WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF

MBI FINANCIAL INC.

	 	 	 
	New York, New York

	 	June 30, 2006

     This is to Certify that, for value received, Mr. Arthur Feather
(the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant,
from MBI Financial, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), at any time on or after date
hereof, and not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, five years
after
June 30, 2006, 2,250,000 shares of the Common Stock, US$.0167 par value,
of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price per share equal to US$1.00, subject to
adjustment as to the number of shares and purchase price as hereinafter set forth.
The shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
are called herein the “Warrant Stock.” The price per share of the Warrant Stock
as adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth is sometimes referred to as
the
“Exercise Price.” The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant as to all or any portion of the
shares of the Warrant Stock which such Holder shall have the right to acquire
hereunder. This Warrant is the Warrant referred to in that certain Subscription Agreement
of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and the
Holder.

     (a) Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and
surrender hereof to the Company with the Exercise Notice attached hereto as Annex A.
The Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when (i) the Company has received this
Warrant, together with a completed Exercise Notice, and (ii) the Company has received
payment in the amount of the applicable Exercise Price, notwithstanding that
certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually
delivered to the Holder. If the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed on the date
of receipt of this Warrant, the Exercise Notice and the Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Holder
shall be deemed to be the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the next succeeding day on
which the stock transfer books of the Company shall be opened. If

1

 

this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this
Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder
to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. In the event this
Warrant shall not be exercised on or before 5 (five) years after the date of
issue, this Warrant shall become void and all rights hereunder shall cease.

          (1) Method of Payment. Holder may pay the applicable Exercise Price by cash, check
or cash equivalent.

          (2) Expenses of Issuance. The Company shall issue the shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant without charge to Holder for any issuance tax or other
cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related
issuance of the shares of Common Stock. Each of the shares of Common Stock shall, upon payment
of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and
charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

          (3) Withholding Taxes. Holder shall satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign
withholding tax obligations arising from the exercise of the Warrant or the
subsequent disposition of the Shares.

     (b) Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees that at all times there shall be
authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares
of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise of this

Warrant.

     (c) Fractional Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable in such manner as not
to require the issuance of fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares. If, as a
result of adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant fractional shares would be issuable, no such
fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu thereof the Company shall pay the Holder
an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of one share
of Common Stock. The current value shall be an amount, not less than twice book value,
determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the
Company, such determination to be final and binding on the Holder.

     (d) Exchange or Assignment of Warrant. Holder may not, directly
or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly
or indirectly
(each, a “Transfer”) this Warrant, except that Holder may transfer the Warrant to
Holder’s spouse and direct descendants of Holder, and the heirs, executors, administrators,
testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries of Holder’s estate upon death (each, a
“Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that (x) any such Permitted Transferee shall have
agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Shares and
(y) any transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall not be in violation of applicable
federal or state securities laws.

     (e) Rights of the Holder; Limitation on Liability. The Holder shall
not, prior
to exercise of this Warrant, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in
the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those
expressed in the Warrant. No provision hereof, in absence of an affirmative action by the
Holder to purchase the Warrant Stock, and no enumeration herein of rights or privileges
by the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the Exercise Price of the
Warrant Stock.

     (f) Adjustment of Exercise Rights. The Exercise Price or the number of
shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant, or both shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

          (l) Dividends. In case any additional shares of Common Stock or any obligation or
stock convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (such convertible or
exchangeable obligations or stock being hereinafter called “Convertible Securities”)
shall be issued as a dividend on any class of stock of the Company, such shares
or Convertible Securities, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be increased
proportionately and the number of shares of Warrant Stock then exercisable hereunder
shall be decreased proportionately. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
shall not be required to make any adjustment in the Exercise Price in the case
of the issuance at any time or from time to time of any shares of Common Stock pursuant
to any exercise of this Warrant.

          (2) Effect of “Split-ups” and “Split-down” and Certain Dividends. In
case at any time or from time to time the Company shall subdivide as a
whole, by reclassification, by the issuance of a stock dividend on the Common Stock
payable in Common Stock, or otherwise, the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, with or without par value, the Exercise Price
then in effect shall be reduced proportionately, and the number of shares of Warrant
Stock then exercisable hereunder shall be increased proportionately. In case at any time or
from time to time the Company shall consolidate as a whole, by reclassification or
otherwise, the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of
shares of Common Stock, with or without par value, the Exercise Price then in effect shall
be increased proportionately and the number of shares of Warrant Stock then exercisable
hereunder shall be decreased proportionately.

