Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 27.
(1)ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT; PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Note was issued at an original issue discount.  On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing 100% of the Outstanding Amount.  The Holder and the Company acknowledge and agree that if the Holder shall enter into the Primary Financing SPA, the Holder shall 








offset the purchase price otherwise payable by the Holder to the Company pursuant to the Primary Financing SPA, by an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount under this Note, and, upon such set-off, the portion of this Note equal to the Outstanding Amount shall be deemed to have been paid in its entirety and all obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be fully satisfied without any further obligations on, or liability to, the Company. If the Holder offsets the purchase price under the Primary Financing SPA as contemplated in this Section 1, the purchase price payable by the Holder to the Company pursuant to the Primary Financing SPA shall be reduced by the Outstanding Amount so deemed satisfied pursuant to this Section 1. 
(2)PREPAYMENTS.  
(a)Optional Prepayment.  The Company may prepay (each, an "Optional Prepayment") the Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium by paying the Outstanding Amount being prepaid at a price equal to 150% of the Outstanding Amount being prepaid (the "Optional Prepayment Price"); provided, however, that the aggregate Outstanding Amount under this Note and the Other Notes being prepaid in any Optional Prepayment pursuant to this Section 2(a) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) shall be at least $250,000, or such lesser amount that then remains outstanding under this Note and the Other Notes.  The Company may exercise its right to prepay the Note under this Section 2(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder and all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Other Notes (an "Optional Prepayment Notice" and the date all of the holders of the Notes received such notice is referred to as the "Optional Prepayment Notice Date"). Each Optional Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable.  Each Optional Prepayment Notice shall (i) state the date on which the Optional Prepayment shall occur (the "Optional Prepayment Date"), which date shall not be less than two (2) Business Days nor more than fifteen (15) Business Days following such Optional Prepayment Notice Date and (ii) state the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes which the Company has elected to be subject to Optional Prepayment from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Other Notes pursuant to this Section 2(a) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) on the Optional Prepayment Date.
(b)Mandatory Prepayments.  At any time and from time to time after the Issuance Date, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries consummates an Alternative Transaction (the date of the consummation of such Alternative Transaction, the "Mandatory Prepayment Event Date"), the Company shall be required to redeem all, but not less than all, the Outstanding Amount then outstanding under this Note and the Other Notes on the Mandatory Prepayment Date (as defined below) (the "Mandatory Prepayment" and together with an Optional Prepayment, a "Prepayment"). The portion of this Note subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be prepaid by the Company in cash at a price equal to 150% of the Outstanding Amount being prepaid (the "Mandatory Prepayment Price" and together with an Optional Prepayment Price, a "Prepayment Price").  The Company shall effect the Mandatory Prepayment under this Section 2(b) by delivering a written notice thereof within no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Event Date by electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder and all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Other Notes (the "Mandatory Prepayment Notice").  The Mandatory Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable.  The Mandatory Prepayment Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Mandatory Prepayment shall occur (the "Mandatory Prepayment Date" and together with an Optional Prepayment Date, a "Prepayment Date") which date shall not be more than two (2) Business Days following the Mandatory Prepayment Event Date and (y) state the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes which is being prepaid in such Mandatory Prepayment from the Holder pursuant to this Section 2(b) and all of the holders of the Other Notes pursuant to analogous provisions under the Other Notes on the Mandatory Prepayment Date.








