LOANS

To the extent applicable, each such Participating Existing Noteholder hereby waives the right of such Noteholder to any advance notice provision attached to such Existing Note relating to the issuance hereunder of the Convertible Notes and Warrants. Each of the New Noteholders has, on the date hereof, made loans to the Company, or on a Subsequent Closing will make loans, in the aggregate principal amount set forth next to that New Noteholders' name on Schedule 1. Each of the loans described above is referred to herein as a "Loan" and collectively the "Loans". Each Loan will be evidenced by a 15% Subordinated Secured Convertible Note payable to the order of the Noteholder in the aggregate principal amount of the Loan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which note is referred to herein as a "Convertible Note." The Company has issued, and will issue, to each Participating Existing Noteholder, upon surrender of such Noteholder' s Existing Note, a Convertible Note with that new principal amount set forth next to that Original Noteholder' s name on Schedule 1 and bearing interest from the date of issuance of such Convertible Note. The Company has issued, and will issue, to each New Noteholder a Convertible Note in the same principal amount as the amount of the Loan made in cash by such New Noteholder and bearing interest from the date of issuance of such Convertible Note.
2.2 Security Agreement. The Convertible Notes will be secured by a lien on all assets of the Company pursuant to the Security Agreement, subordinated as provided in Section 10.
2.3 Conversion of Convertible Notes.
(a) The outstanding principal of, and the accrued and unpaid interest on, each Convertible Note shall be subject to automatic conversion pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or conversion at the election of the Noteholder pursuant to Section 2.3(c) into that number of shares of Common Stock as equals the amount being converted divided by $0.65, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3(d) (as adjusted, the "Conversion Price").
(b) If following sale of the Convertible Notes and during the Term the Company raises additional capital in one or more securities issuances (whether private or public) with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such issuances, whether such securities issuances take the form of stock offerings, and whether preferred or common stock, or debt (whether or not convertible into stock), or a combination of any of the foregoing, then the Convertible Notes shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price applicable on the date of notice by the Company to the Noteholders that such automatic conversion event has occurred. In the event of such an automatic conversion, the Company shall provide to each Noteholder instructions for the surrender of the Convertible Note for conversion into Common Stock and for designation of Persons to receive Common Stock. The Person(s) to receive the Common Stock shall be a record holder(s) thereof on the date designated by the Company for the automatic conversion if the Convertible Note has been appropriately surrendered for conversion or such later date as it is so surrendered.
(c) Any Noteholder may, at any time, convert a portion or the entirety of such Noteholders' outstanding Convertible Notes into Common Stock at the Conversion Price then-applicable. Before any Noteholder shall be entitled to convert a Convertible Note into Common Stock the Noteholder shall surrender the Convertible Note endorsed for transfer to the Company or its designated transfer agent and shall give written notice of the election to convert, including the name or names in which the Common Stock certificates are to be issued. The Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter issue and deliver to such Noteholder or the designated Persons a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Note or percentage thereof is being converted and, if applicable, a new Convertible Note for the unconverted principal and unpaid interest; however, the conversion shall be deemed to have occurred and the Person(s) designated to receive the Common Stock shall be a record holder(s) thereof on the date of surrender by the Noteholder with appropriate instructions.
(d) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted on a full ratchet basis (for so long as either the Company' s then issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock comprises at least 10% of the fully diluted equity of the Company and continues to have a conversion price that adjusts (as it currently does) on a full-ratchet basis or $5,851,799 in principal amount of Senior Debt remains outstanding and continues to have a conversion price that adjusts (as it currently does) on a full-ratchet basis (the "Full-Ratchet Condition")), that is, if the Company issues any Common Stock or securities or debt convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or right to acquire such securities or debt at a price per share of Common Stock below the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price of that new issuance. If the Full-Ratchet Condition ceases to be applicable, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted on a standard weighted average basis pursuant to the terms which shall govern same provided in Exhibit B attached hereto. The Conversion Price shall also be adjusted proportionately for any stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, consolidations and the like in respect of the Company' s Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of any of the following: (i) the grant of options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a stock option plan approved by the Company' s Board of Directors and the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise thereof, (ii) the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise of Convertible Notes and Warrants, (iii) the issuance of Common Stock upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or Senior Debt, (iv) the issuance of Common Stock upon any exercise of those outstanding derivative securities set forth on Schedule 2.3(d), to include Series A warrants, Senior Debt warrants, and any other outstanding warrant whose exercise price adjusts along with the Series A preferred or March 2007 notes, (v) the issuance of securities in connection with a business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, or in connection with any other strategic transaction, or any financing or leasing transaction or a consulting relationship, and (vi) securities offered pursuant to any employee benefit plan or employment contract approved by the Board of Directors.
