were issued to the Lender pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2002 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”),
between the Company and the Lender. THIS NOTE IS SECURED BY THE GRANT OF A

PURCHASE AGREEMENT. THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITH
CERTAIN LENDERS OF THE COMPANY A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY

shall be payable by the Company to the Lender under this Note.

2. Principal Repayments. The Company shall repay the entire outstanding Face
Amount on March 31, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”).

3. Repayment Extension. If any payment under this Note shall be due on a
Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banks in the State of California are
required or permitted to be closed, such payment shall be made on the next day
on which such banks are not required or permitted to be closed and such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest under this Note.

4. Manner and Application of Payments. All payments due hereunder shall be paid
in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender in
payment of all debts and dues, public and private, in immediately available
funds, without offset, deduction or recoupment. Any payment by check or draft
shall be subject to the condition that any receipt issued therefore shall be
ineffective unless the amount due is actually received by the Lender. Each

expenses incurred by or payable to the Lender in connection with the collection
or enforcement of this Note, second to the payment of all unpaid late charges
(if any), and third, to the payment of the Face Amount, or in any other manner

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) In the event the Company consummates a Sale Transaction (as defined below),
this Note shall be prepaid in full by the Company on or before the closing of
such Sale Transaction by payment of the amount set forth in clause (b) below to
Lender.

(b) In the event the Company must prepay this Note under subsection
(a) immediately above (i) the Company shall pay to the Lender the sum of
(i) $4,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of Prepaid Principal (as defined in
Section 6) previously paid by the Company to the Lender (the “Outstanding
Principal”), (ii) a deemed interest rate component equal to the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the Outstanding Principal from the date of
issuance of this Note through the date of prepayment of such Note (assuming an
annual interest rate of 12%, compounded annually, and a 360 day year) and
(iii) an interest penalty component which shall equal 20% of the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the Outstanding Principal for such Note
between the date of prepayment and the Maturity Date (assuming for this purpose
only a deemed annual interest rate of 15%, compounded annually, and a 360 day
year). Upon such prepayment, the Company shall not thereafter be obligated to
pay, and the Lender shall not thereafter be entitled to receive payment of, the
Face Amount.

(c) For purposes of this Section 5, a “Sale Transaction” shall be defined to
include any merger, consolidation, or other business combination in which
beneficial ownership of securities representing in the aggregate in excess of
50% of the voting power of the Company are transferred, or a sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets.

6. Voluntary Prepayment.

(a) The Company may prepay this Note in full or in part (provided, however, that
no partial prepayments of this Note shall be allowed in amounts less than
$250,000) at any time prior to the Maturity Date upon the provision of ten
(10) days prior written notice to the Lender, consistent with the requirements
of subsection (b) below.

(i) that amount of principal which the Company elects to prepay under this Note
(the “Prepaid Principal”), (ii) a deemed interest rate component equal to the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the Prepaid Principal from the
date of issuance of this Note through the date of partial prepayment of such
Note (assuming an annual interest rate of 12%, compounded annually, and a 360
day year) and (iii) an interest penalty component which shall equal 20% of the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the Prepaid Principal for such
Note between the date of prepayment and the Maturity Date (assuming for this
purpose only a deemed annual interest rate of 15%, compounded annually, and a
360 day year). Upon such prepayment, the Face Amount of this Note shall
thereupon automatically and without further action by any party be reduced for
all purposes hereunder to the product of (x) the Face Amount immediately prior
to such voluntary prepayment and (y) the quotient of the Prepaid Principal and
$4,000,000.

7. Automatic Modification of Note Repayment Terms Upon Lender Default. In the
event the Company desires to consummate an Additional Closing and has otherwise
fulfilled the requirements for consummation of such Additional Closing,

Note Purchase Agreement related thereto, and the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lender fails to consummate the purchase of the Additional Note associated with
such Additional Closing desired by the Company (a “Lender Default”), the Lender
shall have no right to receive payment from the Company, and the Company shall
have no obligation to pay the Lender, the Face Amount upon the Maturity Date,
and, in lieu thereof, the sole obligation of the Company under this Note shall
be to pay the Outstanding Principal to the Lender, either on or prior to the
Maturity Date (at the election of the Company). The special rights of the
Company under this Section 7 in the event of a Lender Default shall be in
addition to the rights of the Company to cancel the Warrants issued by the
Company to the Lender in connection with this Note.

8. Rights and Remedies upon Default by the Company. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion
and without notice to the Company, may: (a) declare the entire outstanding Face
Amount due under this Note, to be immediately due and payable, and the same
shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand
or notice, which are hereby expressly waived; (b) exercise its right of setoff
against any money, funds, credits or other property of any nature whatsoever of
the Company now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or
from, under the control or custody of or on deposit with, Lender or any
affiliate of Lender in any capacity whatsoever, including, without limitation,
any balance of any deposit account and any credits with Lender or any affiliate
of Lender; and (c) exercise any or all rights, powers and remedies provided for
in the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute
or otherwise.

9. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of Lender hereunder, under
the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent, and the exercise or beginning of
the exercise of any one or more of them shall not preclude the simultaneous or
later exercise by Lender of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies. No
failure or delay by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any one or
more provisions of this Note or of the Loan Documents or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof or default hereunder shall
constitute a waiver thereof or preclude Lender from exercising any such right,
power or remedy.

10. Collection Expenses. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to Lender upon demand all costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, all attorney’s fees and court costs
incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement or collection of this Note
(whether or not any action has been commenced by Lender to enforce or collect
this Note) or in successfully defending any counterclaim or other legal
proceeding brought by the Company contesting Lender’s right to collect amounts
due hereunder. All of such costs and expenses shall bear interest at the higher
of the rate of interest provided herein or any default rate of interest provided
herein, from the date of payment by Lender until repaid in full.

11. Interest Rate After Judgment. If judgment is entered against the Company on
this Note, the amount of the judgment entered (which may include principal,
interest, fees, and costs) shall bear interest at the higher of: (a) any default
rate of interest provided herein; or (b) the legal rate of interest then
applicable to judgments in the jurisdiction in which judgment was entered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or the
Loan Documents to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to pay
interest pursuant to this Note in excess of the maximum rate of interest
permitted by the laws of any state determined to govern this Note or the laws of
the United States applicable to loans in such state. If any provisions of this
Note shall ever be construed to require the payment of any amount of interest in
excess of that permitted by applicable law, then the interest to be paid
pursuant to this Note shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed
under applicable law and any sums paid in excess of the interest rate allowed by
law shall be applied in reduction of the principal balance outstanding pursuant
to this Note. The Company acknowledges that it has been contemplated at all
times by the Company that the laws of the State of California will govern the
maximum rate of interest that it is permissible for Lender to charge the Company
pursuant to this Note. Company represents that to the best of its knowledge the
usury laws of California do not apply to this transaction due to the exemption
in Section 25118 of the California Corporations Code, and Company is not aware
of any law of the State of California that would apply to this transaction that
would have the effect of imposing a maximum rate of interest or otherwise
requiring a reduction as provided in this Section 12.

13. Certain Waivers by the Company. The Company waives demand, presentment,
protest and notice of demand, of non-payment, of dishonor and of protest of this
Note. Lender, without notice to or further consent of the Company and without in
any respect compromising, impairing, releasing, lessening or affecting the
obligations of the Company hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, may:
(a) release, surrender, waive, add, substitute, settle, exchange, compromise,
modify, extend or grant indulgences with respect to (i) this Note, (ii) any of
the Loan Documents, and (iii) all or any part of any collateral or security for
this Note; (b) complete any blank space in this Note according to the terms upon
which the loan evidenced hereby is made; and (c) grant any extension or other
postponements of the time of payment hereof.

14. Choice of Law; Forum Selection; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Note shall be
governed by, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of California (excluding the choice of law rules thereof). The Company hereby
(a) agrees that all disputes and matters whatsoever arising under, in connection
with, or incident to this Note shall be litigated, if at all, in and before a
court located in the State of California to the exclusion of the courts of any
other state or country, and (b) irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any California court or federal court sitting in the State of
California in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note,
and hereby irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such
action or proceeding in any such court and any claim that any such action or
proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other
jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

15. Subsequent Holders. In the event that any holder of this Note transfers this
Note for value, the Company agrees that except with respect to subsequent
holders with actual knowledge of a claim or defense, no subsequent holder of
this Note shall be subject to any claims or defenses which the Company may have
against a prior holder (which claims or defenses are not waived as to prior
holders), all of which are waived as to the subsequent holder, and that all such
subsequent holders shall have all of the rights of a holder in due course with
respect to the Company even though the subsequent holder may not qualify, under
applicable law, absent this paragraph, as a holder in due course.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Invalidity of Any Part. If any provision or part of any provision of this
Note shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision (or any remaining part of any provision) of this Note, and this
Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
(or part thereof) had never been contained in this Note, but only to the extent
of its invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.

17. Service of Process. The Company hereby consents to process being served in
any suit, action or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by the
mailing of a copy thereof to the Company by certified mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested. The Company hereby irrevocably agrees that such
service shall be deemed to be service of process upon the Company in any such
suit, action or proceeding. Nothing in this Note shall affect the right of
Lender to serve process in any other manner otherwise permitted by law, and
nothing in this Note will limit the right of Lender otherwise to bring
proceedings against the Company in the courts of any other jurisdiction or
jurisdictions.

18. Notice. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which Lender or
the Company may be required to give hereunder shall be in writing, shall be
effective and deemed received the following business day when sent by overnight
mail, upon transmission if sent by facsimile or e- mail, or the third business
day after deposited in first class United States mail, postage prepaid, and

this Note to another Person at any time and from time to time. The Company
hereby covenants and agrees to take all steps reasonably requested by Lender to
document and effect such transfer of the Lender’s rights under this Note.

headings of this Note are for convenience only, and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof. This Note and the Loan Documents constitute the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter and
supersede all prior letters, representations or agreements, oral or written,
with respect thereto. No modification, release or waiver of this Note shall be
deemed to be made by Lender unless in writing signed by Lender, and each such
waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved.

any provisions of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents. This Note shall
