Security Interest. As security for the indebtedness, liabilities, and other obligations of the Company to Lender hereunder, the Company hereby grants a security interest in favor of Lender in and to the following specific equipment:

The Notes . The Company has duly authorized and, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, will issue to the Lender at each Closing as hereinafter defined, as evidence of the loans to be made pursuant to this Agreement three secured convertible notes, each in the principal sum of $250,000, and with principal and any accrued, unpaid interest to be due thirty-six (36) months after the date of issuance, being the date of advance of funds by the Lender under each respective note, and convertible at the Lender’s election into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, at a fixed conversion price of $0.40 per share (collectively called the “ Notes ” and each individually a “ Note ”). The Notes will be issued in the basic form attached as Exhibit “A” and will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from date of advance of funds thereunder, which interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter commencing July 1, 2008. The interest may, in the Company’s discretion be paid either in cash or by the issuance of a number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, corresponding to an aggregate market value of shares that is 110% of the amount of interest otherwise payable in cash. The market value of such shares shall be established by the five day average closing price for a share of the common stock of the Company through and including the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the payment is due. The Company hereby agrees and the Notes will reflect that the Company’s issuance of any new securities to parties other than Lender or Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd. (and its co-investors under January 2008 debentures) convertible into shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value, at a conversion price which is below $0.32 per share (adjusted to reflect any stock splits or recapitalization transactions) will constitute an Event of Default, after which the Lender may by issuance of written notice sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, elect to declare the full amount of principal and interest owing on the Notes to be in default, unless the Company agrees to adjust the conversion price applicable under the terms of the Notes and/or agree upon other modifications to the Notes acceptable to Lender as an adjustment to equalize the conversion price terms hereof with those of the subsequently issued securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing conversion price terms (or the exercise price terms of the warrants described in 3.2 below), in the event that Lender fails to provide the total agreed funding aggregating $750,000, any Note issued hereunder shall automatically and without further action by either party be deemed amended to substitute a fixed conversion price of $0.75 per share, and any warrant attached to such Note as described below in 3.2 will automatically be deemed amended to substitute a fixed exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The Warrants . The Company has duly authorized and will issue to the Lender concurrently with each incremental closing (being the date of advance of funds under each separate Note) common stock purchase warrants aggregating 625,000 shares each, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. Additionally, the Company has authorized and agreed to issue conditionally to the Lender a common stock purchase warrant to acquire an aggregate 1,875,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00, in the event that, but only in the event that: (i) Lender has fulfilled its commitment to advance an aggregate $750,000, and (ii) the Company has requested and Lender has concurrently released pursuant to the Company’s request, Lender’s Collateral pledged hereunder to secure the loans evidenced by the Notes as an accommodation for purposes described in Section 2 above. In the event that such conditional warrant is required to be issued, it shall be dated on the date Lender effectively releases Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and will be exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the date of issuance thereof and ending on the fifth (5 ^th ) consecutive anniversary of the Closing Date. The form of warrant to be issued concurrently with each Note is attached in the form of Exhibit “B”, and the form of warrant conditionally issuable if the Company is unable or declines to substitute collateral is attached as Exhibit “C”.

Lender acknowledges that the Company has listed its common stock on the American Stock Exchange and understands that the issuance of the shares underlying the Notes and warrants to purchase securities hereunder is subject to the prior approval of the American Stock Exchange of such listing and any approval requirements by the shareholders of the Company which the American Stock Exchange may require. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure any and all required approvals of shareholders but shall not be deemed in default or breach if and to the extent such shareholder approval is withheld or deferred or required to be re-submitted to shareholders for approval at a later date.

Closings . On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender hereby agrees to sell and issue on or about the date specified in Section 1 above, the applicable Note dated as of the date of advance of funds by Lender to evidence the incremental amount then advanced pursuant to each respective Note, each such funding date being referred to herein as a “Closing”.

Deliveries at Closings . At each Closing, the Company will deliver to the Lender: 1) the applicable Note due thirty-six (36) months after date as described in Section 3.1 above in exchange for Lender’s cash advance in good and sufficient funds, and 2) the five year purchase warrant attached to the respective Note having an exercise price of $0.80 per share and 3) at the third and final Closing, provided that Lender has advanced an aggregate $750,000, the form of warrant attached as Exhibit “C” covering an aggregate 1,875,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00, such delivery and issuance to remain subject to the requirements of the American Stock Exchange for actual issuance of the underlying shares upon conversion or exercise of debentures and options, including the obtaining of any approval of shareholders that may subsequently be determined to be required.
