EIGHT PERCENT (8%) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE


THIS DEBENTURE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE ACT OR THE LAWS OF THE APPLICABLE STATE OR A "NO ACTION" OR INTERPRETIVE LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE STATUTES.



THIS DEBENTURE (the “Debenture”) is a duly authorized issue of an Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Debentures of Fresh Medical Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Debenture is issued in part pursuant to and in accordance with the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of, and/or Regulation D promulgated under,  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to __________________________or the permitted registered holder hereof (the “Holder”), the principal sum of US$____________ _____________) (the “Initial Principal Amount”) or such lesser principal amount following the conversion or conversions of this Debenture in accordance with Paragraph 2 (the “Outstanding Principal Amount”), plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount. The Maturity Date of the Debenture is 36 months from the first date of the month following the signing of the Debenture by the Company.


Interest shall accrue from the Issue Date upon the Outstanding Principal at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum based upon a 365 day year.  The principal amount of, and accrued interest under, this Debenture is payable in such coin or currency of the United States at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time.


The Company will pay the Outstanding Principal, and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the maturity date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind (subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 below), to the Holder as of the maturity date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Debenture Register.  All or any portion of this Debenture may be prepaid without penalty.  Prepayments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and second to Outstanding Principal.


The forwarding of such check shall constitute a payment of principal and interest hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal and interest on this Debenture to the extent of the sum represented by such check.


This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:


1.

Conversion of Debentures.  The Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its option, to convert all or any lesser portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount into shares of common stock at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to sixty-five cents ($0.65) per share. In the event of any stock split, dividend, combination or similar event occurring after a Conversion Date and prior to the issuance of the respective stock certificates, the Conversion Price will be subject to appropriate adjustment.  Conversion of this Debenture into shares of common stock shall be effectuated by surrendering the Debenture to be converted to the Company, with the form of Notice of Conversion attached to the Debenture as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder of the Debenture evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert the Debenture.  The Notice of Conversion must be given to the Company as provided below not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.  Interest accrued or accruing from the date of issuance to the Conversion Date (but not previously paid) on the amounts so converted shall be paid on the Maturity Date.



1








No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of shares of common stock will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares of common stock issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with .5 or greater being rounded up and less than .5 rounded down).  The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion.  Notice of Conversion may be given by facsimile to the Company at ###-###-####, Attention: President or, if by physical delivery of the Notice of Conversion to the Company, at the address for the Company contained in the Subscription Agreement. Upon conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, the Holder shall submit this original Debenture to the Company for cancellation.


Upon the delivery by the Holder of a Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder, the Company shall issue and, within five (5) business days after actual delivery to the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Deadline”), deliver to or upon the order of the Holder one or more certificates (the “Certificates”) representing that number of shares of shares of common stock into which the portion of the Debenture converted is convertible, as shall be determined in accordance herewith.


The number of shares of common stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal amount of the Debenture to be converted at such time by the Conversion Price.


Except as otherwise permitted under Section 4(a)(1) under the 1933 Act, as a result of the application of Rule 144 promulgated thereunder, shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be issued with the following, or a comparable, legend:
