ARTICLE II

CONVERSION RIGHTS

The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due
under this Note into shares (“Conversion Shares”) of the Borrower's Common
Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below.

2.1.           Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.

(a)           The Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time
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
non-assessable 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 as Exhibit A, Borrower shall issue
and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days after 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, if any, 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, if any, to be converted, by
the Conversion Price.

(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the conversion
price per share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the
three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg
L.P. on the Principal Market for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the
Conversion Date, provided that in no event will the Conversion Price be more
than $0.30 (“Max Price”).  For clarification, in connection with any adjustment
to the Conversion Price pursuant to subsection (c) below, such Max Price figure
shall be adjusted accordingly.

(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:

A.           Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If (A) the Borrower effects any
merger or  consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the
Borrower 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 Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of
Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or
more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares
of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or
associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to,
such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person"
or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate
Common Stock of the Borrower, or (F) the Borrower 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"), this Note, as
to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall
thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind
of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or
distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect
to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such
Fundamental Transaction.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to
successive Fundamental 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 Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
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.

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 Borrower’s capital 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 Exempt Issuances, prior to
the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration per share
that is 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 carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into
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, 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.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Borrower for no
consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per
share of Common Stock.  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.  For clarification, following any Subsequent Issuance
which has a fixed conversion price less than the then applicable Max Price, the
Max Price shall be reduced to equal such conversion fixed price.

E.           Pro Rata Distributions.   If the Borrower, at any time while this
Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock  evidences of
its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than the Common Stock,
which shall be subject to subsection (C) above), then in each such case the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the
denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above,
and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then
fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence
of indebtedness so distributed applicable to 1 outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith.  In
either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the
Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 share of Common
Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and
shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
 
 
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
(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 not less than an amount of
Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable 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.  Borrower
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.  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; Common Stock Issuance Limitation.

(A)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower
shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the
right to convert any portion of this Note (or otherwise acquire Conversion
Shares with respect to this Note), to the extent that after giving effect to the
issuance of Common Stock upon such conversion (or other issuance), the Holder
Group would beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Ownership Percentage of
the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion (including
for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or
issuance) (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).  For purposes of calculating the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder Group shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder (including without limitation Regulation 13D-G), provided, however,
that such beneficial ownership shall exclude any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion, exchange or exercise of (or purchase of Common Stock under) any
Convertible Securities or Options outstanding at the time of determination and
beneficially owned by the Holder Group which contain a limitation on conversion,
exchange, exercise or purchase analogous to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
contained herein.  To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
contained herein applies, the determination of whether and to what extent this
Note is convertible (vis-à-vis other Convertible Securities or Options,
including without limitation other Notes and the Warrant, beneficially owned by
the Holder Group) shall be on the basis of first submission to the Borrower for
conversion, exchange, exercise or purchase, as the case may be, or as otherwise
determined in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice
of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether and to
what extent this Note is convertible (vis-à-vis such other Convertible
Securities or Options), in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation.  In determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for
purposes of calculating the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder may rely
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (i) the
Borrower’s most recent Periodic Report containing such information, (ii) a more
recent public announcement by the Borrower, or (iii) any other notice or
disclosure by the Borrower or the Borrower’s Transfer Agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and the Holder may rely on
knowledge it may have concerning any shares of Common Stock issued which are not
reflected in the preceding clauses (i) through (iii) (e.g., issuances to the
Holder upon a prior Note conversion since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported).  Upon the written or oral
request of the Holder, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding.  Each delivery of a Notice of Conversion by the Holder will
constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation
set forth in this Section 4(c) and determined, based on this Section 4(c), that
the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in such Notice of
Conversion is permitted under this Section 4(c), and the Borrower shall have no
obligation to verify or confirm such determination.  No conversion of this Note
in violation of this Section 4(c) but otherwise in accordance with this Note
shall affect the status of the Conversion Shares as validly issued, fully-paid
and nonassessable.  By written notice to the Borrower, the Holder may at any
time and from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Ownership Percentage
to any other percentage specified in such notice (or specify that the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation shall no longer be applicable), provided, however, that (A)
any such increase (or inapplicability) shall not be effective until the
sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower, (B) any
such increase or decrease shall apply only to the Holder and not to any other
holder of Notes, and (C) the Maximum Ownership Percentage shall not be less than
4.9%.  The provisions of this Section 4(c) shall be construed and implemented in
a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c)
to correct this provision (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein
or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation.  The Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in this
Section shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note.  If at any time the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation makes this Note unconvertible in whole or in
part, the Borrower shall not by reason thereof be relieved of its obligation to
issue shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time thereafter upon
conversion of this Note as and when shares of Common Stock may be issued in
compliance with such limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or
any other Transaction Document to the contrary, as of the date of this Note, the
Maximum Ownership Percentage calculated in accordance with this Section 2.3(A)
shall equal 9.99%.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
(B)             Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or any other
Transaction Document to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock that
may be issued to the Holder pursuant to a conversion of this Note after the date
hereof, combined with an exercise of the Exchange Warrant (as defined in the
Settlement Agreement dated as of November 22, 2010 between Holder and the
Borrower (the "Settlement Agreement")), shall not exceed a cap determined by (a)
dividing the sum of (i) the original principal amount of the Note ($740,578),
plus (ii) an amount equal to all interest that would accrue under the Note
during its term (assuming no payment of principal or interest are made after the
date hereof but prior to the Maturity Date), by a price per share of Common
Stock equal to $0.16 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of this
Note) and (b) then adding the sum calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause
(a) to the maximum number of Warrant Shares (as defined in the Exchange Warrant)
that may be acquired by the holder thereof upon exercise of the Exchange Warrant
(regardless of whether such exercise is a cashless exercise).

