option, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, into fully paid, validly

from time to time that this Note is outstanding. If this Note is converted in
part, the remaining portion of this Note not so converted shall remain entitled
to the conversion and other rights provided herein.

                              ---------------------
                                Conversion Price

                  P = Outstanding Principal Amount submitted for conversion plus
accrued but unpaid interest thereon (which shall include any capitalized
interest).

                  (c) Anti-Dilution. In order to prevent dilution of the rights
granted under this Note, the Conversion Price and the Closing Bid Prices for any
days during any measuring period prior to any of the events set forth below (the
"Adjusting Closing Bid Prices") will be subject to adjustment from time to time
as provided in this Section 3(c):

                        (i) Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall
declare or pay to the holders of the Common Stock a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or any other security convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the Holder of the Note
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock, as applicable, which such Holder would have owned or
been entitled to receive after the declaration and payment of such dividend or
other distribution as if the Note had been converted immediately prior to the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution.

                        (ii) Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall
subdivide (by means of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock, or combine (by means of any combination, reverse stock
split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number
of shares, or issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of
the Company, the Conversion Price and the Adjusting Closing Bid Prices in effect
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall receive the
number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would have owned or been
entitled to receive after the happening of any and each of the events described
above if the Note had been converted immediately prior to the happening of each
such event on the day upon which such subdivision or combination, as the case
may be, becomes effective.

                        (iii) Organic Changes. In case the Company shall effect
an Organic Change, then the Holder shall be given a written notice from the
Company informing such Holder of the terms of such Organic Change and of the
record date thereof for any distribution pursuant thereto, at least twenty (20)
days in advance of such record date, and, if such record date shall precede the
Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
conversion of the Note, the number of shares of stock or other securities,
property or assets of the Company, or of its successor or transferee or any
affiliate thereof, or cash receivable upon or as a result of such Organic

                                       9
<PAGE>

Change that would have been received by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of shares the Holder would have received had
such Holder converted the Note prior to such event at the Conversion Price
immediately prior to such event. In any such case, the Company will make
appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder) with respect to such Holders' rights and interests to insure that the
provisions of this Section 3(c)(iii) will thereafter be applicable to the Note
(including, in the case of any such Organic Change in which the successor entity
or purchasing entity is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment of the
Conversion Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of
such Organic Change, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such Organic Change). The Company will not effect
any such Organic Change unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor
entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such Organic Change assumes,
by written instrument (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder), the
obligation to deliver to Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as,
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to
acquire. The provisions of this subparagraph (iii) shall similarly apply to
successive Organic Changes.

                        (iv) Adjustment upon Issuance of Options and Convertible
Securities. If the Company in any manner grants any rights or options to
subscribe for or to purchase one or more classes of its Common Stock (other than
pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan or upon conversion of the Notes) or any stock
or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such
rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or
exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities")
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (the
"New Option Issuance Price") is less than the Average Market Price immediately
prior to such time, then, from and after the time of such issue or sale, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced, if necessary, so that it shall not exceed the
New Option Issuance Price. For purposes of this Section 3(c)(iv), the New Option
Issuance Price shall mean the amount determined by dividing (A) the total
amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus
in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company
upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

                                       10
<PAGE>

                        (v) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for any class of Common Stock change at any time, the Conversion
Price at the time of such change shall be readjusted, effective on and after the
date of such change, to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect on
the date of such change had such Options or Convertible Securities still
outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration
or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment
would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

                        (vi) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In
case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall
issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of
Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), (iv) or (v)),
without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Average
Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then, and in
each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, to a price determined by
multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction

                              (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received by the Company for the total number of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at the Market Price, and

                              (B) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale,
provided that, for the purposes of this Section 3(c)(vi), immediately after any
Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to
Section 3(c)(ii), (iv) or (v), such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be outstanding, and (y) treasury shares of Common Stock shall not be
deemed to be outstanding.

                        (vii) Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall
occur as to which the provisions of this Section 3(c) are not strictly
applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the conversion
rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of
this Section 3(c), then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the
Company shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in
accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to preserve, without
dilution, the conversion rights represented by this Note.

