         (ii) Adjustments  for  Certain  Dividends  and  Distributions.  If  the
Company shall at any time or from time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or
set a record date for the  determination  of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive a dividend  or other  distribution  payable  in shares of Common  Stock,
then, and in each event,  the Conversion  Price in effect  immediately  prior to
such event shall be decreased  as of the time of such  issuance or, in the event
such a record  date shall have been  fixed,  as of the close of business on such
record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction;

                  (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares
of Common Stock  issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

                  (B) the  denominator  of which  shall be the  total  number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding  immediately  prior to the time of

shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or
set a record date for the  determination  of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive a dividend or other distribution  payable in other than shares of Common
Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate  revision to the Conversion Price
shall be made and  provision  shall be made (by  adjustments  of the  Conversion
Price  or  otherwise)  so that  the  holder  of this  Note  shall  receive  upon
conversions  thereof,  in  addition  to the  number of  shares  of Common  Stock
receivable  thereon,  the number of  securities  of the Company which they would
have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such
event and had  thereafter,  during the period from the date of such event to and
including the  Conversion  Date,  retained such  securities  (together  with any
distributions  payable  thereon during such period),  giving  application to all
adjustments  called for during such period  under this  Section  4(d)(iii)  with
respect to the rights of the holders of the Note.

         (iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the
Common Stock  issuable upon  conversion of this Note at any time or from time to
time  after the  Issuance  Date shall be  changed  into the same or a  different
number of shares of any class or classes of stock,  whether by reclassification,
exchange,  substitution  or  otherwise  (other  than by way of a stock  split or
combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 4(c)(i),  (ii)
and  (iii),  or a  reorganization,  merger,  consolidation,  or sale  of  assets
provided  for in Section  4(c)(v)),  then,  and in each  event,  an  appropriate
revision to the Conversion  Price shall by made and provisions shall be made (by
adjustments  of the  Conversion  Price of  otherwise) so that the holder of this
Note shall  have the right  thereafter  to  convert  such Note into the kind and
amount  of  shares  of  stock  and  other   securities   receivable   upon  such
reclassification,  exchange,  substitution  or other  change,  by holders of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been  converted
immediately  prior to such  reclassification,  exchange,  substitution  or other
change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

         (v) Adjustments for  Reorganization, Merger,  Consolidation or Sales of
Assets.  If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall
be a capital reorganization of the Company

                                        3

(other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock  dividends
or  distributions  provided  for  in  Section  4(c)(i),  (ii)  and  (iii),  or a
reclassification,  exchange or  substitution  of shares  provided for in Section
4(c)(iv)),  or a merger or  consolidation  of the Company  with or into  another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties
or assets to any other person,  then as a part of such  reorganization,  merger,
consolidation, or sale, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be
made and provision  shall be made (by  adjustments  of the  Conversion  Price or
otherwise)  so that the holder of this Note shall have the right  thereafter  to
convert  this  Note  into the kind and  amount  of  shares  of stock  and  other
securities  or property of the Company or any  successor  corporation  resulting
from such reorganization,  merger, consolidation,  or sale, to which a holder of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such shares would have been entitled
upon such  reorganization,  merger,  consolidation,  or sale.  In any such case,
appropriate  adjustment  shall be made in the  application  of the provisions of
this  Section  4(c)(v)  with  respect to the rights of the  holders of this Note
after the  reorganization,  merger,  consolidation,  or sale to the end that the
provisions of this Section  4(c)(v)  (including any adjustment in the Conversion
Price  then in effect  and the  number  of  shares of stock or other  securities
deliverable  upon  conversion of this Note) shall be applied after that event in
as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.

(d) No  Impediment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its  Certificate  of
Incorporation or through any reorganization,  transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, 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 to be
observed or performed  hereunder  by the Company,  but will at all times in good
faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in
the taking of all such action as may be  necessary  or  appropriate  in order to
protect  the  conversion  rights  of the  holders  of the Note set forth in this
Section 4 against impairment.