2.4           Delivery of Conversion Shares.

(a) Upon the conversion of this Note or part thereof, the Borrower shall, at its
own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and
delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Borrower's transfer agent
shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its permitted nominee)
or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be
specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion. If such opinion of counsel is not rendered by the
Borrower's counsel, Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to accept an
opinion of counsel selected by the Holder.

(b) Within three (3) business days (such third business day being the
"Unlegended Shares Delivery Date") after the business day on which the Borrower
has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, or any other Common Stock held
by Holder has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements,
or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been
satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144,
customary representation letters of the Holder and, if required, Holder's broker
regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Borrower at its
expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the
Borrower to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Holder) an appropriate
instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of
Common Stock without any legends (the "Unlegended Shares"); and (z) cause the
transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together
with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common
Stock certificate, if any, to the Holder at the address specified in the notice
of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before
the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.

(c) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended
Shares, upon request of Holder, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear
a legend and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of
Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such
DWAC system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date.

(d) The Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended
Shares pursuant to Section later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could
result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such
loss, the Borrower agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty) to the Holder for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the
amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of
purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If
during any 360 day period, the Borrower fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as
required by this Section for an aggregate of thirty days, then each Holder or
assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require
the Borrower to redeem all or any portion of the Shares subject to such default
at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction in
which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the
aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest
conversion price during such thirty day period, multiplied by the price paid by
Holder for such Common Stock ("Unlegended Redemption Amount"). The Borrower
shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available
funds upon demand.

(e) In the event a Holder shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as
described in this Section and the Borrower is required to deliver such
Unlegended Shares pursuant to this Section, the Borrower may not refuse to
deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that the Holder or anyone
associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of
law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining
order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of the
Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Borrower and the
Borrower has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount
of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock which
are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall
remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute
and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent Holder
obtains judgment in Holder's favor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(f) In addition to any other rights available to Holder, if the Borrower fails
to deliver to a Holder Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Note and
after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date, the Holder or a broker on the
Holder's behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares
of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the
shares of Common Stock which the Holder was entitled to receive from the
Borrower (a "Buy-In"), then the Borrower shall pay in cash to the Holder (in
addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by
which (A) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate
purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Borrower for
reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15%
per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in
full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).
For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase
price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Borrower for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares, the Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus
interest. The Holder shall provide the Borrower written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(g) In the event commencing six months after the Closing Date and ending
twenty-four months thereafter, the Holder is not permitted to resell any of the
Conversion Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted
but subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result
of the unavailability to Holder of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any
successor rule (a "144 Default"), for any reason other than as a result of an
action taken or omitted to be taken by Holder, and except for Holder's status as
an Affiliate or "control person" of the Borrower, then the Borrower shall pay
such Holder as liquidated damages and not as a penalty an amount equal to two
percent (2%) for each thirty days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period
less than thirty days) thereafter of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares
subject to such 144 Default during the pendency of the 144 Default. Liquidated
Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section in connection with Shares
for such times as such Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without volume
or other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) promulgate under the 1933
Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

ARTICLE III

The occurrence of any of the following events of default ("Event of Default")
