in
full of the principal balance of this Note, to convert this Note in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, in whole or in part, into Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The number of shares of Common

(b) Conversion
Price.
The

(c) Compliance
with Securities Laws.
The
Holder of this Note, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that the shares of

investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of
any
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion thereof except under
circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act (?) or any state
securities laws. Upon conversion of this Note, the Holder shall, if requested
by
the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that
the
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion are being acquired solely for
the
Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment,
and not with a view toward distribution or resale. All shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend
in
substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state
securities laws):
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT
BE
SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE

7. Mechanics
and Effect of Conversion.
No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.
In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the
conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount of
outstanding principal and accrued interest that is not so converted, such
payment to be in the form as provided below. Upon the conversion of this Note
pursuant to Section 6(a) above, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly
endorsed, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense, the Company
shall, within ___ business days, issue and deliver to such Holder at such
principal office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of
such
Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing
such legends as are required by the Subscription Agreement and applicable state
and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company), together
with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon
such
conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder
for any cash amounts payable as described above. Such conversion shall be deemed
to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of
such
surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all
its
obligations and liabilities under this Note, except ten (10) days after the
date
of such conversion, any interest accrued and unpaid or unconverted to and
including the date of such conversion.
8. Adjustments
to Conversion Price.
(a) In
the
event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date of
issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock
Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the
additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including
the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof),
then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split
or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of this Note
shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such
increase of outstanding shares. Additionally, if the Company sells any shares
(or issues securities with conversion rights) within the next 18 months at
prices below a $0.35/share conversion price, the Holder’s conversion price then
is fixed at the same price as the conversion price of the subsequent
offerings.
(b) If
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof
is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for this
Note shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.
(c) Upon
the
occurrence of each adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section
8, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the
terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth
the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
9. Notices
of Record Date, etc.
(a) In
the
event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of
securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
who
are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out
of
earned surplus at the same rate as that of the last such cash dividend
theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase
or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or
property, or to receive any other right;
(b) any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization
of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially
all
of the assets of the Company to any other person or any consolidation or merger
involving the Company; or
(c) any
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
the Company will mail to the holder of this Note, at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the earliest date specified therein, a notice specifying:
-
4
-
i. The
date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right; and
ii. the
approximate date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to
become effective and the record date for determining stockholders entitled
to
vote thereon.
10. Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized
but
unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the Notes, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall
from
time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Notes; and if at
any
time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (and shares
of
its Common Stock for issuance on conversion of such Common Stock) shall not
be
sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount
of this Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the
holder of this Note, the Company will use its best efforts to take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares
as
shall be sufficient for such purposes.
11. Assignment.
Subject
to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 15 below, the rights and
obligations of the Company and the Holder of this Note shall be binding upon
and
benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the
parties.
12. Waiver
and Amendment.
Any
provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon written approval
of the Company and the Holders of the majority of the outstanding principal
amount of all then outstanding Notes issued pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement.
13. Transfer
of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof.
With
respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities
into

Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with
a

other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under
any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice
and
opinion, the Company, within ___ business days, shall notify such Holder that
such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities,
all
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the
Company.

when personally delivered or when deposited in the mail or with an air courier
or telegraphed in the manner set forth above and shall be deemed to have been

Shareholder Rights.
Nothing
contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or
any
other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of meetings of shareholders for the election of directors
of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder
of
the Company; and no dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect
of this Note or the interest represented hereby or the Conversion Shares
obtainable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Note shall have
been converted.
16. Replacement

On
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory
in
form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Note, the Company at its expense shall execute and
deliver, in lieu of this Note, a new Note of like tenor and amount.
