WHEREAS, on or about [November 28, 2007/January 3, 2008], Lender and the Company entered into a Loan Agreement, [as Amended and Restated on January 3, 2008] (the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Lender loaned the Company the principal amount of ______________ (“Loan”); and
WHEREAS, in order to evidence the Loan, the Company issued the Lender a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of the Loan dated [November 28, 2007/January 3, 2008]; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3 of the Loan Agreement, Lender may convert (“Conversion Right”) all of the outstanding principal amounts of the Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock; and
WHEREAS, the Lender desires to exercise the Conversion Right, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agrees as follows:
1. Conversion. The Lender hereby elects to exercise the conversion right and convert the Loan into ___ (_____) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), according to the conditions set forth herein. Lender shall surrender the Note upon execution of this Agreement (the “Conversion”). Upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the rights of Lender pursuant to the Note and the Loan Agreement shall cease and the Company shall issue and deliver to Lender a stock certificate representing the Conversion Shares. Upon the Conversion, the Note shall be cancelled and the Note and the Loan Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.
2. Representations and Warranties of Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Lender, the following:
2.1. The Company’s Existence and Authority. The Company is a corporation, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Michigan. The person executing this Agreement has full power and complete authority to execute this Agreement and all related documents and, when executed, this Agreement will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
1
2.2. Capitalization. The authorized capital of the Company consists solely of 60,000 shares of common stock. Upon issuance of the Conversion Shares to the Lender, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
2.3. No Litigation.

3. Representations and Warranties of Lenders. Each Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

3.2. The Conversion Shares are being acquired for the Lender’s own account and solely for investment. The Lender has no present intention of distributing or selling any portion of the Conversion Shares;
3.3. The Conversion Shares are not registered under either the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (“Securities Act”) or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered or unless an exemption from registration is available thereunder.

In any case, the Lender may not sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, donate or otherwise transfer (whether or not for consideration) unless and until the Conversion Shares are registered or determined to be exempt from registration on the basis of a favorable opinion of the Company’s counsel and/or submission to the Company of such other evidence as may be satisfactory to such counsel that any such transfer shall not be in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable State securities laws;
3.4. The Lender’s investment in the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk and the Lender has taken full cognizance of and understand all of the risks associated therewith;
3.5. The Lender’s financial condition is such that he/she/it is able to bear the risk of holding the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time, and is further able to bear the risk of loss of his investment in the Company;
3.6. The Lender has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks associated with their investment in the Conversion Shares or that they have each obtained the advice of an attorney, certified public accountant or registered investment advisor with respect thereto;
2
3.7. The Lender has adequate means of providing for his/her/its own current needs and possible personal contingencies and they have no need for liquidity in their investment in the Conversion Shares and they are each able to bear the economic risks of such an investment for an indefinite period;
3.8. The Lender has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning their investment in the Conversion Shares and to obtain any additional information which the Company possesses or can obtain without unreasonable effort and expense that might be necessary in their judgment to verify any information which has been provided to them; and
3.9. The Lender is fully aware of the financial condition and business operations of the Company.
