Subject to the Holder's right to convert, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at the annual rate of twelve percent (12%) and be payable in arrears commencing _____________, 200__ and quarterly thereafter, and on the Due Date, accelerated or otherwise, when the principal and remaining accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable, or sooner as described below.

2. Conversion.

2.1. Option to Convert. The Holder shall have the right, from and after the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, at his option, to convert, in whole or in part, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the then outstanding balance of the Principal Amount of the Note, and at the Holder's election, the interest accrued on the Note, into shares of the Corporation’s common stock the number of shares to be determined by dividing the outstanding balance of the Principal Amount of the Note, together with any interest, to be converted by $0.003 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided below in Section 7.
 

 
2.2. Exercise of Conversion Right. The conversion right shall be exercised, if at all, by surrender of the Note to the Corporation, together with written notice of election executed by the Holder, which may be in the form which is included with this Note (hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Notice”) to convert such Note or a specified portion thereof into the shares of common stock of the Corporation. Such notice shall be sent to the Corporation at the address set forth below in Section 11 hereof.

For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso.

6. Registration Rights.
 
6.1 Registration Rights Granted. The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to Holder.
 
(i) On one occasion, for a period commencing one hundred and twenty-one (121) days after the date hereof, but not later than two (2) years after the date hereof (“Request Date”), upon a written request therefor, the Company shall prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “33 Act”) registering the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note (the “Registrable Securities”) which are the subject of such request for unrestricted public resale by the Holder thereof. For purposes of Sections 6.1(i) and 6.1(ii), Registrable Securities shall not include (A) Common Stock which is registered for resale in an effective registration statement, (B) included for registration in a pending registration statement, or (C) which has been issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
 
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the Holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the Holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or Section 6.4 hereof, the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 6.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.
 
3

 
(iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is received by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(i), the Company has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of any of its securities for the Company's own account and the Company actually does file such other registration statement, such written request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 6.1(ii) rather than Section 6.1(i), and the rights of the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such written request shall be governed by Section 6.1(ii).
 
(iv) The Company shall file with the Commission a Form S-3 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) (or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act not later than) sixty (60) days after the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), and cause to be declared effective not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). The Company will register not less than a number of shares of common stock in the aforedescribed registration statement that is equal to 150% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of Holder, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than Holder. The Registration Statement will immediately be amended or additional registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities.
 
6.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 6.1(i), 6.1(ii), or (iv) to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
 
(a) subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement required by Section 6, with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the Holder of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and SEC letters of comment (but not any information that is material, non-public information unless such information is also promptly publicly disclosed) and notify Holder (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by Holder) on or before 6 pm ET on the same business day that the Company receives notice that (i) the SEC has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 6.2(a) shall be a material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the Note and a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 6.4 of this Note);
 
4

 
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration statement has been effective for a period of two (2) years, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
 
(c) furnish to the Seller, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Common Stock covered by such registration statement;
 
(d) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller shall request in writing, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
 
(e) if applicable, list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
 
(f) immediately notify the Seller when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and
 
(g) provided same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Seller, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the Seller, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
 
6.3. Provision of Documents. In connection with each registration described in this Section 6, Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

