REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE

THIS REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”) is issued by GEOVAX LABS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), to BOWERY CONSULTING GROUP INC. (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lender”), pursuant to that certain Revolving Loan Agreement, dated as of the Original Issue Date set forth above, by and between the Borrower and the Lender (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of the Lender, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time under the Loan Agreement (which aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Amount), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable in respect thereof, on the Maturity Date, and to pay interest thereon in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Loan Agreement. This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

Section 1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement, including but not limited to “Business Day,” “Closing Date,” “Default Amount,” “Default Rate,” “Event of Default,” “Final Loan Date,” “Indebtedness,” “Loan,” “Loan Account,” “Loan Commitment,” “Loan Date,” “Loan Documents,” “Maturity Date,” “Maximum Outstanding Amount,” “Payment Amount,” “Payment in Full” and “Person.”

Section 2.    Interest, Repayment and Prepayment.

(a) Interest. Each Loan evidenced hereby shall bear interest at the rate, and computed in the manner, set forth in Section 2.06 of the Loan Agreement (twelve percent (12%) per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-calendar-day periods), accruing daily commencing on the applicable Loan Date until paid in full. Accrued interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date and, with respect to any principal paid or prepaid prior to the Maturity Date, on the date of such payment or prepayment as provided in Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue and be payable solely as provided in Section 2(d) hereof and the definition of “Default Amount” in the Loan Agreement.

1


(b) Repayment. On the Maturity Date, the entire Payment Amount (or, if the Default Amount has become due and payable in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Loan Agreement, the Default Amount) shall become due and payable in cash, in immediately available funds, in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement, free of any setoff, recoupment, deduction, counterclaim or withholding, as provided in Section 2.10 of the Loan Agreement.
(c) Prepayment; Revolving Nature; Maximum Outstanding Amount. The Borrower may pay or prepay the Loans evidenced hereby, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date, without premium or penalty, and may thereafter request to reborrow (subject to Sections 2.03 and 2.05 of the Loan Agreement), in each case in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement. Each payment of principal shall be accompanied by payment in full of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. This Note evidences a revolving credit facility; the principal amount outstanding hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Amount at any time, and if at any time the sum of the balance of all outstanding Loans exceeds the Maximum Outstanding Amount, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender such amounts as shall be necessary to eliminate such excess, as provided in Section 2.09 of the Loan Agreement; provided that any interest or other amounts charged to the Loan Account and deemed Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement shall be disregarded for such purpose. No Loan may be requested or made after the Final Loan Date. The termination of the Loan Commitment by either the Borrower or the Lender pursuant to Section 6.17 of the Loan Agreement shall not affect any Loan outstanding on the date thereof or any other obligation of the Borrower hereunder, all of which shall survive such termination and remain due and payable in accordance with the Loan Agreement and this Note.
(d) Default Interest. From the date an Event of Default occurs and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate (in lieu of, and not in addition to, the rate set forth in Section 2(a) hereof) on the outstanding principal balance of all outstanding Loans, as provided in the definition of “Default Amount” in the Loan Agreement, and shall be payable solely as part of the Default Amount if and when the Default Amount becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Loan Agreement and shall be payable as part of the Default Amount in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Loan Agreement or, to the extent accrued and unpaid, on the Maturity Date as part of the Payment Amount..
(e) Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments received by the Lender in respect of this Note shall be applied: first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) then due and owing to the Lender under the Loan Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) then due; and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans evidenced hereby; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may apply payments in such order as it may elect in its discretion to the extent permitted by the Loan Agreement.

Section 3.    Registration of Transfers.

(a) Reliance on Register. Prior to due presentment of this Note for transfer, the Borrower may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered on its books as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and the Borrower shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

2


(b) Transfers. This Note may be sold, assigned or transferred by the Lender only in accordance with Section 6.05 of the Loan Agreement (including the requirement of the Borrower’s prior written consent, approved by a majority of the Remaining Directors, except for transfers to an Affiliate of the Lender or while an Event of Default is continuing, and the requirement that any transferee agree in writing with the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of the Loan Documents that apply to the “Lender”), the legend set forth above and applicable federal and state securities laws. The Borrower may not assign this Note or any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (other than by merger), as provided in Section 6.05 of the Loan Agreement.

At all times from and after issuance, and in connection with any transfer of this Note, the Borrower shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of, and the principal amount owing to, the Lender and any permitted transferee (the “Register”). Any transfer of this Note shall be effective only upon surrender of this Note to the Borrower and recordation of the transfer in the Register, whereupon the Borrower shall issue, in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new Note of like tenor registered in the name of the transferee in the principal amount then outstanding hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of this Note for all purposes.

The Lender’s entries in the Loan Account shall, excepting manifest errors, be deemed correct, accurate and binding on the Borrower for purposes of any enforcement of this Note, subject to the Borrower’s right to object within thirty (30) days as provided in Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement; provided that the failure of the Lender to maintain or provide any such accounting shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to pay when due any amount owing under the Loan Agreement or this Note. The Lender shall provide the Borrower, upon request, with a monthly accounting reflecting the activity in the Loan Account in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement.
