The $1,500,000 was stated as the total amount of available funding in the Equity Purchase Agreement because this was the maximum amount that MHFLP agreed to offer us in funding.

Subject to Completion, Dated November [*], 2022
PROSPECTUS
GZ6G Technologies Corp.
Selling Shareholders
50,000,000 Shares of Common Stock (Mast Hill Fund, L.P. Equity Line)
Equity Line
In November 2021, we entered into a Equity Purchase Agreement with Mast Hill Fund, LP (“MHFLP”, or a “Selling Stockholder”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, MHFLP is committed to purchase, on an unconditional basis, shares of our common stock (the “Put Shares”) at an aggregate price of up to $10,000,000 (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) over the course of its term. The term of the Equity Purchase Agreement will end on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Selling Stockholder has purchased Common Stock pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) two years from the date this Registration Statement is deemed effective, or (iii) written notice of termination by us.
From time to time over the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement, commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering Put Shares becomes effective, we may, in our sole discretion, provide MHFLP with a put notice (each a “Put Notice”) to purchase a specified number of Put Shares (each a “Put Amount Requested”) subject to the limitations discussed below and contained in the Equity Purchase Agreement. Upon delivery of a Put Notice, we must deliver the Put Amount Requested as Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) shares to Selling Stockholder within five trading days.
The actual amount of proceeds we receive pursuant to each Put Notice (each, the “Put Amount”) is determined by multiplying the Put Amount Requested by the applicable purchase price. The purchase price for each of the Put Shares equals 90% of the “Market Price,” which is defined as the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices of our Common Stock during the Valuation Period. The Valuation Period is the seven (7) trading days immediately following the date MHFLP receives the Put Shares in its brokerage account.
In order to deliver a Put Notice, certain conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement must be met. In addition, we are prohibited from delivering a Put Notice if: (i) the sale of Put Shares pursuant to such Put Notice would cause us to issue and sell to Selling Stockholder, or the Selling Stockholder to acquire or purchase, a number of shares of our common stock that, when aggregated with all shares of Common Stock purchased by Selling Stockholder pursuant to all prior Put Notices issued under the Equity Purchase Agreement, would exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount; or (ii) the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants would cause us to issue and sell to Selling Stockholder, or the Selling Stockholder to acquire or purchase, an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would result in Selling Stockholder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation’).
If issued presently, the 50,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by MHFLP would represent approximately 92% of our existing issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of October 28, 2022, which totals 54,578,693, and approximately 48% of the fully diluted outstanding share capital, including issuance of the 50,000,000 shares.
There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the Offering to be completed, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares, which are sold. None of our Officers and Directors will receive commission or any other remuneration for such sales. In offering the securities on our behalf, our Officers and Directors will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the proceeds from the Equity Line for general corporate and working capital purposes and other purposes that the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interest of the Company.
We intend to raise additional capital through equity and debt financings as needed, though there cannot be any assurance that such funds will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.
Our Company is a controlled company as our sole officer and a member of our board of directors owns 100% of our Series B preferred stock and has majority voting rights.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued an audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2021, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, any investment in the shares offered hereby involves a high degree of risk and you should only purchase shares if you can afford a loss of your entire investment.
Our shares are currently trading on the OTCQB Market.
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized any persons to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell, nor is it seeking an offer to buy, these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted. We are a smaller reporting company, as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such we may take advantage of reduced reporting burdens. Investing in our common stock involves risk. Please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7.
THE PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES OFFERED THROUGH THIS PROSPECTUS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE SECTION ENTITLED “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 7 BEFORE BUYING ANY SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

We believe that this Offering will provide us with added flexibility to raise capital in today’s financial climate. We believe that investors in today’s markets demand more transparency. By our registering this Offering and becoming a reporting company, we will provide that transparency to our investors. While we believe that our limited reporting requirements will satisfy most investors seeking transparency in any potential investment, we still caution that simply because we have a registration statement declared effective (when in fact, it does become effective) we will not become a “fully reporting” company, but rather, we will be only subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, unless we subsequently register our shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1943, except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) if we have less than 300 shareholders at the beginning of our fiscal year. Further, our required disclosure is less extensive than the disclosures required of “fully reporting” companies. For example, we are not subject to disclose, in our Form 10K, risk factors, unresolved staff comments, or selected financial data, pursuant to Items 1A, 1B, 6, respectively.
We currently are generating limited revenues. Accordingly, our independent registered public accountants have issued an opinion expressing substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern (please refer to the audit report to the financial statements). Until such time that we are able to establish a consistent flow of revenues from our operations which is sufficient to sustain our operating needs, management intends to rely primarily upon debt and equity financings to supplement cash flows, if any, generated by our services. We will seek out such financing as necessary to allow us to continue to grow our business operations, and to cover such costs, including professional fees, associated with being a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We estimate such costs to be approximately $80,000 for the 12 months following this Offering. We have included such costs to become a publicly reporting company in our targeted expenses for working capital expenses and intend to seek out reasonable loans. Depending upon our growth, the funds raised in the Registration Statement may not be enough to fund operations for the twenty-four months following Effect of this Registration Statement and we may have to seek additional funding.
Our current cash and working capital is not sufficient to cover our current estimated expenses for our planned growth over the next 12 months, including; growing our engineering and marketing team, as well as our sales team; adding key technical software developers, and launching meaningful marketing awareness. However, we do expect that the funds we have received thus far, will allow us to continue our plans for the next six months. Our estimated expenses also include those fees associated with obtaining a Notice of Effectiveness from the SEC for this Registration Statement. We hope that we will be able to secure additional financing, and complete this Offering within the coming months, in order to initiate our marketing and anticipated growth. Upon obtaining effectiveness, we will conduct the Offering contemplated hereby, and anticipate raising sufficient capital from the offering to market and grow our Company. We believe that the maximum amount of funds generated from the Offering will provide us with enough proceeds to fund our plan for marketing and operations for up to twelve months after the completion of the Offering. Assuming we generate only nominal revenues, we will require additional financing to fund our operations during the twelve-month period following the completion of the Offering if all or substantially all of the shares offered hereby are not sold. While our ability to generate revenue is not correlated directly to the number of shares sold by us under the Offering, our potential to generate revenue can be affected by our marketing and advertising strategies and the amount of personnel we employ. These factors are directly related to the amount of proceeds we receive from the Offering, which corresponds to the number of shares we are successful in selling under the Offering (see “Use of Proceeds”). We believe we can begin generating accelerating revenues within the first six months following the successful completion of the Offering. It is unclear how much revenue our operations will generate; however, it is our hope that our revenues will exceed our costs. Our revenues will be impacted by how successful and well-targeted execution of our marketing campaign, the general condition of the economy, and the number of clients we will attract. For a further discussion of our initial operations, plan of operations, growth strategy and marketing strategy see the below section entitled “Description of Business”.
We are neither a “Shell Company” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or a “Blank Check Company” as defined in Rule 419 (a2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have a detailed business plan and business related assets and have no present plans or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an identified company or companies, or other entity or person.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, in the sections captioned “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations,” and elsewhere. Any and all statements contained in this prospectus that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements.

However, not all forward-looking statements may contain one or more of these identifying terms. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, without limitation, statements regarding (i) the plans and objectives of management for future operations, (ii) a projection of income (including income/loss), earnings (including earnings/loss) per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial items, (iii) our future financial performance, including any such statement contained in a discussion and analysis of financial condition by management or in the results of operations included pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and (iv) the assumptions underlying or relating to any statement described in points (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
The forward-looking statements are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events or circumstances and may not be realized because they are based upon our current projections, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and other influences, many of which we have no control over. Actual results and the timing of certain events and circumstances may differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. Factors that may influence or contribute to the inaccuracy of the forward-looking statements or cause actual results to differ materially from expected or desired results may include, without limitation, our inability to obtain adequate financing, related insufficient cash flows and resulting illiquidity, our inability to expand our business, existing or increased competition, results of arbitration and litigation, stock volatility and illiquidity, and our failure to implement our business plans or strategies. A description of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus appears in the section captioned “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties related to them and to the risk factors.

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our Common Stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. Currently, shares of our Common Stock are not publicly traded. In the event that shares of our Common Stock become publicly traded, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In the event our Common Stock fails to become publicly traded you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING
Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the Mast Hill Fund, LP (MHFLP) Equity Purchase Agreement.
The sale of our common stock to MHFLP in accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. Additionally, the issuance of common stock pursuant to the Loan Treaty and subsequent convertible note(s) will have a dilutive impact on our shareholders.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
MHFLP may not have sufficient capital to meet our Put notices.
MHFLP may not have sufficient capital to meet our requests. Additionally, MHFLP may enter into similar arrangements with different companies and if so, the amount of available funds may be significantly less than we anticipate.
We are registering an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the MHFLP Equity Purchase Agreement. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
We are registering an aggregate of MHFLP shares of common stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms pursuant to the MHFLP Equity Purchase Agreement. The sale of these shares into the public market by MHFLP could depress the market price of our common stock. As of October 28, 2022, there were 54,578,693 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Unless we maintain an active trading market for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.
We are a reporting company, and our common shares are quoted on the OTC Market (OTCQB) under the symbol “GZIC”. However, our trading market may not be maintained. Failure to maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):
| ● | the trading volume of our shares; |
| ● | the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; |
| ● | new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors; |
7
| ● | actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; |
| ● | conditions or trends in our business industries; |
| ● | announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; |
| ● | sales of our common stock and |
| ● | general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies. |
Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTCQB (OTC.QB tier) and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
We are a start-up company with a limited operating history and may never be able to carry out our intended operations or achieve any significant revenues or profitability. We are subject to the risks encountered by early stage companies.
Because we have a limited operating history, you should consider and evaluate our operating prospectus in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. For us, these risks include:
| ● | risks that we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy; |
| ● | risks that we may not develop and market our proposed products in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements; |
| ● | risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and |
| ● | risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues. |
These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these and the other risks described in this prospectus. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business would be significantly harmed, and investors may lose their entire investment.
We are a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “smaller reporting companies,” this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior December 31, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

