FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION RECEIVED, the undersigned, POWER3 MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC., a New York corporation (“Maker"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of _________________________________ a resident of _________________ whose address is ______________________ (together with such party's successors and permitted assigns, "Holder"), in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as Holder may direct, the principal amount of _______________________________ ($_______) (the “Principal Amount”) loaned by Holder to Maker under this Convertible Demand Promissory Note (the "Note"), together with accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount at such interest rates and at such times as are specified in this Note.
 
1.    Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit A attached hereto.
 
2.    The Loan.
 
2.1    Loan.  On the date hereof, Holder has made a loan in the Principal Amount to Maker (the “Loan”) and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note.
 
2.2    Interest.  The Loan made under this Note shall bear interest from the date hereof until paid or otherwise forgiven pursuant to the terms hereof at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12.0%) per annum until paid, commencing on November 4, 2008, computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each but for the actual number of days outstanding.  All past due principal on this Note will bear interest from maturity (whether at scheduled maturity, upon acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default (as defined below) or otherwise) until paid at the Past Due Rate.
 

 
NOTWITHSTANDING the foregoing or any other term in this Note to the contrary, it is the intention of Holder and Maker to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if Holder contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration in connection with this Note which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be canceled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at Holder's option be applied to the Principal Amount or be refunded to Maker.  In determining whether any interest exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread in equal parts throughout the term of this Note.
 
3.    Payments.
 
3.1    Maturity Date.  Subject to earlier conversion pursuant to Section 4.1, this Note shall mature, and the Amount Outstanding shall be due and payable, on the earlier to occur of (each a "Maturity Date") (i) November 4, 2009 or (ii) the date on which the Loan is accelerated due to an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.2.  Subject to earlier conversion pursuant to Section 4, all accrued and unpaid interest will be payable in arrears, upon the Maturity Date, when all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable.
 
3.2    Prepayments.  Maker may not prepay this Note in whole or in part without giving Holder ten (10) days prior written notice.
 
3.3    Payments Generally.  Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts expressed under this Note and all payments due under this Note are expressed in and shall be due in U.S. Dollars.  Maker shall make all payments required under this Note not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on any date when due at such location as is specified by Holder in writing in immediately available funds.  Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day.  If the date for payment of any obligation is not specified in this Note, such obligations shall be payable upon demand.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Maker under this Note shall be made without deduction for any taxes.
 
4.    Conversion.
 
4.1    Optional Conversion.    Holder will have the option, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to convert all or any portion of the Amount Outstanding into shares of the Common Stock, at a conversion price equal to $0.03 per share.
 
4.2    No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of any fractional Shares to which Holder would otherwise be entitled upon any such purchase, Maker will pay Holder a cash amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the conversion price, subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, combinations or other adjustments to the Common Stock.
 
4.3    No Impairment.  Maker will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the purchase rights of Holder hereunder against impairment.
