THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT COVERING SUCH TRANSFER OR AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Tri-Isthmus Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ TISG ”) promises to pay to the order of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX , a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (“ Holder ”), in lawful money of the United States of America without set-off, demand, deduction or counterclaim, the aggregate principal amount of XXXXXXXXXXX and No/100 Dollars ($ XXXXXX ) (the “ Principal ”) when due, upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) together with interest (“ Interest ”) at a rate equal to sixteen percent (16%) per annum (based on a 365-day year and charged on the basis of actual days elapsed, the “ Interest Rate ”) from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “ Issuance Date ”) until the Principal becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date, or such other date by acceleration or otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “ Note ”) may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed by the Holder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note may be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed (i) to an affiliate of the Holder for estate planning purposes, or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Any such sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance shall be subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 20 .

1.  Payments of Principal . On the Maturity Date, TISG shall pay to the Holder the unpaid Principal of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid Interest. The “ Maturity Date ” shall be December 3, 2009, unless (a) extended at the option of TISG pursuant to the terms of Section 3 , or (b) accelerated by the Holder or TISG in accordance with the terms of Section 6 , or as otherwise provided herein.

2.  Interest . Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be payable in arrears on a monthly basis on the first day of the succeeding month during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date, or such other date on which the entire amount of the Principal is repaid (each, an “ Interest Date ”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date to the Holder. Interest accrues at the Interest Rate on all outstanding unpaid Principal owed under this Note and all accrued Interest is payable on each Interest Date. If Interest is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear like interest as the Principal.

3.  Maturity Date Extension . The Maturity Date of this Note is subject to one (1) three (3)-month extension at TISG’s option, in which case the Maturity Date will be extended to March 3, 2010. TISG may exercise this option by delivering to Holder a written notice of the election to extend the Maturity Date executed by TISG, delivered at least ten (10) days before the original Maturity Date of December 3, 2009. In the event TISG elects to extend the Maturity Date, upon the exercise of the extension TISG will issue Holder warrants to purchase (a) XXXXXX restricted shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.50 per share, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and (b) XXXXXX restricted shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.75 per share, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B .

4.  Repayment by TISG . TISG may, from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Holder, prepay all or any portion of the Principal or Interest of this Note to the Holder without premium or penalty.

5. Conversion .

(a) Conversion . At any time and from time to time prior to the payment of this Note in full, the Holder may convert all or any portion of the entire unpaid Principal and any unpaid accrued Interest at the date upon which the conversion is to be effected (the “ Conversion Date ”) into a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares) as Conversion Shares determined by dividing the sum of the unpaid Principal and unpaid accrued Interest to be converted at the Conversion Date by the conversion price in effect at the Conversion Date (the “ Conversion Price ”).

(b) Conversion Price . The initial Conversion Price shall be U.S.$0.625. In the event that TISG issues or sells (or is deemed, pursuant to this Section 5(b) , to have issued or sold) shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock (each such transaction or event referred to herein as an “ Adjustment Event ”), during such time as the Note remains unpaid, other than (i) upon exercise or conversion of any option, warrant or other convertible security outstanding as of the date hereof; or (ii) an offering of options to employees, the Conversion Price will be adjusted downward to the lowest Effective Price (as defined below) per share that TISG has sold the Common Stock during the period from the Issuance Date through the Conversion Date, until all of the Principal and Interest have been converted at such new Conversion Price, or the Note shall have been repaid. By way of clarification, (1) neither of the transactions or events described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the previous sentence shall constitute an Adjustment Event; and (2) the execution by TISG of any note comprising the Bridge Financing, the Warrants, or any other warrants issued in conjunction with the Bridge Financing shall not constitute an Adjustment Event.

(i) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 5(b ), the consideration received by TISG for any issue or sale of securities shall: (A) to the extent it consists of cash be computed at the amount of cash received by TISG, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value of that property as determined in good faith by TISG’s Board of Directors, and (C) if shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as defined below) or rights or options to purchase either shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of TISG for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by TISG’s Board of Directors to be allocable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.

(ii) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 5(b), if TISG issues or sells any rights or options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into, shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being hereinafter referred to as “ Convertible Securities ”), then in each case TISG shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by TISG for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to TISG upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to TISG (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion thereof. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price, adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by TISG upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by TISG for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by TISG (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities.

(iii) The “ Effective Price ” of shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold pursuant to this Section 5(b) , shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by TISG under this Section 5(b) , into the aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received by TISG for such issuance or sale under this Section 5(b) for such shares of Common Stock.

(iv) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, TISG at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

(v) TISG shall give at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Holder of any Adjustment Event (“ Adjustment Notice ”). Holder shall have the option to elect, by written notice to TISG within ten (10) days of Holder’s receipt of the Adjustment Notice, whether Holder (a) desires to have the Conversion Price reduced in connection with such Adjustment Event pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(b), or (b) alternatively, desires to purchase its “Pro Rata Share” (as defined below) of the Common Stock and/or Convertible Securities offered or issued by TISG in the Adjustment Event. If Holder notifies TISG within such ten (10) day period that Holder wishes to so purchase its Pro Rata Share of such Common Stock and/or Convertible Securities, Holder shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such Common Stock and/or Convertible Securities, for the same price per share (if any) of Common Stock or per unit of Convertible Securities as paid by the other investors in the Adjustment Event. As used herein, “ Pro Rata Share ” will be such number of shares of Common Stock and/or Convertible Securities determined by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock and/or units of Convertible Securities to be issued or sold in the Adjustment Event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming exercise, conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities) then held by Holder, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming exercise, conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities) of TISG then outstanding. If Holder does not give any notice to TISG within such ten (10) day period, Holder shall be deemed to have elected to cause the Conversion Price to be reduced as a result of such Adjustment Event in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b).