2.4 Warrants. Upon the issuance of any Convertible Note, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Noteholder in respect thereof a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (a "Warrant"). Each Noteholder will receive a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to five multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of such Noteholder' s Convertible Note(s), divided by $1.00. The exercise price for a share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be $0.65 per share. The Warrants will be exercisable for five years from the date of issuance, at which time they will expire. For purposes of Regulation 1.1273-2 promulgated under Section 1273 of the Code, the fair market value of a Warrant shall be the number of shares into which it is exercisable on the day of issuance multiplied by the Warrant Value. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Warrant Value" shall be $0.65. The Company and the Noteholders agree to use the Warrant Value for U.S. federal tax purposes with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless otherwise requested by a final determination of the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction).
2.5 Private Offering. The Convertible Notes and the Warrants have been, and will be, offered and sold to the Noteholders without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D or under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
2.6 Prepayment. The Company may at any time elect to prepay, without penalty, the outstanding amount of the Convertible Notes including any unpaid accrued interest, in whole or in part, by giving five business days' written notice to the holders of the Convertible Notes. Any prepayments must be applied pro-rata to all outstanding Convertible Notes. Such prepayments must be in a minimum amount of $250,000, or an integral multiple thereof (except for a prepayment in full of all remaining Convertible Notes).

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any communication by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper person or entity, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, or the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by Majority Noteholders, and such instructions of the Majority Noteholders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Noteholders.
11.3 Events of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from any Noteholder or the Company specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Noteholders. The Agent shall (subject to Section 11.7) take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by Majority Noteholders, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action on behalf of the Noteholders, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Noteholders.
11.4 Rights as a Noteholder. A person or entity acting as the Agent to the extent it is a Noteholder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Noteholder and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent. The Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to the Noteholders) lend money to, guaranty indebtedness of and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company and any of its Affiliates as if it were not acting as an Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Company for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Noteholders.
11.5 Indemnification. The Noteholders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes held by the Noteholders, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated by or referred to therein or the enforcement of any of the terms of any Transaction Document, provided that no Noteholder shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.
11.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Noteholders. Each Noteholder agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Noteholders, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Company and its own decision to make the Loans and to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Noteholders, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Transaction Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company of any Transaction Document or to inspect the properties or books of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Noteholders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or businesses of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent will provide to the Noteholders any and all information reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Agent promptly upon such request.
11.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Noteholders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
11.8 Resignation or Removal of Agent. Any person or entity acting as Agent may resign as an Agent at any time by giving five days prior written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Company and shall be removed as the Agent at any time with or without cause at the request of Majority Noteholders. Any such resignation shall take effect at the end of such five day period or upon the earlier appointment of a successor Agent by Majority Noteholders as provided below. Upon any resignation or removal of any Agent, Majority Noteholders shall appoint a successor agent from among the Noteholders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent. After the effective date of the resignation or removal of an Agent hereunder, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, provided that the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.
11.9 Cooperation of Noteholders. Each Noteholder shall (a) promptly notify the other Noteholders and the Agent of any Event of Default known to such Noteholder under this Agreement and not reasonably believed to have been previously disclosed to the other Noteholders; (b) provide the other Noteholders and the Agent with such information and documentation as such other Noteholders or the Agent shall reasonably request in the performance of their respective duties hereunder, including, without limitation, all information relative to the outstanding balance of principal, interest and other sums owed to such Noteholder by the Company under the Convertible Notes and other Transaction Documents; and (c) cooperate with the Agent with respect to any and all collections and/or foreclosure procedures at any time commenced against or otherwise in respect of the Collateral by the Agent in the name and on behalf of the Noteholders.