                        (viii) No Dilution or Impairment. The Company shall not,
by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any Organic Change
or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all

                                       11
<PAGE>

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 dilution or
other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
(i) shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock, free from all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances,
preemptive rights and charges on the conversion of this Note from time to time
outstanding, (ii) shall not take any action which results in any adjustment of
the Conversion Price or the Adjusting Closing Bid Prices if the total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the conversion of this
Note would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by
the Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of
issue upon such exercise, (iii) shall not permit the par value of any shares of
stock receivable upon the conversion of this Note to exceed the amount payable
therefor upon such exercise, and (iv) shall not issue any capital stock of any
class which, as to the Holders, is preferred as to dividends or as to the
distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, unless the rights of the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed
sum or percentage of par value or a sum determined by reference to a formula
based on a published index of interest rates, an interest rate publicly
announced by a financial institution or a similar indicator of interest rates in
respect of participation in dividends and to a fixed sum or percentage of par
value in any such distribution of assets.

                        (ix) Notices.

                              (A) Immediately upon any adjustment pursuant
hereto of the Conversion Price or the Adjusting Closing Bid Prices, the Company
will give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in reasonable
detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

                              (B) The Company will give written notice to the
Holder at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, or (II) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation; provided that in no event shall
such notice be provided to the Holder prior to such information being made known
to the public.

                              (C) The Company will also give written notice to
the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place.

                        (x) Further Adjustments. Successive adjustments in the
Conversion Price and Adjusting Closing Bid Prices shall be made whenever any
event specified above shall occur. All calculations under this Section 3(c)
shall be made to the nearest cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price or the
Adjusting Closing Bid Prices shall be made if the amount of such adjustment
would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an
adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at

                                       12
<PAGE>

the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with
such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate
$0.01 or more.

                  (d) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to the Company's
inability to fully satisfy its obligations under a Conversion Notice as provided
for in Section 6 below:

                        (i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. To convert the Note
into full shares of Common Stock on any date (the "Conversion Date"), the Holder
shall (A) deliver or transmit by facsimile, for receipt on or prior to 11:59
p.m., Eastern Time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice"), to the
Company or its designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") to the effect
that the Holder elects to convert a specified amount of the Outstanding
Principal Amount of this Note (plus accrued interest) and (B) surrender to a
common carrier for delivery to the Company or the Transfer Agent as soon as
practicable following such date, the originally executed Conversion Notice.

                        (ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of
a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately send, via
facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder.
Upon receipt by the Company or the Transfer Agent of the originally executed
Conversion Notice, the Company or the Transfer Agent (as applicable) shall, on
the next Business Day following the date of receipt (or the second Business Day
following the date of receipt if received after 11:00 a.m. local time of the
Company or Transfer Agent, as applicable), (A) issue and surrender to a common
carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion
Notice, a certificate(s), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled,
(B) credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The
Depository Trust Company or (C) if the Holder requests, issue shares in
electronic format (e.g. via DWAC).

                        (iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to
the determination of the Conversion Price, the Company shall promptly issue to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via
facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion
Notice. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
determination of the Conversion Price within one (1) Business Day of such
disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder,
then the Company shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile the
disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable
accounting firm of national standing acceptable to the Company and the Holder.
The Company shall cause such accounting firm to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than
forty-eight (48) hours

                                       13
<PAGE>

from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
accounting firm's determination shall be binding upon all parties absent
manifest error. If as a result of such determination by the accounting firm the
Company is required to issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Holder,
the Company shall on the next Business Day following the date such determination
is made, issue such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the options set
forth in the last sentence of Section 3(d)(ii) above.

                        (iv) Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Note shall
be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date.

