 material respects the financial condition of the Company and its
 Subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the consolidated results of
 their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended and, except as
 indicated therein, reflect all claims against and all Debts and liabilities
 of the Company and its Subsidiaries, fixed or contingent.  Since January 1,
 2002, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there has been (x) no material

 do business, fire, explosion, accident, casualty, labor  trouble, flood,
 drought, riot, storm, condemnation, act of God, public force or otherwise
 and (y) no material adverse change in the assets or liabilities, or in
 the business or condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of

 knowledge of the Company, is contemplated or threatened which might be
 reasonably expected to cause such a change in the future.

 no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
 threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary, before any court or

 challenges the validity of any Transaction Agreements.

 applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan.  No
 member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding
 standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed
 to make any required contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer

 other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any liability under
 Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under

 purchase, bonus, retirement, health or insurance plans, collectively the "
 Benefit Plans") relating to the employees of the Company are duly registered
 where required by, and are in good standing in all material respects under,
 all applicable laws.  All required employer and employee contributions under
 the Benefit Plans to the date hereof have been made, the respective fund or
 funds established under the Benefit Plans, if any, are funded in accordance
 with applicable laws, and no past service funding liabilities exist
 thereunder.

      (c)  No Benefit Plans have any unfunded liabilities, either on a
 "going concern" or "winding up" basis and determined in accordance with all
 applicable laws and actuarial practices and using actuarial assumptions and
 methods that are reasonable in the circumstances.  No event has occurred and
 no condition exists with respect to any Benefit Plans that has resulted or
 could reasonably be expected to result in any pension plan having its
 registration revoked or wound up (in whole or in part) or refused for the
 purposes of any applicable laws or being placed under the administration of
 any relevant pension benefits regulatory authority or being required to pay
 any taxes or penalties (in any material amounts) under any applicable laws.

 any Person or Persons so as thereby to cause the issuance or sale of any of
 the Securities to be in violation of any of the provisions of Section 5 of

 the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
 provide for the exercise in full of the Warrants and the issuance of the
 Warrant Shares (based on the exercise price of the Warrants) (collectively,
 the "Reserved Amount").  The Company shall not reduce the Reserved Amount
 without the prior written consent of Purchaser. If  at any time the number
 of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below
 the Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action
 necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including,
 without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize
 additional shares, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
 shares.

 Exercise, as applicable, the Company shall immediately issue irrevocable
 instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in
 the name of each Purchaser or its nominee, for the Warrant Shares in such
 amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company in
 such Notice.  Upon exercise of any Warrants in accordance with their terms,
 the Company will use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to, issue
 one or more certificates representing shares of Common Stock in such name
 or names and in such denominations specified by a Purchaser in a Notice
 of Exercise.  As long as the Registration Statement contemplated by the
 Registration Rights Agreement shall remain effective, the shares of Common
 Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be issued to any
 transferee of such shares from Purchaser, including transferee's of such
 shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, without any
 restrictive legend.  The Company further warrants and agrees that no
 instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to
 its transfer agent.  Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall affect in any way a
 Purchaser's obligation to comply with all securities laws applicable to such
 Purchaser upon exercise of any Warrant or on resale of any shares of Common
 Stock, including any prospectus delivery requirements.

 Securities,  information satisfying the information requirements of Rule 144

 Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of
 the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and
 shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to each Purchaser on or
 prior to the Closing Date.

                       ARTICLE 8.  NEGATIVE COVENANTS

     The Company hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof for so
 long as the Note remains outstanding and for the benefit of the Purchaser:

 ARTICLE 8.1  Limitations on Debt or Other Liabilities .  Neither the
 Company nor any Subsidiary will create, incur, assume or suffer to exist (at
 any time after the Closing Date, after giving effect to the application of
 the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities), without the prior written
 consent of Purchaser, any Debt except (w) Debt from Related Persons, (x)
 Debt incurred in a Permitted Financing, (y) Debt incurred in connection
 with equipment leases to which the Company or its Subsidiaries are a party
 incurred in the ordinary course of business; and (z) Debt incurred in
 connection with trade accounts payable, imbalances and refunds arising in
 the ordinary course of business.

 ARTICLE 8.2  Transactions with Affiliates .  The Company and each
 Subsidiary will not, directly or indirectly, pay any funds to or for
 the account of, make any investment (whether by acquisition or stock or
 indebtedness, by loan, advance, transfer of property, guarantee or other
 agreement to pay, purchase or service, directly or indirectly, and Debt, or
 otherwise) in, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets,
 tangible or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect any transaction in
 connection with any joint enterprise or other joint arrangement with, any
 Affiliate, except, (1) pursuant to those agreements specifically identified
 on Schedule 8.2 attached hereto (with a copy of such agreements annexed to
 such Schedule 8.2) or (2) on terms to the Company or such Subsidiary no
 less favorable than terms that could be obtained by the Company or such
 Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company upon
 negotiation at arms' length, as determined in good faith by the Board of
 Directors of the Company; provided that no determination of the Board of
 Directors shall be required with respect to any such transactions entered
 into in the ordinary course of business.

 ARTICLE 8.3  Merger or Consolidation .  The Company will not, in a
 single transaction or a series of related transactions,  (i) consolidate
 with or merge with or into any other Person, or (ii) permit any other Person
 to consolidate with or merge into it, unless the Company shall be the
 survivor of such merger or consolidation and (x) immediately before
 and immediately after given effect to such transaction (including any
 indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with the
 transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
 continuing; and (y) the Company has delivered to the Purchaser an Officer's
 Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies
 with this Agreement, and that all conditions precedent in this Agreement
 relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

 ARTICLE 8.4  Limitation on Asset Sales .  Except as set forth on
 Schedule 8.4, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will consummate an
 Asset Sale of material assets of the Company or any Subsidiary without
 prior written notice of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably
 withheld.  As used herein, "Asset Sale" means any sale, lease, transfer
 or other disposition (or series of related sales, leases, transfers or
 dispositions) or sales of capital stock of a Subsidiary (other than
 directors' qualifying shares), property or other assets (each referred
 to for the purpose of this definition as a "disposition"), including any
 disposition by means of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction
 other than a disposition of property or assets at fair market value in
 the ordinary course of business.

 ARTICLE 8.5  Restrictions on Certain Amendments .  Neither the Company
 nor any Subsidiary will waive any provision of, amend, or suffer to be
 amended, any provision of such entity's existing Debt, any material
 contract or agreement previously or hereafter filed by the Company with the
 Commission as part of its SEC Reports, any Company Corporate Document or
 Subsidiary Corporate Document if such amendment, in the Company's reasonable
 judgment, would materially adversely affect the Purchaser or the holders of
 the Securities without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

 ARTICLE 8.6   Restrictions on Issuances of Securities .  In the event the
 Company proposes to sell securities in a Discounted Equity Offering (as
 defined below), the Company agrees that it will  grant Purchaser a right of
 first refusal to purchase securities proposed to be sold in such offering.
 Purchaser shall have five (5) business days after notice to Purchaser by the
 Company of such proposed sale of securities pursuant to this Section 8.6, to
 exercise its right of first refusal.  "Discounted Equity Offering" shall
 mean the issuance of any of its equity securities (or securities convertible
 into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities (the "Derivative
 Securities")) on terms that allow a holder thereof to acquire such equity
 securities (or Derivative Securities) at a discount to the Market Price of
 the Common Stock at the time of issuance or, in the case of Derivative
 Securities, at a conversion price based on any formula (other than standard
 anti-dilution provisions) based on the Market Price on a date later than the
 date of issuance which is below the Market Price on the date of issuance
 other than (i) borrowings under conventional credit facilities existing as
 of the date hereof, (ii) stock issued or credit facilities to be established
 in connection with acquisitions, (iii) equity securities or Derivative
 Securities in connection with employee and director stock option and stock
 purchase plans and (iv) securities issued under the Warrants.  As used
 herein, "discount" shall include, but not be limited to, (i) any warrant,
 right or other security granted or offered in connection with such issuance
 which, on the applicable date of grant, is offered with an exercise or
 conversion price, as the case may be, at less than the then current Market
 Price of the Common Stock or, if such security has an exercise or conversion
 price based on any formula (other than standard anti-dilution provisions)
 based on the Market Price on a date later than the date of issuance, then at
 a price below the Market Price on such date of exercise or conversion, as
 the case may be, or (ii) any commissions, fees or other allowances paid
 in connection with such issuances (other than customary underwriter or
 placement agent commissions, fees or allowances).  For the purposes of
 determining the Market Price at which Common Stock is acquired under this
 Section, normal underwriting commissions and placement fees (including
 underwriters' warrants) shall be excluded.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
 the Company may enter into the following types of transactions without first
 granting the Purchaser a right of first refusal to purchase the following
 securities, (collectively referred to as "Permitted Financings"):  (1)
 "permanent financing" transactions, which would include any form of debt or
 equity financing (other than an underwritten offering), which is followed by
 a reduction of the said financing commitment to zero and payment of all
 related fees and expenses; (2) "project financing" which provide for the
 issuance of recourse debt instruments in connection with the operation
 of the Company's business as presently conducted or as proposed to be
 conducted; (3) an underwritten offering of Common Stock, provided that such
 offering provides for the registration of the Conversion Shares if the
 Registration Statement has not been declared effective; and (4) other
 financing transactions specifically consented to in writing by the
 Purchaser.