(c) Conversion Procedure . Holder may exercise its conversion right hereunder by delivering a written notice to TISG (the “ Conversion Notice ”) specifying the Conversion Date (being no earlier than three (3) business days after the date on which the Conversion Notice is considered delivered), the amount of Principal and Interest of this Note to be converted, and the number of shares of Common Stock which shall be issued to Holder upon such conversion. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to TISG unless the all Principal of and accrued Interest on this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal and Interest amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable amounts thereof being converted. The Holder and TISG shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest amounts converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, TISG will issue a certificate to Holder evidencing the number of Conversion Shares into which this Note has been converted.

(d) Fractional Shares . If any fractional Conversion Shares would, except for the provisions hereof, be issuable upon conversion of this Note, TISG, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price as of the Conversion Date.

(e) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . Upon any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of TISG’s assets or other similar transaction, which in any such case is effected in such a manner that TISG’s holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock (each, an “ Organic Change ”), TISG shall make appropriate provision to insure that Holder shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Conversion Shares specified in this Section 5 theretofore issuable upon conversion of the Principal balance of this Note and any unpaid accrued Interest, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change (if Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to such Organic Change) with respect to or in exchange for the Conversion Shares.

(f) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If TISG at any time divides or subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) the Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such division, subdivision or capitalization shall be proportionately reduced, and if TISG at any time combines or consolidates (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

(g) Certain Dividends and Distributions . If TISG at any time pays 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, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following such event.

(h) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion . TISG shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note, TISG will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to TISG’s Certificate of Incorporation.

(i) Valid Issue . TISG shall ensure that all Conversion Shares issued pursuant to this Section 5 , if any, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all encumbrances, liens, mortgages and any other rights of third parties whatsoever.

6. Covenants .

(a) Registration .

(i) Incidental Registration . Commencing immediately after the Issuance Date, if TISG determines that it shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than a registration statement on a Form S-4 or S-8 or filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to TISG’s existing stockholders) on any form that would also permit the registration of the offer and resale of the Conversion Shares, upon conversion, and such filing is to be on its behalf and/or on behalf of selling holders of its securities for the general registration of the offer and sale of its Common Stock to be sold for cash, at each such time TISG shall promptly give Holder written notice of such determination setting forth the date on which TISG proposes to file such registration statement, which date shall be no earlier than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and advising Holder of its right to have Conversion Shares (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) included in such registration. Upon the written request of Holder received by TISG no later than twenty (20) days after the date of TISG’s notice, TISG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Conversion Shares (and all of the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) that Holder has so requested to be registered. If, in the written opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters (or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, in the written opinion of the placement agent, or if there is none, TISG), the total amount of such securities to be so registered, including such Conversion Shares, will exceed the maximum amount of TISG’s securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related to the then current market value of such securities, or (ii) without otherwise materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the amount of Conversion Shares to be offered for the account of Holder shall be reduced pro rata to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the recommended amount; provided, that if securities are being offered for the account of other Persons as well as TISG, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of securities intended to be offered by Holder than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other Persons other than TISG over the amount of securities they intended to offer.

(ii) Demand Registration . Upon demand by the holders of notes that represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes comprising the Bridge Financing (“ Noteholders ”), which demand shall not be given prior to the date which is thirty-six (36) months after the Issuance Date, TISG shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “ Registrable Securities ”), on a registration statement prepared by TISG and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) within thirty (30) days of such demand (the “ Registration Statement ”); provided, that the Noteholders shall be entitled to only one (1) demand to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(a)(ii) . The Registration Statement will be on Form SB-2 or other appropriate form and will permit the Registrable Securities to be offered on a continuous basis. TISG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof. TISG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earliest of (a) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold, (b) the date on which all Registrable Securities may be sold by the Noteholders immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, or (c) two (2) years from the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

(iii) Expenses . TISG shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement pursuant to this Section 6 , other than selling commissions and fees which shall be responsibility of the Holder. TISG and the Holder shall provide each other with customary indemnification rights in connection with any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 6 .

(iv) Survival . The covenants of TISG set forth in this Section 6(a) shall survive indefinitely following the conversion, payment, cancellation or other termination of this Note and the exercise of the Warrants.

(b) Call Right on Equity Financing . In the event that (a) TISG completes an equity financing for its own account or for the account of one of its subsidiaries, and the aggregate gross proceeds to such entity (considered together with the aggregate gross proceeds of any other equity financing for the account of TISG or its subsidiaries after the date hereof) exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or (b) TISG and its subsidiaries collectively incur more than Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) in new debt after the Issuance Date of this Note and without the written consent of holders of notes that represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes comprising the Bridge Financing, the Holder may, at its option, declare by written notice to TISG the unpaid Principal of the Note (together with all accrued Interest thereon) to be immediately due and payable, and, in such event, TISG shall immediately pay to the Holder all amounts due and payable with respect to this Note. The Holder agrees that it shall not exercise its rights right of conversion pursuant to Section 5 of this Note for a period of ten (10) days after Holder declares this Note due and payable pursuant to this Section 6(b). However, if this Note has not been paid in full during such ten (10) day period, Holder shall have again have the right to exercise its rights of conversion pursuant to Section 5 of this Note. Such conversion rights shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to Holder at law or at equity.

(c) Incurrence of Indebtedness . Beginning on the Issuance Date of this Note, and continuing for so long as this Note is outstanding, TISG shall not incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Permitted Indebtedness, without the consent of the holders of notes that represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes comprising the Bridge Financing, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Asset Sales . TISG shall not, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale without the prior consent of holders of notes that represent a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes comprising the Bridge Financing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Use of Proceeds . TISG will use amounts received from Holder pursuant to this Note for general corporate purposes.

In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, Holder may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to it hereby or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

8. Reissuance of This Note .
