                     The      following terms shall apply to this Note:      
 
**ARTICLE I      INTEREST & AMORTIZATION**

                    1.1          Interest      Rate and Payment. (a) Subject to Sections 4.9 and 5.6 hereof, interest      payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the "Interest      Rate") equal to the "prime rate" published in The Wall      Street Journal from time to time, plus three percent (3%). The prime      rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase      or decrease in the prime rate in an amount equal to such increase or      decrease in the prime rate; each change to be effective as of the day of      the change in such rate. Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section      1.1(b), in no event shall the Interest Rate will be less than seven      percent (7.00%). Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears commencing      on May 1, 2004, on the first day of each consecutive calendar month      thereafter (each, a "**Repayment Date**"), and on the      Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

 
                    1.1      (b) On the last business day of each month hereafter (each a "**Determination      Date**"), the Interest Rate shall be adjusted: if (i) the Company      shall have registered the shares of the Company's common stock underlying      the conversion of this Note and that certain warrant of even date herewith      to purchase up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder on a      registration statement declared effective by the SEC , and (ii) the volume      weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.      on the principal market for the 10 trading days immediately preceding a      Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price in      such percentages as outlined in the table below, the Interest Rate for the      succeeding calendar month shall automatically be adjusted as follows:

       ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------          100%      or less of Applicable Fixed Conversion PriceInterest Rate          125%      of the applicable Fixed Conversion PriceInterest Rate minus 0.25%          150%      of the applicable Fixed Conversion PriceInterest Rate minus 0.50%          175%      of the applicable Fixed Conversion PriceInterest Rate minus 0.75%;
 

          and      thereafter, for each 25% incremental increase in the Fixed Conversion      Price, the Interest Rate will be correspondingly reduced by twenty five      basis points (25b.p.), provided, however, that in no event      will the Interest Rate hereunder be reduced to less than 0.00%.

                    1.2      Minimum Monthly Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the      aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note at any time (the      "**Principal Amount**") shall begin on July 1, 2004 and shall      recur on the first calendar day of each succeeding month thereafter until      the Maturity Date (each, an "**Amortization Date**"). Subject      to Section 3.4 below, beginning on the first Amortization Date, the      Borrower shall make monthly payments to the Holder on each Repayment Date,      each in the amount of $22,727.27, together with any accrued and unpaid      interest to date on such portion of the Principal Amount plus any and all      other amounts which are then owing under this Note but have not been paid      (collectively, the "**Monthly Amount**").

 
**ARTICLE II      BORROWER PAYMENT OPTIONS**

                    2.1      (a) Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock. Subject to      the terms hereof, the Borrower shall have the sole option to determine      whether to satisfy payment of the Monthly Amount on each Repayment Date      either in cash or in shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase      Agreement), or a combination of both. Each month by the tenth (10th)      day of such month, the Borrower shall deliver to the Holder a written      irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto electing to      pay the Monthly Amount payable on the next Repayment Date in either cash      or Common Stock, or a combination of both (each, a "**Repayment      Election Notice**") (the date by which such notice is required to      be given being hereinafter referred to as the "**Notice Date**").      If a Repayment Election Notice is not delivered to the Holder by the      applicable Notice Date for such Repayment Date, then the Monthly Amount      due on such Repayment Date shall be paid in cash. Any portion of the      Monthly Amount paid in cash on a Repayment Date, shall be paid to the      Holder an amount equal to (x) 103% of the principal portion of the Monthly      Amount plus (y) any accrued and unpaid interest in satisfaction of such      obligation. If the Borrower repays all or a      portion of the Monthly Amount in shares of Common Stock, the number of      such shares to be issued for such Repayment Date shall be the number      determined by dividing (x) the portion of the Monthly Amount to be paid in      shares of Common Stock, by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes      hereof, the "**Fixed Conversion Price**" means $0.40.

 
2      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          (b)      Monthly Amount Common Stock Payment Guidelines. Subject to Sections      2.1(a) and 2.2 hereof, if the Borrower has elected to pay all or a portion      of the Monthly Amount due on such Repayment Date in shares of Common Stock      and the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.      on the Principal Market (as defined in Section 4.7 hereof) for any of the      ten (10) trading days preceding a Repayment Date was less than 110% of the      Fixed Conversion Price, then the Borrower shall pay in cash instead. Any      part of the Monthly Amount due on such Repayment Date that the Borrower      did not elect to pay in shares of Common Stock shall be paid by the      Borrower in cash on such Repayment Date. Any part of the Monthly Amount      due on such Repayment Date which the Borrower elected to pay in shares of      Common Stock but which must be paid in cash (as a result of the closing      price of the Common Stock on one or more of the five (5) trading days      preceding the applicable Repayment Date was less than 110% of the Fixed      Conversion Price) shall be paid within three (3) business days following      the applicable Repayment Date.

