CONVERSION.

 

(a)         
Voluntary

and accrued but unpaid Interest of this Note at any time before the
Maturity Date, in whole or in part, without penalty or
prepayment.

 

(b)        
Conversion. Upon
the Company’s shareholders’ approval of the conversion
of this Note (the “Shareholder Approval”), at any time
before the Maturity Date, the Holder may convert the unpaid and
outstanding Principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion
price (the “Conversion
Price”) of $5.59 per share, subject to certain
adjustments as set forth in Section 5(d). For clarification
purposes, prior to or without the Shareholder Approval, this Note
is and shall remain non-convertible and will be due and payable in
cash by the Company on the Maturity Date if the Company has not

Mechanics of
Conversion.

Date”) after receiving a conversion notice
substantially in a form attached herein as Exhibit 1, the Company shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Conversion Stock or a share report of
the Holder reflecting the issuance of Conversion Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of this Note, in whole or in
part.

 

ii.          
Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a
share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon
such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a
cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round
up to the next whole share.

 

(d)         
Certain
Adjustments.

 

i.           Stock
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is
outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of a
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (iii) issues, in the event of a
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the
Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.

ii.           Notice
of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion
Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d), the Company or the
Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting
forth the new Conversion Price with three (3) Business Days after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. Failure to provide such notice shall not
constitute an Event of Default.

      COVENANTS. Until so long as no
Principal or accrued but unpaid Interest remains
outstanding:

 

(a)          Preservation
of Existence. The Company shall maintain and preserve
its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain duly
qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned or leased by the Company or in
which the transaction of its business makes such qualification
necessary.

 

(b)        
Public Filings. The
Company shall use its best efforts to maintain its periodic filings
required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)
and keep its Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or
another United States stock exchange market.

 

  7.          BENEFICIAL

indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the
Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and
conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid
Interest, from the Issuance Date.

rights of the Holder of this Note.

5.        
PREPAYMENT;
CONVERSION.

 

(a)         
Voluntary
Prepayment. The Company may prepay the outstanding Principal
and accrued but unpaid Interest of this Note at any time before the
Maturity Date, in whole or in part, without penalty or
prepayment.

 

(b)        
Conversion. Upon
the Company’s shareholders’ approval of the conversion
of this Note (the “Shareholder Approval”), at any time
before the Maturity Date, the Holder may convert the unpaid and
outstanding Principal plus any accrued and unpaid Interest into
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion
price (the “Conversion
Price”) of $5.59 per share, subject to certain
adjustments as set forth in Section 5(d). For clarification
purposes, prior to or without the Shareholder Approval, this Note
is and shall remain non-convertible and will be due and payable in
cash by the Company on the Maturity Date if the Company has not
obtained the Shareholder Approval by the Maturity
Date.

 

(c)         
Mechanics of
Conversion.

 

i.           Delivery
of Conversion Stock Upon Conversion. Not later than seven
(7) Business Days (the “Share
Delivery Date”) after receiving a conversion notice
substantially in a form attached herein as Exhibit 1, the Company shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Conversion Stock or a share report of
the Holder reflecting the issuance of Conversion Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of this Note, in whole or in
part.

 

ii.
          Fractional Shares. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a
share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon
such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a
cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round
up to the next whole share.

 

(d)         
Certain
Adjustments.

 

i.           Stock
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is
outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of a
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (iii) issues, in the event of a
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the
Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.

ii.           Notice
of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion
Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d), the Company or the
Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting
forth the new Conversion Price with three (3) Business Days after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. Failure to provide such notice shall not
constitute an Event of Default.

 

6.   
       COVENANTS. Until so long as no
Principal or accrued but unpaid Interest remains
outstanding:

 

(a)          Preservation
of Existence. The Company shall maintain and preserve
its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain duly
qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned or leased by the Company or in
which the transaction of its business makes such qualification
necessary.

 

(b)         
Public Filings. The
Company shall use its best efforts to maintain its periodic filings
required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)
and keep its Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or
another United States stock exchange market.

 

  7.        
BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP. In the event that the Holder’s Beneficial
Ownership (as defined below) of the Company’s Common Stock
reaches 5.00% or more, as a result of the Conversion or others, the
Holder has agreed to coordinate with the Company to file certain
disclosure documents as required by Section 13(d) of the 1934
Securities Exchange Act, as amended.  For purposes of this
Section 7, the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership shall mean the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder
and its Affiliates, as defined and calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.  

  

8.        
   AMENDMENTS. No modification,
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note shall be
effective unless in writing and approved by the Company and the
Holder. 

 

9.          RESTRICTIONS
ON TRANSFER.
This Note may not be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the
Holder without the explicit written consent of the Company, which
may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the
Company.

10.          REISSUANCE
OF THIS NOTE.

 

(a)          Transfer.
If this Note is to be transferred with the Company’s approval
as provided in Section 9, the Holder shall surrender this Note to
the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver
upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section
10(c)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the
outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less
than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new
Note (in accordance with Section 10(c)) to the Holder representing
the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that,
by reason of prepayment or conversion of any portion of this Note,
the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than
the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

 

(b)          Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written
certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall
suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to
the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the
Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in
accordance with Section 10(c)) representing the outstanding
Principal. 

 

(c)          Issuance
of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a
new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i)
shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as
indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining
outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to
Section 10(a), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when
added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in
connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal
remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such
issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as
indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the
Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and
conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid
Interest, from the Issuance Date.

 

11.          REMEDIES,
CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under
this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the
Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for
any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Note.

12.          LEGEND.
The Holder understands and agrees that the Conversion Stock upon
