                        CALLABLE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

New York, New York
November 14, 2005                                                        $15,000

                  FOR VALUE  RECEIVED,  ADVANCED  BIOPHOTONICS  INC., a Delaware
corporation  (hereinafter called the "BORROWER"),  hereby promises to pay to the
order of NEW  MILLENNIUM  CAPITAL  PARTNERS II, LLC or  registered  assigns (the
"HOLDER") the sum of $15,000, on November 14, 2008 (the "MATURITY DATE"), and to
pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent
(8%) (the  "INTEREST  RATE") per annum from November 14, 2005 (the "ISSUE DATE")
until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration
or by prepayment or otherwise.  Any amount of principal or interest on this Note
which is not paid when due shall bear  interest  at the rate of fifteen  percent
(15%)  per annum  from the due date  thereof  until  the same is paid  ("DEFAULT
INTEREST").  Interest  shall  commence  accruing  on the  Issue  Date,  shall be
computed on the basis of a 365-day  year and the actual  number of days  elapsed
and  shall be  payable  quarterly  provided  that no  interest  shall be due and
payable for any month in which the Trading Price (as such term is defined below)
is greater than $.2875 for each  Trading Day (as such term is defined  below) of
the month.  All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted  into common
stock,  $.001 par value per share (the "COMMON  STOCK") in  accordance  with the
terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All
payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the
Borrower by written notice made in accordance  with the provisions of this Note.
Whenever any amount  expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any
day which is not a  business  day,  the same  shall  instead  be due on the next
succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest  payment
date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full,  the extension of
the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining
the  amount  of  interest  due on such  date.  As used in this  Note,  the  term
"business  day"  shall mean any day other  than a  Saturday,  Sunday or a day on
which  commercial  banks in the city of New  York,  New York are  authorized  or
required by law or executive order to remain closed.  Each capitalized term used
herein,  and not otherwise  defined,  shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 14, 2005, pursuant to
which this Note was originally issued (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT").


<PAGE>

         This Note is free from all taxes,  liens,  claims and encumbrances with
respect to the issue  thereof and shall not be subject to  preemptive  rights or
other  similar  rights  of  shareholders  of the  Borrower  and will not  impose
personal  liability  upon the holder  thereof.  The  obligations of the Borrower
under  this  Note  shall be  secured  by that  certain  Security  Agreement  and
Intellectual  Property Security  Agreement,  each dated November 14, 2005 by and
between the Borrower and the Holder.

         The following terms shall apply to this Note:

                          ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

     1.1  CONVERSION  RIGHT.  The Holder shall have the right from time to time,
and at any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the
date of payment of the Default  Amount (as defined in Article  III)  pursuant to
Section  1.6(a) or Article III, the  Optional  Prepayment  Amount (as defined in
Section  5.1 or any  payments  pursuant to Section  1.7,  each in respect of the
remaining  outstanding  principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part
of the outstanding and unpaid  principal amount of this Note into fully paid and
non-assessable  shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue
Date,  or any shares of capital  stock or other  securities of the Borrower into
which such  Common  Stock  shall  hereafter  be changed or  reclassified  at the
conversion  price (the  "CONVERSION  PRICE")  determined  as provided  herein (a
"CONVERSION");  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled
to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that  portion of this Note upon
conversion  of  which  the sum of (1) the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common
Stock  which may be deemed  beneficially  owned  through  the  ownership  of the
unconverted  portion of the Notes or the  unexercised or unconverted  portion of
any other security of the Borrower (including,  without limitation, the warrants
issued  by  the  Borrower  pursuant  to the  Purchase  Agreement)  subject  to a
limitation  on  conversion or exercise  analogous to the  limitations  contained
herein)  and (2) the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  the
conversion  of the portion of this Note with respect to which the  determination
of this  proviso is being made,  would  result in  beneficial  ownership  by the
Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock and PROVIDED  FURTHER that the Holder shall not be entitled to convert any
portion of this Note during any month  immediately  succeeding  a  Determination
Date on which the Borrower  exercises its prepayment  option pursuant to Section
5.2 of this Note.  For  purposes  of the  proviso to the  immediately  preceding
sentence,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  and Regulations 13D-G
thereunder,  except as  otherwise  provided in clause (1) of such  proviso.  The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each  conversion of this Note
shall be determined by dividing the Conversion  Amount (as defined below) by the
applicable  Conversion  Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice
of  conversion,  in the form  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  A (the  "NOTICE  OF
CONVERSION"), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section
1.4 below;  provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or
by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the
Borrower  before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the
"CONVERSION  DATE").  The term  "CONVERSION  AMOUNT" means,  with respect to any
conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal  amount of this Note to be
converted in such  conversion PLUS (2) accrued and unpaid  interest,  if any, on
such  principal  amount  at the  interest  rates  provided  in this  Note to the
Conversion Date, provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to pay
any or all  interest in cash PLUS (3) Default  Interest,  if any, on the amounts
referred to in the immediately  preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) PLUS (4) at the
Holder's  option,  any amounts  owed to the Holder  pursuant to Sections 1.3 and
1.4(g)  hereof or pursuant to Section 2(c) of that certain  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  dated as of  November  14,  2005,  executed in  connection  with the
initial  issuance of this Note and the other Notes issued on the Issue Date (the
"REGISTRATION  RIGHTS AGREEMENT").  The term "DETERMINATION DATE" means the last
business day of each month after the Issue Date.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     1.2 CONVERSION PRICE.

