except with respect to Sections 2(m), 2(n), 2(t), 2(u), 2(w), 2(bb), 2(ll) and 2(mm) and 2(vv), in which case the one hundred and twenty five percent shall be replaced with one hundred and fifty percent) immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Defaultand such increase in the Outstanding Balance shall tack back to the Issuance Date of the Note, (b) this Note shall then accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate which shall be equal to the lesser of twenty four and a half percent per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law during a default on a Note and (c) the “Conversion Price”) shall be equal to seventy percent multiplied by the lower of (i) the lowest intraday trading price in the forty Trading Days prior to the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) the lowest closing bid price in the forty Trading Days prior to the applicable Conversion Date. For purpose of this section, the trading price of the Common Stock shall be the trading price as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the trading price in the over-the-counter market or, if the Common Stock is listed on another stock market or exchange, the trading price on such exchange as reported by www.otcmarkets.com or the Wall Street Journal. For each additional Event of Default there will be an additional five percent discount to the conversion price. Interest calculated hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. The remedies under this note shall be cumulative and automatically added to the principal value of the Note. By acceptance hereof, Holder hereby warrants and represents to Borrower that Holder has no intention of charging a usurious rate of interest. Should any interest or other charges paid by Borrowers result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law, any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by the Holder hereof. Holder shall make adjustments in the Note as applicable, as necessary to ensure that Borrower will not be required to pay further interest in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law. All such excess all be automatically credited against and in reduction of the outstanding principal balance. The Default Effects shall automatically apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default without the need for any party to give any notice or take any other action. The Holder need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind regarding an Event of Default. Further, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Holder may by written notice to the Borrower declare the entire Outstanding Balance immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, immediately and without notice, all outstanding obligations payable by the Borrower hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Transaction Documents to the contrary (“Automatic Acceleration”). The Holder shall retain all rights under this Note and the Transaction Documents, including the ability to convert the then Outstanding Balance of this Note at all times following the occurrence of an Automatic Acceleration until the entire then Outstanding Balance has been paid in full. If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described in the Agreement shall occur, the Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note. The Borrower covenants that until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, the Borrower shall notify Holder in writing within one day of any of the above Events of Default. If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Borrower for its attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

The provisions of this section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note. As a condition to pre-approving any Fundamental Transaction in writing, which approval may be withheld in the Holder’s sole discretion, Holder may require the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) to assume by written instrument all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note and all the other transaction documents with the same effect as if such successor or acquirer had been named as the Borrower hereto and thereto. If Borrower engages in a Fundamental Transaction without the written consent of the Holder, the Fundamental Transaction shall be considered null and void. “Installment Date” shall mean six (6) months after the Issuance Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date.

“Maturity Date” shall mean November __, 2028

The “Non-DWAC Eligible Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the number of applicable Conversion Shares multiplied by the excess, if any, of (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date, over (ii) the Trading Price of the Common Stock on the date the certificated Conversion Shares are freely tradable, clear of any restrictive legend and deposited in the Holder’s brokerage account. In any such case, Holder will use reasonable efforts to timely deposit such certificates in its brokerage account after it receives them and cause such restrictive legends to be removed, and, without limiting any other provision hereof, Borrower agrees to fully cooperate with Holder in accomplishing the same. Any fees charged to Holder for the stock being Non-DWAC Eligible shall be paid by the Borrower. DWAC Eligible Conditions shall mean that the Common Stock is DWAC eligible and can be electronically delivered to the Holder’s Brokerage account.

Securities in a registered direct public offering or an unregistered private placement where the price per share of such securities is fixed concurrently with the execution of definitive documentation relating to the offering or placement, as applicable and securities issued in connection with a non-convertible secured debt financing, shall not be a Prohibited Transaction.

“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time).