 ARTICLE 8.7  Limitation on Stock Repurchases .  Except as otherwise set
 forth in the Warrants, the Company shall not, without the written consent of
 the Majority Holders, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for
 cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) any
 shares of capital stock of the Company or any warrants, rights or options to
 purchase or acquire any such shares.

                       ARTICLE 9.  RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS

 ARTICLE 9.1  Restrictions on Transfer .  From and after their respective
 dates of issuance, none of the Securities shall be transferable except upon
 the conditions specified in this Article IX, which conditions are intended
 to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act in respect of
 the Transfer of any of such Securities or any interest therein.  Purchaser
 will use its best efforts to cause any proposed transferee of any Securities
 held by it to agree to take and hold such Securities subject to the
 provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Article IX.

 ARTICLE 9.2  Legends.   The Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable
 upon any exercise of any Warrant, shall bear restrictive legends in
 accordance with applicable securities laws.  The Warrant Shares, upon resale
 by the Purchaser pursuant to the Registration Statement, shall be freely
 tradeable and unrestricted.

 ARTICLE 9.3  Notice of Proposed Transfers .  Prior to any proposed
 Transfer of the Securities (other than a Transfer (i) registered or exempt
 from registration under the Securities Act, (ii) to an  affiliate of a
 Purchaser which is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
 501(a) under the Securities Act, provided that any such transferee shall
 agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
 Agreement, and shall have provided to the Company such representations,
 warranties and covenants as may be reasonably requested thereby, or (iii)
 to be made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act), the holder
 thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such holder's intention
 to effect such Transfer, setting forth the manner and circumstances of the
 proposed Transfer, which shall be accompanied by (a) an opinion of counsel
 reasonably acceptable to the Company, confirming that such transfer does not
 give rise to a violation of the Securities Act, (B) representation letters
 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to ensure
 compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and (C) letters in
 form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company from each such
 transferee stating such transferee's agreement to be bound by the terms
 of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.  Such proposed
 Transfer may be effected only if the Company shall have received such notice
 of transfer, opinion of counsel, representation letters and other letters
 referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, whereupon the holder of
 such Securities shall be entitled to Transfer such Securities in accordance
 with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company.

             ARTICLE 10.  ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES

 ARTICLE 10.1  Liquidated Damages .

      (a)  The Company shall, and shall use its best efforts to cause its
 transfer agent to, issue and deliver shares of Common Stock consistent with
 Section 7.11 hereof within three (3) New York Stock Exchange Trading Days
 of delivery of a Notice of Exercise, as applicable (the "Deadline") to
 the Purchaser (or any party receiving Securities by transfer from such
 Purchaser) at the address of the Purchaser set forth in the Notice of
 Exercise, as the case may be.  The Company understands that a delay in the
 issuance of such certificates after the Deadline could result in economic
 loss to the Purchaser.

      (b)  Without in any way limiting the Purchaser's right to pursue other
 remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the Company
 agrees that if delivery of the Warrant Shares is more than one (1) Business
 Day after the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances
 described in Section 4.3 of the Note, which failure shall be governed by
 such Section) the Company shall pay to each Purchaser, as liquidated damages
 and not as a penalty, $500 for each $100,000 of Note then outstanding per
 day in cash, for each of the first ten (10) days beyond the Deadline, and
 $1,000 for each $100,000 of Note then outstanding per day in cash for each
 day thereafter that the Company fails to deliver such Common Stock.  Such
 cash amount shall be paid to each Purchaser upon demand.

 ARTICLE 10.2   Exercise Notice .  The Company agrees that, in addition to
 any other remedies which may be available to the Purchaser, including, but
 not limited to, the remedies available under Section 10.1, in the event the
 Company fails for any reason (other than as a result of actions taken by a
 Purchaser in breach of this Agreement) to effect delivery to a Purchaser of
 certificates with or without restrictive legends as contemplated by Article
 IX representing the shares of Common Stock on or prior to the Deadline after
 exercise of any Warrant, such Purchaser will be entitled, if prior to
 the delivery of such certificates, to revoke the Notice of Exercise, as
 applicable, by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon
 the Company and the Purchaser shall each be restored to their respective
 positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Exercise.

 ARTICLE 10.3  Reserved .

 ARTICLE 10.4  Registration Rights .

      (a)  The Company shall grant the Purchaser registration rights covering
 the Warrant Shares and Interest Shares (if any) (the "Registrable
 Securities") on the terms set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and
 herein.

