Address: 10000, N.E. 7th Avenue, Suite 100-C
Vancouver, WA 98685
PAYEE: NOVORI JEWELRY INC.
Address: 5550 152nd Street, Suite 206
Surrey, BC V3S 5J9
RECITALS:
A. | WHEREAS pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Debt Agreement among Maker and Payee dated February 10, 2009 (the “Agreement”), Payee has agreed to assume certain debts of Maker, and in consideration, Maker has agreed to pay to Payee the sum of $80,975 in principal, plus interest pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note; and |
B. | WHEREAS pursuant to the terms of this Note, Maker is agreeing to settle all outstanding debts owed to Payee. |
NOW, THEREFORE:
1. | Promise to Pay. In consideration for Payee assuming certain debt obligations of Maker, Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee, at Payee’s address set out above or at such other place as Payee may designate by written notice to Maker, the principal sum of $80,975 (the “Principal Balance”), together with any accrued interest and any fees or charges under this Note. Any accrued interest and any fees or charges under this Note shall become part of the Principal Balance. This Note reflects all monies due by Maker to Payee as of the date of the Agreement. |
2. | Interest. The Principal Balance shall be repaid by Maker to Payee with interest, which shall accrue on the outstanding Principal Balance at the rate of six percent (6%) per year, beginning nine (9) months from the Effective Date, and shall continue to accrue until all sums due under this Note are paid in full. Interest on the outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a 365 or 366 day year (as applicable) to the due date of the payment. |
5
3. | Terms of Repayment. The Principal Balance, together with any accrued interest and any fees or charges, shall be payable as follows until the outstanding Principal Balance has been paid: |
| (a) | The “Immediate Debts” shall be payable in one (1) installment of $5,000, due ten (10) days after the Effective Date; |
| (b) | The “Short-Term Debts” shall be payable in three (3) installments of $15,625 every (30) days, with the first installment due thirty (30) days after the Effective Date; and |
.
| (c) | The “Mid-Term Debts” shall be payable in sixteen (16) monthly installments of $1,818.75 per month with the first installment due on May 1, 2009, and the rest of the installments due every month thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month for a period of fifteen (15) months. |
4. | Acknowledgements. Maker and Payee each acknowledge that as of the Effective Date: |
| (a) | the total amount owed of the “Short-Term Debts” owed by Maker to Payee is $46,875; |
| (b) | the total amount owed of the “Mid-Term Debts” owed by Maker to Payee is $29,100. |
5. | Late Charge. Maker shall pay to Payee a late charge of ten percent (10%) of any payment under this Note that is not received by Payee within five (5) days after Maker receives notice from Payee of failure to timely make such payment (the “Late Charge”). Maker recognizes that any late payment shall result in Payee incurring additional expense in servicing the loan evidenced by this Note, in terms of the loss of use of funds due to Payee and in frustration of Payee’s commitments. Maker agrees that Payee shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused by any late payment, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Therefore, Maker and Payee hereby agree that the Late Charge is a reasonable estimate of such damages to Payee. Any Late Charge shall be applied on a one-time-only basis with respect to each delinquency. |
6. | Conversion Rights. |
| (a) | For each payment under this Note is not received by Payee within five (5) days of its due date, Payee shall have the option to convert up to $16,195 of the outstanding Principal Balance, together with any accrued interest and any fees or charges (a “Conversion”), into shares of Maker’s common stock (the " Conversion Shares"), at a twenty percent (20%) discount to market on the day of such Conversion. |
| (b) | Payee shall give written notice of any Conversion to Maker, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the "Conversion Notice"), at Maker’s address specified above. Such Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date on which such Conversion Notice, duly completed and executed, shall have been sent in accordance with section 16 of this Note. |
| (c) | As promptly as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after any Conversion, Maker, at its expense, shall cause Payee's name to be entered in the register of the shareholders of Maker in respect of the Conversion Shares and shall issue to Payee certificates evidencing same and deliver them to Payee at Payee’s address set out in the Conversion Notice, at Maker’s expense. "Business Day" for this purpose means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the city of Vancouver, Washington are required or authorized to be closed. |
7. | Legend Removal. Upon Payee’s written request, Maker agrees to arrange for legal opinions and to give instructions to Maker’s transfer agent and to cover all costs to remove all restrictive legends on the share certificates representing any Conversion Shares held by Payee more than six (6) months after the Effective Date. |
6
8. | Transfer of Conversion Shares. All Conversion Shares shall be sold only in accordance with the Lock-Up Agreement, attached hereto as Appendix 2, which the parties agree to execute as of the Effective Date. |
9. | Prepayment. Maker may prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. |
10. | Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. Maker agrees to pay Payee any costs Payee may incur in filing any type of court action or suit as a result of Maker’s failure to make the payments provided for in this Note, including Payee’s attorneys’ fees. If Payee files a court action or suit and wins, Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts due under this Note, Payee’s court costs and its reasonable attorneys’ fees as determined by the trial court and any appellate court or courts in the event the case is appealed, and on any petition for review. |
11. | Consent and Waiver. All suretyship defenses, including presentment, notice of dishonor and protest, are hereby waived by Maker and any endorsers of this Note. Any extension, waiver or renewal shall not affect the liability of Maker or any endorser. |
12. | Controlling Law. The parties agree to attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia to resolve any dispute relating to this Note. |
13. | Security. Pursuant to the terms of this Note, the convertible option of this Note shall provide the security for Payee. |
14. | Stock Splits. Maker and Payee agree that no forward or reverse splits of Maker’s common stock shall be permitted for a period of not less than two (2) years after the Effective Date unless agreed upon in writing by the parties. |
15. | Authority of Signatories. Maker (and the undersigned representative of Maker, if any) represents that Maker has the full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Note, and that this Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Maker. |
16. | Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given under this Note shall be in writing and shall be considered to have been given if delivered by hand or mailed by prepaid registered post in Canada or in the United States, to the address of each party set out above, or to such other address as either party may designate in the manner set out above. |

Any attempted assignment in contravention of this Note shall be null and void and of no effect. This Note is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns and no provision hereof, whether express or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to give any other person any rights or remedies, whether legal or equitable, hereunder. |
19. | Amendments. This Note may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in writing signed by Maker and Payee. |
20. | Currency. All references to currency in this Note are to U.S. dollars. |
