4. Alternative
Method of Payment / Optional Prepayment
A. Alternate Methods of
Payment: Subject to the conditions set forth below and customary
equity conditions (including an effective registration statement), the Company
may elect to make such payments of principal and interest under the Debenture,
in freely tradable shares of the Company’s common stock. Each share
of the of the Company’s Common stock will be valued at the Fixed Price (as
defined in Section 5 below), as determined at the lesser of (1) on the day the
Company gives notice, or (2) on the day the Company delivers the
shares. The Company is required to notify Micro Pipe Fund I, L.L.C.
of its election to make such payment in shares at least ten days prior to the
payment date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company’s right to make such payment in shares in lieu of cash can only be made
if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock has been
trading at a price of $0.05 or above per share for 10 consecutive days prior to
the date of the payment date and the average daily trading volume is at least 15
times the number of shares to be so issued hereby as payment.
B. Pre-Payment
Option: Subject to customary equity conditions, the Company may at
any time, upon 30 days written notice, prepay all of the outstanding Notes on a
pro-rata basis at 110% of the outstanding principal balance only after the note
has amortized 1 year. In the event that Maker sends a Prepayment Notice to
Lender, Lender may elect prior to the Prepayment Date to convert into common
stock of TeknoCreations, Inc. (“TeknoCreations, Inc. Common Stock”), pursuant to
Section 5 hereof, all or part of the amount of principal to be repaid by the
proposed Prepayment instead of receiving such prepayment.
5. Optional/Mandatory
Conversion. At any time prior to repayment of all amounts as under the Note, but
not sooner than six months from the date of this Note, all or any portion of the
principal amount of the Note shall be convertible at the option of the Lender
into fully paid and non-assessable shares of TeknoCreations, Inc. Common
Stock. The number of shares of TeknoCreations, Inc. Common Stock that
Lender shall be entitled to receive upon conversion shall be equal to the number
attained by dividing the principal, including accrued interest pursuant to the
Note being converted by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price”
shall be shall be equal to the lesser of (a) fifty percent (50%) of the closing
bid price for Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Lender’s
receipt of shares pursuant to such Conversion or payment, or Notice of such
Conversion or (b) fifty percent (50%) of the average closing bid price for
Common Stock on the five trading days immediately prior to the Lender’s receipt
of shares pursuant to such Conversion or payment, or Notice of such Conversion
(the “Fixed Price”). For purposes of the preceding sentence, (a) and
(b), and the pricing, where the Lender already has possession of shares pursuant
to such Conversion or payment, Notice shall be operative, and not receipt. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Maker delivers shares on a date other
than when shares are due or payable in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Lender can treat the share delivery as though made when due.

certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of TeknoCreations,
Inc. Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note or portion thereof
registered in the name of Lender in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5.
B. Each conversion shall be
deemed to have been effected on the date the conversion notice shall have been
received by Maker, as aforesaid, and Lender shall be deemed to have become on
said date the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of this Note. Any amounts so converted shall not be
reborrowed.
C. The Lender shall not be
entitled to convert, if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by
the Lender and its affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company on such exercise or conversion date,
including:
(i) the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its
affiliates ( and such identified non-affiliated persons), and
2
(ii) the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant
and/or options and/or conversion.
For the
purposes of this provision as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Lender shall not be limited
to aggregate warrant and/or option exercises and/or conversion of only 9.99% and
aggregate warrant and/or option exercises and/or conversion by the Lender may
exceed 9.99%. The Lender may void the exercise limitation described
in this Section upon 61 days prior written notice to the Company. The
Lender may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned
