hereof,
interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum
(the "Interest
Rate") equal to the "prime rate" published in The Wall Street
Journal from time
to time, plus three percent (3%). The prime 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 such rate. Interest
shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360 day year. Interest shall accrue but not be
payable during
the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on March 31,
2005.
<PAGE>
Interest on the Amortizing Principal Amount shall be payable
monthly, in
arrears, commencing on April 1, 2005 and on the first day of
each consecutive
calendar month thereafter (each, a "Repayment Date") and on the
Maturity Date,
whether by acceleration or otherwise. Accrued interest on the
Non-Amortizing
Principal Amount shall be payable only on the Maturity Date or,
in the event of
the redemption or conversion of all or any portion of the
Non-Amortizing

converted shall
be paid on the date of redemption or conversion, as the case may
be.
1.1 (b) Interest Rate Adjustment. The Interest Rate shall be
subject to
adjustment on the last business day of each month hereafter
until the Maturity
Date (each a "Determination Date"). If on any Determination Date
(i) the
Borrower shall have registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the
"Securities Act"), the shares of Common Stock underlying each of
the conversion
of this Note and the exercise of the Warrant issued on a
registration statement

(the "SEC"), and
(ii) the market price (the "Market Price") of the Common Stock
as reported by
Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market (as defined below) for
the five (5)
consecutive trading days immediately preceding such
Determination Date exceeds
the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty
five percent
(25%), the Interest Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall
automatically
be reduced by 25 basis points (25 b.p.) (0.25%) for each
incremental twenty five
percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock
above the Fixed
Conversion Price, after giving effect to adjustments set forth
herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything to the contrary
contained in
herein), in no event shall the Interest Rate be less than zero
percent (0%).
1.2 Minimum Monthly Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of
the
outstanding principal amount of this Note not contained in the
Restricted

2005 and shall recur on each succeeding Repayment Date
thereafter until the
Amortizing Principal Amount has been repaid in full, whether by
the payment of
cash or by the conversion of such principal into Common Stock
pursuant to the
terms hereof. Subject to Section 2.1 and Article 3 below, on
each Repayment
Date, the Borrower shall make payments to the Holder in the
amount of $14,705.88
(the "Monthly Principal Amount"), together with any accrued and
unpaid interest
then due on such portion of the Amortizing Principal Amount plus
any and all
other amounts which are then owing under this Note that have not

Monthly Principal Amount, together with such accrued and unpaid
interest and
such other amounts, collectively, the "Monthly Amount") ;
provided that,
following a release of an amount of funds from the Restricted
Account (as
defined in the Restricted Account Agreement) for the purposes
set forth in the
Restricted Account Side Letter (other than with respect to a
release that occurs
as a result of a conversion of any Principal Amount) (each, a
"Release Amount")
each Monthly Principal Amount due on any Repayment Date
occurring on or after
the 90th day following any such release shall be increased by an
amount equal to
(x) such Release Amount divided by (y) the sum of (I) the number
of Repayment
Dates occurring on or after the 90th day following any such
release and
remaining until the Maturity Date plus (II) one (1). Any
Principal Amount that

