Interest accrued under this Note shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first business day of each calendar month commencing on July 1, 2011. The Company may elect to make interest payments in either (a) cash, or (b) shares of the Company’s common stock (determined by dividing the interest amount payable by 80% of the average of the closing bid prices for the three (3) trading days with the lowest closing bid prices during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the payment date). Principal and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be paid in cash in one lump sum on the Maturity Date.  The place and instructions for the payment of interest and principal to Holder are as follows:  St. George Investments, LLC, 303 East Wacker Drive, Suite 1200, Chicago, Illinois 60601

4.           Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance, as well as any accrued but unpaid interest, penalties and fees, at the rate of 15% per annum. Additionally, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holder may, by notice of the Company, declare all unpaid principal and accrued interest then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable and, upon any such declaration, the same shall become and be immediately due and payable.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 3(c), 3(d) or 3(e) in respect of the Company occurs, all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any Holder.  The Holder by notice to the Company may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Note which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, (ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, and (iii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
5.           Interest Limitation.  If a law, which applies to this Note and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this Note exceed the permitted limits, then:  (i) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (ii) any sums already collected from the Company which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to the Company.  The Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal owed under this Note or by making a direct payment to the Company.
