(a)
Payment in Cash or Common Stock . If the Monthly
Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the
Monthly Amount may be converted into shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3.2) is required to be paid in cash
pursuant to Section 2.1(b), then the Company shall pay the
Holder an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Monthly Amount (or
such portion of such Monthly Amount to be paid in cash) due and
owing to the Holder on the Amortization Date. If the Monthly
Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the
Monthly Amount may be converted into shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3.2) is required to be paid in shares of
Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the number of such
shares to be issued by the Company to the Holder on such
Amortization Date (in respect of such portion of the Monthly Amount
converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to
Section 2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by dividing
(i) the portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of
Common Stock, by (ii) the then applicable Fixed Conversion
Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6
hereof, the initial “ Fixed Conversion Price ” means $
0.65.
(b)
Monthly Amount Conversion Conditions . Subject to
Sections 2.1(a), 2.2, and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert
into shares of Common Stock all or a portion of the Monthly Amount
due on each Amortization Date if the following conditions (the
“ Conversion
Criteria ”) are satisfied:
(i) the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported
by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five
(5) trading days immediately preceding such Amortization Date
shall be greater than or equal to 110% of the Fixed Conversion
Price and (ii) the amount of such conversion does not exceed
twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the
Common Stock for the period of twenty-two (22) trading days
immediately preceding such Amortization Date. If
subsection (i) of the Conversion Criteria is met but
subsection (ii) of the Conversion Criteria is not met as
to the entire Monthly Amount, the Holder shall convert only such
part of the Monthly Amount that meets subsection (ii) of
the Conversion Criteria. Any portion of the Monthly Amount
due on an Amortization Date that the Holder has not been able to
convert into shares of Common Stock due to the failure to meet the
Conversion Criteria, shall be paid in cash by the Company at the
rate of 100% of the Monthly Amount otherwise due on such
Amortization Date, within three (3) business days of such
Amortization Date.
2.2
No Effective Registration . Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, none of the Company’s obligations to
the Holder may be converted into Common Stock

Stock to be issued in connection with satisfaction of such
obligations exists or (ii) an exemption from registration for
resale of all of the Common Stock issued and issuable is available
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act and (b) no
Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists and is continuing,
unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure
period or otherwise waived in writing by the Holder.

Optional Redemption in Cash . The Company may prepay
this Note (“ Optional
Redemption ”) by paying to the
Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%)
of the Principal Amount outstanding at such time together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due,
accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the
Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (the
“ Redemption
Amount ”) outstanding on the
Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Company shall
deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the
“ Notice of
Redemption ”) specifying the date
for such Optional Redemption (the “ Redemption Payment Date ”), which date shall be
ten (10) business days after the date of the Notice of
Redemption (the “ Redemption Period ”). A Notice of
Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of
this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of
Conversion (as hereinafter defined) or for conversions elected to
be made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.3 during the
Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined
as if the Holder’s conversion elections had been completed
immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On
the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in
good funds to the Holder. In the event the Company fails to
pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set
