Events of Default. In the event of default when the principal balance is not paid before or on the due date (herein individually referred to as an "Event of Default"), the Holder of this Note may, at the Holder’s option, in addition to any other rights the Holder may have in equity or at law, declare this Note mature, and all sums owing hereon and under any instrument or agreement executed in connection with this Note shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, protest, demand, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of non-payment, notice of protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower:

(i)

The institution by Borrower of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Act, or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of Borrower, or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by Borrower in furtherance of any such action; or

(ii)

If, within sixty (60) days after the commencement of an action against Borrower (and service of process in connection therewith on Borrower) seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such action shall not have been resolved in favor of Borrower or all orders or proceedings

thereunder affecting the operations or the business of Borrower stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of Borrower of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Borrower or of all or any substantial part of the properties of Borrower, such appointment shall not have been vacated; or

Waivers. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Note, Borrower waives (i) all notices, demands and presentments for payments, (ii) all notices of non-payment, default, intention to accelerate maturity, acceleration of maturity, protest and dishonor, and (iii) diligence in taking any action to collect amounts hereunder and in the handling of any collateral securing this Note.

Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay some or all of the outstanding principal and interest due on this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date. In the event that Borrower prepays principal prior to the due date hereof, Borrower shall not be required to pay any interest in connection with such prepayment. In the event that Borrower prepays the principal after the first anniversary date hereof but prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall be required to pay interest only through the first anniversary date hereof, but shall not be required to pay any further interest.

Conversion.

6.1

Voluntary Conversion. The Holder has the right, at their option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of this Note, to convert this Note, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof, in whole or in part, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Restricted Common Stock, $.001 par value per share of APD Antiquities, Inc. (the "Common Stock"). The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be converted ("Conversion Shares") will be calculated at the rate of the $_________ per share. In the event the Holder converts all or a portion of their principal balance to restricted common stock, these shares will have piggy-back registration rights.

6.2

Delivery of Stock Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the conversation of this Note by the Holder, Borrower, at its expense, will issue and deliver to the Holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock and stock purchase warrants issuable upon such conversion. The Holder acknowledges that such shares will be legended, if and as required by applicable state and federal securities laws.

6.3

Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Borrower granting any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, Borrower shall, except in the event of a partial conversion, pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest that is not so converted, such payment to be in the form as provided below. Upon conversion of the Note, Borrower shall deliver, in addition to the certificates referenced in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, (i) in the event of a conversion of the entire principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest hereon (a "Complete Conversion"), a check payable to the Holder of any cash amounts payable as described above or (ii) in the event of a partial conversion of the Note, a new Note in the form and having the same terms hereof, dated as of the date of the conversion of this Note and having an original principal balance equal to the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest hereon, after giving effect to such partial conversion. Upon a Complete Conversion of this Note, Borrower shall be forever released from all of his obligations and liabilities under this Note, except Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Holder, within ten (10) days after the date of such conversion, any interest accrued and unpaid or unconverted to and including the date of such conversion, and no more.

Conversion Price Adjustments and Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions. In the event that APD Antiquities, Inc. should at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the

determination of Holder of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder of the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price shall be decreased or increased as may be appropriate.

7.1

Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased.

Assignment. This Note shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors, assigns, heirs and representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns.

Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of Borrower and the Holder of this Note. Borrower hereby waives any and all defenses it may have to the enforcement by the Holder of this Note.

10.

Transfer of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof. This Note may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Holder.

It is the intention of the parties that this Note shall be a negotiable instrument. Any provision of this Note which precludes this Note from being a negotiable instrument shall be deemed waived.

Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the Notes thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for APD Antiquities, Inc., such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Act.
