Unless earlier converted into Units (as defined below), the principal and accrued interest of this Note will be due and payable by the Company as of the date that is 12 months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”).

This Note is one of a series of convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Series Notes”) issued by the Company to investors with identical terms and on the same form as set forth herein (except that the holder, principal amount and date of issuance may differ in each Note). The Company is offering the Series Notes in a total amount of up to $689,000 in principal and interest and if subject to conversion pursuant to Section 3 of this Note, is relying on the exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and will receive an additional $1,640,476 assuming the conversion of the Series Notes at a conversion price of $0.21 per Unit and the exercise of all Conversion Warrants.

Each Conversion Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of one year from the Mandatory Conversion Date.

3.2 Restricted Shares. This Warrant, the Units, the Conversion Shares, the Conversion Warrants, and the Warrant Shares (the “Securities”) will be restricted securities which may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they have been registered under the 1933 Act or unless the Company is satisfied that any proposed transfer is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.
