                             TOTAL NOTE: $__________

     1STALERTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "CORPORATION"), for value
received, promises to pay (subject to the conversion provisions set forth
herein) to the order of _________________________________ (the "HOLDER"), on
December 31, 2009 (the "DUE DATE"), upon presentation of this Convertible
Promissory Note (the "NOTE"), _____________________________________________
($____________) Dollars (the "PRINCIPAL AMOUNT"). The Note is convertible into
shares of common stock (the "COMMON STOCK") of the Corporation as provided below
in Section 2. This Note is issued in connection with the Asset Purchase
Agreement, dated, by and between the Corporation and the Holder (the "ASSET
PURCHASE AGREEMENT").

     The Corporation covenants, promises and agrees as follows:

     1. Interest. The unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding on
the Note shall bear interest at the rate of one (1) percentage point per annum
above the Prime Rate (the "PRIME RATE") (the rate as published in the "Money
Rates" table in The Wall Street Journal). The highest Prime Rate will be chosen
if more than one is published. This rate may vary from time to time based upon
corresponding increases and/or decreases in the Prime Rate. Interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed,
payable at maturity. However, at no time shall the interest to be paid by the
Corporation to the Holder exceed eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

     2. Conversion.

     2.1. Option to Convert. Subject to Section 2.2, the Holder shall have the
right, at its option,


                                       1



to convert, in whole or in part, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the
then outstanding balance of the Principal Amount of the Note into shares of the
Corporation's common stock the number of shares to be determined by dividing the
outstanding balance of the Principal Amount of the Note to be converted by 70%
of the Market Price (as defined below) of the Corporation's common stock on the
date of conversion (the "CONVERSION PRICE"), subject to adjustment as provided
below in Section 6.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, "MARKET PRICE" shall mean:

          (i)  if the Corporation's common stock is listed, or admitted to
               unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange, or
               is traded on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq Small-Cap
               Market, the last reported high bid price on each trading day of
               any measurement period to which such Market Price relates, in
               each case as officially reported by the principal securities
               exchange on which the common stock is listed or admitted to
               unlisted trading privileges or by the Nasdaq National Market or
               Nasdaq Small-Cap Market, or

          (ii) if the Corporation's common stock is not listed or admitted to
               unlisted trading privileges, on any national securities exchange,
               or traded on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small-Cap
               Market, but is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board of the Nasdaq
               Stock Market, Inc. (the "OTCBB"), then the Market Price is the
               last reported high bid price of the common stock reported by the
               OTCBB; or

          (iii) if the Corporation's common stock is not listed or admitted to
               unlisted trading privileges, on any national securities exchange,
               or traded on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Small-Cap Market,
               or the OTCBB but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then
               the Market Price is the last reported high bid price of the
               common stock reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or
               similar bureau if the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. is no
               longer reporting such information on the date of the event to
               which such Market Price relates, and if no such prices are
               reported on such date, then the average of the last so reported
               high bid prices on the last five trading days on which such
               prices are reported immediately preceding such date; or

          (iv) if the Corporation's common stock is neither listed, nor admitted
               to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange,
               nor traded on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small-Cap
               Market, nor on the OTCBB, nor traded in the over-the-counter
               market, then the fair market value of the common stock, not less
               that the book value thereof, as of the date of the event to which
               such Market Price relates, as determined in good faith (using
               customary valuation methods) by the Board of Directors of the
               Corporation, which determination shall be evidenced by a
               resolution of the Board of Directors and based on the best
               information available to it.


                                       2



     2.2 Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Note, the Holder shall only have the right to convert, as set forth in Section
2.1 above, concurrently with the Corporation effecting a public sale, spin-off,
or other similar disposition of the shares of common stock of the Corporation.

     2.3. Exercise of Conversion Right. The conversion right shall be exercised,
if at all, by surrender of the Note to the Corporation, together with written
notice of election executed by the Holder, which may be in the form which is
included with this Note (hereinafter referred to as the "CONVERSION NOTICE") to
convert such Note or a specified portion thereof into the shares of common stock
of the Corporation. Such notice shall be sent to the Corporation at the address
set forth below in Section 10 hereof.

     The date of conversion (the "DATE OF CONVERSION") shall be the date on
which the Conversion Notice is received by the Corporation and the person or
persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such shares on such
date.

