($334,905) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Senior Secured
Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”).  Payment
for all amounts due hereunder shall be made by mail to the registered address of

all other present and future security agreements between the Company and Holder.
In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company will issue warrants
(the “Warrants”)
to purchase shares of the Company’s $.001 par value common stock (the “Common

    The following is a
statement of the rights of Holder of this Note and the conditions to which this
Note is subject, and to which Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note,
agrees:

     

    1.           Maturity;
Partial Prepayment.  The principal hereof and any unpaid
accrued interest hereon, as set forth below, shall be due and payable on the

occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below).

     

     

    2.           Interest.  The

of (i) eight percent (8%) per annum; or (ii) the maximum allowable rate under
applicable laws (such rate, the “Interest

beginning on the date of this Note and ending on the date that the principal
amount of this Note is repaid in full.  Interest shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days
elapsed.  Interest accruing on this Note shall be due and payable at
the Maturity Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.  The
Company shall pay the interest due on this Note by delivering to Holder
cash.  All payments hereunder are to be applied first to reasonable
costs and fees referred to herein, second to the payment of accrued interest,
and the remaining balance to the payment of principal.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    3.           Events
of Default.  If any of the events specified in this Section 3

entire principal and unpaid accrued interest hereon immediately due and payable,
by notice in writing to the Company:

     

    (a)           Default
in the payment of the principal or unpaid accrued interest of this Note when due
and payable, which default is not cured within ten (10) days after the Holder
has given the
Company written notice thereof;

     

    (b)           A
material breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Note,
which failure or default is not cured within ten (10) days after the Holder has
given the
Company written notice thereof;

     

    (c)           The
institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or
insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or release under the Federal Bankruptcy Act, or any other
applicable Federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such
petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or
other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its
property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such
action;

     

    (d)           If,
within 60 calendar days after the commencement of an action against the Company,
without the consent or acquiescence of the Company (and service of process in
connection therewith on the Company) seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or
future statute, law or regulation, such action shall not have been resolved in
favor of the Company or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the
operations or the business of the Company stayed, or if the stay of any such
order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within 60 calendar
days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of
any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial
part of the properties of the Company, such appointment shall not have been
vacated;

     

    (e)           If
a judgment or judgments or order for the payment of money in excess of $50,000
in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Company and the same shall not,
within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, have been discharged or
execution thereof stayed or bonded pending appeal (even if not fully covered by
insurance) or unless such judgment is fully covered by collectible insurance and
such insurer has within such period acknowledged such coverage in
writing;

     

    (f)           Any
material breach of the Security Agreement between the parties of even date

    4.           Holder’s
Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and
continuance of any Event of Default, Holder in its sole and absolute discretion
shall have the right to:

     

    (i)           convert
all of the principal amount and unpaid accrued interest attributable to this
Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per
share;

     

    (ii)           declare
all unpaid interest and principal immediately due and payable and exercise all
other legal rights in connection therewith, without presentment, demand, or
protest, all of which
are hereby expressly waived; or

     

    (iii)           in
case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing and
acceleration of the Note or any other indebtedness of the Company to Holder
shall have occurred, Holder may, among other things, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained
herein, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or
thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by
law. No right conferred upon Holder hereby shall be exclusive of any other right
referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity,
by statute or otherwise.

     

    5.           Conversion;
Optional Reinvestment.

     

    (a)           Optional
Conversion.  Holder, at its sole discretion, may elect to
convert the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on this
Note into shares of Common Stock at any time; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess
of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
(other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned
through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised
or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company (including, without
limitation, the Warrants issued by the Borrower) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2)
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion
of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being
made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of
more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided
in clause (1) of such proviso. The Holder of this Note may waive the limitations
set forth herein by sixty-one (61) days written notice to the Company. The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion shall be
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the outstanding principal and
unpaid accrued interest due on this Note on the date of conversion, by (b) the
conversion price of $0.50 per share (“Conversion Price”). The Common Stock
received by Holder pursuant to the conversion of the Note shall be referred to
as the “Conversion
Shares.”

     

    (b)           Identical
Terms.  The Common Stock received by Holder pursuant to the
conversion of the Note hereunder shall have identical rights, preferences and
privileges as those shares of Common Stock currently held by stockholders in the
Company.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c)           Conversion
Procedure.  If this Note is to be converted, written notice
shall be delivered by Holder to the Company, notifying the Company of the
conversion to be effected, specifying the principal amount of the Note to be
converted, the amount of accrued interest to be converted. Holder will surrender
this Note within 10 business days after receiving the Conversion Shares
hereunder.  Promptly upon receipt of this Note, the Company will issue
a new note on the same terms as provided herein for any amount of this Note not
being converted.

