has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement, dated
March 19, 2005 (the “Settlement Agreement”) and a subscription agreement, dated

the Holder, (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and shall be subject to
the terms of such Transaction Documents. Unless otherwise separately defined
herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning
as
is set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The following terms shall apply
to
this Note:
ARTICLE
I
INTEREST
AND AMORTIZATION
1.1. Interest
Rate.
Subject
to Section 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate
per
annum (the "Interest Rate") of eight percent (8%). Interest on the Principal
Amount shall be simple interest, payable monthly, in arrears, commencing
on
April 1, 2006 and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter
(each, a "Repayment Date") and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration
or
otherwise.
1.2. Minimum
Monthly Principal Payments.
Amortizing payments of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall
commence on the first (1st) Repayment Date and shall recur on each succeeding
Repayment Date thereafter until the Principal Amount has been repaid in full,
whether by the payment of cash or by the conversion of such principal into
Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof. Subject to Section 2.1 and Article
3
below, on each Repayment Date, the Borrower shall make payments to the Holder
in
the amount of one-twenty-fourth (1/24th) of the initial Principal Amount
(the
"Monthly Principal Amount"), together with any accrued and unpaid interest
then
due on such portion of the Principal Amount plus any and all other amounts
which
are then owing under this Note that have not been paid (the Monthly Principal
Amount, together with such accrued and unpaid interest and such other amounts,
collectively, the "Monthly Amount"). Amounts of Conversions of Principal
Xxxxxx
made by the Holder or Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or Article III, and
Redemption Amounts actually paid to Borrower shall be applied to Monthly
Amounts
commencing with the Monthly Amounts first payable and then Monthly Amounts
thereafter in chronological order. Any Principal Amount that remains outstanding
on the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

1.3. Default
Interest Rate.
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
subject to Section 5.7, the annual interest rate on this Note shall
automatically be increased to fifteen percent (15%), and all outstanding
obligations under this Note, including unpaid interest, shall continue to
accrue
interest from the date of such Event of Default at such interest rate applicable
to such obligations until such Event of Default is cured or waived.
ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
AND REPAYMENT
2.1. (a)
Holder’s
Conversion Election.
The
Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this
Note
and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding
and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest, at the election
of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a
"Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
as
such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of
capital
stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed
or
reclassified, at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof
(the
"Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the
Borrower of a Notice of Conversion as described in Section 7 of the Subscription
Agreement of the Holder's written request for conversion, Borrower shall
issue
and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days from the Conversion
Date (“Delivery Date”) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of
the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the
Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note
through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery
Date.
The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this
Note
shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note
and
interest to be converted, by the Conversion Price.
(b)
Conversion
Price.
Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4(b), the Conversion Price per share
shall be (i) $0.20 (“Maximum Base Price”).
(c) Xxxxxxxx’s
Repayment Election.
The
Monthly Amount due on a Repayment Date shall be paid by the Borrower at the
Borrower’s election (i) in cash at the rate of 102% of such Monthly Amount
otherwise due on such Repayment Date within three (3) business days of the
applicable Repayment Date, or (ii) subject to Section 3.2, with registered,
freely transferable Common Stock at an applied conversion rate equal to
eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid
prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20)
trading days preceding such Repayment Date. Any portion of the Monthly Amount
that may not be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii) by virtue of Sections
2.2,
3.2 or otherwise shall be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i).
(d) Application
of Conversion Amounts.
Any
amounts converted by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 or paid by the Borrower
shall be deemed to constitute payments of and applied, (i) first, against
outstanding fees, (ii) second, against accrued interest on the Principal
Xxxxxx,
and (iii) third, against the Principal Xxxxxx.
2.2. No
Effective Registration.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder
may
be converted into Common Stock by the Borrower without the Holder’s consent
unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement covering
the
shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations exists,
or (ii) an exemption from registration of the Common Stock is available pursuant
to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, and (b) no Event of Default hereunder
exists and is continuing, unless such Event of Default has been cured within
any
applicable cure period or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in
whole
or in part at the Holder's option.
2
2.3. Optional
Redemption of Principal Amount.
