CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$________ | August 17, 2009 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Live Current Media Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of ________ ("Holder") the principal amount of ____________ ($______) plus interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time at the rate of 10% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less and subject to adjustment as provided herein. Interest shall accrue effective as of May 22, 2009. All accrued but unpaid principal and interest shall be due and payable on May 22, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).
1. Terms of Payment.
1.1. Interest and Principal Payments. Interest on the unpaid principal balance shall be paid quarterly in arrears commencing on August 22, 2009. All unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. This Note may be prepaid by the Maker in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon 30 days prior written notice to Holder.
1.2. Manner of Payment. All payments made hereunder shall be paid to Holder at the address indicated on the attached Schedule A, or at such place as may be designated in writing by Holder, in immediately available United States funds without any deduction whatsoever including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.
2. Conversion of Note. The Note and any accrued interest thereon is convertible, at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Maker (the “Common Stock”), at the rate of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Rate”). (The Conversion Rate is the per share price equal to the 30-day average of the closing price of Common Stock on the Over-The Counter Bulletin Board for the 30-day period prior to the issuance date of this Note.) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided (by stock split or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be proportionately increased. If any (i) dividend, (ii) reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, (ii) consolidation or merger of Maker with or into another corporation, (iii) sale of all or substantially all of Maker’s operating assets to another person or entity, or (iv) sale of Maker substantially as a going concern followed by a liquidation of Maker (any such occurrence shall be an "Event"), is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities and/or assets as a result of their Common Stock ownership, then upon conversion of this Note Holder will have the right to receive the shares of stock, securities or assets which it would have received if such rights had been converted as of the record date for such Event and the Common Stock held. Maker will not effect any Event unless it provides 15 days prior notice to Holder.