(c)Pro Rata Prepayment Requirement. If the Company elects to cause an Optional Prepayment of this Note pursuant to Section 2(a) or is required to cause the Mandatory Prepayment pursuant to Section 2(b), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Other Notes, and if any Optional Prepayment of this Note pursuant to this Section 2 is for a portion of this Note, then, it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all of the Other Notes on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes then outstanding.  Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made in accordance with Section 7.  
(d)Conflict. In the event any transaction triggers a redemption pursuant to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) as well as pursuant to Section 5, unless the Holder otherwise elects by written notice to the Company, the provisions of this Section 2 shall govern such transaction.
(3)INTEREST.    From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate.  In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the Interest shall cease to accrue as of the date of such cure; provided, that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default; provided, further, that for the purpose of this Section 3, such Event of Default shall not be deemed cured unless and until any accrued and unpaid Interest shall be paid to the Holder. Interest on this Note, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on the Maturity Date.  Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date or, if such date falls on a day that is not a Business day, the next day that is a Business Day, to the record holder of this Note on the Maturity Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company.  Prior to the payment of Interest on the Maturity Date, Interest on this Note accruing at the Interest Rate, if any, shall be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Outstanding Amount on each Redemption Date. 
(4)REGISTRATION; BOOK-ENTRY.  The Company shall maintain a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the Principal amount of the Notes (and stated interest thereon) held by such holders (the "Registered Notes").  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest, if any, hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.  Upon its receipt of a request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the Holder, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate Principal amount as the Principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 13.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the Holder may assign any Note or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of the Holder or a Related Fund of the Holder without delivering a request to assign or sell the Note to the Company and the recordation of such assignment or sale in the Register; provided, that (x) the Company may continue to deal solely with such assigning or selling Holder unless and until the Holder has delivered a request to assign or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company for recordation in the Register; (y) the failure of such assigning or selling Holder to deliver a request to assign or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment or sale and (z) such assigning or selling Holder shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register (the "Related Party Register") comparable to the Register on 








behalf of the Company, and any such assignment or sale shall be effective upon recordation of such assignment or sale in the Related Party Register.  
(5)RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.
(a)Event of Default.  Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" and each of the events described in clauses (ii) and (iii) shall also constitute a "Bankruptcy Event of Default":
(i)the Company's failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest, Late Charges (as defined in Section 20(b)) or other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without limitation, the Company's failure to pay any redemption amounts hereunder) or any other Transaction Document;

(v)other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 5(a), the Company or any of its Subsidiaries breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of an aggregate of ten (10) Business Days;

(vii)the Company or any Subsidiary shall fail to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained in any Security Document to which it is a party;
(viii)any material provision of any Security Document (as determined in good faith by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary intended to be a party thereto, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any Subsidiary or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or the Company or any Subsidiary shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Security Document;
(ix)any Security Document, after delivery thereof pursuant hereto, shall for any reason fail or cease to create a valid and perfected and, except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority Lien (as defined in Section 10(b)) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Notes on any Collateral purported to be covered thereby, except to the extent the Collateral Agent determines not to pursue perfection of any applicable Lien;
(x)any bank at which any deposit account, blocked account, or lockbox account of the Company is maintained shall fail to comply with any material term of any deposit account, blocked account, lockbox account or similar agreement to which such bank is a party or any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other financial institution at any time in custody, control or possession of any investment property of the Company shall fail to comply with any of the terms of any investment property control agreement to which such Person is a party, and if such failure is capable of remedy, it is not remedied within ten (10) Business Days of such failure (it being understood that only accounts pursuant to which the Collateral Agent has requested account control agreements should be subject to this clause (x));
(xi)any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of the Collateral or a material amount of property of the Company, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if, in each case, any such event or circumstance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(xii)any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than with respect to this Note or any Other Notes, other than the satisfaction of the Permitted Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 5(a)(xii) attached hereto that takes place concurrently with the issuance of the Notes; 
(xiii)a false or inaccurate certification by the Company as to whether any Event of Default has occurred; 








(xiv)any Material Adverse Effect occurs; 
(xv)any default by the Company of the Primary Financing SPA; or
(xvi)any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.
(b)Redemption Right.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (an "Event of Default Notice") to the Holder.  At any time after the earlier of the Holder's receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may until the termination of the applicable Event of Default Redemption Right Period require the Company to redeem (an "Event of Default Redemption") all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the "Event of Default Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem.  Each portion of this Note subject to an Event of Default Redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to 125% of the Outstanding Amount being redeemed (the "Event of Default Redemption Price").  Event of Default Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.  To the extent Event of Default Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such Event of Default Redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.  The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.  Accordingly, any Event of Default Redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(c)Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Event of Default Redemption Price, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other Person, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.  
(6)NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.  