Provided an Event of Default has not occurred, whether or not such Event
of
Default has been cured, the Borrower will have the option of prepaying the
outstanding Principal Amount ("Optional Redemption"), in whole or in part,
by
paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent
(115%)
of the Principal Amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the
Holder arising under this Note, the Subscription Agreement or any Transaction
Document through the Redemption Payment Date as defined below (the "Redemption
Amount"). Xxxxxxxx’s election to exercise its right to prepay must be by notice
in writing (“Notice of Redemption”). The Notice of Redemption shall specify the
date for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption Payment Date"), which
date
shall be not less than thirty (30) business days after the date of the Notice
of
Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be
effective with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount for which the
Holder has a pending election to convert pursuant to Section 3.1, or for
conversions initiated or made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during
the
Redemption Period. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount,
less
any portion of the Redemption Amount against which the Holder has exercised
its
rights pursuant to Section 3.1, shall be paid in good funds to the Holder.
In
the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption
Payment Date as set forth herein, then (i) such Notice of Redemption will
be
null and void, (ii) Borrower will have no right to deliver another Notice
of
Redemption, and (iii) Borrower’s failure may be deemed by Holder to be a
non-curable Event of Default.
ARTICLE
III
CONVERSION
RIGHTS
3.1. Holder's
Conversion Rights.
Subject
to Section 2.2, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to
convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount
of
this Note, together with interest and fees due hereon, into shares of Common
Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III.
The
Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice
of Conversion pursuant to Section 3.3.
3.2. Conversion
Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall
not
be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note nor may this Note
be
converted in whole or in part into an amount of Common Stock that would be
convertible into that number of Common Stock which would exceed the difference
between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder
and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the purposes of
the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined
in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. The foregoing limitation shall be calculated as of each Conversion
Date. Aggregate Conversions over time shall not be limited to 4.99%. The
Holder
shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction
contained in this Section 10 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
applies, the determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible
shall
be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. The Holder may void the
Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2 upon 61 days prior
notice to the Borrower. The Holder may allocate which of the equity of the
Borrower deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be included in the
4.99%
amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
4.99%.
3
3.3. Mechanics
of Xxxxxx's Conversion.
(a) In
the
event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this
Note
into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering
an executed and completed notice of conversion (a "Notice of Conversion")
to the
Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable
detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees being converted.
The
original Note is not required to be surrendered to the Borrower until all
sums
due under the Note have been paid. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter
defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall
make
the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees
as
entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower
within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which
a
Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower in accordance
with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a "Conversion Date". A form of
Notice
of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit
A.
(b) Pursuant
to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions
to
the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if so required by
the
Borrower's transfer agent, within one (1) business day after the date of
the
delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer
agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to
the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's designated broker with the
Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3) business days after receipt by
the
Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). In the case of
the
exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege
shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable
upon
such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt
by
the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for
all
purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the
Holder
provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary.
3.4. Conversion
Mechanics.
(a) The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this
Note
pursuant to this Article III shall be determined by dividing that portion
of the
Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then
applicable Conversion Price.
(b) The
Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be
issued
upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding,
as
follows:
X. Xxxxxx,
Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or
merge
into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other
corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued
interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase
such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would
have
been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger,
sale or
conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion
or
purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive
transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of
this
Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after
any
such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
B. Reclassification,
etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise,
change
the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any
class
or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued
interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase
an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have
been
issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
4
C. Stock
Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided
or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or
if a
dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or
stock
dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares,
in
each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares
of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
D. Share
Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue
any
Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement), prior to the complete conversion of this Note for a consideration
less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such
issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion
Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this
adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower,
except for the Excepted Issuances, carrying the right to convert such security
or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to
purchase Common Stock or the modification of any of the foregoing which may
be
outstanding shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the
modification or issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument,
warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common
Stock
upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at
a
price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the
Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other
rights
of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.
(c) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4 above, the Borrower
shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring
such
adjustment.
3.5. Reservation.
During
the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than one hundred fifty (150%)
of
the number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the issuance
of
Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that
upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. Xxxxxxxx agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute
full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged
with
the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue
the
necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of
this
Note.
3.6 Issuance
of Replacement Note.
Upon
any partial conversion of this Note, provided an original Note is surrendered
to
the Company, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of
this
Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower
to
the Holder for the remaining outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and
accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