               (A) CALCULATION OF CONVERSION  PRICE.  The Conversion Price shall
be the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject,  in each case, to
equitable  adjustments for stock splits,  stock dividends or rights offerings by
the Borrower  relating to the  Borrower's  securities  or the  securities of any
subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations,  recapitalization,  reclassifications,
extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "VARIABLE CONVERSION PRICE"
shall mean the  Applicable  Percentage  (as defined  herein)  multiplied  by the
Market Price (as defined herein). "MARKET PRICE" means the average of the lowest
three (3) Trading  Prices (as  defined  below) for the Common  Stock  during the
twenty  (20)  Trading  Day period  ending one  Trading Day prior to the date the
Conversion  Notice is sent by the  Holder to the  Borrower  via  facsimile  (the
"CONVERSION DATE").  "TRADING Price" means, for any security as of any date, the
intraday trading price on the  Over-the-Counter  Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") as
reported  by  a  reliable  reporting  service  ("REPORTING   SERVICE")  mutually
acceptable  to  Borrower  and Holder and  hereafter  designated  by Holders of a
majority in interest of the Notes and the  Borrower  or, if the OTCBB is not the
principal  trading market for such security,  the intraday trading price of such
security  on the  principal  securities  exchange or trading  market  where such
security is listed or traded or, if no intraday  trading  price of such security
is  available  in any of the  foregoing  manners,  the  average of the  intraday
trading  prices of any market  makers for such  security  that are listed in the
"pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot
be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided  above,  the
Trading  Price shall be the fair  market  value as  mutually  determined  by the
Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being  converted
for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine
the  Conversion  Price of such Notes.  "TRADING DAY" shall mean any day on which
the Common  Stock is traded for any  period on the  OTCBB,  or on the  principal
securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then
being traded. "APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE" shall mean 60.0%.

               (B) CONVERSION PRICE DURING MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary,  in the event the Borrower
(i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any
other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or
continuing  corporation  and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer
all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group
or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase
50% or more of the Borrower's  Common Stock (or any other takeover  scheme) (the
date of the  announcement  referred  to in  clause  (i) or  (ii) is  hereinafter
referred  to as the  "ANNOUNCEMENT  DATE"),  then the  Conversion  Price  shall,
effective  upon  the  Announcement  Date and  continuing  through  the  Adjusted
Conversion Price  Termination Date (as defined below),  be equal to the lower of
(x) the  Conversion  Price which  would have been  applicable  for a  Conversion
occurring  on the  Announcement  Date and (y) the  Conversion  Price  that would
otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination
Date,  the  Conversion  Price shall be  determined  as set forth in this Section
1.2(a). For purposes hereof,  "ADJUSTED CONVERSION PRICE TERMINATION DATE" shall
mean,  with  respect to any  proposed  transaction  or tender offer (or takeover
scheme) for which a public  announcement  as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b)
has been  made,  the date upon  which the  Borrower  (in the case of clause  (i)
above)  or the  person,  group or  entity  (in the case of  clause  (ii)  above)
consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed
transaction  or tender  offer (or  takeover  scheme)  which  caused this Section
1.2(b) to become operative.

                                       3

     1.3 AUTHORIZED  SHARES.  Subject to  Stockholder  Approval (as such term is
defined in Section  4(n) of the  Securities  Purchase  Agreement),  the Borrower
covenants that during the period the conversion right exists,  the Borrower will
reserve from its  authorized  and unissued  Common Stock a sufficient  number of
shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock
upon the full conversion of this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and
reserved  two times the number of shares  that is  actually  issuable  upon full
conversion  of the  Notes  (based  on the  Conversion  Price of the Notes or the
Exercise  Price of the  Warrants  in effect  from time to time)  (the  "RESERVED
AMOUNT"). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance
with  the  Borrower's  obligations  pursuant  to  Section  4(h) of the  Purchase
Agreement.  The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower
shall issue any  securities  or make any change to its capital  structure  which
would  change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be
convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same
time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved,  free from preemptive rights,
for conversion of the outstanding  Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges  that it
has  irrevocably  instructed  its transfer agent to issue  certificates  for the
Common Stock  issuable upon  conversion  of this Note,  and (ii) agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents
who are charged with the duty of  executing  stock  certificates  to execute and
issue the necessary  certificates  for shares of Common Stock in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Note.

     If, at any time a Holder of this Note submits a Notice of  Conversion,  and
the Borrower does not have  sufficient  authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock  available to effect such  conversion in accordance with the provisions of
this Article I (a  "CONVERSION  DEFAULT"),  subject to Section 4.8, the Borrower
shall  issue to the  Holder  all of the  shares of Common  Stock  which are then
available to effect such  conversion.  The portion of this Note which the Holder
included in its  Conversion  Notice and which  exceeds the amount  which is then
convertible  into available  shares of Common Stock (the "EXCESS AMOUNT") shall,
notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein,  not be convertible
into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof until (and at the Holder's
option  at any time  after)  the date  additional  shares  of  Common  Stock are
authorized  by the  Borrower  to  permit  such  conversion,  at  which  time the
Conversion  Price in respect  thereof shall be the lesser of (i) the  Conversion
Price on the Conversion  Default Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Conversion
Price on the  Conversion  Date  thereafter  elected  by the  Holder  in  respect
thereof. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder payments ("CONVERSION
DEFAULT  PAYMENTS") for a Conversion Default in the amount of (x) the SUM OF (1)
the then  outstanding  principal amount of this Note PLUS (2) accrued and unpaid
interest on the unpaid principal  amount of this Note through the  Authorization
Date (as  defined  below)  PLUS (3)  Default  Interest,  if any,  on the amounts
referred to in clauses (1) and/or (2),  MULTIPLIED BY (y) .24, MULTIPLIED BY (z)
(N/365),  where N = the number of days from the day the holder  submits a Notice
of  Conversion  giving rise to a  Conversion  Default (the  "CONVERSION  DEFAULT
DATE") to the date (the  "AUTHORIZATION  DATE") that the  Borrower  authorizes a
sufficient  number of shares of Common  Stock to effect  conversion  of the full
outstanding  principal  balance of this Note.  The  Borrower  shall use its best
efforts to  authorize a  sufficient  number of shares of Common Stock as soon as
practicable  following the earlier of (i) such time that the Holder notifies the
Borrower or that the Borrower  otherwise  becomes aware that there are or likely
will be  insufficient  authorized and unissued  shares to allow full  conversion
thereof and (ii) a Conversion  Default.  The  Borrower  shall send notice to the
Holder  of  the   authorization  of  additional  shares  of  Common  Stock,  the
Authorization  Date  and the  amount  of  Holder's  accrued  Conversion  Default
Payments.  The accrued Conversion Default Payments for each calendar month shall
be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common Stock (at such time as there
are sufficient  authorized shares of Common Stock) at the applicable  Conversion
Price, at the Borrower's option, as follows:

                                       4
<PAGE>

               (A) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash
payment  shall be made to Holder by the fifth  (5th) day of the month  following
the month in which it has accrued; and

               (B) In the event  Holder  elects to take such  payment  in Common
Stock,  the Holder may convert  such  payment  amount  into Common  Stock at the
Conversion  Price (as in effect at the time of conversion) at any time after the
fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued in accordance
with the terms of this Article I (so long as there is then a  sufficient  number
of authorized shares of Common Stock).

