1.

Maturity.  This Note shall mature automatically and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all interest accrued under this Note, shall become due and payable on the date that is two (2) years from the date of issuance (“Maturity Date”), unless this Note, before such date, is converted into shares of capital stock of the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

2.

Payment of Principal and Interest.  Interest payments shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the date that is 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter.

Conversion of Note.

(a)

Conversion into Stock.  At the option of the Holder, at any time, the principal amount of this Note and any accrued interest may be converted into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at the Conversion Price (as defined herein).  The number of such shares of common stock that Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon such conversion shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of principal and interest under this Note being so converted by the Conversion Price (as defined herein).  Holder agrees to execute and deliver the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto.  Upon receipt by the Company of any such Notice of Conversion, the election to convert shall be irrevocable and the date the Notice of Conversion was executed by the Holder shall be the “Conversion Date”.

1

(b)

Conversion Price.  Subject to adjustment as provided below, the “Conversion Price” shall equal the lesser of: (i) $0.02 per share; or (ii) seventy percent (70%) of the “fair market value” of one share of the Company’s common stock.  For purposes of this Note, “fair market value” shall mean the average bid during the ten (10) trading days prior to the Conversion Date, if the Company common stock is listed on a national exchange or other quotation system.

(c)

Stock Certificates.  Upon conversion into common stock, the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder, or to Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of common stock to which Holder shall be entitled as a result of conversion as provided herein.  

(d)

Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

(i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Subsection 5(d), the following definitions shall apply:

(A) "Option" shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities, excluding rights or options granted to employees, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to an option plan adopted by the Board of Directors to acquire up to that number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to twenty  (20%) percent of the Common Stock outstanding (provided that, for purposes of this Subsection 5(d)(i)(A), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options granted or available for grant under plans approved by the Board of Directors shall be deemed to be outstanding.

(B) "Original Issue Date" shall mean the date on which the first Note is first issued.

(C) "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

(D) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(iii) below, deemed to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issue Date, and other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(1) as a dividend or distribution on all shares of Common Stock;

(2) by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock by the foregoing clause (1);

(3) upon the exercise of options excluded from the definition of "Option" in Subsection 5(d)(i)(A); or

(4) upon conversion of the Notes.

(F) "Rights to Acquire Common Stock" (or "Rights") shall mean all rights issued by the Company to acquire common stock whatever by exercise of a warrant, option or similar call or conversion of any existing instruments, in either case for consideration fixed, in amount or by formula, as of the date of issuance.

(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes shall be made, by adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price thereof: (a) unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(v)) below for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the issue of such additional shares, or (b) if prior to such issuance, the Company receives written notice from the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Notes (determined by principal amount) agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

2

(iii) Issue of Securities Deemed Additional Shares of Common Stock Issued. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or other Rights to Acquire Common Stock, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, provided that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(v) hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(A) No further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Rights or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(B) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or Right, the Conversion Price shall not be readjusted, but the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed issued as the result of the original issue of such Option or Right shall not be deemed issued for the purposes of any subsequent adjustment of the Conversion Price; and

(C) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Option, Right or Convertible Security, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment that was made upon the issuance of such Option, Right or Convertible Security not exercised or converted prior to such change been made upon the basis of such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of any such Option, Right or Convertible Security.

(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company shall at any time after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(iii), but excluding shares issued as a dividend or distribution as provided in Subsection 5(f) or upon a stock split or combination as provided in Subsection 5(e)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue to a price equal to the price at which such Additional Shares of Common Stock were issued and sold.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Conversion Price shall not be reduced if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $.005, but any such amount shall be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $.005 or more.

(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 5(d), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

(1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

3

(2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(B) Options, Rights and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(iii), relating to Options, Rights and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

(1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options, Rights or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

(2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(f) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, a dividend or other distribution payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction:

(i)

the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance, and

(ii)

the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(g) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Notes shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company that they would have received had their Notes been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period given application to all adjustments called for during such period, under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the holders of the Notes.

4

(h) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets for below), then and in each such event the holder of each Notes shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Notes might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

6.

No Rights as Stockholder.  This Note does not entitle Holder to voting rights or any other right as a shareholder of the Company before the conversion hereof.  

7.

Loss, Theft or Destruction of Note.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note and of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall make and deliver a new Note that shall carry the same rights to interest (unpaid and to accrue) carried by this Note, stating that such Note is issued in replacement of this Note, making reference to the original date of issuance of this Note (and any successor hereto) and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Note.

8.

Severability.  Every provision of this Note is intended to be severable.  If any term or provision hereof is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and enforceable.

9. 

Miscellaneous.

(a)

No Fractional Units or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Units shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which Holder otherwise would be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Conversion Price multiplied by such fraction. 

(b)

Issue Date.  The provisions of this Note shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respects as if this Note had been issued and delivered by the Company on the earlier of the date hereof or the date of issuance of any Note for which this Note is issued in replacement.  This Note shall be binding on any successor or assign of the Company.

(c)

Governing Law.   This Note shall constitute a contract under the laws of the State of Nevada and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

(d)

Compliance With Usury Laws.  The Company and Holder intend to comply with all applicable usury laws.  In fulfilling this intention, all agreements between the Company and Holder are expressly limited so that the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of money under this Note shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.

If for any reason payment of any amount required under this Note shall be prohibited by law, then the obligation shall be reduced to the maximum allowable by law.  If for any reason Holder receives as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, then the amount which would constitute excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of this Note and not to the payment of interest.  If any conflict arises between this provision and any provision of any other agreement between the Company and Holder, then this provision shall control.

(e)

Legal Representation.  Holder agrees and represents that such party has been represented by such party's own legal counsel with regard to all aspects of this Note, or if such party is acting without legal counsel, that such party has had adequate opportunity and has been encouraged to seek the advice of such party's own legal counsel prior to the execution of this Agreement.

5

(f)

Jurisdiction. 

Any action whatsoever brought upon or relating to this Note shall be instituted and prosecuted in the state courts located in Orange County, California, or the federal district court therefore, and each party waives the right to change the venue.  The parties hereto further consent to accept service of process in any such action or proceeding by certified mail, return receipt requested, 

(g)

Restrictions.  Holder acknowledges that all shares of common stock acquired upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to restrictions on resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

(h)

Assignment.  Subject to restrictions on resale imposed by state and federal securities laws, Holder may assign this Note or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, to any person or entity so long as such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including the representations and warranties of the purchasers therein). Effective upon any such assignment, the person or entity to whom such rights, interests and obligations are assigned shall have and exercise all of Holder’s rights, interests and obligations hereunder as if such person or entity were the original Holder of this Note.
