During the time period beginning from February 1, 2007 and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the Conversion Notice date and (b) February 1, 2009, if the Company issues common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into stock at a price (or conversion or exercise right) that is less than the Conversion Price (the "Adjustment Price"), then, at the time of such issuance(s) the Company shall reduce a certain number of Shares from the Conversion Price to the Adjustment Price, in proportion to the number of securities the Company actually issues at the Adjustment Price, For example, if the Company issues 1,000,000 shares (half as much as the Holder would have on full conversion) at $0.08/share, the Holder would get a 50% correction on his Conversion Price, to $0.09/share. If the Company issues 2,000,000 or more shares, the Holder would get the full Conversion Price reduction to $0.08/share. With respect to any adjustment to the Conversion Price or to the number of Common Shares as provided for in this Note, the Company shall as soon as practical send to Holder a detailed written explanation of each such adjustment. (c) Delivery of Conversion Shares. The Capital Stock issued on conversion of this Note (the "Conversion Shares") shall be delivered as follows: As promptly as practicable after conversion, the Company shall deliver to Holder, or to such person or persons as are designated by Holder in the Conversion Notice, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Capital Stock into which this Note or portion thereof is to be converted in such name or names as are specified in the Conversion Notice, rounded to the nearest whole share. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date when this Note shall have been surrendered to the Company for conversion, so that the person entitled to receive such Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such Conversion Shares at such time. In the event that less than the entire outstanding principal of this Note is converted hereunder pursuant to subsection (a) above, this Note shall not be surrendered for cancellation but shall have the fact and amount of conversion recorded on the face of this Note by writing acknowledged by Holder and the Company. If less than the entire principal balance of this Note is converted, the amount of principal converted shall be reduced to the nearest amount that results in no fractional shares. (d) Reservation of Shares. The Company will use its best efforts to gain the approval of the American Stock Exchange to have the authority to issue the Conversion Shares to the Holder. The Company agrees that, during the period within which this Note may be converted, the Company will, at all times, have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available solely for delivery upon the conversion of this Note, Capital Stock and other securities and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the conversion of this Note, free and clear of all restrictions on issuance, sale or transfer other than those imposed by law and free and clear of all pre-emptive rights. The Company agrees that the Conversion Shares shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the stated value or par value per share of the Conversion Shares is at all times equal to or less than the Conversion Price. (e) Registration of Conversion Shares. See the Registration Rights Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein. The Company agrees to file a registration statement on SEC Form S-3 within 60 days of conversion of this Note that includes all of the Conversion Shares. (f) Protection Against Dilution. (i) In the event of any consolidation with or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation) or any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in either case while any principal or accrued interest remains outstanding under this Note, then such successor, leasing or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall (1) execute with the Holder an agreement providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Capital Stock for which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, (2) make effective provision in its articles of association or otherwise, if necessary, in order to effect such agreement, and (3) set aside or reserve, for the benefit of the Holder, the stock, securities, property and cash to which the Holder would be entitled upon conversion of this Note. (ii) In the event of any reclassification or change of the Capital Stock into which this Note may be converted (other than a change in par value or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in the event of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the Capital Stock into which this Note may be converted (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), in either case while any principal or accrued interest remains outstanding under this Note, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Capital Stock for which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. (iii) If the Capital Stock shall be recapitalized or reclassified or the Company shall effect any stock dividend, stock split, or reverse stock split of the Capital Stock, then the Conversion Shares to be issued shall be proportionately and equitably adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of Conversion Shares resulting from such corporate event. 3.

INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Knezevic and his transferees and controlling persons of his transferees and their respective successors and assigns (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the Commission) or the omission to state therein any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state or foreign securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state or foreign securities law (the matters in foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6(b) below, reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal and other costs, expenses and disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise, including without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with litigation in which the Indemnified Person is a party), incurred by him in connection with the investigation or defense of any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (i) apply to any Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, inure to -5- the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such final prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; (iii) be available to the extent that such Claim is based upon a failure of the Indemnified Person to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; or (iv) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by Knezevic pursuant to Section 9. Each Indemnified Person will indemnify the Company and its officers and directors against any Claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, subject to such limitations and conditions are applicable to the Indemnification provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 6 (for the purposes of such indemnification, the Company and its officers and directors shall each be considered an "Indemnified Person"). (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent that the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person, provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In such event, the Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Person, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Indemnified Person. The failure to deliver written notice to an indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. (c) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. -6- (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any provisions relating to indemnification or contribution contained in the underwriting agreements entered into among the Company, the underwriters and the Indemnified Person in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreements shall be controlling as to the Registrable Securities included in the public offering; provided, however, that if, as a result of this Section 6(d), the Indemnified Person is or are held liable with respect to any Claim for which they would be entitled to indemnification hereunder but for this Section 6(d) in an amount which exceeds the aggregate proceeds received by them from the sale of Registrable Securities included in a registration pursuant to such underwriting agreement (the "Excess Liability"), the Company shall reimburse them for such Excess Liability. 7. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited under applicable law, the indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact on which such Claim is based relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the forgoing, (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the payor would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities. The Company and Knezevic agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if Knezevic and any other party were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section. 8. REPORTS UNDER EXCHANGE ACT. (a) With a view to making available to Knezevic the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit Knezevic to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and -7- (iii) furnish to Knezevic, so long as Purchaser owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or periodic report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested to permit Knezevic to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. (b) Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company will not be deemed to have breached this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (a) above at any time at which Knezevic may effect resales of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to one or more Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the reasonable request of Knezevic, , the Company will (1) deliver to such parties a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and will, at its expense, immediately upon the request of any such Holder, deliver to such Holder a certificate, signed by the Company's principal financial officer, stating (a) the Company's name, address and telephone number (including area code), (b) the Company's Internal Revenue Service identification number, (c) the Company's SEC file number, (d) the number of shares of each class of capital stock outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the Company, and (e) whether the Company has filed the reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of such certificate and in addition has filed the most recent annual report required to be filed thereunder and (2) remove any restrictive legends on stock certificates, list such shares on the exchanges on which such shares trade, and take such other action reasonably requested. 9. ASSIGNMENT OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by Knezevic to any transferee of all or any portion of the Company Shares held by Knezevic if: (a) Knezevic agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and (c) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained in this Agreement. In the event of any delay in filing the Registration Statement as a result of such assignment, the Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such delay. 10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each holder and the Company. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. -8- (a) A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. (b) Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be effective upon personal delivery, via facsimile (upon receipt of confirmation of error-free transmission) or two business days following deposit of such notice with a nationally recognized courier service, with postage prepaid and addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as a party may designate by ten days advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto.
