CONVERTIBLE NOTE

(this “Note”)

 Principal Amount: US $[ ] Original Issue Date: May [ ], 2025

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Dolphin Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to DOLPHIN ENTERTAINMENT, LLC (the “Investor”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of [ ] Dollars ($[ ]), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (as determined in accordance with Section 3 hereof) at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

1. Series. This Note has been issued pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Company and the Investor (the “Subscription Agreement”), and is dated the original issue date set forth above (the “Original Issue Date”). Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

2. Term; Maturity Date. This Note shall be for a term commencing on the Original Issue Date and ending on [ ] (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof.

3.Interest.

(a) Rate of Interest. This Note shall bear interest on the unpaid Principal Amount, from the Original Issue Date until such Principal Amount is repaid in full (or sooner converted), at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

(b) Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on a calendar monthly basis and be payable: (i) in arrears on the 15th day of each calendar month, (ii) upon any prepayment as provided under Section 4(b), and (iii) on the Maturity Date.

(c) Computation of Interest. All computations of the interest rate hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed.

4.Payments and Prepayments. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as this Note is outstanding and unpaid:

(a) Payment of Principal Amount and Interest. The unpaid Principal Amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable in cash on the Maturity Date.

B-1 
 

(b) Optional Prepayment. The unpaid Principal Amount may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, with 2 business days’ prior written notice to the Investor, without penalty or premium before the Maturity Date; provided, that all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges accrued as of the date of prepayment are also paid in full. Any prepayments shall not result in deferment or delay of the due date of any subsequent payment(s), including the Maturity Date.

(c) Documentary Stamps. The Company will pay for and affix all documentary stamps required by the laws of the State of Florida and will also pay all documentary stamp and other intangible taxes incurred as a result thereof.

5.Conversion.

(a) Optional Conversion of the Note.

The Investor shall have the right at any time following the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date to convert all or a portion of the Principal of this Note and the accrued interest thereon into shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 5(b), in an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the principal and interest being converted by (ii) $[ ] (the “Standard Conversion Price”).

The Investor 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 A (the “Notice of Conversion”).

The Company shall not be required to convert any securities, and no surrender of securities shall be effective for that purpose, while the stock transfer books of the Company for the Common Stock are closed for any purposes (but not for any period in excess of 15 days), but the surrender of securities for conversion during any period while such books are so closed shall become effective for conversion immediately upon the reopening of such books, as if the conversion had been made on the date such books were reopened, and with the application of the Conversion Price in effect at the date such books were reopened. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to convert any Note pursuant to any optional conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a), nor shall any conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a) be effective, unless and until the Investor provides a duly and validly executed Notice of Conversion to the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(b) Adjustment to the Conversion Price.

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 Standard 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 holders of the securities then outstanding 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.

B-2 
 

(c) Effect of Conversion. Upon the issuance of any Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5, such shares shall be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) 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 Investor 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.

(f) 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 5), 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 Investors, 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.

6.Events of Default; Remedies.

(a) Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (each an “Event of Default”) hereunder:

(i) if the Company fails to make payment of any sum payable with respect to the Note, or if the Company violates any of the agreements, promises, covenants, terms and conditions of the Note and such violation remains uncured for ten (10) business days after the earlier of (i) the date of the applicable Notice of Event of Default (as defined below) or (ii) the date that a Responsible Officer (as defined below) acquires knowledge of any such violation.

(ii) if the Company fails to maintain its corporate existence and such failure remains uncured for ten (10) business days after earlier of (i) the date of the applicable Notice of Event of Default or (ii) the date that a Responsible Officer acquires knowledge of any such failure;

(iii) if there shall be filed by or against the Company any petition for any relief under the bankruptcy laws of the United States now or hereafter in effect or any proceeding shall be commenced with respect to the Company under any insolvency, readjustment of debt, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect (whether at law or in equity), provided that in the case of any involuntary filing or the commencement of any involuntary proceeding against the Company such proceeding or petition shall have continued undismissed and unvacated for at least 60 days;

B-3 
 

(iv) if any proceeding, procedure or remedy supplementary to or in enforcement of a final non-appealable judgment (other than any judgment that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or any significant subsidiary, taken as a whole) shall be commenced against, or with respect to any material property of, the Company; or

(v) if any petition or application to any court or tribunal, at law or in equity, shall be filed by or against the Company for the appointment of any receiver or trustee for the Company or any material part of the property of the Company, provided that in the case of any involuntary filing against the Company, such proceeding or appointment shall have continued undismissed and unvacated for at least 60 days.

(b) Notice of Event of Default. Upon the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Chief Financial Officer (or principal accounting officer) (each a “Responsible Officer”) of the Company acquiring knowledge of the existence of an Event of Default, the Company shall send to the Investor a written notice (“Notice of Event of Default”) specifying the nature and period of existence of any Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(c) Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall occur for any reason, then and in any such event, in addition to all rights and remedies of the Investor under applicable law or otherwise, all such rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable alternatively, successively and concurrently, the Investor may, at its option, declare any or all amounts owing under this Note, to be due and payable, whereupon the then unpaid balance hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall forthwith become due and payable, together with interest accruing thereafter at the then applicable interest rate stated above until the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is paid in full, plus the costs and expenses of collection hereof, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and legal expenses.

(d) The Company’s Waivers. The Company (i) waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, (ii) agrees that it will not be necessary for the Investor to first institute suit in order to enforce payment of this Note and (iii) consents to any one or more extensions or postponements of time of payment, release, surrender or forbearance or other indulgence, without notice or consent.
