On February 2, 2026, HealthLynked Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) issued and sold a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,715,811.98 (the “Note”) to the Mary S. Dent Gifting Trust (the “Purchaser”). The Purchaser is controlled by the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, Dr. Michael Dent. The Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets of the Company pursuant to that certain security agreement between the Company and the Purchaser dated February 2, 2026 (the “Security Agreement”).
The Note was issued in exchange for the cancellation, extinguishment and termination of certain obligations of the Company, including (i) promissory notes previously issued by the Company to the Purchaser with aggregate outstanding principal of $4,338,191.70 and accrued interest of $737,180.26, (ii) undocumented advances made by the Purchaser to the Company between June 2025 and January 2026 totaling $339,840.02, and (iii) unpaid compensation liability due to Dr. Dent from 2017 in the amount of $300,600.00.
The Note matures on February 2, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”). The Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum. However, such rate shall increase to an annual rate of 18% per annum for so long as any Event of Default (as defined in the Note) remains uncured. The Note is convertible ,in whole or in part, into shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) at the option of the Purchaser prior to the Maturity Date at a conversion price of $4.25 per share.
The Note was issued to the Purchaser, an accredited investor, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company will rely on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement. The Note, and any shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.
The foregoing description of the issuance and sale of the Note to the Purchaser is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note and the Security Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

THIS SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH IT MAY BE CONVERTED HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR SUCH LAWS COVERING THE TRANSFER OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.
HealthLynked Corp.
Senior Secured Convertible
Promissory Note
| Original Principal Amount: $5,715,811.98 | Issuance Date: February 2, 2026 |
This Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued as of February 2, 2026 (the “Issuance Date”) by HealthLynked Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in favor of the Mary S. Dent Gifting Trust (the “Holder”).
Whereas, the Company previously issued to the Holder one or more promissory notes, undocumented advances, and was indebted for unpaid compensation to the Holder in the aggregate amount of $5,715,811.98, as set forth in Exhibit A (collectively, the “Prior Debt”);
Whereas, the Company and the Holder desire to streamline and consolidate the indebtedness evidenced by the Prior Debt into a single replacement instrument, and, in connection therewith, to cancel, extinguish, and terminate the Prior Debt upon the issuance of this Note;
WHEREAS, certain of the Prior Debt is in default and the parties intend for this Note to be given in consideration of the waiver of such Prior Debt in default;
Whereas, the Company desires to secure all obligations under this Note with a first-priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral (as defined in Section 6 hereof), and the Holder is willing to accept such security on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in that certain Security Agreement, effective as of an even date hereof, between the Company and the Holder (the “Security Agreement”);
Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Note and the related documents, and intending to be legally bound, the Company hereby issues this Note to the Holder as a replacement and consolidation of the Prior Debt, which shall be deemed canceled as of the issuance of this Note, subject to the terms, conditions, security interests, and conversion rights provided herein and in the Security Agreement.
1. Principal and Interest.
1.1. The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder the amount of $5,715,811.98, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”), on or before February 2, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Original Principal Amount at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) (the “Regular Interest Rate”). Any portion of the Original Principal Amount outstanding on or after the Maturity Date shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) (the “Post-Maturity Interest Rate”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) (the “Default Interest Rate”). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
1.2. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Holder in any action brought to enforce the terms of this Note. All payments in respect of this Note shall be in immediately available lawful money of the United States of America. All payments in respect of this Note shall be made unconditionally in full without any deduction, set off, counterclaim or other defense. If any scheduled payment date is not a business day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day. All payments (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4) shall (a) require the payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being paid and (b) be applied first, to the payment all accrued but unpaid interest in respect of principal amounts paid and second, to the remaining principal. Any amounts paid or repaid may not be reborrowed.
1.3. Upon exchange or repayment in full of this Note as provided herein, this Note shall be terminated and surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
2. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, by the Company at any time upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Holder.
