The Offering and the Transactions

A.

The Notes.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company proposes to issue and sell to the Purchaser (i) a $_________ principal amount of the Company’ 10% convertible senior secured promissory notes, due September 15, 2009 (the “Note”); and (ii) three (3) year warrants entitling the Purchaser to purchase at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”) that number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as shall be determined by dividing the $_________ principal amount of the Note by $3.00 (the “Warrant”).  

The Note and the Warrant is being sold to the Purchaser hereunder, together with an aggregate of: (i) up to $15,000,000 principal amount of Notes identical to the Note (collectively, with the Purchaser’s Note, hereinafter referred to as the “10% Notes” or “Notes”), and (ii) warrants, identical to the Warrant, entitling all holders (including the Purchaser) to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the Exercise Price (collectively, with the Purchaser’s Warrant, the “Warrants”), that are being offered and sold by the Company to other investors (collectively, with the Purchaser, the “Purchasers”).  

The Notes:

(a)

shall be payable as to interest only, at the rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30th and December 31st, based on a 360 day calendar year; which semi-annual interest shall be payable either 100% in cash, or at the option of the Company, 50% in cash and the balance in additional shares of Company Common Stock valued at the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) for the five trading days prior to the interest payment date, but without regard to the “Assumed Floor Price” (as hereinafter defined) then in effect; provided, 

1

that if any of the Purchasers converts their Notes, in whole or in part, accrued interest on the outstanding balance of the Notes shall be paid on the next scheduled interest payment date, and a pro rata amount of interest shall be paid for any period of less than six months;

(b)

unless previously converted by the Purchaser into common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), shall be payable as to principal, together with all accrued an unpaid interest, and any and all late charges and other amounts that may be due under the Note, on September 15, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”);

(c)

at such time as the Company shall have obtained the approval of the holders of a majority of the approximately 19.6 million shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company for (i) the acquisition of the GMI Stock, (ii) the sale and issuance of all “Transaction Securities” described below (including the Note and Warrants), and (iii) an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing its 30,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock to 250.0 million shares of Common Stock (collectively the “Stockholder Approval”), but in no event later than December 31, 2004, shall be convertible, at any time, at the option of the Purchaser into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Note Conversion Shares”), at a price per share (the “Conversion Price”) that shall be equal to 50% of the average closing price of Company Common Stock, as traded on the American Stock Exchange, LLC (the “AMEX”) or on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or the NASD OTC-Bulletin Board (together with the AMEX, a “National Securities Exchange”), for the five trading days immediately prior to the date (the “Conversion Date”) that notice of conversion is given to the Company by the Purchaser (the “Conversion Notice”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than $3.00 per share (the “Floor Price”);

(d)

be secured by a lien and security interest (the “Lien”) on the assets of the Internet Billing Company LLC (“iBill”) subsidiary of the Company, as set forth in the Security Agreement.  The Lien securing the Notes shall be expressly (i) subject and subordinate to the first priority Lien on the assets of iBill now existing or hereafter granted to any person, firm or corporation (the “Senior Lender”) providing up to $10.0 million of working capital financing to iBill (the “iBill Senior Financing”), and (ii) subject and subordinate to the second priority Lien granted to the holders of up to $3.45 million of 10% senior secured Series F convertible redeemable preferred stock of the Company that may be issued on or before September 15, 2004 and (unless converted) are subject to mandatory redemption on September 15, 2009 (the “Series F Senior Preferred Stock”); and

(e)

be secured by (i) Media Billing’s pledge of a pro-rata percentage of 100% of the members interest of iBill, and (ii) a pro-rata percentage of the 395,519 shares of “GMI Stock” in the “Reorganized General Media” (as those terms are hereinafter defined) to be owned by the Company; which pledged securities shall be apportioned among the Purchasers and the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis based upon the initial $9.525 million Purchase Price for the 10% Notes and the initial $3.45 million purchase price for the Series F Preferred Stock; provided, that if additional 10% Notes are sold following the date hereof (not to exceed $4.475 million in the aggregate) or if $2.0 million of Penthouse equity shall be exchanged for an additional $2.0 million of Series F Preferred Stock, such allocation of the pledged iBill members interests and GMI Stock shall be appropriately readjusted; it being 

