11.

Usury Savings Clause.  It is the intention of the Company and the Holder to comply with applicable state and federal usury laws from time to time in effect.  Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note or any other document related hereto, in no event (including, but not limited to, prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation) shall this Note or any such other document require the payment or permit the collection or receipt of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate.  If under any circumstance whatsoever, any provision of this Note or of any other document pertaining hereto shall provide for the payment, collection or receipt of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the Holder shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other document pertaining hereto or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal Amount and accrued Interest outstanding hereunder or on account of any other indebtedness of the Holder to the Company, and not to the payment of Interest, or if such excessive Interest exceeds the unpaid Principal Amount outstanding hereunder and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Company.  In determining whether or not the Interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, under any specified contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Company shall, to the

5

“FORM OF” CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-Principal Amount payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest, (ii) exclude prepayments and the effects thereof, (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of Interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness (including any extension or renewal) so that Interest thereon does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (iv) allocate Interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear Interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable law.  The Holder expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned Interest or finance charges in the event that the maturity of this Note is accelerated.  If at any time the Interest rate set forth in Section 1 hereof exceeds the highest lawful rate, then the rate at which Interest shall accrue hereunder shall automatically be limited to the highest lawful rate, and shall remain at the highest lawful rate until the total amount of Interest accrued hereunder equals the total amount of Interest that would have accrued but for the operation of this sentence.  Thereafter, Interest shall accrue at the Interest rate set forth in Section 1 hereof unless and until such Interest rate again exceeds the highest lawful rate, in which case the immediately preceding sentence shall apply.

12.

No Shareholder Rights. Except as otherwise stated herein, nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or any other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company.

13.

No Violation of Law. This Note may not be converted if its conversion would cause the Company to violate an exemption from registration or would violate any applicable state or federal securities law, any registration under or any requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules of an exchange on which the Company’s securities may be traded, any other federal law, or any state securities laws.

14.

Piggyback Registration Rights. The Company grants the Holder piggyback registration rights for the shares underlying the Note in any registration statement which the Company may file during 2016 or 2017.

15.

Anti-Dilution Rights. Should at any time from the date of making this Note until the conversion of the Note, the Company issue a stock dividend, combine outstanding shares into a lessor number of shares (reverse split) or increase the number of outstanding shares without a receipt of new consideration (forward split) then the number of shares into which the Note may be converted and the conversion price shall be adjusted to reflect such event so that the relative interest of the Holder shall be fully protected from dilution resulting from such an event.  Notice of the required adjustment including the number of shares and the new conversion price shall be promptly mailed to each Holder subsequent to each such adjustment event.  In no event shall the conversion price be more than $0.0065per share of Common Stock.

16.

Headings.  The headings of the sections of this Note are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Note.

17.

Amendments.  This Note shall only be amended, modified or supplemented, and provisions hereof may only be waived, by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Holder and the Company.