3. Conversion.
3.1. Optional Conversion of the Note. The Holder shall have the right, at any time following the Issuance Date and prior to the Maturity Date to convert all or a portion of the Original Principal Amount of this Note and the accrued interest thereon into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 3.2, in an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the principal and interest being converted by (ii) $4.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder shall provide written notice to the Company of its option to convert the Note into Common Stock, which notice shall be substantially in the form of the Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Conversion”). The Company shall not be required to convert any Note pursuant to any optional conversion pursuant to this Section 3.1, nor shall any conversion pursuant to this Section 3.1 be effective, unless and until the Holder provides a duly and validly executed Notice of Conversion to the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
3.2. Adjustment to the Conversion Price. Subject to Section 7 hereof, in case (i) the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares, (ii) a dividend or other distribution in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, (iii) the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares thereof, or (iv) any shares of the Company’s capital stock are issued by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, combination or reclassification or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, combination or reclassification or immediately after the record date of such dividend or distribution, be proportionately adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) prior to such combination, subdivision, reclassification or dividend, and the denominator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) after giving effect to such combination, subdivision, reclassification or dividend.
In the case of (i) any reclassification or change of the Common Stock, (ii) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company or (iii) a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case as result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities, or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Holder will be entitled thereafter to convert such securities into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance had such securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance.
-2-
3.3. Effect of Conversion. Upon the issuance of any Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3, such shares shall be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3.4. Notices of Record Date. In the event (i) the Company fixes a record date to determine the holders of Common Stock who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) there occurs any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Common Stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (a) the date of such record date for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (b) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (c) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
3.5. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note (taking into account the adjustments required by this Section 3), such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the outstanding; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, take all such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
4. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, if any, shall become due and payable immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control. For the purposes of this Note, “Change of Control” shall mean one or more related transactions of any of (a) an acquisition (whether by way of merger, share exchange, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction) by an individual or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, or by contract) of in excess of 50% of the voting securities of the Company, (b) the Company merges into or consolidates with any other entity, or any entity merges into or consolidates with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction, or (c) the Company sells, leases, licenses, conveys, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity.
5. Events of Default
5.1. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
| (a) | the Company fails to pay timely any of the principal amount of or any accrued interest or other amounts due under this Note on the date the same become due and payable; |
| (b) | the Company or any subsidiary of the Company that is a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such subsidiary, a “Significant Subsidiary”), files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; |
-3-
| (c) | default by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary with respect to any mortgage, indenture, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness in excess of $100,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such Significant Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness exists as of the date hereof or is thereafter created (i) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such indebtedness when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) or (ii) constituting a failure to perform or observe any condition, covenant or undertaking (or any other event shall occur or condition exists), if the effect of such failure, event or condition is to cause, or permit the holder or holders of such indebtedness to cause, such indebtedness to be declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity; |
| (d) | an involuntary petition is filed against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee or assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary; |
| (e) | the Company breaches any covenant or undertaking under this Note that is not cured within ten (10) business days; |
| (f) | any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Note shall have been false, incorrect, in accurate, misleading or breached in any material respect; |
| (g) | one or more judgments, non-interlocutory orders, decrees or arbitration awards shall entered against any one or more of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary involving in the aggregate a liability of $100,000 or more (excluding amounts covered by independent third-party insurance to the extent the relevant insurer has not denied coverage therefor), and the same shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated or unstayed pending appeal for a period of 30 days after entry therefor; |
| (h) | the Note at any time ceases to be in full force and effect, or the Company shall so assert in writing or disavow any of its obligations thereunder; or |
| (i) | the Company dissolves or terminates its business. |
5.2. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding amounts due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate until such Event of Default has been cured or waived. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Holder may at any time at its option (a) declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing hereunder, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Company; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clauses (b) or (d) of Section 5.1, the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing hereunder, shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, and/or (b) exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Note. No remedy herein conferred upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every right other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
6. Security. The obligations of the Company under this Note are secured by the collateral identified in the Security Agreement (the “Pledged Collateral”). The Company agrees that at its sole cost and expense, the Company will maintain the security interest created by the Security Agreement in the Pledged Collateral as a perfected First Priority security interest. “First Priority” means, with respect to any lien purported to be created in any Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, such lien is the most senior lien to which such Pledged Collateral is subject. The Company shall not grant any other liens on the Pledged Collateral without the prior written consent of the Holder.
-4-
7. Most Favored Nation Protection.
| 7.1. | Most Favored Nation Protection. If, at any time prior to the conversion or repayment in full of this Note, the Company enters into any public or private offering of the Company’s securities or issues or amends any convertible promissory note, simple agreement for future equity, convertible instrument, or other security that is convertible into or exercisable for equity securities of the Company (a) in a bona fide financing transaction or (b) in connection with any indebtedness or bridge financing (each, a “Subsequent Instrument”), on terms (taken as a whole) more favorable to the investor or holder thereof than the terms applicable to this Note, then the Company shall promptly provide written notice to the Holder setting forth the applicable more favorable terms and shall offer the Holder the benefit of such terms as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, “more favorable terms” include, without limitation, any of the following: lower conversion price or more favorable valuation cap, higher discount rate, more favorable interest rate or interest compounding, additional or broader conversion rights or triggers, more favorable maturity, additional warrants or warrant coverage, more favorable most favored nation, parity or senior ranking, information or inspection rights, pro rata rights, or any other material economic or protective term. |
| 7.2. | Election; Conforming Amendments. Upon receipt of such notice, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company within ten (10) business days, to have any one or more of such more favorable terms apply to this Note, effective as of (and including the benefit of) the earliest date on which such terms became effective for any holder of a Subsequent Instrument. The Company shall, and the Holder agrees to, execute such amendments to this Note and related documents as are reasonably necessary to give effect to the Holder’s election; provided that no such amendment shall be required to the extent this Note is deemed automatically amended hereby to incorporate the elected terms as of such effective date. |
| 7.3. | Conversion Price and Key Term Adjustments. Without limiting the foregoing: |
| 7.3.1. | Conversion Price/Valuation Cap/Discount. If any Subsequent Instrument provides for a conversion price formula, valuation cap, or discount more favorable than that applicable to this Note, then, upon the Holder’s election, the conversion price, valuation cap, and/or discount applicable to this Note shall be adjusted to be no less favorable to the Holder than those provided in such Subsequent Instrument, including any weighted average or full ratchet anti-dilution protections or price-based adjustments. |
| 7.3.2. | Interest Economics. If any Subsequent Instrument bears a higher interest rate, provides for compounding, payment-in-kind, or other interest accrual mechanics more favorable to the holder, the Holder may elect to have the same interest terms apply to this Note from the date such terms were first offered to any holder of a Subsequent Instrument. |
| 7.3.3. | Conversion Triggers and Mechanics. If any Subsequent Instrument includes additional or more favorable optional or mandatory conversion events, conversion mechanics, or conversion into a more senior or protected class of equity, the Holder may elect corresponding adjustments so that this Note converts on terms and into securities no less favorable than those applicable to such Subsequent Instrument. |
| 7.3.4. | Warrants and Coverage. If any Subsequent Instrument is issued with warrants or similar equity-linked securities, or with more favorable warrant coverage, pricing, or terms, the Holder may elect to receive equivalent warrants or adjusted coverage and terms, as applicable. |
-5-
| 7.3.5. | Priority; Covenants; Protective Provisions. If any Subsequent Instrument benefits from a lien, security interest, subordination priority, pari passu status, financial or negative covenants, information rights, board observer rights, pro rata participation rights, or other protective provisions more favorable than those of this Note, the Holder may elect to receive the benefit of such terms to the same extent. |
| 7.4. | Exceptions. The MFN protection shall not apply to: (a) terms that are unique to a particular investor due to regulatory, tax, ERISA, or jurisdiction-specific requirements, provided such terms do not have a material economic effect on the Holder; (b) perquisite or administrative rights that are not material to the economics or seniority of the instrument (including, by way of example, reimbursement caps, notice addresses, or wire instructions); and (c) rights that are expressly conditioned on the provision of services as an employee, consultant, or director. Any ambiguity as to materiality shall be resolved in favor of the Holder. |
