(3) the Maker shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of collection of this Note, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, paid or incurred by the Holder hereof, whether paid or incurred in connection with collection by suit or otherwise.

Conversion. All or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest accrued hereon may be converted into shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Maker (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price of Two Cents ($0.02) per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), as follows:

(a) At any time after August 6, 2008, up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest accrued hereon may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

(b) At any time after February 6, 2009, up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest accrued hereon may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

(c) At any time after August 6, 2009, all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest accrued hereon may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

Any such conversion shall take place upon the delivery by the Holder of written notice of conversion to the Maker, together with this Note marked “cancelled.” The Maker shall promptly deliver to the Holder one or more certificates representing the shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note shall have been so converted. If the Holder elects to convert a portion, but not all, of the principal amount of this Note, then the Maker shall also promptly deliver to the Holder a new promissory note substantially similar to this Note but reflecting the new principal amount thereof.

At all times after August 6, 2008, the Maker shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized, but unissued shares of Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note as provided for herein. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to satisfy such conversion, then the Maker shall promptly take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

If at any time after the date hereof the Maker declares or authorizes any dividend (other than a cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, combination, exchange of shares of Common Stock, or there occurs any recapitalization, reclassification (including any consolidation or merger of which the Maker is not the surviving corporation), sale of property or assets, reorganization or liquidation, or if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock of the same or another class or classes of stock of the Maker, then the Maker shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall, upon conversion of the principal amount of this Note following such event, be entitled to receive the number of shares of stock or other securities or the cash or property of the Maker (or of the successor corporation or other entity resulting from any consolidation or merger) to which the shares of Common Stock (and any other securities) deliverable upon the conversion of the principal amount of this Note would have been entitled if the principal amount of this Note had been converted immediately prior to the earlier of (a) such event and (b) the record date, if any, set for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in such event, and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately so that the aggregate amount payable by the Maker upon the full conversion of this Note remains the same.

The Maker shall not effect any recapitalization or reclassification unless, upon the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or entity shall by written instrument assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder the shares of stock, securities, cash or property that the Holder shall be entitled to acquire in accordance with the foregoing provisions, which instrument shall contain provisions calculated to ensure for the Holder, to the greatest extent practicable, the benefits provided for in this Note.

Limitation on Conversion Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note or any interest accrued hereon for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder to exceed Four and Ninety-Nine One Hundredths Percent (4.99%) of the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock following such exercise.

For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of this Note and any interest accrued hereon with respect to which the determination is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining principal amount of this Note held by the Holder and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Maker beneficially owned by the Holder (including, without limitation, any promissory notes, convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this of this Note, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Payee’s most recent Quarterly Report or Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Payee or (3) any other notice by the Payee or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Upon the written request of the Holder, the Maker shall promptly, but in no event later than one business day following the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion of the principal amount of this Note and any interest accrued thereon by the Holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

Registration of Securities. The Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to require the Maker to register this Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note and interest accrued thereon for resale to the public under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws. Any request for such registration shall be made by delivery of written notice to the Maker. The Holder shall promptly furnish to the Maker such information as the Maker shall reasonably request to enable it to prepare and file any and all required registration statements and amendments thereto. Except as may be required by law, the Maker shall pay all fees and costs incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any applicable state securities authorities.

Waivers. The Maker and each endorser of this Note severally waives demand, protest, presentment and notice of maturity, non-payment or protest and any and all requirements necessary to hold each of them liable as a maker or endorser hereof.

The waiver by the Holder of the Maker’s prompt and complete performance of, or default under, any provision of this Note shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and the failure by the Holder to exercise any right or remedy which it may possess hereunder shall not operate nor be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy upon the occurrence of any subsequent breach or default.

Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance, with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

Entire Agreement. This Note constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and arrangements, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Note may not be modified, amended, altered or changed unless by a written instrument executed and delivered by the Maker.

Benefits; Binding Effect. This Note shall be for the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Maker and the Payee and their respective successors and assigns.

Jurisdiction and Venue. Any claim or dispute arising out of, connected with, or in any way related to this Note shall be instituted by the complaining party and adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, Florida, and the Maker consents to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, such courts. In no event shall the Maker contest the personal jurisdiction of such courts or the venue of such courts. The Maker acknowledges that the provisions of this paragraph constitute a material inducement for the Payee to extend credit to the Maker as evidenced by this Note, and that but for the inclusion of such provision in this Note the Payee would not continue to extend credit to the Maker.

Waiver of Trial by Jury. In any suit for the collection of any amount, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, which shall have become due and payable under this Note, the Maker knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right which it may have to a trial by jury. The Maker acknowledges that the provisions of this paragraph constitute a material inducement for the Payee to extend credit to the Maker as evidenced by this Note, and that but for the inclusion of such provision in this Note the Payee would not continue to extend credit to the Maker.
