        2.    Exercise.    

        2.1    Method of Exercise.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, the Holder may exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on any business day before the Expiration Date, for up to that number of shares of Warrant Stock that is obtained by dividing
(a) the Purchase Amount by (b) the then effective Warrant Price, by surrendering this Warrant at the principal offices of the Company, with the subscription form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder, and payment of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased by the Holder by (ii) the Warrant
Price or adjusted Warrant Price therefor, if applicable, as determined in accordance with the terms hereof. 

        2.2    Form of Payment.    Payment may be made by (i) a check payable to the Company's order, (ii) wire

share, calculated on the basis of the Warrant Price. 

2

 

        2.5    Restrictions on Exercise.    This Warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Warrant Stock upon such
exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute the
subscription form attached hereto, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of
this date of exercise. 

        2.6    Net Issue Election.    The Holder may elect to convert this Warrant, without the payment by the Holder of any
additional consideration, into shares of Warrant Stock having a value equal to the Purchase Amount or any portion thereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net
issue election selected in the subscription form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder, at the principal offices of the Company. Thereupon, the Company will issue to the Holder such number of
shares of Warrant Stock as is computed using the following formula: 

	

X	

=	

 Y (A-B) 

A

	 	 	where	 	X = the number of shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2.6.
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

Y = the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6.
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

A = the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors, as at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6.
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

B = the Warrant Price in effect at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6.

        The
Company's Board of Directors will promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock. 

        3.    Issuance of Stock.    

        3.1  This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the
person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. In
the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall promptly following the date of its receipt of the
exercise notice, the Purchase Amount (or notice of a Net Exercise) and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking or other form of security reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to
this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), (1) in the case of a public resale of such
Warrant Stock, at the holder's request, credit such aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder's or its designee's balance account with the
Depositary Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (2) issue and deliver to the address as specified in
the exercise notice, a certificate or certificates in such denominations as may be requested by the holder in the exercise notice, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number
of shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder shall be entitled upon such exercise. Upon delivery of the exercise notice, this Warrant and Purchase Amount or notification to the Company of a Net
Exercise, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Stock. 

        3.2  In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Warrant Stock, the Company shall promptly
issue to the 

3

 

holder the number of shares of Warrant Stock that is not disputed and shall promptly submit the disputed determination or arithmetic calculation to the holder via facsimile. If the holder and the
Company are unable to promptly agree upon the determination of the Warrant Price or arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Warrant Stock, then the Company shall immediately submit via
facsimile (x) the disputed determination of the Warrant Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm selected jointly by the Company and the holder, or (y) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Warrant Stock to its independent, outside auditor. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the auditor, as the case may be, to promptly
perform the determination or calculation and notify the Company and the holder of the results. Such investment banking firm's or auditor's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be
deemed conclusive absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of such determinations shall be borne solely by the Company. 

        4.    Adjustment Provisions.    The number and character of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Warrant Price
therefor, are subject to adjustment solely upon the occurrence of the following events: 

        4.1    Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc.    The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of
shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or other
similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities) that occurs after the date of the Warrant. 

        4.2    Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions.    In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a
record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable respect to the Warrant Stock that is payable in securities of the Company (other
than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Section 4.1), then, and in each such case,
the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such
exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior
thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant). 

        4.3    Adjustment for Reorganization or Recapitalization.    After the date of this Warrant, in case of any
reorganization or recapitalization of the Company (or of any other corporation, the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant), other than
transactions described in Section 1.2 above, then the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 2), at any time after the consummation of such reorganization or
recapitalization, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other
securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization or recapitalization if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto,
all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4, and the successor or purchasing corporation in such reorganization or recapitalization (if other than the Company) shall duly
execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation's obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the
shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization or recapitalization. 

        4.4    Conversion of Stock.    In case all the authorized Warrant Stock of the Company is converted, pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, into Common Stock or other securities or property, or the Warrant Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant
at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the "Termination Date"), shall receive, in lieu of the number
of shares 

4

 

of Warrant Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date (the "Former Number of Shares of Warrant
Stock"), the stock and other securities and property to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant
with respect to the Former Number of Shares of Warrant Stock immediately prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant). 

