     This Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the "Note") made by Borrower in
favor of the Company, is issued in substitution and exchange for, and not in
satisfaction or payment of, and shall represent an amendment and restatement of,
the Senior Management Promissory Note, dated December 17, 2000 (the "Original
Note"). Nothing herein contained shall be construed to deem such Original Note
paid, or to release or terminate any lien or security interest given to secure
such Original Note, which liens and security interests, if any, shall continue
to secure such indebtedness as evidenced by this Note.

     For value received, the Borrower promises to pay to the Company, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the principal sum of $211,476.69 (the
"Principal Amount"). Principal payments required to be made under this Note
shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates set forth on the amortization
schedule attached hereto. Borrower promises to pay interest to the order of the
Company on the unpaid Principal Amount hereof at the rate of 7% per annum.
Interest shall accrue from the date hereof until this Note is paid in full and
shall be payable on the principal payment dates set forth on the amortization
schedule attached hereto; provided, however, that interest due under this Note
on the first interest payment date following the date hereof shall include, in
addition to the interest that shall have accrued on this Note through such date,
interest that accrued on the Original Note from the interest payment date
immediately preceding the date hereof on which accrued interest was payable
under the Original Note through but not including the date hereof. Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year in accordance with the actual
number of days elapsed. In no event shall interest charged hereunder, in
whatever manner such rate of interest may be characterized or computed, exceed
the highest rate permissible under applicable law.