     The Holder's  election shall be made in writing to the Borrower at any time
prior to 6:00  p.m.,  New  York,  New York  time,  on the third day of the month
following the month in which  Conversion  Default  payments have accrued.  If no
election is made,  the Holder shall be deemed to have  elected to receive  cash.
Nothing  herein shall limit the Holder's  right to pursue actual damages (to the
extent in excess of the Conversion  Default Payments) for the Borrower's failure
to maintain a sufficient  number of authorized  shares of Common Stock, and each
holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity
(including degree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).

     1.4 METHOD OF CONVERSION.

               (A)  MECHANICS OF  CONVERSION.  Subject to Section 1.1, this Note
may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time
after the Issue Date,  by (A)  submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion
(by  facsimile or other  reasonable  means of  communication  dispatched  on the
Conversion  Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to
Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

               (B) SURRENDER OF NOTE UPON CONVERSION.  Notwithstanding  anything
to the contrary set forth  herein,  upon  conversion  of this Note in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically  surrender
this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
is so converted.  The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the
principal  amount so converted  and the dates of such  conversions  or shall use
such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as
not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the
event of any  dispute or  discrepancy,  such  records of the  Borrower  shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder
may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first  physically  surrenders  this
Note to the Borrower,  whereupon the Borrower will  forthwith  issue and deliver
upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor,  registered as the Holder
(upon  payment  by the Holder of any  applicable  transfer  taxes) may  request,
representing  in the  aggregate the remaining  unpaid  principal  amount of this
Note. The Holder and any assignee,  by acceptance of this Note,  acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,  following conversion
of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted  principal  amount of this
Note  represented  by this Note may be less than the  amount  stated on the face
hereof.


                                       5
<PAGE>

               (C) PAYMENT OF TAXES.  The Borrower  shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any  transfer  involved  in the issue
and  delivery  of shares of Common  Stock or other  securities  or  property  on
conversion  of this Note in a name  other  than that of the Holder (or in street
name),  and the  Borrower  shall not be  required  to issue or deliver  any such
shares or other  securities  or property  unless and until the person or persons
(other than the Holder or the  custodian in whose street name such shares are to
be held for the Holder's  account)  requesting  the issuance  thereof shall have
paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

               (D) DELIVERY OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION. Upon receipt by the
Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile  transmission (or other reasonable means
of  communication)  of a Notice  of  Conversion  meeting  the  requirements  for
conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver
or  cause  to be  issued  and  delivered  to or upon  the  order  of the  Holder
certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3)
business days after such receipt  (and,  solely in the case of conversion of the
entire  unpaid  principal  amount  hereof,  surrender  of this Note) (such third
business day being hereinafter referred to as the "DEADLINE") in accordance with
the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement (including,  without limitation,  in
accordance with the requirements of Section 2(g) of the Purchase  Agreement that
certificates for shares of Common Stock issued on or after the effective date of
the  Registration  Statement  upon  conversion  of this Note  shall not bear any
restrictive legend).

               (E) OBLIGATION OF BORROWER TO DELIVER COMMON STOCK.  Upon receipt
by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion,  the Holder shall be deemed to be the
holder  of  record of the  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  such  conversion,  the
outstanding  principal  amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid  interest on
this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion,  and, unless the Borrower
defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the
portion of this Note being so converted  shall  forthwith  terminate  except the
right to receive the Common Stock or other securities,  cash or other assets, as
herein provided, on such conversion.  If the Holder shall have given a Notice of
Conversion as provided  herein,  the Borrower's  obligation to issue and deliver
the  certificates  for  Common  Stock  shall  be  absolute  and   unconditional,
irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with  respect to any  provision  thereof,  the recovery of any
judgment  against any person or any action to enforce  the same,  any failure or
delay in the  enforcement of any other  obligation of the Borrower to the holder
of record, or any setoff, counterclaim,  recoupment,  limitation or termination,
or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower,
and  irrespective  of any other  circumstance  which might  otherwise limit such
obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The
Conversion  Date  specified in the Notice of Conversion  shall be the Conversion
Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00
p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.


                                       6
<PAGE>

               (F) DELIVERY OF COMMON STOCK BY ELECTRONIC  TRANSFER.  In lieu of
delivering  physical  certificates  representing  the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion,  provided the  Borrower's  transfer  agent is  participating  in the
Depository  Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated  Securities  Transfer  ("FAST")
program,  upon  request  of the Holder and its  compliance  with the  provisions
contained in Section 1.1 and in this  Section  1.4,  the Borrower  shall use its
best efforts to cause its transfer agent to  electronically  transmit the Common
Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  to the  Holder by  crediting  the  account of
Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit  Withdrawal  Agent Commission
("DWAC") system.

               (G) FAILURE TO DELIVER COMMON STOCK PRIOR TO DEADLINE. Without in
any way limiting the Holder's right to pursue other remedies,  including  actual
damages  and/or  equitable  relief,  the  parties  agree that if delivery of the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is more than two (2) business
days after the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described
in Section 1.3 above,  which  failure  shall be governed  by such  Section)  the
Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the
Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock.  Such cash amount
shall be paid to Holder by the  fifth  day of the month  following  the month in
which it has accrued  or, at the option of the Holder (by written  notice to the
Borrower  by the  first  day of the  month  following  the month in which it has
accrued),  shall be added to the  principal  amount of this Note, in which event
interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such
additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance
with the terms of this Note.