| 7.5. | Notice; Disclosure. The Company shall provide the Holder with a true and complete copy of each Subsequent Instrument (with purchase price and personally identifying information of other investors redacted if desired) within five (5) business days after execution, together with a written description of any material terms not set forth therein. Failure to timely provide such notice shall toll the election period until ten (10) business days after Holder’s receipt of notice and the relevant documents. |
| 7.6. | No Waiver of Accrued Benefits. Any adjustment or amendment pursuant to this Most Favored Nation provision shall be without prejudice to any interest accrued, rights vested, or defaults existing under this Note prior to the effectiveness of such adjustment. |
| 7.7. | Most Favored Nation Floor. The Company shall not offer or agree to any term in any Subsequent Instrument that would, after giving effect to this provision, result in this Note having terms less favorable to the Holder than those applicable to any holder of a Subsequent Instrument. |
| 7.8. | Coordination with Future Equity Financing. In the event of a Qualified Financing or other equity financing in which this Note is convertible pursuant to its terms, the MFN adjustments elected by the Holder under this provision shall be taken into account in determining the conversion price, securities received, and all related rights and obligations, so that the Holder receives securities and ancillary rights on terms no less favorable than those offered to the most-favored investor in such financing. |
| 7.9. | Survival. This Most Favored Nation provision shall remain in effect until the earlier of (a) the full payment in cash of all amounts due under this Note and (b) the date on which this Note has been converted in full and all post-conversion obligations of the Company in respect of the securities issued upon conversion have been satisfied. |
8. Extinguishment and Waiver of Default on Prior Debt. Upon issuance of this Note, all amounts owing and obligations of the Company under the Prior Debt are hereby cancelled, extinguished, and terminated. Holder explicitly waives any defaults that had arisen under the Prior Debt, retroactive to the date that any such default occurred, under any of the Prior Debt, including, but not limited to, any default caused by any of the Convertible Promissory Notes listed in Exhibit A having reached their respective maturity dates without repayment.
9. Waiver of Notice; Fees. The Company hereby waives notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor. Other than pursuant to a writing by the Holder, no failure to exercise any right of the Holder with respect to this Note, nor any delay in, or waiver of, the exercise thereof, shall impair any such right or be deemed to be a waiver thereof. If the Holder is required to commence legal proceedings, process or incur any other cost to collect amounts due and payable hereunder or to enforce its rights under this Note, the Company shall be liable to pay or reimburse the Holder for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of such amounts and any such legal proceedings, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.
-6-
10. Assignment. This Note shall not be assignable by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder and any such purported assignment shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties. Effective upon any such assignment, any party to whom such rights, interests and obligations were assigned by the Holder or the Company, as applicable, shall have all of the Holder’s or the Company’s, as applicable, rights, interests and obligations hereunder as if such party were the original Holder or Company, as applicable.
11. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended and the observance of any term of this Note may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No delay by the Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right.
12. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered upon: (i) receipt, when delivered personally, (ii) one (1) business day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same, or (iii) receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that the electronic mail transmission is not returned in error or the sender is not otherwise notified of any error in transmission).

3. Continuing Security Interest.
(a) This Agreement creates an assignment, pledge, charge, continuing perfected first priority security interest in, and general Lien upon, the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until all Obligations have been satisfied, (ii) be binding upon Debtor and its successors, permitted transferees, and permitted assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Holder hereunder, to the benefit of Holder and its successors, transferees, and assigns, for the benefit of Holder.