                        (v) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company
shall fail (other than as a result of the situations described in Section 6(a)
with respect to which the Holder has elected, and the Company has satisfied its
obligations under, one of the options set forth in subparagraphs (i) through
(iv) of Section 6(a)) to issue to the Holder on a timely basis as described in
this Section 3(d), a certificate(s) for the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion of the Note
as reflected in the applicable Conversion Notice, the Company shall pay damages
to the Holder equal to the greater of (A) actual damages incurred by the Holder
as a result of the Holder's needing to "buy in" shares of Common Stock to the
extent necessary to satisfy its securities delivery requirements ("Buy In Actual
Damages") and (B) if the Company fails to deliver such certificates within five
days after the last possible date which the Company could have issued such
Common Stock to the Holder without violating this Section 3(d), on each date
such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to 1% of the product
of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely
basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Closing Bid Price of the
Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have issued such
Common Stock to the Holder without violating this Section 3(d).

                  (e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any
fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. All shares of Common
Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon any conversion shall be
rounded up or down, whichever is closest, to the nearest whole share.

                  (f) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may
be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock
upon any conversion.

            4. [Intentionally Left Blank.]

            5. Acceleration Provisions.

                  (a) Acceleration Upon Major Transaction. In addition to all
other rights of the Holder contained herein (including, without limitation, the
provisions

                                       14
<PAGE>

of Section 3), after a Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right, at
the Holder's option, to require that the Company prepay the then Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Note in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 125% of
the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note on the date the Major Transaction
was consummated and (ii) the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock
that would be issued upon conversion of this Note in accordance with Section
3(b) hereof provided that the applicable Conversion Price shall be the lower of
(I) the Conversion Price on the date the Major Transaction was announced and
(II) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect and (B) the Market
Price ("Major Transaction Acceleration Price"). The provisions of this Section
5(a) shall not be deemed to restrict the ability of the Holder to convert the
Note pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 at any time and from time to time
before the consummation of a Major Transaction.

                  (b) Acceleration Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to
all other rights of the Holder contained herein (including, without limitation,
the provisions of Section 3), after a Triggering Event, the Holder shall have
the right, at the Holder's option, to declare all or a portion of the
Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note to be due and payable at a price equal
to the greater of (i) 125% of the Outstanding Principal Amount on the date the
Triggering Event occurred and (ii) the product of (A) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock for which the amount of the Note being converted would be
converted into as of the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event on
which the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded is open
multiplied by (B) the greater of (x) the Conversion Price calculated as if the
Conversion Date were the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and
(y) the Market Price of the Common Stock on such date ("Triggering Event
Acceleration Price" and, collectively with "Major Transaction Acceleration
Price," the "Acceleration Price"). The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not
be deemed to restrict the ability of the Holder to convert the Note pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3 at any time and from time before the Holder receives
the Triggering Event Acceleration Price.

                  (c) "Major Transaction". A "Major Transaction" shall be deemed
to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

                        (i) the consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another Person (other than pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely
for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or
pursuant to a merger after which the holders of the Company's outstanding
capital stock immediately prior to the merger own a number of shares of the
resulting company's outstanding capital stock sufficient to elect a majority of
the resulting company's board of directors);

                        (ii) the sale, transfer, lease, disposal or abandonment
of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) substantially all
of the Company's assets (other than a sale or transfer to an entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Company); or

                                       15
<PAGE>

                        (iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer for more than
50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is made and accepted by the
holders thereof.

                  (d) "Triggering Event". A "Triggering Event" shall be deemed
to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

                        (i) notice from the Company that Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Note (the "Conversion Shares") or the Warrants
(the "Warrant Shares") cannot be sold under the Registration Statement covering
such Common Stock (the "Suspension Period"), for any period of ten (10)
consecutive trading days or any twenty (20) non-consecutive trading days during
any period of 180 consecutive days that is (A) after the date the Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and (B) prior to the time that
the Conversion Shares may be sold without limitation in accordance with Rule
144(k) under the Securities Act; provided that any demand for acceleration under
this Section 5(d)(i) must be made by the Holder within 15 days after receipt of
notice from the Company of the termination of the Suspension Period; and,
provided further that if the aggregate number of days in all Suspension Periods
(the "Suspension Days") is equal to or greater than forty-five (45) days, then
the Maturity Date may, at the option of the Holder, be extended by the aggregate
number of Suspension Days;

