without the prior written consent of Payee.
4. Consent Requirements . So
long as any Principal Amount remains outstanding hereunder, Maker

consent of Payee:
(a) redeem, repurchase or otherwise
acquire, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on,
any capital stock of Maker;
(b) increase the par value of
Maker’s common stock;
(c) create or issue any debt

5. Optional Conversion
.
(a) Subject to Sections 6 and 7,

(b) Payee shall effect the
conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 5 by
providing notice to Maker of its intent to convert and surrendering

of such notice and the surrendered Note from Payee, Maker shall
deliver to Payee a certificate or certificates representing the
number of shares of common stock being acquired upon the conversion
of this Note.

original issue date of this Note (i) subdivide its outstanding
shares of common stock into a greater number of shares or issue
additional shares of common stock for no consideration as a stock
dividend, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of common stock
into a smaller number of shares of common stock, or
(iii) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the common stock, then the number of common
shares receivable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that Payee shall be entitled to
receive the kind and number of common shares or other securities of
Maker which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive
had this Note
been converted in advance thereof. An adjustment
made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record

Securities to be offered, (C) the price and terms upon which

anticipated closing date of the sale of such Additional
Securities.

Financing, the holder shall (i) purchase, at the price and on

holder of this Note may purchase, together with the other holder(s)
of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note(s) issued by the
Company of like kind (together, the “ Note Holders
”), Additional Securities having an aggregate purchase price
equal to $2,000,000, at the price and on the terms specified in the
Notice, the purchase price for which shall be paid by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to such account as the Company shall
designate for such purpose. Notwithstanding Section 6(b), if
the Note Holders do not purchase Additional Securities in a
Qualified Financing accordance with this Section 6(c), then
upon the closing of such Qualified Financing, this Note shall
automatically convert into (i) that number of Additional
Securities being issued and sold in such Qualified Financing that
results from dividing $
by the purchase price per share of such Additional Securities paid
by the investor(s) in such Qualified Financing, and (ii)
shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock or such
other series or class of the Company’s preferred stock as

issued pursuant to 6(c)(ii) are referred to herein as “
Preferred Shares ”) For the avoidance of doubt, the
remedies set forth in this Section 6(c) shall be the
Company’s exclusive remedies for the failure by the Note
Holders to purchase Additional Securities in a Qualified
Financing
