Should the Borrower elect to exercise its Maturity Date Extension, it shall provide written notice to the Lender no less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date (the "Notice Deadline"). If the Borrower fails to notify the Lender of the Maturity Date Extension by the Notice Deadline, it will be deemed that the Maturity Date Extension was not exercised by the Borrower and that the Borrower shall satisfy its obligations under this Note in full by March 30, 2028. The Maturity Date Extension shall be automatically terminated upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event (Section 9) or an Event of Default (Section 10).

Interest shall be compounded annually. The Principal Amount and accrued interest that are past due under this Note shall bear interest at the Interest Rate per annum, payable on demand, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full.

Any Conversion shall be subject to a debt settlement agreement and applicable securities laws. At anytime up to a Conversion event, the Lender shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Borrower in respect of any equity securities unless the Lender exercises its Conversion right.
-
- Bankruptcy. Upon the commencement by or against the Borrower of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar proceeding relating to the Borrower or its debts in any jurisdiction (a "Bankruptcy Event"), the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind.
-

- b. The occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of the Borrower;
- c. The Borrower fails to satisfy its prepayment obligations under Section 5 of this Note; or
- d. The Borrower commits a material breach under the asset purchase agreement dated the date hereof between the Borrower and the Lender, including without limitation, a breach of Section 2.4 (Royalty) under the said asset purchase agreement.

-
- Waiver. The Borrower hereby waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest of this Note. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or a consent thereto; nor shall a single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. All payments under this Note shall be made without counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
