5.  
The Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall default in any of its obligations under any debenture, mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in an amount exceeding $25,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created and such default shall result in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable;

6.  
Any cessation of operations by the Company or if the Company discloses it is unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Company is unable pay its debts as they become due;

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Principal, plus Interest and Late Fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof, shall become immediately due and payable in cash, provided, however, Redwood may elect any part thereof to be paid in shares of Common Stock as part of any conversion hereunder in which case such shares of Common Stock shall be due.

Redwood is not required to provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Redwood shall be permitted to, 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 Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Redwood only in writing at any time prior to payment hereunder and Redwood shall have all rights and elections it is entitled to hereunder and or under law. Unless otherwise noted expressly herein in writing, no grace period applies.

(e)            Conversion.  At any time until both the Principal and Interest is paid in full and all conversions have been honored by the Company and the Note is no longer outstanding, the Principal and Interest, shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at fifty five percent (55%) of the lowest 3 day average closing price price, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s Common Stock, during a period of twenty (20) trading days prior to conversion (the “Set Price”).  Redwood shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”) and shall require the shares of Common Stock to be delivered by the Company within three (3) Business Days. If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, Redwood shall not be required to otherwise physically surrender anything to the Company. If the Company does not request, from its transfer agent, the issuance of the shares underlying the Note after receipt of a Notice of Conversion within three (3) Business Days following the date of Notice of Conversion, or fails to timely deliver the shares of Common Stock per the instructions of Redwood, within three (3) Business Days, free and clear of all legends and in legal free trading form, the Company shall be responsible to immediately reimburse Redwood for any differential in the value of the converted shares of Common Stock between the value of the closing price on the date the shares of Common Stock should have been delivered and the date the shares of Common Stock are delivered.   Redwood and any assignee, by acceptance of the Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of the Note, the unpaid and unconverted Principal may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. The parties hereby agree that the Company shall reimburse Redwood for all legal costs associated with the issuance of an opinion(s) of counsel to the Transfer Agent and other costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with the conversion and issuance of the shares of Common Stock.  When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to Redwood for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice by Redwood or the submission of an invoice by Redwood.  In addition, if the Company fails to timely (within three (3) Business Days), deliver the shares of Common Stock per the instructions of Redwood, free and clear of all legends and in legal free trading form, the Company shall allow Redwood to add two (2) days to the look back (the mechanism used to obtain the conversion price along with discount) for each day the Company fails to timely (within three (3) Business Days)) deliver shares of Common Stock, on the next two (2) conversions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Redwood may not convert under the Note to the extent such conversion would result in Redwood, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such conversion and held by Redwood after application of this section. The provisions of this section may be waived by Redwood, in whole or part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior written notice.  Any successor to Redwood shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(f)            Authorized Shares.  The Company covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion under the Note.  The Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion (based on the Set Price in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”).  The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Note.  The Company represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The Company (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion under the Note, and (ii) agrees that its execute of the Note and this Agreement shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If, at any time the Company does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default.

(g)            Adjustments.

1.            If the Company, at any time while the Note is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to the Note, including as interest thereon), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by  reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Set Price shall be either (i) as agreed in writing by Redwood in its discretion or if not agreed to by Redwood or reasonably objected to by the Company in writing to Redwood promptly before any such corporate change, (ii) be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stock as to such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Whenever the Set Price is adjusted as noted above in this paragraph the Company shall promptly, within one (1) Business Day, deliver to Redwood a notice setting forth the Set Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

2.            If, at any time while the Note is outstanding:  (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (as defined below), (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which Redwood is permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of its Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which its Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then Redwood may declare the Note in default or, if it elects in writing to the Company, upon any subsequent conversion, Redwood shall have the right to receive, for each underlying share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, converted one share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Set Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock of the Company in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Set Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner, but only if consented to in writing by Redwood, reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If shareholders of the Company’s Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then Redwood shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion permitted under the Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to Redwood a new agreement consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing Redwood’s right to convert under such agreement into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is affected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph and insuring that the Note  (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control Transaction, then at the request of Redwood delivered before the 90th calendar day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Note from Redwood for a purchase price, payable in cash within ten (10) business days of such request, equal to the less of (i) 125% or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law, of the remaining unconverted Principal on the date of such request, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, plus all other accrued and unpaid amounts due hereunder.  For purposes of the Note and this Agreement, “Person” shall mean a corporation, an association, a partnership, organization, a business, an individual, a government or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

(h)            Indebtedness.  So long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, the Company shall not and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any new indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom that is senior in any respect to the Company's obligations under the Note without the prior consent of Redwood. All consents of required of Redwood pursuant to the Note shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Redwood.

(i)            Usury.  If it shall be found by court that the Interest or other amount deemed interest due or aggregated hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury, the amount shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted under law.  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Note as contemplated herein, or otherwise not honor the Note, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to Redwood, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
 
 
3. Representations of Redwood.  Redwood represents to the Company and the Company confirms such representation, as follows:

(a)  Affiliate Status.  To the best of its knowledge, Redwood is not an affiliate, now or upon execution of this Agreement, and relies upon the representations made by the Company’s officers and directors, in such regard.   By execution of this Agreement, the Company hereby represents that Redwood is not and will not be, upon execution of this Agreement, an affiliate of the Company and the Company hereby acknowledges that Redwood has executed this Agreement solely on the reliance of such representation; and

(b) Accredited Investor Status.  Redwood is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”).

4. Other Concerns.  Redwood has no responsibility for any action or inaction by the Company.   The parties recognize and acknowledge that they have entered into a confidential relationship as to this Agreement, subject to the requirements of law to the contrary, and the parties have negotiated and entered into this Agreement in good faith and without any duress. Company has, notwithstanding anything, obtained counsel of its own choosing on the legality of the subject including the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereby without legend or restriction. The Company hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Redwood and its affiliates, including the counselors and advisors of Redwood, for any breach of any provision or representation by Company herein.
