                        CALLABLE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

Clinton Township, Michigan
September 15, 2006                                                     $[_______]

         FOR   VALUE   RECEIVED,    MIDNIGHT   HOLDINGS   GROUP,    INC.,   a   Delaware
corporation   (hereinafter called the "BORROWER"),   hereby promises to pay to the
order of   [______________]   or   registered   assigns   (the   "HOLDER")   the sum of
$[_______],   on September 15, 2009 (the "MATURITY DATE"), and to pay interest on
the unpaid   principal   balance hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum
from   September   15,   2006 (the   "ISSUE   DATE")   until the same   becomes due and
payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise.
Any   amount of   principal   or   interest   on this Note which is not paid when due
shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen   percent (15%) per annum from the due
date   thereof   until   the   same is paid   ("DEFAULT   INTEREST").   Interest   shall
commence accruing on the issue date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day
year and the actual   number of days   elapsed and shall be payable,   quarterly on
March 31, June 30,   September 30 and   December 31 of each year   beginning on the
last day of the first full quarter after Issue Date.   All payments due hereunder
(to the extent not converted into common stock,   $.00005 par value per share, of
the Borrower (the "COMMON   STOCK") in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be
made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made
at such   address as the Holder shall   hereafter   give to the Borrower by written
notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note.   Whenever any amount
expressed   to be due by the   terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a
business day, the same shall instead be due on the next   succeeding day which is
a business   day and, in the case of any   interest   payment date which is not the
date on which this Note is paid in full,   the   extension of the due date thereof
shall not be taken   into   account   for   purposes   of   determining   the amount of
interest due on such date. As used in this Note,   the term   "business day" shall
mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in
the city of New York,   New York are   authorized   or required by law or executive
order to


<PAGE>

remain closed.   Each   capitalized term used herein,   and not otherwise   defined,
shall have the meaning   ascribed   thereto in that   certain   Securities   Purchase
Agreement,   dated September 15, 2006, pursuant to which this Note was originally
issued (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT").

         This Note is free from all taxes,   liens,   claims and encumbrances with
respect to the issue   thereof and shall not be subject to   preemptive   rights or
other   similar   rights   of   shareholders   of the   Borrower   and will not   impose
personal   liability   upon the holder   thereof.   The   obligations of the Borrower
under   this Note   shall be secured by that   certain   Security   Agreement   by and
between the Borrower and the Holder of even date herewith.

         The following terms shall apply to this Note:

                          ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

                  1.1   CONVERSION   RIGHT.   The Holder   shall have the right from
time to time,   and at any time on or prior to the   earlier   of (i) the   Maturity
Date and (ii) the date of payment of the   Default   Amount (as defined in Article
III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, the Optional   Prepayment   Amount
(as defined in Section 5.1) or (iii) any payments   pursuant to Section 1.7, each
in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert
all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into
fully paid and   non-assessable   shares of Common   Stock,   as such   Common   Stock
exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other   securities of
the   Borrower   into   which   such   Common   Stock   shall   hereafter   be changed or
reclassified   at the conversion   price (the   "CONVERSION   PRICE")   determined as
provided herein (a "CONVERSION");   PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the
Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion
of this Note   upon   conversion   of which the sum of (1) the   number of shares of
Common Stock   beneficially   owned by the Holder and its   affiliates   (other than
shares   of Common   Stock   which may be deemed   beneficially   owned   through   the
ownership   of the   unconverted   portion   of the   Notes   or   the   unexercised   or
unconverted   portion of any other security of the Borrower   (including,   without
limitation,   the   warrants   issued   by the   Borrower   pursuant   to the   Purchase
Agreement)   subject to a limitation on   conversion or exercise   analogous to the
limitations   contained   herein)   and (2) the   number of   shares of Common   Stock
issuable   upon the   conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which
the   determination   of this proviso is being made,   would   result in   beneficial
ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the   outstanding
shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence,   beneficial   ownership   shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,   and Regulations 13D-G
thereunder,   except as   otherwise   provided in clause (1) of such   proviso.   The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each   conversion of this Note
shall be determined by dividing the Conversion   Amount (as defined below) by the
applicable   Conversion   Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice
of   conversion,   in the form   attached   hereto   as   Exhibit   A (the   "NOTICE   OF
CONVERSION"), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section
1.4 below;   provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or
by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the
Borrower   before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the
"CONVERSION   DATE").   The term   "CONVERSION   AMOUNT" means,   with respect to any
conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal   amount of this Note to be
converted in such  


