Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, in the event of the consummation of a Convertible Debt Financing (as defined in §5.2 hereof) while any portion of the Loan Balance (as defined in §5.2 hereof) shall remain outstanding, the then outstanding Loan Balance shall, contemporaneously with the consummation of such Convertible Debt Financing, be converted into a Convertible Debenture (as defined in §5.2 hereof).

§3. Prepayment. The Company may prepay, in whole or in part, the outstanding Loan Balance, without the prior written consent of the Holder and without premium or prepayment penalty; provided, that the Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment (unless such interest included in the Loan Balance has been converted pursuant to the terms of §5 hereof) on the principal amount prepaid.
