2.5.  Manner of Payment .  All payments and prepayments of principal and interest shall be made by wire of immediately available funds as directed by Lender pursuant to written instructions provided to Borrower from time to time.  If any payment of principal or interest required hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable hereunder.  All payments and prepayments shall be credited first to accrued and unpaid interest, and then to the outstanding principal amount of Advances.

2.6.  Prepayments .

(a)                                   Optional Prepayments .  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreements, Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance due under the Note and any interest accrued thereon, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, provided that Borrower shall have given Lender not less than one (1) Business Day prior written notice of its intent to so prepay, and the amount of such prepayment.  Any such prepayment shall not reduce the Commitment unless so requested in writing by Borrower.

(i)                                      in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto, to purchase shares of Common Stock, exercisable in the sole discretion of the holder thereof.  Such Warrants shall entitle, but not obligate, the holder thereof to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock of Borrower at an exercise price of $.01 per share.

(ii)                                   in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached hereto, to purchase shares of Common Stock, exercisable in the sole discretion of the holder thereof.  Such Warrants shall entitle, but not obligate, the holder thereof to purchase 62,500 shares of Common Stock of Borrower at an exercise price equal to 85% of the trailing ten-day average closing price of Common Stock of the Borrower on the date prior to the Closing Date.

(b)                                  Usage Fee Warrants .  Lender shall receive, in connection with each Advance, warrants (such warrants, the “ Usage Fee Warrants ”), in the form of Exhibit B-3 attached hereto, to purchase shares of Common Stock, exercisable in the sole discretion of the holder thereof.  Such Usage Fee Warrants shall entitle, but not obligate, the holder thereof to purchase 31.25 shares of Common Stock of Borrower for each $1,000 in principal subject to such Advance, at an exercise price of $.01 per share; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, Usage Fee Warrants shall only be issuable with respect to incremental Advances which result in an increase of the aggregate principal Indebtedness under this Agreement in excess of the previous maximum amount of  aggregate principal Indebtedness incurred by Borrower under this Agreement.  By way of example, if (i) Borrower initially receives an advance of $2,000,000, Lender would be entitled to Usage Fee Warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of Common Stock and (ii) Borrower subsequently prepays such advances and thereafter receives Advances of $5,000,000, Lender would be entitled to receive additional Usage Fee Warrants to purchase 93,750 shares of Common Stock (correlating to the $3,000,000 of Indebtedness in excess of the previously borrowed $2,000,000 of Indebtedness).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) Lender has received Usage Fee Warrants to purchase more than 187,500 shares of Common Stock (the “ Usage Fee Cap ”) (as a result of Advances in excess of $6,000,000) and (ii) that, on or prior to May 15, 2007, the Commitment is reduced to $6,000,000 and the mandatory prepayment has been paid, each as required by Section 2.6(b)(i), then Lender shall automatically upon such reduction forfeit and return to Borrower for cancellation any Usage Fee Warrants issued to it in excess of the Usage Fee Cap (and, to the extent Lender has exercised any such Usage Fee Warrants which it would have been required to forfeit and return to Borrower as provided in this sentence, Lender shall forfeit and return to Borrower for cancellation the shares of Common Stock issued to it upon exercise of such Usage Fee Warrants).

(c)                                   Registrable Securities .  All of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants thereof, shall constitute Registrable Securities under Borrower’s Registration Rights Agreement with Lender dated November 8, 2005.

3.                                       CLOSING; DELIVERIES; conditions to Advance.
