Section 3 shall be applied as follows:

in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment

or




          (d) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company seeking
liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its
property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall
remain undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or an order for relief shall be entered

-107-









 









	   	then, and in each and every such Event of Default, the Holder may, by written notice to the
Company, declare this Note to be, and this Note shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable
in full without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by the Company; provided, however, that in the case of any of the Events of Default
specified in clauses (c) or (d) above, without any notice to the Company or any other act by the
Holder or the other Investors, this Note shall become immediately due and payable in full without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
Company.





     5. Conversion.



          5.1. Conversion. At the option of the Holder, exercised in accordance with
this Section 5, at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, all or any portion of
the outstanding Principal and Interest shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate Principal and Interest then
outstanding by (ii) the Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Holder
shall have the right to exercise its conversion rights hereunder after receipt of a Prepayment
Notice and on or prior to the date of any such prepayment by the Company in accordance with such
Prepayment Notice.




          5.2. Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case the Company shall at any time issue
shares of Common Stock for no consideration by way of dividend or other distribution on the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case
of such dividend, distribution or subdivision, or increased in the case of combination and, in
either case, rounded up or down to the nearest one cent. An adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 5.2 shall become effective when such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination, as
the case may be, is actually made or becomes effective.




          (b) No adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be made by reason of the issuance in exchange for
cash, property or services of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock, or carrying the right to purchase any of the
foregoing.




          (c) In case of any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Company or the
outstanding Common Stock or in the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
entity as a result of which the Company is not the surviving entity, or in the case of any sale of
all, or substantially all, of its property, the Holder shall instead thereafter have the right
pursuant to Section 5.1 to convert the outstanding Principal and Interest under this Note into the
kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock which the Holder would have had the right to convert this Note into immediately
prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, at a price equal to
the Conversion Price then in effect pertaining to this Note (the kind, amount and price of such
stock or other securities or property to be subject to subsequent adjustment as provided in this
Section 5.2). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issuance of Common Stock or other securities
pursuant to the acquisition by the Company of all or substantially all of the stock, other
securities or property of any other entity.




          (d) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Conversion Price, this Note and any replacement
notes theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind
of shares as are stated in this Note.




-108-









 








          5.3. Mechanics of Conversion. If the Holder determines to convert all or any portion
of this Note pursuant to Section 5.1, the Holder shall (i) notify the Company, in writing, at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the contemplated date, of the Holder’s election to convert all or
any portion of this Note, and (ii) surrender this Note for cancellation, duly endorsed, at the
office of the Company, or at such other place designated by the Company. Such conversion shall be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of
this Note as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.




          5.4. Issuance of Certificates; Issuance Tax. Promptly upon conversion of any
outstanding Principal and Interest, the Company shall issue to the Holder certificates representing
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Principal and Interest, have been converted.
Upon conversion of an amount less than the total outstanding Principal and Interest then, subject
to Section 5.5, the Company shall issue to the Holder a duly authorized, validly issued replacement
note evidencing the portion of the outstanding Principal and Interest that was not so converted.
The issuance of certificates for Conversion Securities or a replacement note shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof, if any, other than taxes in
connection with the issuance of a certificate for Conversion Securities in the name of any Person
other than the Holder.




          5.5. No Fractional Shares; Release of Obligations under Note. No fractional
Conversion Securities shall be issued upon conversion of the outstanding Principal and Interest
under this Note; rather, the Company shall round the number of Conversion Securities to be issued
to the nearest whole number. Upon conversion or payment in full of the outstanding Principal and
Interest and any other amounts due and payable under this Note and the issuance of any securities
or other property issuable in connection with the conversion hereof, the Company shall be forever
released from all of its obligations, undertakings and liabilities under this Note.




     6. Replacement of Note.



          Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Note, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it (with or without requirement of a surety bond in the Company’s sole discretion),
and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and (if
mutilated) upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall make and deliver to the
Holder a new promissory note of like tenor in lieu of this Note. Any replacement promissory note
made and delivered in accordance with this Section 6 shall be dated as of the date hereof.




     7. Miscellaneous.



          7.1. Survival. All agreements and covenants contained in this Note shall survive the
execution hereof and shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (i) the
payment in full of all outstanding Principal and Interest, and any other amounts due and payable,
under this Note, and (ii) the conversion of all outstanding Principal and Interest under this Note,
if applicable, into Conversion Securities in accordance with Section 5.




          7.2. Assignment. The Holder may not assign or otherwise dispose of this Note or the
rights and obligations hereunder (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent
of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Note may not be
assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Holder unless (i) registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or (ii) the Company receives an opinion of counsel to the proposed
transferor in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such proposed
assignment or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws. Any
instrument purporting to make an assignment or other disposition in violation of this Section
7.2 shall be void.




          7.3. Benefits of Note. The terms and provisions of this Note shall be binding upon
the





-109-









 








successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the Company and the Holder and
shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Person who shall be a registered holder
of this Note from time to time. The Holder shall have no rights as a member of the Company solely

          7.4. Severability. In case any provision of this Note shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.




          7.5. Further Assurances. The Holder agrees to execute such other documents,

for which given.




          7.7. Delays or Omissions. No delay by the Holder or the Holder’s agents in exercising
any powers or rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such power or right, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the
exercise of any other power or right hereunder or otherwise.