        4.5    Notice of Adjustments.    The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The notice shall describe the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable
detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based. 

        4.6    No Change Necessary.    The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant
Price or in the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon its exercise. 

        4.7    Reservation of Stock.    If at any time the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose. 

        5.    Covenants.    The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows: 

        5.1    Issuance of Warrants and Warrant Stock.    This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and shall
not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. All Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance and payment hereof or net exercise in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or
through the Company with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Warrant Stock. 

        5.2    Reservation of Shares.    During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of
(a) Common Stock needed to provide for the conversion of the Warrant Stock, and (b) Warrant Stock needed to provide for the exercise of all of the Warrants, without regard to any
limitations on conversions or exercise. 

        5.3    Listing.    The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Warrant Stock upon each national securities exchange or market and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed and shall maintain, so long
as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall list on each such
exchange or market or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if
and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such exchange or market or automated quotation system. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its
obligations under this Section 5.3. 

        5.4    Certain Actions.    The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation (the
"Charter") or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
(i) will not increase the par value of any shares of 

5

 

Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Price then in effect, (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Warrant
Stock then authorized by the Charter and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise. 

        5.5    Obligations Binding on Successors.    This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company in
one or a series of transactions by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other similar transactions. 

        6.    Taxes.    The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp,
transfer and other similar taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. 

        7.    Ownership and Transfer.    

        7.1  The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a
register for this Warrant (the "Warrant Register"), in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name this Warrant has
been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the Warrant Register as the owner and holder thereof for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. 

        7.2  Subject
to restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be assignable and transferable by
the holder hereof without the consent of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment at the principal executive offices of the Company (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate in writing to the holder hereof). 

        7.3  The
Company is obligated to register the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Stock for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Investors Rights
Agreement. The shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall constitute Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Investors Rights Agreement). Each holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such Registrable Securities under the Investors Rights Agreement and such holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, agrees
and shall agree to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Investors Rights Agreement applicable to such holder as a holder of such Registrable Securities. 

        8.    Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.    If
any of the following events occur, namely (a) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (b) any statutory exchange, as a result of which holders of Common
Stock generally shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (such transaction, a
"Statutory Exchange"), (c) the closing of any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another person as a result of which
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (other than as a result of a
change in name, a change in par value or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation), (d) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or
(e) the closing of any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person (each of the events described in the foregoing
clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), a "Special Event"), as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Warrant shall be deemed exercised 

6

 

immediately prior to such Special Event, and such shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed converted to Common Stock immediately prior to such Special Event. 

        9.    Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.    In case: 

        (a)  the
Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; 

        (b)  the
Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights
or warrants; or 

        (c)  of
any Special Event; 

        the
Company shall mail to each holder of Warrants at its address appearing on the Warrant Register as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) days prior to the
applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such Special
Event is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such Special Event. 

        10.    Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants.    If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking or other form of security reasonably acceptable to the Company (or in the case
of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Warrant is lost
by, stolen from or destroyed by the original holder
hereof, the affidavit of such original holder setting forth the circumstances of such loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence thereof, and no indemnification bond or
other security shall be required by the Company as a condition to the execution and delivery by the Company of a new Warrant to such original holder other than such original holder's unsecured written
agreement to indemnify the Company solely for losses actually incurred by the Company as a direct consequence of the loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant. 

        11.    No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder.    This Warrant does
not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this
Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall cause the Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose. 

        12.    No Impairment.    The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against wrongful impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may duly and validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 

        13.    Attorneys' Fees.    In the event any party is required to
engage the services of any attorneys for the purpose of enforcing this Warrant, or any provision thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses and costs in
enforcing this Warrant, including attorneys' fees. 

        14.    Transfer.    Neither this Warrant nor any rights hereunder may
be assigned, conveyed or transferred, in whole or in part, without the Company's prior written consent, which the Company may withhold in its sole discretion. 

        15.    Governing Law.    This Warrant shall be governed in all
respects by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be 

7

 

performed entirely within California. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Northern District of California. 

