Effective Date: February 3, 2012
|
1.
|
Loan Amount. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”, “Promissory Note” or “Agreement”) evidences the loan of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), from the Holder to the Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan” or the “Principal”).
|
|
2.
|
Payment Terms. The Company promises to pay to Holder the balance of Principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on February 3, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), unless this Note is earlier prepaid as herein provided or earlier converted into Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder to Principal.
|
|
3.
|
Interest. Interest on the outstanding portion of Principal of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed. Such interest shall accrue and be paid upon the Maturity Date of the Loan.
|
a.
|
Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the State of Nevada or the applicable laws of the United States of America, whichever shall be higher (the “Maximum Rate”).
|
b.
|
In the event the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the Maximum Rate, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question (and without further agreement or notice by, among or to the Holder the undersigned) shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance, with the same force and effect as though the undersigned had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance and the Holder had agreed to accept such sums as a premium-free prepayment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the undersigned, to waive, reduce or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance. The undersigned does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge, accept or collect any interest under this Note greater than the Maximum Rate.
|
c.
|
If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banks are not open for business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day.
|
4.
|
Option to Convert this Note.
|
a.
|
At any time prior to the Maturity Date or prior to payment in full by the Company, Holder shall have the option to convert the unpaid principal balance of this Promissory Note, together with all accrued interest, into shares of common stock (the “Shares”, “Securities” and the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Conversion Option”) at the conversion price of $0.000357 per common share (the “Conversion Price” and each a “Conversion”);
|
|
b.
|
In order to exercise this Conversion Option, the Holder shall surrender this Promissory Note to the Company, accompanied by written notice of its intentions to exercise this Conversion Option, which notice shall set forth the principal amount of this Promissory Note to be converted and shall be in the form of Exhibit A, attached hereto (“Notice of Conversion”). Within ten (10) business days of the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Conversion and this Note, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder, written confirmation that the Shares have been issued in the name of the Holder;
|
|
c.
|
In the event of the exercise of the Conversion Option, Holder shall cooperate with the Company to promptly take any and all additional actions required to make Holder a stockholder of the Company including, without limitation, in connection with the issuance of the Shares, such representations as to financial condition, investment intent and sophisticated investor status as are reasonably required by counsel for the Company. Holder shall be deemed to have automatically re-certified the Representations (defined below) at such time or times as Holder exercises its Conversion Option as provided herein, and the Company shall be able to rely on such re-certification for all purposes;
|
|
d.
|
The Company shall at all times take any and all additional actions as are necessary to maintain the required authority to issue the Shares to the Holder, in the event the Holder exercises its rights under the Conversion Option;
|
|
e.
|
Payment to Company prior to Holder’s delivery of a Notice of Conversion shall terminate Holder’s option to convert;
|
f.
|
Conversion calculations pursuant to this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, and no fractional shares shall be issuable by the Company upon conversion of this Note. Conversion of this Note shall be deemed payment in full of this Note and this Note shall thereupon be cancelled;
|
|
g.
|
If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the effective date of the issuance of this Note (the “Original Issuance Date”) effects a subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased;
|
h.
|
All Shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of this Note will, upon issuance by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Note, be validly issued, free from all taxes and liens with respect to the issuance thereof (other than those created by the holders), free from all pre-emptive or similar rights and be fully paid and non assessable; and
|
|
i.
|
On the date of any Conversion, all rights of any Holder with respect to the amount of this Note converted, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such Holder to receive certificates (if applicable) for the number of Shares of Common Stock which this Note has been Converted.
|
5.
|
Redemption. This Note may be redeemed by the Company by payment of the entire Principal and interest outstanding under this Note in cash to Holder.
|
a.
|
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
|
|
b.
|
Any partial prepayment shall be applied first to any accrued interest and then to any principal Loan amount outstanding.
|
6.
|
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Holder as follows:
|
a.
|
The execution and delivery by the Company of this Note (i) are within the Company’s corporate power and authority, and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. Further, the undersigned is a duly authorized representative of the Company and has been authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company to exercise any and all documents necessary to effectuate the transaction contemplated hereby.
|
b.
|
This Note is a legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that (i) such enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or in injunctive or other equitable relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.
|
|
c.
|
The Company represents to Holder that, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, the Company acknowledges that it is a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and resales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be made until all of the following criteria set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) have been met: (1) the Company has ceased to be a shell company, (2) the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (3) the Company has filed all of its required periodic reports (other than 8-k’s) for the prior one year period, and (4) a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 like information” was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reflecting the Company’s status as a non-shell company.
Because none of the Company’s securities can be resold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after the Company the ceases to be a “shell company” and has complied with Rule 144(i)(2), any Shares that Holder purchases hereunder will have no liquidity until and unless such Securities are registered with the Commission, an exemption for sales can be relied upon other than Rule 144 and/or until a year after the Company has complied with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) as described above. As a result, Holder may never be able to sell the Shares. The Company has advised Holder that it may be substantially more difficult or impossible for the Company to fund its operations and pay its consultants with Company’s securities instead of cash. Furthermore, the Company represents that it will be substantially more difficult for Company to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless Company agrees to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause Company to expend additional resources in the future. The Company’s status as a “shell company” is highly likely to prevent the Company from raising any additional funds, engaging consultants, using the Company’s securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of the Company’s securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, as the Company may not ever comply with Rule 144(i)(2), and the Holder may be forced to hold such Securities indefinitely.
|
7.
|
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Holder. Holder represents and warrants to the Company, and agrees, as follows (collectively the “Representations”):
|
a.

