a

FOR
VALUE

the
principal sum of Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($266,000.00), on the Maturity Date. Upon default, all amounts due hereunder
shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the day such interest
is
due hereunder through and including the date of payment. If any payment is
not
received by the Holder within fifteen (15) days
following its due date, without limiting any right or remedy under this Note,
the Holder may charge a late fee equal to one and one-half (1.5%) percent of
the
total amount overdue. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address
of the Holder last appearing on the Note Register.
This
Note
is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section
1.
The
Notes are exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of
different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the
same but shall not be issuable in denominations of less than integral multiples
of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) unless such amount represents the full
principal balance of Notes outstanding to such Holder. No service charge will
be
made for such registration of transfer or exchange.
Section
2.
(a) The
Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company
before transferring this Note; such notice will describe briefly the proposed
transfer and will give the Company the name, address, and tax identification
number of the proposed transferee, and will further provide the Company with
an
opinion of the Holder’s counsel that such transfer can be accomplished in
accordance with federal and applicable state securities laws (unless such
transaction is permitted by the plan of distribution in an effective
Registration Statement). Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the
Company shall present copies thereof to the Company’s counsel.
(i) If
in the
opinion of such counsel the proposed transfer may be effected without
registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws),
the
Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder of such opinion,
whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Note or to dispose
of
Underlying Shares received upon the previous conversion of this Note, all in
accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company;
provided that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Note respecting
restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of
counsel and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which
would
be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws; and provided further that the prospective transferee or
purchaser shall execute such documents and make such representations,
warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the
exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition of the
Note.
(ii) If
in the
opinion of the counsel referred to in this Section 2, the proposed transfer
or
disposition of this Note described in the written notice given pursuant to
this
Section 2 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this
Note, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder,
and
the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such as, in the opinion
of
such counsel, are permitted by law.
(b) Prior
to
transfer of this Note in compliance with this Section 2, the Company and any
agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly
registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving
payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this
Note
is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

Section
4. Interest
Rate Limitation.
The
parties intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws in effect from
time to time during the term of the Loan. Accordingly, if any transaction
contemplated hereby would be usurious under such laws, then notwithstanding
any
other provision hereof: (i) the aggregate of all interest that is contracted
for, charged, or received under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document
shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law (the
"Highest Lawful Rate"), and any excess shall be promptly credited to Borrower
by
Lender (or, to the extent that such consideration shall have been paid, such
excess shall be promptly refunded to Borrower by Xxxxxx); (ii) neither Borrower
nor any other Person now or hereafter liable hereunder shall be obligated to
pay
the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Highest
Lawful Rate; and (iii) the effective rate of interest shall be reduced to the
Highest Lawful Rate. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the
use,
forbearance, and detention of the debt of Borrower to Lender shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be allocated throughout the full term of
the
Note until payment is made in full so that the actual rate of interest does
not
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate in effect at any particular time during the
full
term thereof. If at any time the rate of interest under the Note exceeds the
Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Agreement
shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
to
the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the Base Rate shall
not reduce the interest to accrue pursuant to this Agreement below the Highest
Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of
interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the
interest rate under the Note had at all times been in effect. If the total
amount of interest paid or accrued pursuant to this Agreement under the
foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have
accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate under the Note
had been in effect, then Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an amount equal to
the
difference between (x) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest that would
have
accrued if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect, or (B)
the
amount of interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal
to
the interest rate under the Note had at all times been in effect, and (y) the
amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this
Agreement.
Section
5. Prepayment.
(a) The
Company shall have the right to prepay this Note in whole or in part thereon
prior to the Maturity Date.
(b) The
Company shall give at least five (5) business days, but not more than ten (10)
business days, written notice of any intention to prepay this Note prior to
the
Maturity Date to the Holder which notice shall specify the “Prepayment
Date”.
Section
6. Definitions.
For the
purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

required by law or other government action to close.

40% of such securities following such transaction. The execution by the Company
of an agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound
providing for any of the events set forth above in (i) or (ii) does not
constitute the occurrence of the event until after the event in fact occurs.
Section

as
expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair

appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

the
extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for
any
reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement
of
or protection of any of its rights under any of this Note.
Section
11. Any
waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note
shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of
such
provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure
of
the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this
Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that
party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term
or
any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
