Let's rock and roll kidz!!!
News about boat shows and sales are meaningless at this point if the buyout goes through. Honda teaming up with LTDI as part of the buyout is hush, hush due to a gag order. If the buyout goes through that should be enough news to get this baby flying again. News can come out at any time during the day. Just because news isn't released before the bell doesn't mean there will be none for the day. Buyout news can be released at 3:30pm and this would fly for the remainder of the day and pop big the next morning as well.
Funny stuff, not green but close!
Watch for the gap up to a green close! Just my opinion having watched this for awhile. They have held it back at eod but let her run yesterday.
I know many here don't believe the charts but there is a bullish uptrend developing.
Seems to me that they walked this baby down for somebody to purchase shares. They finally let her run again late day. All this IMO means that JOE BLACK will be showing up soon, a PR to follow and a little run. Could get interesting.
Here is the tail end of the email. 2 years ago the stock was trading between 5 and 10 cents, 3 years ago I remember it touching 25 cents.
I totally disagree with you, and your allegations are unjustifiable; most likely after the buyout is done, shareholders will recoup the significantly even more than the levels of 3 years ago. Please be patient, I wont be to worry about the price of the current stock anyways, what you have in your portfolio is the most important for the dividend.
Regards
Rafael Pinedo
CEO President
FWIW: I received an email from Raphael answering some of the questions I had. The most interesting is that he truly believes that when all is said and done that the PPS will be at or higher than 2-3 years ago. We shall see!
You gotta love this guy. He has a strong business model, a solid business plan and a great management philosophy.
"I have the fullest desire to demolish and redevelop the Westmoreland site; however I will not compromise the value of the property or its redevelopment value for a quick gain. The dismantling and salvage sale will be done in the best interest of the shareholders and the company," said Adam Marek, President.
GM all, let's take out the 3's today.
Nice volume and action today, they gonna let her run soon.
Sweet news folks. KD wipe that egg off your face.
Sell your shares KD, the company is only 1 month old and will run soon. Patience is everything in pink land and it's obvious you have none. Go trade the big board.
Perhaps the Canadian Shopping club just loosened their purse strings!
By the way Earl, you will get no answers from Eddie, he is a melting ice cube. Email Ralph directly at rpinedo@bpetroleum.com, he will answer you rather quickly.
It was probably Eddie that you spoke with telling you he would be in at 9:15am. Usually does that when he is in hiding. Did he sound slow and lispy? When you call Eddie and somebody answers you have to say "Hey Eddie what's up". If you ask for him by name he will say he is not there.
Unfortunately I can not give up the shares in which you search at the present time, however, we welcome you and your investment group to buy up as many of the 2's and 3's you can get your hands on. Selling at a much higher premium will allow you to buy all the clothes or clothes stores you want GLTA.
Albeit they took the wind out of our sails. Next news perhaps we fly.
Could also be a sign that the MM's are done accumulating and will let her run soon.
Beacon PA recognizes the historical impact of the former Westmoreland Glass Company factory and is investigating the feasibility of creating a commemorative brick to collectors with a notarized certificate of authenticity.
I am sure he is investigating if this is logistically possible. If he can set up some sort of distribution network this could be another large revenue generator.
Hospitals, schools, parks etc. have fund raising commemorative bricks engraved with the names of loved ones. These bricks are purchased from 100, 500 and even 1,000 a pop. If Adam can set up a program where he donates the bricks to these organizations and somehow split the profit it can be huge. However, I don't think he wants to have these bricks engraved and laid at a hospital walkway. These bricks will come with a letter of authenticity which still has a huge market with collectors.
He should send out a notice to all shareholders and request the appropriate amount from each shareholder to raise the $3,000 for the pink sheets if he doesn't want to use current company funds. Yea, it's that important.
I like the fact that even saving the 3G is important to him. Another fund raising idea is to go ahead with his plan to sell the commemorative historic bricks to shareholders, I will be the first to purchase one. I already have a historic brick proudly displayed on my bookshelf from a local landmark that was recently renovated. I did some research on commemorative bricks and found collectors are willing to pay big bucks.
Sorry, forgot the 90 mil day earlier this week. After that it died.
Smart day traders do not touch stocks unless the volume spikes with the news. The volume here does not indicate day traders flipping this stock. Could be MM games.
BINGO!
MM's will smack that 2 before close.
PGPM power hour underway. Should be a battle but I see a green close.
10-4, I stand corrected. For some reason I was thinking about a share buyback or exchange.
I think you are off, way off. If you had 1 mil shares @ .0012 you would have $1,200. If you had 1 mil shares and received 1 for every thousand you would have 1,000 shares. If IMVS opens at .30 your $1,200 would be worth $300. We are trying to make money not give it back. Correct me if I am wrong here?
Excellent question, never saw anything like it!
MM's still signaling they need shares!