2

anticipated that (subject to the above adjustment) 73.41% of the iBill members interest and 290,351 shares of GMI Stock will initially be pledged to the Purchasers of Notes, and 26.59% of the iBill members interest and an aggregate of 105,168 shares of GMI Stock will be pledged to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock of the Company; and 

(f)

be substantially in the form attached hereto at Exhibit A and made a part hereof.

(g)

Notwithstanding the foregoing $3.00 per share Floor Price, described in Paragraph 1.A.(c) above, in the event that 50% of the average closing price of Company Common Stock, as traded on the AMEX or another National Securities Exchange, for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date, shall be less than the $3.00 Floor Price on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that notice of conversion is given to the Company by the Purchaser (the “Conversion Notice”), then, and in such event, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the “Escrowed Shares,” hereinafter defined, that number of additional shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Adjustment Shares”) as shall represent, together with the number of Note Conversion Shares issued at the Conversion Price then in effect, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable (a) based upon the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) assuming that the Floor Price had been reduced to $1.00 per share (the “Assumed Floor Price”).  

A maximum of up to 39,916,666 Adjustment Shares of the Company are subject to potential issuance to (i) up to a maximum of 25,000,000 of such Adjustment Shares, to the Purchaser and other Purchasers of up to a maximum of $15,000,000 of 10% Notes (ii) up to a maximum of 5,833,333 of such Adjustment Shares to the holders of $3,500,000 stated value of Series E convertible preferred stock hereinafter described (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), and (iii) up to a maximum of 9,083,333 of such Adjustment Shares to the holders of $5,450,000 stated value of Series F Senior Preferred Stock. Such maximum number of Adjustment Shares shall be subject to adjustment in the event that the Assumed Floor Price is lowered pursuant to the terms of the 10% Notes.  

For the avoidance of doubt, if for example, the Purchaser sends a Conversion Notice to convert $1,000,000 of its Note and the Conversion Price (calculated based upon 50% of the average closing price of Company, as traded on the AMEX or another National Securities Exchange, for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date) shall be $1.00 per share, notwithstanding the $3.00 Floor Price set forth above and in the Note, the Purchaser would be entitled to receive for no additional consideration, out of the Escrowed Shares described below, an additional 666,667 shares of Common Stock.  In such example, however, based on the $0.50 per share Assumed Floor Price, in no event would the Company be required to issue more than 1,666,667 Adjustment Shares, even if the Conversion Price then in effect was less than $0.50.  

(h)

To avoid further dilution to the Company if Adjustment Shares become issuable to holders of the Series F Senior Preferred Stock, 10% Notes and Series E Preferred Stock, GMI Investment Partners, a principal stockholder of the Company, and their affiliates described in Section 1B below and the Company, have entered into an 

3

escrow agreement with legal counsel to the Company and legal counsel to the holders of each of the 10% Notes, Series F Senior Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock.  Under the terms of the escrow agreement (the “Series G Preferred Stock Escrow Agreement”), an aggregate of 29,929 shares of the Company’s “Series G Preferred Stock” (described below) that are automatically convertible into an aggregate of 39,916,666 shares of Common Stock of the Company by not later than December 31, 2004, are being placed in escrow (the “Escrowed Shares”).  Such Escrowed Shares includes shares of Series G Preferred Stock convertible into a maximum of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock being held for the benefit of the Purchaser and all other Purchasers of Notes.   In the event that the Conversion Price shall be less than $3.00 per share on any Conversion Date, within three (3) Business Days after a Conversion Notice shall be delivered to counsel to the Company and to the Purchaser setting forth the calculation of the appropriate number of Escrowed Shares to be delivered to the Purchaser as Adjustment Shares, the Escrow Agents shall cause certificates evidencing such Adjustment Shares (up to the maximum 25,000,000 Adjustment Shares available to Purchaser and all other Purchasers of 10% Notes) to be delivered to the Purchasers.  The Purchaser hereby agrees to the terms set forth in the Series G Preferred Stock Escrow Agreement, including the appointment of Granite Financial Partners LLC, as a Series G Preferred Stock Escrow Agent. Similar escrow arrangements are also available with counsel to the holders of Series F Senior Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock. Any Escrowed Shares no longer subject to issuance as Adjustment Shares or otherwise remaining in escrow following conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding 10% Notes, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Senior Preferred Stock, shall be promptly returned to GMI Partners or its Affiliates.  