                                       2
<PAGE>

conversion   PLUS (2) accrued   and unpaid   interest,   if any,   on such   principal
amount at the interest rates   provided in this Note to the Conversion   Date PLUS
(3) Default   Interest,   if any, on the   amounts   referred to in the   immediately
preceding   clauses (1) and/or (2) PLUS (4) at the Holder's   option,   any amounts
owed to the Holder   pursuant   to Sections   1.3 and 1.4(g)   hereof or pursuant to
Section   2(c)   of   that   certain   Registration   Rights   Agreement,   dated   as of
September   15, 2006,   executed in connection   with the initial   issuance of this
Note and the other   Notes   issued on the Issue   Date (the   "REGISTRATION   RIGHTS
AGREEMENT").

                  1.2 CONVERSION PRICE.

                           (a) CALCULATION OF CONVERSION   PRICE.   The Conversion
Price   shall be the   lesser of (i) the   Variable   Conversion   Price (as   defined
herein) and (ii) the Fixed   Conversion   Price (as defined herein)   (subject,   in
each case, to equitable   adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights
offerings   by   the   Borrower   relating   to   the   Borrower's   securities   or   the
securities of any   subsidiary of the Borrower,   combinations,   recapitalization,
reclassifications,    extraordinary    distributions   and   similar   events).    The
"VARIABLE   CONVERSION   PRICE" shall mean the   Applicable   Percentage (as defined
herein) multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein). "MARKET PRICE" means
the average of the lowest   three (3) Trading   Prices (as defined   below) for the
Common Stock   during the twenty (20)   Trading Day period   ending one Trading Day
prior to the date the   Conversion   Notice is sent by the Holder to the   Borrower
via facsimile (the "CONVERSION   DATE").   "TRADING PRICE" means, for any security
as of any date,   the intraday   trading   price on the   Over-the-Counter   Bulletin
Board (the   "OTCBB")   as   reported   by a   reliable   reporting   service   mutually
acceptable to and   hereafter   designated by Holders of a majority in interest of
the Notes and the Borrower or, if the OTCBB is not the principal   trading market
for such security,   the intraday trading price of such security on the principal
securities   exchange or trading   market where such   security is listed or traded
or, if no intraday   trading   price of such   security is   available in any of the
foregoing   manners,   the average of the   intraday   trading   prices of any market
makers for such   security   that are listed in the "pink   sheets" by the National
Quotation   Bureau,   Inc.   If the Trading   Price   cannot be   calculated   for such
security on such date in the manner provided   above,   the Trading Price shall be
the fair market value as mutually   determined by the Borrower and the holders of
a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of
the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such
Notes.   "TRADING DAY" shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for
any   period on the   OTCBB,   or on the   principal   securities   exchange   or other
securities   market on which the Common Stock is then being   traded.   "APPLICABLE
PERCENTAGE" shall mean 25%; provided,   however,   that the Applicable   Percentage
shall be increased to (i) 30% in the event that the   Registration   Statement (as
defined in the Registration   Rights   Agreement) is filed on or before the Filing
Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and (ii) 40% in the event
that   the   Registration    Statement   (as   defined   in   the   Registration   Rights
Agreement) becomes effective on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement).

                            (b)   CONVERSION   PRICE   DURING   MAJOR   ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Notwithstanding   anything   contained in Section   1.2(a) to the contrary,   in the
event   the   Borrower   (i)   makes   a   public   announcement   that   it   intends   to
consolidate   or merge with any other   corporation   (other than a merger in which
the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is
unchanged)   or sell or transfer   all or   substantially   all of the assets of the
Borrower or (ii) any person,   group or entity (including the Borrower)   publicly


                                       3
<PAGE>

announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower's   Common Stock
(or any other   takeover   scheme)   (the date of the   announcement   referred to in
clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the "ANNOUNCEMENT   DATE"), then
the Conversion Price shall,   effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing
through the Adjusted   Conversion Price   Termination Date (as defined below),   be
equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion   Price which would have been applicable
for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price
that would otherwise be in effect.   From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price
Termination   Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this
Section 1.2(a).   For purposes hereof,   "ADJUSTED   CONVERSION   PRICE   TERMINATION
DATE" shall mean,   with respect to any proposed   transaction or tender offer (or
takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section
1.2(b) has been made,   the date upon which the   Borrower   (in the case of clause
(i) above) or the   person,   group or entity (in the case of clause   (ii)   above)
consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed
transaction   or tender   offer (or   takeover   scheme)   which   caused this Section
1.2(b) to become operative.

