                  4.1      Authorization. All action on the part of the Investor
necessary for the Investor's authorization, execution, delivery and performance
of all obligations of the Investor under this Agreement has been taken. This
Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms.

                  4.2      Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Investor will not conflict

                  4.3      Investment Representations.

                  4.3.1    This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance
upon the Investor's representation to the Company, which by the acceptance
hereof the Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares were acquired for
investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view
to the sale or distribution of all or any part thereof absent the registration
of such Shares under the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or
pursuant to a valid exemption from such registration requirements, and the
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting, participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Investor
further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such
person, or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

                  4.3.2    The Investor understands that at the time of
issuance, the Shares may not have been registered under the Act on the ground
that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares was
made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act
pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving a
public offering or pursuant to Section 3(b) thereof, and is similarly exempt
under any other applicable state securities laws, and that the Company's
reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investor's representations as
set forth herein.

                  4.3.3    The Investor represents that it is experienced in
evaluating and investing in private companies such as the Company, is able to
fend for itself in the transactions described by this Agreement, has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to

                                       3
<PAGE>   5

bear the economic risks of its investment. The Investor further represents that
it has had access, during the course of the transaction and prior to the
issuance of the Shares, to information concerning the Company and that it has
had during the course of the transaction and prior to the issuance of the
Shares, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the
Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and the Company's
business, management and financial affairs, and to obtain additional information
(to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any
information furnished to it or to which had access.

                  4.3.4    The Investor represents that it is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

                  4.3.5    The Investor understands that the Shares may not be
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Act
and any applicable state securities laws absent an exemption therefrom, and that
in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares or an
available exemption from registration under the Act and any applicable state
securities laws, the Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, the
Investor is aware that the Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Act unless all the conditions of that Rule are met. Among
the conditions for use of Rule 144 may be the availability of current and
adequate information to the public about the Company. Such information is not
now available and the Company has no current plans to make such information
available.

                  4.3.6    The Investor agrees that in no event will it sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares (other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable state
securities laws), unless and until it or its proposed transferee shall have
furnished to the Company an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prepared at the expense of the
Investor or its proposed transferee, to the effect that such transfer may be
made without registration under the Act and all applicable state securities
laws.

                  4.4      Legends.

                  4.4.1    All documents and certificates evidencing the Shares
shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect until the same is no
longer required under the Act:

         THESE SHARES OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
         THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE

         HEREOF BE RECOGNIZED AS AN OWNER OR HOLDER HEREOF BY THE COMPANY FOR

subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in money or money's
worth of all Senior Indebtedness. As used herein, the term "Senior
Indebtedness" shall mean the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on
all indebtedness of Maker, whether outstanding on the date of execution of this
Agreement or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, (i) for borrowed money,
or (ii) to any other trade creditor of Maker if and to the extent that such
subordination is authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of Maker at
the time such indebtedness to such trade creditor is first incurred by Maker.

         (2) No payment on account of principal or interest on the Note shall
be made if, at the time of such payment or immediately after given effect
thereto, (i) there shall have occurred and be continuing a default in any
payment with respect to any particular Senior Indebtedness having an
outstanding balance in excess of $10,000, or (ii) there shall have occurred and
be continuing, any other event of default (that is, other than a default in
payment), as defined in the instrument under which the same is outstanding with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders thereof to accelerate
the maturity thereof, and in either case, such event of default shall not have
been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist. Maker agrees to use its
best efforts to cure or compromise any such default at such time and in such
manner as may be necessary to permit payment under the terms of the Note or as
soon thereafter as possible.

         (3) Upon distribution of assets of Maker of any kind or character,
whether in cash, properties or securities, or any payment by Maker to creditors
in connection with any dissolution or winding up or any total or partial
liquidation or reorganization of Maker, whether voluntary or

involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar
proceedings, all amounts then due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be
paid in full, or the payment thereof provided for in money or money's worth, in
accordance with its or their terms, before any payment is made on account of
the then outstanding principal of or interest on the Note. In the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of Maker
of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited
by the foregoing or by Part (2) above shall be received by Holder before all
Senior Indebtedness then due is paid in full, or provision is made for such
payment in money or money's worth in accordance with its or their terms, such
payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness or their representatives, as their respective interests may
appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining
unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness then due in full
in money or money's worth in accordance with its terms.

         (4) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the
rights of Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or
securities of Maker applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal
of and interest on the Note shall be paid in full.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note, as Maker,
under seal on the day and year first written above.

                                    MAKER:
