2.5. Macher Stock and Richer Stock. If the Macher Stock and Richer Stock is (i) not eligible for public resale under Rule 144 one year following the Closing Date or (ii) the resale of such stock is not otherwise registered for resale under the 1933 Act within one year following the Closing Date, due in either case to the failure of CFWH to satisfy the current public information requirements of Section 144(c) because of its failure to timely file any periodic report with the SEC for any quarterly or annual period ending on or after March 31, 2008 (taking into account any extensions of the due date of such reports pursuant to Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the 1934 Act), Macher and Richer as the holders of the Macher Stock (and any stock issuable pursuant to the Macher Stock) and the Richer Stock (and any stock issuable pursuant to the Richer Stock), respectively (collectively, the “Holders” and such shares, the “Registrable Securities”) shall have Piggyback Registration Rights (“Piggyback Registration Rights”). For purposes of this Section 2.5, solely to the extent that the Holders become eligible to receive Piggyback Registration Rights under this Section 2.5, if CFWH proposes to register any of its common stock under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other stockholders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Form S-8, S-4 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public) (each, a “Piggyback Registration”), CFWH will give written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such registration and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which CFHW has received written requests for inclusion within five (5) business days after the receipt of CFHW’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration Request”); provided, however, that CFHW shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in the securities to be registered pursuant to a registration statement on any form which limits the amount of securities which may be registered by the issuer and/or selling security holders if, and to the extent that, such inclusion would make the use of such form unavailable. In the event that any Piggyback Registration shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering, any Piggyback Registration Request by a Holder shall specify that either (a) such Registrable Securities are to be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares of common stock otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration, or (b) such Registrable Securities are to be sold in the open market without any underwriting, on terms and conditions comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of common stock in reasonably similar circumstances. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of CFHW and/or stockholders, and the managing underwriters advise CFHW in writing that in their opinion the number of shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the maximum number which can be included in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (the “Maximum Number”), CFHW will limit the number of shares included in such registration to the Maximum Number, and the shares registered shall be selected in the following order of priority: (i) first, the shares CFHW proposes to sell, and (ii) second, shares to be sold by other stockholders, allocated among such stockholders pro-rata according to the proportion of the securities to be sold by each stockholder in the proposed distribution derived by dividing the number of securities proposed to be sold by all stockholders. In addition, the Holders agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of CFHW, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) days prior to (provided that the Holders receive a notice from CFHW of the commencement of such seven-day period) and the 45-day period beginning on the effective date of any registration statement for an underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included (except as part of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders’ Piggyback Registration Rights shall terminate on the earliest of (i) two years after the Closing Date or (ii) such time as the Registrable Securities become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act.

PROMISSORY NOTE

$U.S. 1,894,250.00
August 14, 2007

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE CENTER FOR WOUND HEALING, INC., a Nevada corporation (“CFWH”) hereby promises to pay to the order of MED-AIR CONSULTANTS, INC., a New York corporation (“Med-Air”), the sum of $1,894,250.00.

CFWH promises to make the payments required under this promissory note, without interest, in thirty-six (36) monthly installments in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Schedule 1, which schedule is part of this promissory note. Each payment shall be recorded by Med-Air or the successor noteholder, if the note has been properly assigned in accordance with the assignment provisions herein (the “Holder”), and endorsed on Schedule 1. CFWH shall not be entitled to prepay this promissory note within the first twelve (12) months of the date hereof. If CFWH prepays this promissory note in full at any time after the one-year anniversary of the execution of this promissory note, the amounts owed under this promissory note shall be payable at a discount of twelve percent (12%) and without any prepayment penalty.

If CFWH fails to make a payment required under this promissory note when such payment is due in accordance with Schedule 1 (an “Unpaid Installment”), such nonpayment shall constitute a default of CFWH’s obligations under this promissory note as of the date CFWH was required to pay such Unpaid Installment (an “Event of Default”). In the event that the Event of Default is not cured within fifteen (15) business days following an Event of Default, all then unpaid installment payments owing under this promissory note (the “Accelerated Amount”), plus the amount of the Unpaid Installment, shall automatically become immediately due and payable. Any Unpaid Installment shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum. If CFWH pays the Unpaid Installment plus interest thereon on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) business day after an Event of Default, the Event(s) of Default upon which such automatic acceleration was predicated shall be deemed to be cured, and payment of all then unpaid installment payments shall not be accelerated and such payments shall be due and owing as set forth on Schedule 1.

If CFWH fails to pay the Unpaid Installment on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) business day after an Event of Default, such Unpaid Installment and the Accelerated Amount shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum. So long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, CFWH shall not be entitled, without the written consent of the Holder, to prepay this promissory note.

The payments owing under this promissory note shall be made to the Holder in lawful money of the United States of America (in immediately available funds) by certified or bank check or by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by the Holder from time to time.

32



CFWH hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

Neither this promissory note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this promissory note and signed by each of the parties to this promissory note.

This promissory note may not be assigned to any person or entity without the written consent of each of the parties to this promissory note; provided, however, that Med-Air may, upon prior written notice to CFWH, assign this promissory note to any affiliate of Med-Air without the written consent of CFWH.

This promissory note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CFWH has executed this promissory note as of the date first above written.