“Conversion Adjustments” shall mean if the Borrower issues a convertible promissory note or any instrument, security or agreement with a convertible feature to any Person other than the Holder or its Affiliates which contains a conversion price (the “Third-Party Conversion Price”) which is less than the effective Conversion Price (after giving effect to any shares of Common Stock issued, or issuable, to the Holder or its Affiliates in connection with this Note or any other agreement between the Borrower and the Holder), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Third-Party Conversion Price. The Borrower shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance, transfer or transaction. Holder shall be entitled to deduct the costs from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. In the case that conversion shares are not deliverable by DTC an additional ten percent discount will apply to the Conversion Price; and if the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTC system, or if the Conversion Price is less than one cent at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Outstanding Amount of the Note shall increase by fifteen thousand dollars and an additional ten percent discount shall apply to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this Note. If no objection is delivered from Borrower to Holder regarding any variable or calculation of the conversion notice within twenty-four 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. On the date that is thirty trading days (a “True-Up Date”) from each date Borrower delivers unrestricted Conversion Shares to Holder, there shall be a true-up where Holder shall have the right to require Borrower to deliver to Holder additional Conversion Shares (“True-Up Shares”) if the Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date is less than the Conversion Price used in the applicable Conversion Notice. In such event, Borrower shall deliver to Holder the True-Up Shares in a future Notice of Conversion. The number of True-Up Shares shall be equal to the difference between the number of Conversion Shares originally delivered to Holder pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice and the number of Conversion Shares that would have been delivered to Holder on the True-Up Date based on the Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date is higher than the Conversion Price set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice, then Borrower shall have no obligation to deliver True-Up Shares to Holder, nor shall Holder have any obligation to return any excess Conversion Shares to Borrower under any circumstance. Failure by the Holder to request True-Up Shares in a timely fashion shall not waive the right of the Investor to the True-Up Shares as Investor shall have an evergreen right to receive the True-Up Shares any time after the thirty trading days after a conversion. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Grom Social Enterprises, Inc.

Warrant Shares: 1,514,073, subject to

adjustment as set forth herein.

Issuance Date: [_________], 2023

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Generating Alpha Ltd., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the Issuance Date as set forth above and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth annual anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Grom Social Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) as set forth above. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2.

Section 1. Warrant Shares. This Warrant is issued and entered into pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [_________], by and between the Company and the Holder (the “”Purchase Agreement”).

Section 2. Exercise.

	(a)	Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after Issuance Date and before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days (as defined below) following the date of aforesaid exercise, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price (if the exercise is pursuant to Section 2(b)) for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one Trading Day of delivery of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. For purposes herein, the term “Trading Day” means any day that shares of Common Stock are listed for trading or quotation on any Trading Market.

	(b)	Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $[$1.78/$0.001], subject to adjustment as described herein (as applicable, the “Exercise Price”).

	(c)	Cashless Exercise If the Company fails to have an effective Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares on or before the Effectiveness Date (as defined in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Holder and the Company), the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

Where	X =	the number of Shares to be issued to Buyer.

	Y =	the number of Warrant Shares that the Buyer elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

	A =	the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

	B =	Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, unless the Holder notifies the Company otherwise, if there is no effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c); provided however, that if the automatic exercise contemplated under this Section shall result in a conflict with the beneficial ownership limitations of Section 2(e), the Termination Date shall be extended so long as necessary to provide for full exercise of the Warrant under this Section 2(c).

(d)

Mechanics of Exercise.

(i)Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s then-engaged transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares, by the Holder and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the amount of $2,000.00 per Trading Day. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section 2(d) in immediately available funds, or shares of Common Stock of the Company, in the Holder’s discretion, upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, at any time prior to issuance of such Warrant Shares, to rescind such exercise.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000.00, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.00. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(e)

Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time and the Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or waive the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that any such increase or waiver will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Rights, Adjustments and Revisions to Warrant.

(a)

Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price.

(i)If, during such time that this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock other than in connection with any Exempt Issuance (as defined below) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price (the foregoing, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(a), the following shall be applicable:

	(1)	Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any stock or securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock other than in connection with any Exempt Issuance (“Convertible Securities”) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Exercise Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share, and the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such lower conversion or exercise price. For the purposes of this Section 3(a)(i)(1), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security.

	(2)	Change in Exercise Price or Rate of Conversion. If the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(a)(i)(2), if the terms of any Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(a)(i)(2) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price.

(ii)

(b) Fundamental Transaction.

	(i)	Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates any Fundamental Transaction, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (the “Successor Entity”), of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and any references herein to the “Company”, whether standing alone or as a part of any other defined term, shall be deemed a reference to the successor or acquiring corporation in the Fundamental Transaction, or the Company if it is the surviving corporation, and this Warrant shall be so exercisable with respect to the Successor Entity or the Company, as applicable. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. If so requested by the Company, the Successor Entity or the Holder, each of the Company, the Successor Entity and the Holder shall reasonably cooperate to execute and deliver such agreements and documents as required to effect the intent of the provisions of this Section 3(b) and the other provisions herein.

