CALLABLE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

New York, New York
December 13, 2006 $__________

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MSGI SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada
Corporation (hereinafter called the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the
order of __________________________ or registered assigns (the "Holder") the sum
of $________ on December 13, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on
the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of six percent (6%) (the
"Interest Rate") per annum from December 13, 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, provided that no
interest shall accrue for any month in which the Trading Price (as such term is
defined below) is greater than $1.3021 for each Trading Day (as such term is
defined below) of the month. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not
converted into common stock, par value $.01 per share (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 remain closed. Each
capitalized term used herein, and not

<PAGE>



otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 13, 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 and
Intellectual Property Security Agreement, each dated December 13, 2006 by and
between the Borrower and the Holder.

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, after the Stockholder Approval (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) has been obtained, 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 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 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock and provided further that the Holder shall not be
entitled to convert any portion of this Note during any month immediately
succeeding a Determination Date (as defined below) on which the Borrower
exercises its prepayment option pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Note. 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


2
<PAGE>


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 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, provided, however, that the Company shall
have the right to pay any or all interest in cash 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 December 4, 2006, executed in
connection with the initial issuance of this Note and the other Notes issued on
the Issue Date (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The term "Determination
Date" means the last business day of each month after the Issue Date.

1.2 Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be the
Variable 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
closing price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") as reported
by a reliable reporting service ("Reporting Service") mutually acceptable to
Borrower and Holder 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 closing price of such security on the
principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or
traded or, if no closing price of such security is available in any of the
foregoing manners, the average of the closing 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 75%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion
Price be less than $.50.

1.3 Authorized Shares. 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, after the Stockholder Approval has been obtained,
required at all times to have authorized and reserved two times the number of


3
<PAGE>


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 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


4
<PAGE>


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 Holder elects to take 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 Holder elects to take 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 Holder's election shall be made in writing to the Borrower
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 Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive cash.
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).

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 Stockholder Approval has been obtained, 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, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this
paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and
unconverted principal


5
<PAGE>

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 three (3) business days after such receipt (and, solely in the case of
conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note)
(such third 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
effective date of the Registration Statement upon conversion of this Note shall
not bear any restrictive legend, unless otherwise required).

(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,


6
<PAGE>


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 three (3) business 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 $1,000 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.

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
reasonably acceptable to Borrower's counsel) 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 REASONABLY


7
<PAGE>


ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY'S COUNSEL, 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 reasonably acceptable to the Borrower's
counsel, 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 so sold or
transferred, (ii) such Holder provides the Borrower or its transfer agent with
reasonable assurances that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note (to the extent such securities are deemed to have been acquired on the same
date) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) in the case of the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by
the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act 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.
Nothing in this Note shall (i) limit the Borrower's obligation under the
Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) affect in any way the Holder's obligations
to comply with applicable prospectus delivery requirements upon the resale of
the securities referred to herein.

1.6 EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the
option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the
Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation,
merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other
Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall
