5. Acknowledgments by Company. Company hereby acknowledges the following:
 
5.1.1 The recitals set forth in paragraphs A through D above are true and correct;

9. Penalty Payment. In the event the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Amended Debenture and exercise of Amended Warrants are not salable by Investor pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as a result of the Company’s failure to maintain current public filings as required by Rule 144(c) for more than five business days, and such shares are not then covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (a “Penalty Date”) or are salable under Rule 144(k), the Company shall pay Investor a penalty in the amount equal to $10,000, and shall pay an additional $10,000 at the end of each monthly anniversary of the Penalty Date that such shares are neither covered by such registration statement nor salable under Rule 144 as a result of the Company’s failure to maintain current public filings as required by Rule 144(c) nor salable under Rule 144(k). Such penalty shall be paid to the Investor by the Company in cash or other immediately available funds within five business day after such penalty is incurred. In no event shall Investor be entitled to more than one penalty payment for any 30-day period. The parties acknowledge that the damages which may be incurred by the Investor in the event the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Amended Debenture and exercise of Amended Warrants are not salable by Investor pursuant to Rule 144 may be difficult to ascertain.

_______________(Initial)

13. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Investor and Company hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and with respect to the Debenture and the Transaction Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Investor for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Company, or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum rate of interest under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement at the time performance of such provisions shall be due shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Investor should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Maximum Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing with respect to the Debenture or Transaction Documents or on account of the other indebtedness secured by the Transaction Documents and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Debenture and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Company. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Investor for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debenture and other indebtedness of Company to Investor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such indebtedness is uniform throughout the actual term (as extended by amendments, forbearance agreements and/or otherwise) of the Debenture or does not exceed the Maximum Rate throughout the entire term of the Debenture. The terms and provisions of this Section 13 shall control every other provision of this Agreement and all other agreements between Company and Investor.
 
14. Breach or Default.
 
14.1 The following shall constitute an immediate “Default” under this Agreement:
 
14.1.1 Company breaches or fails in any material respect to comply with this Agreement;
 
14.1.2 Any material representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement is false or misleading in any material respect at the time made;
 
7

 
14.1.3 Company files for bankruptcy or seeks approval of a plan of reorganization prior to the Expiration Date or during the Forbearance Period to which Investor has not consented in writing; and
 
14.1.4 Company fails to honor legal opinion delivered by Investor pursuant to Section 15.1.1.
 
14.2 Upon a Default by the Company under this Agreement or a breach of the Amended Debenture or the occurrence of any other event which is set forth in Sections 14(a) through (d) and Sections 14(f) through (m) of the Amended Debenture (which would constitute an Event of Default under the Amended Debenture with the appropriate notice thereunder or without notice, as the case may be), the Forbearance Period shall automatically terminate and the Investor, at its sole option, may immediately exercise its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents and applicable law without providing notice and opportunity to cure to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the Company’s rights to notice and opportunity to cure otherwise provided in the Amended Debenture.
