Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  The Maker is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Maker has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  The Maker is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Maker or its business (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
 

(b)
Corporate Power.  The Maker has all requisite corporate power to issue this Note and to carry out and perform its obligations under this Note.  The Maker’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the issuance of this Note based upon a reasonable belief that the issuance of this Note is appropriate for the Maker after reasonable inquiry concerning the Maker’s financing objectives and financial situation.
 

(c)
Authorization.  All corporate action on the part of the Maker, the Board and the Maker’s stockholders necessary for the issuance and delivery of this Note has been taken.  This Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Maker enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws.

(e)
Compliance with Laws.  To its knowledge, the Maker is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, which violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
 

(f)
Compliance with Other Instruments.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Note will not result in any violation of the Maker’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Maker (except for the Security Agreement) or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Maker, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Maker has obtained all waivers reasonably necessary with respect to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, including any notice or offering periods provided for as part of any such rights, in order for the Maker to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder without any third party obtaining any rights to cause the Maker to offer or issue any securities of the Maker as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Ability to Bear Economic Risk.  The Noteholder acknowledges that investment in the Note involves a high degree of risk, and represents that the Noteholder is able, without materially impairing the Noteholder’s financial condition, to hold the Note for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Noteholder’s investment.
 

(d)
Further Limitations on Disposition.  Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Noteholder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Note unless and until:
 

i.
There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs i. and ii. above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Noteholder to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Noteholder in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Noteholders hereunder.
 

(e)
Accredited Investor Status.  The Noteholder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act.
 

(f)
No “Bad Actor” Disqualification.  The Noteholder represents and warrants that neither (A) the Noteholder nor (B) any entity that controls the Noteholder or is under the control of, or under common control with, the Noteholder, is subject to any Disqualification Event, except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Act and disclosed in writing in reasonable detail to the Maker.  The Noteholder represents that the Noteholder has exercised reasonable care to determine the accuracy of the representation made by the Noteholder in this paragraph, and agrees to notify the Maker if the Noteholder becomes aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Noteholder hereunder inaccurate.
