herein called the "required conversion date"), if the last sale
price of the common stock averages at least $9.25 per share for the
ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the required conversion
date, then upon written notice from the Company given within fifteen
(15) days following the required conversion date, the Payee shall
convert this Note at the then applicable conversion rate, provided
however, that in the event of such Notice being given by the

prior to January 1, 1999, Holder shall thereafter have the right to
require the Company to redeem this Note for cash upon ten (10) days
written Notice by Holder to the Company at any time prior to the
date such Registration Statement becomes effective.
5. NO OTHER CHANGES. With the exception of the foregoing, all of the other terms
