                  the
                  presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loans and either language indicating
                  that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a
                  MOM Loan or
                  if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the original
                  Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with evidence of recording
                  indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public
                  recording office in which such Mortgage has been
                  recorded;

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (c)

              	
                a
                  duly executed assignment of the Mortgage in blank (which may be
                  included
                  in a blanket assignment or assignments), together with, except
                  as provided
                  below, all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (each
                  such
                  assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable
                  form and
                  sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
                  thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided
                  that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
                  public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude
                  the
                  information to be provided by the recording
                  office;

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (d)

              	
                the
                  original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance
                  or
                  substitution agreement, if any;

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (e)

              	
                either
                  the original or duplicate original title policy (including all
                  riders
                  thereto) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, if available,
                  provided that the title policy (including all riders thereto) will
                  be
                  delivered as soon as it becomes available, and if the title policy
                  is not
                  available, and to the extent required pursuant to the second paragraph
                  below or otherwise in connection with the rating of the Certificates,
                  a
                  written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of the
                  title
                  issued by the title insurance or escrow company with respect to
                  the
                  Mortgaged Property, or, in lieu thereof, an Alternative Title Product;
                  and

              

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -6-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
        	 	
                (f)

              	
                in
                  the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the following
                  documents
                  or instruments:

              

      

       

      (1) The
        Coop
        Shares, together with a stock power in blank;

       

      (2) The
        executed Security Agreement;

       

      (3) The
        executed Proprietary Lease;

       

      (4) The
        executed Recognition Agreement;

       

      (5) The
        executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of recording thereon which
        have
        been filed in all places required to perfect the Seller’s interest in the Coop
        Shares and the Proprietary Lease; and

       

      (6) Executed
        UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC financing statements
        required by state law, evidencing a complete and unbroken line from the
        mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a form
        suitable for recordation).

       

      In
        the
        event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
        Loan
        the Seller cannot deliver (i) the original recorded Mortgage or (ii) all
        interim
        recorded assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (b) or (c) above,
        respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because
        such
        document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public
        recording office, the Seller shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
        to
        the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original Mortgage or such
        interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated
        thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy
        thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but
        in no
        event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
        assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
        recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date;
        provided, however, in the event the Seller is unable to deliver or cause
        to be
        delivered by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by
        reason
        of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate
        recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because
        the
        related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office,
        the
        Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee
        or
        the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof
        and, in
        any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date; provided, further,
        however, that the Seller shall not be required to provide an original or
        duplicate lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) if the Seller
        delivers an Alternative Title Product in lieu thereof. The Seller shall forward
        or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (i)
        from
        time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
        modification of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) any other documents required to
        be
        delivered by the Seller to the Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage
        is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related
        Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of
        a
“lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because
        only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction
        or reconveyance, the Seller shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed
        and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case
        where
        a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the
        case
        where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office,
        the
        Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
        on
        its behalf a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office
        to
        be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -7-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      In
        addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Seller
        cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original or duplicate original
        lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the
        requirements of clause (v) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery
        hereof because the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
        public recording office, the Seller shall promptly deliver or cause to be
        delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original or
        duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon
        receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, but in no event shall
        any
        such delivery of the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy be
        made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in
        the
        event the Seller is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date
        the
        original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders
        thereto) because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate
        recording office, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered such
        documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible
        upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
        Date. 

       

      Notwithstanding
        anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty days after the
        Closing
        Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
        Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as required pursuant
        to
        this Section 3.1 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute
        or
        cause to be substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery
        Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase or cause to be repurchased the Delay Delivery
        Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in
        the
        manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 (treating each
        Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such
        Section 4.1), provided, however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage
        File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty-day period provided
        in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best reasonable efforts to
        effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather than a repurchase of,
        such
        Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided
        for in
        Section 4.1 hereof shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage
        File
        for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller shall have five
        (5)
        Business Days to cure or cause to be cured such failure to deliver.