(i)

The Note Conversion Shares, any Adjustment Shares that the Purchaser may acquire at any time, and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Note Warrant Shares”), are subject to limitation, so that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of which such Purchaser and all persons affiliated with such Purchaser have beneficial ownership (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock.

(j)

The Note, all other Notes, the Note Conversion Shares, the Adjustment Shares, and any Note Warrant Shares that may be issued to the Purchaser and other Purchasers of Notes are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "Securities."  This Agreement, the form of Notes, the Warrants in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto, the Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto (the “Security Agreement”), the Pledge Agreement in the form of Exhibit D annexed hereto (the “Pledge Agreement”), the Registration Rights Agreement in the form of Exhibit E annexed hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the GMI Stock Purchase Agreement in the form of Exhibit F annexed hereto, the Series G Preferred Stock Escrow Agreement in the form of Exhibit G annexed hereto, and the Plan (a copy of which has been provided to Purchaser) are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "Transaction Documents."

(l)

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has made available (including electronically via the SEC’s EDGAR system) to Purchaser its periodic and current reports, forms, schedules, proxy statements and other documents (including exhibits and all other information incorporated by reference) filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since January 1, 2002.

after giving effect to the issuance of all Conversion Shares (based on a $3.00 per share Conversion Price in the Series F Preferred Stock and the stated floor price set forth in the 10% Notes and certificates of designations of the Series E Preferred Stock) of all outstanding Preferred Stock, 

it is anticipated that an aggregate of 170,000,000 shares of Fully-Diluted Company Common Stock will be outstanding, before issuance of up to approximately 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to anti-dilution adjustment) that may be issued as Warrant Shares to holders of 10% Notes, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock.

AMEX Approval. In August 2004, the Company announced its consummation of the acquisition of Media Billing Company, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Internet Billing Company LLC (“iBill”), pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement, dated July 22, 2004, as amended (the “iBill Purchase Agreement”).  On September 20, 2004, the Company received a notice from the AMEX of its intention to de-list the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the AMEX, pending a hearing requested by the Company.  The delisting notice stated, among other things, that the Company failed to furnish certain necessary information to the AMEX concerning iBill and that the iBill Acquisition raised certain public interest concerns.  On September 23, 2004, the Company agreed to rescind the closing of the iBill Acquisition.  However, the iBill Purchase Agreement continues to remain in full force and effect.  As a result of its agreement to rescind the closing of the iBill Acquisition, pending the resolution of all listing eligibility issues and AMEX approvals, the staff of the AMEX agreed to withdraw its notice of intent to de-list the Company’s securities.  

The Company intends to furnish the information requested by the AMEX on a timely basis and is hopeful that the staff of the AMEX will, upon receipt and review of such information, provide all necessary approvals for the iBill Acquisition.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfactorily resolve all listing issues or that it will receive all such AMEX approvals associated with the iBill transaction.  However, if for any reason, AMEX approval has not been obtained by January 21, 2005, the Company will nevertheless close the iBill Acquisition, withdraw from the AMEX and seek to re-list its Common Stock on another National Securities Exchange.  

