upon surrender of this Promissory Note for conversion, it shall be
marked “Paid in Full”. Any such notice of election to

upon such conversion.
(ii) If
the Conversion Amount is less than the sum of all outstanding
principal on this Promissory Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest on this Promissory Note on the date the Conversion Request

conversion, (A) the principal amount of this Promissory Note
as shown on Schedule 1 hereto shall be reduced by the amount

accrued shall be reduced by the amount of Converted Interest. Any
such notice of election to convert shall constitute a contract
between the holder of this Promissory Note and the Company, whereby
such holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of shares
of Common Stock which it shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion, and in payment and satisfaction of such subscription,
to release the Company from all liability with respect to

Request and (Z) Converted Interest, from the and including the
date on which the Conversion Request is received. The Company shall

Page 3
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
Amount shall
constitute full payment for the shares of Common Stock so
subscribed for and to be issued upon such conversion. The
Company’s liability for any principal which is not Converted
Principal and any accrued and unpaid interest which is not
Converted Interest, shall continue in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(iii) Subject

fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e). Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior
to the close of business on the date on which the Company shall
have received such Conversion Request and this Promissory Note. Any
and all interest on the Converted Principal shall cease to accrue
pursuant to this Promissory Note from the date of receipt of the
Conversion Request. The holder of this Promissory Note shall be
deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the
shares of Common Stock issuable to such holder upon such
conversion; provided, however , that any such surrender on
any date when the securities transfer books of the Company shall be
closed shall not be deemed to constitute the holder of this
Promissory Note as the record holder thereof for any purpose until
the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such
securities transfer books shall be open.
(iv) Upon
the election of the Company to convert this Promissory Note at the
occurrence of the closing of the transaction or series of related
transactions specified in Section 2(b)(ii), all then
outstanding principal and all then accrued and unpaid interest on
this Promissory Note shall be converted without any further action
by the holder and whether or not this Promissory Note is
surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue to the
holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion unless this Promissory Note is delivered
either to the Company or to the transfer agent of the Company.
Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the
occurrence of the closing of the transactions or series of related
transactions specified in Section 2(b)(ii). As soon as
practicable after the surrender of this Promissory Note as
specified in this Section 2(d), the Company shall issue and
deliver to or upon the written order of the holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled and a check or cash in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e) hereof. No interest
shall accrue on and after such conversion date. The holder shall be
deemed to become on such conversion date the holder of record of
the shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder upon such
conversion.
(v) Upon
the occurrence of the closing of the public offering specified in
Section 2(b)(iii), all then outstanding principal and all then
accrued and unpaid interest on this Promissory Note shall be
converted automatically without any further action by the holder
and whether or not this Promissory Note is surrendered to the
Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to issue to the holder certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion

the public

offering
specified in Section 2(b)(iii). As soon as practicable after
the surrender of this Promissory Note as specified in this
Section 2(d), the Company shall issue and deliver to or upon
the written order of the holder a certificate or certificates for
the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is
entitled and a check or cash in respect of any fraction of a share
as provided in Section 2(e) hereof. No interest shall accrue on and
after such conversion date. The holder shall be deemed to become on
such conversion date the holder of record of the shares of Common
Stock issuable to the holder upon such conversion.
(e) The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon
conversion of this Promissory Note (or portion thereof). If any
fractional interest in a share shall be deliverable upon the
conversion of this Promissory Note (or portion thereof), the
Company shall purchase such fractional interest for an amount in
cash equal to the Conversion Price times the amount of such
fractional interest.
(f) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(i) If
the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof (the “ Original Issue Date ”) effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any
time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such combination
shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
Section 2(f)(i) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(ii) If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the
Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than through
an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or combination of
shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or
sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this
Section 2(f) ), in any such event the holder hereof
shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind
and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by
holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which
such shares of Common Stock could have been converted immediately
prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to
such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(iii) If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date,
there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a
recapitalization or subdivision, combination, reclassification,
exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this
Section 2(f)) , as a part of such capital reorganization,
provision shall be made so that the holder hereof shall thereafter
be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
exercise immediately prior to such event would have been entitled
as a result of such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment
in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made
Page 5
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
in the
application of the provisions of this Section 2(f) with
respect to the rights of the holder hereof after the capital
reorganization to the end that the provisions of this
Section 2(f) (including adjustment of the Conversion
Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly
equivalent as practicable.
(iv) Anything
in this Section 2 to the contrary notwithstanding, all
calculations under this Section 2(f) shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest whole share (as provided in
Section 2(e) ), as the case may be. Any provision of
this Section 2(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, no
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of
such adjustment would be less than one percent, but any such amount
shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto
shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent
adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one percent or
more.
(v) In
the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the types
described in Section 2(f), the Company shall give notice to
the holder of this Promissory Note, which notice shall specify the
record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the date
on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set
forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably
necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such
effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Conversion
Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities
or property which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the
occurrence of such action or deliverable upon conversion of this
Promissory Note. In the case of any action that would require the
fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten
days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action,
such notice shall be given at least ten days prior to the taking of
such proposed action.
(vi) All
shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion
provisions set forth herein shall be, upon issuance by the Company,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens or charges with respect thereto created or imposed by
the Company.
(vii) The
Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion
of this Promissory Note.
(g) Whenever
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions of Section 2(f) hereof, the Company shall forthwith mail
a certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or readjustment is based to the holder of this Promissory Note at
such holder’s address as it appears herein or at the last
address of which the holder has given the Company written notice,
but failure to receive such notice, or any defects therein, or in
the mailing thereof, shall not affect such adjustment in Conversion
Price. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of
the holder of this Promissory Note, furnish or cause to be
furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(a) such adjustments and readjustments, (b) the
Conversion Price at that time in effect, and (c) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property
which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this
Promissory Note.