     1.5  CONCERNING  THE  SHARES.  The  shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon
conversion  of this Note may not be sold or  transferred  unless (i) such shares
are sold pursuant to an effective  registration  statement under the Act or (ii)
the Borrower or its transfer  agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of
counsel  (which  opinion  shall be in form,  substance  and scope  customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to
be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred  pursuant to an exemption from
such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred  pursuant to Rule
144 under the Act (or a  successor  rule)  ("RULE  144") or (iv) such shares are
transferred  to an  "affiliate"  (as  defined in Rule 144) of the  Borrower  who
agrees to sell or  otherwise  transfer the shares only in  accordance  with this
Section  1.5 and who is an  Accredited  Investor  (as  defined  in the  Purchase
Agreement).  Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject
to the removal  provisions  set forth  below),  until such time as the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of this Note have been  registered  under
the Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities
as of a particular date that can then be immediately  sold, each certificate for
shares of Common Stock  issuable upon  conversion of this Note that has not been
so included in an  effective  registration  statement  or that has not been sold
pursuant to an effective  registration  statement  or an exemption  that permits
removal of the legend,  shall bear a legend substantially in the following form,
as appropriate:

         UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS SOLD  PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR  REGULATION S UNDER
         SAID ACT."

     The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to
the Holder a new  certificate  therefor  free of any transfer  legend if (i) the
Borrower or its  transfer  agent shall have  received an opinion of counsel,  in
form,  substance  and scope  customary  for  opinions  of counsel in  comparable
transactions,  to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock
may be made  without  registration  under the Act and the  shares are so sold or
transferred,  (ii) such Holder  provides the Borrower or its transfer agent with
reasonable  assurances  that the Common Stock  issuable upon  conversion of this
Note (to the extent such securities are deemed to have been acquired on the same
date) can be sold  pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) in the case of the Common Stock
issuable upon  conversion of this Note,  such security is registered for sale by
the Holder  under an  effective  registration  statement  filed under the Act or
otherwise  may be sold  pursuant to Rule 144 without any  restriction  as to the
number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately  sold.
Nothing  in this  Note  shall  (i) limit  the  Borrower's  obligation  under the
Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) affect in any way the Holder's obligations
to comply with applicable  prospectus  delivery  requirements upon the resale of
the securities referred to herein.

     1.6 EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS.

               (A) EFFECT OF MERGER,  CONSOLIDATION,  ETC.  At the option of the
Holder,  the sale,  conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Borrower,  the  effectuation  by the Borrower of a transaction  or
series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the
Borrower  is  disposed  of,  or the  consolidation,  merger  or  other  business
combination  of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or
Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either:  (i) be deemed to be
an Event of Default (as defined in Article  III)  pursuant to which the Borrower
shall  be  required  to pay to the  Holder  upon  the  consummation  of and as a
condition to such  transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined
in Article III) or (ii) be treated  pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.  "PERSON"
shall mean any individual,  corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
association, trust or other entity or organization.

               (B) ADJUSTMENT DUE TO MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ETC. If, at any time
when this Note is issued and  outstanding  and prior to conversion of all of the
Notes,   there  shall  be  any  merger,   consolidation,   exchange  of  shares,
recapitalization,  reorganization,  or other similar event, as a result of which
shares of  Common  Stock of the  Borrower  shall be  changed  into the same or a
different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of
the Borrower or another  entity,  or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially  all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a
plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall
thereafter  have the right to receive  upon  conversion  of this Note,  upon the
basis and upon the  terms and  conditions  specified  herein  and in lieu of the
shares of Common Stock immediately  theretofore  issuable upon conversion,  such
stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive
in such  transaction had this Note been converted in full  immediately  prior to
such  transaction  (without  regard to any  limitations  on conversion set forth
herein), and in any such case appropriate  provisions shall be made with respect
to the  rights  and  interests  of the  Holder  of this Note to the end that the
provisions hereof (including,  without limitation,  provisions for adjustment of
the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Note)  shall  thereafter  be  applicable,  as  nearly as may be  practicable  in
relation to any securities or assets thereafter  deliverable upon the conversion
hereof. The Borrower shall not effect any transaction  described in this Section
1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives,  to the extent  practicable,  thirty (30) days
prior written  notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written
notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or
if  there  is  no  such  record  date,   the   consummation   of,  such  merger,
consolidation,  exchange of shares,  recapitalization,  reorganization  or other
similar event or sale of assets  (during which time the Holder shall be entitled
to convert this Note) and (b) the  resulting  successor or acquiring  entity (if
not the Borrower) assumes by written  instrument the obligations of this Section
1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

<PAGE>

               (C) ADJUSTMENT DUE TO DISTRIBUTION. If the Borrower shall declare
or make any  distribution  of its assets (or  rights to acquire  its  assets) to
holders of Common  Stock as a dividend,  stock  repurchase,  by way of return of
capital or otherwise  (including any dividend or  distribution to the Borrower's
shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of
a subsidiary  (i.e.,  a spin-off)) (a  "DISTRIBUTION"),  then the Holder of this
Note  shall be  entitled,  upon any  conversion  of this Note  after the date of
record for determining  shareholders  entitled to such Distribution,  to receive
the  amount of such  assets  which  would have been  payable to the Holder  with
respect to the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon such  conversion  had such
Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

               (D) ADJUSTMENT DUE TO DILUTIVE ISSUANCE. If, at any time when any
Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance
with this Section  1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of
Common  Stock for no  consideration  or for a  consideration  per share  (before
deduction of reasonable  expenses or  commissions or  underwriting  discounts or
allowances  in connection  therewith)  less than the Fixed  Conversion  Price in
effect on the date of such  issuance  (or  deemed  issuance)  of such  shares of
Common  Stock (a  "DILUTIVE  ISSUANCE"),  then  immediately  upon  the  Dilutive
Issuance,  the  Variable  Conversion  Price will be reduced to the amount of the
consideration  per share  received by the  Borrower in such  Dilutive  Issuance;
PROVIDED that only one adjustment will be made for each Dilutive Issuance.

