Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this "Note") is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below) on the Closing Date (collectively, the "Notes" and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the "Other Notes").  Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 28.

1.

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL.  On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, on such Principal and Interest.  The "Maturity Date" shall be December 21, 2010, as may be extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) or any event that shall have occurred and be continuing that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date.  Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on Principal and Interest, if any.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 1 to the contrary, the Holder may, at its option and in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to the Company at least two (2) days prior to the Maturity Date electing to have the payment of all or any portion of the Principal and Interest payable on the Maturity Date deferred (such amount deferred, the "Deferral Amount") up to a date that is two (2) years after the Maturity Date, which date shall thereafter be the "Maturity Date" for all purposes hereunder.  Any notice delivered by the Holder pursuant to this Section 1 shall set forth (i) the Deferral Amount and (ii) the date that such Deferral Amount shall now be payable.

2.

INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.  a)  Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on December 21, 2008 and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months and shall be payable in arrears for each Calendar Quarter on the first (1st) day of the succeeding Calendar Quarter during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (each, an "Interest Date") with the first Interest Date being April 1, 2009.  Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, in shares of Common Stock ("Interest Shares") so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to the Holder either (i) pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash ("Cash Interest"), (ii) by capitalizing such Interest on and as of each Interest Date by adding it to the then outstanding Principal of this Note (the "Capitalized Interest") or (iii) in a combination of Cash Interest, Capitalized Interest and Interest Shares.  The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, an "Interest Election Notice") to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the Interest Notice Due Date (the date such notice is delivered to all of the holders, the "Interest Notice Date") which notice (1) either (A) confirms that Interest to be paid on such Interest Date shall be paid entirely in Interest Shares or (B) elects to pay Interest as Cash Interest, Capitalized Interest or a combination of Cash Interest, Capitalized Interest and Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest, Capitalized Interest and/or the amount of Interest that shall be paid in Interest Shares and (2) certifies that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure.  If any portion of Interest for a particular Interest Date shall be paid in 






			
	10573480.5

	- 2 -

	 











Interest Shares, then the Company shall pay to the Holder, in accordance with Section 2(b), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the amount of Interest payable on the applicable Interest Date in Interest Shares divided by (y) the applicable Interest Conversion Price.  Interest to be paid on an Interest Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share).  If the Equity Conditions were satisfied as of the Interest Notice Date but the Equity Conditions are no longer satisfied at any time prior to the Interest Date, the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect indicating that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the Interest shall be paid in cash and/or Capitalized Interest.  

(b)

When any Interest Shares are to be paid on an Interest Date, the Company shall (i) (A) provided that the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such action is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC, credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date, to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Date, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Interest Date, pay to the Holder, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Cash Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay Interest in Interest Shares and shall be required to pay such Interest in cash as Cash Interest on the applicable Interest Date if, unless waived in writing by the Holder, there has been an Equity Conditions Failure.  If an Event of Default or Equity Conditions Failure occurs during the Interest Measuring Period, then on the Interest Date, at the Holder's option, the Holder may require the Company to pay all or any specified portion of the Interest due on the applicable Interest Date as Cash Interest.

(c)

Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount in accordance with Section 3(b)(i).  From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to fifteen percent (15.0%) per annum; provided, however, that in the event an Event of Default occurs at any time prior to December 21, 2008, the Company shall pay Interest to the Holder , in addition to any previously paid Interest, at an Interest Rate equal to eight and three-quarters percent (8.75%) per annum.  In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Interest Shares.

3.

CONVERSION OF NOTES.  This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.05 per share (the "Common Stock"), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a)

Conversion Right.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b)

Conversion Rate.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate").

(i)

"Conversion Amount" means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal, and (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest.

(ii)

"Conversion Price" means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, $5.45, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(b)

Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)

Optional Conversion.  To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).  On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation (the “Conversion Confirmation”) of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent.  On or before the (2nd) second Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC's Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including any Interest Shares) to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of 






			
	10573480.5

	- 4 -

	 











shares of Common Stock (including any Interest Shares) to which the Holder shall be entitled.  If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted.  The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

(ii)

Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (a "Conversion Failure"), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In") or on any date of the Company's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (B) below, then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (A) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (B) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (1) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (2) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

(iii)

Registration; Book-Entry.  The Company shall maintain a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the "Registered Notes").  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.  Upon its receipt of a request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by a Holder, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 18.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the 






			
	10573480.5

	- 5 -

	 











Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges, if any, converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(iv)

Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes.  In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date.  In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 23.

(v)

Company's Right of Mandatory Conversion.  