                  1.3   AUTHORIZED   SHARES.   Subject   to   the   completion   of the
Charter Amendment Actions (as defined in the Purchase   Agreement),   the Borrower
covenants that during the period the conversion right exists,   the Borrower will
reserve from its   authorized   and unissued   Common Stock a sufficient   number of
shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock
upon the full conversion of this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and
reserved   two times the number of shares   that is   actually   issuable   upon full
conversion   of the   Notes   (based   on the   Conversion   Price of the Notes or the
Exercise   Price of the   Warrants   in effect   from time to time)   (the   "RESERVED
AMOUNT"). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance
with   the   Borrower's   obligations   pursuant   to   Section   4(h) of the   Purchase
Agreement.   The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.   In addition, if the Borrower
shall issue any   securities   or make any change to its capital   structure   which
would   change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be
convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same
time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved,   free from preemptive rights,
for conversion of the outstanding   Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges   that it
has   irrevocably   instructed   its transfer agent to issue   certificates   for the
Common Stock   issuable upon   conversion   of this Note,   and (ii) agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents
who are charged with the duty of   executing   stock   certificates   to execute and
issue the necessary   certificates   for shares of Common Stock in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Note.

                  If,   at any time a Holder   of this   Note   submits   a Notice of
Conversion,   and the Borrower does not have   sufficient   authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock   available to effect such   conversion in accordance   with
the   provisions of this Article I (a "CONVERSION   DEFAULT"),   subject to Section
4.8,   the   Borrower   shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock
which are then   available   to effect such   conversion.   The portion of this Note
which the Holder included in its Conversion   Notice and which exceeds the amount
which is then   convertible   into   available   shares of Common Stock (the "EXCESS
AMOUNT") shall,   notwithstanding   anything to the contrary contained herein, not
be convertible   into Common


                                       4
<PAGE>

Stock in accordance   with the terms hereof until (and at the Holder's   option at
any time after) the date additional shares of Common Stock are authorized by the
Borrower   to permit   such   conversion,   at which   time the   Conversion   Price in
respect   thereof   shall   be   the   lesser   of (i)   the   Conversion   Price   on the
Conversion   Default Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Conversion Price on the
Conversion   Date   thereafter   elected   by the   Holder   in   respect   thereof.   In
addition,   the Borrower shall pay to the Holder   payments   ("CONVERSION   DEFAULT
PAYMENTS") for a Conversion Default in the amount of (x) the SUM OF (1) the then
outstanding   principal   amount of this Note PLUS (2) accrued and unpaid interest
on the unpaid principal amount of this Note through the   Authorization   Date (as
defined below) PLUS (3) Default Interest,   if any, on the amounts referred to in
clauses (1) and/or (2), MULTIPLIED BY (y) .24, MULTIPLIED BY (z) (N/365),   where
N = the   number of days from the day the holder   submits a Notice of   Conversion
giving rise to a Conversion Default (the "CONVERSION   DEFAULT DATE") to the date
(the   "AUTHORIZATION   DATE") that the Borrower authorizes a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to effect   conversion of the full   outstanding   principal
balance of this Note.   The   Borrower   shall use its best   efforts to authorize a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the
earlier   of (i) such time that the   Holder   notifies   the   Borrower   or that the
Borrower   otherwise   becomes aware that there are or likely will be insufficient
authorized   and   unissued   shares to allow full   conversion   thereof   and (ii) a
Conversion   Default.   The   Borrower   shall   send   notice   to the   Holder   of the
authorization of additional shares of Common Stock, the   Authorization   Date and
the   amount   of   Holder's   accrued   Conversion   Default   Payments.   The   accrued
Conversion   Default   Payments for each   calendar   month shall be paid in cash or
shall be   convertible   into Common   Stock (at such time as there are   sufficient
authorized   shares of Common Stock) at the applicable   Conversion   Price, at the
Borrower's option, as follows:

                           (a) In the   event   the   Borrower   elects to make such
payment in cash,   cash payment shall be made to Holder by the fifth (5th) day of
the month following the month in which it has accrued; and

                           (b) In the   event   the   Borrower   elects to make such
payment in Common Stock,   the Holder may convert such payment amount into Common
Stock at the   Conversion   Price (as in effect at the time of   conversion) at any
time   after   the   fifth   day of the   month   following   the month in which it has
accrued in accordance with the terms of this Article I (so long as there is then
a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock).

