(b)  Rights of Note Holder. Nothing in this Note shall be construed to modify,
amend or limit in any way the right of the holder of this Note to bring an
action against the Company.
 
Article 3.
Conversion

(a)  Automatic Conversion. Upon the filing of both the Restated Certificate and
the Certificate of Designation, the principal and interest of this Note shall be
automatically converted into such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and Warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth on
Schedule A to this Agreement without any action on the part of the holder. Such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants are referred to as the Automatic
Conversion Securities. Upon such conversion, this Note and the Company’s
obligations under this Note (including the obligation to pay interest) shall
terminate.
 
(b)  Conversions at Option of Holder. This Note shall be initially convertible
(subject to the 4.9% Limitations, as defined in Section 3(d) of this Note), in
whole at any time or in part from time to time into such number of shares of
Common Stock and Warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as
is determined by multiplying each element of the Optional Conversion Securities
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount being converted
and the denominator of which is the initial principal amount of this Note. The
Optional Conversion Securities are set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement.
Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of
conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) executed
by the Holder, together with the delivery by the Holder to the Company of this
Note, with this Note being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the Company or
with an applicable stock power duly executed by the Holder in the manner and
form as deemed reasonable by the transfer agent of the Common Stock; provided,
however, that at the election of the Holder, the Holder may execute the Notice
of Conversion and transmit the Notice of Conversion to the Company. Each Notice
of Conversion shall specify the principal amount of this Note to be converted,
the principal amount of this Note outstanding prior to the conversion at issue,
the principal amount of this Note owned subsequent to the conversion at issue,
and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be
prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion and the Note to
the Company by overnight delivery service or by telecopier or PDF (the
“Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of
Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the Trading Day immediately following
the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are
received by the Company. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of
Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. The
principal amount of this Note being converted into Optional Conversion
Securities in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(b) shall be canceled
and may not be reissued.
 
(c)  Automatic Conversion Upon Change of Control. This Note shall be
automatically converted into the Optional Conversion Securities upon the close
of business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for
consummation of any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of the Company
(an “Automatic Conversion Event”). A “Change in Control” means a consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the
Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the
then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or series of
transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates
evidencing the Common Stock and Warrants or other consideration issuable upon
such conversion unless this Note is either delivered to the Company or its
transfer agent or the Holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent in
writing that such certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes
an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss
incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the conversion of this Note
pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Company shall promptly send written notice
thereof, by hand delivery or by overnight delivery, to the Holder at its address
then shown on the records of the Company, which notice shall state that this
Note must be surrendered at the office of the Company (or of its transfer agent
for the Common Stock, if applicable).

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

 
(d)  Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Except as provided in Section 3(c) of this
Note, which shall apply as stated therein if an Automatic Conversion Event shall
occur, the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder
shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note to the extent that
after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and
upon exercise of the Warrants issued upon conversion of this Note with respect
to which the determination of beneficial ownership is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A)
conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of this Note beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates, and (B) exercise or conversion of
the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its affiliates, so long as such other securities of the Company are not
exercisable nor convertible within sixty (60) days from the date of such
determination.  For purposes of this Section 3(d), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of the
following: (A) the Company’s most recent quarterly reports, Form 10-Q, Form
10-QSB, Annual Reports, Form 10-K, or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, as filed
with the Commission under the Exchange Act (B) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (C) any other written notice by the Company or the Company’s
transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. 
Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2)
Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or
exercise of securities of the Company, including the Note, by the Holder or its
affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was publicly reported by the Company. Beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. This Section
3(d) may be not be waived or amended. The limitation set forth in this Section
3(d) is referred to as the “4.9% Limitation.”
 
(e)  Mechanics of Conversion. The following provision shall relate to the
delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable as part of the Optional
Conversion Securities and Default Conversion Securities and are referred to as
the “Conversion Shares.”
 
(i)  Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Except as otherwise set forth
herein, not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share
Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates which, after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive
legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Agreement and
the 1933 Act) representing the number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants
being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. After the effective date of the
Conversion Shares Registration Statement, as defined in the Certificate of
Designation, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any
certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this
Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another
established clearing Company performing similar functions if the Company’s
transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner.
If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are
not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading
Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written
notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate
or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the
Company shall immediately return this Note to the Holder.
 