(e)  Certificate  as to  Adjustments.  Upon  occurrence  of each  adjustment  or
readjustment  of the  Conversion  Price or number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
issuable upon  conversion of the Note pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at
its  expense,   shall  promptly  compute  such  adjustment  or  readjustment  in
accordance  with the terms hereof and furnish notice to the holder of this Note,
a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment,  showing in detail
the facts upon which such  adjustment  or  readjustment  is based.  The  Company
shall, upon written request of the holder of this Note, at any time,  furnish or
cause to be  furnished  to such  holder a like  certificate  setting  forth such
adjustments and readjustments,  the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the
time and the number of shares of Common  Stock and the amount,  if any, of other
securities or property  which at the time would be received upon the  conversion
of such Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated
to deliver a certificate  unless such  certificate  would reflect an increase or
decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

(f) Issue  Taxes.  The  Company  shall  pay any and all  issue and other  taxes,
excluding  federal,  state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect
of any issue or delivery of shares of Common  Stock on  conversion  of this Note

against receipt of the original Note delivered for partial  cancellation,  a new
Note representing the unconverted portion of this Note so surrendered and Common
Stock equal to the portion converted.

approval of any government  authority,  stock exchange or other  regulatory body
under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may
be validly issued or delivered upon  conversion,  the Company shall, at its sole
cost and expense,  in good faith and as expeditiously  as possible,  endeavor to

voluntary or  involuntary or in bankruptcy,  insolvency,  receivership  or other
proceedings,  all amounts  payable under Senior Debt shall first be paid in full
in cash, or payment provided for in cash or cash equivalents,  before the holder
hereof  shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of  principal  of or
interest  on this Note.  Before  any  payment  may be made by the  Institutional
Borrower of the principal of or interest on this Note upon any such  dissolution
or winding up or liquidation or  reorganization,  any payment or distribution of
assets or  securities  of the  Institutional  Borrower of any kind of character,
whether in cash,  property or  securities,  to which the holder  hereof would be
entitled,  except  for the  provisions  of this  Section 9, shall be made by the
Institutional  Borrower or by any receiver,  trustee in bankruptcy,  liquidating
trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,  directly to
the holders of Senior Debt or their  representatives  to the extent necessary to
pay all such Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any  concurrent  payment
or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.

(c) Upon the happening of any default in payment of the principal of or interest
on any Senior Debt, then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or
waived or shall have  ceased to exist,  no direct or  indirect  payment in cash,
property or securities,  by set-off or otherwise,  shall be made or agreed to be
made by the Institutional Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on
this Note.

(d) Upon the  happening of an event of default  (other than under  circumstances
when the terms of Section 9(c) above are applicable)  with respect to any Senior
Debt  pursuant to which the holder  thereof is entitled  under the terms of such
Senior Debt to accelerate the maturity thereof,  and upon written notice thereof
given to each of the Institutional  Borrower and the holder of this Note by such
holder of Senior Debt ("Payment  Notice"),  then, unless and until such event of
default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no action
shall or may be taken for  collection  of any  amounts  under this Note,  and no
direct or  indirect  payment  in cash,  property  or  securities,  by set-off or
otherwise,  shall be made or agreed to be made by the Institutional  Borrower an
account of the  principal of or interest on this Note until such Senior Debt has
been paid in full accordance with its terms.

(e) In the event that,  notwithstanding  the  provisions  of this Section 9, any
payment shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on this Note in
contravention  of such  provisions,  then  such  payment  shall  be held for the
benefit of, and shall be paid over and  delivered to, the holders of such Senior
Debt  remaining  unpaid to the extent  necessary  to pay in full in cash or cash
equivalents the principal of and interest on such Senior Debt in accordance with
its terms after giving effect to any concurrent  payment or  distribution to the
holders of such Senior Debt.

subrogated  to the rights of the holder or holders of Senior Debt to receive all
payments or  distributions  applicable  on such Senior Debt to the extent of the

fact for such purpose.

(j) The  foregoing  subordination  provisions  shall be for the  benefit  of all
holders of Senior Debt from time to time  outstanding,  and each of such holders
may proceed to enforce such provisions either directly against the holder hereof
or in any other manner provided by law.
