Section 4. Automatic Conversion on Maturity Date.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, unless earlier converted pursuant to Section 3, on the Maturity Date, and immediately prior to this Note being required to be repaid on such date, this Note and all of the Indebtedness outstanding as of such time shall be automatically converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares as is determined by dividing the Indebtedness by the lesser of (i) $0.10 (subject to adjustments as set forth herein, the “Base Maturity Conversion Price”) and (ii) 75% of the VWAP (as defined below).

(b) For purposes herein, “VWAP” shall, for any date, mean the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (1) if the Common Stock is then listed for trading on the OTC Markets or a United States national securities exchange (as applicable, the “Trading Market”), the daily volume weighted average closing price of the Common Stock during the 20 Trading Day period immediately prior to the Maturity Date, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), with equitable adjustments being made for any splits, combinations or dividends relating to the Common Stock, or combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events, that occur during such measurement period, (2) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market, and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc.

For purposes herein, “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Trading Market is generally open for business and on which the Common Stock is then traded.

Section 5. Additional Terms Applicable to all Conversions.

(a) Fractional Shares. Any fractional Conversion Shares resulting from any conversion hereunder may be issued as such fractional shares of Common Stock, may be paid in cash or may be rounded up to the next nearest share of Common Stock, in each case at the election of the Company.

(b) Certain Events. In the event that, prior to any conversion hereunder, the Common Stock is converted into another class of securities of the Company or any successor entity to the Company, whether by way of merger, reorganization, re-incorporation or otherwise (the “Replacement Securities”), any reference herein to the Common Stock (whether standing alone or as part of another defined term herein) automatically upon the consummation of the applicable transaction shall be deemed a reference to such Replacement Securities. In the event that, prior to any conversion hereunder, the Company completes a share exchange with another entity wherein all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for equity interests in the other entity (the “Exchanged Securities”), any reference herein to the Common Stock (whether standing alone or as part of another defined term herein) automatically upon the consummation of the applicable transaction shall be deemed a reference to such Exchanged Securities. Then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of Replacement Securities or Exchanged Securities and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such merger, reorganization, re-incorporation or exchange. In each case, the Base Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted based on a valuation of the Common Stock of $1.00 and the Base Maturity Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted based on a valuation of the Common Stock of $0.10. By way of example and not limitation, in the event of a merger of the Company wherein each share of Common Stock is converted into four shares of common stock of the surviving entity, the Base Conversion Price shall be reduced to $0.25 and the Base Maturity Conversion Price shall be reduced to $0.025.

(c) Adjustment of Base Conversion Price and Base Maturity Conversion Price. The Base Conversion Price and the Base Maturity Conversion Price shall each be subject to proportional and equitable adjustments following the Issue Date for any splits, combinations or dividends relating to the Common Stock, or combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events that occur on or after the Issue Date. By way of example and not limitation, in the event of forward split of the Common Stock following the Issue Date in which each share of Common Stock is converted into two shares of Common Stock, the Base Conversion Price then in effect and the Base Maturity Conversion Price then in effect shall each be reduced by 50%, and in the event of a reverse split of the Common Stock following the Issue Date in which each two shares of Common Stock are converted into one share of Common Stock, the Base Conversion Price then in effect and the Base Maturity Conversion Price then in effect shall each be increased by 100%.

(d) Delivery. Not later than three Business Days after each applicable conversion date (the “Delivery Date”), the Company as soon as permitted under applicable law shall immediately issue (including by way of a share certificate or a direct registration system statement) to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder hereunder in connection with such conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Common Stock is listed or quoted for public trading as of a Delivery Date, the Company may deliver the Conversion Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. In order to effect a conversion of this Note, and as a condition precedent thereto, the Holder shall be required to, and hereby agrees to, execute and join any shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement relating to the Company and its shareholders, or to any successor entity to the Company and its members or shareholders, as requested by the Company.

(e) Surrender of Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon full conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, and as a condition of receiving the Conversion Shares, the Holder shall be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company. Any surrender of this Note to the Company shall be at the offices of the Company at the address as set forth herein and, if so required by the Company, this Note shall be accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by Holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing

(f) Indebtedness. The Company shall maintain records showing the amount of Indebtedness which shall, in the event of any dispute or discrepancy related thereto, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Any surrender of this Note to the Company shall be at the offices of the Company at the address as set forth herein and, if so required by the Company, this Note shall be accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by Holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

(g) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. Subject to withholding of taxes in respect of non-United States persons, the issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(h) Status as Shareholder. Upon issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Holder’s rights as a Holder of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates or other evidence for such Conversion Shares as set out herein and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note.

