principal amount notes on the same terms after
45
day intervals from the prior issuance, for additional net proceeds of
$1,020,000.
  The convertible note contained anti-dilution protections if the Company issued shares of common stock for less than the conversion price. The convertible note was secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.  At the closing, the Company issued
80,000
