3.           Effective as of the Effective Date, Paragraph 1 of the Senior Secured Note, as amended by the First Amendment, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Such Waiver and Conversion Agreement shall become effective only upon satisfaction of the provisions set forth in Section 1.5(a) through 1.5(c).
