consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties,
covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Note Holders and the
Company agree to the payment in full of the Notes in exchange for the

option, elect to exchange the principal amount of such Note Holder’s Note;
provided however, that the minimum amount that may be exchanged at any one
time shall be $10,000; and provided further, that if the principal amount

b.
|
Upon
the exchange of any Principal into shares of Common Stock (the “Principal
Shares”), the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Note

Exhibit C, (the “Exchange Notice”); provided however, in no
event shall the exchange price be less than $0.28 (the “Principal Exchange

In

thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly
electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon exchange to the
Note Holder by crediting the account of the Note Holder or its nominee
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DTC

the Note Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock
issuable upon exchange. Further, a Holder may instruct the Company to
