interests securing the Note are subordinate and junior to the liens and security
interest securing indebtedness of the Company evidenced by those certain notes,

the forgoing property.
(c) Removal of Collateral

Collateral from its premises without the written consent of Investor, except
that the Company may dispose of Collateral in the ordinary course of
business.
(d) Protection of Security
Interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially
adversely affects the Collateral or title hereto or the senior right of payment
or other interest of Investor, then Investor may make such appearance, disburse
such sums and take such action as they deem necessary to protect their interest,
including but not limited to: (a) disbursement of reasonable attorney’s fees;
(b) entry upon the Company’s property to make repairs to the Collateral; and (c)
procurement of satisfactory insurance that is reasonable under the
circumstances; provided, however, Investor may undertake the foregoing only if
it has first provided written notice of the Event of Default to the Company, and
the Company has failed to cure such Event of Default within ten (10) days of
receipt of such notice. Any amounts disbursed by Investor pursuant to
this Section 6(d), with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness
of the Company secured by this Section 6. Unless the Company and
Investor agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due

disbursement, all such amounts shall bear interest from the date which is ten
(10) days following the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the
Note.
(e) Forbearance by Investor Not a
Waiver. Any forbearance by Investor in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not by a waiver
of or preclude the exercise of, any right or remedy. The acceptance

