 “Principal Amount” shall refer to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of this Note (including the prorated amount of the original issue discount), (ii) all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, and (iii) any default payments, penalties and/or liquidated damages owing under the Agreements but not previously paid or added to the Principal Amount.

“Trading Day” shall mean a day on which there is trading on the Principal Market.

“Underlying Shares” means the shares of common stock into which the Note is convertible (including interest or principal payments in common stock as set forth herein) in accordance with the terms hereof.

The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Note:

Section 1

Conversion.

(a)

Conversion Right.  Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, at any time to convert the outstanding Principal Amount and Interest under this Note in whole or in part by submitting to the Company a conversion in the form of Exhibit A.

(b)

The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder and any Payment Date shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.

(i)

Stock Certificates or DWAC.  The Company will deliver to the Holder, or Holder’s authorized designee, no later than two 2 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which certificate(s) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions when allowable by law) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) program (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

(ii)

Charges, Expenses.  Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, postage/mailing charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock.

If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through DTC) pursuant to this Section (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends) prior to the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder as liquidated damages, in cash, an amount equal to Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) per day, until such certificate or certificates are delivered. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from a failure to deliver the Common stock and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. Such liquidated damages will be added to the principal value of the Note.

(c)

Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note (including repayments in stock), free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than one times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1 but without regard to any ownership limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note in Common Stock.  These shares shall be reserved in proportion with the Consideration actually received by the Company and the total reserve will be increased with future payments of consideration by Holder.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note.

(d)

Conversion Limitation.  The holder will not submit a conversion to the Company that would result in the Holder owning more than 9.99% of the total outstanding shares of the Company.

Section 2

Defaults and Remedies.

(a)

Events of Default.

 An “Event of Default” is:  (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than 5 business days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares upon and in accordance with terms hereof, which default continues for 3 Business Days after the Company has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd day following the Conversion Date; (iii) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of the Purchase Agreement; (iv) a material breach by the Company of its representations or warranties in the Exchange Agreement; (v) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event; (vi) any failure of the Company to satisfy its  “filing” obligations under the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTC Markets.com and their affiliates; (vii) any failure of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to the corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 day of request by Holder; (viii) failure to have sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for any conversion; (ix) failure of Company’s stock to maintain a bid price in its trading market which occurs for at least 3 consecutive Trading Days; (x) any delisting for any reason; (xi) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees or to maintain a Transfer Agent of record; (xii) any trading suspension imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xiii) any default after any cure period under, or acceleration prior to maturity of, any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company in excess of $100,000 or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company in excess of $100,000, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter;  excluding any indebtedness to the IRS or (xiv) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status with DTC.

Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Note, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the event of such acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be increased to 150% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note held by the Holder plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and liquidated damages, if any. Additionally, this Note shall bear interest on any unpaid principal from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default at a rate of 20%. Finally, the Note will accrue liquidated damages of $1,000 per day from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from an Event of Default and any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative and added to the principal value of the Note.