                  The Borrower's election shall be made in writing to the Holder
at any time prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the third day of the
month following the month in which Conversion Default payments have accrued.   If
no   election   is made,   the   Borrower   shall be deemed to have   elected to remit
Common   Stock.   Nothing   herein shall limit the Holder's   right to pursue actual
damages (to the extent in excess of the   Conversion   Default   Payments)   for the
Borrower's   failure to   maintain a   sufficient   number of   authorized   shares of
Common   Stock,   and each   holder   shall   have the right to pursue   all   remedies
available at law or in equity (including degree of specific   performance   and/or
injunctive relief).


                                       5

                  1.4 METHOD OF CONVERSION.

                           (a) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.   Subject to Section 1.1,
this Note may be   converted   by the   Holder in whole or in part at any time from
time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of
Conversion (by facsimile or other reasonable   means of communication   dispatched
on the   Conversion   Date   prior to 6:00 p.m.,   New York,   New York time) and (B)
subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the
Borrower.

                           (b)     SURRENDER     OF     NOTE     UPON     CONVERSION.
Notwithstanding   anything to the contrary set forth herein,   upon   conversion of
this Note in accordance with the terms hereof,   the Holder shall not be required
to   physically   surrender   this Note to the   Borrower   unless the entire   unpaid
principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall
maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such
conversions   or shall use such   other   method,   reasonably   satisfactory   to the
Holder and the Borrower,   so as not to require   physical   surrender of this Note
upon each such   conversion.   In the event of any   dispute or   discrepancy,   such
records of the Borrower shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of
manifest error.   Notwithstanding   the foregoing,   if any portion of this Note is
converted as aforesaid,   the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder
first   physically   surrenders this Note to the Borrower,   whereupon the Borrower
will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like
tenor,   registered as the Holder (upon   payment by the Holder of any   applicable
transfer taxes) may request,   representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid
principal   amount of this Note.   The Holder and any   assignee,   by acceptance of
this Note,   acknowledge   and agree   that,   by reason of the   provisions   of this
paragraph,   following   conversion   of a portion   of this   Note,   the   unpaid and
unconverted   principal   amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less
than the amount stated on the face hereof.

                           (c)   PAYMENT   OF   TAXES.   The   Borrower   shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue and   delivery   of shares   of Common   Stock or other   securities   or
property on   conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or
in street name),   and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any
such   shares or other   securities   or   property   unless   and until the person or
persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares
are to be held for the Holder's   account)   requesting the issuance thereof shall
have paid to the Borrower   the amount of any such tax or shall have   established
to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

                            (d)   DELIVERY OF COMMON STOCK UPON   CONVERSION.   Upon
receipt by the Borrower   from the Holder of a facsimile   transmission   (or other
reasonable   means   of   communication)   of a Notice   of   Conversion   meeting   the
requirements   for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall
issue and   deliver or cause to be issued and   delivered   to or upon the order of
the Holder   certificates   for the Common   Stock   issuable   upon such   conversion
within five (5)   business   days after such receipt   (and,   solely in the case of
conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note)
(such second   business day being   hereinafter   referred to as the "DEADLINE") in
accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement (including,   without
limitation,   in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(g) of the Purchase
Agreement   that   certificates   for shares of Common Stock issued on or after the


                                       6
<PAGE>

effective date of the Registration   Statement upon conversion of this Note shall
not bear any restrictive legend).

