All payments under or pursuant to this Note
shall be made in United States Dollars in immediately available
funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder first set forth
above or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time
to time in writing to the Maker or by wire transfer of funds to the
Holder's account, instructions for which are attached hereto as
Exhibit A . The outstanding principal balance of this
Note shall be due and payable on October __, 2007 (the "
Maturity Date ") or at such earlier time as provided

ARTICLE I
Section 1.1
Purchase Agreement
. This Note has been executed and
delivered pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated
as of September 30, 2005 (the "Purchase Agreement”) by and
among the Maker and the purchasers listed therein. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
Section 1.2 -Interest. Beginning on the issuance date of
this Note (the “Issuance Date”), the outstanding
principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at
a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%), payable annually on
October 1 of each year commencing October 1, 2006 at the option of
the Maker in (A) cash, (B) additional senior secured convertible
promissory notes in a form substantially identical to this Note, or

Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined
in Section 2.1 hereof), then to the extent permitted by law, the
Maker will pay interest to the Holder, payable on demand, on the
outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date of the
Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate
of the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) and the maximum applicable
legal rate per annum.
Section 1.3 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(a) Commencing on the fifth (5 th ) month
following the Issuance Date and continuing thereafter on the first
(1 st ) business day of each month (a “Principal
Payment Date”), the Maker shall pay an amount to the Holder

this Note plus any accrued but unpaid interest (the “
Principal Installment Amount ”); provided ,
however , if on any Principal Payment Date, the outstanding
principal amount of this Note plus any accrued but unpaid interest
is less than the Principal Installment Amount, then the Maker shall
pay to the Holder such lesser amount. The Maker may pay such
Principal Installment Amount in cash or registered shares of Common
Stock. If the Maker elects to pay the Principal Installment Amount
in cash such amount shall be wired in immediately available funds
on the Principal Payment Date; provided , however ,
that if the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice to the Maker
or delivers a Conversion Notice prior to the Principal Payment
Date, the Holder shall indicate in such Conversion Notice whether
the principal amount of this Note to be so converted shall be
applied against the final Principal Installment Amount or some
other Principal Installment Amount. The Maker shall provide
irrevocable written notice to the Holder of the form of payment of
the Principal Installment Amount on the tenth (10 th )
business day prior to the first day of each month for which a
Principal Installment Amount is required to be made by the
Maker.
(b) If the Maker elects to pay the Principal
Installment Amount in registered shares of Common Stock, the number
of registered shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
shall be an amount equal to the Principal Installment Amount
divided by eighty-seven and one-half percent (87.5%) of the average
of the Closing Bid Price (as defined in Section 1.3(c) hereof) for
the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the Principal
Payment Date; provided , however , that if the Holder
has delivered a Conversion Notice to the Maker or delivers a
Conversion Notice prior to the Principal Payment Date, the Holder
shall indicate in such Conversion Notice whether the principal
amount of this Note to be so converted shall be applied against the
final Principal Installment Amount or some other Principal
Installment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
the Maker may elect to pay the Principal Installment Amount in
registered shares of Common Stock on any Principal Payment Date
only if (A) the registration statement providing for the resale of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
(the “ Registration Statement ”) is effective
and has been effective, without lapse or suspension of any kind,
for a period of twenty (20) consecutive calendar days, (B) trading
in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Securities
and Exchange Commission or the OTC Bulletin Board (or other
exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading), (C) the
Maker is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Note and the other Transaction Documents, and (D) the issuance
of shares of Common Stock on the Principal Payment Date does not
violate the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof.
(c) The term " Closing Bid Price " shall
mean, on any particular date (i) the last trading price per share
of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or
another registered national stock exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date,
then the last trading price on such exchange or quotation system on
the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock
is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered
national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of
Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC
Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii)
if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board
or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices), then the average of the "Pink Sheet" quotes for the
relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the
Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the
Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.
Section 1.4
Security Agreement
. The obligations of the Maker
hereunder are secured by a continuing security interest in certain
assets of the Maker pursuant to the terms of a security agreement
dated as of September 30, 2005 by and among the Maker and the
Maker’s wholly owned subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Holder and the Other Holders, on the other hand.

payment to be made shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public
holiday under the laws of the State of New York, such payment may
be due on the next succeeding business day and such next succeeding
day shall be included in the calculation of the amount of accrued
interest payable on such date.

