”) the sum of ____________________ Dollars ($___________)
(the “ Principal ”) on the earlier of
(i) October__ 2008 (the “ Maturity Date
”), and (ii) the date on which there is an acceleration
pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Note (the “
Note ”), and to pay interest on the
Principal, which shall accrue at the rate of 10% per annum (except

hereof. Such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United

The Company has issued this Note pursuant to a
Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date set forth above (the
“ Subscription Agreement ”) between
the Maker and the Holder and other signatories thereto, if any, all
terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference and hereby
made a part of this Note. By its acceptance of this Note, each
Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Subscription
Agreement. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Subscription
Agreement.
The following
terms apply to this Note:
ARTICLE
I
ACCELERATION; INTEREST;
PREPAYMENT
1.1
Acceleration of Maturity
Date . Subject to Article
III of this Note, the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest
shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (as defined herein), which event shall be deemed
an Acceleration Date.
1.2 Payment of Interest . Payment of accrued Interest on the Principal
shall be paid in cash in full on the Maturity Date or such earlier
date on which the Principal is paid to the Holder or on which the
Note is converted pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless previously converted in full in accordance with
Section 2 hereof, the accrued but unpaid interest on this Note may
be paid, at the sole option of the Company, in cash or in shares
(the “Interest Shares”) of Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share, of the Company. In such event, the holder of this
Note shall be entitled to receive that number of Interest Shares
equal to (i) the then-accrued but unpaid interest of this Note
divided by the average closing price for the five (5) consecutive
trading days ending not more than three (3) days prior to the date
on which the Interest payment is to be made by the Company. All
payments made by the Maker on this Note shall be applied first to
the payment of accrued and unpaid Interest on this Note and then to
the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
Payments of Principal and Interest shall be deemed made on the date
such payment is deposited or, if mailed, on the date deposited in
the mail with proper postage and addressed to the Holder at the
address shown on the records of the Company, or such other address
as provided to the Maker in writing by the Holder. In the event
that the date for the payment of any amount payable under this Note
falls due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of
the State of New York, the time for payment of such amount shall be
extended to the next succeeding business day and Interest shall
continue to accrue on any principal amount so effected until the
payment thereof on such extended due date.
1.3 Prepayment . The principal of and accrued interest on this
Note may be prepaid in full or in part, at any time without premium
or penalty. If this Note is called for prepayment pursuant this
Section 1.3, the Company shall give written notice to the Holder
not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to
the date the Company intends to effect the prepayment (the “
Prepayment Date ”), setting forth the
prepayment price to be paid, instructions for presentation of the
Notes for prepayment and the Prepayment Date. The Holder shall,
upon receipt of notice of prepayment, cause this Note to be timely
delivered to the Company at its principal offices. If on or before
the Prepayment Date all funds necessary to pay for the Notes to be
prepaid shall have been set aside by the Company for the benefit of
such Holders, then, on and after such date, notwithstanding that
any Note subject to prepayment shall not have been surrendered for
prepayment, the obligation evidenced by all Notes not surrendered
for prepayment shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and all
rights with respect thereto shall forthwith cease and terminate,
except only the right of the holder of each Note subject to
prepayment to receive the prepayment amount to which he would be
entitled upon receiving notice of prepayment. Holders may convert
their Notes pursuant to Article II of this Note during the period
from the date of notice of prepayment until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
on the business day immediately prior to the Prepayment
Date.
1.4 Holder Deemed Owner . The registered Holder hereof may be deemed
the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing
hereon made by anyone other than the Maker, for the purpose of
receiving payment hereof or thereof or on account hereof and for
all other purposes) and the Maker shall not be affected by notice
to the contrary.
ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION RIGHTS;
CONVERSION PRICE
(a) Voluntary Conversion . Commencing on the date hereof, the Holder
shall have the right prior to the Maturity Date, to convert the
entirety of the outstanding Principal amount of this Note, into
shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share
(the “ Common Stock ”), at the
Conversion Rate (as defined herein) determined as provided herein.
The initial Conversion Rate of this Note is $0.05, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Article II
(the “ Conversion Rate ”). The number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this
Note shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of Principal to
be converted by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect on the date the
Conversion Notice is delivered to the Maker by the Holder. Upon the
conversion of this Note, all rights of the Holder, except the right
to receive certificates representing shares of Common Stock of the
Company in accordance with this Article II and the right to receive
payment of all accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with
Section 1.3, shall cease and this Note shall no longer be deemed to
be outstanding.
(b) Method of Conversion . Except as otherwise provided in this Note or
agreed to by the Holder, this Note may be converted by the Holder
pursuant to its conversion rights set forth in Section 2.1 in whole
at any time or in part (provided such partial conversion is at
least $10,000) as follows. In the event of a Holder electing to
exercise its conversion rights, submitting to the Maker a
Conversion Notice (by facsimile dispatched on the Conversion Date
and confirmed by U.S. mail or overnight mail service sent within
two business days thereafter) and surrendering this Note with the
mailed confirmation of the Conversion Notice at the principal
office of the Maker. Upon a partial conversion of this Note, a new
Note containing the same date and provisions as this Note shall be
issued by the Maker to the Holder for the balance due hereunder
which shall not have been converted. The Company shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to Holder, at the address
set forth in this Note, a certificate or certificates representing
the shares of Common Stock (bearing such legends as may be required
or advisable in the opinion of counsel of the Company) determined
in accordance with provisions of this Article II, together with a
check payable to the Holder for accrued and unpaid Interest and any
cash amounts payable as described in Section 2(c) below.
(c)
No Fractional Shares
. No fractional shares shall be
issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing
any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this
Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal
to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate by the
fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.
Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts
specified in this Note, the Company shall be released from all its
obligations and liabilities under this Note.
2.2
Adjustment to Conversion
Rate . The Conversion
Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of certain events as set forth below.
(a)
Subdivision
. If the Company, at any time while
Notes remain outstanding, shall (i) subdivide or forward split the
Common Stock (or effect a similar transaction), the Conversion Rate
shall be proportionately reduced or (ii) effect a reverse stock
split or similar transaction, the Conversion Rate shall be
proportionately increased, as the case may be, as of the effective
date of such subdivision, reverse or forward stock split or similar
transaction, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders of
its Common Stock for the purpose of any such transaction, as of
such record date, whichever is earlier (provided if such
transaction does not actually occur, such adjustment shall not be
made).
(b)
Stock Dividends
. If the Company at any time while
any Notes are outstanding shall pay a dividend in shares of, or
make other distribution of shares of, the Common Stock, then the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record
is taken, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to
that price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such dividend or distribution.
2.3
Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger . At any time while this Note remains
outstanding, in case of any reclassification or change of Common
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or
as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock for
which an adjustment has been made pursuant to Section 2.2), or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation
in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no
par value per share to par value, or as a result of a subdivision
or combination of Common Stock for which an adjustment has been
made pursuant to Section 2.3) or in the case of any sale or
transfer of the property or assets of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, the Company, or such successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment
of any additional consideration therefor, execute new notes
providing that the holders of the Notes shall have the right to