We may not be able to further implement our business strategy unless sufficient funds are raised in this Offering. Our inability to raise additional funds could cause investors to lose their investment. Additionally, we may have to seek additional capital through the sale of additional shares or equity securities, which would result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
We may not realize sufficient proceeds from this Offering to further business development, or to provide adequate cash flow for planned business activities. As at June 30, 2022 we had $215,910 cash on hand and as of December 31, 2021, we had $759,751 cash on hand. We have generated limited revenue from our operations to date. At this rate, we expect that we will not be able to continue operations without obtaining additional funding or beginning to generate significant revenue. Accordingly, we anticipate that additional funding will be needed for general administrative expenses, business development, marketing costs and support materials.
If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Because William Coleman Smith, our sole officer and a director currently owns 100% of our outstanding Preferred Stock, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by William Smith are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
William Coleman Smith, our Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of our Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock, and 100% of the issued and outstanding Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock which authorizes 51% of all voting rights of all classes of shares. Accordingly, William Coleman Smith will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all, or substantially all, of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. While we have no current plans with regard to any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of our assets, the interests of Mr. Smith may still differ from the interests of the other stockholders.
Because the Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock issued to William Coleman Smith, provides for certain rights, preferences, powers, privileges, restrictions, qualifications and limitations, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by William Coleman Smith are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
The Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock has a number of rights, privileges and preferences in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Special 2018 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock filed by us with the Nevada Secretary of State, including the following:
| ● | Voting Rights: The Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock have one vote for each share owned. |
| ● | Adverse Effects: The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal the preferences, rights, powers or other terms of Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock without the written consent of the holder(s) of the Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock. |
| ● | Conversion: The shares of Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into common shares at the rate of 10 new shares for every one share of Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock owned. The holder of the Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock can convert the shares into common shares at any time. |
| ● | Dividends: The Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to any dividends. |
| ● | No Impairment. The Corporation shall not intentionally take any action which would impair the rights and privileges of the Special 2018 Series A Preferred Stock. |
These rights, preferences, powers, privileges, restrictions, qualifications and limitations, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by William Coleman Smith are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
9
Because the Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock issued to William Coleman Smith, provides for certain rights, preferences, powers, privileges, restrictions, qualifications and limitations, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by William Coleman Smith are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
The Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock has a number of rights, privileges and preferences in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Special 2018 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock filed by us with the Nevada Secretary of State, including the following:
| ● | Voting Rights: The Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock stockholder is entitled to 51% of all votes (including, but not limited to, common stock, and preferred stock (including on an as converted basis) entitled to vote at each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation (and written actions of the stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration. |
| ● | Adverse Effects: The Corporation cannot amend, alter, or repeal the preferences, rights, powers or other terms of the Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holder of the Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock. |
| ● | Dividends: The Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends. |
| ● | No Impairment: The Corporation shall not intentionally take any action which would impair the rights and privileges of the Special 2018 Series B Preferred Stock. |
These rights, preferences, powers, privileges, restrictions, qualifications and limitations, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by William Coleman Smith are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
We have the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock and shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,001 shares of preferred stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our common stock or preferred stock that may be convertible into common stock, may have the effect of diluting your investment. Further, any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights, including weighted voting rights, may have the effect of limiting the voting power of holders of our common stock.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have no certainty of achieving or growing revenues in the future and have a working capital deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to generate future revenues will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include general economic conditions, market acceptance of our marketing platform, proposed products and competitive efforts. Due to these factors, we cannot anticipate with any degree of certainty what the revenues will be in future periods. As such, our independent registered public accounting firm have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Their opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. You should consider our independent registered public accountant’s comments when determining if an investment in us is suitable.
You may have limited access to information regarding our business.
As of effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC, which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying (see “Where You Can Find More Information” elsewhere in their prospectus). Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) if we have less than 300 shareholders at the beginning of our fiscal year. We currently have fewer than 300 shareholders and if we continue to have fewer than 300 shareholders, we will be exempt from the filing requirements as required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act and will not be required to file any periodic reports, including Form 10Q and 10K filings, with the SEC subsequent to the Form 10K required for the fiscal year in which our registration statement is effective. Further, disclosures in our Form 10K that we will be required to file for the fiscal year in which our registration statement is effective, is less extensive than the disclosures required of fully reporting companies. Specifically, we are not subject to disclose in our Form 10K risk factors, unresolved staff comments, or selected financial data, pursuant to Items 1A, 1B, 6, respectively. If the reports are not filed or are less extensive than those required of fully reporting companies, the investors will have reduced visibility as to the Company and its financial condition.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
An information security incident, including a cybersecurity breach, could have a negative impact to the Company’s business or reputation.
The extensive information security and cybersecurity threats, which affect companies globally, pose a risk to the security and availability of these IT systems and networks, and the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Company’s sensitive data. The Company continually assesses these threats and makes investments to increase internal protection, detection, and response capabilities, as well as ensure the Company’s third party providers have required capabilities and controls, to address this risk. To date, the Company has not experienced any material impact to the business or operations resulting from information or cybersecurity attacks; however, because of the frequently changing attack techniques, along with the increased volume and sophistication of the attacks, there is the potential for the Company to be adversely impacted. This impact could result in reputational, competitive, operational or other business harm as well as financial costs and regulatory action. The Company maintains cybersecurity insurance in the event of an information security or cyber incident, however, the coverage may not be sufficient to cover all financial losses.
IP and Technology Risks
The extensive IP and technology risks, which affect companies globally, pose a risk to the security of our technology. We have conducted informational presentations with our employees regarding these risks and have security measures in place to detect unauthorized intrusion into our networks and technology.
If our electronic data is compromised our business could be significantly harmed.
If our electronic data is compromised, our business could be significantly harmed. We maintain systems and processes designed to protect this data, but notwithstanding such protective measures, there is a risk of intrusion, cyber-attacks or tampering that could compromise the integrity and privacy of this data. In addition, we provide confidential and proprietary information to our third-party business partners in certain cases where doing so is necessary to conduct our business. While we obtain assurances from those parties that they have systems and processes in place to protect such data, and where applicable, that they will take steps to assure the protections of such data by third parties, nonetheless those partners may also be subject to data intrusion or otherwise compromise the protection of such data. Any compromise of the confidential data of our customers, consumers, suppliers, partners, employees or ourselves, or failure to prevent or mitigate the loss of or damage to this data through breach of our information technology systems or other means could substantially disrupt our operations, and you could lose your entire investment.
Defects or disruptions in our services could diminish demand for our services and subject us to substantial liability.
Because our services are complex and incorporate a variety of hardware, proprietary software and third-party software, our services may have errors or defects that could result in unanticipated downtime for our subscribers and harm to our reputation and our business.
A failure to keep pace with developments in technology could impair our operations or competitive position.
Our business continues to demand the use of sophisticated systems and technology. These systems and technologies must be refined, updated and replaced with more advanced systems on a regular basis in order for us to meet our customers’ demands and expectations. If we are unable to do so on a timely basis or within reasonable cost parameters, or if we are unable to appropriately and timely train our employees to operate any of these new systems, our business could suffer.
11
The COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to mitigate its impact may have an adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition and price of our securities.
The pandemic involving the novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the measures taken to combat it, may have certain and adverse effects on our business. Public health authorities and governments at local, national and international levels have announced various measures to respond to this pandemic. Some measures that directly or indirectly impact our business include:
| ● | voluntary or mandatory quarantines; |
| ● | restrictions on travel; and |
| ● | limiting gatherings of people in public places. |
We have encouraged our contractors and consultants to work remotely when possible and we also have enacted our business continuity plans, including implementing procedures requiring employees to work remotely where possible which may make maintaining our normal level of corporate operations, quality controls and internal controls difficult. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our inventory. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation efforts have also adversely affected our customers’ financial condition, resulting in delayed spending in the venues we serve.
Because of the pandemic, large gatherings, such as in sports venues, concert halls, and at university campuses, have been prohibited, and the need for our Company’s services have been delayed.
As events are rapidly changing, we do not know how long the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures that have been introduced to respond to it will disrupt our operations or the full extent of that disruption. Further, once we are able to restart normal business hours and operations doing so may take time and will involve costs and uncertainty. We also cannot predict how long the effects of COVID-19 and the efforts to contain it will continue to impact our business after the pandemic is under control. Governments could take additional restrictive measures to combat the pandemic that could further impact our business or the economy in the geographies in which we operate.
Our Officers and Directors have limited experience running public companies past the start-up phase.
Although Mr. Smith has over 25 years of experience in running businesses, he lacks experience in running a public company; if you invest in our Company, we may not be able to stay compliant under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and you could lose your entire investment.
Our independent Directors have limited experience running public companies.
The Company appointed two independent Directors on August 6, 2021, and although they collectively have over 50 years of successful business management, neither have run a public company, and so lack the experience that independent directors in other companies may have; if you invest in our Company, these independent directors may have different ideas about running the Company and a conflict could arise between our Officer and Director Cole Smith, and you could lose your entire investment.
Key management personnel may leave us, which could adversely affect the ability of us to continue operations.
We are entirely dependent on the efforts of our sole officer and member of the board of directors William Coleman Smith, because of the time and effort that he devotes to our Company. We risk the loss of Mr. Smith, who provides day-to-day operational leadership as well as visionary leadership. He is in charge of overseeing all development strategies, supervising any/all future personnel, including the sales team, and any consultants or contractors that the Company engages to assist in developing its marketing plan. The loss of him, or other key personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We will seek “key person” life insurance on its key executives; however, we cannot be sure we will be able to obtain such insurance or that we will be able to afford the insurance. Even if we can obtain key person life insurance on acceptable terms, the proceeds of the insurance may not be sufficient to truly replace the loss of the “key person”. Our success will depend on the performance of Mr. Smith, and the ability to retain, as well as attract and motivate other personnel to drive growth.
12
Our Directors and Executive Officers are Directors and Executive Officers of our subsidiary.
Our Directors and Executive Officers are Directors and Executive Officers of Green Zebra Media, our subsidiary. Mr. Smith is the sole director, and officer of Green Zebra Media, holding the positions of Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Director; the interests of Green Zebra Media may require substantial dedication at times and may be detrimental to the business of the Company. Further, Mr. Smith is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Director of ELOC Holding Corp; the interests of ELOC Holding may require substantial dedication at times and may be detrimental to the business of the Company.
Our Executive Officers and Directors have additional business activities and as such are not devoting all of their time to us, which may result in periodic interruptions, or business failure.
Although we do not feel there is a conflict of interest, our Founder, William Coleman Smith, is the President of our subsidiary Green Zebra Media and must balance his time between running the public company, GZ6G Technologies Corp, and the subsidiary, Green Zebra Media. While there are no set minimum hours that he is obligated to work on each of the businesses mentioned above, he spends at least 25 hours on GZ6G Technologies Corp. a week, and at least 25 hours a week on Green Zebra Media. Our operations may be such that decisions need to occur at times when Mr. Smith is unavailable, which may lead to the periodic interruption in the implementation of our business plan. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.
Our Independent Directors have outside interests and full-time jobs and as such may not be able to devote the amount of time necessary to successfully perform their duties as independent directors, which may result in periodic interruptions, or business failure.