(i) Registration Rights. The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that the Conversion Shares, if and when issued, shall be subject to the Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into between the Company and the Holder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

(j) Other Registration. The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that the SEC has recently proposed certain amendments to Rule 144 pursuant to the Securities Act, as disclosed by the SEC in Release Nos. 33-10911; 34-90773; File No. S7-24-20, dated as of December 22, 2020 (the “Proposed Rules”), which Proposed Rules, if adopted in the form as proposed, would revise the holding period determination for securities acquired upon the conversion or exchange of certain market-adjustable securities of issuers that do not have securities listed on a national securities exchange, and which rules, if adopted, are currently expected to apply to the Conversion Shares. In the event that the Proposed Rules are adopted as proposed, or in a form which would adversely affect the holding period determination for the Conversion Shares as held by Holder at such time, or which would be or could be issued to Holder in the future, the Company shall utilize its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Conversion Shares to be registered on an appropriate registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act, provided that, as a condition thereof, Holder agrees to execute and delivery such documents and items as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any such registration of the Conversion Shares. The provisions of this Section 5(j) shall not apply as to any Conversion Shares which have previously been registered, or are in the process of being registered, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 6. Events of Default.

(a) For purposes herein, an “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

	(vii)	the Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator; (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of the Company’s creditors; or (iii) commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as now and hereafter in effect, or any successor statute; or

	(viii)	a proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the application or consent of the Company, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its assets or the composition or readjustment of its debts, or (ii) the appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like of any substantial part of its assets, and, in each case, such proceedings or case shall continue undismissed, or an order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and in effect, for a period of 60 days, if in the United States, or 90 days, if outside of the United States; or an order for relief against the Company shall be entered in an involuntary case under any bankruptcy, insolvency, composition, readjustment of debt, liquidation of assets or similar Law of any jurisdiction.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare all, but only all, of the Indebtedness due and payable, and this Note shall thereupon become immediately due and payable in cash.

(c) Notice of Known Events of Default. The Company shall furnish to the Holder a notice of any occurrence of an Event of Default, and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, promptly after such Event of Default becomes known to the Company.

Section 7. Transfer Restrictions. This Note may not be assigned or transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, by Holder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Company and without compliance with the other provisions of this Note, and any purported transfer of this Note in violation of this Section 7 shall be null and void.

(e) On application to the Arbitrator, any Party shall have rights to discovery to the same extent as would be provided under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to any arbitration under this Note; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall limit any discovery or evidence such that his decision shall be rendered within the period referred to in Section 8(c).

(f) The Arbitrator may, at his discretion and at the expense of the Party who will bear the cost of the arbitration, employ experts to assist him in his determinations.

The determination of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Parties and not subject to appeal.

(h) Any judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties expressly consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts (Federal and state) in Los Angeles County, California to enforce any award of the Arbitrator or to render any provisional, temporary, or injunctive relief in connection with or in aid of the Arbitration. The Parties expressly consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the Arbitrator to arbitrate any and all matters to be submitted to arbitration hereunder.

Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Selected Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such Selected Courts, or such Selected Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS NOTE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 10(a).

(c) In no event will any Party be liable to any other Party under or in connection with this Note or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein for special, general, indirect, consequential, or punitive or exemplary damages, including damages for lost profits or lost opportunity, even if the Party sought to be held liable has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Section 11. Indemnification.

(a) By the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold the Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of Holder (each, a “Holder Party”) harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) liabilities, obligations, contingencies, damages, and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any Holder Party may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Note. If any action shall be brought against any Holder Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Note, Holder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Holder Party. Any Holder Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Holder Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of Holder Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim for which a Holder Party seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of Holder Party and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement involves a full and complete release of the applicable Holder Party. The indemnification required by this Section 11(a) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided, however, that the recipient thereof shall execute a customary undertaking to repay any such amounts in the event that such recipient is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) By the Holder. The Holder agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of the Company (each, a “Company Party”, with an Holder Party and Company Party each being referred to as an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from any and all Losses that any such Company Party may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Holder in this Note. If any action shall be brought against any Company Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Note, such Company Party shall promptly notify the Holder in writing, and Holder shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Company Party. Any Company Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Company Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Holder in writing, (ii) the Holder has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company Party and the position of such Holder, in which case the Holder shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Holder shall not settle or compromise any claim for which a Company Party seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of such Company Party and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement involves a full and complete release of the applicable Company Party. The indemnification required by this Section 11(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided, however, that the recipient thereof shall execute a customary undertaking to repay any such amounts in the event that such recipient is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 12. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Note were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that each Party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the proof of actual damages, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy and agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

(c) Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, a new Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of this Note, and of the ownership hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(d) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any Party institutes any action or suit to enforce this Note or to secure relief from any default hereunder or breach hereof, the prevailing Party shall be reimbursed by the losing Party for all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection therewith and in enforcing or collecting any judgment rendered therein.

(e) Severability. If any term or provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or thereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof or thereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, each of the Company and the Holder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision; to delete specific words or phrases; or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision.

(f) Entire Agreement. This Note and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, whether written or oral, of the Parties.

(g) Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Note has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Note. This Note creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the Parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any Party in the construction or interpretation of this Note or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Note or such provision.

(h) Amendment; Waiver. Other than as specifically set forth herein, this Note may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(i) Assignment by the Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Company completes a transaction with another Person or an affiliate of another Person, in which transaction a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are acquired by such Person (“Assignee”), the Company may freely assign this Note and the Registration Rights Agreement to such Assignee and may freely amend the terms of this Note and the Registration Rights Agreement as necessary to effect such amendment and, upon any such assignment the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder provided that assignee assumes all of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder and pursuant to the Note and Registration Rights Agreement.