- 4 -

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

 
(ii)  Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations
to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in
accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of
any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the
Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares.
In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of this Note, the
Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one
associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of
law, agreement or for any other reason (other than the inability of the Company
to issue shares of Common Stock as a result of the 4.9% Limitation) unless, an
injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of
all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained and the Company
posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the
Conversion Value of the principal amount of the Note outstanding (i.e., the
value of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such principal
amount of this Note) which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain
in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the
proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains
judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall
issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails
to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section
3(e)(i) within two Trading Days of the Share Delivery Date applicable to such
conversion, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Conversion Value of Note being
converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after three
(3) Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day six (6) Trading Days
after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share
Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit
a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock and Warrants upon conversion
within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
Terms defined in the Certificate of Designation and used in this Section 3(e)
shall have the same meaning in this Section 3(e) as in the Certificate of
Designation.
 
(iii)  Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after
such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of
the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the
conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at
issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of a portion of this Note with respect to which the
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
 
- 5 -

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

 
(iv)  Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of this Note and upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note and upon exercise of the Warrants issuable
upon conversion of this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive
rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall
(subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such
shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable upon the conversion of
this Note including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any
Warrants issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Company covenants
that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, non-assessable and, if the
Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the 1933 Act,
registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares
Registration Statement.
 
(v)  Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be
required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the
Common Stock. All fractional shares shall be carried forward and any fractional
shares which remain after the Holder converts the full principal amount of this
Note shall be dropped and eliminated.
 
(vi)  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common
Stock and Warrants on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to
the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate
upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person
or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.
 
(vii)  Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of
this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the
time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
- 6 -

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

 
(f)  Certain Adjustments.
 
(i)  Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time from and
after the Closing Date, while this Note is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock
dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its
Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Note), (B)
subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C)
combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of
shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the
number of shares of Common Stock in the Optional Conversion Securities shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding after such event and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
3(f)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
(ii)  Price Adjustment. From and after the Closing Date and until such time as
this Note is no longer outstanding, except for (i) Exempt Issuances, (ii)
issuances covered by Sections 3(f)(i) and 3(f)(iii) of this Note, or (iii) an
issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of warrants, options
or other convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made
pursuant to this Section 3(f), as to all of which this Section 3(f)(ii) does not
apply, if the Company closes on the sale or issuance of Common Stock at a price,
or issues warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with a
exercise price per share or conversion price which is less than the Conversion
Price then in effect (such lower sales price, conversion or exercise price, as
the case may be, being referred to as the “Lower Price”), the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable as part of the Optional Conversion Securities shall be
to a number determined by fraction, the numerator of which is thirty seven and
4/10 cents ($.374) and the denominator of which is the Lower Price. For purpose
of determining the exercise price of warrants issued by the Company, the price,
if any, paid per share for the warrants shall be added to the exercise price of
the warrants.
 
(iii)  Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants shall be adjusted as provided in the Certificate of Designation
and in the Warrants, respectively, with respect to any events of the type
described in this Section 3(f) which occur subsequent to the Closing Date.
 
(g)  Pro Rata Distributions. The Company shall not, at any time while this Note
is outstanding, make any distribution to holders of Common Stock of evidences of
its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any security.
 
(h)  Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
 
(i)  Notice to Holders.
 
(i)  Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable as part of the Optional Conversion Securities is adjusted
pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a
notice setting forth the adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security,
despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be
deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at the lowest
possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted
or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an
MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
- 7 -

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

 
(ii)  Notices of Other Events. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or
any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a
redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to
all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of
any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental Transaction, (E) the
Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall
cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their
last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at
least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as
of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification or Fundamental
Transaction; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice.
 
(j)  Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the
Conversion Price will be made in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
 
(k)  Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding,
(A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another Person, (B) the Company 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 Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company 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”),
then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the
right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon
such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of
securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the
“Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the
determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received
in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note
following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate
the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in
such Fundamental Transaction shall assume this Note.

(l)  Default Conversion Rights. If the Certificate of Amendment and the
Certificate of Designation shall not have been filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware by September 30, 2008, this Note may be convertible
into the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in Schedule C to this
Agreement (the “Default Conversion Securities”).

principal of and interest on this Note is hereby expressly subordinated, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Indebtedness, as hereinafter defined. The provisions of this Article
4 shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons who, in reliance upon such
provision, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such
provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and
such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were

interest on this Note or (B) to acquire this Note.
 
(ii)  Upon the happening of an event of default with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness, as such event of default is defined therein or in the instrument
