3. TERMS OF THE NOTE.

3.1. Amount. The principal amount of the Note shall be $500,000.

3.2. Maturity. Unless otherwise converted into the Conversion Shares

(as defined in Section 3.4 hereof) in accordance with the provisions hereof, the

Note shall mature on December 1, 2008, unless such date shall be otherwise

extended in writing by Buyer, in its sole discretion (such date, the "Maturity

Conversion Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof, all outstanding

principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due and owing under the Note shall

be immediately paid by Seller.

3.3. Interest; Interest Rate; Payment. (a) The Note shall bear

interest (other than interest accruing as a result of a failure by Seller to pay

any amount when due as set forth in clause (b) below) at a rate equal to ten

(10%) percent (the "Interest Rate") per annum on a 360-day year. Interest (other

than interest accruing as a result of a failure by Seller to pay any amount when

any interest payable thereon shall not be repaid when due whether on the

applicable repayment date, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amounts

shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is three percent (3%) above the

Interest Rate (i.e., 13%) from the date of such non-payment until such amount is

paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(c) All payments to be made by Seller hereunder or pursuant to

the Note shall be made, without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the

United States by check or wire transfer in immediately available funds.

3.4. Conversion. (a) Subject to Sections 3.4(b) and 3.5 hereof, at any

time prior to the Maturity Date, the Seller shall have the option to convert the

entire principal and interest accrued and owing on the Note, or any portion of

the principal and/or interest thereof, into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of

Common Stock at the Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, "Conversion Price"

shall mean $2.40 per share; PROVIDED, that if at any time on or after the

issuance date of the Note, Seller subdivides (by any stock split, stock

dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its

shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then after the date of

record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price shall be

proportionately reduced, or if Seller combines (by reverse stock split,

recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of

Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price shall be

proportionately increased.

Upon conversion, Buyer shall be entitled to receive the number of Conversion

Shares calculated by dividing the amount being converted by the Conversion

Price. No fractional shares of Conversion Shares shall be issued upon

conversion. In lieu of any fractional shares to which Buyer would otherwise be

entitled, Seller shall pay cash in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied

by the Conversion Price. The Note shall not be subject to automatic conversion

or to any conversion at the option of Seller.

(b) Notwithstanding the provision of Section 3.4(a), if an equity

security or other derivative security convertible or exercisable into an equity

security of the Company ("Applicable Security") is sold in connection with a

Qualified Financing (as hereinafter defined) at any time prior to payment in

full of the principal balance of the Note, all of the principal and interest due

thereunder shall automatically become converted into the Applicable Security

with the same rights and privileges granted to investors in the Qualified

Financing. The number of Applicable Securities received upon conversion pursuant

to this Section 3(b) shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal

amount due under the Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest to the

date of conversion, by the price per Applicable Security paid in the Qualified

Financing. For the purposes of the Note, a "Qualified Financing" shall mean the

Company's next private financing of Applicable Securities to investors (i)

yielding aggregate gross proceeds (exclusive of conversion of the Note) to the

Company of at least $500,000 and (ii) which does not invoke or trigger the

provisions of Section 4(b) of the Debentures or Section 6(c) of the Warrants (as

such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

3.5. Conversion Procedures. In order to exercise the conversion rights

set forth in Section 3.4(a) hereof, Buyer shall surrender the Note,

appropriately endorsed, to Seller at Seller's principal office, accompanied by

written notice to Seller setting forth the amount of principal and interest to

be converted, the name or names (with address(es)) in which the Conversion

Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be issued and registered on the books

of Seller. For purposes hereof, the "Conversion Date" shall be deemed to be the

date the Note and notice is received by Seller for conversion. Within five (5)

business days after the Conversion Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) a

stock certificate for the Conversion Shares or (ii) a notice

<PAGE>

certified by Seller's Secretary that the Conversion Shares due on such

conversion have been issued to and registered on the books of Seller in the name

or names specified by Buyer. In the case of conversion of less than the entire

principal of and interest under the Note, Seller shall cancel said Note and

shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor for the unconverted amount of

the Note dated the date of execution by Seller upon initial issuance of the Note

notwithstanding any subsequent substitution.

3.6. Subordination. The Note is expressly and fully subordinated, as

to payment and liquidation, to the payment in full of the Debentures and the

Obligations (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and

the holder of the Note acknowledges and agrees that the Seller is expressly

restricted from pre-paying any amounts in respect of the principal of the Note

(upon acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full of the Debentures. The

holder of this Note shall not commence any judicial or other collection efforts

or exercise any other remedies prior to the date that is ninety-one (91) days

following the payment in full of the Debentures. The Note is, and is intended to

be, "Subordinated Debt" as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase

Agreement.

3.7. Prepayment Rights Upon Merger, Consolidation, etc. (a) If, prior

to the Conversion Date, but subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 above,

Seller proposes to consolidate with, or merge into, another corporation or

entity, or to effect any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of

all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or effect any other corporate

reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Seller immediately prior to

such consolidation, merger or reorganization own capital stock of the entity

surviving such merger, consolidation or reorganization representing less than

fifty (50%) percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities

of such entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization

(collectively, a "Liquidation Event"), then Seller shall provide Buyer with at

least ten (10) days' prior written notice of any such proposed action, and Buyer

will, at its option, have the right to demand immediate prepayment of all

amounts due and owing under the Note. Buyer will give Seller written notice of

such demand within five (5) days after receiving notice of the Liquidation

Event. All amounts (including all accrued and unpaid interest) due and owing

under the Note shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within five (5) days from the

date of such written notice via federal funds wire transfer(s) of immediately

available funds, in accordance with written instructions to be provided to

Seller by Buyer within at least two (2) business days after giving Seller such

written notice. The provisions of this Section 3.7(a) shall similarly apply to

successive consolidations or mergers.

(b) Except as set forth in Sections 3.6, 3.7(a) and 9 hereof, Seller

shall not prepay prior to the Maturity Date all or part of this Note without the

express written consent of Buyer.

3.8 Intentionally Deleted

3.9 Assurances With Respect of Conversion Rights. Seller shall not, by

amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or through any

reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or

sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the

observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed

hereunder by Seller but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying

out of