     The Borrower  shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock
if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any  warrants,  rights or options
(not  including  employee  stock  option  plans),  whether  or  not  immediately
exercisable,  to subscribe for or to purchase  Common Stock or other  securities
convertible  into or exchangeable  for Common Stock  ("CONVERTIBLE  SECURITIES")
(such  warrants,  rights and options to  purchase  Common  Stock or  Convertible
Securities are hereinafter referred to as "OPTIONS") and the price per share for
which  Common  Stock is issuable  upon the exercise of such Options is less than
the Variable Conversion Price then in effect, then the Variable Conversion Price
shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding  sentence,
the "price per share for which  Common  Stock is issuable  upon the  exercise of
such Options" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount,  if any,  received
or receivable by the Borrower as  consideration  for the issuance or granting of
all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration,
if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options,  plus, in
the case of Convertible  Securities  issuable upon the exercise of such Options,
the  minimum  aggregate  amount of  additional  consideration  payable  upon the
conversion or exchange  thereof at the time such  Convertible  Securities  first
become  convertible or exchangeable,  by (ii) the maximum total number of shares
of Common Stock  issuable upon the exercise of all such Options  (assuming  full
conversion of Convertible Securities,  if applicable).  No further adjustment to
the Conversion  Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
upon  the  exercise  of such  Options  or upon the  conversion  or  exchange  of
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

     Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of
Common  Stock if the  Borrower  in any  manner  issues or sells any  Convertible
Securities,  whether or not immediately  convertible  (other than where the same
are issuable  upon the  exercise of Options),  and the price per share for which
Common  Stock is  issuable  upon such  conversion  or  exchange is less than the
Variable  Conversion  Price then in effect,  then the Variable  Conversion Price
shall be equal to such  price  per  share.  For the  purposes  of the  preceding
sentence,  the "price per share for which  Common  Stock is  issuable  upon such
conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount,  if any,
received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale
of all  such  Convertible  Securities,  plus the  minimum  aggregate  amount  of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or
exchange  thereof  at  the  time  such   Convertible   Securities  first  become
convertible  or  exchangeable,  by (ii) the  maximum  total  number of shares of
Common Stock  issuable upon the  conversion or exchange of all such  Convertible
Securities.  No further adjustment to the Variable Conversion Price will be made
upon the actual  issuance of such Common  Stock upon  conversion  or exchange of
such Convertible Securities.

<PAGE>

               (E)  PURCHASE  RIGHTS.  If, at any time when any Notes are issued
and  outstanding,  the Borrower issues any  convertible  securities or rights to
purchase stock,  warrants,  securities or other property (the "PURCHASE Rights")
pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock,  then the Holder of
this  Note will be  entitled  to  acquire,  upon the  terms  applicable  to such
Purchase  Rights,  the  aggregate  Purchase  Rights which such Holder could have
acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon  complete  conversion of this Note (without  regard to any  limitations  on
conversion  contained herein)  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.

               (F) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment of the Conversion  Price as a result of the events  described in
this Section 1.6, the  Borrower,  at its expense,  shall  promptly  compute such
adjustment  or  readjustment  and  prepare  and  furnish  to  the  Holder  of  a
certificate  setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such  adjustment  or  readjustment  is based.  The Borrower
shall,  upon the  written  request  at any time of the  Holder,  furnish to such
Holder a like  certificate  setting forth (i) such  adjustment or  readjustment,
(ii) the  Conversion  Price at the time in effect and (iii) 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 conversion of the Note.

     1.7 TRADING MARKET  LIMITATIONS.  Unless  permitted by the applicable rules
and regulations of the principal  securities market on which the Common Stock is
then listed or traded,  in no event shall the Borrower issue upon  conversion of
or otherwise  pursuant to this Note and the other Notes  issued  pursuant to the
Purchase  Agreement  more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
the  Borrower  can issue  pursuant to any rule of the  principal  United  States
securities  market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the "MAXIMUM  SHARE
AMOUNT"),  which shall be 19.99% of the total shares  outstanding on the Closing
Date (as defined in the Purchase  Agreement),  subject to  equitable  adjustment
from time to time for  stock  splits,  stock  dividends,  combinations,  capital
reorganizations  and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after
the date  hereof.  Once the  Maximum  Share  Amount has been issued (the date of
which is  hereinafter  referred to as the  "MAXIMUM  CONVERSION  Date"),  if the
Borrower fails to eliminate any  prohibitions  under applicable law or the rules
or  regulations of any stock  exchange,  interdealer  quotation  system or other
self-regulatory  organization  with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its
securities on the  Borrower's  ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess
of the Maximum Share Amount (a "TRADING MARKET  PREPAYMENT  EVENT"),  in lieu of
any  further  right  to  convert  this  Note,  and in full  satisfaction  of the
Borrower's  obligations  under this Note,  the Borrower shall pay to the Holder,
within fifteen (15) business days of the Maximum  Conversion  Date (the "TRADING
MARKET PREPAYMENT  DATE"), an amount equal to 130% TIMES the SUM of (a) the then
outstanding  principal  amount of this Note  immediately  following  the Maximum
Conversion  Date, PLUS (b) accrued and unpaid  interest on the unpaid  principal
amount of this Note to the  Trading  Market  Prepayment  Date,  PLUS (c) Default
Interest,  if any,  on the  amounts  referred to in clause (a) and/or (b) above,
PLUS  (d)  any  optional  amounts  that  may be  added  thereto  at the  Maximum
Conversion  Date by the Holder in  accordance  with the terms  hereof  (the then
outstanding  principal  amount of this Note  immediately  following  the Maximum
Conversion  Date, PLUS the amounts referred to in clauses (b), (c) and (d) above
shall collectively be referred to as the "REMAINING  CONVERTIBLE AMOUNT").  With
respect to each Holder of Notes,  the Maximum  Share  Amount shall refer to such
Holder's PRO RATA share thereof determined in accordance with Section 4.8 below.
In the event that the sum of (x) the aggregate  number of shares of Common Stock
issued upon  conversion of this Note and the other Notes issued  pursuant to the
Purchase  Agreement PLUS (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
remain issuable upon conversion of this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, represents at least one hundred percent (100%) of the
Maximum Share Amount (the  "TRIGGERING  EVENT"),  the Borrower will use its best
efforts to seek and obtain Shareholder  Approval (or obtain such other relief as
will allow conversions  hereunder in excess of the Maximum Share Amount) as soon
as practicable  following the Triggering Event and before the Maximum Conversion
Date. As used herein,  "SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL" means approval by the shareholders
of the Borrower to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable upon full conversion of the then outstanding Notes
but for the Maximum Share Amount.

