2.2 Remedies Upon An Event of Default . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Holder of this Note may at any time at its option declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, 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; provided, however , that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described above, the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion, may (a) demand the redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 3.6(a) hereof (to the extent permitted by Section 3.6(a) hereof), (b) demand that the principal amount of this Note then outstanding and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price per share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Holder demands conversion pursuant to this clause, or (c) exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or applicable law; provided further, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clauses (k) or (l), the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, shall automatically become 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 shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the right of the Holder. No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3

3.1 Conversion .

(a) Voluntary Conversion . At any time and from time to time on or after the Amendment Date, 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 balance that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “ Conversion Notice ”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (908) 464-1705, Attn.: Raymond P. Warrell, Jr., M.D.) (the “ Voluntary Conversion Date ”). 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 each Conversion Date. On any such Voluntary Conversion Date, Maker shall also pay Holder an amount in cash equal to the then accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the outstanding principal balance that the Holder has elected to convert.

(b) Mandatory Conversion . On the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below), the Maker may cause the principal amount all or a portion of the Notes to convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the principal amount of the Notes divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date by providing five business (5) days prior written notice of such Mandatory Conversion Date. Any such conversion shall be made pro-rata amongst all Holders of Notes. As used herein, a “ Mandatory Conversion Date ” shall be a date on which the Daily VWAP has exceeded $0.50 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock combinations and the like) for each of the twenty (20) consecutive prior Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to such date; provided, that the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied and the Common Stock shall have been Tradable on each Trading Day during the period beginning on the first day of such 20-day period and ending on the date of the delivery of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the mandatory conversion. The Mandatory Conversion Date and the Voluntary Conversion Date collectively are referred to in this Note as the “ Conversion Date .” On any such Mandatory Conversion Date, Maker shall also pay Holder an amount in cash equal to the then accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes.

3.2 Conversion Price . The term “ Conversion Price ” shall mean $0.01, subject to adjustment under Section 3.5 hereof.

3.3 Mechanics of Conversion .

(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date (the “ Delivery Date ”), the Maker or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the DTC account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“ DWAC ”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, free from any restrictive legend. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such shares, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker.

(b) The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for each of the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

(c) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Maker fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit via DWAC the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In” ), then the Maker shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that the Maker was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with such conversion times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Maker timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Maker shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Maker written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Maker. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.4 Ownership Cap.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Company issue to Holder shares of Common Stock or the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note into shares of Common Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such issuance or conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time and all shares of Common Stock that the Holder is then the beneficial owner of (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder), the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.999% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however , that upon the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof) (the “ Waiver Notice ”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of this Note, this Section 3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Company issue to Holder shares of Common Stock or the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note into shares of Common Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such issuance or conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time and all shares of Common Stock that the Holder is then the beneficial holder of (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder), would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time.

3.5 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 3.5(a)(i) hereof):

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations . If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date effect a stock 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 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 3.5(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions . If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions . If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that they would have received had this Note

been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period) or assets, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.5(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note and the Other Notes; provided, however , that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution . If the Common Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class or classes of stock or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.5(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of   Assets . If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a Change of Control, then as a part of such Change of Control the Holder shall have the right to demand prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(b) hereof.

(vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Maker shall at any time or from time to time issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 3.5(a) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date) (“ Additional Shares of Common Stock ”), at an effective price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to a price equal to the effective consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(vii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents . The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall apply if (a) the Maker, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“ Convertible Securities ”), other than the Notes, the Other Notes, or (b) any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the “ Common Stock Equivalents ”) shall be issued or sold. If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (vi) of this Section 3.5(a).

(viii) Consideration for Stock . In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:
