sale under the Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities
laws relating to the offer and sale of securities; or (ii) exemptions from the

<PAGE>

registration requirements of the Act and the registration or qualification
requirements of all such state securities laws are available and USA shall have
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to USA that the proposed
sale or other disposition of such securities may be effected without
registration under the Act and would not result in any violation of any
applicable securities laws relating to the registration or qualification of
securities for sale.

         4. SUBORDINATION.

                  A. SUBORDINATION TO SENIOR DEBT. The indebtedness (including
unpaid principal of and interest on this Convertible Senior Note) as well as all
other obligations and liabilities of USA to Lender hereunder evidenced in this
Convertible Senior Note is subordinated to the prior payment when due of the
principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and all other amounts due in
connection with or under all "Senior Debt" (as defined below) as follows: Upon
any distribution of its assets in a liquidation or dissolution of USA, or in
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings
relating to USA, the Lender shall not be entitled to receive payment until the
holders of Senior Debt are paid in full. Until a payment default occurs with
respect to any Senior Debt, all payments of principal and interest due to Lender
under this Convertible Senior Note shall be made in accordance with this
Convertible Senior Note. Upon the occurrence of any payment default with respect
to any Senior Debt then, upon written notice thereof to USA and Lender by any
holder of such Senior Debt or its representative, no payments of principal or
interest on the Convertible Senior Note shall be made by USA until such payment
default has been cured to the satisfaction of the holder of such Senior Debt or
waived by such holder, provided, however, that if during the 180 day period
following such default, the holder of Senior Debt has not accelerated its loan,
commenced foreclosure proceedings or otherwise undertaken to act on such default
then USA shall be required to continue making payments under the Convertible
Senior Note, including any which had not been paid during such 180 day period.
In the event that any Bank Or Other Financial Institution at any time so
requires, the Lender shall execute, upon request of USA, any intercreditor or
subordination agreement(s) with and/or in favor of any such Bank Or Other
Financial Institution on terms not materially more adverse to the Lender then
the subordination terms contained in this Convertible Senior Note.

terms is subordinated to the Convertible Senior Notes, or (vi) any "other

thereof to accelerate the indebtedness due thereunder. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the entire principal and any accrued interest due hereunder
shall accelerate and become immediately due and payable without presentation,
demand, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived by USA, and Lender shall thereupon have all rights and remedies
provided hereunder or otherwise available at law or in equity. The period of
time commencing from the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default until the
date such default is cured shall be referred to as the "Default Period". During

         7. CONVERSION RIGHTS.

                  A. CONVERSION. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
holder hereof may convert all or any portion of the principal amount hereof at
any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, into fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 7.F. hereof ("Conversion Rights"). The number of shares of Common Stock
to be issued upon any such conversion shall be determined by dividing the
principal amount of this Convertible Senior Note to be converted by the
Conversion Price (as defined herein).

                  B. CONVERSION PRICE. The Conversion Rights shall be exercised
by delivery to USA (prior to the Maturity Date) of this Certificate and the
completed Election To Convert Form which is attached hereto. The Conversion
Price shall be $.20 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 7.F. hereof ("Conversion Price").

                  C. EXERCISE. Upon the surrender of this Certificate and the
completed Election To Convert Form as aforesaid, USA shall issue and cause to be
delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the
registered holder of this Convertible Senior Note, a certificate or certificates
for the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of
the Conversion Rights. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have
been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on and as of the date of the
delivery to USA of this Certificate and the completed Election To Convert Form
as aforesaid. If, however, at the date of surrender of this Certificate and the

<PAGE>

completed Election To Convert Form, the transfer books for the Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Conversion Rights shall be closed, the
certificates for the Common Stock in respect to which any such Conversion Rights
are then exercised shall be issued and the owner of such Common Stock shall
become a record owner of such Common Stock on and as of the next date on which
such books shall be opened, and until such date USA shall be under no duty to
deliver any certificate for such Common Stock.

                  D. PARTIAL CONVERSION. The Conversion Rights represented by
the Convertible Senior Note shall be exercisable, at the election of the
registered holder hereof, either as an entirety, or from time to time for any
part of the outstanding principal amount of this Convertible Senior Note, and in
the event that the Conversion Rights are exercised with respect to less than the
entire then outstanding principal amount of this Convertible Senior Note, at any
time prior to the Maturity Date, a new certificate will be issued to such
registered holder in the remaining principal amount of this Convertible Senior
Note.

