TO SUBSCRIPTION AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

INTERIM CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

THIS INTERIM CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”) is hereby issued by Clearant, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) to CPI Investments, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Lender”), as of the date first listed above (the “Closing Date”) pursuant to the Subscription and Purchase Agreement between the Borrower and Lender dated as of July 8, 2008, as amended (the “Subscription Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Subscription Agreement.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay, on the Maturity Date, to the order of Lender in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the then outstanding Principal Amount (as defined below), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in the manner set forth herein. For the purposes of this Note, “Principal Amount” shall mean One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000), less any amount converted into shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of Article 5 hereof, plus any accrued but unpaid interest accreted on an annual basis. Borrower further agrees to pay interest on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time, which interest shall accrue and accrete per annum at the rate equal to twelve (12%) percent, commencing on the date of this Note. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year, for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be paid monthly one (1) month in arrears.

All closings evidenced by this Note and all payments (including those described in Article 1) shall be endorsed by the holder hereof on a grid schedule, or on a continuation thereof (the "Grid”); provided, that failure to make such notations or any error in such notations shall not affect the obligations of Borrower under this Note.

ARTICLE 1
REPAYMENT

1.1 Maturity Date; Payment on Demand. Subject to the terms of this Section 1.1, the outstanding Principal Amount and all unpaid interest accrued thereon shall be payable and due on July 8, 2012 (as extended or accelerated pursuant to this Section 1.1, the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there has been an Event of Default by the Borrower, the outstanding Principal Amount and any and all interest or other amounts accrued hereunder but remaining unpaid, shall become immediately due and payable. The existence or occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”): (i) the failure by Borrower to make any payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under this Note in accordance with the terms of this Note; or (ii) any “event of default” as defined in Section 5.1 of the Security Agreement (as defined in Article 2 below). This Note shall survive and continue until the Principal Amount and any and all interest and other amounts accrued and owing hereunder, but remaining unpaid, has been fully-paid hereunder. From and after the date upon which any Event of Default has occurred and for so long as it is continuing, the Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum.

1.2 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note, in whole or in part, and any time on or after July 8, 2011. Any conversion of any Principal Amount into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.1 below shall not be deemed a “prepayment” for purposes of this Section 1.2.

1.3 Payment of Interest. Regardless of whether Lender elects to convert as set forth in Article 5 hereof or to demand payment as set forth in Section 1.1 above, payment of interest shall only be made in cash, and such amounts shall not be convertible as set forth herein.

ARTICLE 2
SECURITY AGREEMENT

2.1 This Note is entitled to the benefit of that certain Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith and attached hereto as Schedule A, between Lender (aka “Secured Party”) and Borrower (aka, “Debtor”), as the same may from time to time be amended or supplemented (as amended, the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which Lender is granted a first priority security interest in the Collateral (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement). This Note shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such Security Agreement.

ARTICLE 3
PLACE OF PAYMENT; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

3.1 Place of Payment. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable to Lender in lawful money of the United States, at such bank account as shall be designated by Lender in immediately available funds.

3.2 Application of Payments. Payment on this Note shall be applied first to any expenses of collection, then to accrued interest, and thereafter to the Principal Amount.

ARTICLE 4
BORROWER DEFAULT; LENDER DEFAULT

4.1 Borrower Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the Borrower (as defined in Section 1.1 above) the unpaid Principal Amount, all unpaid accrued interest thereon and all other amounts owing hereunder may, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable to Lender.

4.2 Lender Default. In the event that one or more of the closings of the Tranches contemplated in the Subscription Agreement do not occur as a result of the Lender’s failure to timely deliver consideration for the Notes as set forth in the Subscription Agreement (the "Lender Default”), then, upon the commencement of any such Lender Default, interest hereon shall cease to accrue for the lesser of (i) a period of six (6) months or (ii) until such time as the Lender Default is cured.

ARTICLE 5
CONVERSION

5.1 Mechanics of Conversion; Conversion Amount.

5.1.1 At any time prior to three (3) years from the Closing Date, upon the issuance of a written demand for conversion from Lender (the “Demand Notice”), Lender may, at its sole option, elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount as of such date into shares of Borrower’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), the definitive terms of which are set forth in the SEC Reports, in accordance with this Article 5. The Demand Notice shall state the date of the conversion (the “Conversion Date”), provided, that such date shall be more than five (5) days from the date of the Demand Notice. The number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share rounding up on an as-converted common-equivalent basis) (the "Conversion Amount”) to which Lender shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount shall be equal to the Principal Amount that Lender specifies in the Demand Notice divided by $0.11 (the “Conversion Price”). Should the Company, at any time after the date hereof, subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock or issue a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately adjusted, in each case effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as the case may be.

5.1.2 No later than three (3) days after the Conversion Date, in consideration for the conversion of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender all of the Common Stock Documents (as defined). For the purposes of this Section 5.1, "Common Stock Documents” shall mean certificates and all other documentation, in each case, duly endorsed, representing full title and ownership, and all corresponding rights pertaining thereto, to such Common Stock, free and clear of any and all liens, charges, encumbrances, claims, or restrictions, and issued in the name or names in which Lender wishes such certificate or certificates for the Common Stock to be issued. Concurrent with, and subject to the receipt of the Common Stock Documents, Lender shall adjust the Grid to reflect the conversion of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount.

5.1.3 On the Conversion Date, the Lender shall deliver the Note to the Borrower for cancellation. Should the Lender convert less than the Principal Amount, the Borrower will re-issue to the Lender a new note for the remainder of the unconverted Principal Amount, in a form containing identical terms and conditions to this Note.

5.2 Issue Taxes. Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Common Stock.

5.3 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. Upon any conversion pursuant to Section 5.1 above, Borrower will take all corporate action as may be necessary to authorize (or increase its authorized but unissued) shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note under Section 5.1 above, including, without limitation, obtaining the requisite stockholder and board of director approvals necessary to amend and restate Borrower’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, if necessary.

5.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note into the Common Stock. If the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of the Common Stock, Borrower shall round up to the nearest whole share of the Common Stock.

ARTICLE 6
WAIVER

6.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower, for itself and for its successors, transferees and assigns, waives presentment and written demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, bringing of suit, lack of diligence or delays in collection or enforcement of this Note and notice of the intention to accelerate and any other indulgence or forbearance, and shall pay all costs of collection when incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses.
