from the date of this Note on the unpaid principal balance at a
rate equal to 8.0% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. All
unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued
interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and
payable, unless converted pursuant to Section 7 below, on the
earlier of (i) a declaration by Investor on or after June 30,

occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), such amounts
are made due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof. This Note is one of two “Notes” in
the form hereof issued by the Company on or about the date hereof
(this Note, together with such other Note, the
“Notes” ). This Note is secured by a
lien on all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of
Section 6 below.

Outstanding Debt. Investor agrees to deliver the
original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original
Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed along with an indemnity
with respect thereto in a form satisfactory to the Company) at the
closing of the Liquidation Event for cancellation; provided,
however , that upon payment of the amounts set forth above with

other obligation with respect to the Outstanding Debt, whether or
not this Note is delivered for cancellation as set forth in the
preceding sentence.