the holder hereof the outstanding principal balance to be prepaid,

Section 2.
(b) (i) Subject
to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2,
the holder of this Promissory Note may, at its option, by surrender
of this Promissory Note as hereinafter provided, convert all or any
portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Promissory
Note, and all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest on
this Promissory Note, into such number of shares of Common Stock as
is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion
Price.
(ii) Subject
to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2,
the Company may, at its option, require conversion of all (but not
less than all) of the outstanding principal amount of this
Promissory Note, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into
such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing
the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price upon the occurrence
of a transaction or series of related transactions in which the
Company sells capital stock of the Company at a purchase price of
$5.00 per share or higher and with gross proceeds to the Company
equal to or exceeding $25,000,000.00
(iii) All
then outstanding principal and all then accrued and unpaid interest
on this Promissory Note shall automatically be converted, without
any further act of the Company or the holder, at the Conversion
Price then in effect, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by such
Conversion Price, upon the closing of a public offering pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, covering the offering and sale of shares of
Common Stock, or of any equity security that as part of a unit or
otherwise includes Common Stock, for the account of the Company, in
which the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company equals
or exceeds $25,000,000.00 and in which the public offering price
per share of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $5.00 per
share.
(c)
Subject to the other provisions of this Promissory Note, the option
of the holder of this Promissory Note or the Company for conversion
of this Promissory Note may be
Page 12
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
exercised at
any time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending
upon the repayment in full of the principal of this Promissory
Note.
(d) The
surrender of this Promissory Note for conversion shall be made by
the holder hereof to the Company at its office in Houston, Texas,
accompanied by written notice to the Company in the form of the
Conversion Request attached as Annex 1 to this Promissory
Note (the “Conversion Request”) that such holder elects
to convert the Converted Principal of this Promissory Note, and the
Converted Interest on this Promissory Note, in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
(i) If
the Conversion Amount is equal to all principal outstanding on this
Promissory Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest on this
Promissory Note on the date the Conversion Request is made, then
upon surrender of this Promissory Note for conversion, it shall be
marked “Paid in Full”. Any such notice of election to
convert shall constitute a contract between the holder of this
Promissory Note and the Company, whereby such holder shall be
deemed to subscribe for the number of shares of Common Stock which
it shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, and in
payment and satisfaction of such subscription, to surrender this
Promissory Note and to release the Company from all liability
hereon, including interest accruing, after the date of the receipt
of the Conversion Request, and whereby the Company shall be deemed
to agree that the surrender of such Promissory Note and the
extinguishment of liability hereon shall constitute full payment
for the shares of Common Stock so subscribed for and to be issued
upon such conversion.
(ii) If
the Conversion Amount is less than the sum of all outstanding
principal on this Promissory Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest on this Promissory Note on the date the Conversion Request
is made, then upon surrender of this Promissory Note for
conversion, (A) the principal amount of this Promissory Note
as shown on Schedule 1 hereto shall be reduced by the amount
of Converted Principal and (B) the unpaid interest then
accrued shall be reduced by the amount of Converted Interest. Any
such notice of election to convert shall constitute a contract
between the holder of this Promissory Note and the Company, whereby
such holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of shares
of Common Stock which it shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion, and in payment and satisfaction of such subscription,
to release the Company from all liability with respect to
(X) the Converted Principal, (Y) interest accruing on the
Converted Principal after the date of the receipt of the Conversion
Request and (Z) Converted Interest, from the and including the
date on which the Conversion Request is received. The Company shall
be deemed to agree that the Conversion Amount shall constitute full
payment for the shares of Common Stock so subscribed for and to be
issued upon such conversion. The Company’s liability for any
principal which is not Converted Principal and any accrued and
unpaid interest which is not Converted Interest, shall continue in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(iii) Subject
to the further provisions of this Section 2, as soon as
practicable after the receipt of such Conversion Request, and this
Promissory Note, if applicable, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver at said office to such holder (A) a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of this Promissory Note in accordance with the
provisions hereof and (B) a check or cash in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e). Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
Page 13
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
immediately
prior to the close of business on the date on which the Company
shall have received such Conversion Request and this Promissory
Note. Any and all interest on the Converted Principal shall cease
to accrue pursuant to this Promissory Note from the date of receipt
of the Conversion Request. The holder of this Promissory Note shall
be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the
shares of Common Stock issuable to such holder upon such
conversion; provided, however , that any such surrender on
any date when the securities transfer books of the Company shall be
closed shall not be deemed to constitute the holder of this
Promissory Note as the record holder thereof for any purpose until
the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such
securities transfer books shall be open.
(iv) Upon
the election of the Company to convert this Promissory Note at the
occurrence of the closing of the transaction or series of related
transactions specified in Section 2(b)(ii), all then
outstanding principal and all then accrued and unpaid interest on
this Promissory Note shall be converted without any further action
by the holder and whether or not this Promissory Note is
surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue to the
holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion unless this Promissory Note is delivered
either to the Company or to the transfer agent of the Company.
Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the
occurrence of the closing of the transactions or series of related
transactions specified in Section 2(b)(ii). As soon as
practicable after the surrender of this Promissory Note as
specified in this Section 2(d), the Company shall issue and