	(ii)	Holder Election. In the event that a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the full exercise of this Warrant, the Holder, in its sole discretion and as evidenced by written notice to the Company and the Successor Entity, if applicable, at any time shall have the right to elect to cause the Company and the Successor Entity, if applicable, to issue to Holder a new warrant of the Company or the Successor Entity (the “Fundamental Transaction Replacement Warrant”), which Fundamental Transaction Replacement Warrant shall be issued within three business days of such election by Holder, and shall reflect the terms and conditions herein following the effects of this Section 3(b), and the other provisions herein.

	(iii)	Terms of Replacement Warrant. The Fundamental Transaction Replacement Warrant shall be substantially in the form of this Warrant (other than such changes as reasonably required to reflect any Successor Entity as the issuer shall be made), and shall provide for the acquisition of the stock of the Company and the Successor Entity, as applicable. Upon any issuance of the Fundamental Transaction Replacement Warrant, this Warrant shall thereafter be null and void.

(iv)

Purchase at Holder’s Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Board, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the historical volatility function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iv), (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction).

(c)

Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

	(d)	Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments herein, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

	(e)	Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

	(f)	Non-Circumvention. The Company shall not undertake any actions or fail to take any actions which would reasonably be expected to frustrate the intent of this Section 3, and shall take such actions as reasonably required to effect such intent.

	(g)	Voluntary Reduction. The Company may unilaterally reduce the Exercise Price at any time.

	(h)	Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and to the Exercise Price as set forth in each of Section 3(a), Section 3(b) and Section 3(c), and any other adjustment or modification provisions herein, shall each operate independently of each other, and cumulatively.

	(i)	Notice to Holder.

(i)Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to any provision in this Warrant, the Company shall promptly email to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Other Events. If (A) the Company shall undertake any of the actions as set forth in Section 3(d) or Section 3(e), (B) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities; or (C) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, to the extent that such information constitutes material non-public information (as determined in good faith by the Company) the Company shall deliver to the Holder, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

	(a)	Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or its designated agent via email together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

	(b)	New Warrants. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof to the Company via email, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

	(c)	Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

	(a)	Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

	(b)	Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

	(c)	Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant, which number shall be at least 500% of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value; (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. Failure to maintain sufficient shares for exercise of the Warrant, shall constitute an Event of Default under the Purchase Agreement and Holder shall be able to rely on any applicable default remedies thereunder.

	(d)	Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be deemed executed, delivered and performed in Saint Kitts and Nevis (“Nevis”). This Warrant shall be solely and exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nevis without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. The parties hereby warrant and represent that the selection of Nevis law as the sole and exclusive governing law under this Warrant (i) has a reasonable nexus to each of the parties and to the transactions contemplated by the Warrant; and (ii) does not offend any public policy of the Nevis, or of any other jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably and exclusively consents to and expressly agrees that binding arbitration in Nevis conducted by the Arbitrator Conflict Resolution Centre shall be their sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Warrant, Agreement, Irrevocable Instructions or any other agreement between the parties, the Company’s transfer agent or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates, and that the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone or teleconference. If the Arbitrator is not available, a different arbitrator or law firm in Nevis shall be chosen by the Lender and agreed upon by the Company. Company covenants and agrees to provide written notice to Lender via email prior to bringing any action or arbitration action against the Company’s transfer agent or any action against any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement that is related in any way to this Agreement or any of the Exhibits under this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, and further agrees to timely notify Lender to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Agreement are material terms to induce Lender to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this section, Lender would not have entered into the Transaction Documents. In the event that the Lender needs to take action to protect their rights under the Loan, the Lender may commence action in any jurisdiction needed with the understanding that the Agreement shall still be solely and exclusively construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed solely and exclusively by the internal laws of Nevis, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Nevis or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Nevis.

	(e)	Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

	(f)	Non-waiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

	(g)	Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered hereunder shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

	(h)	Limitation of Liability.

Section 2. Registration.