 
                    2.2      No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary      herein, the Borrower shall not repay any part of its obligations to the      Holder hereunder in Common Stock if (i) there fails to exist an effective      current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights      Agreement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection      with such payment, or (ii) an Event of Default hereunder exists and is      continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable      cure period or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in      part at the Holder's option.

 
                    2.3      Optional Prepayments in Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.2      hereof, if the average closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal      Market is greater than 110% of the Fixed Conversion Price for a period of      at least five (5) consecutive trading days, then the Borrower may, at its      sole option, provide the Holder written notice (a "**Prepayment****Call      Notice**") requiring the conversion at the then applicable Fixed      Conversion Price of all or a portion of the outstanding principal,      interest and fees outstanding under this Note (subject to compliance with      Section 2.3 and 3.2), together with accrued interest on the amount being      prepaid, as of the date set forth in such Prepayment Call Notice (the      "**Prepayment Call Date**"). The Prepayment Call Date shall      be at least ten (10) trading days following the date of the Prepayment      Call Notice. On the Prepayment Call Date, the Borrower shall deliver to      the Holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issued in      satisfaction of the principal and interest being prepaid. Notwithstanding      the foregoing, the Borrower's right to issue shares of Common Stock in      satisfaction of its obligations under this Note shall be subject to the      limitation that the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection      with any Prepayment Call Notice shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate      dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days      immediately preceding the Prepayment Call Date (as such volume is reported      by Bloomberg L.P.). If the price of the Common Stock falls below 110% of      the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price during the ten (10) trading day      period immediately preceding the Prepayment Call Date, then the Holder      will then be required to convert only such amount of the Note as shall      equal twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume (as      such volume is reported by Bloomberg L.P.) for each day that the Common      Stock has exceeded 110% of the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

 
3      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    The      Borrower shall not be permitted to give the Holder more than one      Prepayment Call Notice under this Note during any 22-day period.

 
                    Any      principal amount of this Note which is prepaid pursuant to this Section      2.3 shall be deemed to constitute payments of outstanding principal      applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Repayment Dates in      chronological order.

 
                    2.4      Optional Redemption in Cash. The Borrower will have the option of      prepaying this Note in full ("**Optional Redemption**") by      paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent      (115%) of the principal amount of this Note together with accrued but      unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable      to the Holder arising under this Note or the Purchase Agreement or any      Related Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the "**Redemption      Amount**") outstanding on the day written notice of redemption (the      "**Notice of Redemption**") is given to the Holder, which      Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional Redemption      (the "**Redemption Payment Date**"). A Notice of Redemption      shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which      the Holder has a pending election to convert pursuant to Section 3.1 and      the Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such election to convert      had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of      Redemption. The Redemption Payment Date shall not be earlier than the day      after the date of the Notice of Redemption and not later than seven (7)      days after the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment      Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder. In      the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount by the      Redemption Payment Date, then such Redemption Notice will be null and      void.

**ARTICLE III      CONVERSION RIGHTS**

                    3.1.      Holder's Conversion Rights. The Holder shall have the right, but      not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate      outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with interest and fees      due hereon, into shares of Common Stock subject to the terms and      conditions set forth in this Article III. The Holder may exercise such      right by delivery to the Borrower of a written notice of conversion not      less than one (1) day prior to the date upon which such conversion shall      occur. The date upon which such conversion shall occur is the "**Conversion      Date**".

 
                    3.2      Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to      the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the      terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of      Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of      shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or issuable upon      exercise of warrants held by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding      shares of Common Stock of the Borrower. For the purposes of the      immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined      in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3      thereunder. The Holder may void the Conversion Share limitation described      in this Section 3.2 upon 75 days prior notice to the Borrower or without      any notice requirement upon an Event of Default.

