A. Purchaser holds a promissory note in the original principal amount of $___________ dated __________________ (the “Note”).
B. The Company is in the process of attempting a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to which the Company desires to (i) raise capital to restart certain of its operations; (ii) restructure certain of its equity; and (c) extinguish a significant portion of its debt, although no assurance can be given that the Recapitalization will be successful in whole or in part.
C. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser desires to convert the Note for shares of the Common Stock of the Company at a price of $0.06 per share.

AGREEMENT
1. Conversion of Note. The Company hereby issues to Purchaser ___ shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company, and the Purchaser hereby converts the Note into the Shares. The number of Shares has been determined based upon dividing the outstanding balance of the Note (principal of $_________ plus accrued and unpaid interest of $____as of the date hereof) by $____ and rounding to the nearest whole Share. Purchaser has concurrently herewith delivered the original Note to the Company. The Company agrees to instruct its transfer agent to issue the Shares to Purchaser promptly after the date hereof.

2.1 Purchaser understands that: (a) the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws; (b) the issuance and sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
2.2 Purchaser has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the Shares and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.

2.3 Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable Purchaser to utilize the information made available to Purchaser in connection with the offering of the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
2.4 Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of the acquisition of the Shares, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own advisors.
2.5 Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for the Purchaser’s own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part.

Legends shall be placed on the Shares to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. In addition, appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s books, and stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent of the Shares.
2.7 Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.
