FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Global
Matrechs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Maker
”), hereby promises to pay to Southridge Partners LP (the
“ Payee ”) the principal sum of thirty thousand
dollars ($30,000) in one installment due on December 31, 2007 (the
“ Maturity Date ”) together with interest from
and after the date hereof at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum
computed on the unpaid principal balance on the basis of a 365-day
year. All payments made hereunder shall be made in immediately
available funds. By acceptance of this Note, the Payee represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees that it will abide by and be bound
by its terms.
1. Conversion . The Payee shall have the option at any time to
convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest
on this Note into a number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par
value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) equal to
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of principal
and interest being so converted and the denominator of which shall
be equal to the Conversion Price (the “ Conversion
Shares ”). “The “ Conversion Price
” shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of
the seven lowest closing bid prices for the ten (10) trading days
immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The “Conversion
Date” shall be defined as the date in which the Issuer
receives written notice by Holder of its election to convert all or
a portion of the Note pursuant to this Section 1.
2. Restrictions on Conversion
. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of Conversion Shares that may
be acquired by the Payee upon any conversion of this Note (or
otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such conversion, the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such
Payee and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the
Payee’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act
”), does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such
purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
3. Prepayment The Maker shall have the right to redeem this
Note at any time by providing written notice to the Payee by making
a cash payment to the Payee of the outstanding principal amount of
the Note multiplied by 120%, plus all accrued interest: Written
notice to the Payee shall be received at least 5 business days
prior to the date of redemption payment (“Redemption
Date”). If the redemption payment is not made on or before
the Redemption Date, the redemption notice shall be rendered null
and void and the Payee thereafter shall have the right to convert
any portion of the outstanding principal of the Note.

event the Maker shall issue shares of Common Stock in a stock
dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately before such stock dividend, stock
distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or
subdivision, be proportionately decreased and the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be
proportionately increased.
(ii) Combinations or Consolidations
. In the event the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of
Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be
proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be proportionately
decreased.
(iii) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or
Substitution . In the
event that the class of securities issuable upon the conversion of
this Note shall be changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, then and in each
such event the Payee shall have the right thereafter to convert
this Note for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, or other change, by Payees of the number of
shares of the class of securities into which such Note might have
been convertible for immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as
provided herein.
(iv) Adjustment for Merger, Consolidation or Sale of
Assets . In the event
that the Maker shall merge or consolidate with or into another
entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets, this Note