 
4      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    3.3      Mechanics of Holder's Conversion. (a) In the event that the Holder      elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give      notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of      conversion ("**Notice of Conversion**") to the Borrower and      such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail      of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees being converted. On      each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its      Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to      the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records      and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower within two (2)      business days after Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of      Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower in accordance with      the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the "**Conversion      Date**"). A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the      Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

 
                    (b)      Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue      instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel      within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Borrower of the      Notice of Conversion and, if the transfer agent is a participant in      Depository Trust Corporation, shall cause the transfer agent to transmit      the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by      crediting the account of the Holder's designated broker with the      Depository Trust Corporation ("**DTC**") through its Deposit      Withdrawal Agent Commission ("**DWAC**") system within three      (3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of      Conversion (the "**Delivery Date**"). In the event that the      transfer agent is not such a participant, the Borrower shall use best      efforts to cause a certificate representing the Conversion Shares to be      delivered to the Holder within three (3) business days. Unless the      transfer books of the Borrower should otherwise be closed (solely as      required by applicable securities law or the regulations of the Principal      Market) at the time of the receipt of such Notice of Conversion, in the      case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the      conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the      Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have      been issued upon the date of receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of      Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record      holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower      written instructions to the contrary. In the event that the transfer books      of the Borrower should be so closed (solely as required by applicable      securities law or the regulations of the Principal Market), the Holder      shall be deemed to hold the Conversion Shares commencing on the first date      upon which such transfer books are again open.

 
                    3.4      Conversion Mechanics.

 
                    (a)      The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of      this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal      and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable      Fixed Conversion Price. In the event of any conversions of outstanding      principal amount under this Note in part pursuant to this Article III,      such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of outstanding      principal amount applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Repayment      Dates in chronological order.

 
5      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    (b)      The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other      securities to be issued upon conversion is subject to adjustment from time      to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 
                    A.      Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common      Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of      shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in      shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion      Price, as the case may be, shall be proportionately reduced in case of      subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in      the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which      the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after      such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding      immediately prior to such event.

 
                    B.      During the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve      from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of      shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full      conversion of this Note. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such      shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The      Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full      authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged      with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and      issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the      conversion of this Note.

 
                    C.      Share Issuances. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4, if      the Borrower shall at any time prior to the conversion or repayment in      full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock to a person      other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to Subsections A or B above;      (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares      outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to Holder in writing; or (iii)      pursuant to options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock      option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Borrower) for      a consideration per share (the "Offer Price") less than the      Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the      Fixed Conversion Price shall be immediately reset to such lower Offer      Price. For purposes hereof, the issuance of any security of the Borrower      convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock shall      result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price at the time of      issuance of such securities.

 
                    D.      Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by      reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a      different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to      the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter      be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such      securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the      result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior      to such reclassification or other change.

 
                    3.5      Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a      new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at      the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the      principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been      converted or paid. The Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other      consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

 
6      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**ARTICLE IV      EVENTS OF DEFAULT**

          If      an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs and is continuing, the      Borrower's rights under Sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4 shall immediately cease      and be of no further effect until such time as the Event of Default has      been cured, or has been waived by the Holder. Upon the occurrence and      continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable grace period, the      Holder may make all sums of principal, interest and other fees then      remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder due and      payable within five business (5) days after written notice from Holder to      Borrower (each occurrence being a "**Default Notice Period**").      In the event of such an acceleration, the amount due and owing to the      Holder shall be 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note (plus      accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any). If, with respect to any      Event of Default other than a payment default described in Section 4.1      below, within the Default Notice Period the Borrower cures the Event of      Default, the Event of Default will be deemed to no longer exist and any      rights and remedies of Holder pertaining to such Event of Default will be      of no further force or effect.

 
                    The      occurrence of any of the following events is an "**Event of Default**":

 
                    4.1      Failure to Pay Principal, Interest or other Fees. The Borrower      fails to pay when due any installment of principal, interest or other fees      hereon in accordance herewith, or the Borrower fails to pay when due any      amount due under any other promissory note issued by Borrower.

 
                    4.2      Breach of Covenant. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or      other term or condition of this Note or the Purchase Agreement in any      material respect and such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a      period of thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof.

 
                    4.3      Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any material      representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein, in the Purchase      Agreement, or in any Related Document (as defined in the Purchase      Agreement) shall be materially false or misleading and shall not be cured      for a period of ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof.

 
                    4.4      Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower shall make an assignment for the      benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a      receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or      business; or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

 
                    4.5      Judgments. Any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall      be entered or filed against the Borrower or any of its property or other      assets for more than $250,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or      unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days.

 
                    4.6      Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation      proceedings or other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any      law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the      Borrower.

                    4.7      Stop Trade. An SEC stop trade order or Principal Market trading      suspension of the Common Stock shall be in effect for 5 consecutive days      or 5 days during a period of 10 consecutive days, excluding in all cases a      suspension of all trading on a Principal Market, provided that the      Borrower shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within      30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another      Principal Market within 60 days of such notice. The "Principal      Market" for the Common Stock shall include the NASD OTC Bulletin      Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American      Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is      at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock,      or any securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common      Stock is then being listed or traded.
