PROMISSORY NOTE

 

US $100,000.00 March 25, 2011

 

For value received, VIRAL GENETICS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to the order of DMBM, Inc. (the "Holder"), the principal sum of One Hundred thousand ($100,000.00), and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note"), all as provided for in this Note.

 

1. Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable in its entirety one (1) year from the date hereof (the "Maturity Date").

 

2. Advances. This Note represents two (2) advances of $50,000 to the Company, the first of which is being made concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Note.

 

3. Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a year comprised of 12 months of 30 days) from the date of each Advance made by the Holder to which this Note relates. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the Maturity Date.

 

4. Payments Generally. All amounts payable by the Company shall be paid in legal tender of the United States of America and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account specified by the Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event may any amount paid by the Company exceed the maximum amount of interest under applicable law. Payment of this Note also may be made by the issuance shares of the Company's common stock at value and a conversion rate of $0.02 per share (the "Conversion Rate"). Notwithstanding anything set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Conversion Rate shall be lowered to the lowest price per share at which the Company issues common stock (including, without limitation, by means of the conversion of any security or the issuance of shares under any warrant) as long as this Note is outstanding. If this Note is paid in shares of the Company's common stock all interest is waived. This Note may not be prepaid by the Company prior to the Maturity Date.

 

5. Conversion. All or any portion of the Principal amount of this note, together with accrued interest thereon, may be converted at the option of the Holder at any time and from time to time, in the minimum principal amount of $5,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter, upon not less than two (2) three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) from the Holder and payment in full of the Conversion Price as then in effect. Each "Conversion Notice" shall mean a written notice from the Holder informing the Company of the date of the conversion, the principal amount of this note being converted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon conversion and confirming that the Conversion Price will be paid in cash. The Conversion Price shall be paid by certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company in writing. Within three (3) Business Days after payment of the Conversion Price, the Company will deliver a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion to the Holder, or at the Holder's request, to a brokerage account for the benefit of Holder. The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the conversion feature of this note. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all or a portion of this note shall be equal to the Principal amount of this note being converted divided by the Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, any partial conversion of this note, each Loan shall be considered separate and distinct indebtedness of the Company to the Holder for purposes of determining the holding period of each item of indebtedness represented by the Loan. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert this note for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion.
