FOR VALUE RECEIVED, US Natural Gas Corp a Florida corporation with offices at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. St. N, St. Petersburg, Florida 33704 (hereinafter referred to as the “Payor” or the “Company”), agrees to pay to the order of Tangiers Investors, LP, a Delaware limited partnership with offices at ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (hereinafter referred to as the “Payee” or “Tangiers”), on the Maturity Date set forth in Article “3” of this Convertible Note (the “Note”), unless earlier accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Note, the principal sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) with interest on the aforesaid amount as set forth in Article “2” of this Note.
1. Funding.
Upon receipt of the executed original of this Note (“Closing Date”), Tangiers shall wire transfer to the Company pursuant to wire instructions from the Company, ten thousand dollars ($10,000), less:
(A) Any applicable wire transfer fees
2. Interest.
(A) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be calculated commencing upon the Closing Date and shall be at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum with accrued and unpaid interest being payable on the Maturity Date.
(B) If an Event of Default occurs pursuant to Article “9” of this Note, this Note shall be immediately due and payable and interest shall accrue at the rate of 20%. The Payor acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Payee’s actual damages and costs resulting from a default and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
(C) It is the intent of the Payee and the Payor in the execution of this Note that the loan evidenced hereby comply with the restrictions of applicable state usury laws. If, for any reason, it should be determined that any usury law is applicable (which the parties do not believe to be the case), the Payor and the Payee stipulate and agree that (i) the interest (or any other consideration pursuant to this Note) pursuant to this Note or in any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced herein shall be limited to the maximum permitted by such law, (ii) none of the terms and provisions contained herein shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by any state laws which are applicable, (iii) the obligation of the Payor shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted to be charged by any state laws which are applicable, and (iv) the Payee shall not collect monies which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by any such applicable state law. Any sums collected, which are in excess of such maximum rate, shall be credited to the payment of any other sums due hereunder. If no sums are due hereunder, then such excess shall be returned to the Payor.
1
(A) Subject to payment pursuant to Article “2” of this Note, all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on July 11, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).
(B) This Note may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the Payee which consent shall be in the Payee’s sole and absolute discretion.
4. Conversion.
(A) The Payee may elect to convert all or part of the principal of this Convertible Note and any accrued and unpaid interest at any time or times before July 11, 2012. The conversion price shall be sixty (60%) percent of the lowest trading price during the five (5) trading days prior to conversion, subject to adjustment pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, if an Event of Default pursuant to Article “9” of this Note occurs, this Note shall be subject to an interest rate of twenty (20%) percent and the Conversion Price formula shall be reduced to forty (40%) of the lowest trading price during the five (5) trading days prior to conversion.
(i.) If the Payee does not provide written notice of its intention to convert some or all of the unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due, Payor shall pay the amount due on the Maturity Date.
(ii.) If all or part of this Note is converted pursuant to Paragraph “A” of this Article “4” of this Note, the shares shall be delivered to the Payee within three (3) business days after the date upon which the Payor receives a Conversion Notice (such third (3rd) business day the “Conversion Share Due Date”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”; provided, however, that a Conversion Notice delivered after 1:00 o’clock P.M. on any business day shall be deemed to be delivered on the next following business day.
(iii.) If all or part of this Note is converted pursuant to Paragraph “A” of this Article “4” of this Note, all shares delivered to the Payee shall be free-trading if the shares are issued after six (6) months after the date of this Note. If any shares delivered to the Payee are not free-trading, on July 11, 2012, at its own cost, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue an opinion letter to the Company’s transfer agent, or its successor (the “Transfer Agent”), that the said shares may be sold or transferred without restriction or limitation in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and direct the Transfer Agent to replace such shares with a certificate that does not contain a restrictive legend. After the receipt by the Transfer Agent of the certificate representing such shares from Tangiers (or its broker) requesting the issuance of an unrestricted certificate, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Transfer Agent. If the newly issued unrestricted stock is not delivered to Tangiers or its broker within four (4) business days after the receipt of the restricted shares, the Company shall pay an additional amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per calendar day for each day that delivery of the unrestricted stock certificate is delayed; provided, however, that receipt of the restricted certificate after 1:00 p.m. local time shall be deemed to be receipt on the next following business day. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Tangiers’ actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in making delivery of the unrestricted stock certificate and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty. These liquidated damages shall be added to the principal value of the note.
(B) The Payor shall pay any and all stock transfer fees. No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued upon conversion, but the number of shares issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share, based upon the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Payee. The date upon which a Conversion Notice is received by the Payor shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Payee has delivered the conversion notice duly executed, to the Payor; provided, however, that a Conversion Notice delivered after 1:00 o’clock P.M. on any business day shall be deemed to be delivered on the next following business day. Upon receipt of the Shares for the full conversion and/or payment of this Note, the Payee shall deliver this Note to the Payor marked “cancelled.”
2
(C) If the Payor fails to deliver shares timely pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note, the Payor shall pay to the Payee an additional amount of shares equal in number to one (1%) percent of the number of shares of Common Stock required to be issued per calendar day for each calendar day that the shares are delayed after the Conversion Share Due Date. The Payor acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Payee’s actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in delivering the Shares on or prior to the Conversion Share Due Date and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
(D) If, upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ request to convert all or part of this Note pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note, the shares are not available by reason of the Payor not having enough authorized and unissued shares to issue the shares to Tangiers, the Payor shall take all necessary action to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock to satisfy Tangiers’ request to convert all or part of this Note.
(E) In order to preserve the conversion rights of the Payee, the conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur, including, but not limited to, any of the events that are set forth below:
(i.) The issuance of any previously authorized or newly authorized shares (common or any other securities convertible into common) of the Payor for less than the conversion price per share at the time of conversion pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note;
(ii.) A recapitalization of the outstanding shares of the Payor which has the effect of changing the percentage of shares which this Note may be converted into in relation to the total number of outstanding shares;
(iii.) The payment of any stock dividends;
(iv.) The distribution to any holders of shares of the Payor’s securities, evidences of indebtedness of the Payor or assets (excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings);
(v.) The issuance after the date hereof of any stock options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares in the Payor at a price less than the current market value of such shares; and
(vi.) Any capital reorganization by the Payor, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Payor’s capital stock, or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Payor to or consolidation or merger of the Payor with or into any other Person.
(F) Upon the occurrence of any of the above events (any of such events is hereinafter referred to as a “Dilution Event”), then, in such event, the Payor will immediately take whatever measures are necessary to insure that the percentage interest in the Payor which the Note may be converted into would not be increased or reduced. Any adjustment which is required by this Paragraph “F” of this Article “4” of this Note shall be deemed effective retroactive to the date of the Dilution Event. The provisions of this Paragraph “F” of this Article “4” of this Note shall be applicable to any Dilution Event which occurs at any time after the date of this Note. If any of the Dilution Events occur, the Payor will mail or cause to be mailed a notice pursuant to Paragraph “C” of Article “19,” to the Payee of this Note specifying the Dilution Event(s) which has occurred.
3

The Payor shall keep the registration effective until such time as the Payee has sold its shares.
(B) All expenses in connection with preparing and filing any registration statement under Paragraph “A” of this Article “6” of this Note (and any registration or qualification under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of states in which the offering will be made under such registration statement) shall be borne in full by the Payor.
Unless and until this Note has been fully satisfied by payment or conversion, the Payor shall:
(A) Increase the number of shares of the Company if the shares are not available by reason of the Payor not having enough authorized and unissued shares to issue the shares to Tangiers upon ▇▇▇▇▇’s request to convert all or part of this Note pursuant to Article “4” of this Note.