(7)REDEMPTIONS.  
(a)The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Event of Default Redemption Notice (the "Event of Default Redemption Date").  The Company shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to the Holder the applicable Prepayment Price on the applicable Prepayment Date.  The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company on the applicable due date.  In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Outstanding Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed and any accrued Interest on such Principal which shall be calculated as if no Redemption Notice has been delivered.  In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Outstanding Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid.  Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Outstanding Amount and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) to the Holder representing such Outstanding Amount to be redeemed. The Holder's delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Outstanding Amount subject to such notice.
(b)Redemption by Other Holders.  Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 5(b) or pursuant to equivalent provisions set forth in the Other Notes (each, an "Other Redemption Notice"), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail a copy of such notice.  If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the five (5) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all Principal, Interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such five (5) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from the Holder and each holder of the Other Notes (including the Holder) based on the Principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such five (5) Business Day period.
(c)Insufficient Assets.  If upon a Redemption Date, the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price, the Company shall (i) take all appropriate action reasonably within its means to maximize the assets available for paying the applicable Redemption Price, (ii) redeem out of all such assets available therefor on the applicable Redemption Date the maximum possible Outstanding Amount that it can redeem on such date, pro rata among the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes outstanding on the applicable Redemption Date and (iii) following the applicable Redemption Date, at any time and from time to time when additional assets of the 








Company become available to redeem the remaining Outstanding Amounts of this Note and the Other Notes, the Company shall use such assets, at the end of the then current calendar month, to redeem the balance of such Outstanding Amount of this Note and the Other Notes, or such portion thereof for which assets are then available, on the basis set forth above at the applicable Redemption Price, and such assets will not be used prior to the end of such calendar month for any other purpose.  Interest on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes that have not been redeemed shall continue to accrue until such time as the Company redeems this Note and the Other Notes. The Company shall pay to the Holder the applicable Redemption Price without regard to the legal availability of funds unless expressly prohibited by applicable law or unless the payment of the applicable Redemption Price could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to the directors of the Company.
(8)SECURITY.  This Note and the Other Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Security Documents.  
(9)RANK.  All payments due under this Note shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(10)NEGATIVE COVENANTS.  Until all of the Notes have been redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Required Holders to, directly or indirectly:
(a)incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness;
(b)allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, "Liens") other than Permitted Liens;
(c)redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or Cash Equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness (other than this Note and the Other Notes) of the Company or any other Person, whether by way of payment in respect of Principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, such Indebtedness if at the time such payment is due or is otherwise made or, after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or an event or condition that upon notice, lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing;
(d)redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or Cash Equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness (including, without limitation Permitted Indebtedness other than this Note and the Other Notes), by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) such Indebtedness.  For clarity, such restriction shall not preclude the payment of regularly scheduled interest payments which may accrue under such Permitted Indebtedness or the full satisfaction of the Company’s debt to TEP Biotech, LLC and Oppel Greff in the aggregate amount of $280,000;
(e)redeem or repurchase its Equity Interests, other than the redemption of 209,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,

The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein.  Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, redemption and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.

(17)CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS.  This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.  The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.
(18)FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
(19)DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of any Redemption Price, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via electronic mail within one (1) Business Day of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Redemption Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day submit via electronic mail the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price to an independent, outside accountant, selected by the Holder and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Holder may with prior written notice setting out such request elect to receive a payment of cash in lawful money of the United States of America by a check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing (which address, in the case of each Buyer, shall initially be as set forth on the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Bridge Securities Purchase Agreement).  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.  Any amount of Principal or other amounts due hereunder or pursuant to any other Transaction Document which is not paid when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to additional interest on such amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum from the calendar day immediately following the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full (collectively, the "Late Charges").

After all Principal, accrued Interest and other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full (including in accordance with Section 1 hereof), this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

(23)GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL.  This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address set forth in Section 9(f) of the Bridge Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company's obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.  THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(24)SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the 








remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(25)DISCLOSURE. From and after the Public Company Date, upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall contemporaneously with any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K, press release or otherwise.  In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Company be obligated or required to pay interest hereunder at a rate or in an amount which could subject the Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate or amount which the Company is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay.  If by the terms of this Note, the Company is at any time required or obligated to pay interest hereunder, including by way of an original issue discount, at a rate or in an amount in excess of such maximum rate or amount, the rate or amount of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate or amount and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate or be in such maximum amount and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate or amount shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of this Note.
