This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:


 


1.          The Note is issuable in denominations of Ten Thousand Dollars (US$10,000) and integral multiples thereof, provided that the number of shares to be issued upon conversion is a minimum of 3,000 (unless if at the time of election to convert the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is less than 3,000).

2.         The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after the Maturity Date, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by eighty percent (80%) (the "Conversion Price"). "Current Market Price" means the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market, for the five (5) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.


 


Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert a specified portion hereof No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice ("Notice of Conversion"), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number            ) ATTN: Chief Financial Officer. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date. ("Delivery Date")


 


The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date (as defined in this Section) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon Conversion, unless the delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Transfer Agent, in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. Business Days Late" refers to the number of business days which is beyond three (3)) business days after the Delivery Date):

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder's remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company's reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.


 


If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company's reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a "Converting Holder") purchases, in an arm's-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy-hi Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-1n with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.
