Interest on the principal balance of this Convertible Promissory Note ("Note") shall be payable on the Maturity Date. 1. Registered Owner. The Company may consider and treat the person in whose name this Note shall be registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes whatsoever (whether or not this Note shall be overdue) and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Subject to the provisions hereof, the registered owner of this Note shall have the right to transfer it by assignment and the transferee thereof, upon his registration as owner of this Note, shall become vested with all the powers and rights of the transferor. Registration of any new owner shall take place upon presentation of this Note to the Company at its offices together with the Note Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed. In case of transfers by operation of law, the transferee shall notify the Company of such transfer and of his address, and shall submit appropriate evidence regarding the transfer so that this Note may be registered in the name of the transferee. This Note is transferable only on the books of the Company by the Holder on the surrender hereof, duly endorsed. Communications sent to any registered owner shall be effective as against all holders or transferees of this Note not registered at the time of sending the communication. In the event of the assignment of a portion of the principal amount of this Note, the transferee thereof shall not have the right to elect an Optional Conversion (as hereinafter defined) unless the entire remaining principal portion of this Note is converted simultaneously therewith. 2. Conversion. 2.1 Mandatory Conversion. The company is in the process of raising capital through a private offering of 4,700,000 units (the "Units"). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants") at a price of $1.15 per Unit. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $1.50 per share during the period commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the fifth anniversary of such issuance. The Units are being offered through Sanders Morris Harris, Inc. as placement agent ("Placement Agent") on a best efforts basis up to 4,700,000 Units. The minimum number of Units that must be sold for that Offering to close is 2,000,000 (the "Minimum"). Upon closing of the Minimum, this Note shall be automatically converted into such number of Units calculated by dividing $1.15 into the principal and accrued interest at the date of conversion. 2.2 Optional Conversion. At any time after the above private offering has been terminated without closing on the Minimum, the Holder shall have the right to convert the then-outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon (an "Optional Conversion") into shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the Company ("Conversion Securities") at a variable conversion price determined by taking the value weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to the Company via facsimile. In addition, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of warrants equal to the number of shares being issued upon conversion. The exercise price of such warrant shall be equal to the conversion price plus $.25. The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. 2.3 Anti-Dilution Provisions. 2.3.1 Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc. (a) In the event that the Company, at any time or from time to time hereafter, shall (i) declare any dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock of the Company or in securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, including without limitation rights; (ii) effect a subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock; (iii) affect a combination or consolidation of its outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock by reclassification, reverse split or otherwise; (iv) issue by reclassification, exchange or substitution of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; or (v) affect any other transaction having similar effect, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event, including the maximum number of shares of Common 2 Stock into which the convertible securities, including rights (provided for in clause (i) hereof) may be converted or for which the exchangeable securities (provided for in clause (i) hereof) may be exchanged. The purpose of the adjustment shall be that, in the event of a conversion at any time after the occurrence of any event described in (i) through (v) above, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the shares of Conversion Stock (or other securities) to which such Holder would have been finally entitled, after giving effect to the occurrence of such event, as if such Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately upon the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution. The Corporation shall take no such action with respect to the Common Stock unless the Corporation shall simultaneously reserve out of the authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of common stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to be available for full conversion of this Note at the new Conversion Price. 2.3.2 Adjustment for Consolidation or Merger. In case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding Common Stock, then, as part of and as a condition to such transaction, provision shall be made so that, in the event of a conversion, the Holder of this Note, shall receive, in lieu of the securities and property receivable upon the conversion of this Note prior to consummation of the transaction, the kind and amount of shares or other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note would have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation or merger had the conversion occurred, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 2.3.1; in each such case, the terms of this Note shall be applicable to the securities or property receivable upon the conversion of this Note after such consummation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Note after the transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 2 shall be applicable after that event. The Corporation shall take no such action with respect to the Common Stock unless the Corporation shall simultaneously reserve out of the authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of such class or series into which the Common Stock has been changed a sufficient number of shares of such class or series into which the Common Stock has been changed to be available for full conversion of this Note at the new Conversion Price. 2.4 Reservation of Shares. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance and delivery upon conversion of this Note, free of preemptive or rights of purchase, the number of shares of Conversion Stock 3 issuable upon conversion of this Note at the minimum Conversion Price. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 2.5 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the Company and the Holder that all fractional interests shall be eliminated and that all issuances of Common Stock be rounded up to the nearest whole share. 2.6 Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Note. 2.7 Certificate. When the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall file with its official corporate records a certificate of its chief financial or accounting officer setting forth in detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the computation thereof and the adjusted Conversion Price, and shall mail a copy of the certificate to the Holder. 3. Redemption. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part without the written consent of the Holder. 4. Defaults.

Then this Note shall be in default and, at any time thereafter and unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default), at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may, by written notice to the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become forthwith due and payable and/or exercise any and all other rights available at law or in equity. 5.
