filings made by the Company, including without limitation the financial
statements included therein (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Reports"). In

Act, is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of
a speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States

informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which
represents a speculative investment. Subscriber has the authority and
is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the
Securities. Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment

Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of the

If the
answer to the above question is “Yes,” please contact Xxxxx Xxxxx, 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)?

|
o No
|
If the
answer to the above question is “Yes,” please contact Xxxxx Xxxxx for additional
information that will be required.

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 Xxxxx 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

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

priority over one another. No conversion or payment shall be made

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),

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.
6
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.