     

    (d)           Delivery
of Stock Certificates.  As promptly as practicable after the
conversion of this Note but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days
after the date of delivery of the notice to the Company under Section 5(c), the
Company at its expense will issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of the Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion.  Upon conversion of the Note, the Company shall take
all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Conversion Shares
issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     

    (e)           Mechanics
and Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of the Company
issuing any fractional shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the
Company shall pay to Holder the amount of outstanding principal and interest
that is not so converted, such payment to be in the form as provided
below.  Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall be forever
released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note (to the
extent of the amounts converted), except that the Company shall be obligated to
pay Holder, within 10 business days after the date of such conversion, any
interest accrued and unpaid or unconverted to and including the date of such
conversion, and no more.

     

    (f)           Notices
of Record Date, etc.  In the event of:

     

    (i)           any
taking by the Company of a record of holders of any class of securities of the
Company for the purpose of determining holders thereof who are entitled to
receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus
at the same rate as that of the last such cash dividend theretofore paid) or
other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right;

     

     

    (ii)           any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization
of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company to any other person or any consolidation or merger
involving the Company; or

     

     

    (iii)           any
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    the
Company will mail to Holder at least 20 calendar days prior to the earliest date
specified therein, a notice specifying:

     

    (A)           The
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right; and

     

    (B)           The
date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to
become effective and the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
vote thereon.

     

    (g)           Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company shall, before
the conversion of this Note into Common Stock pursuant to the terms set forth
herein, increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as
necessary, and at all times reserve and keep available out of such duly
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, such number of its duly
authorized Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of the
Note pursuant to the terms set forth herein.  If at any relevant time
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount
of this Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to
Holder, the Company will use its best efforts to forthwith take such corporate
action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.

     

    (h)           Effect
of Certain Events on the Conversion Price.  In the event that
the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend
or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the
Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be
adjusted by multiplying the then Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion
Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening
of any successive event or events described herein in this Section
5(h).  If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, the
Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 5(h) hereof is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration
or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or
commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith)
less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed
issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then
immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to
the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such
Dilutive Issuance; provided that only one adjustment will be made for each
Dilutive Issuance.

     

    For the
purposes of this Section 5(h), the Company shall be deemed to have issued or
sold shares of Common Stock if the Company in any manner issues or grants any
warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to
subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants,
rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are
hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion
Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per
share.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (i)           Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in Section 5(h), the
Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
and prepare and furnish to the Holder of a certificate setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request
at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting
forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time
in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any,
of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon
conversion of this Note.

     

    6.           Prepayment.  Upon
ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Holder, the Company may at any
time prepay in whole or in part, the principal sum, plus accrued interest to
date of such prepayment, of this Note; provided that, after the date of such
notice and prior to the proposed prepayment date, Holder may elect to convert
such amounts into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Price
pursuant to Section 5.

     

               7.           Subscription
Rights.  So long as this Note is outstanding, Holder shall have
the right to participate on a pro rata basis in any offering of the Company’s
securities on the same terms and conditions as the other subscribers to such
offering.

     

    8.           Representations
and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and
warrants:

     

     

    (a)           Due
Organization and Qualification.  The Company is an entity duly
incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as
applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted.  The Company is in no violation or default of any of the
provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents.  The Company is duly
qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except
where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be,
could not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse
effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Note, the Warrant or
the Security Agreement (the “Transaction
Documents”), (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform
in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction
Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material
Adverse Effect”) and to the Company’s knowledge no proceeding has been
instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking
to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or
qualification.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)           Authorization;
Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each
of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder.  The execution and delivery of each of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company, its board of directors or its stockholders in connection
therewith.  Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will
have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms
except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies.

     

    (c)           No
Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance and sale of the securities
and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with or result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or
other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is
subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by
which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected.

     

    (d)           Litigation.  There
is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative
agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign)
(collectively, an “Action”)
which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the securities or (ii)
could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company, nor any
director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving
a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a
claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

     

    9.           Successors
and Assigns; Assignment.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of

successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under
or by reason of this Note, except as expressly provided herein.  The
Company may not assign this Note or any of the rights or obligations referenced
herein without the prior written consent of Holder.

     

    10.           Waiver
and Amendment.  Any provision of this Note may be amended,
waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and
Holder.

of Notice.  The Company expressly waives presentment for
payment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and
expressly agrees that this Note may be extended from time to time without in any
way affecting the liability of the Company.  No delay or omission on
the part of Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
of such right or of any other right under this Note.  The obligations
of the Company under this Note shall not be subject to reduction, limitation,
impairment, termination, defense, set-off, counterclaim or recoupment for any
reason.

     

    12.           Treatment
of Note.  To the extent permitted by generally accepted
accounting principles, the Company will treat, account and report the Note as
