($5,000,000), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on November 22, 2009 (the
“Maturity Date”) if not sooner paid.

terms in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the
Borrower and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
INTEREST & AMORTIZATION
INTEREST & AMORTIZATION
1.1 Interest Rate and Payments. Subject to Sections 4.9 and 5.6 hereof, interest
payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the
“Contract Rate”) equal to the “prime
rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus two percent (2.00%).
Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears commencing on December 1, 2005 and on the first day of
each consecutive calendar month thereafter (each, a “Repayment Date”), and on the Maturity Date,
1
accelerated or otherwise. The prime rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for
each increase or decrease in the prime rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the
prime rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in such rate. In no event
shall the Contract Rate be less than six percent (6.75%). The Contract Rate shall be calculated on
the last business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in
the Prime Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance with the terms of
Section 1.1) until the Maturity Date (each a “Determination Date”) and shall be subject to
adjustment as set forth herein. If (i) the Company shall have registered the shares of the Common
Stock underlying the conversion of this Note and each Warrant on a registration statement declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (ii) the market price (the
“Market Price”) of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the
five (5) trading days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed
Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding
calendar month shall automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.) (2%) for each
incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the
then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything to the
contrary contained herein), in no event shall the Contract Rate at any time be less than zero
percent (0%).
1.2 Contingent Interest. Additional interest shall be payable quarterly hereunder on the
last day of each April, July, October and January, as follows:
(a) Performance Interest. So long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding
the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the lesser (but not less than zero) of (i)
two-thirds (2/3) of the Project Cash Flow generated by all Projects for the most recently ended
calendar quarter, and (ii) the Target Return for such calendar quarter.
(b) Bonus Interest. So long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding the
Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of Excess Cash Flow for such
calendar quarter.
(c) Post Repayment and Conversion Performance Interest. For twenty (20) quarters
immediately following irrevocable payment in full of the Note, including all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees thereon (whether through scheduled amortization and/or conversion, or otherwise),
the Company will pay the Holder as additional interest: (i) 50% of the Project Cash Flow generated
by all Projects each quarter for four consecutive quarters commencing in the quarter immediately
following retirement of the Note (the “First Post Retirement Period”); (ii) 40% of the Project Cash
Flow generated by all Projects each quarter for four consecutive quarters commencing in the quarter
immediately following the First Post Retirement Period (the “Second Post Retirement Period”); (iii)
2
30% of the Project Cash Flow generated by all Projects each quarter for four consecutive quarters
commencing in the quarter immediately following the Second Post Retirement Period (the “Third Post
Retirement Period”); (iv) 20% of the Project Cash Flow generated by all Projects each quarter for
four consecutive quarters commencing in the quarter immediately following the Third Post Retirement
Period (the “Fourth Post Retirement Period”); (v)10% of the Project Cash Flow generated by all
Projects each quarter for four consecutive quarters commencing in the quarter immediately following
the Fourth Post Retirement Period. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, in the Purchase
Agreement or any Related Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Company’s obligations under this
Section 1.2 shall (a) constitute separate independent obligations of the Company that shall
survive until indefeasibly paid to the Holder in full notwithstanding the prior payment in full of
the outstanding Principal Amount and interest thereon in accordance with the terms hereof and (b)
at all times constitute Obligations under and as defined in the Master Security Agreement which
shall be secured until indefeasibly paid in full by the Collateral (as defined in the Master
Security Agreement), and (ii) neither this Note nor the Master Security Agreement shall be deemed
satisfied or terminated, as applicable, unless and until all obligations of the Company to the
Holder under this Section 1.2 shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. Upon the irrevocable
payment in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Master Security Agreement), other than
Obligations arising in connection with the payment of Post Retirement Performance and Bonus
Interest, the Holder acknowledges that it may be desireable for the Holder to restructure its
secured interests in the Collateral granted by Company to Holder under the Master Security
Agreement. Should the Holder determine, in its sole discretion, that adequate provision for the
payment of its Post Retirement Performance and Bonus Interest have been made, it will cooperate
with the Company to make commercially reasonable provision to restructure its secured interests to
allow the Company to acquire additional financing.