LTDI could be a runner, keep it on the radar
I think she's going to run, just don't know how far and how fast. Believe me, when the PR is out and available the flippers will come in and digest as much info as possible. If a quick buck is to be made they will buy and spread the word to others on daytrading forums. The flippers will run in but you have to ask yourself, "What is my exit price". It's all about patience and timing.
PGPM Pilgrim Petroleum 8-K reverse aquisition to OTCBB could be a runner today.

relating to the Company as Seller reasonably requested. Each of the Parties will
treat, and will cause its representatives to treat, all information that they
received in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, if not in the
public domain, as confidential.
4.7 Indemnification by the Seller. From and after the Closing Date, the
Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from and against
any Losses incurred or suffered as a result of or arising from:
(a) any breach of the representations or warranties of the Seller

(b) the breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of

Directors and Officers for any actions that arise from actions that
happened prior to the new Directors and Officers taking their

<PAGE>
4.8 Indemnification by the Company. From and after the Closing Date,
the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from and
against any Losses incurred or suffered as a result of or arising from:
(a) any breach in any representation or warranty of the Company
set forth in Article 2; or
(b) the breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of
the Company set forth in this Agreement.
4.9 Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be
responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is
referred to herein as the "Indemnifying Party" and the other party or parties
claiming indemnity is referred to as the "Indemnified Party".
(i) An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with
respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give
written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might
give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within thirty
(30) calendar days of the receipt of any written claim from any such
third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any
answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters
for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt
written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might
give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure
to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party
except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are
materially prejudiced.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its
election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by
giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or
notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party
makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through
counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party's approval of
such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall
be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be
bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice
to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement
involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on
the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of
the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting
any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle
such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not
be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the
Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any
<PAGE>
proceeding include both parties and representation of both parties by
the same counsel would be inappropriate. If the Indemnifying Party does
not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the
reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to
defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice
to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in
its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense
or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with
respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party
will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified
Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim.
(iii) The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third
party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation
and such access to its books, records and properties as the
Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter
for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto
agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and
adequate defense thereof.
(iv) With regard to claims of third parties for which
indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be
paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the
entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of
any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the
date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment;
(ii) the entry of an unappeasable judgment or final appellate decision
against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is no dispute as to
the applicability of indemnification, the reasonable expenses of
counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis
by the Indemnifying Party if such expenses are a liability of the
Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which
indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be
paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified
Party.

personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all

invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefore, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

