    CONVERSION
      RIGHTS

    


    The
      Holder shall have the right to convert the outstanding principal and interest
      due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, no par value
      per
      share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below.

    


    2.1. Conversion
      into the Borrower's Common Stock.

    


    (a) Subject
      to the terms of this Note, the Holder shall have the right from and after the
      occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not such Event of Default is
      cured, and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any
      outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest,
      at
      the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion
      being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
      Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares
      of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be
      changed or reclassified, at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b)
      hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery
      to
      the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed
      hereto, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business
      days from the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery 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 Borrower
      will
      deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note through the Conversion Date
      directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date. 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 and interest to be
      converted, by the Conversion Price.

    


    (b)  Subject
      to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof and the Subscription
      Agreement, the Conversion Price per share shall be seventy-five percent (75%)
      of
      the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices of the Common
      Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market for the twenty
      trading days preceding a Conversion Date.

    


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

    


    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 as if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to such
      event. 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 that may be issued or outstanding, 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 as if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to
      such
      event.

     

    2


    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    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 before such event bears to the total number of shares
      of
      Common Stock outstanding immediately after to such event..

     

    D. Share
      Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue
      or
      agree to issue any shares of Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances
      for
      a consideration less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such
      issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Conversion
      Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this
      adjustment, the issuance of any security 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 the above-described security and again upon the issuance of
      shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights
      if
      such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price.
      The
      reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition
      to
      other rights of the Holder described in this Note and the Subscription
      Agreement.

    


    (d) Whenever
      the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower
      shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
      after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring
      such
      adjustment.

    


    (e) During
      the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its
      authorized and unissued Common Stock required to be reserved as set forth in
      the
      Subscription Agreement. 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.

    


    2.3 Maximum
      Conversion.
      The
      Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of
      the
      Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be
      in
      excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
      owned
      by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock
      issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii)
      the
      number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with
      respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a
      Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and
      its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
      of
      the Borrower on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of this Section 2.3,
      beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
      the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
      Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate
      conversions of only 9.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may exceed
      9.99%. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether
      the restriction contained in this Section 2.3 will limit any conversion
      hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
      contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the
      Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.
      The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 2.3,
      in
      whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to
      the
      Borrower. The Holder may decide whether to convert a Note or exercise this
      Warrant to achieve an actual 9.99% ownership position.

    SECURITY
      INTEREST

    


    4. Security
      Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay.
      This
      Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for
      the
      benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower
      to Holder. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under
      any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or
      if
      any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become
      the
      subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should
      be
      entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the
      Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder
      are parties (collectively, "Loan Documents") and/or applicable law, an order
      from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to
      11
      U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and
      remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. THE BORROWER
      EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION
      362. FURTHERMORE, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER
      11
      U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE
      OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY,
      INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER
      TO
      ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR
      APPLICABLE LAW. The Borrower hereby consents to any motion for relief from
      stay
      that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding
      initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any
      opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder. The Borrower
      represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and
      material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree
      to
      the terms of the Loan Documents if this waiver were not a part of this Note.
      The
      Borrower further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is
      knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor
      any
      person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce
      this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity
      to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in
      the
      making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower
      and
      that the Borrower has discussed this waiver with counsel.

      or state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State and
      county of New York. Each
      of

      waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any
      claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of
      such
