GTX CORP.

Secured Amended & Restated Convertible Debenture

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GTX CORP. (hereinafter called the “Obligor” or the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to 112359 FACTOR FUND, LLC (the “Holder”) or its successors and assigns the amount identified as the balance due for each of the three (3) obligations listed below (each, an “Obligation”) in the form of cash or Obligor common stock on the terms and conditions hereof on or before the third (3rd) anniversary (each, a “Maturity Date”) of each stated purchase price payment (each, a “Tranche”) date (each, a “Tranche Payment Date”) according to the following schedule:

Tranche Number Tranche Payment Date Tranche   Obligation Maturity Date
1 February 27, 2013 $7,727.50   $16,517.76 February 26, 2016
2 April 24, 2013 $25,000.00   $53,438.21 April 23, 2016
3 June 27, 2013 $25,000.00   $53,438.21 June 26, 2016
Total Principal       $123,394.18  

Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unconverted outstanding total balance due (the “Original Principal Amount”) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of the Applicable Federal Rate or SIX PERCENT (6%). Interest shall be due and payable to Holder on the earlier to occur of (a) the Maturity Date or (b) the date upon which a Default Event has occurred hereunder; provided, however, the interest amounts due to Holder hereunder shall be forgiven in the event that the principal amount of each relevant Obligation has been converted or has otherwise been paid in full on or before the applicable Maturity Date. 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.

This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:

Section 1. Conversion.

(a) Conversion Procedure.

(i) The outstanding amounts due under this Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Sections 1(b) and 1(c) hereof). The Debenture shall continue to be convertible until it is satisfied in full. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 1(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) by the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) of principal amount being converted, ten dollars ($10) per Trading Day (increasing to twenty dollars ($20) per Trading Day on the seventh Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered (“Liquidated Damages”).

1
 

(ii) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”) which Conversion Notice shall identify which Obligation is subject to conversion for such Conversion Notice. The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the “Conversion Date.” Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Certain Conversion Restrictions. A Holder may not convert this Debenture to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Obligor the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Obligor shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 1(a)(i) and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Obligor. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(c) Conversion Price and Adjustments to Conversion Price.

(i) The “Conversion Price” in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to 100% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing market prices for the Common Stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days preceding conversion. All market and trading prices shall be the prices as posted on the OTCQB or on the principal US National Stock Exchange or other electronic stock trading platform upon which the Company may at that time be listed.

(ii) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal amount and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Debenture into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder of this Debenture shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Obligor into which the then outstanding principal amount and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled, or (B) require the Obligor to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus all other amounts due and payable thereon. The entire prepayment price shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.

(iii) All calculations under this Section 1 shall be rounded up to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.

(iv) If (A) the Obligor shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Obligor shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Obligor shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Obligor shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Obligor is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Obligor, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (E) the Obligor shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Obligor; then, in each case, the Obligor shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Obligor, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day calendar period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

(d) Other Restrictions.

(i) Obligor shall maintain a sufficient amount of authorized common shares to enable conversion of all amounts due under this Debenture.

(ii) Unless waived by the Obligor, Holder shall not sell Common Stock issued to Holder hereunder at a rate that exceeds 20% of the average monthly trading volume for Obligor’s Common Stock.

(e) Other Provisions.

(i) The Obligor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable pursuant to this Section 1 shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable.

(ii) Upon a conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Closing Bid Price at such time. If the Obligor elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

(iii) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Obligor shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such Debenture so converted and the Obligor shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Obligor the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Obligor that such tax has been paid.

(iv) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for the Obligor’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(v) The Obligor shall bear the cost of transfer agent fees and equity issuance fees (collectively, the “Post-Closing Expenses”), which amount shall be paid directly by the Obligor.

3
 

(f) A “Default Event” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(i) Any breach of any provision of this Debenture or any Transaction Document by and between Holder and Obligor.

(ii) Withdrawal from registration of the Obligor under the Exchange Act, voluntary or involuntary.
