SECTION 3.      CONVERSION

          3.1 Conversion Provisions. This Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock under the circumstances set forth below:

           (a) Conversion at the Option of the Holder. The Holder shall have the right and option at any time during the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the Maturity Date to convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.30 per share, which price is subject to adjustment as set forth herein (as so adjusted, the “Conversion Price”). In order to exercise its conversion rights contained herein, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and shall give written notice to the Company, in the form attached to this Note, that the Holder elects to convert such portion, up to the whole thereof, of the then Outstanding Balance specified in such notice (the “Conversion Amount”). The number of shares of Common Stock to which Holder shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected concurrently with the receipt by the Company of the notice to convert, and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes the record holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion at such time. The Company shall deliver to the Holder one or more stock certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable after the conversion. If the Conversion Amount includes less than all of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new note of like tenor as this Note evidencing the remaining outstanding principal amount hereof.

           (b) Conversion at the Option of the Company. The Company shall have the option at any time during the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the Maturity Date, exercisable upon written notice to the Holder, to require the conversion of all of the Outstanding Balance into Common Stock, at the Conversion Price, provided that the Closing Bid Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock has been at least equal to the Conversion Price for each of the 20 consecutive trading days within three business days preceding the giving of such notice. The “Closing Bid Price” shall mean the closing bid price for the Common Stock, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market if the Common Stock is quoted on The Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or the last sales price of the Common Stock if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, whichever is the principal trading market for the Common Stock. If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the Closing Bid Price shall mean the closing bid price for the Common Stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or similar publisher of such quotations. If the Closing Bid Price cannot be determined pursuant to the above, the Closing Bid Price shall be such price as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith with reference to available established market and industry criteria.

           (c) Adjustments.

                      (i)      If the outstanding shares of Common Stock at any time while this Note remains outstanding shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or split or at the record date of such dividend shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or split or immediately after the record date of such dividend (as the case may be) shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reverse-split into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or reverse split shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination or reverse split, be proportionately increased.

                      (ii)      In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock other than a change covered by Section 3.1(c)(i) above or which solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the conversion hereof, for the same aggregate Conversion Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such event. The provisions of this Section 3.1(c)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

           (d) In each case of an adjustment of the Conversion Price of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at its address for notice under this Note. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based setting forth the new Conversion Price resulting from the adjustment, and the type and amount, if any, of other properly which at the time would be received upon conversion of the this Note.

           (e) Upon (i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other Person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder 20 days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

          3.2 Rights as Shareholder. The Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock under this Note until this Note is converted into shares of Common Stock.

          3.3 Fractional Shares. The Company will issue cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note.

          3.4 Taxes on Conversion. If the Holder converts this Note into shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance of shares upon such conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holders’ name. The Company may refuse to deliver the stock certificates representing the shares being issued in a name other than the Holders’ name until the Company receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

          3.5 Reservation of Conversion Shares. The Company shall, prior to issuance of this Note, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion in full of this Note. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of this Note shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim. The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws, if any, regulating the offer and delivery of the shares of Common Stock or other securities upon conversion of this Note.

          3.6 Legend on Conversion Shares. The shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note shall bear the restrictive legend set forth below, unless the Company receives a written opinion from counsel who is acceptable to the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor such restrictions on transfer are required to maintain compliance with the Securities Act:

  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE LAW. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE LAW.
