SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

US $                March     , 2012

For value received, DayStar Technologies, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), or its successor, promises to pay to                     (the
“Holder”) the principal sum of US $                    on the terms set forth
below. Interest on the outstanding principal amount shall accrue at the rate of
6% per annum on and from the date of issuance. In the event this Note is
outstanding and not paid in full on the Maturity Date, Interest shall thereafter
accrue at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall accrue daily but need not be
paid until the Maturity Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. This Note is issued pursuant
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and the
Holder dated as of March     , 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.

1. Conversion of the Note

a. Conversion Timing and Price. At any time after the issuance of this Note, the
Holder may, by written notice to the Company, elect to convert all or any part
of the outstanding principal plus any amount of accrued but unpaid interest into
common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) at a price per share equal
to the last Closing Bid Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Principal
Trading Market prior to the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement
(subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends or
other recapitalization of Common Stock subsequent to the date of such sale or
issuance) (as adjusted, the “Conversion Price”).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. Delivery of Conversion Shares. The Conversion Shares shall be delivered as
follows:

i. As promptly as practicable after conversion, the Company shall deliver to
Holder, or to such person or persons as are designated by Holder in the
conversion notice, (1) a certificate or certificates representing the number of
shares of common stock into which this Note or portion thereof is to be
converted, in such name or names as are specified in the Conversion Notice and
(2) in the case of conversion of the entire remaining principal balance plus
accrued unpaid interest hereof, any cash payable in respect of a fractional
share. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of
business on the date when this Note shall have been surrendered to the Company
for conversion, so that the person entitled to receive such Conversion Shares
shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such
Conversion Shares at such time.

ii. In the event that less than the entire outstanding principal and accrued
unpaid interest of this Note is converted hereunder pursuant to subsection
(a) above, this Note shall not be surrendered for cancellation but shall have
the fact and amount of conversion recorded on the face of this Note by writing
acknowledged by Holder and the Company. If less than the entire principal
balance of this Note is converted, the amount of principal converted shall be
reduced to the nearest amount that results in no fractional shares.

c. Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees that, during the period within
which this Note may be converted, the Company will at all times have authorized
and in reserve, and will keep available solely for delivery upon the conversion
of this Note, a sufficient number of shares of common stock and other securities
and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the conversion of
this Note, free and clear of all restrictions on issuance, sale or transfer
other than those imposed by law and free and clear of all pre-emptive rights.
The Company agrees that the Conversion Shares shall, at the time of such
delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and
the Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the
stated value or par value per share of the Conversion Shares is at all times
equal to or less than the Conversion Price.

d. Stockholder Approval. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock
would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the listing rules or
regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the number if shares which may be
issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except
that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the
approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq
Capital Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount.
Unless and until such approval is obtained, the Holder shall not be issued
shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap. This
provision shall apply for the life of the transaction, even if the Company is no
longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

c. Ranking. Subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence,
this Note and the rights and remedies of the Holder under this Note, shall be
senior in right of payment to all other indebtedness of the Company, now or
hereafter existing. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Note
and the rights and remedies of the Holder under this Note shall be pari passu
with the rights of payment of holders of existing senior debt of the Company
(with respect to such senior debt) and any other note issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement.

3. Transfer

a. Assignment. In order to transfer this Note, Holder, or its duly authorized
representative, shall provide Company a copy of an assignment duly executed by
Holder hereof, but in no event shall this Note be transferred to a third party
unrelated to Holder, unless (i) an Event of Default has been declared by Holder
and (ii) Company shall have received prior written notice of such transfer. In
the event that Holder seeks to make a transfer of this Note to an unrelated
party in the absence of registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities laws, Holder shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form
and in substance to Company that such transfer is exempt from registration under
the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws. For purposes of this
Note, an Event of Default shall mean the failure of the Company to pay principal
and/or interest when due.

b. Legend. This Note is, and each certificate representing equity securities
issued pursuant to Section 1 above shall be, stamped or otherwise imprinted with
a legend substantially in the following form:

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities

reoffered, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of except pursuant
to (1) registration under such act or laws or (2) an exemption from registration
under such act or laws.”

4. Waiver or Amendment. Any term of this Note may be amended or waived with the
written consent of the Company and Holder. The failure of Holder to enforce at
any time any of the provisions of this Note shall not, absent an express written
waiver signed by Holder specifying the provision being waived, be construed to
be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this
Note or any part hereof or the right of Holder thereafter to enforce each and
every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Note shall be held to be a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach. This Note is intended for the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and
