thereafter to the reduction of principal. After payment of the foregoing, all
prepayments of any kind shall be applied to the extent of available proceeds to

in part at any time prior to the maturity date without prior notice to Payee,
without penalty or premium. Any partial prepayments shall be applied to
installments of principal last falling due. No partial prepayment shall postpone
or interrupt payments of interest or the payment of the remaining principal
balance, all of which shall continue to be due and payable at the time and in
the manner set forth above.

         2.       [RESERVED]

creditors of Maker as the three named creditors may determine to make a party to
such Intercreditor Agreement. This Note constitutes "Seller Junior Indebtedness"
as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.

         5.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an
event of default (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT") hereunder:

                  5.1      Payment Failure. If Maker fails to make any payment
of any installment of interest and/or principal hereunder or any other sum due
hereunder within ten (10) days after such payment is due. 5.2 Failure to
Perform, Etc. Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by Maker herein

Code or any law of the United States or of any state relating to insolvency,
receivership, or debt adjustment is instituted by Maker or any guarantor of this
Note (a "Guarantor"), or if any such proceeding is instituted against Maker or
any Guarantor and is consented to by the respondent or an order for relief shall
be entered in such proceeding or such proceeding shall remain undismissed for
sixty (60) days, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for any substantial
part of Maker's or any Guarantor's property and such appointment remains
undismissed for sixty (60) days, or if Maker or any Guarantor makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay
debts generally as they become due or becomes insolvent.

or premium thereon, when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required
prepayment, acceleration, demand, or otherwise); and (ii) fail to perform or
observe any term, covenant, or condition on its part to be performed or observed
under any agreement or instrument relating to any such debt when required to be
performed or observed, if the effect of such failure to perform or observe is to
accelerate, or to permit the acceleration, after the giving of notice or passage
of time, or both, of the maturity of such debt, whether or not such failure to
perform or observe shall be waived by the holder of such debt (provided, that
any failure to perform or observe under financing documents between Maker and
M&T Bank shall not become an Event of Default unless and until M&T Bank gives
written notice to Maker of such failure and declares its intentions to pursue
its rights and/or remedies under such documents) or any such debt shall be
declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by a
regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the stated maturity thereof.

                  5.5      Judgment. A final judgment or order for the payment
of money in excess of $100,000 shall be rendered against the Maker or any
Guarantor and such judgment or order shall continue unsatisfied, in effect and

the voting securities of the Maker or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation;

                           (iii)    if any recapitalization event occurs as a
result of which the holders of voting securities of the Maker outstanding
immediately prior thereto do not continue to hold at least 70% of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of the Maker immediately after such
recapitalization event;

                           (iv)     the members of the Maker approve a plan of

                  5.8      [Reserved]

                  5.9      Guarantees. Any guaranty of this Note shall at any
time after its execution and delivery for any reason cease to be in full force
and effect or shall be declared null and void, or the validity or enforceability
thereof shall be contested by any Guarantor, or any Guarantor shall deny it has
any further liability or obligation under, or shall fail to perform its
obligations under any Security Agreement.

obligations under the Security Agreement.

         6.       REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums owing hereunder shall, at
the option of the holder hereof, become immediately due and payable (an
"ACCELERATION"), without presentation, demand or further action of any kind,

<PAGE>

                                                                   Page 41 of 55

and Payee may forthwith exercise, singly, concurrently, successively or
otherwise, any and all rights and remedies available to Payee hereunder. The
failure of the holder hereof to accelerate the outstanding principal balance of
this Note upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of such default or of the right to accelerate this Note at
any time thereafter so long as the Event of Default remains uncured. If Payee
retains the services of counsel in order to enforce any remedy available to
Payee hereunder, all reasonable attorneys' fees which are actually incurred by
Payee shall be payable upon demand. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any
one or more Events of Default, and whether or not the Payee shall have
accelerated the maturity of this Note, the Payee may, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Note or any instrument pursuant to which the obligations to
the Payee are evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining
of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become
due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any
other legal or equitable right of the Payee. No remedy herein conferred upon the
Payee or the holder of this Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy
and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute or any other provision of law.

         7.       AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS TO INVESTOR NOTES. Maker shall
not agree to any amendment to its subordinated Investor Notes issued by Maker
pursuant to the Offering Summary Statement dated September 5, 2000 and the
Recission Offer dated December 8, 2000 made by Maker with respect to payment
terms, maturity date, interest rate and subordination without the Payee's prior
written consent.

         8.       RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. Maker shall not declare or pay any
dividends, other than reasonable "tax distributions" sufficient to cover the
members' tax liabilities associated with their membership interests in Maker; or

acquire for value any of its equity interests now or hereafter outstanding, or
make any distribution of assets to its members or other holders of equity
securities issued by Maker; or allocate or otherwise set apart any sum for the
payment of any dividend or distribution on, or for the purchase, redemption, or

or otherwise; or make any other distribution by reduction of capital or
otherwise in respect of any membership interest.

                           (b)      [Reserved]

transaction related hereto shall be construed or shall operate either presently

lawful in such case to contract for, but shall require payment of interest only
to the interest paid in excess of the lawful rate shall be refunded to Maker.

         11.      SEVERABILITY. In the event that for any reason one or more of
the provisions of this Note or their application to any person or circumstance
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any
extent, such provisions shall, to such extent, be held for naught as though not
herein contained but shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in
all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible. In addition,
any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provisions of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

         12.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Note inures to the benefit of
Payee, its successors and assigns, and is binding upon Maker, its successors and
assigns, provided that any successor or assign of the Payee of this Note first
