            (a) The Company  shall use its  reasonable  efforts in good faith to
take such  corporate and other action as may be required to authorize and permit
the issuance and delivery of the Conversion  Stock upon prepayment or conversion
of this Note in accordance with its terms,  including,  without limitation,  the
amendment of the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation.  Holder shall have the

any or all of the  unconverted  portion  of  the  principal  amount  hereof  and
unconverted  portion  of unpaid  principal  interest.  All  accrued  and  unpaid
interest at the Maturity Date on the principal  amount being  converted shall be
paid, at the election of the Company,  either in cash or in shares of Conversion
Stock  equal to the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  (A) the unpaid  principal
interest by (B) the Conversion Price, as last adjusted and then in effect.

            (d) As promptly as  practicable  after the conversion of any portion
of this Note into Conversion  Stock under paragraph (b) above, the Company shall
issue and  deliver  to or upon the  written  order of the  Holder,  to the place
designated by the Holder,  a certificate or certificates  for the number of full
shares of  Conversion  Stock to which the Holder is entitled,  and a cash amount
equal to (i) any fractional interest in a share of Conversion Stock equal to the
product of the Conversion Price, as last adjusted and then in effect, multiplied
by such fractional  interest plus (ii) the unconverted  portion of the principal
amount  hereof as of the  Maturity  Date,  if any,  plus  (iii) the  unconverted
portion  of unpaid  principal  interest,  if any.  The  person in whose name the
certificate  or  certificates  for  Conversion  Stock are to be issued  shall be
deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the applicable Conversion Date.
Upon conversion of only a portion of this Note  surrendered for conversion,  the
Company shall issue and deliver to or upon the written  order of the Holder,  at
the expense of the Company,  a new Note representing the unconverted  portion of
the principal amount hereof.

            (e) In the event of any capital  reorganization of the Company,  any
reclassification of the stock of the Company, any stock dividend or subdivision,
split-up  or  combination  of  shares,  or any  consolidation  or  merger of the
Company,  this Note shall  thereafter be convertible into the kind and number of
shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the company
resulting from such  consolidation  or surviving such merger to which the holder
of the number of shares of Conversion Stock  deliverable  (immediately  prior to