          (3) Statement of Adjusted Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section (f), the Company shall
forthwith prepare a written statement signed by the President or the Treasurer of the Company,
setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and any adjustment in the number of shares purchasable
hereunder, determined as provided in this Section (f), and in reasonable detail the facts
requiring such adjustment. Such statement shall be filed among the permanent records of the
Company, shall be furnished to the Holder of each Warrant upon request, and shall be open
to inspection by the Holders of the Warrants during normal business hours.

3

 

          (4) Effect of Merger or Consolidation. In case the Company shall
enter into any consolidation with or merger into any other corporation wherein the Company is
not the surviving corporation, or sell or convey its property as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety and in connection with such consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance shares of stock or other securities shall be issuable or deliverable in
exchange for the Common Stock of the Company, the Holder of any Warrant shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase pursuant to such Warrant (in lieu of the number of shares of
Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to purchase immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance) the shares of stock or other
securities to which such number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled at the time
of such consolidation, merger sale or conveyance, at an aggregate Exercise Price equal to that
which would have been payable if such number of shares of Common Stock had been purchased
immediately prior thereto. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
appropriate provision (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company with
the approval of the Holder) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests
thereafter of the Holders of Warrants, to the end that all the provisions of the
Warrants (including adjustment provisions) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to such stock or other securities.

          (5) Reorganization and Reclassification. In case of any capital
reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (except as
provided in Subsection (2) of this Section (f)); the Holder of any Warrant shall thereafter
be entitled to purchase pursuant to such Warrant (in lieu of the number of shares
of Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to purchase immediately
prior to such reorganization or reclassification) the shares of stock of any class or classes
or other securities or property to which the holder of such number of shares of Common
Stock would have been entitled at the time of such reorganization or reclassification, at
an aggregate Exercise Price equal to that which would have been payable if such number
of shares of Common Stock had been purchased immediately prior to such reorganization
or reclassification, appropriate provision (as determined by resolution of the Board
of Directors of the Company with the approval of the Holder) shall be made with respect to the
rights and interest thereafter of the Warrants (including adjustment provisions) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to such stock or
other securities or property.

          (6) Distributions. In case the Company shall make any distribution
of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidation or partial
liquidation dividend or by way of return of capital, or other than as a dividend payable out of
earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the State
of California, then the Holder of this Warrant who thereafter exercises the same as herein
provided after the date of record for the determination of those holders of Common Stock
entitled to such distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price of
the shares of Common Stock stated in this Warrant, in addition to the Shares of Common Stock,
the amount of such assets (or at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof at
the time of such distribution to holders of Common Stock, as such value

4

 

is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which
would have been payable to such Holder had he been the holder of record of such
shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of those entitled
to such distribution.

          (7) Dissolution or Liquidation. In case the Company shall liquidate or
wind up its affairs, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, upon the
exercise thereof, to receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company
which it would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets
as would have been issued, distributed or paid to it upon any such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up with respect to such shares of Common Stock of the Company, had it been the holder
of record of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination
of those entitled to receive any such liquidating distribution; provided, however,
that all rights under this Warrant shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company,
such date to be not earlier than the date of commencement of proceedings for dissolution,
liquidation or winding up and not later than 30 days after such
commencement date, unless the Holder shall have, prior to such termination date,
exercised this Warrant. Notice of such termination of rights under this Warrant shall be given
to the last registered Holder hereof, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, by
mail at least 30 days prior to such termination date. In the event of such notice the Holder may
exercise this Warrant prior to the fifth anniversary hereof.

     (g) Limitations on Transfer of Warrant Stock. The Warrant Stock issuable
pursuant hereto has not been registered under the Act. Accordingly, by acceptance hereof the
Holder agrees that:

          (l) It will acquire the Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto to be held as an
investment and that it will not attempt to sell, distribute or dispose of the same except
pursuant to this agreement and:

(a) pursuant to a registration statement filed and rendered effective
under the Act; or

(b) pursuant to a specific exemption from registration under the Act.

