time to time designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, the
principal sum of $1,285.71, due and payable on June 25, 2009. The Original Note
was issued pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”
a copy of which has been attached hereto as Exhibit
A), and is subject to other terms as set forth in the Settlement
Agreement.  This New Convertible Note is issued pursuant to a Transfer
and Acknowledgement Agreement with the Noteholder of even date

on the issuance date of this Note (the “Issuance Date”), the
outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a
rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%). Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months and shall accrue commencing

      2.           PREPAYMENT.  This
Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, by the Company only upon the prior
written consent of the Noteholder.

applicable federal and state securities laws.

      


      4.           CONVERSION

the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is

Note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock of the
Company (the “Common

agent (the “Escrow

copy of which has been attached hereto as Exhibit

elects to convert any unpaid balance of the Note pursuant to the terms contained
herein. Any such conversion shall be effected by, and subject to the terms of
