3.1           Conversion Option .  At any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date:

(a)           up to Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars of the outstanding principal balance of this Note (the “ First Conversion Tranche ”) shall be convertible (in whole or in part and from time to time), at the option of the Holder (the “ First Conversion Option ”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “ First Conversion Rate ”) as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the First Conversion Tranche as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the First Tranche 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 (614) 793-7520, Attn.: Brent L. Larson, Vice President - Finance) (the “ Conversion Date ”); and

(b)           up to an additional Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars of the outstanding principal balance of this Note (the “ Second Conversion Tranche ”) shall be convertible (in whole or in part and from time to time), at the option of the Holder (the “ Second Conversion Option ”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “ Second Conversion Rate ”) as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the Second Conversion Tranche as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Second Tranche Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) then in effect on the Conversion Date,

provided, however, that the First and Second Tranche Conversion Prices shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.5 below.  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.

3.2            Conversion Price . The term “ First Tranche Conversion Price ” shall mean $0.26, subject to adjustment under Section 3.5 hereof. The term “ Second Tranche Conversion Price ” shall mean $0.9722, subject to adjustment under Section 3.5 hereof. The First and Second Tranche Conversion Prices are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “ Conversion Prices .”

3.3            Mechanics of Conversion .

(a)           Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee.  In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “ Delivery Date ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Maker or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such conversion is in connection with a sale by the Holder and the Holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements or an exemption from such registration requirements (each as evidenced by documentation furnished to and reasonably satisfactory to the Maker). If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the 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 certificate or certificates thereafter, 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 (or, if applicable, certificates), or fails to deliver unlegended certificates representing such shares if required pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof, 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 or certificates are delivered (if applicable), together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% 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 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.

3.4            Ownership Cap and Certain Conversion Restrictions .

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which 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 4.99% 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 4.1 hereof) (the “ Waiver Notice ”) that the Holder waives the limitations contained  in this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion 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 Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, 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 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time;  provided,  however, that upon the Holder providing the Maker with a Waiver Notice that the Holder waives the limitations contained in this Section 3.4(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.
