1.1 Purchase Agreement.

(a) The Maker shall pay interest to the Holder on the Outstanding Principal Amount at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Interest shall be payable on the 15^th of July, October, January, and April of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) during the term of the Note, commencing with the first Interest Payment Date following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Interest payments shall be made, at the Maker’s option, and subject to the Equity Conditions, in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock (the “Repayment Shares”), or (iii) a combination of cash and Repayment Shares. Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount converted.

(b) The number of Repayment Shares shall be determined by dividing the payment amount by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day prior to the Interest Payment Date. The Maker may only issue Repayment Shares if (i) no Event of Default has occurred or is occurring; (ii) the Holder has not been issued greater than 14.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares, inclusive of the Repayment Shares being issued, unless expressly waived by the Company’s Board of Directors, (iii) the Repayment Shares are registered on an effective Registration Statement or otherwise subject to an exemption therefrom; (iv) the aggregate number of Repayment Shares, together with any Conversion Shares, will not exceed the shares reserved in accordance with Section 4.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and (v) the Company’s shares are listed or quoted on a Trading Market as defined in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Equity Conditions”)

(a) The Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note is payable in cash on the Maturity Date.

(b) At any time after the one-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Maker may repay the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (the “Prepayment Amount”) in cash, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice of the Holder (the “Prepayment Notice”). If the Maker elects to prepay this Note pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.3, the Holder shall have the right, upon written notice to the Maker (a “Prepayment Conversion Notice”) within twenty (20) Business Days of the Holder’s receipt of a Prepayment Notice, to convert all or a portion of the Prepayment Amount at the Conversion Price in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, specifying the Prepayment Amount that the Holder will convert. Upon delivery of a Prepayment Notice, the Maker irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a Prepayment Conversion Notice, and if no Prepayment Conversion Notice is received, within thirty (30) Business Days of delivery of a Prepayment Notice: (i) repay the Prepayment Amount less any amount set forth in the Prepayment Conversion Notice (“Cash Prepayment Amount”) provided that the Cash Prepayment Amount shall include a premium equal to the Cash Prepayment Amount multiplied by (a) twenty five percent (25%) if Prepayment Notice is given on or before the two-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (b) twenty percent (20%) if Prepayment Notice is made after the two-year anniversary and on or prior to the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (c) fifteen percent (15%) if Prepayment Notice is made after the three-year and on or prior to the four-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, or (d) ten percent (10%) if the Prepayment Notice is given after the four-year anniversary of the Issuance Date and (ii) issue the applicable Conversion Shares to the Holder in accordance with Article 3. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Maker may not deliver a Prepayment Notice with respect to any Outstanding Principal Amount that is subject to a Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder in accordance with Article 3.

Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), the Holder will be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any class of capital stock of the Maker, an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any). For purposes of this Note, “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor’s relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Maker.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, Holders representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes (the “Holder Majority”) may at any time at its option declare the entire Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any) due and payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Maker. No course of delay on the part of the Holder Majority shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the rights of the Holder Majority.

ARTICLE 3

3.1 Conversion.

(a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time and from time to time, subject to Section 3.3 herein and Section 4.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the Outstanding Principal plus any accrued interest thereon by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) in accordance with Section 5.1 to the Maker. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of the date of such conversion (each, a “Conversion Date”).

(b) Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” means $0.13 and shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.

3.2 Delivery of Conversion Shares. As soon as practicable after any conversion in accordance with this Note and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion (the “Conversion Shares”), in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of this Note, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee).

3.3 Ownership Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, “Equity Interests”) upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 3.3 apply, the determination of whether this Note is convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3.3, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that, at the request of the Holder, the Maker may permit the Holder to increase the Maximum Percentage to 9.99% subject to the Maker’s analysis of its “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; it being agreed and understood that any such increase in the Maximum Percentage shall not take effect until 61 days following the date the Maker grants such request and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the 1934 Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the 1934 Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i) hereof):

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date), combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

(b) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

3.5 Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

3.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal such fractional shares multiplied by the Conversion Price then in effect.

3.7 Reservation of Common Stock. The Maker shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Minimum as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

3.8 Effect of Events Prior to the Issuance Date. If the Issuance Date of this Note is after the Closing Date, then, if the Conversion Price or any other right of the Holder of this Note would have been adjusted or modified by operation of any provision of this Note had this Note been issued on the Closing Date, such adjustment or modification shall be deemed to apply to this Note as of the Issuance Date as if this Note had been issued on the Closing Date.

3.9 Inability to Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise required under this Note, the Maker cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any shares of Common Stock not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).

3.10 No Rights as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a stockholder of the Maker.
