(a)           In the event that the Maker receives a Conversion Notice duly executed, to the Maker at the Fax number provided in the Conversion Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A at any time from the Issuance Date until a date which is up to 12 months from the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) a number which is 75% of the average Closing Price for the immediate preceding 10 Trading Days.

The term “Closing Price” shall mean, on any particular date (i) the last trading price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last trading price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker; or

(c)           In the event that the Maker receives a Conversion Notice duly executed, to the Maker at the Fax number provided in the Conversion Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A at any time from a date which is after 24 months from the Issuance Date up to the Maturity Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) a number which is 90% of the average Closing Price for the immediate preceding 10 Trading Days;







Section 3.3.                      Adjustment of Conversion Rate.                                                      The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:







(a)           Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustments under this Section shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.







(b)           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 to the same or 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), or a reorganization, merger, or consolidation, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the conversion price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the conversion price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon 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.







(c)           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 Maker (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions) or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares, or a merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change, (A) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the Pink Sheets or OTC Bulletin Board, 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 shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Maker or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national exchange or the Pink Sheets or OTC Bulletin Board, the Holder shall have the right to demand prepayment of this Note.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section (including any adjustment in the applicable 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)           Certificates 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 this Note pursuant to this section, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the 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 this Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker 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.







(e)           Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall round up to the next share.







(f)           Reservation of Common Stock.  The Maker shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and all interest accrued thereon.