                        (ii) the failure of the Common Stock, Conversion Shares,
or Warrant Shares to be listed on the American Stock Exchange, the New York
Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System for a period of fifteen (15)
days during any period of twelve (12) months (the "Delisting Period") (i)
provided, however, that any demand for acceleration under this Section 5(d)(ii)
must be made by the Holder within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of
Triggering Event (as defined in Section 5(f)); or

                        (iii) the Company's notice to the Holder, including by
way of public announcement, at any time, of its intention not to comply with
proper requests for conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants into
shares of Common Stock, including due to any of the reasons set forth in Section
6(a) below, except in any case in which the basis for such intention by the
Company is a bona fide dispute as to the right of the Holder to such conversion.

                  (e) Mechanics of Acceleration at Option of Holder Upon Major
Transaction. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior
to the consummation of a Major Transaction, but not prior to the public
announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice
thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Major Transaction") to
the Holder. After receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction, the Holder may
require the Company to prepay the Note in accordance with Sections 5(a) and 5(c)
hereof by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier
("Notice of Acceleration at Option of Holder Upon Major

                                       16
<PAGE>

Transaction") to the Company, which Notice of Acceleration at Option of Holder
Upon Major Transaction shall indicate the applicable Acceleration Price, as
calculated pursuant to Section 5(a) above.

                  (f) Mechanics of Acceleration at Option of Holder Upon
Triggering Event. Within one (1) day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight
courier ("Notice of Triggering Event") to the Holder. After receipt of a Notice
of Triggering Event, the Holder may require the Company to prepay the Note in
accordance with Sections 5(b) and 5(d) hereof by delivering written notice
thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Acceleration at Option
of Holder Upon Triggering Event") to the Company, which Notice of Acceleration
at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall indicate the applicable
Acceleration Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 5(b) above.

                  (g) Payment of Acceleration Price. Upon the Company's receipt
of a Notice of Acceleration at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or a
Notice of Acceleration at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction from the
Holder, the Company shall immediately notify the Holder by facsimile of the
mechanics of the delivery of the Holder's Note. The Company shall deliver the
applicable Acceleration Price to the Holder within the earlier of (i) twenty
(20) days after the Company's delivery of a Notice of Major Transaction or the
Company's receipt of the applicable notice to affect an acceleration, and (ii)
the closing of the Major Transaction upon which such Notice of Major Transaction
was predicated. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the
arithmetic calculation of the Acceleration Price, such dispute shall be resolved
pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) above. Promptly after receipt of the applicable
Acceleration Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the
Holder shall deliver the Note to the Company or its Transfer Agent. Payments
provided for in this Section 5 shall have priority to payments to other
stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.

            6. Inability to Fully Convert Note.

                  (a) Holder's Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon
the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of
Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement for any
reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (x) does not have a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (y) is
otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any
stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory
organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities, including
without limitation the NASDAQ, from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to
be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (z) fails to have a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the
Registration Statement, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common
Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder's Conversion Notice
and pursuant to Section 3(d) above and, with respect to the unconverted portion
of the Note, the Holder,

                                       17
<PAGE>

solely at its option, can elect to (unless the Company issues and delivers the
Conversion Shares underlying the unconverted portion of the Note prior to the
Holder's election hereunder, in which case the Holder shall only be entitled to
receive Buy In Actual Damages under Section 3(d)(v)):

                        (i) require the Company to pay the Holder for the
portion of Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus accrued interest
thereon for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with
the Holder's Conversion Notice ("Mandatory Payment") in an amount (the
"Mandatory Payment Price") equal to the Triggering Event Acceleration Price as
of such Conversion Date;

                        (ii) if the Company's inability to fully convert the
Note is pursuant to Section 6(a)(z) above, require the Company to issue
restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Holder's Conversion
Notice and pursuant to Section 3(d) above;

                        (iii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have
returned, as the case may be, the nonconverted portion of the Note that was to
be converted pursuant to the Holder's Conversion Notice; or

                        (iv) if the Company's inability to fully convert the
Note is pursuant to the NASDAQ rules and regulations described in Section
6(a)(y) above, require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the Holder's Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 3(d) above at a
Conversion Price in cash equal to the Average Market Price of the Common Stock
on the date preceding the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert.

