Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest thereon
accruing on and from the date hereof until the entire Balance is paid, at an annual rate (subject to Section 6 below) equal to

This promissory note (the “Note”)
is issued by the Borrower pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase
Agreement”), entered into between the Borrower and the Lender, and is subject to, and Borrower and Lender shall be
bound by, all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement. This Note shall become due and payable on the earlier
of April 1, 2012 or the date that is six (6) months following the date of the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (such
earlier date being the “Maturity Date”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.


The following is a statement of the rights
of Lender and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject and to which the Lender, by acceptance of this Note, agrees:


1.                  
Payment. The principal amount of this Note, all accrued and unpaid interest and all
other amounts accrued under this Note shall, on the Maturity Date, be payable in cash. No interest shall be payable other than
as set forth in the preceding sentence. All payments on account of principal and interest shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America at the principal office of the Lender, or such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time
designate in writing to the Borrower.


2.                  
Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part before it becomes due
but in the event this Note is prepaid in whole prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall be required to prepay interest on the
entire principal amount of this Note through the Maturity Date. 


3.                  
Application of Payments. All payments will be applied first to the repayment

4.                  
Transfer and Exchange. The holder of this Note may, prior to the Maturity Date, surrender
such Note at the principal office of the Borrower for transfer or exchange. Within a reasonable time after notice to the Borrower
from such holder of its intention to make such exchange and without expense to such holder, except for any transfer or similar
tax which may be imposed on the transfer or exchange, the Borrower shall issue in exchange therefor another note or notes for the
same aggregate principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered, having the same maturity and rate of
interest, containing the same provisions and subject to the same terms and conditions as the Note so surrendered. Each new Note
shall be made payable to such person or persons, or transferees, as the holder of such surrendered Note may designate, and such
transfer or exchange shall be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest shall result therefrom. The Borrower
may elect not to permit a transfer of the Note if it has not obtained reasonably satisfactory assurance that such transfer: (a) is
exempt from the registration requirements of, or covered by an effective registration statement under, the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (b) is in compliance with all applicable state securities laws, including
without limitation receipt of an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. 


5.                  
New Note. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, the Borrower will issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount and dated the date to
which interest has been paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, and in such event the Lender agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower in respect of any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

or composition or readjustment of debt, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or the like relief in respect of the
Borrower or all or any substantial part of the assets of the Borrower, or other like relief in respect of the Borrower under any
law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up, or composition or adjustment of debts; and, if the proceeding
