Interest shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of March, June, September and December of each year and at the Maturity Date or upon any prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of this Note. Such interest payments shall be made in cash or, subject to the Company’s election to offer to pay interest by means of a stock issuance and the Holder’s acceptance of such offer, in shares of Common Stock corresponding to the amount of accrued interest at the same $1.80 Conversion Price applicable to the principal of this Note. The entire Principal shall be due and payable to the Holder on or before September 2, 2010. Maker may at any time or from time to time, upon giving Holder at least forty-five (45) days advance written notice of Maker’s intention to do so, make a voluntary prepayment, whether in full or in part, of this Note, without premium or penalty.

NOTE

This Note in the principal amount of Five Hundred Forty Thousand ($540,000) Dollars is the [Initial] Closing Note purchased by the Holder pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated September _____ , 2007. This Note is unsecured.

CONVERSION AT OPTION OF HOLDER; AUTOMATIC CONVERSION

Conversion at Option of Holder. The Holder shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”) at any time or from time to time prior to the day this Note is paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note as shall remain unpaid at the effective date of the conversion, into, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, at a conversion price of $1.80 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Right may be exercised notwithstanding Maker’s issuance of a notice of intention to make a voluntary prepayment, and the effective date of an elective conversion is the date of Holder’s delivery of a “Conversion Notice” in the form attached hereto.

Automatic Conversion. The Note will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock on the date when closing bid price of a share of the Company’s common stock equals $3.75 per share or greater for twenty (20) of thirty (30) consecutive trading days on the American Stock Exchange, provided that the underlying shares have either been registered for resale by the holders of the securities pursuant to certain piggyback registration rights granted to the Holder as described in paragraph D below or are eligible to be sold under and subject to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

Mechanics of Conversion. The Holder shall effect any elective conversions by delivering to the Company a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (a “Conversion Notice”). Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note or an Automatic Conversion has occurred, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Note to the Company in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon paid in equity securities in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions and will promptly notify Holder if an Automatic Conversion occurs. Upon conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and any accrued, unpaid interest, whether in connection with a conversion at the option of Holder pursuant to exercise of the Conversion Right or pursuant to an Automatic Conversion, this Note shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company for cancellation and a certificate representing the Common Stock issued to Holder therefor shall be delivered to Holder. No fractional shares or scrip shall be issued upon any conversion of this Note. Instead of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to that fractional interest of the Conversion Price at which the Note was converted.

RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES; EFFECT OF RECAPITALIZATION; PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Reservation of Authorized Shares. The Company agrees and represents that until this Note is paid in full or converted, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Company further agrees and represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and that the Company will instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note.

Effect of Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be increased or decreased as a result of a stock split, a reverse stock split or similar recapitalization or reclassification of stock not involving any change in the shareholder’s equity or the aggregate market value of shares outstanding as a result thereof, the per share Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted so that the percentage of the Common Stock acquirable by the Holder upon conversion immediately prior to the event and immediately following the event remains the same.

Piggyback Registration Rights. If the Company proposes to register any of its stock or other securities under the 1933 Act (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holder, but excluding any registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan, a registration made on Form S-4 or any successor forms then in effect, or an SEC Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of Holder given within thirty (30) days after such notice by the Company, the Company shall cause to be registered under the 1933 Act, the number of shares acquired or acquirable by Holder upon conversion that Holder has requested to be registered, provided, however, that if the offering is an underwritten offering, and the underwriter for the offering requires a limitation of the number of shares to be included in such registration, such limitation shall be applied on a pro-rata basis among all other holders of piggyback registration rights. The expense of any such registration shall be paid by the Company.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

A default shall be defined as one or more of the following events (“Event of Default”) occurring and continuing:

(a)

The Maker shall fail to pay any interest payment on this Note when due for a period of thirty (30) days after notice of such default has been sent by the Holder to the Maker.

(b)

The Maker shall dissolve or terminate the existence of the Maker.

(c)

The Maker shall file a petition in bankruptcy, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of a receiver for all or substantially all of its property, or a petition for the appointment of a receiver shall be filed against the Maker and remain unstayed for at least ninety (90) days.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder of this Note may, by written notice to the Maker, declare the unpaid principal amount and all accrued interest of the Note immediately due and payable.

SECURITY FOR PAYMENT OF THE NOTE(S)

This Note is unsecured.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE NOTE

The Effective Date of this Note for purposes of its status as a binding legal obligation of the Maker is the date hereof, which is also the date after which interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance hereof.

STATUS OF HOLDER
