FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Driftwood Ventures, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company” ),
hereby promises to pay to the order of _________ (or his or its
successors or assigns, the “Holder” ),
the principal amount of _______ Dollars ($_______), plus interest
in arrears from and including the date hereof on the principal
balance from time to time outstanding, computed daily, at a rate
per annum equal to five percent (5%) for the time period beginning
on the date hereof and ending on the Maturity Date. This Senior
Secured Convertible Secured Promissory Note (this
“Note” ) may not be prepaid in whole or
in part without the consent of the Requisite Holders (as defined in
Section 8 hereof). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Holder hereof
does not intend to charge and the Company shall not be required to
pay any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum
interest permitted by applicable law, and any payments in excess of
such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce
principal hereunder. All payments received by the Holder hereunder
will be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to
interest and the balance to principal.
This Note is one of a series of Senior Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes of like tenor (collectively, the
“ Notes ”) to be issued by the Company
pursuant to the terms of that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated
as of September __, 2008 (as may be amended and/or restated from
time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”
) among the Company and the purchasers set forth on the Schedule of
Purchasers thereto. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement. By acceptance of this Note, the Holder and the
Company each hereby agree that each of the Notes shall rank equally
and ratably without priority over one another, and the Company
covenants and agrees that none of the Notes shall be paid, in whole
or in part, unless a reasonably equivalent, pro rata payment is
made with respect to all other Notes so as to maintain as near as
possible the amount of the debt owing under the Notes pro rata
according to the respective balances owed as of the date
immediately prior to such payment. This Note will be registered on
the books of the Company or its agent as to principal and interest.
Any transfer of this Note may be effected only by surrender of this
Note to the Company and reissuance of a new Note to the transferee.
Payments of principal and interest will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available United States funds transferred to the
account of the Holder, which account information shall have been
furnished to the Company by the Holder for that purpose.

benefits of, a Security Agreement (the “Security
