This Note may be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or assigned by the Holder in its sole discretion.

 

4.CONVERSION. Upon not less than five (5) days advance written notice ("Conversion Notice"), at any time after the date six (6) months from the Effective Date of this Note and from time to time thereafter, the Holder at its sole option, may convert the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, or any portion of the Principal Amount hereof, and any accrued interest, in whole or in part, into shares of the common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock";.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Holder may not convert this Note if such conversion would cause Holder's beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 4.9% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the Holder at its sole discretion, may waive this 4.9% conversion limit. However, the Holder agrees not to convert this Note if such conversion would cause Holder's beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 9.9% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Any common shares converted under this Note need to be delivered to the Holder within three (3) business days of the receipt of Conversion Notice.

Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Holder, may, by written notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable (the thirty (30) day notice period in Section 1, above, will not be applicable in the case of an Event of Default), in which event it shall immediately be and become due and payable; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth in paragraph (d) or paragraph (e) hereof, all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable without any such notice.

If not otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Services Agreement. Further, all of the terms, representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and conditions set forth in the Services Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent that there is a conflict between any condition, term or provision of this Note and the Services Agreement, the conditions, terms, and provisions set forth herein shall specifically supersede the conflicting conditions, provisions and/or terms in the Services Agreement.

Interest shall not be compounded and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, with any calculation based upon a partial month of less than thirty (30) days based on actual days lapsed. The Company will make interest payments semi-annually, with the first interest payment due six (6) months from the Effective Date hereof and on each 6 months from such date until all interest and outstanding principal is paid in full.

 

4.PREPAYMENT. The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note before the Maturity Date, with a penalty or premium equal to 20% of the Principal; provided, that it shall provide Holder with fifteen (15) days’ advanced written notice of its intent to prepay this Note.

If the Company fails to timely deliver the shares through willful failure or deliberate hindrance, the Company shall pay to Holder in immediately available funds $1,000.00 per day past the Delivery Date that the shares are actually issued. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued or, at the option of Holder, may be added to the principal under any Note. The Company agrees that the right to convert the Notes or exercise its Warrants is a valuable right to Holder and a material consideration of it entering this Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver shares as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Holder due to any such breach.

15.CONFORMITY WITH LAW. It is the intention of the Company and of the Holder to conform strictly to applicable usury and similar laws. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, it is agreed that the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable usury and similar laws that are contracted for, chargeable or receivable under or in respect of this Note, shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by such laws, and any excess, whether occasioned by acceleration or maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall be canceled automatically, and if theretofore paid, shall be either refunded to the Company or credited on the Principal Amount of this Note.

 

16.WAIVER. Holder shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Note unless such waiver is given in a dated writing signed by Holder. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right pursuant to this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Holder of any provision of this Note or of any rights against any individual, entity or collateral shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of strict compliance of any other provision of this Note by any other individual or entity. No prior waiver by Holder or course of dealing between Holder and any individual or entity collectively constituting the Company shall constitute a waiver of any rights of Holder or of any obligations pursuant to this Note.

 

17.This Note and the Services Agreement (and the warrant issued thereunder) constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and may not be altered or amended except by written agreement signed by the parties.
