ARTICLE III
HOLDER’S CONVERSION RIGHTS

3.1

Optional Conversion.  Subject to the terms set forth in this Article III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the issued and outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price.  The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as, the “Conversion Shares.

3.2

Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between (i) 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  The Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice to the Parent, except that at no time shall the numbe r of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder a exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common StockNotwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or the Parent.

3.3

Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.  

In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (appropriate completed)  (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees that are being converted.  On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date.  Each date on which



.


07/07/2005

a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to the Parent of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion (the “Del ivery Date”).  In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion.  The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the contrary.

3.4

Late Payments.  Each Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date.  The Companies shall, jointly and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

3.5

Conversion Mechanics.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.  In the event of any conversions of a portion of the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of the outstanding Principal Amount applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in chronological order.

3.6

Adjustment Provisions.  The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

(a)

Reclassification.  If the Parent at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after, such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.

(b)

Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends.  If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Parent in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(c)

Share Issuances.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, if the Parent shall at any time prior to the conversion or repayment in full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock to a Person other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to Sections 3.6(a) or (b) above; (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to the Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Parent) for a consideration per share (the “Offer Price”) less than the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be immediately reset to such lower Offer Price.  For purposes hereof, the issuan ce of any security of the Parent convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of such securities.

(d)

Computation of Consideration.  For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Section 3.6(c) above, the following shall apply:

(i)

in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Parent for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;

(ii)

in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof); and

(iii)

upon any such exercise, the aggregate consideration received for such securities shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Parent for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Parent upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.6(d)).

3.7

Reservation of Shares.  During the period the conversion right exists, the Parent will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of this Note, the Warrants and the Options.  The Parent represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The Parent agrees that its issuance of
