CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
U.S. $_________
| Date of Issuance: | _________, 2011 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Todays Alternative Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to ____________, or its successors and assigns (the “Payee”), at his address at _______________________, or to such other address as Payee shall provide in writing to the Maker for such purpose, a principal sum of _______________ Dollars and ______ Cents (U.S. $__________). The Payee has paid the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note to the Maker. The entire principal amount hereunder shall be due and payable in full on ________, 20__ (the “Maturity Date”), or on such earlier date as such principal amount may earlier become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof.
1. Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) at the rate of 10% per annum from the date hereof until such unpaid principal amount is paid in full or earlier converted into shares (the “Shares”) of the Maker’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest hereunder shall be paid quarterly or on such earlier date as the principal amount under this Note becomes due and payable or is converted in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed.
2. Conversion of Principal and Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Payee, at its sole option, may deliver to the Maker a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”) and an updated Loan Schedule, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof (the date of the delivery of a Conversion Notice, a “Conversion Date”), to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the dollar amount of such outstanding principal amount of this Note plus the accrued and unpaid interest
thereon being convened by the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 16). Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth in the Conversion Notice and the Loan Schedule.
3. Certain Conversion Limitations. The Maker shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Payee shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Payee (together with the Payee’s affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Payee or any of the Payee’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Payee and its affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Payee or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Maker subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Payee or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c)(ii)
applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Payee together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Payee, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Payee’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Payee together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Payee will be deemed to represent to the Maker each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Maker shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above
shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Payee may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Maker’s most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be; (B) a more recent public announcement by the Maker; or (C) a more recent notice by the Maker or the Maker’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Payee, the Maker shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Payee the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Maker, including this Note, by the Payee or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Payee. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c)(ii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such
limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.
4. Deliveries.
(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days (as defined in Section 16) after any Conversion Date, the Maker will deliver to the Payee either (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and any interest accrued thereunder being converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 hereof), and (ii) an endorsement by the Maker of the Loan Schedule acknowledging the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted (an “Endorsement”). The Maker’s delivery to the Payee of stocks certificates in accordance clause (i) above shall be Maker’s conclusive
endorsement of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted as set forth in the Loan Schedule.

5. Mandatory Prepayment Upon Triggering Events. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below), the Payee shall have the right (in addition to all other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable law), exercisable at the sole option of the Payee, to require the Maker to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such prepayment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) Trading Days of the date on which the notice for the payment therefore is provided by the Payee.
A “Triggering Event” means any one or more of the following events (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):
(i) any default in the payment of the principal of interest on or other payments owing in respect of this Note, free of any claim of subordination, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date, the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise) and such non-payment continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice of non-payment is given by Payee to Maker;
(ii) the Maker shall fail for any reason to deliver certificates or an Endorsement to the Payee prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after a Conversion Date pursuant to any in accordance with Section 4;
(iii) the Maker or any of its subsidiaries shall commence or there shall be commenced against the Maker or any such subsidiary a case under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect or any successor thereto, or the Maker 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 the Maker or any subsidiary thereof or there is commenced against the Maker or subsidiary thereof any such bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding which remains undismissed for a period of 60 days; or the Maker or any subsidiary thereof is adjudicated insolvent or
bankrupt; or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or the Maker or any subsidiary thereof suffers any appointment of any custodian or the like for it or any substantial part of its property which continues undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Maker or any subsidiary thereof shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or any corporate or other action is taken by the Maker or any subsidiary thereof for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

6. Prepayment. In the event the Maker deems the Payee is converting this Note in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Maker, the Maker shall have the right, exercisable on not less than ten (10) Trading Days prior written notice to the Payee to prepay the Note in accordance with this Section 6. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment”) shall be delivered to the Payee at its registered address appearing on the books and records of the Maker and shall state (1) that the Maker is exercising its right to prepay the Note issued on the Date of Issuance and (2) the date of prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment
Notice”). On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Maker shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Payee as specified by the Payee in writing to the Maker at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Maker exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Maker shall make payment to the Payee of an amount in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to the entire outstanding principal and all accrued interest as of the Optional Prepayment Date.
7. No Waiver of Payee’s Rights, etc. All payments of principal and interest shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No delay or failure on the part of the Payee in exercising any of its options, powers, or rights, nor any partial or single exercise of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver thereof or of any other option, power or right, and no waiver on the part of the Payee of any of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver of any other option, power or right. The Maker hereby waives presentment of payment, protest, and notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or
endorsement of this Note. Acceptance by the Payee of less than the full amount due and payable hereunder shall in no way limit the right of the Payee to require full payment of all sums due and payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

10. Collection Expenses. If this obligation is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after default, and provided the Payee prevails on the merits in respect to its claim of default, the Maker shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Payee from and against), all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Payee in pursuing collection of this Note.