(1)

Mandatory Conversion.  If at any time from and after the Mandatory Conversion Trigger Date (the "Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date"), (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock exceeds for any twenty (20) Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) out of any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period following the Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date (the "Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period") 135% of the Conversion Price on the Issuance Date (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events during such period) (the "Mandatory Conversion Condition") and (ii) there shall not have been any Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert all, or any portion, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) with respect to the Conversion Amount (a "Mandatory Conversion").  The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 3(c)(v) by delivering within not more than twenty (20) Trading Days following the end of such Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes and the Transfer Agent (the "Mandatory Conversion Notice" and the date all of the holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the "Mandatory Conversion Notice Date").  The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable except with respect to a Mandatory Conversion Conditions Failure (as defined below).  The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with this Section 3(c)(v), which Trading Day shall be at least thirty (30) Trading Days, but no more than forty (40) Trading Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), (ii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes subject to mandatory conversion from the 






			
	10573480.5

	- 6 -

	 











Holder and all of the holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3(c)(v) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes), (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date and (iv) that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided, however, that the Company may not effect a Mandatory Conversion under this Section in excess of the Holder Pro Rata Amount of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Volume Limitation.  On the Business Day immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate (the "Mandatory Conversion Certification") signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying that since the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date, (x) the Mandatory Conversion Condition has been met for the Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date and (y) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided, that to the extent the Company is unable to deliver the foregoing Mandatory Conversion Certification (a "Mandatory Conversion Conditions Failure"), such Mandatory Conversion Certification shall instead state that the conditions have not been met and that such Mandatory Conversion Notice is revoked and null and void; provided, further, that a failure by the Company to deliver a Mandatory Conversion Certification to the Holder on the Business Day immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date shall be deemed to be a Mandatory Conversion Conditions Failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect only one (1) Mandatory Conversion during any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days.  All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount of this Note required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date.  The mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 3(c) shall apply to any Mandatory Conversion as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a Conversion Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion. 

(2)

Pro Rata Conversion Requirement.  If the Company elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of this Note pursuant to Section 3(c)(v), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the Other Notes.  If the Company elects a Mandatory Conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(c)(v) (or similar provisions under the Other Notes) with respect to less than all of the Conversion Amounts of the Notes then outstanding, then the Company shall require conversion of a Conversion Amount from each of the holders of the Notes equal to the product of (I) the aggregate Conversion Amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be converted pursuant to Section 3(c)(v), multiplied by (II) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes purchased by such holder of outstanding Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes purchased by all holders holding outstanding Notes (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Conversion Allocation Percentage," and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Pro Rata Conversion Amount"); provided, however, that in the event that any holder's Pro Rata Conversion Amount exceeds the outstanding Principal amount of such holder's Note, then such excess Pro Rata Conversion Amount shall be allocated amongst the remaining holders of Notes in accordance with the foregoing formula.  In the event that the initial holder of any Notes shall sell or otherwise 






			
	10573480.5

	- 7 -

	 











transfer any of such holder's Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder's Conversion Allocation Percentage and the Pro Rata Conversion Amount.

(c)

Limitations on Conversions.  

(i)

Beneficial Ownership.  The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").  For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Notes. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(ii)

Principal Market Regulation.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Notes and Warrants 






			
	10573480.5

	- 8 -

	 











without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of any applicable Eligible Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of such Eligible Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of the Notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (each, a "Purchaser" and collectively the "Purchasers") shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise or otherwise, as applicable, of Notes or Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Notes issued to any Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to all of the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the "Exchange Cap Allocation").  In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee.  In the event that any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder's Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder. 

2.

(a)

Event of Default.  Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default":

(i)

judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;

the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;

(xi)

any breach or failure in any respect to comply with Section 14 of this Note; 

(xii)

the Company or any Subsidiary shall fail to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained in any Security Agreement to which it is a party or any Pledge Agreement to which it is a party;

(xiii)

any material provision of any Security Document (as determined by the Collateral Agent) shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary intended to be a party thereto, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any Subsidiary or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or the Company or any Subsidiary shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Security Document; 

(xiv)

any Security Agreement, any Pledge Agreement or any other security document, after delivery thereof pursuant hereto, shall for any reason fail or cease to create a valid and perfected and, except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Notes on any Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents) purported to be covered thereby;

(xv)

any bank at which any deposit account, blocked account, or lockbox account of the Company or any Subsidiary is maintained shall fail to comply with any material term of any deposit account, blocked account, lockbox account or similar agreement to which such bank is a party or any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other financial institution at any time in custody, control or possession of any investment property of the Company or any Subsidiary shall fail to comply with any of the terms of any investment property control agreement to which such Person is a party (it being understood that only accounts pursuant to which the Collateral Agent has requested account control agreements should be subject to this clause (xv));

(xvi)

any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any Collateral, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); or

(xvii)

any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.

(b)

Redemption Right.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and provided such Event of Default continues for at least three (3) Business Days, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (an "Event of Default Notice") to the Holder.  At any time after the earlier of the Holder's receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the "Event of Default Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem.  Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate with respect to such Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice and (B) the product of (1) the Equity Value Redemption Premium and (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date the Holder delivers the Event of Default Redemption Notice (the "Event of Default Redemption Price").  Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.  To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.  The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.  Accordingly, any Redemption Premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

3.

RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a)

Assumption.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction that is not a Change of Control unless (i)  the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction that is not a Change of Control, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, 






			
	10573480.5

	- 12 -

	 











and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company's Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions that are not a Change of Control and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

(b)

Redemption Right.  No sooner than fifteen (15) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a "Change of Control Notice").  In the case of any Change of Control, upon the receipt of a Change of Control Notice, the Holder shall, at its option, either (i) convert this Note, in whole or in part, at the then applicable Conversion Price into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Note, or (ii) require the Company or its successor to redeem this Note, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice thereof ("Change of Control Redemption Notice") at a redemption price in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 135% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (x) the Equity Value Redemption Premium and (y) the product of (1) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (2) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of the shares of Common Stock upon consummation of the Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration consisting of marketable securities to be valued at the higher of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and the Closing Sale Price of such securities immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) by (B) the Conversion Price (the "Change of Control Redemption Price").  Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control.  To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.  The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the 






			
	10573480.5

	- 13 -

	 











availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.  Accordingly, any Change of Control redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

4.

RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a)

Purchase Rights.  If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(b)

Other Corporate Events.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder's option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

5.

RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a)

Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the "New 






			
	10573480.5

	- 14 -

	 











Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i)

Issuance of Options.  If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(ii)

Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii)

Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time 






			
	10573480.5

	- 15 -

	 











had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.  No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.  

(iv)

Calculation of Consideration Received.  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v)

Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(b)

Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in 






			
	10573480.5

	- 16 -

	 











effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(c)

Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Note reduce the then current  Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d)

Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features, except for Excluded Securities and similar transactions or securities), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

6.

SECURITY.  This Note and the Other Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Security Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

7.

NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. 

8.

RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a)

Reservation.  The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of the Notes equal to 130% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Note as of the Issuance Date.  So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, 130% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "Required Reserve Amount").  The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the principal amount of the Notes held by each holder at the Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized Share Allocation").  In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such 






			
	10573480.5

	- 17 -

	 











holder's Authorized Share Allocation.  Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

(b)

Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

9.

COMPANY REDEMPTION RIGHT.

(a)

Company's Right of Optional Redemption.  At any time following the eighteen (18) months after the Issuance Date, provided there is not an Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Conversion Amount of this Note (a "Company Optional Redemption").  The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 135% of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate with respect to such Conversion Amount in effect on the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined below)  and (B) the product of (1) the Equity Value Redemption Premium and (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) (the "Company Optional Redemption Price").  The Company may exercise its redemption right under this Section 11 by delivering a written notice thereof by confirmed facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Notes (the "Company Optional Redemption Notice" and the date such notice is received by all the holders is referred to as the "Company Optional Redemption Notice Date").  A Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.  Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall state the aggregate Principal of the Notes which the Company has elected to be subject to such Company Optional Redemption from all of the holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 11 (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) on the Company Optional Redemption Date.  Upon receipt of a Company Optional Redemption Notice, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Notice of Company Optional Redemption Date") stating the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the "Company Optional Redemption Date") which date shall be (x) not be less than three (3) Trading Days after the delivery of the Notice of Company Optional Redemption Date nor (y) more than ninety (90) 






			
	10573480.5

	- 18 -

	 











Trading Days after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date.  Any redemptions made pursuant to this Section 11 shall be made in accordance with Section 12.  No later than one (1) Trading Day following any Company Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of such Company Optional Redemption.  To the extent redemptions required by this Section 11 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.  The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 11, the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.  Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 11 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(b)

Pro Rata Redemption Requirement.  If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 11(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to the Other Notes.  If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to this Section 11(a) (or similar provisions under the Other Notes) with respect to less than all of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, then the Company shall require redemption of a Principal amount from the Holder and each holder of the Other Notes equal to the product of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11(a), multiplied by (B) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the initial principal amount of Notes purchased by such holder and the denominator of which is the initial principal amounts of Notes purchased by all holders holding outstanding Notes (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Redemption Allocation Percentage", and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Pro Rata Redemption Amount"); provided that in the event that the initial holder of any Notes has sold or otherwise transferred any of such holder's Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder's Redemption Allocation Percentage and Pro Rata Redemption Amount.

10.

REDEMPTIONS.

(a)

Mechanics.  The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Event of Default Redemption Notice.  If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise.  The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date.  In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed.  In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall 






			
	10573480.5

	- 19 -

	 











have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid.  Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return or reinstate this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount and (z) the Conversion Price of this Note or such new Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided.  The Holder's delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

(b)

Redemption by Other Holders.  Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b) (each, an "Other Redemption Notice"), the Company shall immediately, but no later than three (3) Business Days of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice.  If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven Business Day period.

11.

VOTING RIGHTS.  The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law, including, but not limited to, the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and as expressly provided in this Note.

12.

COVENANTS.  So long as this Note is outstanding:

(a)

Rank.

All payments due under this Note (A) shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes and (B) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b)

Incurrence of Indebtedness.  The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Other Notes and (ii) other Permitted Indebtedness.






			
	10573480.5

	- 20 -

	 











(c)

Existence of Liens.  The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, "Liens") other than Permitted Liens.
