      provided herein until this Note is paid in full.

    


    The
      Corporation covenants, promises and
      agrees as follows:

    


    1.           Interest.  Interest
      that shall accrue on the Principal Amount shall be payable quarterly beginning
      on November 30, 2007.

     

    2.           Prepayment.  The
      Corporation may prepay this Note without notice by paying to the Holder the
      entire outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest on
      this
      Note.

    


    3.           Conversion.

     

    3.1.                      The
      Holder of this Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, upon a
      Default Event, at the conclusion of the term of the note, to convert the
      Principal Amount of this Note and accrued but unpaid interest into such number
      of fully paid and nonassessable Shares, as shall be provided
      herein.

     

    3.2.                      The

      beginning of the exercise by the Holder or transferee hereof of any one or
      more
      of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
      exercise by the Holder hereof of any or all such other rights, powers or

      insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Note or to exercise
      any
      right, power or remedy consequent upon a default hereunder shall constitute

      waiver of any such term or of any such breach, or preclude the Holder hereof
      from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or
      times.  The failure of the Holder of this Note to give notice of any
      failure or breach of the Corporation under this Note shall not constitute a

      or
      any subsequent failure or breach.

     

    6.           Consent