12.3 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Noteholders and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
12.4 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto, provided, however, that the rights of the Noteholders to purchase the Convertible Notes shall not be assignable without the consent of the Company.
12.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents nor any term hereof and thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that the Majority Noteholders may, with the Company' s prior written consent, waive, modify or amend on behalf of the Noteholders, any provision hereof and thereof.
12.6 Notices, etc. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger, addressed (a) if to any Noteholder, at the Noteholder' s address set forth on Schedule 1, or at such other address as such Noteholder shall have furnished to the Company and the Agent in writing, (b) if to the Company, at its address set forth on the cover page of this Agreement and addressed to the attention of the CEO, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Noteholders and the Agent in writing, or (c) if to the Agent, to Xxxx X.

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given when delivered if delivered personally, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or three business days after the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of the U.S. mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or if by facsimile transmission, on the first business day following receipt of an acknowledgment of good transmission.
12.7 Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Noteholder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Noteholder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Noteholder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Noteholder of any provisions or conditions of this agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
12.11 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.
12.12 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
12.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided for in Section 10, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
12.14 Independent Nature of Noteholders' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Noteholder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Noteholders hereunder, and no Noteholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Noteholder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at the Closing, and no action taken by any Noteholder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of Person, or create a presumption that the Noteholders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Noteholder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary for any other Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
12.15 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other parties may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby promises to pay to the order of _______________________________________, or registered assigns (the "Holder"), without offset, at Holder' s address of _____________________________________________________________________________, or at such other place as the Holder may hereafter from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of ______________________________ DOLLARS ($__________) on December 1, 2011 (the "Maturity Date"), together with interest as hereinafter provided. [This Convertible Note is issued in replacement of that certain Promissory Note (if any) in the same principal amount, plus interest, originally issued by the Company on ______________, 2008.]
1. GENERAL
1.1. Note Purchase Agreement. This Convertible Note is one of a series of 15% Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes (the "Convertible Notes") issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated December 1, 2008 entered into by the Company, the Noteholders (the "Noteholders") and the Agent named therein, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). The Convertible Notes shall be governed by the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. Each Holder of this Convertible Note will be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
1.2. Governing Law. This Convertible Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of Georgia, excluding any choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
1.3. Definitions. Terms with initial capital letters used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement.
2. INTEREST
The principal amount of this Convertible Note shall bear interest from the Issue Date at an annual rate of 15%, while no Event of Default has occurred, and at 20% while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Absent an Event of Default, interest shall accrue until and be payable on the Maturity Date.
3. PAYMENTS AND MANDATORY PREPAYMENT
3.1. Place of Payment. Payments of all amounts due under this Convertible Note shall be made at the address of the Holder set forth in the first paragraph of this Convertible Note or such other place as the Holder of this Convertible Note shall have designated by written notice to the Company.
3.2. Application of Payments. Payments of all amounts due under this Convertible Note will be applied as follows: first to accrued and unpaid interest and second to principal. The Convertible Notes rank equally and ratably without priority over one another. No payment of principal shall be made under this Convertible Note unless payments of principal are made under the other Convertible Notes in an amount that bears the same ratio to the unpaid principal of the other Convertible Notes as the payment hereon bears to the unpaid principal on this Convertible Note. No payment of interest shall be made under this Convertible Note unless payments of interest are made under the other Convertible Notes in an amount that bears the same ratio to the interest (including accrued interest) owing on the other Convertible Notes as the payment of interest (including accrued interest) on this Convertible Note bears to the interest (including accrued interest) owing on this Convertible Note.
3.3. Excess Payment. Notwithstanding Section 3.2, if the Holder receives more than its pro rata share of interest or principal (such excess being termed an "Excess Payment"), the Holder shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the holders of the Convertible Notes their respective pro rata shares of such Excess Payment, as set forth in Section 3.2, unless the Holder is legally required to return the Excess Payment, in which case each holder of a Convertible Note receiving a portion of such Excess Payment shall return to the Holder its pro rata share of the sum required to be returned, without interest.
3.4. Company Obligation. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder shall be obligated to pay and pays to the Agent for distribution to the holders of the Convertible Notes an Excess Payment, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations in respect of this Convertible Note only to the extent of the Excess Payment actually retained or received by the Holder after giving effect to the pro rata payments by the Agent to the holders of the Convertible Notes. The obligations of the Company in respect of the Convertible Notes held by other holders shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent the amount of the Excess Payment distributed to each by the Agent and not required to be returned.
3.5. Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof governing Excess Payments, the Company may at any time and from time to time prepay in whole or in part any sum due hereunder without penalty in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
4. SECURITY AGREEMENT
The Convertible Notes are secured by the Security Agreement.
5. CONVERSION
The Convertible Notes are convertible into the Company' s Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement. For purpose of such conversion, the Holder is required to send to the Company a conversion notice in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto. The Company will reserve from its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of such shares to permit the conversion of the Convertible Notes.
6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
6.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of one or more of the Events of Default set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder.
6.2. Remedies.
(a) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Majority Noteholders shall have the rights and shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, which rights include, but are not limited to, the right to declare the outstanding principal balance, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived, and may exercise all applicable rights and remedies under the Security Agreement.
(b) Other Remedies. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and has not been cured during the cure period set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, if any, and irrespective of whether the Convertible Notes have become or have been declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Note, the Holder of any Convertible Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such Holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Convertible Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.
(c) No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any Holder of any Convertible Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Holder' s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred hereby upon the Holder shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
7. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES
7.1. Registration of Convertible Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Convertible Notes. The name and address of each Holder and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Convertible Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Convertible Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any Holder promptly upon request therefore, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered Holders.
7.2. Transfer and Exchange of Convertible Notes. This Convertible Note is a registered Convertible Note and, upon surrender of this Convertible Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Convertible Note or part thereof and, upon delivery by the Holder of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company confirming an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any available state securities law; provided that if the record ownership of the Convertible Note remains the same no such opinion of counsel shall be required), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company' s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Convertible Notes (as requested by the Holder thereof) in such series in exchange therefore, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Convertible Note. Each such new Convertible Note shall be payable to such Person as such Holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of this Convertible Note. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Convertible Notes. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the person in whose name this Convertible Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
7.3. Replacement of Convertible Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Convertible Note (which evidence shall be notice from the Holder of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, receipt of an unsecured indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Convertible Note of such series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Convertible Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Convertible Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
8. MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE
It is the intent of the Company and the Holder to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the amounts constituting interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Convertible Note exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, this Convertible Note shall be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If the Holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the indebtedness evidenced hereby in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Company or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law. As used in this paragraph, the term "applicable law" shall mean the laws of the State of Georgia, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1. Notices. All notices required to be given shall be given as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
9.2. Amendment. The Convertible Notes may be amended as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.

9.4. Successors. This Convertible Note inures to the benefit of the Holder and binds the Company and their respective successors and assigns, and the words "Company" and "Holder" whenever occurring in this Convertible Note shall be deemed and construed to include such respective successors and assigns. The Company cannot assign this Convertible Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.

No. SSCNW-____ December 1, 2008
GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for value received, hereby certifies that ____________________ or its registered assigns (the "Holder") is entitled, subject to the provisions hereof, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as defined below), ________ duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (defined below) of the Company (the "Warrant Shares") at a purchase price of $0.65 per share (the "Warrant Price"), all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth below in this warrant (this warrant, and any new warrant issued pursuant to the terms hereof, being referred to herein as "Warrant"). This Warrant is one of a series of warrants (the "Warrants") issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated December 1, 2008 entered into by the Company, the "Agent" and the "Noteholders" named therein (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in Section 5 hereof shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1 Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day by delivering at the principal executive office of the Company the Warrant and a subscription notice in the form of Schedule I duly executed by such Holder accompanied by payment in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of Warrant Shares designated in such subscription by (b) the Warrant Price.
