a Delaware corporation, (the "Maker") hereby promises to pay to the order of

                  1. Principal and interest on this Note shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at

Note).

                  2. This Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount of this Note commencing on the date of this Note at a rate of 13% per

be payable on the Final Maturity Date.

                  3. This Note may be prepaid, at the option of the Maker, in
whole or in part at any time upon five (5) days advance notice to the Payee. Any
prepayment of this Note shall be without premium, but shall include the payment
of accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to and including the date of
prepayment. Any partial prepayment will not postpone the due date of any
interest or principal payable pursuant to this Note.

                  4. The unpaid principal sum of this Note, together with all
accrued interest thereon and all other amounts that may become due in accordance
with the provisions of this Note, shall, at the option of the Payee, become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest, or any demand or
notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Maker), if any of the
following events of default (each an "Event of Default") shall occur and be
continuing:

                  (a) The Maker shall fail to pay when due any amount payable
         pursuant to this Note;

                  (b) The Maker shall apply for, consent to, or acquiesce in the
         appointment of a trustee, receiver, or other custodian for the Maker or
         a substantial portion of its property or makes a general assignment for
         the benefit of its creditors or, in the absence of an application,
         consent, or acquiescence, a trustee, receiver, or other custodian is
         appointed for the Maker or for a substantial part of its property and

         pay its debts as they mature, (iv) make a general assignment for the
         benefit of its creditors, (v) seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the
         appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, fiscal agent, or
         similar fiduciary, regardless how designated, for all or a substantial
         part of its business or property, (vi) be or become a party to a
         bankruptcy, winding up, reorganization, insolvency, arrangement, or
         similar proceeding instituted by or against any of the Maker under the
         laws of any jurisdiction, which proceeding, if involuntary in nature,
         has not been dismissed within 60 calendar days, (vii) take any action
         approving of, consenting to, or acquiescing in, any such proceeding,
         (viii) be a party to the levy of any distress, execution, or attachment
         upon the assets or property of the Maker that substantially interferes
         with the Maker's performance under this Note, or (ix) take any action
         (formal or informal) leading to its dissolution, liquidation, or
         termination;

                  5. If an Event of Default occurs, Payee, without further
demand of the Maker, may accelerate the maturity of this Note, declare the
entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and any accrued interest on it to be
immediately due and payable, and otherwise proceed to protect its rights in the
manner provided by applicable law. In addition, if an Event of Default shall
occur, the Maker shall pay to Payee, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred
by Payee in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Note or any
judgment on it, including all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of experts,

whether incurred before or after demand for payment of commencement of a legal
proceeding, and whether incurred before or after commencement of a legal
proceeding, and whether incurred pursuant to trial, appellate, mediation,

unless the Maker prevails in the defense of any legal proceeding instituted by
Payee to collect or enforce this Note, in which case Payee shall reimburse the
Maker for all the foregoing costs and expenses incurred by them in connection
with the proceeding.

                  6. The failure of Payee to insist on strict performance of the
terms and conditions of this Note shall not be construed or deemed to be a
waiver of any such term or condition.

                  7. The Maker represents and warrants to the Payee that this
Note is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each of the Maker,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