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION REPAYMENT
2.1 (a) Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock. If
the Monthly
Amount (or a portion thereof of such Monthly Amount if such
portion of the
Monthly Amount would have been converted into shares of Common
Stock but for
Section 3.2) is required to be paid in cash pursuant to Section
2.1(b), then the
Borrower shall pay the Holder an amount equal to the Monthly
Amount due and
owing to the Holder on the Repayment Date in cash. If the
Monthly Amount (or a
portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount
may be converted
into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2) is required
to be paid in
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the number of
such shares to
be issued by the Borrower to the Holder on such Repayment Date
(in respect of
such portion of the Monthly Amount converted into in shares of
Common Stock
pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by
dividing (x) the
portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common
Stock, by (y) the
then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, the
initial "Fixed
Conversion Price" means $0.83.
(b) Monthly Amount Conversion Guidelines. Subject to
Sections
2.1(a), 2.2 and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert into shares
of Common Stock
all or a portion of the Monthly Amount due on each Repayment
Date according to
the following guidelines (collectively, the "Conversion
Criteria"): (i) the
average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by
Bloomberg, L.P. on the
Principal Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding
such Repayment Date shall be greater than or equal to 120% of
the Fixed
Conversion Price and (ii) the amount of such conversion does not
exceed twenty
five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the
Common Stock
for the twenty two (22) day trading period immediately preceding
the applicable
Repayment Date. If the Conversion Criteria are not met, the
Holder shall convert
only such part of the Monthly Amount that meets the Conversion
Criteria. Any
part of the Monthly Amount due on a Repayment Date that the
Holder has not been
able to convert into shares of Common Stock due to failure to
meet the
Conversion Criteria, shall be paid by the Borrower in cash
within three (3)
business days following the applicable Repayment Date.
(c) Application of Conversion Amounts. Any amounts converted by
the
Holder pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to constitute
payments of, or
applied against, (i) first, outstanding fees, (ii) second,
accrued interest on
the Amortizing Principal Amount, and (iii) third, the Amortizing
Principal
Amount.
2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary
herein, no amount payable hereunder may be converted into Common
Stock unless
(a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement (as
defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) covering the shares of Common
Stock to be issued
in satisfaction of such obligations exists, or (ii) an exemption
from
registration of the Common Stock is available pursuant to Rule
144 of the
Securities Act, and (b) no Event of Default hereunder exists and
is continuing,
unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure
period or is
otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at
the Holder's
option.
2.3 Optional Redemption of Amortizing Principal Amount. The
Borrower will
have the option of prepaying the outstanding Amortizing
Principal Amount
("Optional Amortizing
<PAGE>
Redemption"), in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder a sum
of money equal
to (i) one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Amortizing
Principal Amount
to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon and (ii) any
and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising
under this
Note, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement (the
preceding clauses (i)
and (ii), collectively, the "Amortizing Redemption Amount") on
the Amortizing
Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Borrower shall
deliver to the
Holder a notice of redemption (the "Notice of Amortizing
Redemption") specifying
the date for such Optional Amortizing Redemption (the
"Amortizing Redemption
Payment Date"), which date shall be not less than seven (7)
business days after
the date of the Notice of Amortizing Redemption (the "Redemption
Period"). A
Notice of Amortizing Redemption shall not be effective with
respect to any
portion of the Amortizing Principal Amount for which the Holder
has a pending
election to convert pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions
initiated or
made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption
Period. The
Amortizing Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such
Holder's conversion
elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of
the Notice of
Amortizing Redemption. On the Amortizing Redemption Payment
Date, the Amortizing
Redemption Amount shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In
the event the
Borrower fails to pay the Amortizing Redemption Amount on the
Amortizing
Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Notice of
Amortizing
Redemption will be null and void.
2.4 Optional Redemption of Non-Amortizing Principal Amount. The
Borrower
will have the option of repaying the outstanding Non-Amortizing
Principal Amount
("Optional Non-Amortizing Redemption"), in whole or in part, by
paying the
Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of the
Non-Amortizing Principal Amount to be redeemed, together with
accrued but unpaid
interest thereon (the "Non-Amortizing Redemption Amount") on the
Non-Amortizing
Redemption Date (as defined below). The Borrower shall deliver
to the Holder a
written notice of redemption (the "Notice of Non-Amortizing
Redemption")
specifying the date for such Optional Non-Amortizing Redemption
(the
"Non-Amortizing Redemption Date"), which date shall be not less
than seven (7)
business days after the date of the Notice of Non-Amortizing
Redemption (the
"Non-Amortizing Redemption Period"). A Notice of Non-Amortizing
Redemption shall
not be effective with respect to any portion of the
Non-Amortizing Principal
Amount for which the Holder has a pending election to convert
pursuant to
Section 3.1, or for conversions initiated or made by the Holder
pursuant to
Section 3.1 during the Non-Amortizing Redemption Period. The
Non-Amortizing
Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the Holder's
conversion elections
had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice
of Non-Amortizing
Redemption. On the Non-Amortizing Redemption Date, the
Non-Amortizing Redemption
Amount shall be paid (i) in good funds to the Holder, (ii) by
furnishing the
Holder written direction to notify the bank holding the