Although we do not feel there is a conflict of interest, our Independent Directors will continue to work outside of the Company. While there are no set minimum hours that they are obligated to work on the business of our Company, our operations may be such that decisions need to occur at times when they are unavailable, which may lead to the periodic interruption in the implementation of our business plan. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.
Our current cash flow and access to capital compared to the fees being earned by our CEO and CFO may adversely affect our future performance and operations.
Mr. Smith’s employment agreements provide for payments of $30,000 per month. A company controlled by Mr. Smith, ELOC Holdings Corp. also has a contract with the Company for management fees of $10,000 per month. Currently, amounts charged by ELOC Holdings Corp. are being accrued and deferred until such time that we are in a position, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, to begin making any such payments. However, should we begin generating meaningful revenue or raising funds hereunder, our Board of Directors may determine that such payments should be used to pay currently accrued and deferred salary. Any such decision would negatively affect our cash flows and would adversely affect us.
We have established a global command center staffed by wireless and IT engineers and support technicians managing physical hardware and software in the cloud in order to support client needs.
The command center offers digital leaders scale and agility, to speed the launch of wireless, digital services and data analytics services, and seamlessly connect customers to world class experiences. Our wireless IT network managed services and data center initiative for clients and partners will monitor Wireless IT networks and dispatch technicians as necessary to ensure continuous functionality of our Wi-Fi networks. If we are unable to maintain this global command center, we will be unable to provide the full-service support to our client base and our business could fail.
We have a short operating history in Digital Media and we may not be able to attract and keep sponsors as quickly as larger digital media companies can.
The Company has a short operating history in the Digital Media space of working with national and regional sponsors for Wi-Fi networks, and it may take a longer time to attract, and retain, sponsors than it would for a larger digital media company.
13
We are partly dependent on our partner network company, Lumen Technologies Corp (F/K/A CenturyLink), and its infrastructure.
GZ6G has an approved five-year written Master Service Agreement (MSA) vendor agreement with Lumen Technologies Corp (Lumen) (F/K/A CenturyLink) wherein GZ6G will provide enterprise level smart technology sales and marketing support to help Lumen enterprise sales teams nationally.
The Agreement is non-exclusive with GZ6G acting as a supplier of software, license to use the software, service of the software, packaging and shipping the software, and installation of the software, as well as hosting services for the software.
The Agreement was entered into on June 15, 2018, for a five-year term, automatically renewable in one-year terms, unless terminated by either party, with a one hundred eighty (180) day notice prior to the completion of the current term. Termination may be for convenience or for cause.
Due to existing relationships Lumen has with Venues, Stadiums, and Smart City target markets we are partly dependent on Lumen for introduction and exposure into those target markets. If Lumen decides it wants to sever its relationship with us, it could damage our business, as we may not be able to form the relationships and cultivate partnerships on our own, and it would be detrimental to revenue growth.
We may not be able to hire sufficient support personnel.
We will need to hire personnel on a continuous basis for IT support, installation and network management for the Wi-Fi networks. If it is difficult to hire enough appropriate personnel, the Company may need to hire contract workers or acquire an IT staff to install and manage Wi-Fi networks. The Company will also need to hire sales personnel to address sponsors. If we are unable to hire the appropriate support personnel, our business plan will be damaged, and our business could fail.
GZ6G Technologies will need to raise capital for product development.
We will need future funding to implement our business plan. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising sufficient funding, our business plan may not progress as planned, and our business could fail.
If we are unable to engage the number of experienced staff to run our global command center, our business may fail.
If we cannot engage the experienced staff to run our global command center and service our clients, our business may fail, and you could lose all of your investment.
We have a rapidly evolving business model and our proposed product and services could fail to attract or retain clients or generate revenue.
We have a rapidly evolving business model and are regularly exploring the development of our offerings to our proposed target venue. This is due to the increasing speeds of internet channels and broadbands that frequently update their product information requirements, policies, merchandising strategies and integration specifications causing retailers and manufacturers to have to stay constantly up to speed and revise their online business strategies, product listings and attributes, and business rules, which can be resource-intensive and time-consuming. GZ6G will need to maintain its position in keeping up, and surpassing, other Internet companies with regard to speed and technology. If the product and services we introduce fail to engage venues, we may fail to acquire or retain enough business or generate sufficient revenue or other value to justify our investment, and our business may be materially and adversely affected. Our ability to retain or increase our client base and revenue will depend heavily on our ability to innovate and to create successful technology and marketing tools so that the client is convinced of our necessity.
If we are unable to maintain favorable terms with our venues, our expected gross profit may be adversely affected.
The success of our business depends in part on our ability to retain and increase the number of venues who contract us to serve multiple facets of their wireless internet, digital marketing and IoT. This includes developing a custom digital marketing platform for their company, managing and optimizing their wireless networks. Digital marketing support includes banner and social media advertisements and advertorials, website and shopping portal purchase engagements. The success of our business model is based on the premise that a venue will find our product services so comprehensive, they will contract us to do all of these services with us, instead of finding separate service providers for each facet of their wireless and marketing plan.
14
If our technical and support teams do not meet the needs and expectations of our venues, our business could suffer.
Our business will depend on the effectiveness of our personnel to carry out efficiently and accurately all aspects of a venue’s wireless network platform and marketing plan. Our success depends on our teams to possess the core capabilities and skill sets that help our venues execute on targeted audiences.
Our business is competitive. Competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.
Our success depends on successfully servicing our venues; we will compete with companies who have access to greater amounts of capital, and who have established relationships with a larger base of venues. Because of their size and bargaining power, our competitors may be able to offer their services at lower prices than us in the initial stages of our development. As a result, our operations may be significantly and negatively impacted by our larger, more established competitors.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage the growth of our Company effectively.
We plan to experience average growth in demand for our product and services once we are able to launch our proposed platform. We expect our number of venues to increase once we launch our marketing plan, and we expect our growth to continue for the foreseeable future. The growth and expansion of our product offerings could place significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. We will need to manage multiple relations with our marketing team, technical support team, and our design engineers. To effectively manage our growth, we will need to continually implement operational plans and strategies, improve and expand our infrastructure of people and information systems, and train and manage our team.
Our business will depend on our ability to maintain and scale the network infrastructure necessary to operate our network application; and any significant disruption in service of our information data center or applications could result in a loss of venues.
Venues will access the platform we have created for them through our servers to manage their wireless networks within the venue. Our reputation and ability to acquire, retain and serve our venues will be dependent upon the reliable performance of our proprietary network IoT platform and our servers. Issues within our internal servers, or IoT platform, whether due to system failures, computer viruses or physical or electronic break-ins, could affect the security or availability of our IoT platform, and prevent our venues from accessing their product management.
We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.
We will regard our client lists and any intellectual property we may acquire, i.e., patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, and similar intellectual property that would be critical to our success, and we will rely on trademark, copyright and confidentiality and/or license agreements to protect our proprietary rights. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every area in which our products are made available. Furthermore, regulations governing domain names may not protect our trademarks and similar proprietary rights. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or diminish the value of our patents and other proprietary rights. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using and registering our trademarks, or trademarks that are similar to, or diminish the value of our trademark.
We will be subject to payments-related risks.
We plan to accept payments using wire transfer, checks, PayPal, credit card and debit card. As we offer new payment options to consumers, we may be subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements and fraud. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we will pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower profitability. We will rely on third parties to provide payment-processing services, including the processing of credit cards and debit cards and it could disrupt our business if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us. We will also be subject to payment card association operating rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from consumers or facilitate other types of online payments, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
15
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond our control, including the following:
| ● | Our competitors; |
| ● | Additions or departures of key personnel; |
| ● | Our ability to execute our business plan: |
| ● | Operating results that fall below expectations; and |
| ● | Period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
As a public company, we will incur substantial expenses.
Upon declared effectiveness of this Registration Statement by the SEC, we will become subject to the information and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. The U.S. securities laws require, among other things, review, audit, and public reporting of our financial results, business activities, and other matters. Recent SEC regulation, including regulation enacted as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has also substantially increased the accounting, legal, and other costs related to becoming and remaining an SEC reporting company. If we do not have current information about our Company available to market makers, they will not be able to trade our stock. The public company costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders, will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were privately-held. In addition, we are incurring substantial expenses in connection with the preparation of this Registration Statement. These increased costs may be material and may include the hiring of additional employees and/or the retention of additional advisors and professionals. Our failure to comply with the federal securities laws could result in private or governmental legal action against us and/or our Officers and Director, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and finances, the value of our stock, and the ability of stockholders to resell their stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that investor prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional investors, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the investor’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some investors. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our Common Stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.
16
We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
In addition to the costs of compliance with having our shares listed on the OTCBB and/or OTC Markets, there are substantial penalties that could be imposed upon us if we fail to comply with all regulatory requirements. In particular, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as a smaller reporting company, our management will be required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, beginning with our second annual report, and we will not be required to provide an auditor’s attestation regarding such report. We have not assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting, and we expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification requirements. Additionally, investors should be aware of the risk that management may assess and render the Company’s internal controls ineffective, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of operations.
Our Common Stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.
Our Common Stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share. These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
The elimination of monetary liability against our existing and future directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights our existing and future directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Our Certificate of Incorporation contains specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to us and our stockholders. Further, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our existing and future directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under any employment agreements we may have with our officers and directors. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against existing and future directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against us existing and future directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
We will receive proceeds from our sales of Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Equity Line and upon presentation of “Put Notices” to MHFLP. We intend to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements.
If we require additional funding, we will seek such funds from friends, family, and business acquaintances in order to continue our operations. As with any form of financing, there are uncertainties concerning the availability of such funds on terms acceptable to us, as we have not received any firm commitments or indications of interest from our friends, family members, or business acquaintances regarding potential investments in our Company.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer and sell up to 50,000,000 shares of our common stock to be sold by MHFLP pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. The 50,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by MHFLP represent approximately 92% of our current issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which totals 54,578,693 as of October 28, 2022, and will represent approximately 48% of the fully diluted outstanding common stock assuming all 50,000,000 shares are issued under this Offering.
None of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers. MHFLP will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Certain other selling stockholders may also be deemed to be underwriters. Any profits realized by such selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly. We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of the common stock under the offering contemplated by this prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock. The total number of shares that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the number of shares offered hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
The manner in which the selling stockholders acquired or will acquire shares of our common stock is discussed below under “The Offering.”
The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholder’s account and the number and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of October 28, 2022, through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on 54,578,693 shares of our common stock outstanding as of October 28, 2022.
Unless otherwise set forth below, (a) the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the selling stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, and (b) no selling stockholder had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates. The number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned before the offering is based on information furnished to us or otherwise based on information available to us at the timing of the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

