5.       Conversion.

         (a) Voluntary Conversion. If this Note has not been (i) converted
pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof; or (ii) prepaid pursuant to Section 14 hereof,
during the period, if any, beginning upon the closing of a merger or

electronic bulletin board, or such other public market that the Company's Common
Stock is then traded, during the 30 trading days prior to date of the
conversion. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends and the like. As a condition precedent to conversion of
this Note into shares of Common Stock, the Holders will be required to execute a
stock purchase agreement and other agreements customarily prepared in connection
with the conversion of a Note into shares of Common Stock.

<PAGE>

         (b) Conversion at Maturity Date. If this Note has not been (i)
converted pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(c) hereof; or (ii) prepaid
pursuant to Section 14 hereof, on the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the
option to choose to receive from the Company, in lieu of cash, that number of
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing all
of the unpaid principal and interest due on this Note as of the date of
conversion by the per share purchase price of the Company's Common Stock that
shall be equal to the greater of: (i) two dollars ($2.00) per share of the
Company's Common Stock; or (ii) if the Common stock is listed on an exchange,
the average of the closing bid prices per share for the Common Stock, as
reported on the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board, or such other public
market that the Company's Common Stock is then traded, during the 30 trading
days prior to date of the conversion. As a condition precedent to conversion of
this Note into shares of Common Stock, the Holders will be required to execute a
stock purchase agreement and other agreements customarily prepared in connection
with the conversion of a Note into shares of Common Stock.

         (c) Prepayment Conversion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Note to the contrary, the Company shall have the option at any time on or prior
to the Maturity Date to prepay this Note by issuing that number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing all of the
unpaid principal and interest due on this Note as of the date of conversion by
the per share purchase price of the Company's Common Stock that shall be equal
to the greater of: (i) two dollars ($2.00) per share of the Company's Common
Stock; or (ii) if the Common stock is listed on an exchange, the average of the
closing bid prices per share for the Common Stock, as reported on the
over-the-counter electronic bulletin board, or such other public market that the
Company's Common Stock is then traded, during the 30 trading days prior to date
of the conversion. As a condition precedent to conversion of this Note into
shares of Common Stock, the Holders will be required to execute a stock purchase
agreement and other agreements customarily prepared in connection with the
conversion of a Note into shares of Common Stock.

         (d) Issuance of Securities on Conversion. As soon as practicable after
conversion of this Note, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in
the name of and delivered to the Holder of this Note, a certificate or
certificates representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock to which Holder shall be entitled on such conversion. No fractional
shares will be issued on conversion of this Note. If Holder would otherwise be
entitled to a fractional share, Holder shall receive a cash payment equal to the
per share price of the Common Stock (subject to adjustment, as applicable)
multiplied by the fractional share the Holder would otherwise be entitled to
receive.

<PAGE>

         (e) Termination of Rights. All rights with respect to this Note shall
terminate upon (i) the issuance of shares of Common Stock (as applicable) upon
conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 5; or (ii) upon prepayment
pursuant to Section 14 hereof, whether or not this Note has been surrendered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder agrees to surrender this Note to the

<PAGE>

         1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT" OR "SECURITIES ACT"). SUCH SECURITIES MAY
         NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS
         THE TRANSFER IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR A SIMILAR RULE AS THEN
         IN EFFECT UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION RECEIVES AN OPINION
         OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR
         TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY
         REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE
         OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT

representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all
respects with the provisions of this Section 9(c). Prior to any proposed sale,
assignment, transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in
effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed
transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such
Holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge. Each
such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and shall be
accomplished at such Holder's expense by an unqualified written opinion of legal
counsel who shall be, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed
transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under
the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be
entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of
the notice delivered by the holder to the Company. Each certificate evidencing
the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if
such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend
set forth in Section 9(b) above, except that such certificate shall not bear
such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel for such holder and the
Company such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any
provisions of the Securities Act.

10.      Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer
described in Sections 9 and 12, the rights and obligations of Company and Holder
hereunder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs,

or substantially all of Company's property and assets.