Lariat Note
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD,
OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER SUCH STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE SUCH REGISTRATION OR
QUALIFICATION.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$7,000,000.00 Dallas, Texas July ___, 2008
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Implantable Vision, Inc., a Utah
corporation, and its successors and assigns ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the
order of Lariat Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its successors and
permitted assigns ("Holder"), the principal sum of Seven Million Dollars
($7,000,000.00), together with simple interest from the date of advancement on
the principal balance hereof from time to time remaining unpaid at an interest
rate equal to the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal Online
plus one percent (1%) per annum, determined on the date of this Convertible
Promissory Note (the "Note"), and adjusted on each anniversary until maturity
(subject to Section 2 of this Note), both principal and interest being payable
at the address designated in Section 12, or at such other place as Holder may
from time to time designate in writing.
The principal of this Note shall mature and be due and payable on July
__, 2010. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately
on maturity.
All past due principal and accrued interest on this Note shall bear
interest from maturity (whether on demand, upon acceleration of maturity
following an Event of Default (as defined below) or otherwise) until paid at the
lesser of (i) the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the highest
rate for which Borrower may legally contract under applicable law. All payments
hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America which
shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payments.
1. Conversion.
----------
(a) Conversion Option. This Note shall be convertible at the
option of Holder hereof (the "Optional Conversion"), in whole or in part, in
lieu of and in satisfaction of the unpaid principal hereunder, into that number
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 2)
as is equal to the quotient of the unpaid principal divided by the applicable
Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2). Upon any Optional Conversion, the
outstanding principal due under this Note shall be reduced in full by an amount
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion
multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.
(b) Conversion Procedures. If Holder is entitled to and
desires to convert this Note into Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note to
Borrower at its principal executive offices, accompanied by proper instruments
of transfer to Borrower or in blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice
to Borrower that Holder elects so to convert this Note and the name or names
(with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be
issued. Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such written notice and
compliance with any other conditions herein contained, deliver at such office to
Holder, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which it
shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the
date of such surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to
receive Common Stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders thereof on such date.
<PAGE>
(c) Certain Adjustments. The applicable Conversion
Price and the number of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In case Borrower shall at any time after the date
hereof (1) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock
that is paid or made in shares of stock of Borrower, (2) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior thereto and the securities issuable
shall be adjusted retroactively as provided below so that Holder
thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock of Borrower and other shares and rights to purchase stock or
other securities which Holder would have owned or have been entitled to
receive after the happening of any of the events described above had
this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such
event or any record date with respect thereto. In the event of the
redemption of any shares referred to in clause (1), Holder shall have
the right to receive, in lieu of any such shares or rights, any cash,
property or securities paid in respect of such redemption. An
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective
immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(ii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as
provided above, Borrower shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in
accordance herewith and mail to Holder a notice stating that the
Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Price.
(iii) In the event that at any time, as a result of
any adjustment made pursuant to this Section, Holder shall become
entitled to receive any shares of Borrower other than shares of Common
Stock or to receive any other securities, the number of such other
shares or securities so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained in these
provisions with respect to Common Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of this Note. All calculations of the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon conversion of this Note shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.
In case of any reclassification of Common Stock, any consolidation of Borrower
with, or merger of Borrower into, any other person, any merger of another person
into Borrower (other than a merger which does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of
Common Stock of Borrower), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of Borrower or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share
exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other
property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such
transaction whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period
this Note shall be convertible hereunder, to convert this Note only into the
kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower into which this Note
might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming such holder of
Common Stock of Borrower (i) is not a person with which Borrower consolidated or
into which Borrower merged or which merged into Borrower, to which such sale or
transfer was made or a party to such share exchange, as the case may be
("constituent person"), or an affiliate of a constituent person and (ii) failed
to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (provided that if the
kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is not
the same for each share of Common Stock of Borrower held immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent person
or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall
not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by each non-electing
share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a
plurality of the non-electing shares). Borrower, the person formed by such
consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets or
which acquires Borrower's shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in
its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to
establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other
constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent
to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other
constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for herein. The above provisions shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share
exchanges.
<PAGE>
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Borrower shall
at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued
stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such
number of shares of its Common Stock and other securities free of preemptive
rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this
Note. Borrower shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State
of Utah, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time
the number of shares of Common Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to
permit the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall pay any and all issue or
other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock or other securities upon conversion of this Note by Holder.
2. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, the following terms
have the respective meanings set forth below:
(a) "Common Stock" shall mean the common stock of Borrower and
any capital stock into which such common stock shall have been changed and any
other stock resulting from any reclassification of such stock which is not
preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock which shall be
in effect from time to time.
(b) "Conversion Price" shall mean, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 1(c) hereof, $3.08.
3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
principal and any interest outstanding under this Note in full or in part at
any time and from time to time. Any prepayment shall be applied first
against any accrued interest and then against principal.
4. Default Remedies.
(a) Borrower shall be in default under this Note upon the
happening of any condition or event set forth below (each, an "Event of
Default"):
(i) Borrower shall fail to pay the principal and interest
due on this Note on the date which the same becomes due
and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and
Borrower fails to make such payment within twenty (20)
days of the date which Borrower receives written notice
from the Holder that any such payment has not been
received by Holder;
(ii) default by Borrower in the punctual performance of any
other obligation, covenant, term or provision contained
in this Note, and such default shall continue
unremedied for a period of ten (10) days or more
following written notice of default by Holder to
Borrower;
(iii)The commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower
which results in the entry of an order for relief which
remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a
period of 60 days or more.
(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all
accrued interest thereon shall immediately be due and payable at the
option of the holder hereof upon the occurrence of any one or more of
the Events of Default and at any time thereafter.
5. Cumulative Rights. No delay on the part of the holder of this Note
in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other
instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
<PAGE>
6. Waiver. Borrower waives demand, presentment, protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of
acceleration (other than notices of default required pursuant to Sections
4(a)(i) and (ii)), notice of protest and any and all lack of diligence or delay
in collection or the filing of suit hereon which may occur, and agree to all
extensions and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to
the holder hereof.
7. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In the event that this Note is collected
in whole or in part through suit, arbitration, mediation, or other legal
proceeding of any nature, then and in any such case there shall be added to the
unpaid principal amount hereof all reasonable costs and expenses of collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees.
8. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect
to conflicts of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any
other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.
9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Note are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof.
10. Usury. All agreements between Borrower and the holder of this Note,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid,
or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention
of the money to be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever
fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing,
securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of
validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such
circumstances the holder of this Note shall ever receive anything of value as
interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other
document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby
or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount
that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness
of Borrower to the holder hereof relating to this Note, and not to the payment
of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be
refunded to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable
with respect to any indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof, under any
specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and the holder
hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a)
characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than
as interest, (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of
interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate
of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term
thereof, and/or (c) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to
the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that
permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and
supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between Borrower
and the holder hereof.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Note may not be sold, transferred
or otherwise assigned by Holder without the prior written consent of Borrower.
Borrower's obligations under this Note may not be transferred or otherwise
assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder.
12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.
13. Notices. All notices of communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by (a) depositing the same in
United States mail, addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid and
registered or certified with return receipt request, (b) delivering the same in
person or by overnight express to an officer or agent of such party or, (c)

THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD,
OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER SUCH STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE SUCH REGISTRATION OR
QUALIFICATION.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$3,000,000.00 Dallas, Texas July ___, 2008
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Implantable Vision, Inc., a Utah
corporation, and its successors and assigns ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the
order of American Petroleum Corporation, a Texas corporation,, and its
successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the principal sum of Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000.00), together with simple interest from the date of
advancement on the principal balance hereof from time to time remaining unpaid
at an interest rate equal to the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal Online plus one percent (1%) per annum, determined on the date of this
Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), and adjusted on each anniversary until
maturity (subject to Section 2 of this Note), both principal and interest being
payable at the address designated in Section 12, or at such other place as
Holder may from time to time designate in writing.
The principal of this Note shall mature and be due and payable on July
__, 2010. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately
on maturity.
All past due principal and accrued interest on this Note shall bear
interest from maturity (whether on demand, upon acceleration of maturity
following an Event of Default (as defined below) or otherwise) until paid at the
lesser of (i) the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the highest
rate for which Borrower may legally contract under applicable law. All payments
hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America which
shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payments.
2. Conversion.
(a) Conversion Option. This Note shall be convertible at the
option of Holder hereof (the "Optional Conversion"), in whole or in part, in
lieu of and in satisfaction of the unpaid principal hereunder, into that number
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 2)
as is equal to the quotient of the unpaid principal divided by the applicable
Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2). Upon any Optional Conversion, the
outstanding principal due under this Note shall be reduced in full by an amount
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion
multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.
(b) Conversion Procedures. If Holder is entitled to and
desires to convert this Note into Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note to
Borrower at its principal executive offices, accompanied by proper instruments
of transfer to Borrower or in blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice
to Borrower that Holder elects so to convert this Note and the name or names
(with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be
issued. Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such written notice and
compliance with any other conditions herein contained, deliver at such office to
Holder, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which it
shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the
date of such surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to
receive Common Stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders thereof on such date.
<PAGE>
(c) Certain Adjustments. The applicable Conversion Price and the number of
securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:
(i) In case Borrower shall at any time after the date
hereof (1) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock
that is paid or made in shares of stock of Borrower, (2) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior thereto and the securities issuable
shall be adjusted retroactively as provided below so that Holder
thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock of Borrower and other shares and rights to purchase stock or
other securities which Holder would have owned or have been entitled to
receive after the happening of any of the events described above had
this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such
event or any record date with respect thereto. In the event of the
redemption of any shares referred to in clause (1), Holder shall have
the right to receive, in lieu of any such shares or rights, any cash,
property or securities paid in respect of such redemption. An
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective
immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(ii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as
provided above, Borrower shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in
accordance herewith and mail to Holder a notice stating that the
Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Price.
(iii) In the event that at any time, as a result of
any adjustment made pursuant to this Section, Holder shall become
entitled to receive any shares of Borrower other than shares of Common
Stock or to receive any other securities, the number of such other
shares or securities so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained in these
provisions with respect to Common Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of this Note. All calculations of the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon conversion of this Note shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.
In case of any reclassification of Common Stock, any consolidation of Borrower
with, or merger of Borrower into, any other person, any merger of another person
into Borrower (other than a merger which does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of
Common Stock of Borrower), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of Borrower or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share
exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other
property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such
transaction whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period
this Note shall be convertible hereunder, to convert this Note only into the
kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower into which this Note
might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming such holder of
Common Stock of Borrower (i) is not a person with which Borrower consolidated or
into which Borrower merged or which merged into Borrower, to which such sale or
transfer was made or a party to such share exchange, as the case may be
("constituent person"), or an affiliate of a constituent person and (ii) failed
to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (provided that if the
kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is not
the same for each share of Common Stock of Borrower held immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent person
or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall
not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by each non-electing
share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a
plurality of the non-electing shares). Borrower, the person formed by such
consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets or
which acquires Borrower's shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in
its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to
establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other
constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent
to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other
constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for herein. The above provisions shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share
exchanges.
<PAGE>
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Borrower shall
at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued
stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such
number of shares of its Common Stock and other securities free of preemptive
rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this
Note. Borrower shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State
of Utah, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time
the number of shares of Common Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to
permit the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall pay any and all issue or
other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock or other securities upon conversion of this Note by Holder.
2. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, the following terms have the
respective meanings set forth below:
(a) "Common Stock" shall mean the common stock of Borrower and
any capital stock into which such common stock shall have been changed and any
other stock resulting from any reclassification of such stock which is not
preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock which shall be
in effect from time to time.
(b) "Conversion Price" shall mean, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 1(c) hereof, $3.08.
3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
principal and any interest outstanding under this Note in full or in part at
any time and from time to time. Any prepayment shall be applied first