6.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Seller agree that the Seller will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date and not declared effective by the SEC by the Effective Date, and any registration statement required under Section 6.1(i) or 6.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days after written request and declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after such request, and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section 6 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or before the Filing Date, (B) is not declared effective on or before the Effective Date, (C) the Registration Statement is not declared effective within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral communication from the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or that the SEC has no further comments, (D) if the registration statement described in Sections 6.1(i) or 6.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days after such written request, or is not declared effective within 120 days after such written request, or (E) any registration statement described in Sections 6.1(i), 6.1(ii) or 6.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded within fifteen (15) business days by an effective replacement or amended registration statement) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) or more than 20 consecutive days (each such event referred to in clauses A through E of this Section 6.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration Event"), then the Company shall deliver to the Holder, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days (or part thereof) thereafter, of the Principal Amount of the Note acquired by such the holder hereunder. The Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash or an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of such Liquidated Damages if paid in additional shares of registered unlegended free-trading shares of Common Stock. Such Common Stock shall be valued at a per share value equal to the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the first day of each forty-five (45) day or shorter period for which Liquidated Damages are payable. The Liquidated Damages must be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each forty-five (45) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable. In the event a Registration Statement is filed by the Filing Date but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the SEC, then such Registration Statement will be deemed to have not been filed. All oral or written and accounting comments received from the SEC relating to the Registration Statement must be responded to within ten (10) business days. Failure to timely respond to SEC comments is a Non-Registration Event for which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to the Holder under this Section 6.4 for any events or delays occurring as a consequence of the acts or omissions of the Holder contrary to the obligations undertaken by Holder in this Note. Liquidated Damages will not accrue nor be payable pursuant to this Section 6.4 nor will a Non-Registration Event be deemed to have occurred for times during which Registrable Securities are transferable by the holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act.

6.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 6, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of insurance and fee of one counsel for Seller are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling Expenses." The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration statement under Section 6. Selling Expenses in connection with each registration statement under Section 6 shall be borne by the Seller.
 
6.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
 
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 6, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, and, as applicable, each officer of the Seller, each director of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 6, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of Section 6.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by the Seller, or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
 
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 6, Seller will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 6, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.
 
7

 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 6.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 6.6(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
 
8

 
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) Seller, or any controlling person of Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section 6.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 6(f) of the 1933 Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
6.7. Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
 
(a) The Common Stock shall not contain any legend, provided (i) a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Common Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). A holder of Common Stock may, by notice to the Company, require the Company to reissue any Common Stock previously issued, so that new Common Stock do not contain any legends. Within three (3) business days (such third (3rd) business day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received such holder’s request to remove legends, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Holder) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends, reissuable pursuant to any effective and current Registration Statement described in Section 6 of this Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (the “Unlegended Shares”); and the Company shall cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted certificate, if any, to the Holder at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. Transfer fees shall be the responsibility of the Seller.
 
(b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Holder, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Holder’s prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
 
9

 
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 6 hereof later than two business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Holder. As compensation to a Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $20 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any 365 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 6.7 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then Holder assignee holding Registrable Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Common Stock subject to such default at a price per share equal to 120% of the Conversion Price of such Common Stock or 120% of the fair market value of such Common Stock, whichever is higher (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The amount of the liquidated damages described above that have accrued or paid for the twenty day period prior to the receipt by the Holder of the Unlegended Redemption Amount shall be credited against the Unlegended Redemption Amount. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
 
(d) In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a Holder Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement, and after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the shares of Common Stock which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
 
(e) In the event a Holder shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 6.7 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 6.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that Holder or any one associated or affiliated with Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of Holder in the amount of 120% of the Conversion Price of such Common Stock or 120% of the fair market value of such Common Stock, whichever is higher, which are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment in Holder’s favor.

7. Anti-Dilution Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of common stock, declare a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction or reclassify its common stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such transaction shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the effect of such transaction. Any such adjustment shall be effective at the close of business on the date such transaction shall become effective.

(b) In case of a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in a reclassification of outstanding shares of common stock of the class issuable upon the conversion of this Note and pursuant to which the security holders of the Corporation are not entitled to receive securities of another issuer), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Corporation or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute an instrument providing that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance by the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance. Such interest shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. The foregoing provisions of this Note shall similarly apply to successive reclassification of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.

8. Failure to Act and Waiver. No failure or delay by the Holder hereof to insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Note or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a Event of Default hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach, or preclude the Holder hereof from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Note, the Holder hereof shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Note, or to declare a Event of Default for failure to effect such payment of any such other amount.

The failure of the Holder of this Note to give notice of any failure or breach of the Corporation under this Note shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy in respect of such continuing failure or breach or any subsequent failure or breach.