          (2) There shall appear on the certificate or certificates evidencing any
Warrant Stock issued pursuant hereto a legend as follows:

payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby

12

 

expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default
described in Sections 7(f) and 7(g), immediately and without notice, all outstanding
Obligations payable by Company hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default, the Holders may exercise any other right, power or remedy
granted to it by the Transaction Documents or otherwise permitted to it by law, either
by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

     9. SUBORDINATION. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is hereby expressly
subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness.

          (a) Insolvency Proceedings. If there shall occur any receivership, insolvency,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization, or arrangements
with creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws), sale of all or
substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation, or any other marshaling of the assets
and liabilities of the Company, (i) no amount shall be paid by the Company in respect of the
principal of, interest on or other amounts due with respect to
this Note at the time outstanding, unless and until the principal of and interest
on the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding shall be paid in full, and (ii) no claim or proof
of claim shall be filed with the Company by or on behalf of Holder of this Note which shall
assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the principal of and interest on this
Note except subject to the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all of the Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding.

          (b) Default on Senior Indebtedness. If there shall occur an event of default which has
been declared in writing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein, or in
the instrument under which it is outstanding, permitting the holder to accelerate the
maturity thereof and the Holder shall have received written notice thereof from the holder of
such Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or
waived or shall have ceased to exist, or all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full,
no payment shall be made in respect of the principal of or interest on this Note, unless within
one hundred eighty (180) days after the happening of such event of default, the maturity
of such Senior Indebtedness shall not have been accelerated. Not more than one notice
may be given to Holder pursuant to the terms of this Section 9(b) during any 360 day period.

          (c) Further Assurances. By acceptance of this Note, the Holder agrees to execute and
deliver customary forms of subordination agreement requested from time to time by holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and as a condition to the Holder’s rights hereunder, the Company
may require that the Holder execute such forms of subordination agreement; provided that such
forms shall not impose on the Holder terms less favorable than those provided herein.

13

 

          (d) Other Indebtedness. No Indebtedness which does not constitute Senior
Indebtedness shall be senior in any respect to the indebtedness represented by this Note.

          (e) Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holder shall
be subrogated to the rights of the holder(s) of such Senior Indebtedness
(to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holder(s) of such
Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9) to receive payments
and distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness. No such
payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the
Company and its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holder,
be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of this Note; and for
purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Section 9 shall, as between the Company and its creditors, other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or
on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

          (f) No Impairment. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
under this Section 9 to receive cash, securities or other properties otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Holder, nothing contained in this Section 9 shall impair, as between the
Company and the Holder, the obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, to pay to the Holder the principal hereof and interest hereon
as and when the same become due and payable, or shall prevent the Holder, upon default hereunder,
from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or
by applicable law.

          (g) Lien Subordination. Any Lien of the Holder, whether now or hereafter existing in
connection with the amounts due under this Note, on any assets or property of the Company or any
proceeds or revenues therefrom which the Holder may have at any time as security for any amounts
due and obligations under this Note shall be subordinate
to all Liens now or hereafter granted to a holder of Senior Indebtedness by Company or
by law, notwithstanding the date, order or method of attachment or perfection of any such
Lien or the provisions of any applicable law.

          (h) Reliance of Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Holder, by its acceptance
hereof, shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that the foregoing subordination
provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement to and a
consideration of each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was
created or acquired before or after the creation of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and
each such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
subordination provisions in acquiring and holding, or in continuing to hold, such
Senior Indebtedness.

10. CONVERSION.

          (a) Conversion by Holder. At any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of
this Note, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to convert this Note, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof, in whole or in part, into fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, provided that the Holder shall provide at
least thirty (15) days notice to the Company of Holder’s election to convert this Note into
shares of MBIF’s Common Stock. The number of shares of MBIF’s Common Stock into which this
Note may be converted shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of this
Note to be converted by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time
of such conversion. The initial “Conversion Price” shall be equal to $1.00 per share. The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time pursuant to Section 12 hereof and the terms of the Company’s Certificate.

          (b) Conversion Procedure. Conversion Pursuant to Section 10(a). Before the Holder shall
be entitled to convert this Note into shares of MBIF’s Common Stock, it shall surrender this
Note, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company and shall give written notice,
postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert
the same pursuant to Section 10(a), and shall state therein the amount
of the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest, to
be converted and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of MBIF’s
Common Stock are to be issued, subject to compliance by the Holder of this Note
with the transfer restrictions applicable to this Note. The Company shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), issue and deliver
to the Holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of MBIF’s
Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon conversion (bearing such
legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws), together with a
replacement Note (if any principal amount is not converted) and any other securities and
property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of
this Note, including a check payable to Holder for any cash amounts payable as described in
Section 10(c). The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close
of business on the date of the surrender of this Note, and the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of MBIF’s Common Stock upon such conversion shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of MBIF’s Common Stock as of
such date.

