The

ARTICLE I
CONTRACT RATE
1.1
Contract Rate . Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10,
interest payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note
(the “ Principal
Amount ”) shall accrue at a rate per annum (the
“ Contract Rate
”) equal to the “prime rate” published in The
Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “
Prime Rate
”). The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased
as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate
in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate;
each change to be effective as of the day of the change in the
Prime Rate. Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of
a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on
July 1, 2005 on the first business day of each consecutive calendar
month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date and on the

month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in the Prime
Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance
with the terms of Section 1.1) until the Maturity Date (each a
“ Determination
Date ”) and shall be subject to adjustment as set
forth herein. If (i) the Parent shall have registered the
shares of the Common Stock underlying the conversion of each
Minimum Borrowing Note and the exercise of each Warrant on a

Price ”) of the Common Stock as reported by
Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading
days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent
(25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall
automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.) (2%) for
each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market
Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed
Conversion Price. If (i) the Parent shall not have registered
the shares of the Common Stock underlying the conversion of each
Minimum Borrowing Note and each Warrant on a registration statement

on the principal
market for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent
(25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall
automatically be decreased by 100 basis points (100 b.p.) (1%) for
each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market
Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed
Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything
to the contrary contained herein), in no event shall the Contract
Rate at any time be less than zero percent (0%).
ARTICLE II
LOANS; PAYMENTS UNDER THIS NOTE
2.1
Loans . All Loans evidenced by this Note shall be made
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Security
Agreement.
2.2
No Effective Registration . Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Holder shall not be required to accept
shares of Common Stock as payment following a conversion by the
Holder if there fails to exist an effective current Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued, or if an Event of
Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such requirement
is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at
the Holder’s option.
2.3
Optional Redemption in Cash . The Companies will have
the option of prepaying this Note (“ Optional Redemption ”) by
paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen
percent (115%) of the principal amount of this Note together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due,
accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the
Security Agreement, or any other Ancillary Agreement (the “
Redemption Amount
”) outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined

notice of redemption (the “ Notice of Redemption ”)
specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the “
Redemption Payment
Date ”), which date shall be seven (7) days after
the date of the Notice of Redemption (the “ Redemption Period ”). A
Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any
portion of this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered
a Notice of Conversion (defined below) pursuant to Section 3.1, or
for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to
Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period. The Redemption
Amount shall be determined as if such Holder’s conversion
elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the
Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the
Redemption Amount (plus any additional interest and fees accruing
on the Notes during the Redemption Period) must be irrevocably paid
in full in immediately available funds to the Holder. In the
event the Companies fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the
Redemption Payment Date, then such Redemption Notice shall be null

ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED CONVERSION PRICE

Optional Conversion . Subject to the terms of this Article
III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at
any time until the Maturity Date, or during an Event of Default (as
defined in Article IV), and, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 3.2 hereof, to convert all or any portion of the
outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due
and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common
Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof,
subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the initial “ Fixed Conversion Price ” means
$.65. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion are herein referred to as the “ Conversion Shares. ”
3.2
Conversion Limitation . Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled
to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would
be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would
exceed the difference between (i) 4.99% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder. For purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Conversion Shares limitation
described in this Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and
void following notice to any Company upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior
notice to the Parent. Notwithstanding anything contained
2
herein to the contrary, the provisions of this
Section 3.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or
any Company.
3.3
Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion . In the event
that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the
Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed
and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto (appropriately completed) (“ Notice of Conversion ”) to the
Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in
reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and
fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as
hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of
Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the
Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its
records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent
within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date. Each
date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to
the Parent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed
a Conversion Date (the “ Conversion Date ”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will
issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion
of counsel within three (3) Business Day of the date of the
delivery to the Parent of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause
the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the
Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust
Corporation (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system within three
(3) Business Days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of
Conversion (the “ Delivery
Date ”). In the case of the exercise of the
conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall
be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable
upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the
date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion.
The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder
