2.2         Interest. This Note bears simple interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. No interest payments are due until the Maturity Date.

3.           Security. This Note is unsecured.

4.           Conversion. The Principal Amount and accrued interest of this Note is convertible into Common Stock as follows:

4.1         Automatic and Elective Conversion.

4.1.1       Elective Conversion by Holder. Holder shall have the right, upon providing written notice to the Company, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share (the “Elective Conversion Price”). If Holder elects to convert all or any part of this Note, then Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company at the principal address of the Company within three (3) Business Days of such notice. In the event that only a portion of this Note is being converted, the Company shall issue a replacement Note representing the remaining principal amount of the Note that has not been converted.

4.1.2       Automatic Conversion. Unless earlier converted pursuant to Section 4.1.1 above, should the closing price of the Common Stock as reflected on the OTC Market reach $1.20 or higher, then the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued interest on this Note shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Holder or the Company, convert into that number of shares of Common Stock that results by dividing (i) the Conversion Amount by (ii) $0.80 (the “Automatic Conversion Price”). This Note shall be cancelled effective upon such automatic conversion and all rights of the Holder and all obligations of the Company with respect to payment of principal and interest under this Note shall immediately cease and terminate effective at the closing.

4.2         Effectiveness of Conversion. Any conversion pursuant to Section 4.1.1 shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which this Note is surrendered at the principal office of the Company. Any conversion pursuant to Section 4.1.2 shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which the closing price of the Common Stock as reflected on the OTC Market first reaches $1.20 or higher. At such time as the conversion has been effected, the rights of Holder under this Note, to the extent of the conversion, shall cease, and Holder shall thereafter be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

4.3         Issuance of Certificates. As soon as is reasonably practicable after a conversion has been effected, the Company shall deliver to Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any fractional share) issuable by reason of such conversion pursuant to this Section 4, each in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as Holder has specified.

4.4        No Fractional Shares. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions hereof, be deliverable upon conversion of this Note, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay an amount equal to the value of such fractional share as determined by the Elective Conversion Price or the Automatic Conversion Price, as applicable.

4.5        Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as will be issuable upon either the automatic or elective conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note will be duly and validly authorized, issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

4.6         Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate only if the Company is not required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion. If Conversion Shares are to be issued in the name of a person other than the Holder, the Holder will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid and will deliver such certificates and opinions as reasonably requested by the Company. No fee will be charged to the Holder for any conversion, except for such transfer taxes, if any.

5.           Notes Comprising a Series. The Company and Holder acknowledge and agree that this Note is one of a series of promissory notes (the “Series”) issued by the Company, each of which promissory notes is identical except for one or more of the identity of the Holder thereof, the principal amount, and the date of issuance.
