SECTION 7.  Conversion

Noteholder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note into shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), as set forth below.

(a)           Noteholder shall have the right at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest thereon, at the election of Noteholder, by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion (as defined herein) (the date of giving of the Notice of Conversion being a “Conversion Date”), into fully paid and nonassessable Shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the Conversion Price (as defined herein), determined as provided herein.  Upon delivery to Company of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), the Company shall issue and deliver to Noteholder within four (4) business days after the Conversion Date (such fourth day being the “Conversion Delivery Date”) that number of Shares of Common Stock for the portion of this Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of Noteholder and upon surrender of the Note to the Company for cancellation, be issued by the Company to Noteholder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.  If a new Note is not requested by Noteholder, Noteholder will not be required to surrender the Note to Company until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. At the election of Noteholder, the Company will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on this Note, if any, through the Conversion Date directly to Noteholder on the Conversion Date.  The number of Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon to be converted, by the Conversion Price.

(b)           Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the conversion price (“Conversion Price”) per share shall be equal to twenty cents ($0.20).

(c)           The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the Fundamental Transactions described below while this conversion right remains.  A Fundamental Transaction is defined as the occurrence of any of the following (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”):  (a) Company effects any merger or consolidation of Company with or into another entity where the other entity acquires more than 50% in one or a series of related transactions; (b) Company effects any sale or transfer of 40% in the aggregate, in one or a series of related transactions, of the properties and assets of Company to another Person(s) in any rolling twelve (12) month period; (c) any purchase, exchange or tender offer (whether by Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of an aggregate of 50% or more of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock of Company are permitted to tender or exchange their Shares for other securities (whether of Company or another Person), cash or property; (d) Company consummates a stock purchase or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more Persons whereby such other Persons acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock (not including any Shares of Common Stock held by such other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with, the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase or other business combination); (e) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, of 50% or more of the aggregate Common Stock of Company; or (f) Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock of Company is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities (whether of Company or another Person), cash or property.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
(d)           If Company at any time shall change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

(e)           If the Shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a smaller or greater, respectively, number of Shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in Shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in the case of subdivision of Shares or payment of dividends in Shares, or proportionately increased in the case of combination of Shares, as applicable, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(f)           Company represents and warrants to Noteholder that upon issuance, such Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Company agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute the granting of full authority to Company’s officers, agents and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates, to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

(g)           Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.

(h)           Company may prepay and redeem this Note without penalty at any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice is delivered to Noteholder. Upon such notice being made to Noteholder, Noteholder agrees that it shall not elect to convert the Note into Common Stock, until such notice has expired.

(i)            Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company offers to assign, transfer, place and/or sell the Note, and all outstanding obligations owed hereunder, to a qualified third party, and the Noteholder refuses such assignment, transfer, placement and/or sale, the Company may, upon ten (10) days written notice to Noteholder, convert the unpaid principal portion of the Note and any accrued interest thereon into Shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions herein contained.

If an Event of Default described in (e) or (f) above shall occur, the principal of and accrued interest on the Loan shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Noteholder.  Immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in (e) or (f) above, or upon failure to pay this Note on demand, the Noteholder, without any notice to the Company, which notice is expressly waived by the Company, may proceed to protect, enforce, exercise and pursue any and all rights and remedies available to the Noteholder under this Note, or at law or in equity.

If any Event of Default in (a) – (d) above shall occur for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, and be continuing, the Noteholder may by notice to the Company declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be due and payable, whereupon the full unpaid amount of the Loan which shall be so declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand or presentment.