Following receipt of the AMEX notice of delisting, on September 23, 2004, each of the Company, Penthouse and GMI Investment Partners entered into an agreement (the “September 23rd Agreement”) that provides that the iBill Acquisition will be consummated, all shares of the Company Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issuable to Penthouse upon consummation of the iBill Acquisition will be issued, and all of the Series D Preferred Stock will be converted into approximately 81.4 million shares of Company Common Stock, upon the earlier to occur of (i) AMEX Approval of the iBill Acquisition, or (ii) January 21, 2005.  The Company has delivered to legal counsel to Penthouse, for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the earlier of AMEX Approval or January 21, 2005, a duly executed undated certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock, containing no conditions to conversion of such securities into Common Stock. 

In addition, pursuant to the September 23rd Agreement, the Company has also delivered to legal counsel to Penthouse, for delivery to the 10% Note holders or filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as applicable, on the earlier of Stockholder Approval or December 31, 2004 (i) duly executed 10% Notes, and (ii) duly executed undated certificates of designation for each of the Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Senior Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred Stock, which Notes and Certificates contain no conditions to conversion of any of such securities into Company Common Stock.

(a)

The Disclosure Documents as of their respective dates did not, and will not (after giving effect to any updated disclosures therein) as of the Closing Date as defined in Section 3 below, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The Disclosure Documents and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, at the time they were filed or hereafter are filed with the SEC, complied and will comply, at the time of filing, in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, as applicable.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been duly incorporated and each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is validly existing in good standing as a corporation under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as now conducted as described in the Disclosure Documents and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions where the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or other), properties, prospects or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole based on a reasonable person standard (any such event, a "Material Adverse Effect").  As of the Closing Date, the Company has and will have the authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization set forth above in Section 1 this Agreement (the “Company Capitalization”).  Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents or on Schedule A, the Company does not have any subsidiaries or own directly or indirectly any of the capital stock or other equity or long-term debt securities of or have any equity interest in, or own any indebtedness of, any other person.  All of the outstanding Notes of capital stock of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights and are owned free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities, and restrictions on transferability (other than those imposed by the Securities Act and the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws) or voting; except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, all of the outstanding Notes of capital stock of the Subsidiaries are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, no options, warrants or other rights to purchase from the Company or any Subsidiary, agreements or other obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to issue or other rights to convert any obligation into, or exchange any securities for, Notes of capital stock of or ownership interests in the Company or any Subsidiary are outstanding.

Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

(a)

The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder (including the Notes and the Note Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion thereof, as the case may be) are being acquired for his its own account for investment and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Securities (including the Notes and the Note Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be) or any part thereof or interest therein in any transaction which would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any State.  Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prejudice or otherwise limit a Purchaser's right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Notes or Note Conversion Shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration.  By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any Person with respect to any of the Securities.

(b)

The Purchaser understands that the Notes and the Note Conversion Shares and Adjustment Shares that may be acquired upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and, if requested by the Company, based upon an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company) or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and (b) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.

The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as appropriate, of the following legend on the Securities (including the Notes the Note Conversion Shares and any Adjustment Shares that he or it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be):

The Securities evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such Securities may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

The legend set forth above may be removed if and when the Notes or the Note Conversion Shares or the Adjustment Shares, as the case may be, are disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the area of United States Federal securities laws such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act.  The Notes, the Note Conversion Shares and the Adjustment Shares shall also bear any other legends required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, which legends may be removed when in the opinion 

20

of counsel to the Company experienced in the applicable securities laws, the same are no longer required under the applicable requirements of such securities laws.  The Company agrees that it will provide each Purchaser, upon request, with a substitute certificate, not bearing such legend at such time as such legend is no longer applicable.

(d)

The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that he or it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, having been represented by counsel, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

10% CONVERTIBLE SECURED NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CARE CONCEPTS I, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to ______________________________________, having an address at ________________________________________________________________ (the “Holder”) or his or its registered assigns or successors in interest, on order, the sum of ________________________________________ DOLLARS ($_________), or such other amount as may be from time to time owing to the Holder hereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on September 15, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner paid.