                           (e)   OBLIGATION OF BORROWER TO DELIVER   COMMON STOCK.
Upon   receipt by the   Borrower of a Notice of   Conversion,   the Holder   shall be
deemed   to be the   holder   of   record of the   Common   Stock   issuable   upon such
conversion,   the   outstanding   principal   amount and the   amount of accrued   and
unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such   conversion,   and,
unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights
with   respect to the   portion of this Note being so   converted   shall   forthwith
terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash
or other assets,   as herein provided,   on such   conversion.   If the Holder shall
have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower's   obligation
to issue and deliver the   certificates   for Common   Stock shall be absolute   and
unconditional,   irrespective   of the   absence   of any   action   by the   Holder to
enforce the same,   any waiver or consent with respect to any provision   thereof,
the   recovery   of any   judgment   against any person or any action to enforce the
same,   any failure or delay in the   enforcement   of any other   obligation of the
Borrower   to the   holder of record,   or any   setoff,   counterclaim,   recoupment,
limitation or termination,   or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any
obligation to the Borrower,   and   irrespective of any other   circumstance   which
might   otherwise   limit   such   obligation   of   the   Borrower   to the   Holder   in
connection with such conversion.   The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of
Conversion   shall be the Conversion   Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is
received by the   Borrower   before 6:00 p.m.,   New York,   New York time,   on such
date.

                           (f) DELIVERY OF COMMON STOCK BY ELECTRONIC   TRANSFER.
In lieu of   delivering   physical   certificates   representing   the   Common   Stock
issuable   upon    conversion,    provided   the    Borrower's    transfer    agent   is
participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated   Securities
Transfer   ("FAST")   program,   upon request of the Holder and its compliance with
the   provisions   contained   in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower
shall   use its   best   efforts   to cause   its   transfer   agent to   electronically
transmit the Common Stock   issuable   upon   conversion to the Holder by crediting
the account of   Holder's   Prime   Broker with DTC through its Deposit   Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.

                           (g)   FAILURE   TO   DELIVER    COMMON    STOCK   PRIOR   TO
DEADLINE.   Without   in any way   limiting   the   Holder's   right to   pursue   other
remedies,   including actual damages and/or equitable   relief,   the parties agree
that if delivery of the Common Stock   issuable   upon   conversion of this Note is
more   than two (2) days   after the   Deadline   (other   than a failure   due to the
circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by
such Section) the Borrower   shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash,   for
each day beyond the   Deadline   that the   Borrower   fails to deliver   such Common
Stock.   Such cash   amount   shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month
following   the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by
written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month
in which it has accrued),   shall be added to the principal   amount of this Note,
in which event   interest   shall accrue   thereon in accordance   with the terms of
this Note and such additional   principal amount shall be convertible into Common
Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note.


                                        7
<PAGE>

                  1.5 CONCERNING THE SHARES. The shares of Common Stock issuable
upon   conversion   of this Note may not be sold or   transferred   unless   (i) such
shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or
(ii) the   Borrower   or its   transfer   agent   shall have been   furnished   with an
opinion   of   counsel   (which   opinion   shall be in   form,   substance   and   scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
the shares to be sold or transferred   may be sold or transferred   pursuant to an
exemption   from such   registration   or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor   rule)   ("RULE   144") or (iv)
such shares are   transferred to an   "affiliate"   (as defined in Rule 144) of the
Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise   transfer the shares only in accordance
with this   Section   1.5 and who is an   Accredited   Investor   (as   defined in the
Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and
subject   to the   removal   provisions   set forth   below),   until such time as the
shares   of   Common   Stock   issuable   upon   conversion   of this   Note   have   been
registered under the Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or
otherwise   may be sold   pursuant to Rule 144 without any   restriction   as to the
number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately   sold,
each   certificate   for shares of Common Stock   issuable upon   conversion of this
Note that has not been so included in an   effective   registration   statement   or
that has not been sold   pursuant to an   effective   registration   statement or an
exemption that permits removal of the legend,   shall bear a legend substantially
in the following form, as appropriate:

         "THE   SECURITIES   REPRESENTED   BY THIS   CERTIFICATE   HAVE   NOT BEEN
         REGISTERED   UNDER   THE   SECURITIES   ACT OF 1933,   AS   AMENDED.   THE
         SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD,   TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE
         OF AN EFFECTIVE   REGISTRATION   STATEMENT FOR THE   SECURITIES   UNDER
         SAID ACT,   OR AN OPINION OF   COUNSEL IN FORM,   SUBSTANCE   AND SCOPE
         CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS,   THAT
         REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO
         RULE 144 OR REGULATION S UNDER SAID ACT."

                  The legend set forth above   shall be removed and the   Borrower
shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend
if (i) the   Borrower or its   transfer   agent   shall have   received an opinion of
counsel,   in form,   substance   and scope   customary   for   opinions of counsel in
comparable   transactions,   to the effect   that a public sale or transfer of such
Common Stock may be made without   registration   under the Act and the shares are