      Representations
        and Warranties

       

      Section
        4.1 Representations
        and Warranties of the Seller.
        (a) The
        Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date of
        execution and delivery hereof, that:

       

      (1) The
        Seller is duly organized as a Kansas corporation and is validly existing
        and in
        good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas and is duly authorized
        and
        qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement
        to be
        conducted by the Seller in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located
        or
        is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such qualification
        and,
        in any event, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any such state,
        to the extent necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan
        and
        to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance
        with
        the terms thereof.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -8-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (2) The
        Seller has the full corporate power and authority to sell each Mortgage Loan,
        and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has duly authorized by all
        necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller the execution, delivery
        and
        performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due
        authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto,
        constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable
        against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except that (a) the
        enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
        receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and
        (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
        equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion
        of
        the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

       

      (3) The
        execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the sale of the Mortgage
        Loans by the Seller under this Agreement, the consummation of any other of
        the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or
        compliance with the terms thereof are in the ordinary course of business
        of the
        Seller and will not (a) result in a material breach of any term or provision
        of
        the charter or by-laws of the Seller or (b) materially conflict with, result
        in
        a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material
        default
        under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the
        Seller is a party or by which it may be bound, or (c) constitute a material
        violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Seller of
        any
        court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
        jurisdiction over the Seller; and the Seller is not in breach or violation
        of
        any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in
        violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body,
        administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which
        breach or violation may materially impair the Seller’s ability to perform or
        meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.

       

      (4) No
        litigation is pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened
        against the Seller that would prohibit the execution or delivery of, or
        performance under, this Agreement by the Seller.

       

      (5) The
        Seller is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material
        respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
        of the MERS Mortgage Loans for as long as such Mortgage Loans are registered
        with MERS.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -9-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
        	 	
                (b)

              	
                The
                  Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth
                  in
                  Schedule
                  B
                  hereto to the Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified
                  therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

              

      

       

      
        	
              	(c)	
                Upon
                  discovery by either of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation
                  or warranty made pursuant to Schedule
                  B
                  hereto that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
                  Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
                  shall
                  give prompt notice thereof to the other party. The Seller hereby
                  covenants
                  that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt
                  of
                  written notice from the Purchaser of a breach of any representation
                  or
                  warranty made pursuant to Schedule
                  B
                  hereto which materially and adversely affects the interests of
                  the
                  Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all
                  material
                  respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such
                  90-day
                  period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
                  remove
                  such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the pools of mortgages
                  listed on Schedule
                  B
                  hereto and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan,
                  in the
                  manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section;
                  or (ii)
                  repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the
                  Purchaser
                  at the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price in the manner set forth below.
                  With
                  respect to the representations and warranties described in this
                  Section
                  which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered
                  by either the Seller or the Purchaser that the substance of such
                  representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially
                  and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or
                  the
                  interests of the Purchaser therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of
                  knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation
                  or
                  warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
                  representation or warranty.

              

      

       

      With
        respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver
        to
        the Trustee or to the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,
        the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements
        as are required by Section 3.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
        assigned as required by Section 3.1. No substitution is permitted to be made
        in
        any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled
        Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
        substitution will be retained by the Seller. Upon such substitution, the
        Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
        Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
        respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
        substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule
        B
        hereto
        with respect to such Mortgage Loan. 

       

      It
        is
        understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller
        to
        cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred
        and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting
        such breach available to the Purchaser on its behalf.

       

      The
        representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not be

      Miscellaneous

       

      Section
        5.1 Transfer
        Intended as Sale.
        It is
        the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
        Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser be, and be construed as, an absolute sale
        thereof in accordance with GAAP and for regulatory purposes. It is, further,
        not
        the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof
        by
        the Seller to the Purchaser. However, in the event that, notwithstanding
        the
        intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the property of
        the
        Seller or the Purchaser, respectively, or if for any other reason this Agreement
        is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i)
        this
        Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
        the
        Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas and (ii) the conveyance of
        the
        Mortgage Loans provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an
        assignment and a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest
        in
        all of the Mortgage Loans, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

       

      The
        Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
        take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
        deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security
        interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
        under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of
        the
        Agreement. The Seller and the Purchaser shall arrange for filing any Uniform
        Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest
        granted hereby.

       

      Section
        5.2 Seller’s
        Consent to Assignment.
        The
        Seller hereby acknowledges the Purchaser’s right to assign, transfer and convey
        all of the Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement to a third party and that the
        representations and warranties made by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant
        to
        this Agreement will, in the case of such assignment, transfer and conveyance,
        be
        for the benefit of such third party. The Seller hereby consents to such
        assignment, transfer and conveyance.

       

      Section
        5.3 Specific
        Performance.
        Either
        party or its assignees may enforce specific performance of this
        Agreement.

