FOR VALUE RECEIVED, VENTA INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to Nikolay V Frolov, 8215 Ranchview Dr # 3014, Irving TX 75063 (the "Holder") the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00), with interest accruing thereon, on April 21, 2012 (the "Maturity Date"), if not retired sooner.


 


The following terms shall apply to this Note:


ARTICLE I


 


GENERAL PROVISIONS







 


1.1    Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on this Note at the rate of ten (10%) per annum based on 365 day calendar year. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within thirty (30) days, otherwise then from the first date of such occurrence, the annual interest rate on this Note shall (subject to Section 4.7) be fifteen percent (15%) and calculated on a 365 day year.


 


1.2    Maturity Date. Subject to the right of the Holder with respect to its conversion rights hereunder, all principal with interest accruing thereon is otherwise due on April 21, 2012 (the "Maturity Date"); provided however, that should the Borrower close a subsequent financing transaction of either debt or equity in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 prior to the Maturity Date, then this Note shall become due and payable in full at such closing of the subsequent financing, inclusive of all interest.


    


1.3    Conversion Privileges. The Conversion Privileges set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Article III hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the subsequent cure of the Event of Default. The Note shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article II hereof.

ARTICLE II


 


CONVERSION RIGHTS


 


2.1    Holder's Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 2,2, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation at any time from the date of issuance of this Note, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, into shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article lI at lower forty percent (40%) discount to the market price of the Borrower's Common Stock or $0.015 per share . The "market price" shall be determined at the average of the closing bid of the Company's Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant hereto.


 


A.            Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.


 


B.            Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.


 


C.            Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.,


 


D.            Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.


 


2.2     Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

(d)             Compliance with Securities Act. The Holder understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Holder contained herein), and that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, such Holder may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Securities to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an "accredited investor" under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
