convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock
(the "Common Stock") without restrictive legend of any nature, at a price ("Conversion Price")
for each share of Common Stock equal to 60% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock
as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which
the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the ten prior trading
days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered
by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the
Holder wishes to included the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice
of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the
Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Once the Holder has received such shares of
Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to
convert this Note or a specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank. Accrued but unpaid interest
shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but
the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

 

(b)Interest on any unpaid principal
balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest
Shares"). The Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula
provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest
calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon
exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing
provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other

faith.