| (1) | Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible debentures currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are counted as outstanding. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of our common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. |
| (2) | Because the selling stockholders may offer and sell all or only some portion of the 50,000,000 shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus and may acquire additional shares of our common stock in the future, we can only estimate the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that any of the selling stockholders will hold upon termination of the offering. |
| (3) | Mast Hill Fund L.P. are prohibited, in their respective agreements, from owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at any one time. |

THE OFFERING
On November 10, 2021, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. (“MHFLP”) Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Equity Purchase Agreement gives us the option to present “Put Notices” to MHFLP, up to $10,000,000 worth of our common stock over the period ending twenty-four months following the Effect of this Registration Statement. The $10,000,000 was stated as the total amount of available funding in the Equity Purchase Agreement because this was the maximum amount that MHFLP agreed to offer us in funding. There is no assurance that the market price of our common stock will increase in the future.
The purchase price of the common stock will be equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the respective Put Date for the duration of the Offering (the “Offering”) for a period of two years from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our Board of Directors for up to an additional ninety (90) days; there is an ownership limit for MHFLP of 4.99%.
On the Put Notice date, we are required to deliver Put shares to MHFLP in an amount (the “Estimated Put Shares”) determined by the amount of funds we request from MHFLP, and MHFLP is required to simultaneously deliver to us, the investment amount indicated on the Put Notice.
MHFLP is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our common stock during the commitment period ending twelve months following the Effect of this Registration Statement. In accordance with Regulation SHO however, sales of our common stock by MHFLP after delivery of a Put Notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased by MHFLP under a Put will not be deemed a short sale.
In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. MHFLP is not required to purchase the Put Shares unless:
| ● | Our registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall have been declared effective. |
| ● | We shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable securities. |
| ● | We shall have filed with the SEC in a timely manner all reports, notices and other documents required. |
As we draw down on the equity line of credit, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by MHFLP. The sale of these shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more puts, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock price. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line of credit.
Neither the Equity Purchase Agreement nor any rights of ours, or MHFLP’s, thereunder may be assigned to any other person.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by us and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares, or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
The Company intends to sell 5,000,000 shares of common stock, to Mast Hill Fund LP, at a purchase price equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the respective Put Date for the duration of the Offering (the “Offering”) for a period of two years from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our Board of Directors for up to an additional ninety (90) days. Once a “Put Notice” is presented to Mast Hill Fund LP, shares will be issued to Mast Hill Fund LP. The Company is registering these shares on behalf of the selling shareholder. The following table sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock being registered for sale, the total consideration paid and the price per share. The table assumes all 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be sold.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING
As of the date of this prospectus, we have 54,578,693 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 5,000,001 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. We are registering an additional 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for sale at the purchase price equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the respective Put Date for the duration of the Offering (the “Offering”) for a period of two years from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our Board of Directors for up to an additional ninety (90) days. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the Offering on the price of the stock.
In connection with the selling efforts in the Offering, neither our officers and directors, nor MHFLP, will register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an Offering of the issuer’s securities. None of our officers and directors are subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. None of our officers and directors will be compensated in connection with his participation in the Offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. None of our officers and directors has been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and each of them is not, nor has been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the Offering, our officers and directors each will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for us, or on our behalf, other than in connection with transactions in securities.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those states only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration, or if qualification requirement is available and with which we have complied. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, we will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when their Registration Statement is effective.
We are subject to Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Regulation M governs activities of underwriters, issuers, selling security holders and others in connection with offerings of securities. Regulation M prohibits distribution participants and their affiliated purchasers from bidding for, purchasing or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase the securities being distributed. In connection with the offer and sale of the shares being offered, our officers and directors will comply with Regulation M.
Penny Stock Regulation
Our Common Shares are considered Penny Stocks. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
| ● | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
| ● | contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties; |
| ● | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
| ● | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
| ● | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and, |
| ● | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. |
The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock:
| ● | bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
| ● | details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
| ● | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and, |
| ● | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. |
21
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

(“GZ6G”, “we” or the “Company”) is an emerging smart city technology growth company that provides wireless and monetization enterprise level smart solutions to cities and large venues that require multiple types of products, services and third-party solutions to fulfill client needs. We were incorporated in Nevada on December 23, 2003, and are headquartered at 1 Technology Drive, Bldg B, Irvine, CA 92618, Suite no. B123.
The city of West Des Moines, Iowa’s new Recplex sport venue project, was a new development when the five-year Agreement with Lumen was signed. The Company finalized the wireless hardware installation to recognize $130k in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021. IT sponsorship managed service revenue will begin as the West Des Moines Recplex opens for the public.
In July 2022, the Company signed an exclusive, strategic partnership with MLB team, the Texas Rangers.
Green Zebra will be managing sponsorship opportunities within the venue across IPTV (internet protocol television) and fans’ mobile devices during live games and other events. When a stadium guest logs into the venue’s Wi-Fi network, Green Zebra’s interface launches to provide fans with quick and secure Internet access on their mobile devices including relevant messaging, such as food and merchandise discounts, and urgent updates such as stadium or security information across the venue’s IPTVs.
In addition, sponsorship opportunities are provided across Wi-Fi networks operated through Green Zebra’s managed service solutions. This allows for a smart connected ecosystem and monetization prospects for sponsors to promote their brand to a captive audience. Green Zebra will manage the networks within the live event facilities and their respective Wi-Fi networks and redirect web pages enabling sponsor ads to be seen across diverse platforms.
In September, the Company’s GZ Networks division entered into an engagement agreement with an Orange County, California-based real estate chain, RE/MAX, as its IT service provider. This Orange County engagement will provide an opportunity to service other RE/MAX locations as the environment is similar office to office. This new partnership is one of several opportunities GZ Networks has been cultivating for small to medium size businesses (SMBs).
The initial focus on the Southern California region gives the GZ Networks senior management team the opportunity to train and prepare team members for enterprise accounts. With a quickly expanding roster of potential clients for enterprise accounts, GZ6G and GZ Networks are working quickly to enhance in-house expertise as an IT service provider in order to prepare for larger enterprise accounts as the opportunities arise.
Along with IT services offered to clients, GZ Networks offers a package of robust security services intended to protect sensitive customer and staff data from cyber-attacks for key service providers such as law offices, bank buildings, hotels, bars, and restaurants. The GZ Networks team of business advisors examine current business structures in place and provide analysis and suggestions to secure and optimize networks. HIPAA compliance allows further security where needed for hospitals, doctor’s offices, and healthcare facilities to safeguard patient data.
Green Zebra Smart Networks opened its new technology managed service center in Irvine, California to support monthly recurring revenue for enterprise accounts. In addition, the office has hired staff to sell remote IT networking services to small to medium companies that require an outsourced IT networking solution. The office is currently working with minimal staff due to the effects of COVID 19 and is expected to be fully operational by the third quarter of 2022. Costs for staffing and equipping this office has been approximately $700,000. We will continue to hire staff as needed and as funds are available; however, the office currently is equipped with the necessary hardware and software, including state of the art security measures, in order to use this office as the Company’s showroom.

A wireless Internet of Things (IoT) technology company and its subsidiaries and divisions, GZ6G Technologies Corp (GZ6G) is focused on acquiring, developing and overseeing innovative wireless IoT technology companies for the emerging 5G and Wi-Fi6 marketplaces, including target markets such as stadiums, airports, universities, racetracks, casinos, and smart city projects.
Our controlled subsidiary, Green Zebra Media Corp (GZMC) is one such innovative provider of wireless hardware gateways, communications, marketing and sponsorship, data analytics platforms and CRM technology. Our products are used for stadiums, cities, airports, universities and hospitality markets.
The focus of our operations in fiscal 2021, were contracts which can most efficiently, and cost effectively, bring revenue generating operations through partnerships with venues and industries that must adapt to the new 5G and WiFi6 environment. Beyond that, GZ6G and controlled entities are establishing a global command center to offer our customer base scale and agility, speed the launch of wireless, digital services and data analytics services, and seamlessly connect customers to world class experiences. It is our intent that wireless IT network managed services and data center initiative for clients and partners will monitor cutting edge Wireless IT networks with the ability to dispatch technicians as necessary to ensure continuous functionality of our Wi-Fi networks.
The use of Wi-Fi networks in high-density areas is the most efficient manner to ensure consistent wireless connectivity. Two trends are converging today to propel upgrades and new deployments of Wi-Fi networks, including 5G and WiFi6. First, consumer demand for wireless connectivity continues to grow, overwhelming many wireless and Wi-Fi networks. Secondly, many large entities are seeking new digital media avenues to obtain exposure to target markets through online ‘impressions’, particularly when they have access to a captive audience. GZ6G is uniquely positioned to facilitate the convergence of these two trends. Additionally, GZ6G is developing future Wi-Fi networks that can integrate the Internet of Things (IoT) and significantly enhance network utility and user experiences.
The greater use of wireless devices (smartphones, tablets) and the emergence of IoT places has increased demand even further on wireless networks. Large network companies promote the 5G network deployment, but there are limitations to its effectiveness, particularly in high-density areas. Wi-Fi networks remain the best network deployment plan for airports, businesses, universities, transport hubs and city locations where there are high-density network demands.
Existing Wi-Fi technology can significantly improve wireless performance at airports, transport hubs, convention centers, resorts, and stadiums. The future of Wi-Fi is even more exciting. New developments by GZ6G will significantly enhance network throughput and allow for apps to reside on a venue’s network rather than the cloud. The result is much faster response and the ability to customize apps to serve local businesses, communities and users of the network.
The GZ6G total solution turns the Wi-Fi cost center into a revenue center by (a) deploying a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi broadcast network with customized software for enhanced user experience and (b) obtaining sponsors who desire exposure to consumers and businesses in high-density areas. This combination can easily justify Wi-Fi network deployment today.
Additionally, GZ6G plans to vertically integrate its operational model, providing both software and hardware as well as full support services to its customer base.
GZ6G is installing Wi-Fi networks in high-density use areas and is partnering with other technology companies and host entities (stadiums, universities, airports, resorts) for the GZ6G total solution. GZ6G has established strategic relationships with (a) network companies that are pitching the GZ6G solution; (b) established Wi-Fi networks that need upgrading; and (c) a range of potential sponsors in a variety of industries.
The Company has generated limited revenue and we have not yet finished executing contracts; however, we are in negotiations with two different large venues and one small Enterprise client that we hope to finalize in the first quarter of 2022; revenues will not be generated from these projects until the installation of our products are complete; mid 2022.
The Company currently has four divisions that will implement actions to correspond with the above services.

