This

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
RIGHTS
The
Holder shall have the right to convert the outstanding principal and interest
due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, no par value
per
share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below.
2.1. Conversion
into the Borrower's Common Stock.
(a) Subject
to the terms of this Note, the Holder shall have the right from and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not such Event of Default is
cured, 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 completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed
hereto, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business
days from the Conversion Date (such third day being the “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) Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof and the Subscription
Agreement, the Conversion Price per share shall be seventy-five percent (75%)
of
the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices of the Common
Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market for the twenty
trading days preceding a Conversion Date.
(c)
The
Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued
upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), 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 as if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to such
event. 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 that may be issued or outstanding, 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 as if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to
such
event.
2
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 before such event bears to the total number of shares
of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after to such event..
D. Share
Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue
or
agree to issue any shares of Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances
for
a consideration less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such
issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Conversion
Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this
adjustment, the issuance of any security carrying the right to convert such
security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to
purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price
upon
the issuance of the above-described security 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
other rights of the Holder described in this Note and the Subscription
Agreement.
(d) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) 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.
(e) During
the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock required to be reserved as set forth in
the
Subscription Agreement. 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.
2.2 Method
of Conversion.
This
Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section
2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this
Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall,
at
the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the
principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted
or paid.
2.3 Maximum
Conversion.
The
Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of
the
Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be
in
excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned
by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock
issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii)
the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with
respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a
Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and
its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of
the Borrower on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of this Section 2.3,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate
conversions of only 9.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may exceed
9.99%. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether
the restriction contained in this Section 2.3 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 waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 2.3,
in
whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to
the
Borrower. The Holder may decide whether to convert a Note or exercise this
Warrant to achieve an actual 9.99% ownership position.

SECURITY
INTEREST
4. Security
Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay.
This
Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for
the
benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower
to Holder. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or
if
any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become
the
subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should
be
entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the
Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder
are parties (collectively, "Loan Documents") and/or applicable law, an order
from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to
11
U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and
remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. THE BORROWER
EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION
362. FURTHERMORE, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER
11
U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE
OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY,
INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER

APPLICABLE LAW. The Borrower hereby consents to any motion for relief from
stay
that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding
initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any

knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor
any
person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce
this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity
to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in
the
making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower
and
