amount of this Note is prepaid, a new Note may be issued at Maker's
election, representing the unpaid principal amount with the same Due
Date hereof. In the event Maker fails to pay any sum due hereunder on
the date when such payment is due and payable as provided herein,
after fifteen (15) days written notice from Holder to Maker, Maker
agrees to compensate Holder for reasonable attorneys fees, court
costs, and any other additional charges Holder may incur as a result
of such default.
1. Option to Convert Note to Stock.

2. Investment Representations. Holder represents and
warrants that:
2.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Note is being acquired
for Xxxxxx's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Xxxxxx has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. Holder further represents that
Xxxxxx does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations
to any third person with respect to the Note and/or the Shares.
2.2. Disclosure. The Holder has been informed and is aware
that an investment in the Note involves a degree of risk and
speculation, and has been afforded an opportunity to meet with the
officers of the Company and to ask and receive answers to any
questions about the Collateral, and the business and affairs of the
Company, and to obtain any additional information which the Company
possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that
is necessary to verify the accuracy of information provided, and has
therefore obtained, in the judgement of the Holder, sufficient
information to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Note and/or the Shares.
2.3. Risk Evaluation. On the basis of the review of the
information described above, and relying solely thereon and upon the
knowledge and experience of the Holder in business and financial
matters, the Holder has evaluated the merits and risks of investment
in the Note and/or the Shares and has determined that he is both
willing and able to undertake the economic risk of this investment.
2.4 Restricted Security. Holder understands that the Note
and the Shares are a "restricted security" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as it is being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws
and applicable regulations such Note and/or the Shares may be resold
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection,
Xxxxxx represents that Xxxxxx, or Xxxxxx's counsel, is familiar with

and understand the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