Industry Overview
Wi-Fi technology enables wireless users to use internet and telecom services in a high-density environment. Without Wi-Fi in areas where there is a high concentration of wireless users, response time degrades, phone calls get ‘dropped,’ internet connectivity may be intermittent and user experience suffers. For this reason, Wi-Fi deployment is critical for internet and telecom networks in many geographical footprints.
The market for Wi-Fi equipment worldwide is expected to grow to $15.6 billion by 2022, according to industry research by MarketsandMarkets, Inc. This describes a compound annual growth of 21.2% through 2022. Such growth is driven by the use of wireless devices including smart phones, tablets and development of the IoT market. Approximately 67% of the worldwide wireless equipment market is in the US. MarketWatch reports the Global Wireless Connectivity market, including chips and devices will reach $31.8 billion by 2022.
The primary drivers for the deployment of Wi-Fi networks are increasing bandwidth demand from businesses, universities, smart city projects, and consumers. With the integration of more images and videos for internet users, demand for greater network bandwidth increases. The weakest link in broadband networks is the wireless connection to the end user. The latest Wi-Fi network technologies address this weak link in a cost-effective manner.
The primary constraints to deploying Wi-Fi networks has been poor-user experiences in high-density areas, security and privacy concerns. Users with multiple applications on smart phones, or with multiple devices (smart phone and tablet or laptop) place high demands on wireless networks. Bandwidth intensive applications that include video and GPS create greater demands on wireless networks.
How does the host/network manager (airport, smart city, business, university) of Wi-Fi decide to improve network capabilities? Wi-Fi networks provide critical connectivity services to users, and bandwidth demand from users creates the need to upgrade the networks. Security on Wi-Fi networks is improving, but bandwidth is lacking. Wi-Fi network users are demanding more bandwidth while traveling, when at sporting events, when spending time ‘downtown’ or in commercial districts, and when at resorts, or on university campuses.
Current Operations
GZ6G provides a total solution for high-density use areas with:
(1) state of the art Wi-Fi hardware deployment to address the requirements of all wireless users, in a specific venue
(2) custom software that enables an enhanced user experience and secure, easy network access
(3) ability to integrate security system or expand Wi-Fi footprint
31
(4) automatic portals for any device in the area
(5) the ability to monetize the Wi-Fi network deployment for the host entity.
GZ6G Technologies Target Markets
GZ6G is focusing on high-density use venues where (1) internet connectivity demand is high and likely to grow, (2) the host venue recognizes the benefit of providing Wi-Fi broadcasting service, and (3) venues where sponsors are interested in consumer exposure. The target venues include universities, professional sports stadiums and racetracks, airports, resorts and smart-city projects.
Hardware and Software Solutions Today
GZ6G Technologies installs state-of-the-art Wi-Fi equipment designed to meet the projected high-density use demands for the location. Equipment manufacturers may include Cisco, Cradle Point, D-Link, Juniper, Linksys. Software may include products that are customizable from Brick & Mobile, Cloud4Wi, Purple Wifi, Panasonic, Socifi, Tanaza.
Wi-Fi network installation is customized to ensure the correct internet connectivity and speed is available throughout the venue. GZ6G has developed the software tools that are customized for the host/network manager to easily manage the network through the use of dashboards, which may include integrating additional components such as a security system. The software tools (broadcasting system) allow for the host to create pop up notices to remind users of important items regarding safety, first aid, ancillary services and special offers. The network manager gathers data to understand characteristics of user demands on the network. The host/network venue manager may also design features which provide information to users to enhance their time while in the area, such as discounts to affiliated stores or restaurants, notices of services at the facility such as food outlets, retail items, special benefits to repeat customers, or notice of where emergency healthcare is available. The host venue can customize the user interface on the network and as new supplementary services become available, such as a new food venue or new emergency management procedures, the customer interface can be changed.
Company Offerings
GZ6G Technologies focus on leading wireless marketing & CRM technology smart solutions provider, offering closed loop security gateways, wireless marketing and sponsorship CRM platform solutions, and deep data analytic solutions for the hospitality, stadiums, airports, universities, and cities. This customized approach to marketing will allow clients to elevate the interaction between the venue and the consumers on their platform.

GZ6G Technologies envisions the creation of wireless ‘fiber-speed’ networks to meet the demands of wireless consumers and businesses. High-speed wireless networks enable the establishment of Wi-Fi networks in any location to meet demands of wireless users, and expand the content capabilities of hosts and sponsors, regardless of the distance to fiber rings.
GZ6G is an IoT company made up of four different supportive channels:
| ● | Infrastructure |
| ● | Software Development |
| ● | Cyber Security |
| ● | Data Management |
We are in the process of developing a global command center that will allow us to monitor all of our venues in one central place. We will have technical engineers available in case any of the networks go down in any of the venues at any time. We will be able to remotely navigate any issues arising at the venues so that service will be virtually uninterrupted.
Practice areas can either function independently to address a client’s specific functional IoT needs, or be combined to provide brands with a holistic service offering that will handle all of their needs.
From banner and social media advertisements and advertorials, to website and shopping portal purchase engagements, and product procurement, we will support venues in all of their touch points and engagement opportunities with their end audience.
We will offer the following core services:
We define venue as our target client, it can be a point of interest within a city, or it could be the city itself. Venues are a specific geographical location, such as a city, airport, university, stadium, racetrack, casino, or hospitality location (trade center, hotel etc.). When a venue connects to the network it is called a closed loop communication solution.
Qualify – Our infrastructure team goes into a new venue to ensure that they have the right infrastructure or bandwidth in place. This also means the team will be looking at whether the venue has the appropriate Wi-Fi capabilities in place, so the equipment will sync. Qualify also means that an evaluation has been completed to ensure that the venue has the correct Wi-Fi speed so marketing materials such as videos, graphics and content will present itself correctly.
The new GZ6G Wi-Fi broadcast network facilitates the Internet of Things to function in a way that it was projected to do years ago. Several possibilities with Wi-Fi apps are as follows:
| ● | Instantly receive best location for emergency first aid with a selected route, walking or driving. Information on where closest drinking fountain, first aid station, among other things, is located. |
| ● | Police can receive optimal path to particular location and control any security cameras in different locations. |
| ● | Consumers receive information on where street parking is available in real time and which parking structures have spaces available. |
| ● | Travelers can be notified of flight changes, allowing more restaurant time. |
| ● | Real time information on shortest food lines at a stadium. |
| ● | 3-D images of museum, real-time information on lines at any venue. |
| ● | Cameras showing crowd at outdoor restaurant or parks. Control of access can change. |
| ● | Security system cameras only available to certain parties such as police or other security personnel. |
| ● | Short term restaurant or store specials when customer traffic is low. |
All of this and more is possible with apps that do not require downloads from the cloud. It’s all available instantly because it is on the venue network. Each venue network can control which apps are available to which group of users, such that security cameras can be available to a select group. The possible apps are endless, and each venue network can customize its network page as it sees fit.
35
Our team will possess core capabilities and skill sets that help our clients execute on targeted growth plans that tap into the trillion-dollar tech market. We will serve clients across a wide range of industries and geographies.
Our growth will be through a multi-prong plan: (1) growing an in-house sales team; (2) leveraging strategic partners who are advisors to decision makers and owners of companies and will be conduits for introductions; and (3) client referrals.
We will build a core team of product developers, creative designers, sales professionals and account managers under each practice area to service existing and new clients. Our philosophy is to develop “repeatable” software platforms around common business needs that can be productized to allow for us to scale development of new projects and grow revenues without relying on building large development teams.
Our expertise is IoT; we will help companies become relevant, agile and competitive in a global consumer commerce environment. We will offer the ability for worldwide marketing and advertising through our developed software and available wifi at our venues. Consumers want to be able to shop, among other things, anytime and anywhere, and on any device; our expertise allows for us to put our brands right in front of this consumer activity.
The global information technology industry is experiencing global growth and US companies have to be prepared to be competitive on a global marketplace.
The next generation Wi-Fi broadcast networks will bring fiber-like bandwidth capabilities to a wireless network. Additional benefits of the GZ6G Wi-Fi broadcast network development is the ability to (a) wirelessly connect to fiber that may be at a distance from the facility, and (b) install high-speed bandwidth wireless to serve a community at a lower cost and much shorter deployment timeframe compared to fiber installations.

Marketing Strategy
We plan to market directly to sports arenas, concert venues, universities, racetracks, casinos, and to smart cities using our existing relationships as well as deploying a number of popular online marketing tactics. Additionally, we will be leveraging strategic partners who are advisors to decision makers, and owners of companies, and who will be conduits for introductions and client referrals.
GZ6G has relationships with national and regional Fortune 500 entities that are seeking targeted methods to reach existing and potential customers. These sponsors include commercial enterprises that desire to advertise or collect analytic data on users in high-density locations. National sponsors include the major network carriers, auto manufacturers, airlines, casinos, grocery stores, online retail, consumer discretionary goods and restaurant chains. Many of these seek exposure to consumers in specific areas.
With selective Wi-Fi markets, a sponsor can more effectively deploy advertising budgets. Local restaurants can advertise specials at football games. Casinos or restaurants can advertise to airport customers or smart-city users. Host entities can identify food specials at certain times when lines are low. Airports could provide flight updates in real time with notices to fliers that log in on their flight.
As the GZ6G network installation base grows, the Company will have the ability to offer sponsors a variety of venues for exposure.

Plan of Operation:
We are an emerging smart city technology growth company that provides wireless and monetization enterprise level smart solutions to cities and large venues that require multiple types of products, services and third-party solutions to fulfill client needs. To date we have generated modest revenues from operations, and while we have various contracts in place for future development, there is no assurance of future revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has been in the start-up phase and has generated modest revenues from its operations, and while we have various contracts in place for future development, there is no assurance of future revenues. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $215,910 (December 31, 2021- $759,791) and an accumulated deficit of $22,516,357 (December 31, 2021 - $16,092,531).
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into various loan treaties, convertible notes and other financing arrangements through which we received net cash proceeds of $2,108,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company received net cash proceeds of $885,250 by way of a series of convertible promissory notes and $250,000 in the form of related party loans. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022/23 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements. In addition to the remaining funding which may be provided to the Company under various loan treaty agreements, the Company filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement which allow for total funding of up to $15,000,000, both of which have been deemed effective. Up to June 30, 2022 the Company has received funding under these equity lines of $136,029. There is no guarantee the Company will continue to receive financing as required.
Covid-19 Pandemic
The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our existing sponsorship and revenue agreements. To date, the implementation of services under certain of these agreements have experienced delays as a result of the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may also impact our ability to raise additional capital. During March 2020, we gave notice of furlough to our administrative support employees in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluated our business development efforts during that period. In April 2020, the Company received a grant of $6,000 and in May 2020 we received a PPP loan and an SBA loan in the approximate cumulative amount of $90,000 for operations. With the recently negotiated financing the Company is currently reopening offices and has commenced the hiring of additional staff as well as the upgrading of infrastructure requirements to meet anticipated customer needs. While recent progress in the battle against COVID leads us to believe that the worst of the effects of the pandemic are past, we cannot say with certainty that the situation will not change. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is highly uncertain and still subject to change. While significant uncertainty remains, despite the fact that the Company has been able to source financing, it remains that the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative impact on continuing funding and its ability to work through its collaborative development efforts with industry partners, and in acquiring venues due to the continuing impact of COVID 19. To mitigate impact the Company is currently focusing its efforts on contracts in the wireless and cellular telecommunications segment, as well as the infrastructure components of its existing contracts to allow for continuity and forward momentum.

Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into various loan treaties, convertible notes and other financing arrangements through which we received net cash proceeds of $2,108,000. During the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company received net cash proceeds of $885,250 by way of a series of convertible promissory notes and $250,000 in the form of related party loans. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $11,150,135 with approximately $215,910 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $22,516,357. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements. In addition to the remaining funding which may be provided to the Company under various loan treaty agreements, the Company filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement which allow for total funding of up to $15,000,000, both of which have been deemed effective. Up to June 30, 2022, the Company has received funding under these equity lines of $136,029. There is no guarantee the Company will continue to receive financing as required. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in the Notes to our Financial Statements.
Research and Development Costs
We charge research and development costs to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730-Research and Development, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. These amounts are not reflected in the reported research and development expenses in each of the respective periods but are included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales in each of the respective periods. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 we expended $NIL and $5,200 on research and development costs, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, non-employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.
47
Stock Settled Debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of $8,680,783 and $8,320,525 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The update also provides for expanded disclosure requirements to increase transparency. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer.
Director Independence
Our board of directors is currently composed of three members, two of whom qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to our management and us.
Security Holders Recommendations to Board of Directors
We welcome comments and questions from our shareholders. Shareholders can direct communications to our Investor Relations team. However, while we appreciate all comments from shareholders, we may not be able to individually respond to all communications. We attempt to address shareholder questions and concerns in our press releases and documents filed with the SEC so that all shareholders have access to information about us at the same time. All communications addressed to our Director and Executive Officers will be reviewed by the appropriate Officer unless the communication is clearly frivolous.
Board Committees
We have recently formed an audit committee, consisting of our three board members, two of whom are independent. We do not have any other board committees including a nominating, compensation, or executive committee. We currently have limited operating revenues. Presently, we have two independent directors. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations in the future, then we will likely seek out and retain additional independent directors with additional financial expertise and expect to form, compensation, and other applicable committees. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. Our directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees.
Our board is actively involved in our risk oversight function and collectively undertakes risk oversight as part of our monthly management meetings. This review of our risk tolerances includes, but is not limited to, financial, legal and operational risks and other risks concerning our reputation and ethical standards.
Given our size, we do not have a nominating committee or a diversity policy. Our entire board monitors and assesses the need for and qualifications of additional directors. We may adopt a diversity policy in the future in connection with our anticipated growth.
Long-Term Incentive Plans
We do not have a Long-Term Incentive Plan that involves ongoing Restricted Stock and Stock Option grants of which are performance based. We have not issued any Stock Option grants.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GZ6G Technologies Corp. (formerly Green Zebra International Corp.) (the “Company” or “GZ6G”) is a complete enterprise smart solutions provider for large venues and cities. Focused on acquiring smart city solutions, developing innovative products, and overseeing smart cities and smart venues, GZ6G also assists in modernizing clients with innovative wireless IoT technology for the emerging 5G and Wi-Fi 6 marketplaces. Target markets include stadiums, airports, universities, and smart city projects. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada and has offices in California and Nevada.
In November 2018, the Company changed its name from NanoSensors, Inc. to Green Zebra International Corp. following a merger with Green Zebra Media Corp., a Delaware corporation, under common control.
The Board of Directors approved a name change and a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of 200 to 1 on December 18, 2019. The accompanying financial statements, and all share and per share information contained herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. On December 20, 2019, the Company changed its name from Green Zebra International Corp. to GZ6G Technologies Corp.
On August 6, 2021, Mr. William Ray Procanik and Mr. Brian Scott Hale were appointed to the Company’s board of directors and concurrently the Company formed an audit committee, which each of Mr. Hale and Mr. Procanik joined, serving as independent board members. Concurrently the Company completed an application for an uplist to the OTCQB and submitted the required disclosure through OTCMarkets. The Company was approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on October 25, 2021.
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into various loan treaties, convertible notes and other financing arrangements through which we received net cash proceeds of $2,108,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company received net cash proceeds of $885,250 by way of a series of convertible promissory notes and $250,000 in the form of related party loans. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $11,150,135 with approximately $215,910 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $22,516,357. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements. In addition to the remaining funding which may be provided to the Company under various loan treaty agreements, the Company filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement which allow for total funding of up to $15,000,000, both of which have been deemed effective. Up to June 30, 2022 the Company has received funding under these equity lines of $136,029. There is no guarantee the Company will continue to receive financing as required. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)
Covid-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our existing sponsorship and revenue agreements. During 2021 the implementation of services under certain of our installation agreements experienced delays as a result of the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may also continue to impact our ability to raise additional capital. During March 2020, we gave notice of furlough to our administrative support employees in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluate our business development efforts in the coming months. In April 2020, the Company received a grant of $6,000 and in May 2020 we received a PPP loan and an SBA loan in the approximate cumulative amount of $90,000 for operations. During early 2022 the Company reopened its offices and continued with the hiring of additional staff as well as the upgrading of infrastructure requirements to meet anticipated customer requirements for 2022. While recent progress in the battle against COVID leads us to believe that the worst of the effects of the pandemic are past, we cannot say with certainty that the situation will not change. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is highly uncertain and still subject to change. While significant uncertainty remains, despite the fact that the Company has been able to source financing, it remains that the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative impact on its ability to work through its collaborative development efforts with industry partners, and in acquiring venues due to the continuing impact of COVID 19, in particular as a result of the impact to the global supply chain.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2022.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GZ6G Technology Corp. and its 60% controlled subsidiary, Green Zebra Media Corp. (“GZMC’), as of June 30, 2022. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Research and Development Costs
We charge research and development costs to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730-Research and Development, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. These amounts are not reflected in the reported research and development expenses in each of the respective periods but are included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales in each of the respective periods.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this standard is that a company should record revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and service-based contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
We earn revenue from both digital marketing and the sale of WiFi and communication solutions to customers around the world. Revenue is earned from sales of our WiFi media platform and our WiFi monetization hardware (GZ Media hub) embedded with GZ software to create monetization and communication solutions for our customers. Our sales can consist of any one or a combination of items required by our customer including hardware, technology platforms and related support. We also enter into licensing contracts which provide for revenue based on licensing fees and revenue sharing with our licensees.
As we expand, we expect a large portion of our revenue from our digital communication solutions to be derived from service-based contracts where we expect to recognize a significant portion of our contracts over time, as there is a continuous delivery of services to the customer over the contractual period of performance. These contracts may or may not include fixed payments for services over time and/or commission-based fees.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
Direct costs are expected to include materials, labor and overhead to be charged to work-in-progress (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Indirect costs relating to long-term contracts, are expected to include expenses such as general and administrative charges, and other costs will be charged to expense as incurred and will not be included in our work-in-process (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Total estimates are expected to be reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become evident. If we do not accurately estimate the total sales, related costs and progress towards completion on our long-term contracts, the estimated gross margins may be significantly impacted, or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, certain of our contracts will include termination for convenience or non-performance clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract. Such terminations could impact the assumptions regarding total contract revenues and expenses utilized in recognizing profit under those contracts where we apply the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. As we fully implement our business model, our inability to perform on our long-term contracts could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, non-employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.
Debt Issue Costs
The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense.
Original Issue Discount
If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Stock Settled Debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of $8,680,783 and $8,320,525 for the value of the stock settled debt with respect to certain convertible notes (see Note 6).

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 – Topic 842 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that most leases be recognized on the financial statements, specifically the recognition of right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities, and enhanced disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share for the periods ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at each reporting period which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share:
| June 30, 2022 | June 30, 2021 | |||||||
| Convertible Notes | 23,691,779 | 4,871,812 | ||||||

| Total | 76,093,933 | 54,871,812 | ||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The update also provides for expanded disclosure requirements to increase transparency. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

NOTE 6: DEBT
Loan Treaty Agreement
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Treaty Agreement with a third party (“Treaty Agreement”) whereby the lender agreed to provide a loan in the amount of up to $450,000 to the Company in $25,000 tranches, deposited weekly, memorialized by promissory notes in increments of $100,000. Each amount deposited has a term of 12 months for repayment and shall bear an interest rate of 8% per annum. In addition, at the option of the Lender, each $25,000 loaned to the Company may be converted into common shares at a 25% discount to the market price at the close of business on November 23, 2020 ($0.26 x 75% = $0.195); or $0.195 per share.

NOTE 7: CUSTOMER DEPOSITS, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
The Company generates revenue from contracts which, among other services, provide wireless and digital promotion rights for certain events including WiFi media network advertising rights, and the development of smart venue wireless networks and software engagement technology products for airports, stadiums, campuses, cities and other venues in the United States and International markets. In general, our contracts require several months of implementation which is charged at a fixed rate, followed by monthly maintenance and management services, ad hoc fixed rate services, and a share in advertising revenue, when applicable. As a result, the Company will accept deposits from customers, which deposits are applied as each stage of our implementation is complete or under the terms of the service contract. Invoices issued to customers for the implementation phase of our contracts are due and payable when issued, however, as the associated scope of services have not yet been concluded, these invoices do not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria required to report these amounts as earned revenue (ref: Note 2 – Revenue Recognition). As a result, deposits when received from customers are included as liabilities on our balance sheets.
The following table provides balances of customer receivables and contract liabilities as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:
| June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
| Customer receivables (1) | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
| Contract liabilities (Customer deposits) (1), (2) (a), (b), (c) | $ | 178,000 | $ | 209,000 | ||||
| (1) | The Company has deposits of $178,000 and $209,000, respectively as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, with respect to certain future services to be provided, which amounts are not yet earned under revenue recognition criteria provided by ASC 606 and therefore, they are not reflected as accounts receivable on the Company’s balance sheets. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $3,000 and $6,000, respectively as income relative to the above contracts and returned $25,000 in previously paid deposits to one of its customers. |
| (2) | Contract liabilities are consideration we have received from our customers billed in advance of providing goods or services promised in the future or for work in progress. We defer recognizing this consideration as revenue until we have satisfied the related performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities include installation and maintenance charges that are deferred and recognized when the installation is complete or with respect to deposits for maintenance, over the actual or expected contract term, which typically ranges from one to five years depending on the service. Contract liabilities may be included as customer deposits or deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets, based on the specifics of the contract. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we have recognized $3,000 and $6,000 in revenue from customer deposits on hand (June 30, 2021 - Nil). The Company and certain customers are currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of certain prior period contracts for which we have received deposits but have not completed the scope of work. |