(a)

No later than the Filing Date, the Company shall submit to the SEC a draft registration statement of the form of the Initial Registration Statement, which shall include for registration all of the Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Buyer (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Buyer by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the SEC, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Buyer within one (1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(e).

(b)

Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform the Buyer thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages, provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

(c)

If the managing underwriter with respect to the Registration Statement advises the Company and the Buyer in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Initial Registration Statement, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Initial Registration Statement exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the sale of the Common Stock registered in the Registration Statement, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities to be included therein by the Buyer.

None of the Company’s security holders may include securities of the Company in the Initial Registration Statement.

(d)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages, if the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Buyer, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced (i) first, by reducing the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; and (ii) second, by reducing the Registrable Securities to be included therein by the Buyer. In the event of a cutback pursuant to this Section 2(e), the Company shall give the Buyer at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to the Buyer’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.

(e)

If, for any reason within the reasonable control of the Company (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, and if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without providing the Buyer the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a), the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i); (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective; (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement; or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Buyer is otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive Trading Days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) Trading Days (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii), the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such fifteen (15) calendar day period is exceeded and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) Trading Days period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date thereafter (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) or any pro rata portion thereof, until the applicable Event is cured or sixty (60) calendar days after the applicable Event Date, whichever occurs first, the Company shall pay to the Buyer an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of two and a half percent (2.5%) multiplied by the Purchase Price pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, that the maximum amount payable thereunder shall not exceed 10% of such Purchase Price. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2(f) in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Buyer, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. If the Company fails to pay the above liquidated damages and interest to the Buyer, such amounts will be added to the principal of the Note that the Buyer has with the Company.

[RESERVED]

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to comments by the SEC, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer as an underwriter without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Buyer shall reasonably object in good faith, provided, that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Buyer has been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Buyer has been furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto.

(b)

(i) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Buyer true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to a Registration Statement (provided, that the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Buyer thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(c)

If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case, prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Buyer of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

(d)

The Company shall notify the Buyer (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day: (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Company agrees that the Buyers shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not have any duty to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to trade on the basis of such information.

(e)

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(i)

If requested by the Buyer, the Company shall cooperate with the Buyer to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any the Buyer may request.

(j)

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Buyer in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Buyer shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to any payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(e) for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.

The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, in addition to and not in substitution for, any other indemnification provision by the Company, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, the officers, directors, managers, managing members, members, partners, advisors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), employees, investment advisors and (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any the Buyer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, managers, managing members, members, stockholders, employees, partners, advisors, agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Buyer furnished in writing to the Company by the Buyer expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the Buyer or the Buyer’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Buyer expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d) (iii)-(vi), the use by the Buyer of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified the Buyer in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by the Buyer and prior to the receipt by the Buyer of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). The Company shall notify the Buyer promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Buyer in accordance with Section 7(p).

(b)

Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, employees and advisors, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by Buyer to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by Buyer expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Buyer be greater in amount than the half the dollar amount of the profit they generated on the sale of the stock from the conversion of the Note (net of all expenses paid by Buyer in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages Buyer has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement of material fact) received by Buyer upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

(i)

If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(ii)

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

(iii)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)

Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such Party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such Party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5(d) was available to such Party in accordance with its terms. The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), Buyer shall not be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Buyer from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that the Buyer has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5(d) are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

Section 6. Additional Covenants and Agreements.

(a)

Compliance. Buyer covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

(b)

Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, the Buyer agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), the Buyer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Buyer is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(e).

(c)

Piggy-Back Registrations.

(i)

If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, the Buyer shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities that Buyer requests to be registered (each a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement.

(ii)

The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration if so elected by the Buyer and shall cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. If the Buyer proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through a Piggyback Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters, then it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggyback Registration, and the Buyer also agrees to execute and deliver a customary lock-up agreement if so requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s), pursuant to which the Buyer agrees to customary restrictions on resale of the securities of the Company for a period of 180 days.

(iii)

If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Buyer and other Investors or other persons who are holders of any other shares of Common Stock which are also “Registrable Securities” under an agreement similar to this Agreement (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) the Registrable Securities to be included therein by the Buyer; and (iii) such other holders pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such other holders.

(iv)

The provisions of Section 5 shall apply to any Piggyback Registration.
