6.      Conversion.




(a)  Optional Conversion. At the

shares of Common Stock that this Note may be converted into shall be determined
by dividing the principal amount then outstanding by the Conversion Price at the
time of conversion.  If the Investor elects to convert this Note at
maturity, it shall provide the Company with written notice of its election at
least one (1) day prior to the Maturity Date. Upon conversion, the Investor
shall deliver to the Company the original of this Note (or a notice to the
effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an
agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to
indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this
Note). However, upon such conversion of this Note, this Note shall be deemed
converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not the Note is
delivered for cancellation as set forth in the preceding sentence. If there
shall occur a Change of Control, the Company shall give written notice to the
Investor at least five (5) days prior to any closing thereof and the Investor’s
election to convert this Note shall be conditional upon the consummation
thereof.




(b)  Mechanics of Optional
Conversion.  As soon as practicable following surrender by the
Investor of the original of this Note, the Company shall issue and deliver to
Investor a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock into which
the Note has been converted (bearing such legends as may be required or
advisable in the opinion of counsel to the Company).  Such conversion
shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
the Maturity Date, and the Investor shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such Common Stock on such date.


-5-




(c)  Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect
of Conversion.No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of
this Note.  In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to
Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by the
fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous
sentence.  Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of any
amounts specified in this Section 6(c), the Company
shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this
Note.




7.      Successors and
Assigns.  Subject to the
restrictions on transfer described in Sections 9 and 10below, the rights and
obligations of the Company and Investor shall be binding upon and benefit the
successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the
parties.




8.      Waiver and
Amendment.  Any provision of
this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the
Company and the holders of a Requisite Percentage.




9.      Transfer of this
Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof.  With respect to
any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or securities into which such
Note may be converted, Investor will give written notice to the Company prior
thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with (unless waived by
the Company) a written opinion of Investor’s counsel, or other evidence if
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or
other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under
any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and
reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the
Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Investor that Investor may
sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.  If a
determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9 that the
opinion of counsel for Investor, or other evidence, is not reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify Investor promptly after
such determination has been made.  Each Note thus transferred and each
certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as
to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance
with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such
legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities
Act.  The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent in connection with such restrictions.  Subject to the foregoing,
transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration books maintained
for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company.  Prior to
presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat
the registered holder hereof as the owner and  holder of this Note for
the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be overdue and the
Company shall not be affected by notice to the
contrary.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary,
no opinion of counsel shall be required with respect to any transfer by an
Investor to its officers, directors, partners, members or other
affiliates.




10.
 Assignment by the
Company.  Neither this Note
nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by
operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the
prior written consent of the holders of a Requisite Percentage.


-6-




11.  Notices.  All notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered to each
party at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth in the Note
Purchase Agreement, or at such other address or facsimile number as the Company
shall have furnished to Investor in writing.  All such notices and
communications will be deemed effectively given the earlier of (i) when
received, (ii) when delivered personally, (iii) one business day after
being delivered by facsimile (with receipt of appropriate confirmation),
(iv) one business day after being deposited with an overnight courier
service of recognized standing or (v) two days after being deposited in the
U.S. mail, first class with postage prepaid.




12.  Pari Passu
Notes.  Investor
acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the
outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passuin right of
payment and in all other respects to the other Notes issued pursuant to the Note
Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such Notes.  In the
event Investor receives payments in excess of its pro rata share of the
Company’s payments to the Investors of all of the Notes, then Investor shall
hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the holders of the
other Notes and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon
demand by such holders.




13.  Usury. In the event any interest is
paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum
rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess
of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and
applied against the principal of this Note.




14.  Waivers. The Company hereby waives
notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of
nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this
instrument.




15.  Remedies
Cumulative. The remedies of Investor as provided herein and in the Note
Purchase Agreement and in any other documents governing or securing repayment
hereof shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly,
successively, or together, at the sole discretion of Investor to the extent
provided herein and in the Note Purchase Agreement and may be exercised as often
as occasion therefore shall arise.  No act or omission of the
Investor, including specifically, but without limitation, any failure to
exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be effective as a waiver of any
right of the Investor hereunder, unless set forth in a written document executed
by the Investor, and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A
waiver or release with reference to one event shall not be construed as
continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right,
remedy or recourse as to any subsequent event.  All notices, waivers,
releases and/or consents by an Investor shall be directed to the Company only
through the Agent.




16.  No Rights of a
Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as
conferring upon the Investor or any other Person the right to vote or consent or
to receive notice as an stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for
the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights
whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company prior to the time that this Note is
converted pursuant to Section
6.


-7-




17.  Governing
Law.  This Note and all
actions arising out of or in connection with this Note shall be governed by and

state.
