"Accredited" investors, as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, including High Capital Funding, LLC ("HCF" or "Lead Investor"). HCF and the other investors are referred to herein as the "Investors." See signature pages hereto for names, addresses, and the amount of Notes (as defined below) being purchased by the Investors. The Investors have read and agree to the terms contained in Exhibit A to this Financing Agreement for Sale of 10% Promissory Notes ("Financing Agreement"). |
Issue: |

Interest: |
10% per annum payable quarterly commencing May 31, 2007, and at the final Maturity Date (as defined below). Default interest will be 18%. |
Maturity: |
(a) The entire principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable on the earlier of (i) September 30, 2007 or (ii) the third business day following the completion of an underwritten public offering or a private placement by the Company resulting in gross proceeds of $5 million or more (a "Qualified Offering") (the "Maturity Date").

Equity Considerations: |
(a) Each Investor shall receive an Equity Consideration Certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto in an amount equal to such Investor's Note. The Equity Consideration Certificate will entitle the Investor to receive either "Primary Equity Consideration" or "Alternate Equity Consideration," both as defined below and sometimes referred to herein as the "Equity Consideration." |
(b) The Primary Equity Consideration shall consist of the identical securities that the Company will sell in its next Qualified Offering. The number of such securities to be received by each Investor shall be the result obtained by dividing 100% of the original principal amount of the Note purchased by such Investor in this offering by the price of the security, or package of securities, sold by the Company in the Qualified Offering (the "Primary Equity Consideration").

The security or securities comprising the Equity Consideration shall have the same CUSIP numbers as the corresponding securities in the Qualified Offering, if such securities have CUSIP numbers. |
|
(c) The Alternate Equity Consideration shall consist of that number of shares of common stock of the Company as shall equal the principal amount of the Notes divided by $0.40, plus an equal number of non-callable warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share for a period of seven years from such issuance, and which shall have a cashless exercise feature if, at any time after one year from the First Closing, the underlying shares of common stock are not covered by an effective registration statement with a current prospectus available. The number of Alternate Equity Consideration securities shall be adjusted, pro rata, on account of any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends paid on common stock, etc., which occur after the date of issuance of the Equity Consideration Certificate and prior to the issuance of the Alternate Equity Consideration. The Alternate Equity Consideration shall be issued to the Investors on the first business day following the later of September 30, 2007 or an extended Maturity Date, if a Qualified Offering shall not have occurred by such date. |
|
(d) The date of the Equity Consideration Certificate shall be the "date of acquisition" for the purpose of computing the "holding period" of Equity Consideration under SEC Rule 144(d)(1). |

|
Purchase Price: |

For federal income tax purposes, the Company will allocate 75% of the purchase price to the Note and 25% of the purchase price to the Equity Consideration Certificate.

(b) The Company has received a letter of intent from the Placement Agent to act as the lead underwriter for a $10-$15 million public offering of units, which is expected to include a share of common stock and a warrant.

As a condition to the delivery of the certificates for the securities comprising the Primary Equity Consideration, or the Alternate Equity Consideration, the Company may require the Investor to deliver to the Company, in writing, representations regarding the Investor's sophistication, investment intent, acquisition for his, her or its own account and such other matters as are reasonable and customary for purchasers of securities in an unregistered private offering, and Company may place conspicuously upon each certificate representing securities comprising the Primary Equity Consideration or the Alternate Equity Consideration a legend restricting the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the such securities, unless such securities have been registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and applicable blue sky laws, or there has been delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration and qualification is not required.
2. Adjustment in Alternate Equity Consideration. The number of shares of the Company's common stock comprising the Alternate Equity Consideration issuable to the Holder are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Financing Agreement.

If the Company at any time subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the issuance of any Alternate Equity Consideration subdivides its outstanding shares of common stock (including a stock dividend) or combines its outstanding shares of common stock into a lesser number of shares, the number of shares issuable pursuant to this Equity Consideration Certificate will be adjusted to such number as is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to this Equity Consideration Certificate immediately prior to such subdivision or combination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination.
2.2 Effect of Sale, Merger or Consolidation. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the common stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation, is effected after the date hereof but prior to the issuance of any Alternate Equity Consideration in such a way that holders of Alternate Equity Consideration would be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for common stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the basis and the terms and conditions specified in this Equity Consideration Certificate and in lieu of the Alternate Equity Consideration immediately theretofore receivable pursuant to this Equity Consideration Certificate, such securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock immediately theretofore receivable pursuant to this Equity Consideration Certificate, and in any such case appropriate provision will be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Equity Consideration Certificate (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Equity Consideration Certificate) will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be possible, in relation to any shares of common stock, other securities or assets thereafter deliverable pursuant to this Equity Consideration Certificate The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Holder at its last address appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of common stock, other securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Holder may be entitled to receive.
2.3 Notice to Holder of Adjustment.

Such notice will also specify the date as of which the holders of the Equity Consideration of record will participate in said dividend or distribution.

At all times from and after such date, the Company will reserve and keep available for issuance such number of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock as will be sufficient to permit such delivery.

8. Authorization to Supplement.

Without limiting Borrower's obligations hereunder, Borrower and Subsidiary authorize Lenders unilaterally to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule "2" to include any such new patent or trademark rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Agreement or amend Schedule "2" shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Lenders' continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule "2."
9. Default. The breach or failure of any term, agreement, covenant or term of this Agreement or the occurrence of an event or default upon any term contained in the Secured Note(s) shall constitute a default hereunder.
