issuable upon the conversion of certain Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
dated February 4, 2003 (the "Notes"). The principal and, at the request of the
holder of the Note, the accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes is convertible

amount of the Notes into shares of Common Stock or, in the event that there is a
series of Preferred Stock of the Company issued or proposed to be issued, into
the most senior series of such Preferred Stock. At this time, no such series of
Preferred Stock exists. The number of shares into which the Notes may convert is
