Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Buyer's
Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the

         (f) Prospectus Delivery Requirement. The Buyers understand that the
1933 Act requires delivery of a prospectus relating to the Conversion Shares and
the Warrant Shares in connection with any sale thereof pursuant to a
registration statement under the 1933 Act, and the Buyers shall comply with any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with
any such sale. The Company shall have the right to rely upon the Buyers'
agreement contained in this Section 4(f); therefore, with respect to any resale
of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares by the Buyers pursuant to a
registration statement, any certificate evidencing such Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares shall not contain a restrictive legend of any kind.

         (g) Intentional Acts or Omissions. No party shall intentionally perform
or fail to perform any act that, if performed or omitted to be performed, would
prevent or excuse the performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         (h) Expenses. At the Closing, the Company agrees to pay to, or at the
direction of, the Buyers an amount equal to the attorney's fees and other
expenses incurred by the Buyers in connection with the Buyers' due diligence
investigation, document preparation and escrow for the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

         (j) Corporate Status; Taxes. The Company shall, so long as the Buyers
hold any of the Securities, maintain its corporate existence in good standing
and shall pay all taxes when due except for taxes it reasonably disputes.

         (k) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall apply the Purchase Price as
follows: (i) to the costs of this transaction and (ii) the balance for working
capital.

         (l) Restrictions on Debt and Debt Payments. Until such time as the
Notes have been paid in full (i) the Company shall not make any payment on or
with respect to any debt, except trade payables and payments to its Senior
Lender, as defined in the Security Agreement, and (ii) the Company's total
indebtedness to the Buyers and its Senior Lender shall not exceed $4,250,000.

         (m) Right of First Refusal. Until such time as the Notes have been paid
in full, Instream Partners LLC shall have a right of first refusal to provide or
obtain any equity financing (i.e., a financing where the primary security being
sold is either an equity security or debt convertible into equity) required by
the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) on substantially the same terms as have
been specified in a term sheet or other document provided by a bona fide third
party financing source, such right to be exercised within five (5) business days
after Instream Partners LLC receives from the Company a copy of such term sheet
or other document.

         (n) Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information.

                  (i) After the Closing, the Company shall in no event disclose
non-public information to any Buyer or his or its advisors or representatives
unless, prior to such disclosure, the Company marks such information as
"Non-Public Information - Confidential" and provides the Buyer and such advisors
and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing
any non-public information hereunder, require a Buyer and his or its advisors
and representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Buyer.

                  (ii) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to any Buyer or his or its advisors or representatives
after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
will immediately notify the Buyers, and any persons who may then be acting as
underwriters to the Company, of any event or the existence of any circumstance
(without any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which
it becomes aware, constituting non-public information (whether or not requested
of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by
the Buyers and/or any other persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the
prospectus included in a registration statement to be filed pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that persons or
entities other than the Buyers may not obtain non-public information in the
course of conducting due diligence with respect to a registration statement, and
nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the
Company of their opinion that, based upon such due diligence by such persons or
entities, that such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in such
registration statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         (o) Effect of Provision in the Notes. The Buyers agree that the
provision in Section 1 of the Notes with respect to payment upon the occurrence
of a Financing (as defined in the Notes) shall supercede the provision in
Section 1 of each of the Company's Subordinated Second Secured Convertible
Promissory Notes dated August 18, 2004 which reads as follows: "(ii) upon the
Company's receipt of equity or debt financing in excess of $500,000 from any
person or entity (excluding debt financing from Silicon Valley Bank and
financing involving the sale of other Subordinated Second Secured Convertible
Promissory Notes concurrently herewith), the Company shall immediately pay to
the Holder, as a payment on this Note, an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of
the amount of such financing or the amount needed to pay this Note in full."