deliver to or upon the written order of the holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled and a check or cash in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e) hereof. No interest
shall accrue on and after such conversion date. The holder shall be
deemed to become on such conversion date the holder of record of
the shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder upon such
conversion.
(v) Upon
the occurrence of the closing of the public offering specified in
Section 2(b)(iii), all then outstanding principal and all then
accrued and unpaid interest on this Promissory Note shall be
converted automatically without any further action by the holder
and whether or not this Promissory Note is surrendered to the
Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to issue to the holder certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
unless this Promissory Note is delivered either to the Company or
to the transfer agent of the Company. Conversion shall be deemed to
have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the closing of
the public offering specified in Section 2(b)(iii). As soon as
practicable after the surrender of this Promissory Note as
specified in this Section 2(d), the Company shall issue and
deliver to or upon the written order of the holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled and a check or cash in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e) hereof. No interest
shall accrue on and after such conversion date. The holder shall be
deemed to become on such conversion date the holder of record of
the shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder upon such
conversion.
(e) The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon
conversion of this Promissory Note (or portion thereof). If any
fractional interest in a share shall be deliverable upon the
conversion of this Promissory Note (or portion thereof), the
Company
Page 14
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
shall purchase
such fractional interest for an amount in cash equal to the
Conversion Price times the amount of such fractional
interest.
(f) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(i) If
the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof (the “ Original Issue Date ”) effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any
time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such combination
shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
Section 2(f)(i) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(ii) If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the
Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than through
an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or combination of
shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or
sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this
Section 2(f) ), in any such event the holder hereof
shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind
and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by
holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which
such shares of Common Stock could have been converted immediately
prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to
such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(iii) If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date,
there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a
recapitalization or subdivision, combination, reclassification,
exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this
Section 2(f)) , as a part of such capital reorganization,
provision shall be made so that the holder hereof shall thereafter
be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
exercise immediately prior to such event would have been entitled
as a result of such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment
in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application
of the provisions of this Section 2(f) with respect to
the rights of the holder hereof after the capital reorganization to
the end that the provisions of this Section 2(f)
(including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and
the number of shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable
after that event and be as nearly equivalent as
practicable.
(iv) Anything
in this Section 2 to the contrary notwithstanding, all
calculations under this Section 2(f) shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest whole share (as provided in
Section 2(e) ), as the case may be. Any provision of
this Section 2(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, no
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of
such adjustment would be less than one percent, but any such amount
shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto
shall be made at the time of and together with any
Page 15
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
subsequent
adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one percent or
more.
(v) In
the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the types
described in Section 2(f), the Company shall give notice to
the holder of this Promissory Note, which notice shall specify the
record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the date
on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set
forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably
necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such
effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Conversion
Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities
or property which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the
occurrence of such action or deliverable upon conversion of this
Promissory Note. In the case of any action that would require the
fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten
days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action,
such notice shall be given at least ten days prior to the taking of
such proposed action.
(vi) All
shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion
provisions set forth herein shall be, upon issuance by the Company,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens or charges with respect thereto created or imposed by
the Company.
(vii) The
Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion
of this Promissory Note.
(g) Whenever
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions of Section 2(f) hereof, the Company shall forthwith mail
a certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or readjustment is based to the holder of this Promissory Note at
such holder’s address as it appears herein or at the last
address of which the holder has given the Company written notice,
but failure to receive such notice, or any defects therein, or in
the mailing thereof, shall not affect such adjustment in Conversion
Price. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of
the holder of this Promissory Note, furnish or cause to be
furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(a) such adjustments and readjustments, (b) the
Conversion Price at that time in effect, and (c) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property
which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this
Promissory Note.
8.
Prepayment . The Company may prepay, upon 10 Business
Days’ prior written notice, its obligations pursuant to this
Promissory Note, in whole or in part, at any time by tendering to
the holder hereof the outstanding principal balance to be prepaid,
together with accrued but unpaid interest on such principal being
prepaid. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is acknowledged and
agreed to by the Company that the holder hereof may exercise its
conversion rights pursuant to Section 2 hereof at any time
prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the proposed
date of such prepayment, whether before or after receipt of such
prepayment notice from the Company.

