7.      USURY LAWS. Regardless of any provision contained in this Note, Lender shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest on this Note (whether termed interest herein or deemed to be interest by judicial determination or operation of law) any amount in excess of the maximum rate which may lawfully be charged (the “Maximum Rate”), in the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and, if the principal balance of this Note is paid in full, then any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Company. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest Maximum Rate, the Company and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term; provided, that if this Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, if any, then Lender or any holder hereof shall refund to the Company the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all advances made by the Lender or any holder hereof under this Note at the time in question.
 
8.      CONVERSION RIGHTS.
 
(a)   CONVERSION PRIVILEGE GENERALLY. During the period of time commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the payment in full of this Note absent an Event of Default, Lender, at its option may convert all or any portion of outstanding principal balance of this Note into the number of Shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (i) the unpaid principal amount of, and interest through the date of conversion on, this Note to be converted, by (ii) the Conversion Price.
 
(b)   CONVERSION PRIVILEGE UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option may convert all or any portion of outstanding principal balance of and accrued interest upon this Note and the Other Notes into the number of Shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (i) the unpaid principal amount of, and interest through the date of conversion on, this Note and the Other Notes to be converted, by (ii) the Default Conversion Price.
 
(c)    CONVERSION PROCEDURE. To convert this Note pursuant to this SECTION 8, Lender must
 
(i) complete and sign a “Form of Election to Convert” attached hereto as Exhibit A;
 
(ii) pay any transfer or similar tax if required by SECTION 8(f); and
 
(iii) if the conversion is of the entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest upon this Note, then surrender this Note to the Company. As promptly as practicable after delivery of an Election to Convert in accordance with this SECTION 8(c), the Company shall issue and deliver to Lender a certificate or certificates for the full number of whole shares of Common Stock.
 
(d)    CASH PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock, scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock, or Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the principal of, or interest on, this Note. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any portion of this Note, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment therefor in respect of such fractional share equal to the product of (i) the percentage representing such fractional share multiplied by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price or Default Conversion Price, as the case may be.

(e)    EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, OR SALE. In the event of (i) any reclassification (including, without limitation, a reclassification effected by means of an exchange or tender offer by the Company) but excluding a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or other property (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or other property (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall enter into an Amended and Restated Note providing that this Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities or other property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance which Lender would have received if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance. Such Amended and Restated Note shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this SECTION 8. Whenever an Amended and Restated Note is entered into as provided herein, the Company shall promptly provide Lender with an Officer's Certificate setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such Amended and Restated Note. The provisions of this SECTION 8 shall similarly apply to all successive events of the type described in this SECTION 8.
 
(f)     TAXES ON SHARES ISSUED. The issuance of a certificate or certificates on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Lender for any tax or charge with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or charge which may be payable with respect to any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of a certificate or certificates in any name other than that of Lender, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or certificates unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or charge or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or charge has been paid.
 
(g)    RESERVATION OF SHARES; SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS. The Company shall reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its Common Stock held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all of this Note.

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price or the Default Conversion Price, as the case may be, below the then par value, if any, of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price or Default Conversion Price, as the case may be. The Company covenants that all Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of this Note will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance and delivery thereof. The Company covenants that if any Common Stock issued or delivered upon conversion of this Note hereunder requires registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any applicable federal or state law (excluding federal or state securities laws) before such Common Stock may be lawfully issued, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
 
(h)    NOTICE TO LENDER PRIOR TO CERTAIN ACTIONS. In the event that:
 
(i)  the Company shall declare or authorize any event which could result in an adjustment in the Conversion Price or the Default Conversion Price, as the case may be, under SECTION 8(e) or require the execution of an Amended and Restated Note; or
 
(ii) the Company shall authorize the combination, consolidation or merger of the Company for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company in whole or in part; then, in each such case, the Company shall give or cause to be given to Lender, as promptly as possible but in any event at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding Common Stock entitled to participate in such event, the date on which such event is expected to become effective or occur and the date on which it is expected that holders of outstanding Common Stock of record shall be entitled to surrender their shares, or receive any items, in connection with such event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
 
 9.     NOTICE. Whenever this Note requires or permits any notice, approval, request, or demand from one party to another, the notice, approval, request, or demand must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when personally served or when deposited in the United States mails, registered or certified, return receipt requested, addressed to the party to be notified at the following address (or at such other address as may have been designated by written notice):
