         5.1 Binding Obligation. The Lender has full legal capacity, power and

         5.2 Securities Law Compliance. The Lender has been advised that this
Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

The Lender is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such
registration with respect to this Note or to file for or comply with any

other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for
relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within
sixty (60) days of commencement.

7. RIGHTS OF THE LENDER UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence or existence of any
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 6.3 and
6.4) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default,
the Lender may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding
Obligations payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event
of Default described in Sections 6.3 and 6.4, immediately and without notice,
all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition
to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of
Default, the Lender may exercise any other right, power or remedy otherwise
permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

8. CONVERSION.

         8.1 Optional Conversion. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the
Lender may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of
this Note, and, unless paid in cash by or on behalf of the Company, all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be
converted (the "Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing the
aggregate principal amount, and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, of
the Note by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of
such conversion. The "Conversion Price" shall be equal to $0.125 per share
(subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and other similar
transactions).

         8.2 Automatic Conversion. The outstanding principal balance of this
Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be automatically
converted upon the occurrence of a Company Sale into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock without any action by the Lender and
whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent. The
Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Conversion
Shares upon a Company Sale unless this Note is either delivered to the Company
or its transfer agent, or the Lender notifies the Company or its transfer agent
that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement
satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by
it in connection with this Note. The number of Conversion Shares into which this
Note shall be converted upon a Company Sale shall be determined by dividing the
aggregate principal amount, and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, of
the Note by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such conversion. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of
business of the date of closing of the Company Sale.

         8.3 Fractional Shares; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall
be issued upon conversion of this Note. Cash shall be paid to the Lender in lieu
of any fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note in full, the Company shall
be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

         8.4 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note
such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount and, if
applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, of the Note, without limitation of such

<PAGE>

other remedies as shall be available to the Lender of this Note, the Company
will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion
of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

         8.5 Adjustment to Conversion Price. In the event that the Company shall
at any time subdivide the outstanding securities into which this Note shall be
convertible, or shall issue a stock dividend on the securities into which this
Note shall be convertible, the number of Conversion Shares immediately prior to
such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be
proportionately increased, and the Conversion Price shall be proportionately
decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the
outstanding securities into which this Note shall be convertible, the number of
Conversion Shares immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
decreased, and the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased,
effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock
dividend or combination, as the case may be.

         8.6 Maturity. At the election of the Lender at any time after the
Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance of this Note and, unless paid
in cash by or on behalf of the Company, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall be automatically converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock. The number of Conversion Shares shall be determined by dividing
the aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest by the Conversion
Price in effect at the time of such conversion.

9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company will, until the earlier to occur of the
conversion or repayment in full of this Note, have authorized a sufficient
number of shares of each class or series of capital stock into which this Note
is convertible pursuant to Section 8 hereof and shall reserve for issuance upon
conversion hereof a sufficient number of shares thereof.

10. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If at any time, the Company proposes to register any of
its securities under the Securities Act (the "Act"), whether or not for its own
account (other than by a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4), it
shall give written notice to Lender of its intent to file a registration
statement and include in such registration statement that number of Conversion
Shares held by Lender to be included in such registration Statement, subject to
the limitations set forth in this Section 10 ("Piggyback Registration Rights").

         10.1 Underwritten Public Offerings. If The Company elects to register
its securities by or through an underwriter, the Lender may elect to sell its
Conversion Shares on the same terms and conditions as apply to other selling
shareholders or may elect not to have its Conversion Shares included in such
registration. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with the
registration of Lenders Conversion Shares pursuant to the Piggyback Registration
Rights.

         10.2 Priority in Piggyback Registration. The Company shall not be
required to include any Conversion Shares to the extent the managing underwriter
reasonably believes and advises Lender that inclusion of such shares would
materially adversely affect such offering; provided, however, that any such
reduction or elimination shall be pro rata among all other holders of Common
Stock exercising any registration rights in proportion to the respective number
of shares of Common Stock requested to be registered, if any.

11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in
Sections 13 and 14 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and the
Lender of this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns,
heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

12. WAIVER AND AMENDMENT. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or
modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Lender.

13. TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE OR SECURITIES ISSUABLE ON CONVERSION HEREOF. This Note
may not be sold, assigned or transferred by the Lender. With respect to any
offer, sale or other disposition of the securities into which this Note may be
converted, the Lender will give written notice to the Company prior thereto,
describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of the
Lender's counsel, or other evidence if reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected
without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in
effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion,
if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable,
shall notify the Lender that the Lender may sell or otherwise dispose of such

<PAGE>

securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the
Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 12 that the
opinion of counsel for the Lender, or other evidence, is not reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Lender promptly
after such determination has been made. Each certificate representing the
securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable
restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is
not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company
may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with
such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note or the
securities underlying this Note shall be registered upon registration books
maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company. Prior to
presentation of this Note or such securities for registration of transfer, the
Company shall treat the registered Lender hereof as the owner and holder of this
Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be
overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

14.ASSIGNMENT BY THE COMPANY. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests
or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in
whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the
Lender.

15.NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall in writing and faxed,

numbers of the parties. All such notices and communications shall be effective

mailed, by registered or certified mail, first class postage prepaid and
addressed as aforesaid through the United States Postal Service, upon receipt;
(C) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and (D) when faxed, upon confirmation
of receipt.

16. USURY. In the event any interest is paid on this Note that is deemed to be
in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest
payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be
deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

17. WAIVERS. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand
for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices
or demands relative to this instrument.

18. GOVERNING LAW. This Note and all actions arising out of or in connection
with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the conflicts of law
provisions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or of any other state.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Company has caused this Note to be issued as of
the date first written above.