unpaid interest under this Note beginning on December 1, 2005 , amortization of the aggregate
principal amount outstanding under this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall begin on June 1, 2006

Holder on each Repayment Date, each in the amount of $43,759.64, together with any accrued and
unpaid interest to date on such portion of the Principal Amount plus any and all other amounts
which are then owing under this Note but have not been paid (collectively, the “Monthly Amount”).
ARTICLE II
BORROWER PAYMENT OPTIONS
BORROWER PAYMENT OPTIONS
2.1 Forced Conversions (a) Subject to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall have the
sole option to determine whether to satisfy payment of the Monthly Amount on each Repayment Date
either in cash or in shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or a
combination of both. Each month by the tenth (10th) day of such month, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Holder a written irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto
electing to pay the Monthly Amount payable on the next Repayment Date in either cash or Common
Stock, or a combination of both (each, a “Repayment Election Notice”). Each Repayment Election
Notice shall be delivered to the Holder not later than the tenth (10th) day of the month
prior to the applicable Repayment Date (the date by which such notice is required to be given being
hereinafter referred to as the “Notice Date”). If, for the Monthly Amount due on
any Repayment Date, a Repayment Election Notice is not delivered to the Holder by the
applicable Notice Date for such Repayment Date, then the Monthly Amount due on such Repayment Date
shall be paid in cash. If the Borrower elects or is required to repay all or a portion of the
Principal Amount in cash on a Repayment Date, then on such Repayment Date the Borrower shall pay to
the Holder an amount equal to 102% of the Principal Amount then due in satisfaction of such
obligation. If the Borrower pays all or a portion of the Monthly Amount in shares of Common Stock,
the number of such shares to be issued for such Repayment Date shall be the number determined by
dividing (x) the portion of the Monthly Amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, by (y) the
Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, the “Fixed Conversion Price” means $1.16.
5
In the event that the average closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market is
greater than 200% of the Fixed Conversion Price for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive
trading days following payment in full of any then due and payable Monthly Amount, then the
Borrower may, at its sole option, provide the Holder written notice (a “Call Notice”) requiring the
conversion at the Fixed Conversion Price of all or a portion of the outstanding principal of this
Note (subject to compliance with Section 3.2 if payment is less than all of the principal and
interest then due), together with accrued interest on the amount being prepaid, as of the date set
forth in such Call Notice (the “Call Date”). The Call Date shall be at least eleven (11) trading
days following the date of the Call Notice. Provided that on the Call Date there has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective a current registration statement
covering the shares of Common Stock which are to be issued pursuant to the Call Notice, then on the
Call Date the Borrower shall deliver to the Holder the shares of Common Stock issued in
satisfaction of the principal and interest being retired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrower’s right to issue shares of Common Stock in payment of obligations under this Note shall be
subject to the limitation that the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any
Call Notice shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the
twenty two (22) trading days immediately preceding the Call Date (as such volume is reported by
Bloomberg L.P.). If the price of the Common Stock falls below 200% of the Fixed Conversion Price
during the twenty two (22) trading day period immediately preceding the Call Date, then the Holder
will then be required to convert only such amount of the Note as shall equal twenty five percent
(25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume (as such volume is reported by Bloomberg L.P.) for
each day that the Common Stock has exceeded 200% of the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.
The Borrower shall not be permitted to give the Holder more than one Call Notice under this
Note during any 22-day period.
Any principal amount of this Note which is prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be
deemed to constitute payments of outstanding principal applying to Monthly Amounts for the
remaining Repayment Dates in chronological order.
