                  such interest payment is due shall accrue interest from and
                  after the date such interest payment was due (including due to
                  the fact that it was accrued in accordance with this Section
                  1.1) at the same rate of interest as payable on the unpaid
                  principal balance of this Note, and shall be paid on the same
                  date on which any interest accrued on the unpaid principal
                  balance of this Note is paid.

                  (c) A new Section 1.9 shall be added to the Existing Note

                        have the right, at any time on or after the date on
                        which the Company has repaid all of its obligations
                        under the Senior Credit Agreement to make a demand for
                        payment of the

                        and interest on, this Note shall become due and payable.

            3. Covenant of the Company. The Company agrees that, notwithstanding
Section 1.6 of the Existing Note, for as long as the Existing Note is held by
Herrick, the Company will not prepay the Existing Note, in whole or in part,
unless the Company provides Herrick 90 days prior written notice of such
prepayment.

            4. Preferred Stock Exchange. In the event the Company and Herrick
mutually determine to exchange the debt represented by the Existing Note for
equity securities of the Company, in lieu of converting the Existing Note

Company, and otherwise shall have substantially similar rights, preferences and
privileges as, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, provided
that the conversion rate of the preferred stock shall be the same as the
conversion rate of the Existing Note in effect at such time.

shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto.

the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument, facsimile signatures shall e effective and binding as original