     1.8 STATUS AS  SHAREHOLDER.  Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a
Holder,  (i) the shares covered  thereby  (other than the shares,  if any, which
cannot be issued  because their  issuance  would exceed such Holder's  allocated
portion  of the  Reserved  Amount  or  Maximum  Share  Amount)  shall be  deemed
converted  into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder's  rights as a Holder
of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only
the right to receive  certificates  for such  shares of Common  Stock and to any
remedies  provided  herein or  otherwise  available  at law or in equity to such
Holder  because of a failure by the  Borrower  to comply  with the terms of this
Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if a Holder has not received certificates
for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th)  business day after the
expiration  of the Deadline  with respect to a conversion of any portion of this
Note for any  reason,  then  (unless the Holder  otherwise  elects to retain its
status as a holder of Common  Stock by so  notifying  the  Borrower)  the Holder
shall  regain  the  rights  of a  Holder  of  this  Note  with  respect  to such
unconverted   portions  of  this  Note  and  the  Borrower  shall,  as  soon  as
practicable,  return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not
been  surrendered,  adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note
has not been converted.  In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights
and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion
Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such
Conversion  Default and any subsequent  Conversion Default and (ii) the right to
have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent  conversions  determined in
accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower's failure to convert this Note.

                         ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

     2.1  DISTRIBUTIONS ON CAPITAL STOCK. So long as the Borrower shall have any
obligation  under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder's written
consent (a) pay,  declare or set apart for such  payment,  any dividend or other
distribution  (whether  in cash,  property  or other  securities)  on  shares of
capital stock other than  dividends on shares of Common Stock solely in the form
of  additional  shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or  indirectly or through
any subsidiary  make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital
stock except for distributions  pursuant to any shareholders'  rights plan which
is approved by a majority of the Borrower's disinterested directors.

     2.2  RESTRICTION ON STOCK  REPURCHASES.  So long as the Borrower shall have
any  obligation  under this Note,  the  Borrower  shall not without the Holder's
written consent redeem,  repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in
exchange for property or other  securities or otherwise) in any one  transaction
or series of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Borrower or
any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares.

     2.3  BORROWINGS.  So long as the Borrower shall have any  obligation  under

Borrower  has  informed  Holder  in  writing  prior  to  the  date  hereof,  (b)

this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder's  written consent,  sell,

ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be
conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

     2.5 ADVANCES AND LOANS.  So long as the Borrower  shall have any obligation

subsidiaries and affiliates of the Borrower,  except loans,  credits or advances

informed  Holder in writing  prior to the date hereof,  (b) made in the ordinary
course of business or (c) not in excess of $50,000.

     2.6  CONTINGENT  LIABILITIES.  So  long  as the  Borrower  shall  have  any
obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder's written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,  assume, guarantee,  endorse,
contingently agree to purchase or otherwise become liable upon the obligation of
any person,  firm,  partnership,  joint  venture or  corporation,  except by the
endorsement  of  negotiable  instruments  for deposit or  collection  and except

committed  on the date  hereof and which the  Borrower  has  informed  Holder in
writing prior to the date hereof,  and (b) similar  transactions in the ordinary
course of business.

                         ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     If any of the  following  events of default  (each,  an "EVENT OF DEFAULT")
shall occur:

     3.1 FAILURE TO PAY  PRINCIPAL  OR INTEREST.  The Borrower  fails to pay the
principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity,
upon  a  Trading  Market   Prepayment   Event  pursuant  to  Section  1.7,  upon
acceleration or otherwise;

     3.2 CONVERSION AND THE SHARES. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common
Stock to the  Holder  (or  announces  or  threatens  that it will not  honor its
obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the
Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note (for a period of at least sixty
(60) days, if such failure is solely as a result of the  circumstances  governed
by  Section  1.3 and the  Borrower  is using its best  efforts  to  authorize  a
sufficient  number of shares of Common Stock as soon as  practicable),  fails to
transfer  or  cause  its  transfer  agent  to  transfer  (electronically  or  in
certificated  form) any  certificate  for shares of Common  Stock  issued to the
Holder  upon  conversion  of or  otherwise  pursuant  to this  Note as and  when
required by this Note or the Registration  Rights Agreement,  or fails to remove
any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect
thereof) on any  certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder
upon  conversion  of or otherwise  pursuant to this Note as and when required by
this Note or the  Registration  Rights  Agreement  (or  makes any  announcement,
statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the  obligations  described
in  this  paragraph)  and  any  such  failure  shall  continue  uncured  (or any
announcement,  statement  or threat  not to honor its  obligations  shall not be
rescinded  in  writing)  for ten (10) days  after the  Borrower  shall have been
notified thereof in writing by the Holder;

     3.3  FAILURE  TO  TIMELY  FILE  REGISTRATION  OR EFFECT  REGISTRATION.  The
Borrower  fails  to file the  Registration  Statement  within  sixty  (60)  days
following  the Closing  Date (as defined in the  Purchase  Agreement)  or obtain
effectiveness  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission of the  Registration
Statement within one hundred  thirty-five  (135) days following the Closing Date
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or such Registration  Statement lapses in
effect (or sales  cannot  otherwise  be made  thereunder  effective,  whether by
reason of the Borrower's failure to amend or supplement the prospectus  included
therein in accordance with the  Registration  Rights Agreement or otherwise) for
more than ten (10)  consecutive  days or twenty  (20) days in any  twelve  month
period after the Registration Statement becomes effective;

     3.4 BREACH OF  COVENANTS.  The Borrower  breaches any material  covenant or
other  material term or condition  contained in Sections 1.3, 1.6 or 1.7 of this
Note, or Sections 4(c), 4(e),  4(h),  4(i), 4(j) or 5 of the Purchase  Agreement
and such breach  continues  for a period of ten (10) days after  written  notice
thereof to the Borrower from the Holder;