replacement hereof) and a standard indemnity, or, in the case of a

CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION;
PREPAYMENT
Section
3.1
Conversion Option
.
(a) At any time on or after the Issuance Date, this
Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of
the Holder (the "Conversion Option"), into such number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion
Rate") as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the
outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest
under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert
by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a) hereof)
then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of
conversion (the "Conversion Notice"), duly executed, to the Maker
(facsimile number (800) 608-3562, Attn.: Chief Executive Officer)
(the “Voluntary Conversion Date”), provided, however,
that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
described in Section 3.6 below. The Holder shall deliver this Note
to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at
such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to
partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written
records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion
Date.
(b) On the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined
below), the Maker may cause the principal amount of this Note plus
all accrued and unpaid interest to convert into a number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient
of (i) the principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and
unpaid interest outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date
divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory
Conversion Date by providing five business (5) days prior written
notice of such Mandatory Conversion Date; provided , that,
the Maker shall not convert, during any fifteen day period, this
Note into such number of registered shares of Common Stock in
excess of an amount equal to the greater of (1) twenty-five percent
(25%) of the aggregate trading volume for the prior fifteen (15)
days or (2) twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount
of this Note. As used herein, a " Mandatory Conversion Date
" shall be a date following the effective date of the Registration
Statement in which the Closing Bid Price exceeds $0.80 for a period
of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days and the average daily trading
volume for such ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period exceeds
250,000 shares of Common Stock; provided , that (A)
the Registration Statement is effective and has been effective,
without lapse or suspension of any kind, for a period of twenty
(20) consecutive calendar days immediately preceding the Mandatory
Conversion Date, (B) trading in the Common Stock shall not have
been suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the OTC
Bulletin Board (or other exchange or market on which the Common
Stock is trading), (C) the Maker is in material compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Note and the other Transaction
Documents, (D) the issuance of shares of Common Stock on the
Mandatory Conversion Date pursuant to such mandatory conversion
does not violate the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof, and (E) the
Maker is not in possession of any material non-public information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Mandatory
Conversion Date shall be extended for as long as a Triggering Event
(as defined in Section 3.7(f) hereof) shall have occurred and be
continuing. The Mandatory Conversion Date and the Voluntary
Conversion Date collectively are referred to in this Note as the "
Conversion Date ."
(c) So long as the Registration Statement is
effective, in the event that the Closing Bid Price of the Common
Stock is greater than $0.40 and less than $1.25, the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of
this Note shall not exceed the greater of (1) twenty-five percent
(25%) of the aggregate trading volume for the prior fifteen (15)
days or (2) twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount
of this Note.
Section
3.2
Conversion Price
.
(a) The term " Conversion Price " shall mean
$0.40, subject to adjustment under Section 3.6 hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the
contrary, if during any period (a " Black-out Period "), a
Holder is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of this Note immediately due to the postponement of
filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or because the Maker has otherwise informed such Holder
that an existing prospectus cannot be used at that time in the sale
or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such postponement,
delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not
due to factors solely within the control of the Holder of this Note
or due to the Maker exercising its rights under Section 3(n) of the
Registration Rights Agreement), such Holder shall have the option
but not the obligation on any Conversion Date within ten (10)
Trading Days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of
using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion Date or
any Conversion Price selected by such Holder that would have been
applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during
the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) Trading Days
thereafter. In no event shall the Black-out Period have any effect
on the Maturity Date of this Note.
Section 3.3
Mechanics of
Conversion.
(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any
Conversion Date, the Maker or its designated transfer agent, as
applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company
(“ DTC ”) account on the Holder’s behalf
via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“
DWAC ”) as specified in the Conversion Notice,
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. In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days
after any Conversion Date, the Maker shall deliver to the
applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates
which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions
(other than those required by Section 5.1 of the Purchase
Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “ Delivery
Date ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
the Maker or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue
and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via
DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such
conversion is in connection with a sale and the Holder has complied
with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (as evidenced
by documentation furnished to and reasonably satisfactory to the
Maker). If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or
certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable
Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by
written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of
such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such
conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this
Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder
shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any
amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable
through the date notice of rescission is given to the
Maker.
(b) The Maker understands that a delay in the
delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note
beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the
Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via
DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section
hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder,
in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such
shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered,
together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum,
accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid
in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for the
first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be
converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day
(which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue
actual damages for the Maker's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the
period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a
Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be
obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with
this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is
withdrawn.
(c) In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Maker fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit
to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note on or before
the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by
its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise
(a “ Buy-In” ), then the Maker shall (1) pay in
cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained
by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note that the Maker was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B)
the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of
shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or
deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued had the Maker timely complied with its
conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the
Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of
$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion
of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise
to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the
immediately preceding sentence the Maker shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Maker written
notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of
the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other
evidence reasonably requested by the Maker. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 3.4
Ownership Cap and Certain
Conversion Restrictions .
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert
all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when
aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the
Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which
would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder) more than 4.9% of all of the Common Stock outstanding
at such time; provided , however , that upon the
Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice
(pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) (the " Waiver Notice ")
that the Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard
to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note, this Section 3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with
regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver
Notice.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert
all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated
with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such
time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided ,
however , that upon the Holder providing the Maker with a
Waiver Notice that the Holder would like to waive Section 3.4(b) of
this Note with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall be of no
force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note
referenced in the Waiver Notice.
Section
3.5
Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
3.6
Adjustment of Conversion
Price.
(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i)
Adjustments for Stock Splits and
Combinations . If the
Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance
Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the
applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall
at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be
proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section
3.6(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date
the stock split or combination occurs.
(ii) Adjustments for
Certain Dividends and Distributions . If the Maker shall at any
time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or
set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be
decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such
record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on
such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price
then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the
close of business on such record date; and
(2) the denominator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock is
|
