SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
THIS SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE is made by each of SBS
INTERACTIVE, CO., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and SBS INTERACTIVE,
INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Subsidiary;" each of the Company and the
Subsidiary is referred to herein as a "Borrower," and collectively as the
"Borrowers"), jointly and severally (the "Note").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to (i) that certain Master Loan
Agreement dated as of July 22, 2004 (the "Loan Agreement"), by and among the
Borrowers and Xxxxxx Xxxx ("Xxxx"), and (ii) that certain Pledge and Security
Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2004, by and among the Borrowers and Xxxx (the
"Security Agreement").
AGREEMENT
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, promise to pay
to the order of Xxxx or his assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Principal Amount") on the "Maturity
Date" (as defined herein), and to pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate
outstanding Principal Amount at the rate of six percent 6% per annum, payable on
the Maturity Date, in cash (in lawful currency of the United States of America),
subject to the right of the Holder to convert the Principal Amount and all
accrued but unpaid interest thereon into shares of the Company's "Common Stock"
(as defined herein) in accordance with Section 4 hereof. Interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on
the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the Principal Amount, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts which may become due
hereunder, has been made. Interest shall cease to accrue on the "Conversion
Date" (as defined herein) with respect to any Principal Amount and accrued but
unpaid interest thereon converted, provided that the Company in fact delivers
the "Underlying Shares" (as defined herein) within the time period required by
Section 4(c)(i). All overdue Principal Xxxxxx and/or accrued and unpaid interest
to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at the rate of fifteen percent
(15%) per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be
charged under applicable law (the "Late Fee") which will accrue daily, from the
date such payment is due hereunder through and including the date of payment.
For purposes hereof, the "Maturity Date" shall mean the effective date (in
accordance with Section 5 hereof) of any written demand by the Holder, from time
to time, for payment hereunder.
The Borrowers may not prepay any portion of the Principal Amount or
accrued but unpaid interest thereon without the prior written consent of the
Holder.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Exchange. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate
Principal Amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same and subject to compliance with applicable laws.
No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer or exchange.
Section 2. Transfer. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.
Prior to due presentment to the Borrowers for transfer of this Note, the
Borrowers and any agent of the Borrowers may treat the Person in whose name this
Note is duly registered on the records of the Borrower as the owner hereof for
the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes,
whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Borrowers nor any such
agent thereof shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 3. Security; Events of Default; Remedies; Waivers.
(a) The Loan Obligations are secured in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder shall
have all of the rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Loan Agreement
and/or Security Agreement.
(c) Each Borrower waives presentment, demand for payment, protest,
notice of demand, dishonor and nonpayment, notice of protest and all other
notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of this Note.
2
Section 4. Conversion.
(a) (i) At any time after the Original Issue Date, the outstanding
Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be
convertible, at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time, into (i) shares of Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase
up to Four Hundred Thousand shares of Common Stock (the "Target Warrant
Shares"), in the latter case, on the terms and conditions set forth in the form
of Common Stock Purchase Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the
"Warrants"); provided, that the Target Warrant Shares shall be (x) subject to
adjustment prior to the "Conversion Date" (as defined herein) in the same manner
as the shares purchasable under the Warrants are subject to adjustment from and
after the Conversion Date, and (y) pro-rated, from time to time, in the event
the Holder converts part but not all of the outstanding Principal Amount and
accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
(ii) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the
Company written notice (a "Notice of Conversion"), specifying therein the
Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest thereon to be converted and the
date on which such conversion is to be effected (a "Conversion Date"). If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date
shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To
effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender the Note to the Company unless the entire Principal Amount of the Note
plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted. Conversions
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Xxxxxx and
accrued but unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the amount so
converted. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest thereon converted and the date
of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Conversion within one Business Day after receipt of such notice. In the event of
any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each Holder, by acceptance of
this Note, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this
paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and
unconverted Principal Amount of this Note may be less than the Original
Principal Xxxxxx stated on the face hereof.
(b) At any time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion (the "Underlying Shares") shall be determined by the quotient
obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid
interest thereon to be converted by (y) the "Set Price" (as defined herein).
(c) (i) Not later than three Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
the Underlying Shares (which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading
restrictions) being acquired upon such conversion and the Warrants, duly
executed. The Company shall, if available and if allowed under applicable
securities laws, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates
required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically
through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing
corporation performing similar functions. If, in the case of any Notice of
Conversion, such certificate or certificates and the Warrants are not delivered
to, or as directed by, the Holder by the third Trading Day after a Conversion
Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time
on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to
rescind such conversion.
3
(ii) If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder
such certificate or certificates or the Warrants pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) by
the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such
Holder, in Common Stock at the then Set Price, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, for each $1,000 of Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest
thereon being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day
after three Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading
Day after such third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. In the
event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding Principal
Amount and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, the Company may not refuse
conversion based on any claim that the Holder or any one associated or
affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement
or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice,
restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have
been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of
the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Principal Amount of the Note
outstanding, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in
effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the
proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains
judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall
issue the Underlying Shares and the Warrants upon a properly noticed conversion.
Nothing herein shall limit Xxxxxx's right to pursue actual damages or declare an
Event of Default pursuant to the Loan Agreement for the Company's failure to
deliver the Underlying Shares or the Warrants within the period specified
herein, and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
Section hereof or under applicable law.
4
(iii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) by the third Trading Day after the
Conversion Date, and if after such third Trading Day the Holder is required by
its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the
Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to
any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the
Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the
conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price of the Common Stock
at the time of the sale (including brokerage commissions, if any) giving rise to
such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue a
Note in Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the attempted
conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its delivery
requirements under Section 4(c)(i). For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of the Note with respect to which the actual sale price
of the Underlying Shares at the time of the sale (including brokerage
commissions, if any) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of
$10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company
shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Holder
requires the Company to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to
timely deliver certificates hereunder and the Company timely pays in full such
payment, the Company shall not be required to pay such Holder liquidated damages
under Section 4(c)(ii) in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In.
(d) (i) The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be
equal to Fifty Cents ($0.50) per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
herein (the "Set Price").
(ii) If the Company, at any time while the Note is outstanding: (A)
shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not
include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Note,
including interest thereon), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock
split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or
(D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
5
(iii) If the Company, at any time while the Note is outstanding,
shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any
right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce
any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any
Common Stock or securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock (the "Common Stock Equivalents"), at an effective price per share
less than the then Set Price ("Dilutive Issuance") (if the holder of the Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by
operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion,
exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights
per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to
receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less
than the Set Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than
the Set Price), then the Set Price shall be reduced to equal the effective
conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no
later than the third Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or the applicable reset price, exchange price,
conversion price and other pricing terms.
(iv) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes
of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding
as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on a fully diluted basis.
(v) Whenever the Set Price is adjusted hereunder, the Company shall
promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Set Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(vi) If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock the
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of
any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock,
any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Notes, and shall cause
to be mailed to the Holder at its last addresses as it shall appear upon the
stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange.
6
(vii) If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or
exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"),
then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the
right to receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon
such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of
securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the
"Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such conversion, the
determination of the Set Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such
Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable
in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the
Company shall apportion the Set Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as
to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holder's right to convert such Note into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) and
insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required
to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common
Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any
final fraction of a share based on the fair market value at such time. If the
Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall
be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole
share of Common Stock.
(f) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on
conversion of the Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other
than that of the Holder of such Note so converted, and the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or
Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.
7
Section 5. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries to be provided hereunder shall be given in the manner set forth in,
and shall be effective as provided in, the Loan Agreement.

