CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
St. Louis, Missouri
Date Effective: [Closing Date]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SARS Corporation, a Nevada Corporation (“SARS” or the “Promisor”) hereby promises to pay to the order of The Clarence Group, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (the “Holder”), the maximum aggregate total sum of Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000.00) which may be loaned from Holder to Promisor from time to time upon the mutual agreement of both Promisor and Holder pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”).
1. Interest. Beginning on the date first above written, the date of the initial Loan (the “Effective Date”), the outstanding principal balance of the Loans advanced hereunder shall accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest”) until paid in full to Holder. Notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereafter defined) and for so long as such Event of Default continues, Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Note amount at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is less (the “Default Interest Rate”).
2. Payments. Promisor shall make quarterly payments on all accrued but unpaid Interest on the first day of each fiscal quarter beginning September 1, 2009 until January 1, 2012, at which time the entire principal balance of all Loans made under the Note, together with any accrued but unpaid Interest and any other sums due hereunder shall be immediately due in payable in full.
3. Application of Payments.
3.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, payments under this Note shall be applied: (i) first to the repayment of any sums incurred by Holder for the payment of any expenses in enforcing the terms of this Note; (ii) then to the payment of the Default Interest Rate; (iii) then to the payment of Interest then accrued and due on the unpaid principal balance; and (iv) then to the reduction of principal.
3.2. Promisor may prepay all or any part of the principal without penalty.
3.3. Upon payment in full of the Note and applicable accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, this Note shall be marked “Paid in Full” and returned to the Promisor.
4. Note Convertible to Stock of Promisor. At any time following the execution of this Note, Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans advanced under this Note and all accrued but unpaid Interest thereon into common stock of Promisor, par value $0.001, (the “Common Stock”) at the rate of twenty five cents ($0.25) per share. To exercise Holder’s right to convert the debt evidenced hereunder into Common Stock, Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office, (a) a written notice clearly evidencing Holder’s exercise of its conversion rights (“Election Notice”), and (b) this Note with all applicable exhibits. The Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within twenty (20) days after delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice and this Note, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock converted hereunder. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise, in whole or in part, of Holder’s conversion rights. If any exercise in whole or in part of Holder’s conversion rights would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the Holder the unconverted balance of any amount owed under this Note by Company check. At any time or times the Common Stock issuable is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of the Company’s stock, whether by recapitalization, combination, consolidation, reclassification or otherwise (“Reclassification”), the conversion rate shall adjust proportionately to the issued and outstanding Common Stock to maintain the same percentage of common stock ownership that would be deliverable upon conversion prior to, and following, such Reclassification.
5. Waiver of Notice. The Promisor hereby waives diligence, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.
6. Transfer. This Note may not be transferred by Holder at any time without the written consent of Promisor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. This Note may not be transferred by Promisor without the written consent of Holder, which consent may be withheld in Holder’s discretion.
7. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”), not cured in any applicable cure period, shall constitute an Event of Default of the Promisor:
7.1 a payment is received by Holder more than five (5) days after its due date;
