The Face Amount, together with accrued interest thereupon, shall become due and payable and shall be repaid in cash in a single installment at the Maturity Date; provided, that this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time-to-time upon three (3) prior business days’ written notice, without penalty.

Section 2. Repayment. Repayment of the Note may occur as follows: (a) at the Maturity Date or (b) at such time as the Borrower and the Lender may agree to effect repayment. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, such repayment shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this Note in full and this Note shall be of no further force and effect. This Note is not a convertible instrument and has no contractual rights to convert into equity or any other securities of the Borrower.

Section 3. Transferability. This Note and any of the rights granted hereunder are freely transferable or assignable by the Lender, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion; provided, Lender shall have provided prior written notice to the Borrower.

Section 4. Event of Default.

(a) In the event that any one of the following events shall occur (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), it shall be deemed an Event of Default:

(iii) There shall be a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Note or any transaction document executed contemporaneously herewith, including without limitation, the Borrower’s express representation that the purpose of this Note is to fund the Borrower’s direct costs to its auditor to enable such auditor to complete its review of the Company’s quarterly securities filings, payment to financial printers for Edgar filings, payment to the Company’s transfer agent, and accounting; or

(iv) Borrower, shall commence, or there shall be commenced against Borrower any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect or any successor thereto, or Borrower commences any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to Borrower or there is commenced against Borrower any such bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding which remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or Borrower is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or Borrower suffers any appointment of any custodian, private or court appointed receiver or the like for it or any substantial part of its property which continues undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or Borrower shall fail to pay or shall state that it is unable to pay or shall be liable to pay, its debts as they become due or by any act or failure to act expressly indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or any corporate or other action is taken by the Borrower for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall give the Borrower notice of such occurrence, at which time the Borrower shall have five (5) business days from receipt of such notice to pay the outstanding amount of the Note in full. In the event that full payment is not made upon the expiry of the thirty (30) day period, a default penalty equal to 5.0% in excess of the Interest Rate hereunder of the Face Amount per month during the period of Default (the “Default Penalty”) shall apply to the entire amount of the Note outstanding, including any accrued but unpaid interest. The Lender may then, at its sole discretion, declare the entire then-outstanding Face Amount of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest due hereunder immediately due and payable (a “Default Declaration”), in which event the Lender may, at its sole discretion, take any action it deems necessary to recover amounts due under this Note.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Face Amount of the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest due hereunder, all of Lender’s costs, fees (including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), and expenses relating to collection and enforcement Note, including all costs and expenses incurred by it in enforcing its rights under the Note and any transaction documents entered into contemporaneously herewith.

(d) The failure of the Lender to exercise any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver of the same or of any other right in that or any subsequent instance with respect to the Lender or any subsequent holder.