|
e.
|
The Holder has read and reviewed, and been provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding, the Company’s Registration Statement and periodic and current report filings (Form 10-Qs, Form 10-Ks and Form 8-Ks) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR webpage at www.sec.gov, including the risk factors, results of operations, description of business operations and audited and unaudited financial statements included therein.

Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Holder as follows:
|
a.
|
The execution and delivery by the Company of this Note (i) are within the Company’s corporate power and authority, and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. Further, the undersigned is a duly authorized representative of the Company and has been authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company to exercise any and all documents necessary to effectuate the transaction contemplated hereby.
|
b.
|
This Note is a legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that (i) such enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or in injunctive or other equitable relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.
|
|
c.
|
The Company represents to Holder that, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, the Company acknowledges that it is a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and resales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be made until all of the following criteria set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) have been met: (1) the Company has ceased to be a shell company, (2) the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (3) the Company has filed all of its required periodic reports (other than 8-k’s) for the prior one year period, and (4) a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 like information” was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reflecting the Company’s status as a non-shell company.
Because none of the Company’s securities can be resold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after the Company the ceases to be a “shell company” and has complied with Rule 144(i)(2), any Shares that Holder purchases hereunder will have no liquidity until and unless such Securities are registered with the Commission, an exemption for sales can be relied upon other than Rule 144 and/or until a year after the Company has complied with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) as described above. As a result, Holder may never be able to sell the Shares. The Company has advised Holder that it may be substantially more difficult or impossible for the Company to fund its operations and pay its consultants with Company’s securities instead of cash. Furthermore, the Company represents that it will be substantially more difficult for Company to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless Company agrees to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause Company to expend additional resources in the future. The Company’s status as a “shell company” is highly likely to prevent the Company from raising any additional funds, engaging consultants, using the Company’s securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of the Company’s securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, as the Company may not ever comply with Rule 144(i)(2), and the Holder may be forced to hold such Securities indefinitely.

