(270 calendar days) after the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(d)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock
by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with a form of conversion notice (a “Notice
of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent

applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Company (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
to the Company is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control
in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required

Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of
Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed
in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.
b) Conversion Price.
The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall be equal to one tenth (1/10) of the Stated Value.
c) Mechanics of Conversion.
i. Delivery of Certificate
Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”),
the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the
number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.
ii - iv. [RESERVED]
v. Reservation of Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. The Company covenants
that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
vi. Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to
any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall round
up to the next whole share.
vii. Transfer Taxes.
The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Preferred Stock 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 certificates,
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 certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock
and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates 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.
d) Beneficial Ownership
Limitation. The Company shall not give effect to any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right
to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable
Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with
such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as
defined herein). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder
and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion
of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock or the
Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes
of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination
of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates)
and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be
converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Preferred
Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction,
each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion
has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 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
6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (ii) 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 such 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 the Preferred Stock, by such 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 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder,
upon not less than sixty one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions
of this Section 6(d) applicable to its Preferred Stock and the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall continue to apply. Any such
decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall
only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which
may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein 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 Preferred Stock.
Section 7. RESERVED.
Section 8. RESERVED
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
a) Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any
Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in
writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each
Holder at the facsimile number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile number
or address appears on the books of the Company, at the principal place of business of such Holder, as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i)
the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth in this
Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading
Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing,
if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given.
b) Absolute Obligation.
Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Certificate of Designation shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay liquidated damages, accrued dividends and accrued interest, as applicable,
on the shares of Preferred Stock at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
c) Lost or Mutilated
Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in
lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock so
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate,
and of the ownership hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
d) Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Certificate of Designation shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the state of Nevada, without regard to the principles
of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense
of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting
in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Nevada Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Nevada Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents),
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 Nevada Courts, or such Nevada Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such
party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Certificate of Designation and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Certificate
of Designation or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions
of this Certificate of Designation, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party
for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action
or proceeding.
e) Waiver. Any waiver
by the Company or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed
to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation
or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Company or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate
of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right
thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation on any other occasion.
Any waiver by the Company or a Holder must be in writing.
f) Severability.
If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation
shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable
to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates
the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum
rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
g) Next Trading Day.
Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Trading Day, such payment shall be made on
the next succeeding Trading Day.
h) Headings. The
headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be
deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
i) Status of Converted
or Redeemed Preferred Stock. If any shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such
shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as SERIES
A NON-VOTING CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK.
j) Amendment to Certificate
of Designation. The Company shall not amend this certificate of designation without the express written consent of the Holders
of two-thirds (2/3rd) of the shares of SERIES A NON-VOTING CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK then outstanding.
Reissuance. Any shares of SERIES A NON-VOTING
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption shall be returned to the status of undesignated
and unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation.
