2.

INTEREST.


(a)    The outstanding principal balance of this Promissory Note shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest shall accrue on the actual number of days elapsed based upon a 365-day year. Interest through the last day of each calendar quarter shall be due and payable in arrears on the first business day of the month immediately following the end of such calendar quarter.


(b)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, the interest rate provided for herein shall not exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed under applicable usury law. Any payment paid in excess of this maximum rate of interest shall be deemed to be a prepayment of principal.


3.    REDEMPTION.  The Company may prepay in full or in part at any time the outstanding principal balance of this Promissory Note at par value plus any and all accrued interest thereon and in accordance with this Section 3. Any prepayment made by the Company shall be without penalty. Should Company at any time elect to prepay all or any portion of this Promissory Note it shall provide Holder with written notice of its intent to prepay including the amount to be prepaid ("Noticed Prepay Amount").  Thereafter upon receipt of such written notice, Holder shall have ten (10) business days in which to elect to convert the Noticed Prepay Amount ("Redemption Conversion Period") in accordance with Section 6 hereunder.  Should Holder elect to convert the Noticed Prepay Amount, then such election shall supersede the Company's election to redeem to the extent of the Noticed Prepay Amount. Should Holder fail to elect to convert the Noticed Prepay Amount within the Redemption Conversion Period in accordance with this Section 3, then Holder shall forfeit the right to convert the Noticed Prepay Amount only.

Thereupon, the Company shall issue a new Promissory Note or Promissory Notes of the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such securities laws restrictions. Any offer to sell, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition or encumbrance of this Promissory Note, or any interest therein, effected in violation of the foregoing transfer restrictions, is unlawful and shall not be consummated on the books and records of the Company or otherwise be recognized as valid by the Company, and the Company shall not have any liability therefore.


5.

SUBORDINATION.


This Promissory Note is on parity with any other form of debt of the Company including any other corporate obligations of the Company.


6.

CONVERSION.



(b)    The Holder, at its sole election, may elect to convert the outstanding balance due hereunder or any fraction thereof, including interest due, at the Conversion Price (as defined hereunder) at any time up to the Maturity Date (as defined herein) or such date as the Company pays the entirety of the principal and interest due hereunder, or automatically the date on which the Common Stock is listed for sale on a national stock exchange and has maintained for no less than thirty (30) consecutive trading days a sales or bid price average quoted on a national exchange of at least Five Dollars and No Cents ($5. 00) per share, as adjusted for stock splits, subdivisions, and combinations of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after the date hereof.


(c)    Before the Holder shall be entitled to exercise the option to convert this Promissory Note into shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this certificate, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company, shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office of the election to convert, and shall provide the Company with an investor representation letter containing such representations as are customary in a private placement of securities and as may be reasonably requested by the Company. The Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date that the Company receives the surrender of this Promissory Note to be converted, the written notice of election to convert, and the investor






representation letter, and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock as of that date.


(d)    On the conversion date, the Company shall cancel this Promissory Note and so annotate its books and records, and shall issue a certificate for the shares of Common Stock and deliver such certificate to the Holder; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver the certificate for the shares of Common Stock until the Holder shall have surrendered this Promissory Note or shall have notified the Company that this Promissory Note has been lost, stolen, or destroyed and shall have complied with the provisions of Paragraph 16 of this Promissory Note. On the conversion date, the Holder shall have no more rights under this Promissory Note and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of that date.


(e)    No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued on the conversion of this Promissory Note. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this subparagraph 6(e), be deliverable on the conversion of this Promissory Note, the Company shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share for that fractional interest, adjust the fractional interest by payment to the Holder an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Market Price of the fractional interest.


(f)

The Conversion Price shall be $0.10 unless adjusted in accordance with

Section 6 (g), (h) or (i) hereunder.


(g)   In the event of a stock split, subdivision, or combination of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, rounded to the nearest cent, such that this Promissory Note will be convertible into the same number of shares of Common Stock after such event as the Holder would have if this Promissory Note had been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event.


(h)   In the event of a capital reorganization, reclassification, exchange, or substitution of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets), this Promissory Note shall thereafter be convertible into the kind of securities or property that a holder of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive on such reorganization, reclassification, exchange, or substitution. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted, rounded to the nearest cent, such that this Promissory Note will be convertible into the same amount of securities or property after such event as the Holder would have if this Promissory Note had been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event.


(i)    In the event the Company shall merge or consolidate into another company where the Company is not the surviving entity, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to another person, this Promissory Note shall thereafter be convertible into the kind of securities or property that a holder of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive on such merger, consolidation, or sale. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted, rounded to the nearest cent, such that this Promissory Note will be convertible into the same amount of securities or property after such event as the Holder would have if this Promissory Note had been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event. In any such case, an appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Promissory Note with respect to the rights and interests






thereafter of the Holder such that the provisions of this Promissory Note (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable on conversion of this Promissory Note.


0)    In the event that the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock, whether directly or on the exercise of an option, warrant, or other right to purchase shares of Common Stock or on the conversion of any convertible security, for a sales price that is less than both the then Conversion Price and the Market Price (1) pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, or subdivision, (2) on the exercise or conversion of any option, warrant, or convertible security outstanding on the date hereof, or (3) pursuant to any employee stock or stock option plan approved by the Company's shareholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, rounded to the nearest cent, to be an amount equal to the Market Price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis outstanding immediately prior to the issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the total consideration received by the Company (as set forth in subparagraph 6(k) of this Promissory Note) would purchase at the then Conversion Price, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis outstanding immediately after the issuance.


(k)    When equity securities are issued in connection with debt securities, the allocation of the purchase price shall be as determined by the parties thereto, or if not so determined, then as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith.


(l)    Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company shall maintain at its principal executive office a statement, signed by its President, any Vice President, or Chief Financial Officer, showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring the adjustment and the Conversion Price after the adjustment.


(m)   In the event that the Company shall set a record date for the purpose of entitling the holders of the Common Stock to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Company shall reorganize or reclassify its capital stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares), merge or consolidate into another company, or sell of all or substantially all of its assets to another company, or in the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company, then the Company shall send a written notice, in the form described below, to the Holder. The notice shall state the date that has been set as the record date for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, or on which the reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place and the record date as of which holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property deliverable on reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. The notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in the notice, as determined pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence.


(n)    The Company shall reserve an amount of shares equal to the amount of conversion shares and the Company shall, from time to time, in accordance with Florida law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the authorized number

4

tlh






of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Promissory Note.


(o)    Holder shall be responsible for any and all tax consequences arising from this Promissory Note including any and all conversion to common stock.


7.    PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. In the event that the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock, whether directly or on the exercise of an option, warrant, or other right to purchase shares of Common Stock or on the conversion of any convertible security, for a price that is less than the Conversion Price then the Holder shall be entitled to participate in any such offering on equal term and conditions as any offeree at such terms of price and quantity being so offered ("Protective Provision").   Such Protective Provision shall expire and terminate upon completion of payment of the principal and interest due hereunder this Promissory Note.