Upon such termination, Holder will (i) execute and deliver to Debtor such documents as Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, (ii) deliver and transfer such Collateral to Debtor, and (iii) file and record with the appropriate filing offices the termination statements, cancellations, satisfactions or similar documents necessary to evidence or otherwise give public notice of the termination of the security interests granted hereunder. In the event that Holder fails to file such termination statements, cancellations, satisfactions or similar documents, Debtor is hereby authorized to file and record with the appropriate filing offices, on behalf of Holder, such termination statements, cancellations, satisfactions or similar documents.
4. Debtor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Debtor shall remain liable under any agreements which have been (in whole or in part) pledged or assigned herein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by Holder of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Debtor from any of its duties or obligations under any such agreements; and (c) Holder shall not have any obligation or liability under any such agreements by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Holder be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Debtor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Debtor shall take such steps as Holder reasonably requests to (a) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Holder, and (b) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the UCC) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder.
-5-
6. Proceeds of Sale. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way Holder’s right to receive Proceeds of the Collateral in any form in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Proceeds that are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of Holder, shall be segregated from other property or funds of Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to Holder as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement, document or instrument of transfer).
7. Inspection. Debtor agrees upon notice provided by Holder, to permit Holder, through its officers and agents, to examine and inspect the Collateral and all records pertaining thereto, and to make extracts from such records as Holder may require; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Debtor shall be liable for the costs of no more than one (1) such inspection per calendar year.
8. Intellectual Property. Debtor shall promptly notify Holder of any new Intellectual Property acquired or developed after the date hereof and take all necessary steps to ensure that such new Intellectual Property is subject to the security interest created hereunder.
9. Representations and Warranties. Debtor represents, warrants and covenants to Holder that:
(a) Debtor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Nevada;
(b) Debtor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral granted or purported to be granted by it free and clear of any Lien, claim, option or right of others, except for the security interest created under this Agreement.
(c) Debtor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge all of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, and upon the filing of appropriate financing statements under the UCC and, to the extent applicable, appropriate recordations with the USPTO and/or USCO, and, to the extent applicable, the taking of possession or control by Holder of such Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control, all actions necessary to perfect the security interest, so far as perfection is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and possible under relevant law, in the Collateral shall have been duly made or taken and are in full force and effect, and this Agreement creates in favor of Holder a valid, enforceable and, together with such filings and other actions, perfected, so far as perfection is possible under relevant law, first priority security interest in such Collateral.
(d) To the knowledge of Debtor, the conduct of the business of Debtor as currently conducted does not infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of any third party, and, to the knowledge of Debtor, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property of Debtor. To the knowledge of Debtor, no claim or litigation alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation is pending or threatened in writing. To the knowledge of Debtor, no claim or litigation regarding Debtor’s ownership of any of its Intellectual Property is pending or threatened in writing.
10. Certain Covenants. During the term of this Agreement, Debtor shall:
(a) Maintain, or cause to be maintained, all items of the Collateral in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted in the case of Equipment, and pay, or cause to be paid, the costs of repairs to or maintenance of that Collateral which is of a type that could be repaired or maintained;
-6-
(b) Take all steps to preserve and protect the Collateral, including, with respect to the Intellectual Property, the filing of any renewal affidavits and applications;
(c) Not use any Collateral in material violation of law or any applicable policy of insurance;
(d) Pay or cause to be paid when due all taxes, assessments, and other charges relating to the Collateral, other than such taxes, assessments and other charges which are being disputed in good faith, or this Agreement and reimburse Holder for all costs of and fees incurred in connection with any filing of the documents and instruments referred to in Section 5; and
(e) Not change its: (i) name or the name under which it does business; (ii) chief executive office; (iii) type of organization; (iv) jurisdiction of organization; or (v) other legal structure without at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Holder. Prior to effectuating any change described in the preceding sentence, Debtor shall take or cause to be taken all actions deemed by Holder to be necessary or desirable to prevent any financing or continuation statement from becoming seriously misleading or rendered ineffective, or the security interests granted herein from becoming unperfected or the relative priority thereof otherwise impaired, as a result of such removal or change.