For purposes hereof, a “Business Day” means any day on which United States federally chartered banks are open for business and a “Trading Day” means each day the applicable National Market (as defined in Section 2.4) on which the Common Stock (as defined in Section 1.2) is traded is open and available to trade securities.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Subscription Agreement dated as of September 20, 2004 between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I

INTEREST & AMORTIZATION

1.1.

Interest Rate and Payment.  Interest on this Note shall be payable as to the outstanding principal only, at the rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30th and December 31st of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) based on a 360 day calendar year.  The Company shall have the right on each Interest Payment Date to pay interest on this Note payable either (a) 100% in cash, or (b) at the option of the Company, 50% in cash and the balance in additional shares of Company Common Stock valued at the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) for the five trading days prior to the interest payment date, but without regard to the “Assumed Floor Price” (as hereinafter defined) then in effect.  In the event that the Holder elects to convert all or any part of this Note, accrued interest on the outstanding balance of this Note shall be paid on the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, and a pro rata amount of interest shall be paid for any period of less than six months.

1

1.2.

Principal Payment.  Unless previously converted by the Holder into common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), shall be payable as to principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, on September 15, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”).

1.3

Prepayment.

At such time (and only at such time) as all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the entire amount of this Note (the “Conversion Shares”) shall have been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective Registration Statement covering such Conversion Shares, or an exemption from such registration requirements shall be available with respect to the Conversion Shares, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice to the registered Holder of this Note (the “Prepayment Notice”), to prepay all or any portion of this Note, together with accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid; provided, however, that the Holder of this Note shall have the absolute right to convert all or any portion of this Note into Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect, at any time on or before the date (the “Prepayment Date”) set forth in such Prepayment Notice on which all or any portion of this Note shall be so prepaid. The parties acknowledge that the Company shall provide a copy of such Prepayment Notice to the holders of the Company’s Series F Senior Preferred Stock upon at least ninety (90) days prior to the Prepayment Date and that the holders of such Series F Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Series F Senior Preferred Stock by written notice provided to the Company within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Prepayment Notice.     

ARTICLE II

 CONVERSION RIGHTS

2.1.

Holder’s Conversion Rights. Upon the earlier to occur of (a) December 31, 2004, or (b) the Corporation’s obtaining “Stockholder Approval” (as that term is defined in the Subscription Agreement) and until the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with Interest due hereon, into shares of Common Stock subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II.  The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Company of a written notice of conversion not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date upon which such conversion shall occur.  The date upon which such conversion shall occur is the conversion date (“Conversion Date”).  Holder shall have the right to convert any portion of the then aggregate outstanding amount of this Note, together with interest due thereon at any time.

2.2.

Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3.3(a)) that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note and exercise of the warrants held by such Holder and its affiliates with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of 

2

more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such date.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  The Holder may void the limitation described in this Section 2.2 upon 75 days prior notice to the Company or without any notice requirement upon an Event of Default.

2.3.

Procedures for Conversion. 

(a)

In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give written notice of such election by delivering to the Company an executed and completed notice of conversion (the “Notice of Conversion”), such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees being converted.  On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with the Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Company within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Note, to be the Conversion Date.  A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

(b)

Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent (together with such other documents as the transfer agent may request) within two (2) Business Days of the date of the delivery to Company of the Notice of Conversion.  If the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is effective or the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the “Conversion Shares” and any “Adjustment Shares” (as hereinafter defined) to any address or depositary directed by the Holder within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”).  

2.4.

Conversion Mechanics.  

(a)

The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note (the “Conversion Shares”) shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest to be converted, if any, by the “Conversion Price” then in effect.  The Conversion Price shall be equal to 50% of the average closing price of Company, as traded on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “AMEX”) or on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or the NASD OTC-Bulletin Board (together with the AMEX, a “National Securities Exchange”), for the five Trading Days immediately prior to the Conversion Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than $3.00 per share (the “Floor Price”).   

