Section 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein and that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement, dated May 14, 2006, by and between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Subscription Agreement”).
 
Section 2. Prepayment. This Note or any part of the principal amount hereof (in denominations of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or multiples thereof) may be prepaid by the Borrower without penalty, premium or prior notice.
 
Section 3. Interest. All indebtedness outstanding under this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year) at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum commencing from the date of this Note. Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
 
Section 4. Conversion. 
 
(a) The outstanding principal and accrued interest on this Note shall, at the option of the Lender, be converted at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.175, or (ii) the ten day trading average of shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the ten trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the date of conversion (such price being referred to herein the “Conversion Price”).

(b) If the Lender desires to exercise the conversion rights set forth in this Section 4, the Lender shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company and shall give written notice to the Borrower at such office of its election to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest hereon into shares of Common Stock. The notice shall state the name(s) of the nominee(s) of the Lender in which any shares of Common Stock are to be issued.

Instead of issuing any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof), the Borrower shall round up to the nearest whole number of shares and pay to the Lender cash in an amount equal to the amount of such fractional interest, multiplied by the Conversion Price.
 
Section 5. Payment in U.S. Funds. Unless this Note is converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4 hereof, payments of both principal and interest on this Note are to be made in lawful money of the United States payable by check payable to the Lender and mailed to the address of the Lender as set forth in the first paragraph of this Note or such other place as the holder hereof shall designate to the Borrower in writing.