                  (b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder's Election. The Company
shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile
copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as
described in Section 6(a) above, a notice of the Company's inability to fully
satisfy the Holder's Conversion Notice (the "Inability to Fully Convert
Notice"). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason
why the Company is unable to fully satisfy the Holder's Conversion Notice, (ii)
the portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus accrued
interest thereon which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory
Payment Price. The Holder must within five (5) Business Days after receipt of
such Inability to Fully Convert Notice deliver written notice via facsimile to
the Company ("Notice in Response to Inability to Convert") of its election
pursuant to Section 6(a) above.

                  (c) Payment. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note
prepaid pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Mandatory
Payment Price in immediately available funds to the Holder within ten (10) days
of the Company's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability to
Convert. If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Payment Price
to the Holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 6(c) (other than
pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of

                                       18
<PAGE>

the arithmetic calculation of the Acceleration Price), in addition to any remedy
the Holder may have under this Note, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at
the Default Rate until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Payment Price is
paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may void the request for the Mandatory
Payment with respect to the portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory
Payment Price has not been paid and in no event shall such voidance be deemed
forgiveness of any amounts due under this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Company fails to pay the applicable Mandatory Payment Price within such
ten (10) day time period due to a dispute as to the determination of the
arithmetic calculation of the Acceleration Price, such dispute shall be resolved
pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) above.

                  (d) Pro-rata Conversion and Acceleration. In the event the
Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder on the same day
and the Company can convert and redeem some, but not all, of the Notes pursuant
to this Section 6, the Company shall convert and purchase from each Holder
electing to have such Note converted and purchased at such time an amount equal
to such Holder's pro-rata amount (based on the Outstanding Principal Amount of
the Note held by such Holder relative to aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount
of Notes outstanding) of all Notes being converted and redeemed at such time.

            7. Representations and Warranties.

                  (a) The Company represents and warrants as follows: (i) the
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing

of the Company for the period ended on the date thereof, all in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and since the
date thereof there has been no material adverse change in the operations,
business, property, assets or condition of the Company; (viii) there is no

Securities and Exchange Commission; and (x) after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Note and the other Documents, the Company is,
individually and with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, Solvent.

                  (b) Each of the representations and warranties made by the
Company in the Purchase Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, without
regard to any amendment, modification or waiver of such provisions, is true and
correct on the date hereof as if made on the date hereof (except for those
representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), which
representations and warranties (together with all related definitions and
ancillary provisions) are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth
herein in their entirety, provided, that: (i) references to "this Agreement",
"herein", "hereunder", and words of similar import shall mean and be a reference
to this Note; (ii) references to an "Exhibit" and "Schedule" shall mean and be a
reference to the applicable Exhibit and Schedule to the Purchase Agreement (as

action which would impair the rights and privileges of the Note set forth herein
or the Holder.

            11. Limitation on Number of Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding any

entitled to convert this Note such that upon giving effect to such conversion,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the
Holder and its "affiliates" as defined in Rule 144 of the Act would exceed 9.99%
of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such
conversion; provided, however, that Holder may elect to waive this restriction

Company that its Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a replacement Note
identical in all respects to the original Note (except for registration number
and Outstanding Principal Amount, if different than that shown on the original
Note) shall be issued by the Company to the Holder, provided that the Holder
executes and delivers to the Company an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with
such Note, but in no event shall the aggregate amount of such indemnification
exceed the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note.

thereby, except for damages, losses, liabilities or expenses arising from
Holder's acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the
Company under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of this Note.

            16. Restriction on Cash Dividends With Respect to Common Stock.
Until the Note has been converted or redeemed in its entirety as provided
herein, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any cash

Holder for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes

paragraph) paid by the Holder and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, upon written demand by
the Holder therefor.

delay in exercising, any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof by
the Holder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power, privilege or remedy of the Holder. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Note, nor consent to any departure by the Company
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Holder, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

                  (c) Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the