11. Further Assurances and Protections.
(a) Debtor shall at its expense do, file, record, make, execute, and deliver all such acts, notices, instruments, statements, or other documents as Holder may request in writing to perfect, preserve, or otherwise protect the security interest and Liens of Holder in the Collateral or any part thereof or to give effect to the rights, powers, and remedies of Holder under this Agreement;
(b) Debtor will give prompt written notice to Holder of, and defend the Collateral against, any suit, action, or proceeding related to the Collateral or which could adversely affect the security interests and Liens granted hereunder; and
(c) Debtor authorizes Holder to have this or any other similar agreement recorded or filed with any applicable federal, state or foreign government office.
(d) Debtor will keep the Collateral at all times insured in the ordinary course of business against risks of loss or damage by fire, theft and such other casualties as Holder may reasonably require, in each case in amounts as ordinarily insured against by other similarly situated owners in businesses similar to Debtor’s business, under such forms of policies, upon such terms, for such periods, and written by such companies or underwriters as Holder may approve, losses in all cases to be payable to Holder in accordance with this Agreement.
12. Events of Default. The occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default as defined in the Secured Note shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement.
-7-
13. Remedies upon an Event of Default. On and after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Holder may, in its discretion, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in any applicable jurisdiction) and all other applicable law. The proceeds of any collection, liquidation, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied by Holder first to the payment of all expenses (including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Holder in connection with retaking, holding, collecting, or liquidating the Collateral. The balance of such proceeds, if any, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in the order of application set forth in Section 28(f) of this Agreement. In case of any deficiency, Debtor shall, whether or not then due, remain liable therefor. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to Debtor at its notice address specified on the signature page hereof fourteen (14) business days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute commercially reasonable notice. Without precluding any other methods of sale or other disposition, the sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property; but in any event Holder may sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) (including Holder) as Holder in its absolute discretion may choose, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery, without assuming any credit risk, at public or private sale or other disposition without demand of performance, and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Debtor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale or other disposition hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale or other disposition, unless prohibited by applicable law, Holder may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Holder shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto.
Holder shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement. Debtor hereby waives any claims against Holder arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Holder accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
Debtor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, Holder may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the relevant Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Debtor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Holder than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Holder shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to enable the registration of the Collateral or related transaction so as to permit a public offer to be made with respect thereto;
14. Holder Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted to Holder pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise, Debtor hereby appoints Holder as its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in Holder’s discretion to take any and all action and to execute, file and record any and all instruments, agreements, and documents which Holder may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to execute any assignment of Intellectual Property to Holder or other transferee, and to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made or payable to Debtor representing any Proceeds in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. The appointment set forth in this Section 14 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
15. Holder May Perform. If Debtor fails to perform any agreement, covenant, or obligation contained herein, Holder may itself perform, or cause performance of such agreement, covenant or obligation and the expenses and costs of Holder incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Debtor.
-8-
16. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Holder and all Liens hereunder, and all obligations of Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Secured Note;
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of any or all of the Obligations or any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Secured Note;
(c) any release or non-perfection of any portion of the Collateral or any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release, amendment, or waiver of any guaranty for all or any of the Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of Debtor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement or the Secured Note.
17. Holder’s Duties. The powers conferred to Holder hereunder are solely to protect Holder’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers except for the safe custody of any Collateral or any portion thereof in its possession, and Holder shall exercise that standard of care with respect to the Collateral in its possession which it exercises in the administration of its own assets and property; provided, however, that Holder shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted with respect to the Collateral or this Agreement unless such liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Holder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Holder shall have no duty as to the Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against other parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.
18. Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers, and remedies of Holder under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and remedies given to Holder by virtue of any statute or rule of law or any agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Holder’s security interest, Lien, and assignment in the Collateral.