Name:
|
$10,000
|
Effective Date: March 6, 2012
|
1.
|
Loan Amount. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”, “Promissory Note” or “Agreement”) evidences the loan of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), from the Holder to the Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan” or the “Principal”).
|
|
2.
|
Payment Terms. The Company promises to pay to Holder the balance of Principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on March 6, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), unless this Note is earlier prepaid as herein provided or earlier converted into Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder to Principal.
|
|
3.
|
Interest. Interest on the outstanding portion of Principal of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed. Such interest shall accrue and be paid upon the Maturity Date of the Loan.
|
a.
|
Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the State of Nevada or the applicable laws of the United States of America, whichever shall be higher (the “Maximum Rate”).
|
b.
|
In the event the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the Maximum Rate, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question (and without further agreement or notice by, among or to the Holder the undersigned) shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance, with the same force and effect as though the undersigned had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance and the Holder had agreed to accept such sums as a premium-free prepayment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the undersigned, to waive, reduce or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance. The undersigned does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge, accept or collect any interest under this Note greater than the Maximum Rate.
|
c.
|
If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banks are not open for business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day.
|
4.
|
Option to Convert this Note.
|
a.
|
At any time prior to the Maturity Date or prior to payment in full by the Company, Holder shall have the option to convert the unpaid principal balance of this Promissory Note, together with all accrued interest, into shares of common stock (the “Shares”, “Securities” and the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Conversion Option”) at the conversion price of $0.000357 per common share (the “Conversion Price” and each a “Conversion”);
|
|
b.
|
In order to exercise this Conversion Option, the Holder shall surrender this Promissory Note to the Company, accompanied by written notice of its intentions to exercise this Conversion Option, which notice shall set forth the principal amount of this Promissory Note to be converted and shall be in the form of Exhibit A, attached hereto (“Notice of Conversion”). Within ten (10) business days of the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Conversion and this Note, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder, written confirmation that the Shares have been issued in the name of the Holder;
|
|
c.
|
In the event of the exercise of the Conversion Option, Holder shall cooperate with the Company to promptly take any and all additional actions required to make Holder a stockholder of the Company including, without limitation, in connection with the issuance of the Shares, such representations as to financial condition, investment intent and sophisticated investor status as are reasonably required by counsel for the Company. Holder shall be deemed to have automatically re-certified the Representations (defined below) at such time or times as Holder exercises its Conversion Option as provided herein, and the Company shall be able to rely on such re-certification for all purposes;
|
|
d.
|
The Company shall at all times take any and all additional actions as are necessary to maintain the required authority to issue the Shares to the Holder, in the event the Holder exercises its rights under the Conversion Option;
|
|
e.
|
Payment to Company prior to Holder’s delivery of a Notice of Conversion shall terminate Holder’s option to convert;
|
f.
|
Conversion calculations pursuant to this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, and no fractional shares shall be issuable by the Company upon conversion of this Note. Conversion of this Note shall be deemed payment in full of this Note and this Note shall thereupon be cancelled;
|
|
g.
|
If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the effective date of the issuance of this Note (the “Original Issuance Date”) effects a subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased;
|
h.
|
All Shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of this Note will, upon issuance by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Note, be validly issued, free from all taxes and liens with respect to the issuance thereof (other than those created by the holders), free from all pre-emptive or similar rights and be fully paid and non assessable; and
|
|
i.
|
On the date of any Conversion, all rights of any Holder with respect to the amount of this Note converted, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such Holder to receive certificates (if applicable) for the number of Shares of Common Stock which this Note has been Converted.
|
5.
|
Redemption. This Note may be redeemed by the Company by payment of the entire Principal and interest outstanding under this Note in cash to Holder.
|
a.
|
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
|
|
b.
|
Any partial prepayment shall be applied first to any accrued interest and then to any principal Loan amount outstanding.
|
6.
|
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Holder as follows:
|
a.
|
The execution and delivery by the Company of this Note (i) are within the Company’s corporate power and authority, and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. Further, the undersigned is a duly authorized representative of the Company and has been authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company to exercise any and all documents necessary to effectuate the transaction contemplated hereby.
|
b.
|
This Note is a legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that (i) such enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or in injunctive or other equitable relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.
|
|
c.
|
The Company represents to Holder that, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, the Company acknowledges that it is a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and resales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be made until all of the following criteria set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) have been met: (1) the Company has ceased to be a shell company, (2) the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (3) the Company has filed all of its required periodic reports (other than 8-k’s) for the prior one year period, and (4) a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 like information” was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reflecting the Company’s status as a non-shell company.
Because none of the Company’s securities can be resold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after the Company the ceases to be a “shell company” and has complied with Rule 144(i)(2), any Shares that Holder purchases hereunder will have no liquidity until and unless such Securities are registered with the Commission, an exemption for sales can be relied upon other than Rule 144 and/or until a year after the Company has complied with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) as described above. As a result, Holder may never be able to sell the Shares. The Company has advised Holder that it may be substantially more difficult or impossible for the Company to fund its operations and pay its consultants with Company’s securities instead of cash. Furthermore, the Company represents that it will be substantially more difficult for Company to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless Company agrees to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause Company to expend additional resources in the future. The Company’s status as a “shell company” is highly likely to prevent the Company from raising any additional funds, engaging consultants, using the Company’s securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of the Company’s securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, as the Company may not ever comply with Rule 144(i)(2), and the Holder may be forced to hold such Securities indefinitely.
|
7.
|
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Holder. Holder represents and warrants to the Company, and agrees, as follows (collectively the “Representations”):
|
a.
|
This Note and any Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note are being acquired by Holder for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
|
b.
|
Holder is a non “U.S. person” as such term is defined under Regulation S as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of the Securities Act; resides outside of the United States; was not solicited for an investment in the Company, by the Company or any person or entity acting on its behalf while it, was located within the United States; has not entered into this Agreement inside the United States; certifies under penalty of perjury that it is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States and the following definitions and acknowledgements are applicable to the current purchase, and the issuance of the Common Stock and the transactions evidenced by this Agreement are exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S of the Act; Holder further represents and warrants that Holder is familiar with Regulation S; Holder is receiving the Note for its own account and not on behalf of any U.S. person, and the sale has not been pre-arranged with a purchaser in the United States; and that "United States" means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, any State of the United States, and the District of Columbia.
|
|
c.
|
Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of Holder’s investment in the Company; Holder believes that Holder has received or had access to all information Holder considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to this Note; and Holder is able financially to bear the risk of losing Holder’s full investment in this Note.
|
|
d.
|
Holder understands that this Note and any Shares converted pursuant hereto have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any of the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, are “restricted securities,” and cannot be resold or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act, and registered or qualified under any other applicable securities laws, or an exemption from such registration and qualification is available. Prior to any proposed transfer of this Note or any Shares, Holder shall, among other things, give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer, identifying the transferee and describing the manner of the proposed transfer and, if requested by the Company, accompanied by (i) investment representations by the transferee similar to those made by Holder in this Section 7 and (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and without registration or qualification under applicable state or other securities laws. Each certificate issued to evidence any Shares shall bear a legend as follows:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities act. The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless (i) they shall have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities act, or (ii) the corporation shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to counsel for the corporation, that registration is not required under any such acts."
|
e.
|
The Holder has read and reviewed, and been provided an opportunity to ask questions regarding, the Company’s Registration Statement and periodic and current report filings (Form 10-Qs, Form 10-Ks and Form 8-Ks) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR webpage at www.sec.gov, including the risk factors, results of operations, description of business operations and audited and unaudited financial statements included therein.

