                  2.1. CONVERSION INTO THE BORROWER'S COMMON STOCK.

                  (a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the
issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to
convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, (the date of
giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid
and nonassessable shares of common stock of Borrower as such stock exists on the
date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into
which such stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the "Common Stock")
at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion
Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Company of a Notice
of Conversion as described in Section 9 of the subscription agreement entered
into between the Company and Holder relating to this Note (the "Subscription
Agreement") of the Holder's written request for conversion, Borrower shall issue
and deliver to the Holder within three business days from the Conversion Date
that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in
accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Company will
deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note through the Conversion Date
directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the
Subscription Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
principal of the Note to be converted, by the Conversion Price. The Company may
elect to pay interest on Principal being converted by delivering Common Stock
valued at the Conversion Price applied to the Principal being converted but only
if such Common Stock is: (i) timely delivered; (ii) is included for unrestricted
resale in an effective registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) of
the Subscription Agreement; (iii) no Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing; and (iv) receipt of such Common Stock by the holder would not exceed
the maximum conversion limitation amount described in Section 9.3 of the
Subscription Agreement.

                  (b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c)
hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be the lowest of (i) one dollar and
fifty cents ($1.50) ("Maximum Base Price"); (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the
average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the
thirty (30) trading days prior to but not including the Conversion Date on the
NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange,
or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the
principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, the "Principal
Market"); or (iii) if not then trading on a Principal Market, seventy-five
percent (75%) of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices for the
Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days prior to but not including the
Conversion Date on such other principal market or exchange where the Common
Stock is listed or traded.

                  (c) The Maximum Base Price described in Section 2.1(b)(i)
above and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon
conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this
conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:




                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                           A. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at
any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or
substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the
unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter
be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or
other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on
account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect
to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such
successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

                           B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time
shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same
or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to
the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall
thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of
such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result
of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change.

                           C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the
shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock
in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced
in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased
in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such event.

                           D. Share Issuance. Subject to the provisions of this
Section, if the Borrower at any time shall issue any shares of Common Stock
prior to the conversion of the entire principal amount of the Note (otherwise
than as: (i) provided in Sections 2.1(c)A, 2.1(c)B or 2.1(c)C or this
subparagraph D; (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to
issue shares, outstanding on the date hereof as described in the Reports and
Other Written Information, as such terms are defined in the Subscription
Agreement (which agreement is incorporated herein by this reference); or (iii)
Excepted Issuances, as defined in Section 11 of the Subscription Agreement; all




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

securities issuances pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, are
hereinafter referred to as the "Excluded Issuances" for a consideration less
than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue,
then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Conversion Price
shall be reduced as follows: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be multiplied by the
Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issue and the product shall be
added to the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Borrower upon such
issue of additional shares of Common Stock; and (ii) the sum so obtained shall
be divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such issue. The resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Maximum Base Price.
Except for the Excluded Issuances, for purposes of this adjustment, the issuance
of any security of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security into
shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common
Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights.

                  (d) During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number
of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion
of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents,
and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

                  2.2 METHOD OF CONVERSION. This Note may be converted by the
Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the
Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note
containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of
the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of
this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                EVENT OF DEFAULT

                  The occurrence of any of the following events of default
("Event of Default") shall, at the option of the Holder hereof, make all sums of
principal and interest then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts
payable hereunder immediately due and payable, all without demand, presentment
or notice, or grace period, all of which hereby are expressly waived, except as
set forth below:

                  3.1 FAILURE TO PAY PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST. The Borrower fails
to pay any installment of principal or interest hereon when due and such failure
continues for a period of five (5) days after the due date. The five (5) day
period described in this Section 3.1 is the same five (5) day period described
in Section 1.1 hereof.

                  3.2 BREACH OF COVENANT. The Borrower breaches any material
covenant or other term or condition of this Note in any material respect and