         5.       LEGEND; TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS; RELATED MATTERS.

         (a) Transfer Agent Instructions. Promptly after receiving notice of
exercise of a Warrant, and in any event no more than three (3) trading days
after the Company's receipt of such notice of exercise, the Company shall
instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the
appropriate Buyer or his or its permitted nominee, for Warrant Shares in such
amounts as are specified in such notice. All such certificates shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement to the extent
required by applicable law and as specified in this Agreement or any documents
referenced herein. The Company represents and warrants that (i) no instructions
will be given by it to its transfer agent other than (A) the instructions
referred to in this Section 5 and (B) any stop transfer instructions required to
give effect to Section 2(f) hereof in the case of the Warrant Shares and (ii)
the Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent permitted by applicable law and
provided by this Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyers' obligations and
agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the
Warrant Shares. If a Buyer (i) provides the Company with an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Company that registration by such Buyer of his or its
Securities is not required under the 1933 Act in connection with a transfer
request, (ii) transfers any of his or its Securities to an affiliate which is an
accredited investor (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) or
(iii) transfers any of his or its Securities in compliance with Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act ("Rule 144"), then, in each instance, the Company
shall permit such transfer and, if applicable, promptly (and in all events
within three (3) trading days) instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         (b) Removal of Legend. Upon the transfer of a Security, the Legend
shall be removed from any certificate for such Security, and or a certificate
for a Security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, unless
otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the resale of such Security is
registered under the 1933 Act and such transfer is made pursuant to and in
accordance with such registration statement, (ii) the holder of such Security
provides the Company with an opinion by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that is in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be
made without registration under the 1933 Act and such Security in the hands of
the transferee will not be a "restricted security" as defined in Rule 144 or
(iii) such holder provides the Company with assurances reasonably satisfactory
to the Company and its counsel that such Security is being sold pursuant to Rule
144. Each Buyer agrees that any sale of his or its Securities, including those
represented by a certificate from which the Legend has been removed, or which
were originally issued without the Legend, shall be made only pursuant to an
effective registration statement (with delivery of a prospectus in connection
with such sale) or in compliance with an exemption from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act.

         (c) Exercise of Warrants. Each Buyer shall have the right to exercise
his or its Warrant by delivering a Notice of Exercise as provided in the
Warrant. Each date on which a Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company in
accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed an "Exercise Date." The
Company will transmit the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (along with a replacement Warrant
representing the amount of said Warrant not so exercised, if applicable) to the
Buyer or his or its designee via overnight courier within five (5) business days
after the relevant Exercise Date (with respect to each exercise, the
"Deadline"). Time is of the essence with respect to the requirements of the
immediately preceding sentence.

         (d) Injunctive Relief for Breach. The Company acknowledges that a
breach of its obligations under Sections 5(a), 5(b) and/or 5(c) above will cause
irreparable harm to the Buyers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company agrees that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under such Sections would be
inadequate and agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company, the Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies at law
or in equity, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate
issuance and/or transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         (e) Liquidated Damages for Non-Delivery of Certificates. In addition to
the provisions of Section 5(d) above, the Company understands and agrees that
any delay in the issuance of certificates beyond the Deadline will result in
substantial economic loss and other damages to each applicable Buyer; provided
that during the resolution of any dispute under Section 2(e) of the Warrant, the
Deadline as to those shares of Common Stock subject to such dispute shall be
suspended. As partial compensation to each such Buyer for such loss, the Company
agrees to pay liquidated damages (which the Company acknowledges is not a
penalty) to each such Buyer for issuance and delivery of the certificates after
the Deadline, in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. of Business
Days Late" is defined as the number of business days beyond five (5) business
days from the date of delivery by the Buyer to the Company of a Notice of
Exercise or, if later, from the date on which all other necessary documentation
duly executed and in proper form required for exercise of the Warrant has been
delivered to the Company, but only if such necessary documentation has not been
delivered to the Company within the five (5) business day period after the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise):

         No. of Business Days Late         Liquidated Damages (in US$)
         -------------------------         ---------------------------

                  2                              $400
                  3                              $500

                  7                              $900
                  8                              $1,000
                  9                              $1,250
                  10                             $1,500
                  11+                            $1,750 + $1,000 for
                                                 each Business Day Late
                                                 beyond 11 days

         Subject to each Buyer's right, in his or its sole discretion, to add
accrued liquidated damages on to the principal amount of his or its Note (as
provided in the Note), the Company shall pay the applicable Buyer any liquidated
damages incurred under this Section 5(e) by certified or cashier's check upon
the earlier of (i) the issuance to such Buyer of the certificates with respect
to which the damages accrued or (ii) each monthly anniversary

                                       15
<PAGE>

of the receipt by the Company of such Buyer's Notice of Exercise, as the case
may be. Nothing herein shall limit a Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for
the Company's failure to issue and deliver certificates to the Buyer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or for breach by the Company of this
Agreement.