6
2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Borrower shall be prohibited from exercising its right to repay any part of any Monthly Amount in
shares of Common Stock (and must deliver cash in respect thereof) on any applicable Repayment Date
if at any time from the Notice Date for such Repayment Date through the date upon which such
payment is made by delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock (i) there fails to exist an
effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering
the shares of Common Stock to be issued, or (ii) an Event of Default hereunder exists and is
continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or is
otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option.
2.3 Conversion limitations. Subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, the Borrower may
elect to provide the Holder with a Repayment Election Notice requiring the conversion of the
Monthly Amount, at a conversion price equal to eighty five percent (85%) of the average daily
volume weighted average closing prices of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days
immediately prior to the date of the delivery of such respective Repayment Election Notice,
provided, however, that such conversion of the Monthly Amount due on each Repayment Date does not
exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the
twenty two (22) trading days immediately preceding delivery of a Repayment Election Notice. Any
part of the Monthly Amount due on such Repayment Date that the Holder has not been able to convert
into shares of Common Stock as set forth in this Section 2.3 shall be paid in cash, with that
portion that represents the Principal Amount paid at the rate of 102% of the Principal Amount
otherwise due on such Repayment Date, within three (3) business days of the applicable Repayment
Date. In no event shall the Borrower be permitted to convert the Monthly Amount pursuant to this
Section 2.3 if the market price of the Borrower’s stock is less than $1.00.
2.4 Optional Prepayment in Cash. The Borrower will have the option of prepaying this
Note in full (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the principal amount of this Note together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note or
the Purchase Agreement or any Related Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the
“Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the day written notice of redemption (the “Notice of
Redemption”) is given to the Holder, which Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such
Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective
with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has a pending election to convert
pursuant to Section 3.1 and the Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such election to
convert had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. The
Redemption Payment Date shall be not earlier than the day after the
date of the Notice of
7
Redemption and not later than seven (7) days after the date of the
Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good
funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount by the
Redemption Payment Date, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS
CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1. Holder’s Conversion Rights. If the closing price of the Common Stock on the
Conversion Date (as defined below) is greater than the Fixed Conversion Price, and a Registration
Statement covering the shares of Common Stock which are issuable pursuant to conversion hereof has
been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is effective and current on
the Conversion Date, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or
any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with
interest and fees due hereon, into shares of Common Stock subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Article III. The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a
written notice of conversion not less than one (1) day prior to the date upon which such conversion
shall occur. The date upon which such conversion (or any conversion pursuant to Section 3.3)shall
occur is the “Conversion Date”.
3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would
be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between (i)
4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2 shall
automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, upon 75 days prior notice to the Company, or upon receipt
by the Holder of a Notice of Redemption. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder
shall not exceed an aggregate of 10,154,300 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the
Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of Common Stock hereunder
shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to
time the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of
8
this Note, the Purchase
Agreement or any other Related Agreement, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that
would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion or
exercise pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other Related
Agreement, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 3.2, the Company
shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the
shares of Common Stock hereunder . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
provisions of this Section 3.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or the Company.
3.3 Mandatory Conversion of Monthly Amount. If the closing price of the
Common Stock on the business date immediately preceding the date when any Monthly Amount is due is
115% or greater than the Fixed Conversion Price, and a Registration Statement covering the shares
of Common Stock which are issuable pursuant to conversion hereof has been declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is effective and current on the date when such Monthly
Amount is due, then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2, the Holder shall
automatically convert the Monthly Amount then due into shares of Common Stock on such due date;
provided that (i) such conversion shall not be required if an Event of Default hereunder
exists and is continuing; and (ii) such conversion of the Monthly Amount due shall be limited to an
amount equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common
Stock for the twenty two (22) trading days immediately preceding the date when such Monthly Amount
is due. Any part of the Monthly Amount due that is not converted into shares of Common Stock as
set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be paid in cash, with that portion that represents the
Principal Amount paid at the rate of 102% of such portion of the Principal Amount otherwise due on
such date.