such payment shall not be a waiver of the right of either Investor to either
require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a
default for failure to make prompt payment. No action taken by
Investor shall waive the right of either Investor to accelerate the indebtedness
secured by this Section 6 and seek such other remedies as are provided by the
Note and/or applicable law.
(f) Uniform Commercial Code Security
Agreement. This Section 6 is intended to be a security
agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items specified
above as part of the Collateral which, under applicable law, may be subject to a
security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of Delaware,
California or any applicable jurisdiction where the Collateral may be located
(the “UCC”), and the
Company hereby grants Investor a security interest in said items. The
Company agrees that Investor may file any appropriate document in the
appropriate jurisdiction as a financing statement for any of the
Collateral. In addition, the Company agrees to execute and deliver to
Investor, upon its request, any financing statements, as well as extensions,
renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Note in such form as
Investor may require to perfect a security interest with respect to the
Collateral. The Company shall pay all costs of filing such financing
statements and any extensions, renewal, amendments and releases thereof, and
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing
statements Investor may reasonably require. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Investor shall have the remedies
of a secured party under the UCC and may exercise all rights and remedies
available under the UCC and this Note.
(g) Rights of
Investor.
(i) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Investor may require the Company to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Investor at the place to be
designated by Investor which is reasonable convenient to both
parties. Investor may sell all or any part of the Collateral as a
whole or in parcels either by public auction, private sale, or other method of
disposition pursuant to UCC. Investor may bid at any public sale on
all or any portion of the public sale or of the Collateral. Investor
shall give the Company reasonable notice of the time and place of any public
sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the
Collateral is to be made, and notice given at least ten (10) days before the
time of the sale or other disposition shall be conclusively presumed to be
reasonable.
(ii) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Note, Investor shall be under no obligation to offer to
sell the Collateral. In the event Investor offers to sell the
Collateral, Investor will be under no obligation to consummate a sale of the
Collateral if, in their reasonable business judgment, none of the offers
received by him reasonably approximates the fair value of the
Collateral.
(iii) In
the event Investor elects not to sell the Collateral, Investor may elect to
follow the procedures set forth in the UCC for retaining the Collateral in
satisfaction of the Company’s obligation, subject to the Company’s rights under
such procedures. To the extent allowable by the UCC, the Company
agrees to allow Investor to take possession and ownership of all right, title
and interest in and to the TRD study and its contents, results and documentation
without judicial process upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default. The Company further acknowledges and agrees, after
consultation with its advisors, that in the event the Company becomes a debtor
in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, in consideration of the significant value and benefits being
conferred on the Company pursuant to the terms of this Note, any automatic stay
that may otherwise apply to Investor in the context of such proceeding is hereby
voluntarily waived as to Investor to the extent necessary to allow Investor to
exercise its rights to foreclose or otherwise take possession and ownership of
all right, title and interest in and to the TRD study and its contents, results
and documentation.
(h) Remedies
Cumulative. Each remedy provided in this Note is distinct and
cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Note or afforded by law or
equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in
any order whatsoever.
7. Conversion.
(a) Automatic
Conversion. In the event that the Company consummates, while
the Outstanding Debt is outstanding, an equity financing of not less than
$1,500,000, excluding any and all notes and other liabilities or indebtedness
which are converted, and with the principal purpose of raising capital (a “Qualified Equity Financing”),
then the Outstanding Debt shall automatically convert into the number of
securities issued as part of the Qualified Equity Financing equal to the
quotient of (x) the Outstanding Debt divided by (y) the Equity Financing
Conversion Price. The securities shall otherwise be issued on the
same terms as such shares are issued to the lead investor that purchases the
securities in the Qualified Equity Financing. Upon such conversion,
Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction
documents related to the Qualified Equity Financing, including a purchase
agreement and other ancillary agreements having substantially the same terms
(other than price) as those agreements entered into by the other purchasers of
the securities, subject to Investor’s reasonable review and
approval. Investor also agrees to deliver the original of this Note
(or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed along with an indemnity with respect thereto in a form satisfactory to
the Company) at the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing for cancellation;
provided, however, that
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 7(a), the
Outstanding Debt shall be deemed converted and the Company shall have no other
obligation to repay the Outstanding Debt, whether or not this Note is delivered
for cancellation as set forth in this sentence.
(b) Optional
Conversion. In the event that the Company issues preferred
stock that is not part of a Qualified Equity Financing, Investor may, at its
sole option, convert the Outstanding Debt into the number of shares of such
preferred stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Outstanding Debt divided by (y)
85% of the lowest per share price for which such preferred stock was issued (the
“Optional Conversion
Price”). Investor may exercise this optional conversion right
by sending notice to the Company any time after the issuance of the preferred
stock for so long as the Outstanding Debt is outstanding. The
preferred stock shall otherwise be issued on the same terms as such shares are
issued to the largest purchaser of such shares. Upon such conversion,
Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction
documents related to the purchase of the preferred stock, including a purchase
agreement and other ancillary agreements, if applicable, having substantially
the same terms (other than price) as those agreements entered into by the other
purchasers of the preferred stock, subject to Investor’s reasonable review and
approval. Investor also agrees to deliver the original of this Note
(or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed along with an indemnity with respect thereto in a form satisfactory to
the Company) at the closing of the for cancellation; provided, however, that upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 7(b), the
Outstanding Debt shall be deemed converted and the Company shall have no other
obligation to repay the Outstanding Debt, whether or not this Note is delivered
for cancellation as set forth in this sentence.
(c) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect
of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon
conversion of the Outstanding Debt. In lieu of the Company issuing
any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of the Outstanding Debt,
the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the Equity Financing Conversion Price or Optional Conversion Price,
as applicable, by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous
sentence.
8. Successors and
Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in
Sections 10 and 12 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and Investor
shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators
and transferees of the parties.
9. Waiver and
Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived
or modified upon the written consent of the Company and Investor. Any such
amendment, waiver or modification effected in accordance with this
paragraph shall be binding upon the Company and Investor.
10. Transfer of this
Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof. With respect
to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities into which
such Note may be converted, Investor will give written notice to the Company
prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written
opinion of Investor’s counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be
effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law
then in effect, as applicable). Upon receiving such written notice and
reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the
Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Investor that Investor may
sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. Each Note thus
transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred
shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in
order to ensure compliance with the Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for
the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to
its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to
the foregoing transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration books
maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company. Prior to
presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat
the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Note for the
purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be overdue and the
Company shall not be affected by notice to the
contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may assign this
Note or securities into which such Note may be converted to an affiliated entity
without the prior written consent of the Company so long as such assignment
complies with applicable law.

(a) Investor
represents and warrants to the Company that the representations and warranties
made by the Investor in Section 3 of the Agreement are true, correct and

operation of law) by the Company without the prior written consent of
Investor.

notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or

15. Payment. Payment
shall be made in lawful tender of the United States.
16. Expenses;

any action to enforce Investor’s rights hereunder, the Company shall promptly
pay upon demand by Investor all such reasonable costs of collection, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not litigation is
commenced. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment
or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other
notices or demands relative to this instrument. The Company also
shall pay for all attorney’s fees incurred by Investor related to the drafting
and preparation of this Note.

the State of California or of any other state; provided, however, that the
perfection of the security interests in the Collateral shall be governed and
controlled by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions under the
UCC.