                  E. MATURITY DATE. All of the Conversion Rights must be
exercised in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Maturity Date. At and
after the Maturity Date any and all unexercised rights hereunder shall expire
and all such unexercised Conversion Rights shall without any action on behalf of
USA become null and void. USA shall not be required to provide notice to the
holder hereof of the expiration of the Conversion Rights hereunder, and the
Conversion Rights shall automatically expire without any required prior notice
from USA.

                  F. ADJUSTMENTS. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this
subsection F, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time only as set forth hereinafter:

                           i. In case USA shall declare a Common Stock dividend
on the  Common  Stock,  then  the  Conversion  Price  shall  be  proportionately
decreased as of the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock
dividend in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                           ii. If USA shall at any time subdivide its
outstanding  Common  Stock by  recapitalization,  reclassification  or  split-up
thereof,  the Conversion Price  immediately  prior to such subdivision  shall be
proportionately decreased, and, if USA shall at any time combine the outstanding
shares of Common  Stock by  recapitalization,  reclassification,  reverse  stock
split, or combination  thereof,  the Conversion Price  immediately prior to such
combination  shall be  proportionately  increased.  Any such  adjustment  to the
Conversion  Price shall become  effective at the close of business on the record
date  for  such  subdivision  or  combination.  The  Conversion  Price  shall be
proportionately  increased or  decreased,  as the case may be, in  proportion to
such increase or decrease,  as the case may be, of outstanding  shares of Common
Stock.

<PAGE>

                           iii. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as
herein provided, USA shall promptly
mail to the registered holder of this Convertible Senior Note a statement signed
by an officer of USA setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price, determined as
so provided.

                           iv. This form of Certificate need not be changed
because of any adjustment which
is required pursuant to this Section F. However, USA may at any time in its sole
discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this
Certificate that USA may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance
hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or
substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so
changed.

                  G. RESERVATION. There has been reserved, and USA shall at all
times keep reserved out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, a
number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the
Conversion Rights represented by this Convertible Senior Note. USA agrees that
all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Convertible Senior Note
shall be, at the time of delivery of the Certificates for such Common Stock,
validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.

                  H. FRACTIONAL SHARES. USA shall not issue any fractional
shares of Common Stock pursuant to any conversion of this Convertible Senior
Note and shall pay cash to the holder of this Convertible Senior Note in lieu of
any such fractional shares.

         8. NO RIGHT. The holder of this Convertible Senior Note shall not be
entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder of USA prior to the date of
issuance of the Common Stock by USA pursuant to any conversion of this
Convertible Senior Note.

         9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. As set forth above, neither this Convertible
Senior Note nor the Common Stock into which this Convertible Senior Note is
convertible shall be registered under the Act or any state securities laws, and
shall constitute restricted securities as defined under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly following the termination
of the private placement offering by USA of the 12% Convertible Senior Notes of
which this Convertible Senior Note is a part, USA shall, at its expense, file
and use its best efforts to have declared effective, a registration statement
under the Act covering the resale of the Common Stock underlying this
Convertible Senior Note. USA shall use its best efforts to have the resale of
the Common Stock by non-affiliates of USA exempted from the registration

addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such
legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be
required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be
reasonably required by USA or its transfer agent.

personal jurisdiction of such Courts in any such action or proceeding and waives
any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding based upon any alleged
lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens.

         13. WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender to insist on
strict performance of USA`s obligations hereunder or to exercise any remedy
shall constitute a waiver of the Lender`s rights in that or any other instance.
No waiver of any of the Lender`s rights shall be effective unless in writing,

or enforceability of the remainder hereof.

Note would otherwise violate any applicable usury law, then the interest rate
shall be reduced to the maximum permissible rate and any payment received by the
Lender in excess of the maximum permissible rate shall be treated as a
prepayment of the principal of this Convertible Senior Note.

         17. EXPENSES. USA agrees to reimburse Lender for all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys` fees, incurred by the Lender, relating
to the enforcement of this Convertible Senior Note.