         6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The obligation of
the Company hereunder to sell the Notes and the Warrants at the Closing is
subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the
following conditions; provided, however, that these conditions are for the
Company's sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole
discretion:

         (a) The Buyers shall have (i) executed the Agreements (to the extent
required thereby) and (ii) delivered such documents or signature pages thereof

warranties that speak as of a specific date), and the Buyers shall have
performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied
or complied with by the Buyers at or prior to the Closing Date.

         (d) No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or
injunction shall have been enacted, entered or issued by any court or
governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory
organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby which
restricts or prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
herein.

         7. CONDITIONS TO THE BUYERS' OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The obligation of
the Buyers to purchase the Notes and Warrants is subject to the satisfaction, on
or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions; provided,
however, that these conditions are for the sole benefit of the Buyers and may be
waived by the Buyers at any time in their sole discretion:

         (a) The Company shall have (i) executed the Agreements and (ii)

         (c) The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date made and as of

agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied
or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyers may
require a certificate, executed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
and dated as of the Closing Date, to the foregoing effect and as to such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by the Buyers.

         (d) The Common Stock shall be authorized for quotation on the OTC
Bulletin Board (or listing on a national securities exchange or other market)
and trading in the Common Stock on such market shall not have been suspended by
the SEC or other relevant regulatory agency.

         (e) No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or
injunction shall have been enacted, entered or issued by any court or

"Warrants to Purchase Common Stock" (the "Replacement Warrants") that are

                                       17
<PAGE>

Expiration Date, upon written notice to the Company (the "Notice") by the
holders of a majority of the Warrants issued on August 18, 2004 (of which this
Warrant is one) and November 10, 2004, such holders may reset the Warrant
Exercise Price of all such Warrants to an amount equal to the closing price of
the Common Stock (as defined herein) on the trading day immediately preceding
the date of the Notice (as specified in the Notice) as quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board or such national securities exchange or other market on which the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted."

         8. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws. Service of process in any civil action relating
to or arising out of this Agreement (including all Exhibits or Schedules or any
addenda hereto) or the transactions contemplated herein may be accomplished in
any manner provided by law. The parties hereto agree that a final,
non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other
lawful manner.

         (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and signature pages from such counterparts have been delivered to the
Escrow Agent.

         (c) Headings; Interpretation. The headings of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference and shall not form a part of, or affect the
interpretation of this Agreement. As used herein, the masculine shall refer to
the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, as the context may require. As used
herein, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the words "herein,"
"hereunder" and "hereby," shall refer to this entire Agreement and not only to
the Section or paragraph in which such word appears. If any date specified
herein falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holiday, the date shall be
construed to mean the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or
public or legal holiday. For purposes of this Agreement, a "business day" is any
day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holiday. Each party intends
that this Agreement be deemed and construed to have been jointly prepared by the
parties. As a result, the parties agree that any uncertainty or ambiguity
existing herein shall not be interpreted against either of them.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         (d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in
that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

         (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the documents
referenced herein (which are incorporated herein by reference) contain the
entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein
and supercede all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings, written or
oral, with respect to such subject matter. Except as specifically set forth
herein, neither the Company nor any of the Buyers makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of
this Agreement shall be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing
signed by the party to be charged with enforcement. No delay or omission of any
party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a
waiver of such right or remedy, and no waiver as to any obligation shall operate
as a continuing waiver or as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

         (f) Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the
terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by U. S. Mail or delivered
personally or by overnight courier or via facsimile (if via facsimile, to be
followed within one (1) business day by an original of the notice document via
overnight courier) and shall be effective (i) five (5) days after being placed
in the mail, if mailed, certified or registered, return receipt requested, (ii)
upon receipt, if delivered personally or (iii) one (1) day after facsimile
transmission or delivery to a courier service for overnight delivery, in each
case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses for such
communications shall be as follows:

If to the Company:       Return on Investment Corporation
                         1825 Barrett Lakes Boulevard, Suite 260
                         Kennesaw, Georgia 30144
                         Telephone: (770) 517-4750

<PAGE>

         (g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. Neither the Company nor any Buyer shall assign this Agreement
or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and, in any event, any
assignee of a Buyer shall be an accredited investor (as defined in Regulation
D), in the written opinion of counsel who is reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable, a Buyer may assign his or its
rights hereunder to any of his or its "affiliates," as that term is defined in
Rule 405 of the 1933 Act, without the consent of the Company; provided, however,
that (i) any suchassignment shall not release such Buyer from his or its
obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such affiliate and
(ii) no such assignment shall be made unless it is made in accordance with any
applicable securities laws. Any request for consent to an assignment made
hereunder by a Buyer shall be accompanied by a legal opinion in form, substance
and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such assignment is proper
under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Buyers may pledge all or any part of their Securities as collateral for a bona
fide loan pursuant to a security agreement with a third party lender, and such
pledge shall not be considered an assignment in violation of this Agreement so
long as it is made in compliance with all applicable laws.

         (h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other person.

         (i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8(l)
below, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers
contained herein, and the agreements and covenants set forth herein, shall
survive the Closing.

         (j) Publicity. The Company and the Buyers shall have the right to
review, before issuance by the other, any press releases or other public
statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that the Company shall be entitled, without prior consultation with or
approval of the Buyers, to make any press release or other public disclosure
with respect to such transactions that is required by applicable law or
regulations.

                                       20
<PAGE>

         (k) Further Assurance. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, at his or its expense, all such further acts and things, and
shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments
and documents, as another party may reasonably request in order to carry out the
intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         (l) Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred
on or before November 30, 2004, this Agreement may be terminated at any time
thereafter by written notice from one party to the others. Such termination
shall not be the sole remedy for a breach of this Agreement by the non-breaching
party, and each party shall retain all of his or its rights hereunder at law or
in equity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a party whose breach
of a covenant or representation and warranty or failure to satisfy a condition
prevented the Closing shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement.

         (m) Remedies. No provision of this Agreement providing for any specific
remedy to a party shall be construed to limit such party to the specific remedy
described, and that any other remedy that would otherwise be available to such
party at law or in equity shall also be available. The parties also intend that
the rights and remedies hereunder be cumulative, so that exercise of any one or
more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the later or concurrent
exercise of any other rights or remedies.

         (n) Attorney's Fees. If any party to this Agreement shall bring any
action for relief against the other arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, in addition to all other remedies to which the prevailing party may
be entitled, the losing party shall be required to pay to the prevailing party a
reasonable sum for attorney's fees and costs incurred in bringing such action
and/or enforcing any judgment granted therein, all of which shall be deemed to
have accrued upon the commencement of such action and shall be paid whether or
not such action is prosecuted to judgment. Any judgment or order entered in such
action shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of
attorney's fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment. For the purposes
of this Section, attorney's fees shall include, without limitation, fees
incurred with respect to the following: (i) post-judgment motions, (ii) contempt
proceedings, (iii) garnishment, levy and debtor and third party examinations,
(iv) discovery and (v) bankruptcy litigation.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Buyers and the Company have caused this

SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE
ABSENCE OF EITHER (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES
UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS OR (II) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND

             SUBORDINATED SECOND SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
                              DUE FEBRUARY 1, 2005

         This Subordinated Second Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the
"Note") is issued by Return on Investment Corporation, a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
"Company"), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") entered into concurrently herewith by and between the Company and
Oceanus Value Fund, L.P., R Capital II, Ltd., Christopher W. Allick, Granite
Hill Capital Ventures LLC, OM Capital, LLC and Todd Selix Blankfort
(collectively, the "Buyers").