      (b)  The Company shall prepare and file, within 180 days following
 the Closing Date (the "Filing Date"), a registration statement (the
 "Registration Statement") covering the sale of the Registrable Securities.
 The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement
 to be declared effective by the Commission no later than (x) 210 days
 following the Closing Date or (y) after the receipt of a "no review" or
 similar letter from the Commission (the "Required Effectiveness Date").  The
 Company shall pay all expenses of registration (other than underwriting fees
 and discounts, if any, in respect of Registrable Securities offered and sold
 under such Registration Statement by the Purchaser).

      (c)  If the Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date, the
 Company shall pay to Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
 an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the principal amount of Note
 outstanding for each 30-day period (prorated) until the Registration
 Statement is filed with the Commission, provided that such damages shall
 not exceed four percent (4%) of such principal amount of the Note.  If the
 Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the
 Required Effectiveness Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, as
 liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an aggregate amount of one percent
 (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Note  (a "  Default Fee"),
 for each 30-day period (prorated)  the Registration Statement is not
 declared effective by the Commission following the Required Effectiveness
 Date; provided, however, such damages shall not exceed 4% of the principal
 amount of the Note in the aggregate.  In the event the Company fails to
 obtain an effective registration statement by the 360th day following the
 Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to require the Company to
 redeem the Note and the Warrants at the Prepayment Price set forth in
 Section 4 of the Note and the Redemption Price set forth in Section 14 of
 the Warrant, respectively.  If, following the declaration of effectiveness
 of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement (or any prospectus
 or supplemental prospectus contained therein) shall cease to be effective
 for any reason (including, but not limited to, the occurrence of any event
 that results in any prospectus or supplemental prospectus containing an
 untrue statement of a material fact or omitting a material fact required to
 be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), the
 Company fails to file required amendments to the Registration Statement in
 order to allow the Purchaser to exercise its rights to receive unrestricted,
 unlegended, freely tradeable shares of Common Stock, or if for any reason
 there are insufficient shares of such shares of Common Stock registered
 under the then current Registration Statement to effect full exercise of the
 Warrants or for the issuance of the Interest Shares (each a "Registration
 Default"), the Company shall immediately take all necessary steps to cause
 the Registration Statement to be amended or supplemented so as to cure the
 Registration Default.  Failure to cure a Registration Default within ten
 (10) Business Days shall result in the Company paying to Purchaser
 liquidated damages at the rate of one percent (1%) of the outstanding
 principal amount of Note for each 30-day period (prorated) that the
 Registration Default remains uncured, provided that such damages shall
 not exceed four percent (4%) of such principal amount of the Note.

      (d)  In the event that there is an insufficient number of authorized,
 issuable, unlegended and freely tradeable shares of Common Stock registered
 under the Registration Statement filed by the Company to fully exercise all
 Warrants held by Purchaser or for the issuance of the Interest Shares and to
 sell such shares issued thereon, then the Company shall immediately file
 an amendment to the then current registration statement to register a
 sufficient number of such shares to exercise the Warrants and sell the
 Interest Shares and Warrant Shares.  The failure of the Company to register
 a sufficient number of such shares to fully exercise such Warrants shall be
 a Registration Default under Section 10.4(c).

      (e)  Any such Registration Default shall be paid in cash by the Company
 to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the last
 day of each calendar week following the event requiring its payment.

      (f)  If, for any reason (including but not limited to the issuance
 of all shares of Common Stock covered by the prospectus included in the
 Registration Statement), the Registration Default is incurred for a period
 of sixty (60) days, the holders of a majority of the Note then outstanding
 may elect to cause the Company to repay the Note in full at the Prepayment
 Price set forth in Section 4 of the Note.

                    ARTICLE 11.  ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED PRICE

 ARTICLE 11.1  Reorganization .  The exercise price of the Warrants (the "
 Fixed Price") shall be adjusted, as applicable, as hereafter provided.

 ARTICLE 11.2  Share Reorganization .  If and whenever the Company shall:

           (i)  subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
      greater number of shares;

           (ii)  consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
      smaller number of shares;

          (iii)  issue Common Stock or securities convertible into or
      exchangeable for shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to all or
      substantially all the holders of Common Stock; or

           (iv)  make a distribution on the outstanding Common Stock to all
      or substantially all the holders of Common Stock payable in Common
      Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock;

 any of such events being herein called a "Share Reorganization," then in
 each such case the Fixed Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately
 after the record date at which the holders of Common Stock are determined
 for the purposes of the Share Reorganization or, if no record date is fixed,
 the effective date of the Share Reorganization, by multiplying the Fixed
 Price in effect on such record or effective date, as the case may be, by a
 fraction of which:

            (I)  the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding on such record or effective date (without giving effect to
      the transaction); and

           (II) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
      Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization,
      including, in the case of a distribution of securities convertible into
      or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of
      Common Stock that would have been outstanding if such securities had
      been converted into or exchanged for Common Stock on such record or
      effective date.

