CONVERTIBLE TERM NOTE
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement dated August _______, 2020 by and between Redwood Green Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), ____________ (the “Holder”), Borrower hereby promises to pay to Holder or his registered assigns or successors in interest, on order, the sum of __________ (the “Principal Amount”), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on August 1, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner paid.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
INTEREST
1.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Principal Amount outstanding under this Convertible Term Note (“Note”) shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to eight percent (8%). Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable in cash via wire on the Maturity Date whether by acceleration or otherwise (the “Payment Date”). All payments of both principal and interest shall be made at the address of the Holder as may be designated by the Holder hereof in writing to Borrower.
ARTICLE II
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
2.1 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Borrower will have the option of prepaying this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of this Note together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the day written notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) is given to the Holder. The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”) which date shall be seven (7) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the “Redemption Period”). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has a pending election to convert pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions initiated or made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1. Holder’s Conversion Rights. The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with interest and fees due hereon, into shares of Borrower’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and at a conversion price of $0.10 per share (“Conversion Price”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written notice of conversion not less than one (1) day prior to the date upon which such conversion shall occur.
3.3 Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion. (a) In the event that the Holder elects to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance of this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”). A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder. In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary.
3.4 Conversion Mechanics.
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the applicable Conversion Price.
2
(b) On the issue date hereof and until such time as an adjustment shall occur, the Conversion Price shall be $0.10 per share. The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
A. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
B. During the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
C. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
3.5 Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article IV, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.
ARTICLE IV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable grace period, the Holder may make all sums of principal, interest and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder immediately due and payable.
The occurrence of any of the following events set forth in Sections 4.1 through 4.8, inclusive, is an “Event of Default”:
3
4.1 Failure to Pay Principal, Interest or other Fees. The Borrower fails to pay when due any installment of principal, interest or other fees hereon in accordance herewith, or the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount due under any other promissory note issued by Borrower, and in any such case, such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days following the date upon which any such payment was due.
4.2 Breach of Covenant. The Borrower breaches any covenant or any other term or condition of this Note in any material respect, in any such case, such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after the occurrence thereof.
4.3 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in this Note shall, in any such case, be false or misleading in any material respect on the date that such representation or warranty was made or deemed made.

This Note may be transferred on the books of the Borrower by the registered Holder hereof, or by Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, only upon (i) delivery to the Borrower of a duly executed assignment of the Note, or part thereof, to the proposed new Holder, along with a current notation of the amount of payments received and net Principal Amount yet unfunded, and presentment of such Note to the Borrower for issue of a replacement Note, or Notes, in the name of the new Holder, (ii) the designation by the new Holder of such new Holder’s agent(s) for notice, such agent(s) to be the sole party(ies) to whom Borrower shall be required to provide notice when notice to Lender is required hereunder and who shall be the sole party(ies) authorized to represent the new Holder(s) in regard to modification or waivers under the Note, the Loan Agreement, or other Loan Documents; and any action, consent or waiver, (other than a compromise of principal and interest), when given or taken by the new Holder’s agent(s) for notice, shall be deemed to be the action of the new Holder, as such holders are recorded on the books of the Borrower, and (iii) compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all other applicable state and federal securities laws.