(a) Borrower shall be in default under this Note upon the
happening of any condition or event set forth below (each, an "Event of
Default"):
(iv) Borrower shall fail to pay the principal and interest
due on this Note on the date which the same becomes due
and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and
Borrower fails to make such payment within twenty (20)
days of the date which Borrower receives written notice
from the Holder that any such payment has not been
received by Holder;
(v) default by Borrower in the punctual performance of any
other obligation, covenant, term or provision contained
in this Note, and such default shall continue
unremedied for a period of ten (10) days or more
following written notice of default by Holder to
Borrower;
(vi) The commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy
or insolvency laws by or against Borrower which results
in the entry of an order for relief which remains
undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of
60 days or more.
(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all
accrued interest thereon shall immediately be due and payable at the

5. Cumulative Rights. No delay on the part of the holder of this Note
in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other
instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

in collection or the filing of suit hereon which may occur, and agree to all
extensions and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to

unpaid principal amount hereof all reasonable costs and expenses of collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees.
8. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect
to conflicts of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any

9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Note are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof.
10. Usury. All agreements between Borrower and the holder of this Note,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid,
or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention
of the money to be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever
fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing,
securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of
validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such
circumstances the holder of this Note shall ever receive anything of value as
interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other
document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby
or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount
that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness
of Borrower to the holder hereof relating to this Note, and not to the payment
of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be
refunded to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable
with respect to any indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof, under any
specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and the holder
hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a)
characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than
as interest, (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of
interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate
of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term
thereof, and/or (c) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to
the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that
permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and
supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between Borrower
and the holder hereof.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Note may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise assigned by Holder without the prior written consent
of Borrower. Borrower's obligations under this Note may not be transferred or
otherwise assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder.
12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.

SECTION 1- REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 10, 2008 Implantable Vision, Inc.

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company purchased certain oil and gas leases from the Sellers for an aggregate of 41,753,247 shares (the "Acquisition Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value ("Common Stock"), a Convertible Promissory Note payable to Lariat in the principal amount of $7,000,000, and a Convertible Promissory Note payable to American in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (collectively, the "Convertible Notes"). 29,227,273 of the Acquisition Shares were issued to Lariat and 12,525,974 of the Acquisition Shares were issued to American. The Acquisition Shares in the aggregate represent a controlling interest in the Company (approximately 55.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the transaction). The Acquisition Agreement transaction is referred to herein as the "Reverse Acquisition."
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, all officers and directors of the Company in office immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) delivered written resignations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Rafael Pinedo and Bryan Bulloch were appointed to serve as directors of the Company (replacing Richard C. Weiner and Stanford W. Slifer who resigned effective as of July 2, 2008 and July 9, 2008, respectively) effective upon Closing. Mr. Pinedo was also appointed as the Chairman of the Board. The Acquisition Agreement further provides that three (3) successor directors shall be appointed to the Board of Directors effective upon the conclusion of the 10-day Period, namely, Carlo Ugolini, Kevin L.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company desires to purchase certain resource property assets of the Seller and the Seller desires to sell such assets to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

This report reflected a Net Present Value of Future Net Revenues (10% discount rate) of $52,050,000 at the time of the report.

