After the 120th day, up to and upon the Maturity Date, this note has a cash redemption premium of 145% of the principal amount, in addition to outstanding interest, but this provision may only be exercised if the consent of the Holder is obtained. After the Maturity Date of December 11, 2015 the Company may not repay the Note, in whole or in part, under any circumstance without obtaining the Holder’s consent.
