1. I am the Chief Executive Officer of defendant ADIAL PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (“Company” or “Defendant”). As such, I am fully familiar with all the facts and circumstances recited herein on personal knowledge. Company has its principal place of business at 1180 Seminole Trail, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901. On behalf of the Company, I hereby confess judgment in favor of _____________ (“Plaintiff”), in the amount of the Default Amount (as defined in the senior secured promissory note between the parties, dated ____________, 2018 (the “Note”)), less any payments made on or after the date of this affidavit of confession of judgment, plus interest at the default interest rate of 24.99% percent per annum on said amount. In no event shall interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law.

(c) Holder’s Right to Confession of Judgment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default and agreement of holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of (i) this Note and (ii) all of the Other Notes, and in addition to any other right or remedy of the Holder hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Holder or its legal counsel, each as the Company’s attorney-in-fact, to appear ex parte and without notice to the Company to confess judgment against the Holder for the unpaid amount of this Note as evidenced by the Affidavit of Confession of Judgment signed by the Company as of the Issue Date and to be completed by the Holder or its counsel pursuant to the foregoing power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Affidavit”). The Affidavit shall set forth the amount then due hereunder, plus attorney’s fees and cost of suit. The Company waives the right to contest Holder’s rights under this Section, including without limitation the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing right and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust such power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void, and such power shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as the Holder may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full.

In connection with the Agreement, the Parent has agreed to pay Dentons the sum of One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) over a fourteen month period of which: (i) $250,000 is due no later than May 15, 2017; and (ii) $250,000 is due no later than June 1, 2017 or the date of the closing of a debt financing by the Parent, whichever is sooner.