NOTE 7: CUSTOMER DEPOSITS, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Performance Obligations
While we had originally expected to recognize revenue during fiscal 2020 with respect to contracts for which we have received customer deposits, the impact of COVID-19 had a significant impact on implementation. The Company is currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of these contracts, or their termination.
(a) We executed a license agreement for the country of Spain in fiscal 2016 and the Company received an initial deposit of $25,000 against the total licensing fee payable. This amount has been recorded on the Company’s balance sheets as deferred income. While the Company and the customer attempted to negotiate an amendment to the terms of the agreement in late fiscal 2019, the onset of COVID-19 resulted in further delays which are ongoing. As a result, the Company is currently in negotiation for a formal termination of the agreement with this customer.
(b) On July 11, 2019, GZMC entered into an Airport WiFi Sponsorship Marketing Agreement with a third party whereunder GZMC will secure long-term, exclusive and non-exclusive smart venues for WiFi marketing, digital marketing and data analytics for various brand sponsors at various airports across the United States. There were several venues anticipated under the terms of the agreement with installations commencing on various schedules. GZMC generated invoices for $100,000 for each of 13 venues, whereby $65,000 per venue is due on receipt of the invoice and the remaining $35,000 is due sixty days thereafter. As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has received partial payments of $130,000 against the initial deposit required, of which a total of $25,000 was returned during the period leaving $105,000 on deposit. Previously the Company expected revenue recognition under these contracts to commence in fiscal 2020, however, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project has been delayed indefinitely. Funds originally provided for the implementation of this project are anticipated to be applied as a deposit on a project yet to be identified or otherwise, fully repaid.
(c) On October 6, 2020, the Company received a purchase order in the amount of $132,000 in regard to a Media Agreement described in Note 9(3) below. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed the installation terms included in the purchase order and as a result $78,000 has been reflected as revenue as at December 31, 2021. A further $6,000 was recorded as income during the six months ended June 30, 2022, with the remaining $48,000 included in deferred income in relation to future service obligations under the contract which will be earned over the term of the service contract.

December 31, 2021 and 2020

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
GZ6G Technologies Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GZ6G Technologies Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
F-27
Going Concern – Disclosure
The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As noted in “Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” above, the Company has a history of recurring net losses, a significant accumulated deficit and currently has net working capital deficit. The Company has contractual obligations such as commitments for repayments of accounts and notes payable and accrued interest (collectively “obligations”). Currently management’s forecasts and related assumptions illustrate their ability to meet the obligations through management of expenditures, obtaining additional financing through loans from related and unrelated parties, and private placements of capital stock for additional funding to meet its operating needs. Should there be constraints on the ability to access financing through stock issuances, the Company will continue to manage cash outflows and meet the obligations through related and unrelated party loans.
We identified management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. Management made judgments to conclude that it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented and will provide the necessary cash flows to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. Specifically, the judgments with the highest degree of impact and subjectivity in determining it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented include its ability to manage expenditures, its access funding from the capital market, and obtain loans from related and unrelated parties. Auditing the judgments made by management required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included the following, among others: (i) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to access funding from the capital market; (ii) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to manage expenditures, and (iii) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to obtain loans from related and unrelated parties.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GZ6G Technologies Corp. (formerly Green Zebra International Corp.) (the “Company” or “GZ6G”) is a complete enterprise smart solutions provider for large venues and cities. Focused on acquiring smart city solutions, developing innovative products, and overseeing smart cities and smart venues, GZ6G also assists in modernizing clients with innovative wireless IoT technology for the emerging 5G and Wi-Fi 6 marketplaces. Target markets include stadiums, airports, universities, and smart city projects. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada and has offices in California and Nevada.
In November 2018, the Company changed its name from NanoSensors, Inc. to Green Zebra International Corp. following a merger with Green Zebra Media Corp., a Delaware corporation, under common control.
The Board of Directors approved a name change and a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of 200 to 1 on December 18, 2019. The accompanying financial statements, and all share and per share information contained herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. On December 20, 2019, the Company changed its name from Green Zebra International Corp. to GZ6G Technologies Corp.
On August 6, 2021, Mr. William Ray Procniak and Mr. Brian Scott Hale were appointed to the Company’s board of directors and concurrently the Company formed an audit committee, which each of Mr. Hale and Mr. Procniak joined, serving as independent board members. Concurrently the Company completed an application for an uplist to the OTCQB and submitted the required disclosure through OTCMarkets. The Company was approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on October 25, 2021.
Going Concern
These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,212,204 with approximately $760,000 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $16,092,531. In December 2020, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with a third party to provide an aggregate amount of $450,000 in $25,000 increments weekly, which was sufficient to meet operational needs and has been funded in full. During the year ended December 31, 2021, this note was amended to include an additional $1,000,000 in funding, payable over 90 business days commencing April 16, 2021, of which an amount of $600,000 has been received against the $1,000,000 funding as of December 31, 2021. Further prior to December 31, 2021, the Company has received an additional $1,108,000 in funding with respect to net proceeds of $1,008,000 from certain convertible notes and $100,000 in proceeds with respect to the sale of certain registered shares issued in consideration for put notices under an equity line entered into in fiscal 2021. The Company anticipates a need for a further $5,000,000 in fiscal 2022 to meet its upgraded infrastructure requirements and has filed two registration statements on Form S-1 to facilitate this requirement, one of which was deemed effective on September 24, 2021, and the other still pending notice of effect. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)
Covid-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our existing sponsorship and revenue agreements. During 2021 the implementation of services under certain of our installation agreements experienced delays as a result of the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which may also continue to impact our ability to raise additional capital. During March 2020, we gave notice of furlough to our administrative support employees in an effort to conserve resources as we evaluate our business development efforts in the coming months. In April 2020, the Company received a grant of $6,000 and in May 2020 we received a PPP loan and an SBA loan in the approximate cumulative amount of $90,000 for operations. During early 2022 the Company reopened its offices and continued with the hiring of additional staff as well as the upgrading of infrastructure requirements to meet anticipated customer requirements for 2022. While recent progress in the battle against COVID leads us to believe that the worst of the effects of the pandemic are past, we cannot say with certainty that the situation will not change. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, is highly uncertain and still subject to change. While significant uncertainty remains, despite the fact that the Company has been able to source financing, it remains that the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative impact on its ability to work through its collaborative development efforts with industry partners, and in acquiring venues due to the continuing impact of COVID 19, in particular as a result of the impact to the global supply chain.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GZ6G Technology Corp. and its 60% controlled subsidiary, Green Zebra Media Corp. (“GZMC’). as of December 31, 2021. All significant intercompany accounting transactions have been eliminated as a result of consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $509,791 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Research and Development Costs
We charge research and development costs to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730-Research and Development, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. These amounts are not reflected in the reported research and development expenses in each of the respective periods but are included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales in each of the respective periods.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this standard is that a company should record revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements and service-based contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
We earn revenue from both digital marketing and the sale of WiFi and communication solutions to customers around the world. Revenue is earned from sales of our WiFi media platform and our WiFi monetization hardware (GZ Media hub) embedded with GZ software to create monetization and communication solutions for our customers. Our sales can consist of any one or a combination of items required by our customer including hardware, technology platforms and related support. We also enter into licensing contracts which provide for revenue based on licensing fees and revenue sharing with our licensees.
As we expand, we expect a large portion of our revenue from our digital communication solutions to be derived from service-based contracts where we expect to recognize a significant portion of our contracts over time, as there is a continuous delivery of services to the customer over the contractual period of performance. These contracts may or may not include fixed payments for services over time and/or commission-based fees.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
Direct costs are expected to include materials, labor and overhead to be charged to work-in-progress (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Indirect costs relating to long-term contracts, are expected to include expenses such as general and administrative charges, and other costs will be charged to expense as incurred and will not be included in our work-in-process (including our contracts-in-progress) inventory or cost of sales. Total estimates are expected to be reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become evident. If we do not accurately estimate the total sales, related costs and progress towards completion on our long-term contracts, the estimated gross margins may be significantly impacted, or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, certain of our contracts will include termination for convenience or non-performance clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract. Such terminations could impact the assumptions regarding total contract revenues and expenses utilized in recognizing profit under those contracts where we apply the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. As we fully implement our business model, our inability to perform on our long-term contracts could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.
Debt Issue Costs
The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense.
Original Issue Discount
If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Stock Settled Debt
In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had recorded within Convertible Notes, net of discount, the amount of $8,320,525 and $164,104 for the value of the stock settled debt for certain convertible notes (see Note 6).

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 – Topic 842 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that most leases be recognized on the financial statements, specifically the recognition of right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities, and enhanced disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features. The computation of basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at each reporting period which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share:
| December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Convertible Notes | 4,966,154 | 256,410 | ||||||
| Stock purchase warrants | 1,130,487 | - | ||||||

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The update also provides for expanded disclosure requirements to increase transparency. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein.

The reseller agreement had an initial term of three years and was subsequently amended to reflect a five (5) year term. Under the terms of the agreement GZMC was required to pay a fee of $52,000 of which a total of $6,450 was unpaid and is included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTE 6: DEBT
Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note and Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Diamondrock LLC (“Diamond”) whereby Diamond has agreed to advance up to $750,000 to the Company by way of a Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note with an initial cumulative funding of $169,450 (less an original issue discount (“OID”) of 10% totaling $16,945) to be drawn down in tranches at the election of the Company. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn down a total of $169,450 of which $16,945 represents the OID and $2,500 represents agreed debt issue costs, for total net proceeds to the Company of $150,005. The Company is required under the terms of the agreement to repay the draw downs in four equal installments, plus accrued interest of 5% per annum, with the initial installment commencing 90 days after the first draw down under the agreement.
Further, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee in the amount of $112,500 on signing of the agreement by way of the initial issuance of a total of 100,000 shares. Diamond may sell the commitment fee shares subject to applicable securities regulations and may request additional shares from the Company at a future date should the aggregate value of the shares when sold generate less than the agreed $112,500 commitment fee.