1.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1.1. At such time, the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.3 shall be deemed to have become the stockholder(s) of record thereof.
1.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued to and delivered or registered in the name of the Holder hereof or, subject to Section 3, as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share on the Business Day next preceding the date of such exercise. The Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased. Any certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be reasonably requested by the Holder hereof, shall be registered in the name of such Holder and shall bear a restrictive legend. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for issuance of the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares so designated by such Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.1.
1.4 Representations of the Company. The Company represents, warrants and acknowledges to the Holder that:
(a) it is a corporation duly formed and validly existing in the State of Delaware;
(b) it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant at the time outstanding. All such securities shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with no liability on the part of the holders thereof.
(c) this Warrant has been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action of the Company, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company; and
(d) when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
2. Warrant Adjustments.
2.1 Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If the Warrant Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or any other class or classes of stock or other securities of the Company, including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the Holder shall, on its exercise, be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities which the Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the happening of such reclassification, exchange or substitution for the same aggregate consideration. If the Company shall at any time change its Common Stock or Other Securities, as the case may be, into the same or a different number of shares of the same or any other class or classes of stock or Other Securities, as the case may be, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before that reclassification, exchange or substitution shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities, as the case may be, purchasable immediately thereafter. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event occurs.
2.2 Reorganization, Mergers or Consolidations. In the event of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, then, as part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period and upon payment of the Warrant Price then in effect, the number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which the Holder would have been entitled in such reorganization, merger, or consolidation if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that reorganization, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company' s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any Common Stock or Warrants or other property deliverable after than event upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, within thirty (30) days after making such adjustment, give written notice (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the address of the Holder shown on the Company' s books. That notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which the adjustment was calculated and specify the Warrant Price then in effect after the adjustment and the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. When appropriate, that notice may be given in advance and include as part of the notice required under other provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any transaction described in this Section 2.2 in which the consideration to be received by holders of Common Stock is payable only in cash, the Holder shall be entitled only to cash in the amount, if any, that such cash payment per share exceeds the Warrant Price.
2.3 Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or number or kind of the shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to this Warrant, and Warrants theretofore or hereunder issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant, as initially issued; provided, however, that the Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof. Any Warrant certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Warrant certificate may be in the form so changed.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 3, each Warrant originally issued, each Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer, each certificate for Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, and each certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Common Stock (or Other Securities), shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, if applicable:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM."
3.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to any transfer of any Restricted Securities which are not registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (other than a transfer pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or any comparable rule under such Act), the Holder thereof will give written notice to the Company of such Holder' s intention to effect such transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section 3.2. Each such notice shall (a) describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail to enable counsel to render the opinion referred to below, and (b) designate counsel for the Holder giving such notice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Holder giving such notice will submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in such notice. The following provisions shall then apply:
3.2.1 if in the written opinion of such counsel for the Holder, obtained at the Holder' s sole cost and expense and a copy of which shall be delivered to the Company and shall be reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, the proposed transfer may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to the Company. Each Restricted Security or certificate, if any, issued upon or in connection with such transfer shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.1 unless, in the opinion of such counsel, such legend is no longer required to insure compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and
3.2.2 if the opinion of such counsel rendered pursuant to the foregoing subdivision 3.2.1 is not to the effect that the proposed transfer may legally be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws (such opinion to state the basis of the legal conclusions reached therein), such Holder shall not be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities (other than a transfer pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or any comparable rule under the Securities Act) until receipt by the Company of a further notice and a further opinion of counsel for such Holder to the effect stated in subdivision 3.2.1 above or until registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws has become effective.
3.2.3 Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed by this Section 3 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities upon sale of the Restricted Securities in an offering registered under the Securities Act or when, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such restrictions are no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. Whenever such restrictions shall terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (other than transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend set forth in Section 3.1.
4. Ownership, Transfer and Substitution of Warrants. The Company may treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered on the register kept at the principal executive office of the Company as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Subject to Section 3, a Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without first having a new Warrant issued.