19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Holder shall not have any liability to any Person and shall be indemnified and held harmless by Debtor for any liability incurred by reason of taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to the Collateral, except in the case such liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Holder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Debtor agrees to indemnify Holder from and against any and all claims, losses, and liabilities arising out of or connected with this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except such claims, losses, or liabilities resulting from Holder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 19(a) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(b) Debtor agrees to pay all documented out-of-pocket expenses, costs, and disbursements incurred by Holder (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by Holder in connection therewith) in connection with (i) retaking, holding, collecting, preparing for sale, and selling or otherwise realizing upon, liquidating, or disposing of the Collateral, (ii) the enforcement of its rights hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) the performance by Holder of any agreement, covenant, or obligation of Debtor contained herein that Debtor has failed or refused to perform, and (iv) the participation or other involvement of Holder with (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up, or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise, or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of Holder in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance, (B) judicial or regulatory proceedings, and (C) workout, restructuring, or other negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated).
-9-
20. Amendment or Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any terms hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by Debtor and Holder.
21. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed or delivered: if to Debtor, at the addresses specified immediately below Debtor’s name on the signature page hereof; and if to Holder at its address specified immediately below its name on the signature page hereof; or at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. If notice is given to Debtor, a copy (which shall not constitute notice) shall also be sent to Clayton Parker, Esq., K&L Gates LLP, 200 South Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 3900, Miami, FL 33131; Email: [email protected]. All such notices and communications shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.
22. No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the UCC or any other applicable law shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under the UCC or any other applicable law preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on Holder in any case shall entitle Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Holder to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
23. Severability of Provisions.

24. Non-Assignment. Debtor shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder or any part thereof to any other person without Holder’s prior written consent. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of Debtor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Holder.
25. Integration of Terms. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto.
26. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

28. Collateral Agent.
(a) All items of Collateral and any interest therein to be delivered to or held by Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by Holder, for the benefit of itself. Debtor may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of Holder in all matters referred to in this Agreement.
(b) Holder shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Neither Holder nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder to the maximum extent permitted by law. The duties of Holder shall be mechanical and administrative in nature.
(c) Prior to delivery of a written notice from Holder that an Event of Default has occurred (“Notice of Default”), Holder shall have the power, but not the obligation, to take such actions as Holder in its discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect, preserve, or otherwise protect the security interest and Liens in the Collateral or any part thereof. After a Notice of Default has been delivered by Holder, Holder shall take such actions under this Agreement as it deems desirable, necessary or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and from which no appeal has been taken and as to which the time the right to appeal has expired.
(d) All proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied as follows:
(i) first, to the payment of all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Holder in connection with retaking, holding, collecting, or liquidating the Collateral, until paid in full;
(ii) second, to payment of all fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts owed to Holder under Sections 19 or 28(c) or otherwise under this Agreement, until paid in full;
(iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, expenses and indemnities owed to Holder, until paid in full;
(iv) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting interest owed to Holder, until paid in full;
(v) fifth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Secured Note, until paid in full;
(vi) sixth, to pay any other Obligations owed to Holder, until paid in full; and
(vii) last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Debtor or as otherwise required by law.
-11-
(e) Holder, in consultation with Debtor, shall have the right to appoint a third-party collateral agent; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the results of such consultation with Debtor, the right of Holder to appoint a successor shall be exercised by Holder in its sole discretion.
(f) Holder shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in Holder’s possession. Holder shall not be liable for (i) any action taken or omitted by it in its discretion under or in connection with this Agreement, or any other applicable document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other agreement or document, express or implied, it is agreed that (i) Holder shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, (ii) Holder shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Holder to liability or that is contrary to applicable law; (iii) Holder may consult with legal counsel or independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall be entitled to fully rely upon any opinion of such counsel or accountant in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken by Holder in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; and (iv) Holder may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Holder.
(h) The provisions of this Section 28 are solely for the benefit of Holder, and Debtor shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