         1. Payment Obligation. For value received, the Company promises to pay
to [ ] or its permitted successors and assigns (collectively, the "Holder") (i)
the principal amount of [ ] Dollars ($ ) (to which may be added any liquidated
damages

<PAGE>

that accrue pursuant to the terms of the Agreement) and (ii) interest on such
principal amount as provided below. The principal amount of this Note, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full on
February 1, 2005 (the "Maturity Date"); provided, however, that (i) this Note
shall be paid in full upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Company's
sale or other divestiture (whether by merger or otherwise) of all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of GO Software, Inc. (the "GO Software
Transaction") and (ii) upon the Company's receipt of equity or debt financing in
excess of $500,000 from any person or entity (excluding debt financing from
Silicon Valley Bank and financing involving the sale of other Subordinated
Second Secured Convertible Promissory Notes concurrently herewith) (a
"Financing"), the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder, as a payment on
this Note and any other Subordinated Second Secured Convertible Promissory
Note(s) payable by the Company to the Holder (collectively, the "Holder Notes"),
an amount equal to (A) the amount of the Financing in excess of $500,000
multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount
(including any accrued interest) then owed by the Company with respect to the
Holder Notes (the "Total Amount") and the denominator of which is the Total
Amount plus the total amount (including any accrued interest) then owed by the
Company with respect to all other Subordinated Second Secured Convertible
Promissory Notes issued by the Company on August 18, 2004, and the date hereof;
provided, however that the amount payable to the Holder pursuant to the
foregoing shall not exceed the amount needed to pay the Holder Notes in full.
Interest on this Note in the amount of [ ] Dollars ($ ) to the Maturity Date
shall be pre-paid by the Company upon execution hereof (which pre-payment shall
be non-refundable). Accrual of interest on the outstanding principal amount
shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until full payment of the
outstanding principal amount has been made or duly provided for. Payments on
this Note are payable to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more
successor Notes) is registered on the records of the Company regarding
registration and transfer of this Note (the "Note Register"); provided, however,
that the Company's obligation to a transferee of this Note arises only if such
transfer, sale or other disposition is made in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement. The Company may prepay the principal amount of this
Note at any time, without premium or penalty.

         2. Provisions as to Payment. Payments on this Note are payable in
immediately available funds in currency of the United States of America at the
address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in
writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company

                                       2

shall make payments on this Note, less any amounts required by law to be
deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note appearing of record as of the
fifth business day (as defined in the Agreement) prior to the applicable payment
date and addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the Note
Register. The forwarding of such funds shall satisfy and discharge liability on
this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such payment plus any amounts
so deducted or withheld. All payments under this Note shall be credited first to
reimburse the Holder for any cost or expense reimbursable hereunder, then to the
payment of accrued interest, and third to the payment of principal.

         3. Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all
payments of principal or interest pursuant to this Note any amounts required to
be withheld under applicable provisions of the United States income tax or other
applicable laws at the time of such payments.

         4. Transfer of Note; Opinion of Counsel; Legend.

         (a) This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of
the original Holder and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and applicable state
securities laws. Prior to presentment of this Note for transfer, the Company and
any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly
registered on the Note Register as the Holder hereof for the purpose of
receiving payments as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not
this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be
affected or bound by notice to the contrary.

         (b) The Holder understands and acknowledges by his or its acceptance
hereof that (i) this Note has not been, and is not being, registered under the
1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold,
assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) the
Holder shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory in form, substance and scope to the Company, to the effect that
this Note may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register this Note under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws
or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         5. Participation in Subsequent Financings. If, at any time while any
amount remains due and payable under this Note, the Company decides to proceed
with a financing of any kind other than one involving only debt or debt
securities with no equity security component (a "Financing", it shall not
proceed with such Financing until it has provided the Holder with all
documentation describing such Financing and an opportunity to participate as
provided herein. If, within ten (10) business days after the Holder's receipt of
the last of such Financing documentation and such other information regarding
the Financing as the Holder may request, the Holder gives written notice to the
Company that the Holder desires to participate in such Financing, the Company
shall thereafter take all actions as are necessary to allow the Holder's
participation in the Financing on the same terms as the other participants
through the conversion of this Note (or any other Note issued in replacement of
this Note) in whole or in part into the security to be issued in such Financing
at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price to be paid for such security by
other participants (not including other holders of notes substantially identical
to this Note) in the Financing on the basis of $1.00 of indebtedness under this
Note (including any unpaid interest) for each $1.00 of participation.