4.9 Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the "Indemnifying Party" and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the "Indemnified Party".
(i) An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within thirty
(30) calendar days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party's approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any
proceeding include both parties and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim.
(iii) The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.
(iv) With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment;
(ii) the entry of an unappeasable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is no dispute as to the applicability of indemnification, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party if such expenses are a liability of the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

Lariat Note
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$7,000,000.00 Dallas, Texas July ___, 2008
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Implantable Vision, Inc., a Utah corporation, and its successors and assigns ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Lariat Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the principal sum of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00), together with simple interest from the date of advancement on the principal balance hereof from time to time remaining unpaid at an interest rate equal to the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal Online plus one percent (1%) per annum, determined on the date of this Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), and adjusted on each anniversary until maturity (subject to Section 2 of this Note), both principal and interest being payable at the address designated in Section 12, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing.
The principal of this Note shall mature and be due and payable on July __, 2010. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately on maturity.
All past due principal and accrued interest on this Note shall bear interest from maturity (whether on demand, upon acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default (as defined below) or otherwise) until paid at the lesser of (i) the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate for which Borrower may legally contract under applicable law. All payments hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payments.
1. Conversion.
(a) Conversion Option. This Note shall be convertible at the option of Holder hereof (the "Optional Conversion"), in whole or in part, in lieu of and in satisfaction of the unpaid principal hereunder, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 2) as is equal to the quotient of the unpaid principal divided by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2). Upon any Optional Conversion, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall be reduced in full by an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.
(b) Conversion Procedures. If Holder is entitled to and desires to convert this Note into Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note to Borrower at its principal executive offices, accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to Borrower or in blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice to Borrower that Holder elects so to convert this Note and the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued. Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such written notice and compliance with any other conditions herein contained, deliver at such office to Holder, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive Common Stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders thereof on such date.
(c) Certain Adjustments. The applicable Conversion Price and the number of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In case Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof (1) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock that is paid or made in shares of stock of Borrower, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto and the securities issuable shall be adjusted retroactively as provided below so that Holder thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower and other shares and rights to purchase stock or other securities which Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. In the event of the redemption of any shares referred to in clause (1), Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of any such shares or rights, any cash, property or securities paid in respect of such redemption. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(ii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided above, Borrower shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance herewith and mail to Holder a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.
(iii) In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section, Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares of Borrower other than shares of Common Stock or to receive any other securities, the number of such other shares or securities so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained in these provisions with respect to Common Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. All calculations of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of this Note shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In case of any reclassification of Common Stock, any consolidation of Borrower with, or merger of Borrower into, any other person, any merger of another person into Borrower (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of Borrower), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible hereunder, to convert this Note only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming such holder of Common Stock of Borrower (i) is not a person with which Borrower consolidated or into which Borrower merged or which merged into Borrower, to which such sale or transfer was made or a party to such share exchange, as the case may be ("constituent person"), or an affiliate of a constituent person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is not the same for each share of Common Stock of Borrower held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent person or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Borrower, the person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires Borrower's shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of shares of its Common Stock and other securities free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities upon conversion of this Note by Holder.
2. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:
(a) "Common Stock" shall mean the common stock of Borrower and any capital stock into which such common stock shall have been changed and any other stock resulting from any reclassification of such stock which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock which shall be in effect from time to time.
(b) "Conversion Price" shall mean, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1(c) hereof, $3.08.
3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal and any interest outstanding under this Note in full or in part at any time and from time to time. Any prepayment shall be applied first against any accrued interest and then against principal.
4. Default Remedies.
(a) Borrower shall be in default under this Note upon the happening of any condition or event set forth below (each, an "Event of Default"):
(i) Borrower shall fail to pay the principal and interest due on this Note on the date which the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and Borrower fails to make such payment within twenty (20) days of the date which Borrower receives written notice from the Holder that any such payment has not been received by Holder;
(ii) default by Borrower in the punctual performance of any other obligation, covenant, term or provision contained in this Note, and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10) days or more following written notice of default by Holder to Borrower;
(iii)The commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower which results in the entry of an order for relief which remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days or more.
