agreed to assume certain debts of Maker, and in consideration, Maker has
agreed to pay to Payee the sum of $80,975 in principal, plus interest
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note;
and
|
B.
|
WHEREAS pursuant to the
terms of this Note, Maker is agreeing to settle all outstanding debts owed
to Payee.
|
NOW,
THEREFORE:
1.
|
Promise to
Pay. In consideration for Payee assuming certain debt
obligations of Maker, Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee, at
Payee’s address set out above or at such other place as Payee may
designate by written notice to Maker, the principal sum of
$80,975 (the “Principal Balance”),
together with any accrued interest and any fees or charges under this
Note. Any accrued interest and any fees or charges under this Note
shall become part of the Principal Balance. This Note reflects all monies
due by Maker to Payee as of the date of the
Agreement.
|
2.
|
Interest. The
Principal Balance shall be repaid by Maker to Payee with interest, which
shall accrue on the outstanding Principal Balance at the rate of six percent (6%)
per year, beginning nine (9) months from the Effective Date, and shall
continue to accrue until all sums due under this Note are paid in full.
Interest on the outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated on the
basis of actual days elapsed and a 365 or 366 day year (as applicable) to
the due date of the payment.
|
5
3.
|
Terms of
Repayment. The Principal Balance, together with any
accrued interest and any fees or charges, shall be payable as follows
until the outstanding Principal Balance has been
paid:
|
|
(a)
|
The
“Immediate Debts” shall be payable in one (1) installment of $5,000, due
ten (10) days after the Effective
Date;
|
|
(b)
|
The
“Short-Term Debts” shall be payable in three (3) installments of $15,625
every (30) days, with the first installment due thirty (30) days after the
Effective Date; and
|
.
|
(c)
|
The “Mid-Term
Debts” shall be payable in sixteen (16) monthly installments of $1,818.75
per month with the first installment due on May 1, 2009, and the rest of
the installments due every month thereafter on the first (1st) day of each
month for a period of fifteen (15)
months.

|
Acknowledgements. Maker

Charge. Maker shall pay to Payee a late charge of ten
percent (10%) of any payment under this Note that is not received by Payee
within five (5) days after Maker receives notice from Payee of failure to
timely make such payment (the “Late Charge”). Maker
recognizes that any late payment shall result in Payee incurring
additional expense in servicing the loan evidenced by this Note, in terms
of the loss of use of funds due to Payee and in frustration of Payee’s
commitments. Maker agrees that Payee shall be entitled to damages for the
detriment caused by any late payment, but that it is extremely difficult
and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Therefore, Maker
and Payee hereby agree that the Late Charge is a reasonable estimate of
such damages to Payee. Any Late Charge shall be applied on a one-time-only
basis with respect to each
delinquency.

accrued interest and any fees or charges (a “Conversion”), into
shares of Maker’s common stock (the " Conversion Shares"), at
a twenty percent (20%) discount to market on the day of such
Conversion.
|
|
(b)
|
Payee shall
give written notice of any Conversion to Maker, substantially in
the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the "Conversion Notice"), at
Maker’s address specified above. Such Conversion shall be deemed to
have been effected at the close of business on the date on which such
Conversion Notice, duly completed and executed, shall have been sent in
accordance with section 16 of this
Note.
|
|
(c)
|

Shares and shall issue to Payee certificates evidencing same and deliver
them to Payee at Payee’s address set out in the Conversion Notice, at
Maker’s expense. "Business Day" for this
purpose means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which
banks in the city of Vancouver, Washington are required or authorized to
be closed.

arrange for legal opinions and to give instructions to Maker’s transfer

|
11.
|
Consent and
Waiver. All suretyship defenses, including presentment,
notice of dishonor and protest, are hereby waived by Maker and any
