The Payee need not provide and Maker hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Payee may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Payee at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

4. Conversion. The Payee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to convert the principal balance of this Note then outstanding plus accrued but unpaid interest, in whole or in part, into common stock of the Maker (or its successor) at a conversion price of $0.19 per share (adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital adjustments). Any such conversion shall be accomplished through the procedures and restrictions set forth in Section 4 of the Debentures, including but not limited to the Conversion Limitation provision of Section 4(c).

5. Warrant Exchange. In consideration for agreeing to waive any anti-dilution adjustments that would otherwise occur to the Securities solely as a result of the issuance of this Note and the conversion feature set forth in Section 4, Maker hereby agrees to exchange all of Payee’s Warrants, from time to time as described herein, for a total of, in the aggregate, 10,346,876 shares of Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”), subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like, provided, that no such exchange shall exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as set forth in Section 2(d) of the Warrant (this limitation to otherwise be governed by said section). Maker acknowledges that Payee may request such exchanges of its Warrant for Exchange Shares from time to time, notwithstanding the payment in f ull of this Note, as many times and in such amounts as may be requested by Payee, subject to the limitations on exercise set forth above, and the effect of such request and exercise shall be to reduce the number of Warrant Shares (on a 1 for 1 basis) issuable pursuant to the Warrants. No actual surrender of the Warrants is required for exercise. Maker acknowledges and agrees that the holding period of the Exchange Shares for purposes of Rule 144 shall tack back to the original issue date of the issuance of the Warrants and that any exchange hereunder shall first apply to the earliest issued Warrants and then chronologically thereafter. Delivery of Exchange Shares shall occur electronically via the Depository Trust Company Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System to the account specified by the Payee in the exercise notice, such delivery to otherwise occur pursuant to the terms of the Warrants.

6. No Waiver of Payee's Rights. All payments of principal and interest shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No delay or failure on the part of the Payee in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, nor any partial or single exercise of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver thereof or of any other option, power or right, and no waiver on the part of the Payee of any of its options, powers or rights shall constitute a waiver of any other option, power or right. Maker hereby waives presentment of payment, protest, and all notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or endorsement of this Note. Acceptance by the Payee of less than the full amount due and payable hereunder shall in no way limit the right of the Payee to require full payment of all sums due and payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. In no event shall the waiver provided for in Section 5 be deemed to extend for purposes beyond the issuance of shares hereunder and any additional issuance by the Maker of its securities shall be subject to the anti-dilution provisions in the Securities.

7. Modifications. No term or provision contained herein may be modified, amended or waived except by written agreement or consent signed by the party to be bound thereby.

8. Cumulative Rights and Remedies; Usury. The rights and remedies of Payee expressed herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies otherwise available under this Note, the Security Agreements, or applicable law (including at equity). The election of Payee to avail itself of any one or more remedies shall not be a bar to any other available remedies, which Maker agrees Payee may take from time to time. If it shall be found that any interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum permitted rate of interest under such law.

9. Collection Expenses. If Payee shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce this Note, then Maker shall reimburse Payee for its costs of collection and reasonable attorneys fees incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

10. Severability. If any provision of this Note is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in any way invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest.

11. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon Maker and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Payee and its successors and assigns. The term "Payee" as used herein, shall also include any endorsee, assignee or other holder of this Note.

12. Lost or Stolen Promissory Note. If this Note is lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise destroyed, Maker shall execute and deliver to the Payee a new promissory note containing the same terms, and in the same form, as this Note. In such event, Maker may require the Payee to deliver to Maker an affidavit of lost instrument and customary indemnity in respect thereof as a condition to the delivery of any such new promissory note.

13. Due Authorization. This Note has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Maker and is the legal obligation of Maker, enforceable against Maker in accordance with its terms. No consent of any other party and no consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Maker, or the validity or enforceability of this Note other than such as have been met or obtained. The execution, delivery and performance of this Note and all other agreements and instruments executed and delivered or to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or the securities issuable upon conversion of this will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court, regulatory body or administrative agency or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Maker or any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Maker is a party or by which the Maker or any property or assets of the Maker may be bound.

14. Governing Law, Arbitration. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and any dispute between the parties relating to or arising from this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Note (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents), as well as any dispute between the parties relating to this Note, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California before an arbitrator with experience in commercial disputes relating to securities. The a rbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or, if for any reason JAMS refuses to administer such arbitration or JAMS is no longer in business, by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its rules and procedures. Unless the arbitrator determines that there is exceptional need for additional discovery, discovery in the arbitration shall be limited as follows: (1) the parties shall exchange non-privileged relevant documents including, without limitation, all documents that the parties intend to use as evidence in the arbitration; and (2) each party shall be entitled to take one deposition of seven hours duration of either an opposing party or a non-party. If one party fails to respond within 20 days after the other party mails a written list of proposed arbitrators to that party by either agreeing to one of the proposed arbitrators or suggesting 3 or more alternate arbitrator s, the proposing party may select the arbitrator from among its initial list of proposed arbitrators and JAMS (or AAA if it is administering the

arbitration) shall then appoint that arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall select an arbitrator pursuant to the rules of JAMS (or AAA if it is administering the arbitration). Where reasonable, the arbitrator shall schedule the arbitration hearing within four (4) months after being appointed. The arbitrator must render a decision in writing, explaining the legal and factual basis for decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties. A judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, such as injunctive relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction. E ach party shall be responsible for advancing one-half of the costs of arbitration, including all JAMS (or AAA) fees; provided that, in the award, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitrator fees, JAMS (or AAA) fees and costs, and any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in compelling arbitration. The parties are not waiving, and expressly reserve, any rights they may have under federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, and any such rights shall be determined in the arbitration provided for herein. Each party hereby irrevocably agrees and submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City of San Francisco, California, for any suit, action or proceeding enforcing this arbitration provision or entering judgment upon any arbitral award made pursuant to this arbitration provision, and each party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, acti on or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, or that such suit, action or proceeding is an inconvenient venue. Each party hereby irrevocably waives 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 other manner permitted by law. This provision will be interpreted, construed and governed according to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.).