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing $3.00 per share Floor Price, in the event that 50% of the average closing price of Company Common Stock, as traded on the AMEX or 

3

another National Securities Exchange, for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date, shall be less than the $3.00 Floor Price on the date the Conversion Notice is given to the Company by the Holder, then, and in such event, the Holder shall be entitled to receive from the “Escrowed Shares,” hereinafter defined, that number of additional shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Adjustment Shares”) as shall represent, together with the number of Note Conversion Shares issued at the Conversion Price then in effect, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable (a) based upon the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) assuming that the Floor Price had been reduced to $0.50 per share (the “Assumed Floor Price”).  

A maximum of up to 39,916,666 Adjustment Shares of the Company are subject to potential issuance to (i) up to a maximum of 25,000,000 of such Adjustment Shares, to the Holder of this Note and other Holders of to a maximum of $15,000,000 of 10% Notes (ii) up to a maximum of 5,833,333 of such Adjustment Shares to the holders of $3,500,000 stated value of Series E Preferred Stock referred to in the Subscription Agreement, and (iii) up to a maximum of 9,083,333 of such Adjustment Shares to the holders of the $5,450,000 stated value of Series F Senior Preferred Stock referred to in the Subscription Agreement..  

For the avoidance of doubt, if for example, the Holder of this Note sends a Conversion Notice to convert $1,000,000 of its Note and the Conversion Price (calculated based upon 50% of the average closing price of Company, as traded on the AMEX or another National Securities Exchange, for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date) shall be $1.00 per share, notwithstanding the $3.00 Floor Price in this Note, the Holder would be entitled to receive for no additional consideration, out of the Escrowed Shares described below, an additional 666,667 shares of Common Stock.  In such example, however, based on the $0.50 per share Assumed Floor Price, in no event would the Company be required to issue more than 1,666,667 Adjustment Shares, even if the Conversion Price then in effect was less than $0.50.  

To avoid further dilution to the Company if Adjustment Shares become issuable to the Holder, other holders of the Notes, and the holders of Series F Senior Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, GMI Investment Partners, a principal stockholder of the Company, and their affiliates described in the Subscription Agreement, have agreed to place in a joint escrow between legal counsel to the Company and legal counsel to the respective holders of each of the Notes, the Series F Senior Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock an aggregate of 29,929 shares of the Company’s “Series G Preferred Stock” (described below) that are automatically convertible into an aggregate of 39,916,666 shares of Common Stock of the Company by not later than December 31, 2004 (the “Escrowed Shares”).   In the event that the Conversion Price shall be less than $3.00 per share on any Conversion Date, within three (3) Business Days after a Conversion Notice shall be delivered to counsel to the Company and to the Holder setting forth the calculation of the appropriate number of Escrowed Shares to be delivered to the Purchaser as Adjustment Shares, the Escrow Agents shall cause certificates evidencing such Adjustment Shares (up to the maximum of 25,000,000 Adjustment Shares available to Holder of this Note and all other Holders of 10% Notes) to be delivered to the Purchaser.  

4

(c)

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of this Note.  In lieu of any fractional share to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay Holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value as of the date of Conversion of a share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), or an authorized subcommittee thereof.

(d)

Adjustments.  The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

(i)

Reclassification, etc.  If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, the Principal Amount of this Note, and any accrued and interest thereon and fees incurred hereunder, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

(ii)

Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends.  If the shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price or the Adjustment Shares to be issued, as the case may be, shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

2.5.

Reorganizations, Consolidations, etc.

In the event, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any change in the powers, designations, preferences and rights (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any) of the capital stock of the Company as amended from time to time) (any such transaction, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), then all of the amounts owed under this Note shall be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the corporation resulting from or surviving such Extraordinary Transaction, that a holder of the number of shares of Conversion Shares deliverable (immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Extraordinary Transaction) upon conversion of the amounts owed under this Note would have been entitled to receive upon such Extraordinary Transaction.  

5

ARTICLE III

If, with respect to any Event of Default within the Default Notice Period the Company cures the Event of Default, the Event of Default will be deemed to no longer exist, and except for the payment of late fees by Company, any rights and remedies of Holder pertaining to such Event of Default will be of no further force or effect.
