For purposes of this paragraph 2, "Change in Control" shall mean: (a) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization involving the Company, if all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization do not beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity's securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; (c) a change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") , as a result of which fewer than two-thirds of the incumbent directors are directors who either (i) had been directors of the Company on the date 24 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change in Control (the "original directors") or (ii) were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved or (iii) satisfy any combination of (i) and (ii); or (d) any transaction as a result of which any person is the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding voting securities. For purposes of this clause (d), the term "person" shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or of a parent or subsidiary of the Company and (ii) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Common Stock of the Company. 2 A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company's incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company's securities immediately before such transaction. 3. Holder's Rights Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder may (a) accelerate the maturity of this Note and demand immediate payment in full, whereupon the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all obligations of the Company to the Holder, together with accrued interest thereon and accrued fees and expenses (if any) payable on or in respect of this Note, will become immediately due and payable to the Holder without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company and (b) exercise all legally available rights and privileges. 4.

No delay or omission by the Holder in exercising, or failure by the Holder to exercise on any one or more occasions, any rights hereunder will be construed as a waiver or novation of this Note or prevent the subsequent exercise of any or all such rights. 3 (e) This Note may not be waived, changed, modified, or discharged orally, but only in writing.