Conversion Request attached as Annex 1 to this Promissory
Note (the “Conversion Request”) that such holder elects
to convert the Converted Principal of this Promissory Note, and the
Converted Interest on this Promissory Note, in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
(i) If
the Conversion Amount is equal to all principal outstanding on this
Promissory Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest on this
Promissory Note on the date the Conversion Request is made, then
upon surrender of this Promissory Note for conversion, it shall be
marked “Paid in Full”. Any such notice of election to
convert shall constitute a contract between the holder of this
Promissory Note and the Company, whereby such holder shall be
deemed to subscribe for the number of shares of Common Stock which
it shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, and in
payment and satisfaction of such subscription, to surrender this
Promissory Note and to release the Company from all liability
hereon, including interest accruing, after the date of the receipt
of the Conversion Request, and whereby the Company shall be deemed
to agree that the surrender of such Promissory Note and the
extinguishment of liability hereon shall constitute full payment
for the shares of Common Stock so subscribed for and to be issued
upon such conversion.
(ii) If
the Conversion Amount is less than the sum of all outstanding
principal on this Promissory Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest on this Promissory Note on the date the Conversion Request
is made, then upon surrender of this Promissory Note for
conversion, (A) the principal amount of this Promissory Note
as shown on Schedule 1 hereto shall be reduced by the amount
of Converted Principal and (B) the unpaid interest then
accrued shall be reduced by the amount of Converted Interest. Any
such notice of election to convert shall constitute a contract
between the holder of this Promissory Note and the Company, whereby
such holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of shares
of Common Stock which it shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion, and in payment and satisfaction of such subscription,
to release the Company from all liability with respect to
(X) the Converted Principal, (Y) interest accruing on the
Converted Principal after the date of the receipt of the Conversion
Request and (Z) Converted Interest, from the and including the
date on which the Conversion Request is received. The Company shall
be deemed to agree that the Conversion Amount shall constitute full
payment for the shares of Common Stock so subscribed for and to be
issued upon such conversion. The Company’s liability for any
principal which is not Converted Principal and any accrued and
unpaid interest which is not Converted Interest, shall continue in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(iii) Subject
to the further provisions of this Section 2, as soon as
practicable after the receipt of such Conversion Request, and this
Promissory Note, if applicable, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver at said office to such holder (A) a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of this Promissory