(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued interest thereon shall immediately be due and payable at the option of the holder hereof upon the occurrence of any one or more of the Events of Default and at any time thereafter.
5. Cumulative Rights. No delay on the part of the holder of this Note in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
6. Waiver. Borrower waives demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of acceleration (other than notices of default required pursuant to Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii)), notice of protest and any and all lack of diligence or delay in collection or the filing of suit hereon which may occur, and agree to all extensions and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to the holder hereof.
7. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In the event that this Note is collected in whole or in part through suit, arbitration, mediation, or other legal proceeding of any nature, then and in any such case there shall be added to the unpaid principal amount hereof all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees.
8. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to conflicts of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.
9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Note are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
10. Usury. All agreements between Borrower and the holder of this Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the holder of this Note shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof relating to this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and the holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof, and/or (c) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between Borrower and the holder hereof.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Note may not be sold, transferred or otherwise assigned by Holder without the prior written consent of Borrower. Borrower's obligations under this Note may not be transferred or otherwise assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder.
12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
13. Notices. All notices of communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by (a) depositing the same in United States mail, addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid and registered or certified with return receipt request, (b) delivering the same in person or by overnight express to an officer or agent of such party or, (c) telecopying the same with electronic confirmation of receipt:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Implantable Vision, Inc., a Utah corporation, and its successors and assigns ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of American Petroleum Corporation, a Texas corporation,, and its successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the principal sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), together with simple interest from the date of advancement on the principal balance hereof from time to time remaining unpaid at an interest rate equal to the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal Online plus one percent (1%) per annum, determined on the date of this Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), and adjusted on each anniversary until maturity (subject to Section 2 of this Note), both principal and interest being payable at the address designated in Section 12, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing.
The principal of this Note shall mature and be due and payable on July __, 2010. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately on maturity.
All past due principal and accrued interest on this Note shall bear interest from maturity (whether on demand, upon acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default (as defined below) or otherwise) until paid at the lesser of (i) the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate for which Borrower may legally contract under applicable law. All payments hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payments.
2. Conversion.
(a) Conversion Option. This Note shall be convertible at the option of Holder hereof (the "Optional Conversion"), in whole or in part, in lieu of and in satisfaction of the unpaid principal hereunder, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 2) as is equal to the quotient of the unpaid principal divided by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2). Upon any Optional Conversion, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall be reduced in full by an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.
(b) Conversion Procedures. If Holder is entitled to and desires to convert this Note into Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note to Borrower at its principal executive offices, accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to Borrower or in blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice to Borrower that Holder elects so to convert this Note and the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued. Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such written notice and compliance with any other conditions herein contained, deliver at such office to Holder, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive Common Stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders thereof on such date.
(c) Certain Adjustments. The applicable Conversion Price and the number of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In case Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof (1) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock that is paid or made in shares of stock of Borrower, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto and the securities issuable shall be adjusted retroactively as provided below so that Holder thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower and other shares and rights to purchase stock or other securities which Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. In the event of the redemption of any shares referred to in clause (1), Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of any such shares or rights, any cash, property or securities paid in respect of such redemption. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(ii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided above, Borrower shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance herewith and mail to Holder a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.
(iii) In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section, Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares of Borrower other than shares of Common Stock or to receive any other securities, the number of such other shares or securities so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained in these provisions with respect to Common Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. All calculations of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of this Note shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In case of any reclassification of Common Stock, any consolidation of Borrower with, or merger of Borrower into, any other person, any merger of another person into Borrower (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of Borrower), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible hereunder, to convert this Note only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming such holder of Common Stock of Borrower (i) is not a person with which Borrower consolidated or into which Borrower merged or which merged into Borrower, to which such sale or transfer was made or a party to such share exchange, as the case may be ("constituent person"), or an affiliate of a constituent person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is not the same for each share of Common Stock of Borrower held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent person or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Borrower, the person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires Borrower's shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of shares of its Common Stock and other securities free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities upon conversion of this Note by Holder.
2. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:

