Any expenses over US$1,000 shall require the Lender’s approval. The Borrower shall pay all bank and transfer charges in connection with such payment and such charges shall be deemed to have been drawdown and shall form part of the dollar amount of the Loan.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this letter, for a period of twelve months which starts on the date of the first drawdown, in lieu of repayment, the Lender has the right but not the obligation to roll the entire outstanding principal amount of all the Drawings into Common Stock at a conversion rate of $0.01/share.

5. Payment: All payments to be made by the Borrower to the Lender in respect of the Drawings shall be made by the Borrower in US dollars to the Lender’s designated bank account free and clear of and without deduction of or on account of any present or future taxes, set-off, counterclaims or other deductions or withholdings.