         6. Obligations of the Company Herein Are Unconditional. The Company's
obligations to repay this Note at the time, place, interest rate and in the
currency hereinabove stated are absolute and unconditional. This Note and all
other Notes now or hereafter issued in replacement of this Note on the same or
similar terms are direct obligations of the Company. This Note ranks equally
with (i) all other Notes issued pursuant to the Agreement and (ii) all
Subordinated Second Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company
to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 18,
2004.

         7. Waiver of Demand, Presentment, Etc. The Company hereby expressly

of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate,

sums owing and to be owing hereunder, regardless of and without any notice,
diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount
called for herein. No delay or omission of any Holder hereof in exercising any
right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any such right or remedy.
A waiver on one occasion shall not operate as a bar to, or waiver of, any such
right or remedy on any future occasions.

                                       4

         (c) If (i) the Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any

         (g) Any money judgment, writ or note of attachment, or similar process

then, or at any time thereafter, and in any and every such case, unless such

                                       6
<PAGE>

in one instance shall not be deemed to be a waiver in another instance or for
any other prior or subsequent Event of Default), at the option of the Holder and
in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may immediately accelerate the
maturity hereof, whereupon all principal and accrued interest and liquidated
damages (if any) hereunder shall be immediately due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Company, anything herein or in any other instrument to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and upon the
expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights
and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law or
equity. In the event of a default in any payment required under this Note, from
and after the date of default the Company agrees to pay, as liquidated damages
(and in addition to the interest specified in Section 1 above), an amount equal
to five percent (5%) of the amount then owing on this Note for every thirty (30)
days or portion thereof that passes from the date of default until the date the
required payment is received by the Holder.

         10. Security. Pursuant to the Security Agreement between the Company
and the Buyers dated August 18, 2004, as amended (the "Security Agreement"),
this Note is secured by a second-priority security interest in substantially all
of the Company's tangible and intangible assets (including intellectual
property) (collectively, the "Collateral"). A default under the terms of this
Note shall also constitute a default under the Security Agreement.

         11. Due on Sale Clause. If the Company shall sell, convey, transfer,
assign or further encumber the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest
therein, whether legal or equitable, in any manner (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily) not permitted under the Security Agreement, without the prior
written consent of the Holder, which consent the Holder shall have no obligation
to give, the Holder shall have the right, at his or its option, to declare this
Note immediately due and payable irrespective of the Maturity Date specified
herein. Any consent by the Holder to such a transfer may be predicated upon such
terms, conditions and covenants as may be deemed advisable or necessary in the
sole discretion of the Holder, including, but not limited to, the right to (i)
require the transferee's assumption of personal liability on the debt hereunder,
(ii) approve the form and substance of all transfer and assumption documents,
(iii) change the interest rate, date of maturity and amount and/or schedule of
payments hereunder and (iv) charge a fee based on a percentage of the original
principal amount of this Note. The granting of permission for a transferee of
the Collateral to assume this

                                       7
<PAGE>

Note shall not in any manner be deemed a consent to any subsequent transfer, and
the Holder shall retain the right to consent to such subsequent transfer or
transfers on the terms and conditions stated above. Consent to one such transfer
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right of such consent to further or
successive transfers. No assumption or consent to any subsequent transfer shall
be deemed to constitute a release of the Company's obligations hereunder.

         12. Enforceability; Maximum Interest Rate.

         (a) In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is
enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note,
the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and the Holder shall not be entitled
to charge, collect, receive, reserve or take interest ("interest" being defined,
for purposes of this paragraph, as the aggregate of all charges which constitute
interest under applicable law that are contracted for, charged, reserved,
received or paid under this Note) in excess of the maximum rate allowed by
applicable law. During any period of time in which the interest rate specified
herein exceeds such maximum rate, interest shall accrue and be payable at such
maximum rate. For purposes of this Note, the term "applicable law" shall mean
that law in effect from time-to-time and applicable to the transaction between
