reamortized and recalculated as follows: the sum of (a) the unpaid principal
balance of this Note, and (b) Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand and no\100s Dollars
($650,000.00), shall be (i) increased by the unpaid balance of the Trust Note
after its maturity date, (ii) reduced by the amount of Liquidation Proceeds
available for application to this Note under paragraph 4.1.4(6) of the Loan
Agreement, and then (iii) divided by the number of calendar quarters remaining
prior to the maturity date of this Note. Should the payment described in
paragraph 4.5(b) of the Loan Agreement be made on or before October 15, 2002,

        3.3 Final Payment. All unpaid principal and all accrued unpaid interest
            -------------
and other sums due under this Note shall become due and payable on January 31,
2005.

        3.4 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. In the event any payment
            ---------------------------------
hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a regular business day of the Note
Holder, the due date of such payment will be extended to the next succeeding
business day of the Note Holder and interest will accrue during the interim.

     4. Default; Actions Relating To Note. If any installment or other payment
        ---------------------------------
required under this Note is not paid when due, and such default is not cured
within five (5) days after the due date of such payment, the entire principal
amount outstanding hereunder and all accrued unpaid interest and other charges
hereunder shall at once become due and payable, at the option of the Note
Holder. The Note Holder may exercise this option to accelerate during any Event
of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) regardless of any prior
forbearance. In the event of any default in the payment of this Note and
referral of the same to an attorney at law for collection (whether or not suit
is instituted), or the establishment or collection of any sums evidenced by this
Note through any bankruptcy, probate, receivership, reorganization, arrangement
or other judicial proceedings, or if any action at law or in equity is brought
with respect hereto, Borrower shall pay the Note Holder all its expenses and
costs incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of the Note Holder's attorneys, and any costs,
expenses and attorney's fees incurred in connection with appellate proceedings.
After any default under this Note or the Loan Agreement, the Note Holder may
accept any partial payment of the sums then due under this Note or the Loan
Agreement without prejudice to its right to collect the balance of the sums then
due and to enforce this Note and the Loan Agreement.

<PAGE>

Holder within five (5) days after the installment is due, Borrower shall pay to
the Note Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment for
the purpose of defraying the additional costs and expenses of collection, it
being impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual costs and expenses
to the Note Holder occasioned thereby. Such late charges shall be immediately
due and payable without demand by the Note Holder, and payment thereof shall, at
the Note Holder's option, be a condition precedent to curing any default
hereunder. The Note Holder's acceptance of subsequent installments without
having received any accrued late charges will not waive the Note Holder's right
to collect such late charges at any time thereafter, including if applicable,
upon maturity of this Note. During the existence of any default, the Note Holder
may apply payments received on any amount due hereunder or under the Loan
Agreement, as the Note Holder may determine in its discretion. No late charges
will be assessed after maturity of this Note, whether by acceleration, as
scheduled, or otherwise.

     6. Consents. From time to time, the Note Holder may take any Permitted
        --------

Borrower, or the successors or assigns of Borrower, if any, to pay the sums
evidenced by this Note and to observe and perform the covenants of Borrower
contained in this Note or the Loan Agreement, (b) without giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns, and (c)
without liability on the part of the Note Holder. As used herein the following

              evidenced hereby;

        (v)   the joinder with Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns, in
              the modification of any of the terms of this Note or the Loan
              Agreement;

        (vi)  the acceptance of an amended, restated, renewal and/or substitute
              promissory note as evidence of the indebtedness evidenced hereby;
              or

        (vii) the release of any or all collateral securing payment of this
              Note.

protest, and notice of protest are hereby waived by all makers, sureties and
guarantors hereof. Each party who is now or may hereafter become liable hereon
as a surety or guarantor, to the extent not prohibited by law, waives the
benefit of any law or rule of law intended for its advantage or protection as an
obligor hereunder or providing for its release or discharge from liability
hereon, in whole or in part, on account of any facts or circumstances other than

be entitled to terminate its obligations under the Loan Agreement, accelerate

Loan Agreement.

purpose. In the event any provision contained in this Note conflicts with
applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Note

the permitted limit, and (b) any sums already collected from Borrower which
exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to Borrower. The Note Holder may
choose to make such refund by reducing the principal balance of this Note or by
making a direct payment to Borrower. If a refund is made by reducing the
principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial prepayment.
