|
WHEREAS pursuant to an
Assignment and Assumption of Debt Agreement among Maker and Payee dated
February 10, 2009 (the “Agreement”), Payee has
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.
|
14
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.
|
4.
|
Acknowledgements. Maker
and Payee each acknowledge that as of the Effective

amount owed of the “Mid-Term Debts” owed by Maker to Payee is

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.

outstanding Principal Balance, together with any 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.
|
|

Shares and shall issue to Payee certificates evidencing same and deliver

|

CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE
$100,000
This Convertible
Promissory Note (the “Note”) is dated for reference
the 10th day of February, 2009 (the “Effective Date”).
MAKER: AEON
HOLDINGS INC.
10000, X.X. 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx
000-X
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
PAYEE: XXXXXXX
CAPITAL CORP.
a Delaware
corporation
RECITALS:
A.
|
WHEREAS Maker has agreed
to pay to Payee the sum of $100,000 in principal, plus interest pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note, in
consideration of Payee cancelling Maker’s outstanding debt to
Payee.
|
NOW,
THEREFORE:
1.
|
Promise to
Pay. In consideration for Payee cancelling Maker’s
outstanding debt to Payee, Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee or
Payee’s designee the principal sum of $100,000 (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 Effective
Date.
|
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.
|
3.
|
Terms of
Repayment. The Principal Balance, together with any
accrued interest and any fees or charges, shall be payable in sixteen (16)
monthly installments of $6,250 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
or until the outstanding Principal Balance, together with any accrued
interest and any fees or charges, has been paid. All payments under this
Note shall be made in Vancouver, British Columbia and shall be delivered
by wire transfer to a bank account designated by
Payee.
|
4.
|
Late
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.
|
24
5.
|
Conversion
Rights.
|
|
(a)
|
For each
payment under this Note not received by Payee within five (5) days of its
due date, Payee shall have the option to convert up to $20,000
of the outstanding Principal Balance, together with any 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 15 of this
Note.
|
|
(c)
|
As promptly
as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after any
Conversion, Maker, at its expense, shall cause Payee's name to be entered
in the register of the shareholders of Maker in respect of the Conversion
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.
|
6.
|
Legend
Removal. Upon Payee’s written request, Maker agrees to
arrange for legal opinions and to give instructions to Maker’s transfer
agent and to cover all costs to remove all restrictive legends on the
share certificates representing any Conversion Shares held by Payee more
than six (6) months after the Effective
Date.
|
7.
|
Transfer of Conversion
Shares. All Conversion Shares shall be sold only in
accordance with the Lock-Up Agreement, attached hereto as Appendix 2,
which the parties agree to execute as of the Effective
Date.

Prepayment. Maker
may prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or
premium.
|
9.
|
Costs and Attorneys’
Fees. Maker agrees to pay Payee any costs Payee may
incur in filing any court action or suit as a result of Maker’s failure to
make the payments provided for in this Note, including Payee’s attorneys’
fees. If Payee files a court action or suit and wins, Maker
agrees to pay, in addition to the amounts due under this Note, Payee’s
court costs and its reasonable attorneys’ fees as determined by the trial
court and any appellate court or courts in the event the case is appealed,
and on any petition for review.
|
10.
|
Consent and
Waiver. All suretyship defenses, including presentment,
notice of dishonor and protest, are hereby waived by Maker and any
endorsers of this Note. Any extension, waiver or renewal shall not affect
the liability of Maker or any
endorser.
|

Controlling
Law. The parties agree to attorn to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia to resolve any dispute
relating to this Note.
|
12.
|
Security. Pursuant
to the terms of this Note, the convertible option of this Note shall
provide the security for Payee.

Provisions. With respect to this Note, time shall be of
