sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Notes;
and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then-outstanding Notes, in addition to such
other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the
Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion
of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purposes.
3.8 Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section
3 to be given to the Holder shall be deemed given if deposited
in the United States mail, postage prepaid and certified,

endorsement (by the Holder of this Note executing the form of
assignment attached to this Note as Exhibit `B') and delivery in the
same manner as any negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement

Company may treat the registered Holder of this Note as the absolute
owner of this Note for all purposes, despite any notice to the

without consent shall be void ab initio.

as amended, of the United States of America (the "Act") or the
securities laws of any state of the United States ("State Act"). This
Note and the stock into which it is convertible have been acquired for
investment and not with a view to, or in connection with, the sale or
distribution thereof, and may not be offered, sold, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise transferred for value directly or
indirectly, in the absence of an effective registration statement under
the Act and compliance with applicable State Acts, or pursuant to an

Form SB-2, or shall amend its present SB-2 registration statement to
register 200% of the then shares to be issued upon conversion of the

3
Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit `C'. The registration statement
shall call for, amongst other items more fully described therein, the
Company to use its best efforts to have such registration statement

the date of its initial filing, the Company shall pay a penalty to the
Holder in an amount equal to 2% of the principal balance and any and
all accrued interest then outstanding per month or any part thereof,
until such time as the registration statement is declared effective.
Company agrees to keep such registration statement effective until the
maturity of the Note. Should there come a time when the number of
shares that have been registered is less than 200% of the total number
of shares to be issued upon conversion, the Company agrees that it will
amend such registration statement such that a minimum of 200% of the
shares to be issued upon conversion are on such registration statement.

shall not issue common shares or securities that are
convertible into common shares that have piggyback or demand

exchanging this Note; and after that appointment occurs any such
