o Yes

o No

If the answer to the above question is “Yes,” please contact David Lubin, Esq. at 516-887-8200 for additional information that will be required.

3. Are shareholders, partners or other holders of equity or beneficial interest in the Investor able to decide individually whether to participate, or the extent of their participation, in the Investor’s investment in the Company (i.e., can shareholders, partners or other holders of equity or beneficial interest in the Investor determine whether their capital will form part of the capital invested by the Investor in the Company)?

Please indicate whether or not the Subscriber is, or is acting on behalf of, (i) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not such plan is subject to ERISA, or (ii) an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such employee benefit plan pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101. For example, a plan which is maintained by a foreign corporation, governmental entity or church, a Keogh plan covering no common-law employees and an individual retirement account are employee benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA but generally are not subject to ERISA (collectively, “Non-ERISA Plans”). In general, a foreign or US entity which is not an operating company and which is not publicly traded or registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and in which 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest is held by employee pension or welfare plans (including an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such plan), would be deemed to hold the assets of one or more employee benefit plans pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101. However, if only Non-ERISA Plans were invested in such an entity, the entity generally would not be subject to ERISA. For purposes of determining whether this 25% threshold has been met or exceeded, the value of any equity interest held by a person (other than such a plan or entity) who has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the entity, or any person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, or any affiliate of such a person, is disregarded.

o Yes

o No

–15-

Principal Amount: $ __________

Issue Date: October __, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to ______________________ (the “Holder”) the principal sum of _________ Thousand Dollars ($_______.00), with interest accruing thereon, on the date which is one (1) year from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid or converted as provided herein.

This Note (this “Note”) is one of a series of Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Promissory Notes”) in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Said offering is pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Borrower and the holders of the Promissory Notes (the “Subscription Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription Agreement. The Promissory Notes rank equally and ratably without priority over one another. No conversion or payment shall be made hereunder unless such conversion or payment, as the case may be, is made with respect to the other Promissory Notes in an amount which bears the same ratio to the then unpaid principal amount of this Note to the other Promissory Notes.

ARTICLE I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1 Interest. Interest payable on this Note shall accrue at the annual rate of three percent (3%) per annum and shall be payable on the Maturity Date (as defined below), accelerated or otherwise, when the principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable, or sooner as described below. The Borrower shall have the right to pay the accrued interest in cash or in additional shares of common stock of the Borrower as provided below.

1.2 Prepayment. Provided that an Event of Default, nor an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, the Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) business days prior notice prepay all or a portion of the principal and accrued interest thereon. Any prepayment may be in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without prepayment charge or penalty.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION RIGHTS

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note into shares of common stock of the Borrower (“Common Stock”) as set forth below.

2.1. Conversion into Common Stock.

(a) The outstanding principal hereunder plus all interest accrued thereon may, at the Borrower’s option, be converted on or prior to the Maturity Date, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio which is based upon eighteen cents ($.18) (the “Conversion Price”). Within fifteen (15) days upon delivery to the Borrower of a notice stating the number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing, the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a stock certificate representing the Common Stock.

(b) The number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

A. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Borrower, or (F) the Borrower effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof, 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. 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.

B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, 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.

C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller 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 case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, 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.

(c) Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section, no fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon the conversion of this Note or any portion hereof, a cash amount equal to such fraction shall be paid to the Holder.

(d) Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than an amount of Common Stock equal to 100% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its 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.

2.2 Partial Conversion. If the Borrower elects to convert a portion of this Note pursuant to the terms hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock shall be proportionate to the amount converted, including accrued interest, at such time. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