Note in
accordance with the provisions hereof and (B) a check or cash
in respect of any fraction of a share as provided in
Section 2(e). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on
which the Company shall have received such Conversion Request and
this Promissory Note. Any and all interest on the Converted
Principal shall cease to accrue pursuant to this Promissory Note
from the date of receipt of the Conversion Request. The holder of
this Promissory Note shall be deemed to have become on said date
the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable to such
holder upon such conversion; provided, however , that any
such surrender on any date when the securities transfer books of
the Company shall be closed shall not be deemed to constitute the
holder of this Promissory Note as the record holder thereof for any
purpose until the close of business on the next succeeding day on
which such securities transfer books shall be open.
(iv) Upon
the election of the Company to convert this Promissory Note at the
occurrence of the closing of the transaction or series of related
transactions specified in Section 2(b)(ii), all then
outstanding principal and all then accrued and unpaid interest on
this Promissory Note shall be converted without any further action
by the holder and whether or not this Promissory Note is
surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue to the
holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion unless this Promissory Note is delivered
either to the Company or to the transfer agent of the Company.
Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the
occurrence of the closing of the transactions or series of related
transactions specified in Section 2(b)(ii). As soon as
practicable after the surrender of this Promissory Note as
specified in this Section 2(d), the Company shall issue and
deliver to or upon the written order of the holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled and a check or cash in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e) hereof. No interest
shall accrue on and after such conversion date. The holder shall be
deemed to become on such conversion date the holder of record of
the shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder upon such
conversion.
(v) Upon
the occurrence of the closing of the public offering specified in
Section 2(b)(iii), all then outstanding principal and all then
accrued and unpaid interest on this Promissory Note shall be
converted automatically without any further action by the holder
and whether or not this Promissory Note is surrendered to the
Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to issue to the holder certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
unless this Promissory Note is delivered either to the Company or
to the transfer agent of the Company. Conversion shall be deemed to
have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the closing of
the public offering specified in Section 2(b)(iii). As soon as
practicable after the surrender of this Promissory Note as
specified in this Section 2(d), the Company shall issue and
deliver to or upon the written order of the holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled and a check or cash in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided in Section 2(e) hereof. No interest
shall accrue on and after such conversion date. The holder shall be
deemed to become on such conversion date the holder of record of
the shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder upon such
conversion.

(e) The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon
conversion of this Promissory Note (or portion thereof). If any
fractional interest in a share shall be deliverable upon the
conversion of this Promissory Note (or portion thereof), the
Company shall purchase such fractional interest for an amount in
cash equal to the Conversion Price times the amount of such
fractional interest.
(f) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(i) If
the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof (the “ Original Issue Date ”) effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any
time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such combination
shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
Section 2(f)(i) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(ii) If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the
Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than through
an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or combination of
shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or
sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this
Section 2(f) ), in any such event the holder hereof
shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind
and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by
holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which
such shares of Common Stock could have been converted immediately
prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to
such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(iii) If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date,
there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a
recapitalization or subdivision, combination, reclassification,
exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this
Section 2(f)) , as a part of such capital reorganization,
provision shall be made so that the holder hereof shall thereafter
be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
exercise immediately prior to such event would have been entitled
as a result of such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment
in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application
of the provisions of this Section 2(f) with respect to
the rights of the holder hereof after the capital reorganization to
the end that the provisions of this Section 2(f)
(including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and
the number of shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable
after that event and be as nearly equivalent as
practicable.
(iv) Anything
in this Section 2 to the contrary notwithstanding, all
calculations under this Section 2(f) shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest whole share (as provided in
Section 2(e) ), as the case may be. Any provision of
this Section 2(f) to the
Page 25
Issued: January 6, 2006
Effective as of: August 19, 2005
contrary
notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be
made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one
percent, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an
adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such
amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall
aggregate one percent or more.
(v) In
the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the types
described in Section 2(f), the Company shall give notice to
the holder of this Promissory Note, which notice shall specify the
record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the date
on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set
forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably
necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such
effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Conversion
Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities
or property which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the
occurrence of such action or deliverable upon conversion of this
Promissory Note. In the case of any action that would require the
fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten
days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action,
such notice shall be given at least ten days prior to the taking of
such proposed action.
(vi) All
shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion
provisions set forth herein shall be,