        16.    Headings.    The headings and captions used in this Warrant are
used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant. All references in this Warrant to sections and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to
sections hereof and exhibits attached hereto, all of which exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference. 

        17.    Notices.    Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or
permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified or upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified at the address indicated for such party on Exhibit A to Purchase Agreement or, in the case of the
Company, at the principal offices of the Company, or at such other address as any party or the Company may designate by giving ten (10) days' advance written notice to all other parties. 

        18.    Amendment; Waiver.    Any term of this Warrant may be amended,
and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing at least a majority of the aggregate shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of all the Warrants at the time outstanding (and such majority shall include
Asia Pacific Growth Fund, III, L.P., Vertex Technology Fund (II) Ltd. and Vertex Technology Fund (III) Ltd.). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be
binding upon the Company, each holder of any Notes at the time outstanding, each future holder of such securities, and the Company. 

        19.    Severability.    If one or more provisions of this Warrant are
held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and
shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

        20.    Terms Binding.    By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder
accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

	$                        	 	 	 	Date: March 15, 2002

        FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, US SEARCH.com Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), promises to pay
to                        ., ("Holder"), the principal sum of
$                        with interest from the date hereof, at the rate of 8% per annum on the unpaid balance, until paid or
until default, both principal and interest being payable in lawful money of the
United States of America, at                        , or at such place as the Holder may designate in writing. 

        1.    Term.    Subject to Section 2 below, the principal and interest shall be due and payable as follows: 

	(a)
	The
entire unpaid principal and interest shall be due and payable on December 20, 2002 (the "Due Date") unless this Note has been converted into shares of the Borrower's Common
Stock in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof; and

	(b)
	Interest
shall be due and payable on the Due Date. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed in the
period of which such interest is payable. 

        2.    Conversion.    

	(a)
	Subject
to subsections (b) and (c) below, promptly following the date on which the Borrower shall have received approval (the "Approval") from its stockholders of the
financing transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement dated March 15, 2002, among the Borrower and the Purchasers named therein (the "Purchase Agreement") or such later date as the
conditions set forth in subsection (c) below are satisfied (the "Conversion Date"), all amounts of principal and accrued but unpaid interest under this Note shall be converted into shares of
the Borrower's Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Purchase Agreement. Upon such conversion, the Holder shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock calculated by
dividing the amount of principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under this Note by the lower of (A) $.85 (the "Initial Conversion Price") or (B) 90% of 

1 of 5

 

the
10-day average closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) for the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market prior to the date the Borrower receives approval from its stockholders
of the financing transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the "Approval Date "). 

	(b)
	If
this Note has not converted into shares of the Borrower's Common Stock pursuant to subsection (a) prior to the Due Date, then on the Due Date, all amounts of principal and
accrued but unpaid interest due under this Note shall become due and payable in full; provided, however, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) prior to the earlier of the
Conversion Date or the Due Date, the Holder shall have the option to (i) demand payment of principal and accrued but unpaid interest then outstanding under this Note, (ii) convert this
Note into shares of Common Stock as if an Approval had occurred on the business day that is prior to the date of closing of the Change of Control transaction or (iii) convert this Note into
shares of common stock of the acquiror, if such acquiror has common stock, at 90% of the fair market value for such shares, subject to written approval of acquiror. For purposes of this subsection
(c), a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur if (i) Borrower merges or consolidates with or into another entity such that the shareholders of Borrower prior to such transaction do not or
are not expected to own a majority of the voting stock of the surviving entity, (ii) Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iii) Borrower
liquidates.

	(c)
	Notwithstanding
anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary, this Note shall not be converted as provided in subsection (a) above until: (i) all securities
of Borrower listed in Exhibit A to this Note have been, or simultaneously with the conversion of this Note will be, converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such
securities; and (ii) a registration statement registering the offer and sale by Holder of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note has been declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and such registration statement is effective at the time of such conversion, unless in either case of (i) or (ii) above, a Majority of Purchasers waives in writing
such condition.

	(d)
	In
no case shall fractional shares be issued upon the conversion of this Note. If any conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share, the Borrower shall, in lieu of
issuing any fractional share, pay the Holder a sum in cash equal to the cash value of such fraction. 