NOTE 6: DEBT (continued)
Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note and Securities Purchase Agreement (continued)
Under the terms of the convertible note, on or after maturity the note may converted to shares of common stock in whole or in part equal to 60% of the lowest of the Volume Weighted Average Price for each of the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date of the Notice of Conversion. The convertible note qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The fair value of the $150,005 Notes was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $173,585, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.53% ~ 1.60%, expected life of 0.6 year, volatility of 175% ~ 292%, and expected dividend yield of zero. Because the fair value of the note exceeded the net proceeds from the $150,005, a charge was recorded to “Financing cost” for the excess of the fair value of the note.
The Company issued 100,000 shares on August 26, 2019 to satisfy the commitment fee. The Company valued issuance at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as traded on the OTCMarkets on the date of issuance, and consequently recorded stock-based compensation of $110,000.
On August 26, 2020, a Revolving Secured Convertible Promissory Note Assignment and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was entered into between Diamond and Ilya Aharon (the “Buyer”). Under this Agreement, the Buyer acquired the Secured Revolving Convertible Promissory Note (“Diamond Note”) from Diamond for cash consideration of $147,000. The Purchase Agreement assigned all obligations of the Company and the guarantor under the terms of the original Diamond Note to Buyer.
On September 5, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of a new Convertible Promissory Note (the “New Note”) to Buyer in the amount of $147,000 thereby terminating all obligations of the Company and guarantor under the Diamond Note. The note was unsecured and non-interest bearing.
Under the New Note the Company had the right to prepay all or any portion of the New Note at any time upon 30 days written notice to the debtholder, without penalty at the debtholder’s discretion. The debtholder has the right at any time with 3 days written notice to convert any part of the New Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of a 40% discount to the lowest market price at the close of market during the 60 days immediately prior to the notice of conversion. The Company recorded $748,192 as liability on stock settled debt associated with this New Note and expensed $748,192 as amortization of debt discount in the year ended December 31, 2020.
On October 1, 2020, the Company received a Notice of Conversion in respect to the New Note and converted the full value of the debt ($147,000) into 3,500,001 shares.
Due to the variable conversion price associated with the Revolving Secured Convertible Promissory Note disclosed above, the Company has determined that the debt discount is a derivative liability for instruments which are convertible and have not yet been settled. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives on the date they are deemed to be derivative liabilities. The initial embedded derivative liability of $173,585 was recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet and is remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being charged to earnings (loss).

NOTE 7: CUSTOMER DEPOSITS, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
The Company generates revenue from contracts which, among other services, provide wireless and digital promotion rights for certain events including WiFi media network advertising rights, and the development of smart venue wireless networks and software engagement technology products for airports, stadiums, campuses, cities and other venues in the United States and International markets. In general, our contracts require several months of implementation which is charged at a fixed rate, followed by monthly maintenance and management services, ad hoc fixed rate services, and a share in advertising revenue, when applicable. As a result, the Company will accept deposits from customers, which deposits are applied as each stage of our implementation is complete or under the terms of the service contract. Invoices issued to customers for the implementation phase of our contracts are due and payable when issued, however, as the associated scope of services have not yet been concluded, these invoices do not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria required to report these amounts as earned revenue (ref: Note 2 – Revenue Recognition). As a result, deposits when received from customers are included as liabilities on our balance sheets.

| (2) | Contract liabilities are consideration we have received from our customers billed in advance of providing goods or services promised in the future or for work in progress. We defer recognizing this consideration as revenue until we have satisfied the related performance obligation to the customer. Contract liabilities include installation and maintenance charges that are deferred and recognized when the installation is complete or with respect to deposits for maintenance, over the actual or expected contract term, which typically ranges from one to five years depending on the service. Contract liabilities may be included as customer deposits or deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets, based on the specifics of the contract. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have recognized $78,000 and $0, respectively, in revenue from customer deposits on hand. The Company and certain customers are currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of certain prior period contracts for which we have received deposits but have not completed the scope of work. |
Performance Obligations
As of December 31, 2021, our estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations associated with certain customer contracts that have been invoiced but remain unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) is approximately $1,550,000. While we had originally expected to recognize approximately 30% of this revenue through 2020, with the balance recognized thereafter, the impact of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on these contracts. The Company is currently in negotiations to determine the best way to proceed with the delayed implementation of these contracts, or their termination.
(a) We executed a license agreement for the country of Spain in fiscal 2016 and the Company received an initial deposit of $25,000 against the total licensing fee payable. This amount has been recorded on the Company’s balance sheets as deferred income. While the Company and the customer attempted to negotiate an amendment to the terms of the agreement in late fiscal 2019, the onset of COVID-19 resulted in further delays which are ongoing. As a result, the Company is currently in negotiation for a formal termination of the agreement with this customer.
(b) On July 11, 2019, GZMC entered into an Airport WiFi Sponsorship Marketing Agreement with a third party whereunder GZMC will secure long-term, exclusive and non-exclusive smart venues for WiFi marketing, digital marketing and data analytics for various brand sponsors at various airports across the United States. There were several venues anticipated under the terms of the agreement with installations commencing on various schedules. GZMC generated invoices for $100,000 for each of 13 venues, whereby $65,000 per venue is due on receipt of the invoice and the remaining $35,000 is due sixty days thereafter. As at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had received partial payments of $130,000 against the initial deposit required. Previously the Company expected revenue recognition under these contracts to commence in fiscal 2020, however, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project has been delayed indefinitely. Funds originally provided for the implementation of this project are anticipated to be applied as a deposit on a project yet to be identified or otherwise, repaid.

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
| ● | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; |
| ● | for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; |
| ● | under Nevada Revised Statutes for the unlawful payment of dividends; or |
| ● | for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. |
These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Nevada law and eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of her fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of her or her fiduciary duty.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Re: Form S-1 Registration Statement
Dear Mr. Smith:
You have requested that I furnish you my legal opinion with respect to the legality of the following described securities of GZ6G Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) covered by a Form S-1 Registration Statement (“Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering such securities under the Securities Act of 1933:
| 1. | 50,000,000 shares of GZ6G Technologies Corp. Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Shares”) offered for sale to Mast Hill Fund, L.P. by the Company; |
In connection with this opinion, I have examined the corporate records of the Company, including the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as well as such other documents and records as I deemed relevant in order to render this opinion. In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
Based on the forgoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualification and limitations set forth below, I am of the opinion that the Company is duly organized in the State of Nevada, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada.
It is my opinion that all of the 50,000,000 shares of the Common Stock offered for sale by the Company, and described in the S-1 Registration Statement, will be, when sold, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to relate to or to constitute an opinion concerning any matters not specifically set forth above. The foregoing opinions relate only to the matters of the internal law of the State of Nevada without reference to conflict of laws and to matters of federal law, and I do not purport to express any opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GZ6G Technologies Corp., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of 1800 DIAGONAL LENDING LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $53,750.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on August 23, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable (whether at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).
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.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
Article I. CONVERSION RIGHTS
1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.
1.2 Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein)(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 and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 65% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 35%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid 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 bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. 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, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
2
1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 18,240,950 shares)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents 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 the Notes 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 the outstanding Note. 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.
If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.
1.4 Method of Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).
(b) Surrender of Note 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.
3
(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.
(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.
(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. 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 Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is: (i) a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock; and/or (ii) not the result of the Borrower purposely, willfully and intentionally hindering the conversion. 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, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.
4
1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.
1.6 Effect of Certain Events.
(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, 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 the 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 Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
5
(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If 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 shareholders 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 shareholders 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 shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
1.7 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.7.
| Prepayment Period | Prepayment Percentage |
| 1. The period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is thirty (30) days following the Issue Date. | 115% |
| 2. The period beginning on the date that is thirty-one (31) day from the Issue Date and ending sixty (60) days following the Issue Date. | 120% |
| 3. The period beginning on the date that is sixty-one (61) day from the Issue Date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issue Date. | 125% |
6
After the expiration of the Prepayment Periods set forth above, the Borrower may submit an Optional Prepayment Notice to the Holder. Upon receipt by the Holder of the Optional Prepayment Notice post Prepayment Periods, the prepayment shall be subject to the Holder’s and the Borrower’s agreement with respect to the applicable Prepayment Percentage.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder’s conversion rights herein shall not be affected in any way until the Note is fully paid (funds received by the Holder) pursuant to an Optional Prepayment Notice.
Article II. CERTAIN COVENANTS
2.1 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.
Article III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:
3.1 Failure to Pay Principal and Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity or upon acceleration and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.
3.2 Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.
7
3.3 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.
3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
3.5 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.
3.6 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.
3.7 Delisting of Common Stock. The Borrower shall fail to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC (which specifically includes the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group) or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange.
3.8 Failure to Comply with the Exchange Act. The Borrower shall fail to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (the filing of a Form 15 with the SEC is an immediate Event of Default).
3.9 Liquidation. Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.
3.10 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.
3.11 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
3.12 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

3.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined herein). UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT AMOUNT (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and/or 3.14 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer severally (and not jointly) hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Note.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.
2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:
a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer is purchasing the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note (such shares of Common Stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Note, the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act.
b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”).
c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.
d. Information. The Company has not disclosed to the Buyer any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the Buyer.
e. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Note and, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act; or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

6
5. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and/or this Agreement. If the Buyer provides the Company and the Company’s transfer agent, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GZ6G Technologies Corp., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of 1800 DIAGONAL LENDING LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $43,750.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on October 11, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable (whether at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).
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.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
Article I. CONVERSION RIGHTS
1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.
1.2 Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein)(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 and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 65% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 35%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid 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 bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. 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, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
2
1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 18,783,542 shares) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents 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 the Notes 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 the outstanding Note. 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.
If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.
1.4 Method of Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).
(b) Surrender of Note 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.
3
(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.
(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.
(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. 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 Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is: (i) a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock; and/or (ii) not the result of the Borrower purposely, willfully and intentionally hindering the conversion. 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, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.
4
1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.
1.6 Effect of Certain Events.
(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, 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 the 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 Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
5
(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If 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 shareholders 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 shareholders 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 shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
1.7 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.7.
| Prepayment Period | Prepayment Percentage |
| 1. The period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is thirty (30) days following the Issue Date. | 115% |
| 2. The period beginning on the date that is thirty-one (31) day from the Issue Date and ending sixty (60) days following the Issue Date. | 120% |
| 3. The period beginning on the date that is sixty-one (61) day from the Issue Date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issue Date. | 125% |
6
After the expiration of the Prepayment Periods set forth above, the Borrower may submit an Optional Prepayment Notice to the Holder. Upon receipt by the Holder of the Optional Prepayment Notice post Prepayment Periods, the prepayment shall be subject to the Holder’s and the Borrower’s agreement with respect to the applicable Prepayment Percentage.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder’s conversion rights herein shall not be affected in any way until the Note is fully paid (funds received by the Holder) pursuant to an Optional Prepayment Notice.
Article II. CERTAIN COVENANTS
2.1 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.
Article III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:
3.1 Failure to Pay Principal and Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity or upon acceleration and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.
3.2 Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

3.10 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

3.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note.

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:
a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer is purchasing the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note (such shares of Common Stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Note, the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act.
b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”).
c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.
d. Information. The Company has not disclosed to the Buyer any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the Buyer.
e. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Note and, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act; or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and/or this Agreement. If the Buyer provides the Company and the Company’s transfer agent, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
