treat the person or entity in whose name this Note shall be
registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever
(whether or not this Note shall be overdue) and the Company shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The registered owner
of this Note shall have the right to transfer it by assignment and
the transferee thereof, upon its registration as owner of this
Note, shall become vested with all the powers and rights of the
transferor. Registration of any new owner shall take place upon
presentation of this Note to the Company at its principal place of
business together with an assignment of this Note duly

Company by the Holder, in person or by attorney, upon the surrender
hereof, duly endorsed. Communications sent to any registered owner
shall be effective as against all holders or transferees of this
Note not registered at the time of sending the
communication.
2.1 Grant of Right . Subject to the terms hereof, and for so long
as any amounts remain unpaid hereunder, beginning on the date on
which a Qualified Transaction closes and ending on the thirtieth
(30 th
) calendar day thereafter, the
Holder or the Company shall have the right to convert all (but not
less than all) of the principal amount (the “Conversion
Amount”), into shares (“Conversion Shares”) of
the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock") at a conversion price per share (the "Conversion
Price") equal to seventy percent (70%) of the lowest price per
share paid by a third-party investor for a share of Common Stock in
a Qualified Financing. For purposes hereof, the term
“Qualified Financing” shall mean the first transaction
after the date of this Note in which the Company issues to any
person or entity any shares of Common Stock, or any rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock (excluding (i) the issuance of any convertible promissory
note on or after the date hereof having substantially the same
conversion price as this Note and the issuance of any warrants
issued thereon having substantially the same terms and provisions
as the warrants issued in connection this Note, as well as any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of
such note or warrant in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) any
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion or
exchange of any rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities, and any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise thereof, which rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities were issued on or prior to
the date of this Note, (iii) any rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities and any shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion or exercise thereof or any shares of
Common Stock otherwise issued or issuable pursuant to employees,
directors, officers, consultants, or independent contractors of the
Company in consideration of past or future services rendered by
such parties to the Company or its affiliates, (iv) shares of
Common Stock issued for consideration other than cash, including
without limitation shares issued in the settlement of any claim
against the Company, (v) shares of Common Stock or other securities
issued in a financing transaction that, together with all prior
related financing transactions containing the same terms, results
in gross proceeds to the Company of less than $2,000,000, and (vi)
shares of Common Stock issued as consideration for a merger or
acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a third
party). In a Qualified Financing, if the Company issues any rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock, the per share Common Stock purchase price in such
transaction shall be determined by dividing (1) the total amount
receivable by the Company in consideration for the sale and
issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities, plus the total consideration receivable by
the Company upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, by (2)
the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by such rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the “total amount
receivable by the Company” will include the fair market value
of all non-cash consideration received or receivable by the Company
in consideration for the issuance, including, in the case of
warrants granted in conjunction with a debt facility, the value
received by the Company for such warrants in excess of the exercise
price thereof.
2.2 Exercise Procedure . The foregoing conversion privilege may be
exercised by the Holder only by delivery and surrender of this Note
to the Company at its then principal place of business together
with the Note Conversion Form annexed hereto as Exhibit A duly
executed ("Notice of Exercise"). Subject to the terms hereof, upon
Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of
record of the Conversion Shares, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that
certificates representing such Conversion Shares shall not then
have actually been delivered to the Holder. The Company may
exercise the foregoing conversion privilege by delivering to Holder
a stock certificate evidencing ownership of the Conversion Shares
along with a copy of this Promissory Note marked
“Cancelled”.
2.3
No Fractional Shares
. The Company shall not be required
to issue certificates representing fractions of shares upon any
conversion hereof, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay
cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the
Company and the Holder that all fractional interests shall be
eliminated.
2.4 Limitation on Rights of the Holder
. The Holder shall not, by virtue
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company
prior to any conversion hereof, either at law or in equity, and the
rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this
Note.
2.5 Certain Adjustments. In case the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend
with respect to its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification
of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in
connection with a merger, consolidation or other business
combination in which the Company is the continuing corporation)
(each of the actions in (i)-(iv) is hereinafter referred to as an
“Adjustment Event”), the number of Conversion Shares
that may be acquired upon conversion of this Note immediately prior
to the record date for such Adjustment Event shall be adjusted so
that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number
of Conversion Shares or other securities of the Company that such
Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening of such Adjustment Event, had the Note been converted in
whole immediately prior to the happening of such Adjustment Event
or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made

after the effective date of such Adjustment Event, retroactive to