     2.4. Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and
keep available, free from preemptive rights, unissued or treasury shares, shares
of Common Stock sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note; 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 principal of this
Note, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

     2.5 Conversion Limitation. In no event shall the Holder be entitled to
convert any portion of the Note in excess of that portion of the Note upon
conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of the Corporation's
common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than
shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the
ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other security of the Corporation) and (2) the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the
Note, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of
more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock. For
purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as
otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The Holder may waive the
limitations set forth herein by written notice of not less than sixty (60) days
to the Corporation.

     3. Prepayment. The Corporation shall have the right to prepay this Note, in
whole or in part, without penalty or a premium.

     4. Security. The Corporation's obligations hereunder are secured by a
Security Agreement, by and between the Corporation and the Holder.


                                       3



     5. Default.

     5.1. Payment of this Note shall, at the election of the Holder, be
accelerated immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events (a
"EVENT OF DEFAULT"):

     (a) The non-payment by the Corporation when due of principal and interest
as provided in this Note; or

     (b) If default beyond five (5) business days from notice provided in
accordance herewith shall occur under the terms of this Note (other than a
default covered by clause (a) above), or of any other agreement between the
Corporation and the Holder, or in any other document or instrument executed and
delivered in connection herewith, or under any agreement or instrument between
the Corporation and any third party, which upon default results in an
acceleration of the making of Corporation's obligation to such third party or in
the termination of such agreement or results in the Corporation becoming
immediately liable for any amount to a third party in excess of $10,000; or

     (c) If any representation or warranty made by the Corporation herein proves
to have been untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date, or any
information, statement, certificate or data furnished hereunder proves to have
been untrue in any material respect as of the date as of which the facts therein
set forth were stated or certified; or

     (d) Except for a default covered by clauses (a), (b), (c) and (e) hereof,
if a default shall be made in the due observance or performance of any other
covenant, affirmative or negative, or condition to be kept or performed by the
Corporation contained in this Note; or

     (e) If the Corporation shall (i) make a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or (ii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee, or liquidator of the Corporation or of all or a substantial part of its
assets, or (iii) be adjudicated a bankrupt, or (iv) file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or a voluntary petition seeking reorganization or to effect a plan or
other arrangement with creditors or file a petition or answer seeking to take
advantage of any law (whether federal or state) relating to the relief of
debtors.

     5.2. Each right, power or remedy of the Holder hereof during the
continuation of any Event of Default as provided for in this Note or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy
provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute, and the exercise by the Holder of any one or more of such rights,
powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the
Holder hereof of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

     6. Anti-Dilution Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment as follows:

     (a) In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide or combine the
outstanding shares of


                                       4



common stock, declare a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or
other similar transaction or reclassify its common stock, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such transaction shall be proportionately
adjusted to reflect the effect of such transaction. Any such adjustment shall be
effective at the close of business on the date such transaction shall become
effective.

     (b) In case of a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into
another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in a
reclassification of outstanding shares of common stock of the class issuable
upon the conversion of this Note and pursuant to which the security holders of
the Corporation are not entitled to receive securities of another issuer), or in
case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Corporation or
such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute an
instrument providing that the Holder of this Note shall have the right
thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance by the Holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation into which this Note might have been
converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, or conveyance. Such interest shall provide for adjustments which shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for
herein. The foregoing provisions of this Note shall similarly apply to
successive reclassification of shares of Common Stock and to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.

     7. Failure to Act and Waiver. No failure or delay by the Holder hereof to
insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Note or to exercise any
right, power or remedy consequent upon a Event of Default hereunder shall
constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach, or preclude the
Holder hereof from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time
or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under
this Note, the Holder hereof shall not be deemed to waive the right either to
require payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Note, or to
declare a Event of Default for failure to effect such payment of any such other
amount.

     The failure of the Holder of this Note to give notice of any failure or
breach of the Corporation under this Note shall not constitute a waiver of any
right or remedy in respect of such continuing failure or breach or any
subsequent failure or breach.

     8. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Corporation hereby agrees and consents that
any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Note shall be brought in any
appropriate court in the State of New York, and by the issuance and execution of
this Note the Corporation irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of each such
court.

     9. Transfer/Negotiability. The Holder may assign, transfer and/or deliver
to any transferee of any rights hereunder. Such transferee shall be vested with
all the powers and rights of the Holder hereunder, but the Holder shall retain
all rights and powers hereby given with respect to any rights not so assigned,
transferred and/or delivered. No delay on the part of the Holder in exercising
any


                                       5



power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder or thereunder preclude other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The
rights, remedies, and benefits herein expressly specified are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies or benefits, which the Holder may otherwise
have.