|

|
At any time prior to the Maturity Date or prior to payment in full by the Company, Holder shall have the option to convert the unpaid principal balance of this Promissory Note, together with all accrued interest, into shares of common stock (the “Shares”, “Securities” and the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Conversion Option”) at the conversion price of $0.000357 per common share (the “Conversion Price” and each a “Conversion”);
|
|
b.
|
In order to exercise this Conversion Option, the Holder shall surrender this Promissory Note to the Company, accompanied by written notice of its intentions to exercise this Conversion Option, which notice shall set forth the principal amount of this Promissory Note to be converted and shall be in the form of Exhibit A, attached hereto (“Notice of Conversion”).

Holder shall be deemed to have automatically re-certified the Representations (defined below) at such time or times as Holder exercises its Conversion Option as provided herein, and the Company shall be able to rely on such re-certification for all purposes;
|
|
d.
|
The Company shall at all times take any and all additional actions as are necessary to maintain the required authority to issue the Shares to the Holder, in the event the Holder exercises its rights under the Conversion Option;
|
|
e.
|
Payment to Company prior to Holder’s delivery of a Notice of Conversion shall terminate Holder’s option to convert;
|
f.
|
Conversion calculations pursuant to this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, and no fractional shares shall be issuable by the Company upon conversion of this Note. Conversion of this Note shall be deemed payment in full of this Note and this Note shall thereupon be cancelled;
|
|

|
If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the effective date of the issuance of this Note (the “Original Issuance Date”) effects a subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased;

On the date of any Conversion, all rights of any Holder with respect to the amount of this Note converted, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such Holder to receive certificates (if applicable) for the number of Shares of Common Stock which this Note has been Converted.
|
|
j.

The applicable portion of this Note shall not be convertible during any time that, and only to the extent that, the number of Shares to be issued to Holder upon such Conversion, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder otherwise beneficially owns (outside of this Note, and not including any other securities of the Company held by Holder having a provision substantially similar to this paragraph) at the time of such Conversion, would exceed 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Note held by the Holder, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(j) may be waived by Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company, to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Conversion of the Note held by the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(j) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

|
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Holder as follows:
|
a.
|
The execution and delivery by the Company of this Note (i) are within the Company’s corporate power and authority, and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. Further, the undersigned is a duly authorized representative of the Company and has been authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company to exercise any and all documents necessary to effectuate the transaction contemplated hereby.
|
b.
|
This Note is a legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that (i) such enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or in injunctive or other equitable relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.
|
c.
|
The Company represents to Holder that, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, the Company acknowledges that it is a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and resales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be made until all of the following criteria set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) have been met: (1) the Company has ceased to be a shell company, (2) the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (3) the Company has filed all of its required periodic reports (other than 8-k’s) for the prior one year period, and (4) a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 like information” was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reflecting the Company’s status as a non-shell company.
Because none of the Company’s securities can be resold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after the Company the ceases to be a “shell company” and has complied with Rule 144(i)(2), any Shares that Holder purchases hereunder will have no liquidity until and unless such Securities are registered with the Commission, an exemption for sales can be relied upon other than Rule 144 and/or until a year after the Company has complied with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) as described above. As a result, Holder may never be able to sell the Shares. The Company has advised Holder that it may be substantially more difficult or impossible for the Company to fund its operations and pay its consultants with Company’s securities instead of cash. Furthermore, the Company represents that it will be substantially more difficult for Company to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless Company agrees to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause Company to expend additional resources in the future. The Company’s status as a “shell company” is highly likely to prevent the Company from raising any additional funds, engaging consultants, using the Company’s securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of the Company’s securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, as the Company may not ever comply with Rule 144(i)(2), and the Holder may be forced to hold such Securities indefinitely.

7.
|
