Promissory Note (this “Note” or “Promissory
Note”) evidences the loan of One Hundred and Seventy-Two

|
2.

Payment
Terms .
The Company promises to pay
to Holder the balance of Principal, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, on September 23, 2009 (the
“Maturity Date”), unless this Note is earlier prepaid
as herein provided or earlier converted into Common Stock (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company pursuant to Section 3
hereof. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money
of the United States of America. Payment shall be credited
first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the
remainder to Principal.

|
3.
|
Interest . Interest on the outstanding portion
of Principal of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum. All computations of interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days
elapsed. Such interest shall accrue and be paid upon the
Maturity Date of the Loan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a.
|
Notwithstanding
any provision in this Note, the total liability for payments of
interest and payments in the nature of interest, including all
charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be
deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the
usury laws of the State of Florida or the applicable laws of the
United States of America, whichever shall be higher (the “
Maximum Rate ”).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b.
|
In the event
the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the
nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges,
fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be
interest, which for any month or other interest payment period
exceeds the Maximum Rate, all sums in excess of those lawfully
collectible as interest for the period in question (and without
further agreement or notice by, among or to the Holder the
undersigned) shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
balance, with the same force and effect as though the undersigned
had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to
the reduction of the principal balance and the Holder had agreed to
accept such sums as a premium-free prepayment of principal;
provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time
to time, elect, by notice in writing to the undersigned, to waive,
reduce or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those
lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a
prepayment of the principal balance. The undersigned
does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Holder intend or
expect to charge, accept or collect any interest under this Note
greater than the Maximum Rate.

of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a