 ARTICLE 11.3   Capital Reorganization .  If and whenever there shall occur:

           (i)    a reclassification or redesignation of the shares of Common
      Stock or any change of the shares of Common Stock into other shares,
      other than in a Share Reorganization;

           (ii)   a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company
      with, or into another body corporate; or

           (iii)  the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
      of the Company to another body corporate;

 (any such event being herein called a "Capital Reorganization"), then in
 each such case the holder who exercises the Warrants after the effective
 date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive and shall
 accept, upon the exercise of such right, in lieu of the number of shares of
 Common Stock to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise
 of the conversion privilege, the aggregate number of shares or other
 securities or property of the Company or of the body corporate resulting
 from such Capital Reorganization that such holder would have been entitled
 to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective
 date thereof, such holders had been the holder of the number of shares of
 Common Stock to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon conversion;
 provided, however, that no such Capital Reorganization shall be consummated
 in effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that such
 holders shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of shares or
 other securities of the Company or of the body corporate resulting from such
 Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with
 provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained above.

 ARTICLE 11.4  Adjustment Rules . The following rules and procedures shall
 be applicable to adjustments made in this Article XI:

      (a)  no adjustment in the Fixed Price shall be required unless such
 adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the Fixed Price then
 in effect, provided, however, that any adjustments which, but for the
 provisions of this clause would otherwise have been required to be made,
 shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
 adjustment;

      (b)  if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment
 provisions of this Article XI but not expressly provided for by such
 provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided herein,
 and the Company's board of directors will make an appropriate adjustment in
 the Fixed Price so that the rights of the holders of the applicable Security
 shall not be diminished by such event; and

      (c)  if a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to any
 adjustment of the Fixed Price, such dispute shall be conclusively determined
 by the auditors of the Company or, if they are unable or unwilling to act,
 by a firm of independent chartered accountants selected by the Directors and
 any such determination shall be binding upon the Company and Purchaser.

 ARTICLE 11.5  Certificate as to Adjustment .  The Company shall from time
 to time promptly after the occurrence of any event which requires an
 adjustment in the Fixed Price deliver to the Purchaser a certificate
 specifying the nature of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of
 the adjustment necessitated thereby, the Fixed Price after giving effect
 to such adjustment and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the method of
 calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 ARTICLE 11.6  Notice to Noteholders .  If the Company shall fix a record
 date for:

      (a)  any Share Reorganization (other than the subdivision of
 outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares or the
 consolidation of outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares),

      (b)  any Capital Reorganization (other than a reclassification or
 redesignation of the Common Stock into other shares),

      (c)  Sale Event; or

      (d)  any cash dividend,

 the Company shall, not less than 10 days prior to such record date or, if no
 record date is fixed, prior to the effective date of such event, give to the
 Purchaser notice of the particulars of the proposed event or the extent that
 such particulars have been determined at the time of giving the notice.

                        ARTICLE 12.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 ARTICLE 12.1  Events of Default.   If one or more of the following events
 (each an "Event of Default") shall have occurred and be continuing:

 in excess of sixty (60) days;

      (j)  the Company or any material Subsidiary has commenced a voluntary
 case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization
 or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,

 seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or
 other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or has

 the Company, declare the Note to be, and the Note shall thereon become

 immediately due and payable, provided, further, if any Event of Default has
 occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Note has been
 declared immediately due and payable hereunder, any Purchaser of Note may
 proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such Purchaser by an action
 at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the
 specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or
 for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof,
 or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law

 ARTICLE 12.2  Powers and Remedies Cumulative .  No right or remedy herein
 conferred upon or reserved to the Purchaser is intended to be exclusive of
 any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
 permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
 remedy given hereunder or now hereafter existing at law or in equity or
 otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
 otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
 other appropriate right or remedy.  Every power and remedy given by the Note
 or by law may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be
 deemed expedient, by the Purchaser.

                          ARTICLE 13.  MISCELLANEOUS

 ARTICLE 13.2  No Waivers; Amendments .

      (a)  No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any
 right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
 shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy
 preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
 right, power or remedy.

      (b)  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or
 waived if, but only if, such amendment, supplement or waiver is in writing
 and is signed by the Company and the Majority Holders; provided, that
 without the consent of each holder of any Note affected thereby, an
 amendment or waiver may not (a) reduce the aggregate principal amount of
 Note whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver, (b) reduce the
 rate or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note, (c) reduce the
 principal amount of or extend the stated maturity of any Note or (d) make

 obligor on or guarantor of the Note, or by any Person Controlling,
 Controlled by, or under common Control with any of the foregoing, shall be
 disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such
 determination; and provided further that no such amendment, supplement or
 waiver which affects the rights of the Purchaser and their affiliates
 otherwise than solely in their capacities as holders of Note shall be
 effective with respect to them without their prior written consent.