(b) "Conversion Price" shall mean, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1(c) hereof, $3.08.
3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal and any interest outstanding under this Note in full or in part at any time and from time to time. Any prepayment shall be applied first against any accrued interest and then against principal.
4. Default Remedies.
(a) Borrower shall be in default under this Note upon the happening of any condition or event set forth below (each, an "Event of Default"):
(iv) Borrower shall fail to pay the principal and interest due on this Note on the date which the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and Borrower fails to make such payment within twenty (20) days of the date which Borrower receives written notice from the Holder that any such payment has not been received by Holder;
(v) default by Borrower in the punctual performance of any other obligation, covenant, term or provision contained in this Note, and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10) days or more following written notice of default by Holder to Borrower;
(vi) The commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower which results in the entry of an order for relief which remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days or more.
(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued interest thereon shall immediately be due and payable at the option of the holder hereof upon the occurrence of any one or more of the Events of Default and at any time thereafter.
5. Cumulative Rights.

7. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In the event that this Note is collected in whole or in part through suit, arbitration, mediation, or other legal proceeding of any nature, then and in any such case there shall be added to the unpaid principal amount hereof all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees.
8. Governing Law.

9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Note are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
10. Usury. All agreements between Borrower and the holder of this Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the holder of this Note shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof relating to this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and the holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof, and/or (c) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between Borrower and the holder hereof.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Note may not be sold, transferred or otherwise assigned by Holder without the prior written consent of Borrower. Borrower's obligations under this Note may not be transferred or otherwise assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$7,000,000.00 Dallas, Texas July 10, 2008
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Implantable Vision, Inc., a Utah corporation, and its successors and assigns ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Lariat Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the principal sum of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00), together with simple interest from the date of advancement on the principal balance hereof from time to time remaining unpaid at an interest rate equal to the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal Online plus one percent (1%) per annum, determined on the date of this Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), and adjusted on each anniversary until maturity (subject to Section 2 of this Note), both principal and interest being payable at the address designated in Section 12, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing.
The principal of this Note shall mature and be due and payable on July 10, 2010. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately on maturity.
All past due principal and accrued interest on this Note shall bear interest from maturity (whether on demand, upon acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default (as defined below) or otherwise) until paid at the lesser of (i) the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate for which Borrower may legally contract under applicable law. All payments hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payments.
1. Conversion.
(a) Conversion Option. This Note shall be convertible at the option of Holder hereof (the "Optional Conversion"), in whole or in part, in lieu of and in satisfaction of the unpaid principal hereunder, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 2) as is equal to the quotient of the unpaid principal divided by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2). Upon any Optional Conversion, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall be reduced in full by an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.
(b) Conversion Procedures. If Holder is entitled to and desires to convert this Note into Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note to Borrower at its principal executive offices, accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to Borrower or in blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice to Borrower that Holder elects so to convert this Note and the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued. Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such written notice and compliance with any other conditions herein contained, deliver at such office to Holder, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive Common Stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders thereof on such date.
(c) Certain Adjustments. The applicable Conversion Price and the number of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In case Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof (1) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock that is paid or made in shares of stock of Borrower, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or
(3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto and the securities issuable shall be adjusted retroactively as provided below so that Holder thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower and other shares and rights to purchase stock or other securities which Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. In the event of the redemption of any shares referred to in clause (1), Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of any such shares or rights, any cash, property or securities paid in respect of such redemption. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (i) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(ii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided above, Borrower shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance herewith and mail to Holder a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.
(iii) In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section, Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares of Borrower other than shares of Common Stock or to receive any other securities, the number of such other shares or securities so receivable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained in these provisions with respect to Common Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. All calculations of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of this Note shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In case of any reclassification of Common Stock, any consolidation of Borrower with, or merger of Borrower into, any other person, any merger of another person into Borrower (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of Borrower), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible hereunder, to convert this Note only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of Borrower into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming such holder of Common Stock of Borrower (i) is not a person with which Borrower consolidated or into which Borrower merged or which merged into Borrower, to which such sale or transfer was made or a party to such share exchange, as the case may be ("constituent person"), or an affiliate of a constituent person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is not the same for each share of Common Stock of Borrower held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent person or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Borrower, the person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires Borrower's shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of shares of its Common Stock and other securities free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note. Borrower shall pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities upon conversion of this Note by Holder.
2. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, the following terms have the respective meanings set
forth below:
(a) "Common Stock" shall mean the common stock of Borrower and any capital stock into which such common stock shall have been changed and any other stock resulting from any reclassification of such stock which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock which shall be in effect from time to time.
(b) "Conversion Price" shall mean, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1(c) hereof, $3.08.
3. Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal and any interest outstanding under this Note in full or in part at any time and from time to time. Any prepayment shall be applied first against any accrued interest and then against principal.
4. Default Remedies.
(a) Borrower shall be in default under this Note upon the happening of any condition or event set forth below (each, an "Event of Default"):
(i) Borrower shall fail to pay the principal and interest due on this Note on the date which the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and Borrower fails to make such payment within twenty (20) days of the date which Borrower receives written notice from the Holder that any such payment has not been received by Holder;
(ii) default by Borrower in the punctual performance of any other obligation, covenant, term or provision contained in this Note, and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of ten
(10) days or more following written notice of default by Holder to Borrower;
(iii)The commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower which results in the entry of an order for relief which remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days or more.
(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued interest thereon shall immediately be due and payable at the option of the holder hereof upon the occurrence of any one or more of the Events of Default and at any time thereafter.
5. Cumulative Rights. No delay on the part of the holder of this Note in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
6. Waiver. Borrower waives demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of acceleration (other than notices of default required pursuant to Sections 4(a)(i) and (ii)), notice of protest and any and all lack of diligence or delay in collection or the filing of suit hereon which may occur, and agree to all extensions and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to the holder hereof.
7. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In the event that this Note is collected in whole or in part through suit, arbitration, mediation, or other legal proceeding of any nature, then and in any such case there shall be added to the unpaid principal amount hereof all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees.
8. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to conflicts of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.
9. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Note are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
10. Usury. All agreements between Borrower and the holder of this Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the holder of this Note shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note or any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof relating to this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of Borrower to the holder hereof, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and the holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof, and/or (c) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between Borrower and the holder hereof.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Note may not be sold, transferred or otherwise assigned by Holder without the prior written consent of Borrower. Borrower's obligations under this Note may not be transferred or otherwise assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Holder.
12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