      Representations
        and Warranties as to the Mortgage Loans

       

      First
        Horizon Home Loan Corporation (the “Seller”) hereby makes the representations
        and warranties set forth in this Schedule
        B
        on which
        First Horizon Asset Securities Inc. (the “Purchaser”) relies in accepting the
        Mortgage Loans. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution
        and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30,
        2007
        (the “MLPA”), between First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, as seller, and the
        Purchaser and as of the Closing Date, or if so specified herein, as of the
        Cut-off Date or date of origination of the Mortgage Loans, but shall survive
        the
        sale, transfer, and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and
        any
        subsequent sale, transfer and assignment by the Purchaser to a third party.
        Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule
        B
        shall
        have the meanings ascribed thereto in the MLPA or the Pooling and Servicing
        Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2007, between First Horizon Asset Securities
        Inc., as depositor, First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, as master servicer,
        and
        The Bank of New York, as trustee.

       

      
        	 	
                (1)

              	
                The
                  information set forth on Schedule
                  A
                  to
                  the MLPA, with respect to each Mortgage Loan is true and correct
                  in all
                  material respects as of the Closing
                  Date.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (2)

              	
                Each
                  Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
                  Property
                  subject only to (a) the lien of nondelinquent current real property
                  taxes
                  and assessments and liens or interests arising under or as a result
                  of any
                  federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance relating to
                  hazardous
                  wastes or hazardous substances and, if the related Mortgaged Property
                  is a
                  unit in a condominium project or Planned Unit Development, any
                  lien for
                  common charges permitted by statute or homeowner association fees,
                  (b)
                  covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
                  and other
                  matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage,
                  such exceptions appearing of record being generally acceptable
                  to mortgage
                  lending institutions in the area wherein the related Mortgaged
                  Property is
                  located or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection
                  with
                  the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (c) other matters
                  to
                  which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
                  interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
                  by
                  such Mortgage.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (3)

              	
                Immediately
                  prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser,
                  the Seller
                     had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage
                  Loan free and
                  clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and
                  had full
                  right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of,
                  or
                  agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant
                  to
                  this Agreement.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (4)

              	
                As
                  of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, there was no
                  delinquent
                  tax or assessment lien against the related Mortgaged
                  Property.

                (5)

              	
                There
                  is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note
                  or
                  Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the
                  unpaid
                  principal of or interest on such Mortgage
                  Note.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (6)

              	
                There
                  are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting
                  any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or
                  equal with,
                  the lien of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against
                  by the
                  title insurance policy referred to in item (11)
                  below.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (7)

              	
                To
                  the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no Mortgaged Property has been
                  materially damaged by water, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood,
                  tornado
                  or similar casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous
                  wastes or hazardous substances, as to which the Seller makes no
                  representation) so as to affect adversely the value of the related
                  Mortgaged Property as security for such Mortgage Loan. With respect
                  to the
                  representations and warranties contained within this item (7) that
                  are
                  made to the knowledge or the best knowledge of the Seller or as
                  to which
                  the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance
                  of any
                  such representation and warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy
                  materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
                  Loan,
                  or the interest therein of the Purchaser, then notwithstanding
                  the
                  Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such
                  representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the
                  representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be
                  deemed a
                  breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller
                  shall
                  take such action described in Section 4.1(c) of this Agreement
                  in respect
                  of such Mortgage Loan.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (8)

              	
                Each
                  Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects
                  with
                  applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation,
                  usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures,
                  truth-in-lending and disclosure laws and specifically applicable
                  predatory
                  and abusive lending laws.

                No
                  Mortgage Loan is a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific applicable
                  predatory and abusive lending laws.

              

      

       

      
        	 	
                (10)

              	
                Except
                  as reflected in a written document contained in the related Mortgage
                  File,
                  the Seller has not modified the Mortgage in any material respect;
                  satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or
                  in part;
                  released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from
                  the lien

    FOR
      VALUE RECEIVED,
      the
      undersigned, True North Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
      "Obligor"), hereby promises to pay to the order of EH&P Investments AG (the
      "Holder"), the principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) payable
      as set forth below. The Obligor also promises to pay to the order of the Holder
      interest on the principal amount hereof at a rate of 8% per annum, which
      interest shall be payable as set forth below. Interest shall be calculated
      on
      the basis of the year of 365 days and for the number of days actually elapsed.
      The payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in coin or
      currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall
      be
      legal tender therein for the payment of public and private debts.