 ARTICLE 13.3  Indemnification .

      (a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser,
 its Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls such Purchaser, or any
 of its Affiliates, within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
 Act (each, a "Controlling Person"), and the respective partners, agents,
 employees, officers and Directors of each Purchaser, their Affiliates and
 any such Controlling Person (each an "Indemnified Party") and collectively,
 the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all losses, claims,
 damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation and as
 incurred, reasonable costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such
 claim or action, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto,
 provided that the Company shall not be obligated to advance such costs to
 any Indemnified Party other than the Purchaser unless it has received from
 such Indemnified Party an undertaking to repay to the Company the costs so
 advanced if it should be determined by final judgment of a court of
 competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled
 to indemnification hereunder with respect to such costs) which may be
 incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative,
 administrative or judicial proceeding brought or threatened that relates to
 or arises out of, or is in connection with any activities contemplated by
 any Transaction Agreement or any other services rendered in connection
 herewith; provided that the Company will not be responsible for any claims,
 liabilities losses, damages or expenses that are determined by final
 judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from such
 Indemnified Party's gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

      (b)  If any action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party with
 respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company under this
 Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in
 writing and the Company, at its option, may, assume the defense thereof,
 including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
 Indemnified Party and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses.  The
 failure to so notify the Company shall not affect any obligations the
 Company may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or otherwise
 unless the Company is materially adversely affected by such failure.  Such
 Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such
 action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
 such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i)
 the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the
 named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include
 such Indemnified Party and the Company, and such Indemnified Party shall
 have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
 available to it which are different from or additional to those available to
 the Company, in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Company
 in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
 Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
 action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, provided, however,
 that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or
 proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
 proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
 allegations or circumstances, be responsible hereunder for the reasonable
 fees and expenses of more than one such firm of separate counsel, in
 addition to any local counsel, which counsel shall be designated by the
 Purchaser.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
 action effected without the written consent of the Company (which shall not
 be unreasonably withheld) and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
 harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by
 reason of settlement of any action effected with the consent of the Company.
 In addition, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the
 Purchaser, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in
 or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, suit
 or proceeding in respect to which indemnification or contribution may be
 sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto)
 unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
 express unconditional release of the Purchaser and the other Indemnified
 Parties, satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser, from all
 liability arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding.

      (c)  If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable
 (otherwise than pursuant to the express terms of such indemnity) to an
 Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless,
 then in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, the Company shall
 contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
 result of such claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses (i) in such
 proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
 the Company on the one hand and by the Purchaser on the other from the
 transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation
 provided by clause (i) is not permitted under applicable law, in such
 proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
 received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other, but
 also the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser as well as any
 other relevant equitable considerations.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
 this Section 13.3, the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Parties
 shall not exceed the amount of interest and fees actually received by the
 Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.  It is hereby further agreed that the
 relative benefits to the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the
 other with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
 determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or
 alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission or alleged
 omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the
 Company or by the Purchaser and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
 access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
 or omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
 meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
 contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
 misrepresentation.

      (d)  The indemnification, contribution and expense reimbursement
 obligations set forth in this Section 13.3 (i) shall be in addition to any
 liability the Company may have to any Indemnified Party at common law or
 otherwise; (ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
 other Transaction Agreements and the payment in full of the Note and (iii)
 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
 investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any other Indemnified
 Party.

 ARTICLE 13.4  Expenses:  Documentary Taxes .  The Company has agreed to
 pay an application fee of 1.5% of the principal amount of Note to Purchaser
 at the Closing.  The Company agrees to pay to Global Capital Advisors, Ltd.,
 on the Closing Date, a fee of $15,000.00 (the "Out of Pocket Fee") in full
 satisfaction of all obligations of the Company to Purchaser and its agents
 in connection with the negotiation and preparation of the Transaction
 Agreements, relevant due diligence, and fees and disbursements of legal
 counsel.  In addition, the Company agrees to pay any and all stamp, transfer
 and other similar taxes, assessments or charges payable in connection with
 the execution and delivery of any Transaction Agreement or the issuance of
 the Securities to Purchaser, excluding their assigns.

 ARTICLE 13.5  Payment .  The Company agrees that, so long as a Purchaser
 shall own any Note purchased by it from the Company hereunder, the Company
 will make payments to such Purchaser of all amounts due thereon by wire
 transfer by 4:00 P.M. (New York City time).

