2. Interest Payment and Due Date
Borrower will pay interest on the first calendar day of each month during the term of this Promissory Note (the “Note”). Interest for the first month shall be payable in cash upon execution.
Interest for the second through the seventh month of the Note shall be payable either in cash or in shares of Borrower’s stock at Borrower’s sole option.
During months two through seven of the term of the note, Borrower shall endeavor to pay at least Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) of the monthly interest in cash. If Borrower elects to pay the monthly interest in common stock of the Borrower, the number of shares issued in payment of the monthly interest then due will be determined based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock of the Borrower during the ten (10) trading days prior to the last trading day of the calendar month for which the interest is due with a ten percent (10%) discount applied thereto.
Beginning in month eight of the term of the Note, the monthly interest will be paid in cash or stock, at the sole discretion of the Lender, employing the same formula as employed in months two through seven.
3. Conversion
Lender shall have the option of converting up to two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) of the principal amount of this Note into common stock of Borrower. Such conversion at the election of Lender shall be at four and four tenths cents ($0.044) per share and shall convert into no more than four million five hundred forty five thousand four hundred fifty five (4,545,455) shares. The Lender may convert at anytime giving the Borrower fifteen (15) days notice of such conversion. When the Borrower is given notice of payment of the principal of the Note, either at the end of the Term of the Note or any Prepayment thereof, the Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to give notice to the Borrower of converting such payment in shares.