     3.5  BREACH  OF  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES.  Any  representation  or
warranty  of  the  Borrower  made  herein  or in  any  agreement,  statement  or
certificate  given  in  writing  pursuant  hereto  or  in  connection   herewith
(including,  without  limitation,  the Purchase  Agreement and the  Registration
Rights  Agreement),  shall be false or misleading  in any material  respect when
made and the  breach of which  has (or with the  passage  of time  will  have) a
material  adverse  effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note,
the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement;

     3.6  RECEIVER OR TRUSTEE.  The Borrower or any  subsidiary  of the Borrower
shall make an assignment  for the benefit of creditors,  or apply for or consent
to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial  part of
its  property or  business,  or such a receiver or trustee  shall  otherwise  be
appointed;

                                       13
<PAGE>

     3.7 JUDGMENTS. Any money judgment, writ or similar process shall be entered
or filed  against the Borrower or any  subsidiary  of the Borrower or any of its
property or other  assets for more than  $50,000,  and shall  remain  unvacated,
unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) days unless otherwise consented
to by the Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld;

     3.8  BANKRUPTCY.  Bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or  liquidation
proceedings or other  proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law
for the relief of debtors  shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any
subsidiary of the Borrower, unless such proceeding shall be stayed within thirty
(30) days;

     3.9  DELISTING OF COMMON  STOCK.  The  Borrower  shall fail to maintain the
listing  of the  Common  Stock on at  least  one of the  OTCBB or an  equivalent
replacement  exchange,  the Nasdaq National Market,  the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange; or

     3.10  DEFAULT  UNDER OTHER  NOTES.  An Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing  under  any  of the  other  Notes  issued  pursuant  to the  Purchase
Agreement, then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default  specified in Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, or 3.10, at the
option of the Holders of a majority  of the  aggregate  principal  amount of the
outstanding Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement  exercisable through
the delivery of written  notice to the  Borrower by such  Holders (the  "DEFAULT
NOTICE"),  and upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default  specified in Section
3.6 or 3.8 (unless, under Section 3.8, such proceeding shall be stayed within 30
days), the Notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall
pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder,  an amount
equal to the  greater  of (i)  130%  TIMES  the SUM of (w) the then  outstanding
principal amount of this Note PLUS (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid
principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the "MANDATORY  PREPAYMENT
DATE") PLUS (y) Default Interest,  if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses
(w) and/or (x) PLUS (z) any amounts owed to the Holder  pursuant to Sections 1.3
and  1.4(g)  hereof or  pursuant  to  Section  2(c) of the  Registration  Rights
Agreement  (the then  outstanding  principal  amount of this Note to the date of
payment  PLUS  the  amounts  referred  to in  clauses  (x),  (y) and  (z)  shall
collectively  be known as the "DEFAULT  SUM") or (ii) the "parity  value" of the
Default Sum to be prepaid,  where parity  value means (a) the highest  number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such
Default Sum in accordance  with Article I, treating the Trading Day  immediately
preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the "Conversion Date" for purposes of
determining the lowest  applicable  Conversion  Price,  unless the Default Event
arises as a result of a breach in respect of a specific Conversion Date in which
case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion  Date),  MULTIPLIED BY (b) the
highest  Closing  Price for the Common Stock during the period  beginning on the
date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one day prior to the
Mandatory  Prepayment Date (the "DEFAULT  AMOUNT") and all other amounts payable
hereunder  shall  immediately  become  due  and  payable,  all  without  demand,
presentment or notice,  all of which hereby are expressly waived,  together with
all  costs,  including,   without  limitation,   legal  fees  and  expenses,  of
collection,  and the Holder  shall be entitled to exercise  all other rights and
remedies available at law or in equity. If the Borrower fails to pay the Default
Amount within five (5) business  days of written  notice that such amount is due
and payable,  then the Holder  shall have the right at any time,  so long as the

     4.7  CERTAIN  AMOUNTS.  Whenever  pursuant  to this  Note the  Borrower  is
required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding  principal amount (or the
portion  thereof  required  to be paid at that  time)  plus  accrued  and unpaid
interest  plus Default  Interest on such  interest,  the Borrower and the Holder
agree that the actual  damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on
this Note may be  difficult  to  determine  and the  amount to be so paid by the
Borrower  represents  stipulated  damages  and not a penalty  and is intended to
compensate  the Holder in part for loss of the  opportunity to convert this Note
and to earn a return  from the sale of  shares  of Common  Stock  acquired  upon
conversion  of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such  shares
pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount
of stipulated  damages is not plainly  disproportionate  to the possible loss to
the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert
this Note into shares of Common Stock.

     4.8  ALLOCATIONS OF MAXIMUM SHARE AMOUNT AND RESERVED  AMOUNT.  The Maximum
Share Amount and Reserved  Amount shall be allocated  pro rata among the Holders
of Notes based on the principal amount of such Notes issued to each Holder. Each
increase to the Maximum Share Amount and Reserved  Amount shall be allocated pro
rata among the Holders of Notes based on the principal amount of such Notes held
by each  Holder  at the time of the  increase  in the  Maximum  Share  Amount or
Reserved Amount.  In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise  transfer any of
such Holder's Notes,  each  transferee  shall be allocated a pro rata portion of
such transferor's  Maximum Share Amount and Reserved Amount.  Any portion of the
Maximum Share Amount or Reserved Amount which remains allocated to any person or
entity which does not hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining Holders
of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of such Notes then held by such
Holders.

     4.9 DAMAGES SHARES.  The shares of Common Stock that may be issuable to the
Holder  pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g)  hereof and pursuant to Section 2(c)
of the  Registration  Rights  Agreement  ("DAMAGES  SHARES") shall be treated as
Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of this Note for all purposes  hereof and
shall be subject to all of the limitations and afforded all of the rights of the
other shares of Common Stock issuable  hereunder,  including without limitation,
the right to be included in the  Registration  Statement  filed  pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement.  For purposes of calculating  interest payable on
the outstanding  principal amount hereof,  except as otherwise  provided herein,
amounts  convertible  into Damages  Shares  ("DAMAGES  AMOUNTS")  shall not bear
interest  but must be  converted  prior  to the  conversion  of any  outstanding
principal amount hereof, until the outstanding Damages Amounts is zero.