 ARTICLE 13.6  Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding
 upon the Company and upon the Purchaser and their respective successors and
 assigns; provided that the Company shall not assign or otherwise transfer
 its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other Person without
 the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.  All provisions hereunder
 purporting to give rights to Purchaser and their affiliates or to holders of
 Securities are for the express benefit of such Persons and their successors
 and assigns.

 ARTICLE 13.7  Brokers .  The Company represents and warrants to
 Purchaser, and Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that it has
 not employed any broker, finder, financial advisor or investment banker who
 would be entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission
 payable by the Company or the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the
 Securities.

 ARTICLE 13.8   Delaware Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury
 Trial; Appointment of Agent .  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
 ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  EACH
 PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED
 STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR DELAWARE AND OF ANY STATE COURT SITTING IN
 DELAWARE FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
 THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH PARTY HERETO
 IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION
 WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH
 PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING
 BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  EACH
 PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
 IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
 TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

      Section 13.9 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or
 restriction of this Agreement is held by  a court of competent jurisdiction
 to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms,
 provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in
 full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or
 invalidated unless a failure of consideration would result thereby.

      Section 13.10 Survival.  Sections 7.1(a), (d), 7.4, 7.6, 7.8, 7.10,
 7.11, 7.12, Article 10 and Section 12.1 Subsections (f), (h) and (i)
 contained in this Agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Note
 and shall remain operative and in full force until the Warrants have been
 fully exercised.

 signatures and in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an
 original with the same effect as if the signatures there to and hereto were

                     DIAL-THRU INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

                           SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

      Dial-Thru International Corporation,  a Delaware corporation  (together
 with its successors, the "Company"), for  value received hereby promises  to
 pay to:

                      Global Capital Funding Group, L.P.

 (the "Holder") and registered assigns, the principal sum of One Million  Two
 Hundred Fifty Thousand  Dollars ($1,250,000.00) or,  if less, the  principal
 amount of this Note then outstanding, on the Maturity Date by wire  transfer
 of immediately available funds to the Holder in such coin or currency of the
 United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for
 the payment of public  and private debts, and  to pay interest, which  shall
 begin to  accrue on  the  date of  this  Secured Promissory  Note  ("Note"),
 quarterly in arrears,  on (i)  the last day  of March,  June, September  and
 December of each  year until  the Maturity  Date, commencing  June 30,  2003
 (unless such  day  is  not a  Business  Day,  in which  event  on  the  next
 succeeding Business  Day)  (each  an  "Interest  Payment  Date"),  (ii)  the
 Maturity Date, and (iii) the date the principal amount of the Note shall  be
 declared to  be  or shall  automatically  become  due and  payable,  on  the
 principal sum hereof outstanding in like coin or currency, at the rates  per
 annum set forth below, from the  most recent Interest Payment Date to  which
 interest has been paid on this Note, or if no interest has been paid on this
 Note, from the date of this Note until payment in full of the principal  sum
 hereof has been made.

      The interest  rate  shall  be  twelve  percent  (12%)  per  annum  (the
 "Interest Rate") or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable  law.
 At the option of the Company, interest may be  paid in cash or in shares  of
 Common Stock.  The number of shares of Common Stock issued as interest shall
 be determined  by  dividing  the  dollar  amount  of  interest  due  on  the
 applicable Interest  Payment  Date  by the  Market  Price  then  in  effect.
 "Market Price" shall mean the average closing bid price for the Common Stock
 as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., for  five trading days immediately prior  to
 such Interest Payment Date.   Past due amounts  (including interest, to  the
 extent permitted by law) will also accrue interest at the Interest Rate plus
 2% per annum or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law,  and
 will be payable on demand ("Default Interest").  Interest on this Note  will
 be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year  of twelve 30 day months.   All
 payments of principal and interest hereunder  shall be made for the  benefit
 of the Holder pursuant to the  terms hereof and of the Agreement  (hereafter
 defined).

      This Note (this "Note") is secured pursuant to the terms of a  Security
 Agreement (the  "Security Agreement")  of even  date  herewith made  by  the
 Company (or one of  its subsidiaries, as applicable)  and Holder creating  a
 security interest in favor of Holder  in certain of the assets described  in
 the Security Agreement (the "Collateral").

      This Note  is a  duly authorized  issuance of  $1,250,000.00  aggregate
 principal amount of Notes of the Company dated as of the date hereof of  the
 Company referred to in that certain  Securities Purchase Agreement dated  as
 of the date hereof between the Company and the Purchaser named therein  (the
 "Agreement").   The Agreement  and the  Security Agreement  contain  certain
 additional agreements among the  parties with respect to  the terms of  this
 Note, including, without limitation, provisions which (A) specify  voluntary
 and mandatory repayment,  prepayment and redemption  rights and  obligations
 and (B) specify Events of Default following which the remaining balance  due
 and owing hereunder may be accelerated.  All such provisions are an integral
 part of this Note and  are incorporated herein by  reference.  This Note  is
 transferable and assignable to one or  more Persons, in accordance with  the
 limitations set forth in the Agreement.

