3. “Note Conversion Securities” shall mean the shares or units of equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section B.2(a).

4. “Obligations” shall mean the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due hereunder and any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms hereof.

5. “Triggering Financing” shall mean the (a) completion of an offering of the Company’s equity securities in a single transaction or a series of related transactions yielding gross proceeds to the Company of at least Six Million Dollars $6,000,000 in the aggregate, including cash or the assignment of outstanding 8% convertible debentures, due December 1, 2007, issued by Saflink Corporation (the “Saflink Debentures”) (excluding the principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the aggregate principal amount of any other convertible promissory notes issued by the Company prior to the date of such Triggering Financing), or (b) the completion of any other offering of the Company’s equity securities together with the written consent of a Majority of the Noteholders.

B. Loan.