    

    This
      Note
      shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

    

    1. Payments.
      Subject
      to prior conversion or acceleration, all principal due hereunder shall be
      payable in one (1) installment on March 30th,
      2010
      (the “Maturity Date”). Subject to prior conversion or acceleration, interest
      shall be payable semi-annually. The first such interest payment shall be due
      the
      first day of the first month following 180 days from the date of this Note.
      Subsequent interest payments will be due and payable on the first day of the
      month every six months thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final
      interest payment shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In the event
      that any payment to be made hereunder shall be or become due on Saturday, Sunday
      or any other day which is a legal bank holiday under the laws of the State
      of
      Texas, such payment shall be or become due on the next succeeding business
      day.

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    2. Prepayment.
      The
      Obligor and the Holder understand and agree that the principal amount of this
      Note together with all accrued interest due thereon can be prepaid by Obligor
      at
      any time without penalty, commencing April 30th,
      2007.

    

    3. Conversion.

    

    (a) In
      the
      event the Obligor completes an offering (the “Offering”) of US$10,000,000 or
      more of equity or debt securities within 90 days of the date of this Note (the
      “Offering Completion Date”), this Note, including any accrued and unpaid
      interest, shall be automatically exchanged for and converted into like share
      or
      securities issued by the Obligor in the Offering on the same terms that such
      like shares or securities are purchased by subscribers in the Offering. The
      amount of like shares or securities so issued shall be based on the amount
      of
      principal and interest converted. The Holder shall effect the conversion by
      promptly surrendering this Note to the Obligor. Upon receipt of the Note, the
      Obligor will deliver or shall cause to be delivered the like shares or other
      securities of the Obligor issuable upon conversion.

    

    (b) Upon
      a
      conversion involving common stock of the Obligor, the Obligor shall not be
      required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares, but
      may
      either make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share or round
      up to the next whole share of common stock.

    

    (c) The
      issuance of securities of the Obligor upon conversion of this Note shall be
      made
      without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that
      may
      be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of a certificate for such
      securities, provided that the Obligor shall not be required to pay any tax
      that
      may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery
      of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the
      original Holder.

    

    (d) Any
      and
      all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder
      hereunder, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent
      by a
      nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or
      registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of the Chief
      Executive Officer of the Obligor at the facsimile number or address of the
      principal place of business of the Obligor. Any and all notices or other
      communications or deliveries to be provided by the Obligor hereunder shall
      be in
      writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized
      overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage
      prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the facsimile number or address of the
      Holder appearing on the books of the Obligor, or if no such facsimile telephone
      number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.
      

    

    (e) Upon
      receipt by Obligor of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Obligor of the loss,
      theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft
      or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Obligor
      in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
      cancellation of this Note, Obligor shall execute and deliver to the Holder
      a new
      Note.

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    4. Warrants.
      In
      the
      event an offering is not completed by the Offering Completion Date, common
      stock
      purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Obligor shall be issued to the Holder.
      The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of three years commencing on
      the
      date of issuance of the Warrants. The number of shares of common stock of the
      Obligor issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise price will
      be
      calculated based upon the average closing price of the Obligor’s common stock
      for the 20 business days preceding the date of this Note (the “Average Price”).
      The number of shares which the Holder will be entitled to purchase upon exercise
      of the Warrants shall be calculated by dividing the principal amount of this
      Note by the Average Price. Any fractional shares resulting from said calculation
      will be rounded up to the next whole share. The exercise price of the Warrants
      shall be 140% of the Average Price. By way of example, if the Average Price
      is
      $2.00, the Warrant exercise price will be $2.80.

    

    5. No
      Waiver.
      No
      failure or delay by the Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege
      under
      the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
      exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
      of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
      shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
      law.
      No course of dealing between the Obligor and the Holder shall operate as a
      waiver of any rights by the Holder.

    

    6. Waiver
      of Presentment and Notice of Dishonor.
      The
      Obligor and all endorsers, guarantors and other parties that may be liable
      under
      this Note hereby waive presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and all other
      demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance
      or
      enforcement of this Note.

    

    7. Place
      of Payment.
      All
      payments of principal of this Note and the interest due hereon shall be made
      at
      such place as the Holder may from time to time designate in
      writing.

    

    8. Events
      of Default.
      The
      entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and the interest due hereon shall,
      at the option of the Holder exercised by written notice to the Obligor forthwith
      become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
      notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, if any one or
      more
      of the following events (herein called "Events of Default") shall have occurred
      (for any reason whatsoever and whether such happening shall be voluntary or
      involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to
      or