3.4 Mechanics of Xxxxxx’s Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects or is
required to convert any of all of this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such
election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (“Notice of Conversion”) to
the Borrower and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the
Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees being converted. On each Conversion Date and in
accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the
Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written
notice thereof to the Borrower within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. A form of
Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The Borrower
will cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust
Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three
(3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Date (the “Delivery Date”).
9
In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion shall be
deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be
deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Date. The
Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the
Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary naming a nominee or transferee.
3.5 Conversion Mechanics.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3 the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the Fixed Conversion Price. In the
event of any conversions of outstanding principal amount under this Note in part pursuant to this
Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of outstanding principal
amount applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Repayment Dates in chronological order. By
way of example, if the original principal amount of this Note is $5,000,000 and the Holder
converted $125,000 of such original principal amount prior to the first Repayment Date, then (1)
the principal amount of the Monthly Amount due on the first Repayment Date would equal $0, (2) the
principal amount of the Monthly Amount due on the second Repayment Date would equal $0 and (3) the
principal amount of the Monthly Amount due on the third Repayment Dates would be $6,578.92.
(b) The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued
upon conversion is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events,
as follows:
A. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are
subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend
is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion
Price, as the case may be, shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or
stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case
by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
event.
B. Shares Reserved. During the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for
the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Borrower represents that
10
upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The
Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its
officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing
stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon
the conversion of this Note.
3.6 Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note
containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued
by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not
have been converted or paid. The Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the
Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.
ARTICLE IV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs and is continuing, the Borrower’s rights
under Sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4 shall immediately cease and be of no further effect until such time
as the Event of Default has been cured, or has been waived by the Holder. Upon the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable grace period, the Holder may make all sums
of principal, interest and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable
hereunder due and payable within five (5) days after written notice from Holder to Borrower (each
occurrence being a “Default Notice Period”). In the event of such an acceleration, the amount due
and owing to the Holder shall be 110% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note (plus accrued
and unpaid interest and fees, if any). If, with respect to any Event of Default other than a
payment default described in Section 4.1 below, within the Default Notice Period the Borrower cures
the Event of Default, the Event of Default will be deemed to no longer exist and any rights and
remedies of Holder pertaining to such Event of Default will be of no further force or effect.
The occurrence of any of the following events is an “Event of Default”:
4.1 Failure to Pay Principal, Interest or other Fees. The Borrower fails to pay when

breaches any material covenant or other term or condition of this Note or the Purchase Agreement in
any material respect and such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of thirty (30)
days after the occurrence thereof.
11
4.3 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any material representation or warranty
of the Borrower made herein, in the Purchase Agreement, or in any Related Document (as defined in
the Purchase Agreement) shall be materially false or misleading and shall not be
cured for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof is received by the Borrower
from the Holder.
4.4 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a
substantial part of its property or business; or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be

remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days.
4.6 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or
other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be
instituted by or against the Borrower.
4.7 Stop Trade. An SEC stop trade order or Principal Market trading suspension of the
Common Stock shall be in effect for 5 consecutive days or 5 days during a period of 10 consecutive
days, excluding in all cases a suspension of all trading on a Principal Market, provided
that the Borrower shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within 30 days of the
notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Principal Market within 60 days of such notice.
The “Principal Market” for the Common Stock shall include the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ
SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange
(whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common
Stock), or any securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then
being listed or traded.
4.8 (a) Failure to Deliver Common Stock or Replacement Note. The Borrower’s failure
to timely deliver Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to and in the form required by this Note, and
Section 9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or if required, a replacement Note, if such failure
to timely deliver Common Stock shall not be cured within two (2) days or such failure to deliver a
replacement Note is not cured within seven (7) business days.
4.8 (b) Any Guarantor shall fail to (i) pay per when due any installment of principal,
interest or other fees under any other promissory note issued by such Guarantor, or (ii)
performance or observe any term or condition of any agreement to which the undersigned is a party
if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holder of any obligation under such
agreement to cause, such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity.
