corporation (hereinafter called the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the
order of ______________, or registered assigns (the "Holder") the sum of
_________ DOLLARS ($_________), on the earlier of (i) 30 days after the

"Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at
the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum from the date of this Note (the
"Issue Date") until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or
upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. Interest shall commence
accruing on the Issue Date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable in cash on the Maturity
Date. The Borrower shall pay a total of $1,625.00 in prepaid interest on the
Issue Date, representing 90 days worth of interest on the Note.

         All payments due hereunder shall be made at such address as the Holder
shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with
the provisions of this Note.

         Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is
due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the
next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest
payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the
extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes
of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note,
the term "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a
day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized
or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term
used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto

to purchase this Note (the "Subscription Agreement").

March ___, 2007                                                        $________
                          ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
                                    15% NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PERFORMANCE HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "Company") hereby
promises to pay to the order of ___________ (the "Holder"), or his registered
assigns, the principal sum of _____________ DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($_______) (the
"Loan"), and to pay interest from the date hereof on the outstanding principal
sum at the rate of 15% per annum based on a 365-day year, such interest to
accrue from the date hereof (the "Closing Date"). The principal and accrued but
unpaid interest shall be repayable May 26, 2007 (the "Maturity Date"). If the
Company receives gross financing proceeds of $2,000,000 or more before the
Maturity Date, the Holder may at its option elect to have the Note and all
accrued interest paid from the financing proceeds.

         All payments shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of
America at the principal office of the Holder or at such other place as the
Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Company.

         1.       PREPAYMENTS.

                  (a) INTEREST. On the Closing Date, the Company shall make a
         cash payment of interest to the Holder in the amount of $_______,
         representing two months worth of interest on the Loan. The Company
         agrees that the Holder may deduct an amount equal to such payment from
         the gross proceeds loaned to the Company.

                  (b) PREPAYMENTS; REDEMPTION. The Company may prepay and redeem
         this Secured Promissory Note (the "Note"), at the election of the
         Company at any time as a whole only and not in part, at a price equal
         to the outstanding principal of the Note together with accrued interest
         to the date of repayment, along with any other sums due hereunder. Upon
         repayment of the Note in full, the Holder acknowledges that the
         Security Agreement will be terminated and that the Holder will have no
         further rights thereunder.

<PAGE>

         2. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION. As additional consideration for making the
Loan described herein, the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder equal
to five (5) points, or $________, on the Closing Date. The Company hereby agrees
that the Holder may deduct an amount equal to such payment from the gross
proceeds loaned to the Company.

         3. SECURITY INTEREST. The repayment of this obligation shall be secured
by the grant of a security interest in certain Advance Notices that may be
issued from time to time by the Borrower to Cornell Capital Partners, LP
pursuant to a certain Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated January 23,
2006. The security interest of the Holder shall be PARI PASSU with the security
interest held by other Holders and by holders of promissory notes issued by the
Borrower in previous note offerings. The parties agree and acknowledge that the
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement has been entered into for Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000), however, the Borrower cannot request funds from Cornell
Capital Partners under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement until such time
as the Borrower has an effective registration statement covering the shares that
may be issued pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The Company
filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 14, 2006. Within five (5) days of the effectiveness of the Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement, the Borrower will perfect the Borrower's security
interest in this regard.

         4. DEFAULT. The Company shall be in default under the Note upon the
occurrence of any of the following events ("Event of Default"):

                  (a) After notice by the Holder of a failure by the Company to
         make any principal or interest payment required under the Note, and the
         Company's failure to cure such default within five business days from
         the date such notice is received by the Company; or

                  (b) An assignment for the benefit of creditors by or the
         filing of a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor's relief
         law, or for any readjustment of indebtedness, composition or extension
         by the Company, or commenced against the Company which is not
         discharged within sixty (60) days.

         5. REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default:

                  (a) specified in clause (a) of Section 4, then the Holder may
         declare the Note immediately accelerated due and payable;

                  (b) specified in clause (b) of Section 4, then the Note shall
         be automatically accelerated and immediately due and payable at the
         option of Holder, without notice or demand; and

<PAGE>

                  (c) the Holder shall have all of the rights and remedies, at
         law and in equity, by statute or otherwise, and no remedy herein
         conferred upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other
         remedy and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
         every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law,
         in, equity, by statute or otherwise.

         6. CHANGES; PARTIES. This Note can only be changed by an agreement in
writing signed by the Company and the Holder. This Note shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Holder and their respective
successors and assigns.

         7. WAIVER OF PRESENTMENT. With the exception of Section 4(a), the
Company hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands
and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or
enforcement of this Note.

         8. MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to
be the intent of the Company and Holder at all times to comply with the
applicable law governing the maximum rate of interest payable on or in
connection with all indebtedness and transactions hereunder (or applicable
United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest). If the
applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount of money or other consideration called for hereunder, or contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to any loan or advance
hereunder, or if acceleration of the maturity of this Note or the indebtedness
hereunder or if any prepayment by the Company results in the Company's having
paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is the Company's
and Holder's express intent that all excess cash amounts theretofore collected
by Holder be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or if this Note has
been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Company), and the
provisions of this Note immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution
of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to
permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder. The
right to accelerate maturity of this Note does not include the right to
accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such
acceleration, and Holder does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the
event of acceleration.

9. NO IMPLIED WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of Holder in exercising
any right, power or privilege under this Note and no course of dealing between
the Company and Holder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise of any right, power or privilege Holder would otherwise have.
No notice to, or demand on, the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of the right of Holder to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.

<PAGE>

10. COUNSEL. The law firm of Gallagher, Briody & Butler has memorialized the
within Note and has provided legal advice solely to the Company with respect to
this Note and the Loan.

11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING
TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Note as of the date
set forth above.
