9% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Multimedia Platforms, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (hereinafter called "Borrower" or the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to Terry F. King, an individual with an address at 4901 Winding Lane, Indian Trial, North Carolina, 28079 or his permitted registered assigns or successors in interest or order (the "Holder"), without demand, the sum of$50,000 (the "Principal Amount"), with simple interest at the annual rate of nine percent (9%). The "Maturity Date" of this Note shall be the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof, subject to conversion and acceleration as provided in Section 2 or Section 3 hereof.
 
This 9% Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") has been executed and issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement for a bridge loan between the Borrower and the Holder and certain other Holders of Notes, dated of even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Holder acquired this Note and Common Stock Purchase Warrants. This Note is not secured and is convertible as provided herein. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The following terms shall apply to this Note: 
 
ARTICLE I
INTEREST
 
1.1. Interest Rate. The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. Interest shall accrue monthly commencing on the Issue Date until payment in full of the outstanding Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made. 
 
1.2. Default Interest Rate. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within the cure periods (if any) set forth in Article III, then, in addition to any remedies at law or in equity that may be available, commencing from the end of the applicable cure period the annual interest rate on this Note shall (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.7) be the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the highest rate permissible by law (the "Default Interest Rate") for such time as an Event of Default is not cured.

    ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
2.1. Holder's Voluntary Conversion Rights.
 
(a) For so long as this Note remains outstanding and not fully paid, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of Common Stock of the Borrower or its successor in interest (the "Conversion Shares"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II, at $0.30 per share of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") (as may be adjusted as provided herein, the "Conversion Price").The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.2. For the purposes of this Note "Common Stock Equivalents" means any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.
 
(b) If an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, but not increased to the price set forth in Section 2.6 below, but shall continue to be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3 below.
 
2.2. Mechanics of Holder's Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Common Stock the Holder shall give notice to the Borrower of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a "Notice of Conversion") pursuant to Section 4.2 which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount and accrued interest. Upon each conversion of the Principal Amount of this Note and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. No fractional Conversion Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. Instead of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Conversion Price then in effect. 
 
2.3. Adjustments to Conversion Price.
 
(a) The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2 shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price.    
	 
	2

	

	 


    (b) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
 
i. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
 
ii. Reclassification, etc. If the Company 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, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into 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.
 
iii. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the 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 by issuance 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 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 this Section 2.3, the Company 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.

    2.4 Issuance of Replacement Note. Upon any loss or destruction of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall be issued by the Company to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
 
2.5 Delivery of Conversion Shares; Liquidated Damages; Failure to Issue Conversion Shares.As soon as practicable upon the conversion of this Note, in whole or in part, and in any event no later than five (5) business days after the Company's receipt of the Notice of Conversion, the Company shall deliver to Holder (or in accordance with Holder's delivery instructions) certificates representing the Conversion Shares reflecting principal and interest so converted, in the name of Holder, which shall be transmitted by the Borrower's transfer agent to the Holder by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. During any failure to deliver shares, and for avoidance of doubt, the Note shall be deemed issued and duly held by the Holder and Holder shall be entitled to seek any enforcement or collection remedy on this Note as permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue and the Conversion Price shall continue to be adjustable downward provided in this Section 2. 
 
2.6 Holder's Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.6, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.6 applies, the determination of the extent to which this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.6, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company's transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then-outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days' prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.6 or waive it entirely, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.7 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.6 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The Holder may, at any time that the Borrower is not registered and required to file periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), waive all of the foregoing restrictions of this Section 2.6 by 3 days written notice.

    4.3 Amendment Provision. The term "Note" and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented or reissued, then as so amended or supplemented or reissued.
 
4.4 Assignees. This Note, and the conversion rights described herein, shall not be assignable by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the restrictions of the preceding sentence, the rights and obligations of the Borrower and the Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assign, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.
 
4.5 Cost of Collection. In the event that Holder is required to take legal or other action to enforce its rights or obtain collection under this Note, Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof reasonable costs of collection, or enforcement of the terms hereof, including attorneys' fees.
 
4.6 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including, but not limited to, New York statutes of limitations. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the State Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (or any federal courts having jurisdiction of such area). Both parties and the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other decision in favor of the Holder. 
 
4.7 Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.

Borrower hereby irrevocable consents to the reformation of this Note, as may be necessary by a court of law, so as to enable enforcement of this Note pursuant to summary judgment or summary proceeding. For avoidance of doubt, in the event that, for any reason, a finding by a court having jurisdiction over this Note is made that limits enforceability as a result of excessive interest or other origination or investment banking fees pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction, then, such defense shall not be deemed to bar a summary proceeding or summary judgment on the Note but rather, the Note shall be fully and absolutely enforceable as to all principal and, the court having jurisdiction shall, after an inquest, have power to reform the Note so as to reduce interest amount to such amount as is immediately enforceable pursuant to summary judgment or summary proceeding and grant such award, plus any legal or enforcement fees of Holder(s).

    4.8. Construction and Enforcement. Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Note and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Note to favor any party against the other. This Note reflects an investment made by Holder or its assignor to the Borrower. This Note is intended as, and shall be deemed an unconditional obligation of Borrower for the payment of money only and, without limitation to any other remedies of Holder (such as, without limitation, summary judgment after initiation of a proceeding, or equitable remedies), shall be enforceable against Borrower by summary proceeding in lieu of or after filing of a complaint, pursuant to New York Civil Procedure Law Rule 3213, or any similar rule or statute in the jurisdiction where enforcement is sought. For purposes of such rule or statute, any other document or agreement to which Holder and Borrower are parties or which Borrower delivered to Holder, which may be convenient or necessary to determine Holder's rights hereunder or Borrower's obligations to Holder are deemed a part of this Note, whether or not such other document or agreement was delivered together herewith or was executed apart from this Note.
 
4.9 Redemption. This Note may be prepaid by the Borrower, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Holder.
 
4.10 Shareholder Status. The Holder shall not have rights as a shareholder of the Borrower with respect to unconverted portions of this Note. However, the Holder will have the rights of a shareholder of the Borrower with respect to the Shares of Common Stock to be received after delivery by the Holder of a Conversion Notice to the Borrower.
 
4.11Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment or any action to be made shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, such payment may be due or action shall be required on the next succeeding business day and, for such payment, such next succeeding day shall be included in the calculation of the amount of accrued interest payable on such date.