      The Company shall keep  a register (the "Register")  in which shall  be
 entered the names and  addresses of the registered  holder of this Note  and
 particulars of this Note held  by such holder and  of all transfers of  this
 Note.  References to the Holder or "Holders" shall mean the Person listed in
 the Register as registered holder of such Notes.  The ownership of this Note
 shall be proven by the Register.

      1.   Certain Terms Defined.  All terms defined in the Agreement and not
 otherwise defined  herein  shall  have  for  purposes  hereof  the  meanings
 provided for in the Agreement.

      2.   Covenants.   Unless  the  Majority Holders  otherwise  consent  in
 writing, the Company covenants and agrees to observe and perform each of its
 covenants, obligations  and  undertakings  contained  in  the  Agreement  in
 accordance with  the terms  and conditions  thereof, which  obligations  and
 undertakings are expressly assumed  herein by the Company  and made for  the
 benefit of the holder hereof.

      3.   Payment of Principal.   Subject  to  Section 4  of this Note,  the
 Company shall repay the remaining unpaid balance of this Note, plus  accrued
 interest, if any, on  November 8, 2004 (the  "Maturity Date").  The  Company
 may, and shall be obligated to, prepay all or a portion of this Note on  the
 terms specified in the Agreement.

      4.   Pre-payment of Principal.   For  so long  as no  Event of  Default
 shall have occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option,  pre-
 pay the full principal amount of this  Note at any time before the  Maturity
 Date at a prepayment price of (i) 102% of the Principal Amount of the  Note,
 plus all accrued  but unpaid  interest until  the first  anniversary of  the
 Note; and (ii) 101% of  the Principal Amount of  the Note, plus all  accrued
 but unpaid interest from the first anniversary date until the Maturity  Date
 (each the "Prepayment Price").

      5.   Ranking.  This Note shall rank pari passu in right of payment (but
 not with respect to the rights in the Collateral) to any other  indebtedness
 of the  Company  outstanding  as  of  the date  hereof  and  senior  to  any
 indebtedness incurred by the Company following the date hereof.

      6.   Right of Conversion.  Upon (i) an Event of Default (as defined  in
 the Agreement or the Security Agreement) and (ii) at any time following  the
 Maturity Date, at the option of  Holder, this Note shall become  convertible
 into Common Stock  of the  Company according  to the  conversion price  (the
 "Conversion Price") which is defined by the formula F/P, where:

      F = Principal amount of Note being converted, together with the accrued
 and unpaid Interest through the date of conversion, and

      P = 80%  of the  average of the  three lowest  volume weighted  average
 sales prices, as reported  by Bloomberg LP, during  the twenty (20)  trading
 days immediately preceding the date of the related notice of conversion.

      The Company agrees and covenants to execute the necessary documentation
 to amend this  Note upon Holder's  exercise of such  right of conversion  so
 that the Common Shares issuable upon  conversion of this Note will have  the
 registration rights set forth in the  Agreement and the Registration  Rights
 Agreement executed the date hereof between the Company and Holder.  In  that
 regard, the  Holders shall  be subject  to such  reasonable restrictions  on
 conversion as  may be  called for  pursuant  to applicable  law and  to  the
 Bulletin Board Rules and Guidelines, which  restrictions shall be set  forth
 in any such amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement.

      7.   Miscellaneous.  This Note  shall be deemed to  be a contract  made
 under the laws  of the  State of  Delaware, and  for all  purposes shall  be
 governed by and construed in  accordance with the laws  of said State.   The
 parties  hereto,  including  all  guarantors  or  endorsers,  hereby   waive
 presentment, demand, notice, protest  and all other  demands and notices  in
 connection with  the delivery,  acceptance, performance  and enforcement  of
 this Note, except as specifically provided  herein, and asset to  extensions
 of the time of payment, or  forbearance or other indulgence without  notice.
 The Company  hereby submits  to the  exclusive  jurisdiction of  the  United
 States District  Courts of  Delaware and  of any  Delaware state  court  for
 purposes of all legal proceedings arising  out of or relating to this  Note.
 The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,  any
 objection which it may now or hereafter have  to the laying of the venue  of
 any such proceeding  brought in such  a court and  any claim  that any  such
 proceeding brought  in such  a court  has been  brought in  an  inconvenient
 forum.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial  by
 jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note.