     4.10  DENOMINATIONS.  At the request of the Holder,  upon surrender of this
Note, the Borrower  shall promptly issue new Notes in the aggregate  outstanding
principal amount hereof, in the form hereof,  in such  denominations of at least
$50,000 as the Holder shall request.

     4.11 PURCHASE AGREEMENT. By its acceptance of this Note, each Holder agrees
to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

     4.12 NOTICE OF CORPORATE  EVENTS.  Except as otherwise  provided below, the
Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common  Stock unless and
only to the extent that it converts  this Note into Common  Stock.  The Borrower
shall  provide  the  Holder  with  prior  notification  of  any  meeting  of the
Borrower's  shareholders  (and copies of proxy  materials and other  information
sent to shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of
its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to
receive  payment of any dividend or other  distribution,  any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire  (including by way of merger,  consolidation,
reclassification  or  recapitalization)  any  share of any  class  or any  other
securities  or property,  or to receive any other  right,  or for the purpose of
determining  shareholders  who  are  entitled  to vote in  connection  with  any
proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially  all of the assets of
the  Borrower  or any  proposed  liquidation,  dissolution  or winding up of the
Borrower,  the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder,  at least twenty (20)
days prior to the record  date  specified  therein (or thirty (30) days prior to
the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date
on which  any such  record  is to be taken  for the  purpose  of such  dividend,
distribution,  right or other event, and a brief statement  regarding the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent
known at such time. The Borrower shall make a public  announcement  of any event
requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with
the  notification  to the Holder in  accordance  with the terms of this  Section
4.12.

                                       16

     4.13  REMEDIES.  The  Borrower  acknowledges  that  a  breach  by it of its
obligations  hereunder will cause  irreparable harm to the Holder,  by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly,  the
Borrower  acknowledges  that the  remedy at law for a breach of its  obligations
under  this  Note will be  inadequate  and  agrees,  in the event of a breach or
threatened  breach by the  Borrower  of the  provisions  of this Note,  that the
Holder shall be entitled,  in addition to all other available remedies at law or
in equity, and in addition to the penalties  assessable herein, to an injunction
or injunctions restraining,  preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof,  without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

                             ARTICLE V. CALL OPTION

     5.1 CALL OPTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article V, so long as (i) no Event of Default or Trading Market Prepayment Event
shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower has a sufficient number
of authorized  shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon full conversion
of the Notes,  then at any time after the Issue Date, and (iii) the Common Stock
is  trading  at or below  $.40 per  share,  the  Borrower  shall have the right,
exercisable  on not less than ten (10) Trading Days prior written  notice to the
Holders of the Notes  (which  notice may not be sent to the Holders of the Notes
until the  Borrower is  permitted  to prepay the Notes  pursuant to this Section
5.1), to prepay all of the  outstanding  Notes in  accordance  with this Section
5.1. Any notice of  prepayment  hereunder (an  "OPTIONAL  PREPAYMENT")  shall be
delivered to the Holders of the Notes at their registered addresses appearing on
the books and records of the  Borrower  and shall state (1) that the Borrower is
exercising its right to prepay all of the Notes issued on the Issue Date and (2)
the date of prepayment (the "OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT NOTICE"). On the date fixed for
prepayment (the "OPTIONAL  PREPAYMENT Date"), the Borrower shall make payment of
the Optional  Prepayment  Amount (as defined  below) to or upon the order of the
Holders as  specified by the Holders in writing to the Borrower at least one (1)
business day prior to the Optional  Prepayment  Date. If the Borrower  exercises
its right to prepay the Notes, the Borrower shall make payment to the holders of
an amount in cash (the  "OPTIONAL  PREPAYMENT  AMOUNT") equal to either (i) 125%
(for prepayments occurring within thirty (30) days of the Issue Date), (ii) 135%
for  prepayments  occurring  between  thirty-one (31) and sixty (60) days of the
Issue Date, or (iii) 145% (for  prepayments  occurring after the sixtieth (60th)
day following the Issue Date), multiplied by the sum of (w) the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note PLUS (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid
principal  amount of this Note to the Optional  Prepayment Date PLUS (y) Default
Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) PLUS (z) any
amounts  owed to the  Holder  pursuant  to  Sections  1.3 and  1.4(g)  hereof or
pursuant  to  Section  2(c)  of the  Registration  Rights  Agreement  (the  then
outstanding  principal  amount  of this  Note to the  date of  payment  PLUS the
amounts  referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall  collectively be known as
the  "OPTIONAL   PREPAYMENT  SUM").   Notwithstanding   notice  of  an  Optional
Prepayment, the Holders shall at all times prior to the Optional Prepayment Date
maintain the right to convert all or any portion of the Notes in accordance with
Article I and any  portion of Notes so  converted  after  receipt of an Optional
Prepayment  Notice and prior to the Optional  Prepayment  Date set forth in such
notice and payment of the aggregate Optional Prepayment Amount shall be deducted
from the  principal  amount of Notes which are  otherwise  subject to prepayment
pursuant to such notice. If the Borrower delivers an Optional  Prepayment Notice
and fails to pay the Optional  Prepayment Amount due to the Holders of the Notes
within two (2)  business  days  following  the  Optional  Prepayment  Date,  the
Borrower  shall forever  forfeit its right to redeem the Notes  pursuant to this
Section 5.1.

     5.2 PARTIAL CALL OPTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this  Article  V, in the event  that the  Average  Daily  Price of the Common
Stock, as reported by the Reporting Service, for each day of the month ending on
any  Determination  Date is below the Initial Market Price, the Borrower may, at
its option,  prepay a portion of the outstanding  principal  amount of the Notes
equal to 104% of the principal amount hereof divided by thirty-six (36) plus one
month's  interest.  The term "INITIAL  MARKET PRICE" means shall mean the volume
weighted  average  price of the  Common  Stock  for the five  (5)  Trading  Days
immediately preceding the Closing which is $.23.