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

number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 150% of the number of shares

shall have an initial exercise price equal to $1.00. Each Warrant survives for a period of 5
(five) years from the date when it is issued.

          (d) The shares of MBIF’s Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants issued
pursuant to this Section 11 shall be entitled to “piggy back” registration rights.

     12. CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.

          (a) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should
at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of MBIF’s Common
Stock or other distribution payable in additional shares of MBIF’s Common Stock or
other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of MBIF’s Common Stock
(hereinafter referred to as “MBIF’s Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any
consideration by such holder (including the additional shares of MBIF’s Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the
Conversion Price of this Note shall be appropriately decreased so that the number
of shares of MBIF’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be
increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

          (b) Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of MBIF’s Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the
outstanding shares of MBIF’s Common Stock, then, following the record date of such
combination, the Conversion Price for this Note shall be appropriately increased so that the
number of shares of MBIF’s Common Stock issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in
proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

          (c) Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of:

               (i) Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus

16

 

at the same rate as that of the last such cash dividend theretofore paid)
or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
right; or

               (ii) Any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of
the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company to any other Person or any consolidation or merger
involving the Company; or

               (iii) Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company, the Company will mail to Holder of this Note at least ten (10) days prior
to the earliest date specified therein, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and
the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right; and (B) the date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective and the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to vote thereon.

          (d) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of MBIF’s Common
Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of
its shares of MBIF’s Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares of MBIF’s Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion
of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, without limitation of such other
remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, the Company will use its best efforts
to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of MBIF’s Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be
sufficient for such purposes.

     13. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by
the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder or by the Holder without the prior
written consent of the Company. Subject to the foregoing and the restrictions on transfer
described in Section 15 below, the rights and obligations
of the Company and the Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs,
administrators and transferees of the parties.

     15. TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE OR SECURITIES ISSUABLE ON CONVERSION HEREOF. With respect to
any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or any securities into which
this Note may be converted, the Holder will give written notice to the Company
prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of
the Holder’s counsel, to the effect that such offer, sale

17

 

or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification
under any federal or state law then in effect. Promptly upon receiving such written
notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested and subject to Section 13, the
Company,
as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder that the Holder may sell or otherwise
dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the
notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 15
that the opinion of counsel for the Holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the
Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been made.
Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus
transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order
to ensure compliance with the Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend
is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Act. The Company may issue stop
transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

     16. NOTICES. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,

delivery, addressed (i) if to the Holder, at such Holder’s address set forth at the
end of this Agreement, or at such other address as such Holder shall have furnished the
Company in writing, or (ii) if to the Company, at its address or fax number set forth at the
end of this Agreement, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the
Holder in writing. Any party hereto may by notice so given change its address for future
notice hereunder. Notice shall conclusively be deemed to have been given when received.

     17. PAYMENT. Payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States.

     18. EVENT OF DEFAULT CONSEQUENCES. During any period in which
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holder shall have the right, at the
Holder’s option, to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at an initial
conversion price of $0.50 per share.

     19. EXPENSES; WAIVERS. If action is instituted to collect this Note, the Company promises
to pay all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by one counsel representing all Holders designated
in accordance with Section 21 herein below, in connection with such action. The Company hereby
waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of
nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument. The
Company shall pay on demand all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Holder with respect to the enforcement or
attempted enforcement of any of the obligations of the Company to the Holder under the
Transaction Documents or in preserving any of the Holder’s rights and remedies (including,

reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Note and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender

executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same principal amount as the
unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid
on such Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of such Note.

     21. ACTION OF HOLDERS. Any action required or permitted to be taken
by the Holders of this Note and the other Notes, and any demand, sent, forbearance or waiver,
shall be effective only with the consent or other affirmative action of the majority
in interest of then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes. No such demand, consent, waiver or
forbearance shall be of any force or effect without such consent or other action.

     22. GOVERNING LAW. This Note and all actions arising out of or in
connection with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the