        3.    Mechanics of Conversion.    

	(a)
	To
convert this Note pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Borrower shall give notice to the Holder as soon as practicable following the Conversion Date and shall state therein
the purchase price per share of the Common Stock. Promptly thereafter, the Holder (i) shall provide notice to the Borrower of the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued and (ii) shall surrender the Note to be converted, at the office of the Borrower, or at such other place designated by the Borrower. Such
conversion shall only occur, and shall be deemed to have been made, upon the Conversion Date. On or promptly after the date of conversion and subject to the Borrower having received the Note to be
converted, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. The
provisions of this Section 3(a) are subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof.

	(b)
	To
convert this Note pursuant to Section 2(b) above, the Borrower shall give notice to the Holder as soon as practicable prior to the consummation of a Change of Control. The
Holder shall notify the Borrower within 5 days thereafter whether or not the Holder is electing to convert the Note per the terms of Section 2(b) above. 

2 of 5

 

        4.    Adjustments to Initial Conversion Price.    If outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend or other distribution in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Initial Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend or other distribution be
proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Initial Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall,
simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. 

        5.    Default.    An event of default will occur upon any of the following: 

	(a)
	a
default when due of any payment of principal or interest hereof and such default is not cured within five business days;

	(b)
	Borrower
becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due; Borrower applies for a trustee, receiver or other
custodian for it or a substantial part of its property; a trustee, receiver or other custodian is appointed for Borrower or for a substantial part of its property; or any bankruptcy, reorganization,
debt arrangement, or other case of proceeding, is commenced in respect of Borrower;

	(c)
	a
material breach by Borrower of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made herein or in the Purchase Agreement; or

	(d)
	any
event or condition shall occur which results in the acceleration of the maturity of any debt of the Borrower in excess of $250,000; 

        which,
after written notice from the Holder, is not cured within 15 business days (other than those events described in clause (a) above); then, upon the occurrence of any such
event, the Holder may, without notice, declare the unpaid principal and interest on this Note, at once due and payable, whereupon such principal, interest and other obligations shall become at once
due and payable. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any other time.
The principal of this Note and any part thereof, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum after default until paid. 

        6.    Waiver of Certain Rights.    All parties to this Note, including maker and any sureties, endorsers, or
guarantors hereby waive protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, and notice of acceleration of maturity and agree to continue to remain bound for the payment of principal, interest and all other sums
due under this Note notwithstanding any change or changes by way of release, surrender, exchange, modification or substitution of any security for this Note or by way of any extension or extensions of
time for the payment of principal and interest; and all such parties waive all and every kind of notice of such change or changes and agree that the same may be without notice or consent of any of
them. 

        7.    Enforcement.    Upon default the Holder may employ an attorney to enforce the Holder's rights and remedies and
the maker, principal, surety, guarantor and endorsers of this Note hereby agree to pay to the Holder reasonable attorneys' fees plus all other reasonable expenses incurred by the Holder in exercising
any of the Holder's rights and remedies upon default. The rights and remedies of the Holder as provided in this Note shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against
any other funds, property or security held by the Holder for payment or security, in the sole discretion of the holder. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall not be a waiver or
release of such rights or remedies or the right to exercise any of them at another time. 

3 of 5

 

        8.    No Shareholder Rights.    Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or any
other person (prior to conversion into Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 hereof) the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Borrower. 

        9.    Miscellaneous.    The following general provisions apply: 

	(a)
	All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

	(b)
	This
Note, and the obligations and rights of Borrower hereunder, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Holder, and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.

	(c)
	Recourse
under this Note shall be to the general unsecured assets of Borrower only and in no event to the officers, directors or shareholders of Borrower.

	(d)
	Changes
in or amendments or additions to this Note may be made, or compliance with any term, covenant, agreement, condition or provision set forth herein may be omitted or waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), upon written consent of Borrower and a Majority of Purchasers.

	(e)
	All
payments shall be made in such coin and currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender therein for the payment of public and private
debts.

	(f)
	All
notices, requests, consents and demands shall be made in writing and shall be mailed postage prepaid, or delivered by hand, to Borrower or to the Holder at their respective