Company and stock of any other class into which such shares may hereafter have
been reclassified or changed.

governmental agency.
"Trading Day" means a day on which the shares of Common Stock are quoted
in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated (or any similar organization or agency succeeding its functions of
reporting prices); provided, that in the event that the shares of Common Stock
are not so quoted, then Trading Day shall mean a Business Day.
Section 7. No Alteration. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair
the obligation of the Borrowers, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, interest and liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the
time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note
is a direct debt obligation of the Borrowers.
Section 8. Replacement. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution

waiver must be in writing.
Section 10. Miscellaneous. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall find
that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates

would prohibit or forgive the Borrowers from paying all or any portion of the
Principal Amount or interest on the Note as contemplated herein, wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the other
covenants or the performance of the Financing Documents, and each Borrower (to
the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such
law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such
law has been enacted.
Section 11. Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation
hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 12. Preliminary Statement. The Preliminary Statement of this Note

2. Procedure for Exercise.
2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees
that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the

nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder
shall be entitled on such exercise.
2.2. Exercise.
Payment may be made either in cash or by certified or official bank check
payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise
Price for the number of Common Shares specified in such form (as such exercise
number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares
of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the
Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) determined as provided herein.
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time or
from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person or entity, or (c) transfer all
or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person or entity

the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger
or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in
lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior
to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and
property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon
such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if
such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all
subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
2
3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following
the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the
Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be
delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrant after the effective date of
such dissolution pursuant to Section 3.1 to a bank or trust company having its
principal office in New York, New York, as trustee for the Holder of the
Warrant.
3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger
or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this
Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms
hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of
dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be
binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the
case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 3. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then only in such
event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrant be delivered to the Trustee
as contemplated by Section 3.2.
4. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Combinations, etc. In the event that the
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The
Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.

5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will
at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the
exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time
to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable
securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be
transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with respect to any
or all of the shares underlying this Warrant. On the surrender for exchange of
this Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto (the "Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable
securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from
the Transferor's counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration
requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense but with
payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and
deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like
tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such
Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

10. Intentionally left blank.
11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to each holder of
the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other
Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging
this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to
Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange
or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
12. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on
the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as
the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.
13. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to
the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to
the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this
Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.
14. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time
during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
15. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant
shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Maryland or any state court located in Baltimore, Maryland. The
individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to
the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. In the event that any
provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the
extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for
purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the
terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. The
Company and Holder each acknowledges that legal counsel participated or had an
opportunity to participate in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore,
stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this
Warrant to favor any party against the other party.
