This Note is issued pursuant to, and is entitled to the benefits of the provisions of that

“Bridge Loan Agreement”) between the Payor, the Payee and the others parties thereto; but neither

absolute and unconditional obligation of the maker of this Note to pay the principal hereof and
interest hereon as herein provided. Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to such term in the Bridge Loan Agreement.
The holder hereof is entitled to all of the benefits and subject to all of the obligations
provided for in the Bridge Loan Agreement, including conversion hereof as provided under Section
7.1 thereof, and repayment in the event of (a) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (b) any consolidation, merger or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (c) any transfer of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting power of the Company as provided under Section 7.5 thereof. Reference is made
to the Bridge Loan Agreement for a statement of the terms and conditions under which this
indebtedness was incurred (including conversion, waiver, etc.) and the Events of Default under
which the promissory note may come due. The provisions of the Bridge Loan Agreement are
incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein.
This Note shall, upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement), become
immediately due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the holder hereof, as
specified in the Bridge Loan Agreement. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part without
the consent of the Payee.
This Note is secured under a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) between the Payor
and the Payee dated as of June 16, 2003, attached hereto as Exhibit A. Reference is hereby made to
the Security Agreement for a description of the nature and extent of the security for this Note and
the rights with respect to such security of the holder of this Note.
The Company hereby agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to pay
all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by the holder of
this Note (“Costs”) in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when
due, whether by declaration or otherwise. The Company agrees that any delay on the part of the
holder in exercising any rights hereunder will not operate as a waiver of such rights. The holder
of this Note shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the
party or parties waiving such rights or remedies.
This Note has been acquired for investment and has not been registered under the Act. This
Note may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in the
absence of such registration or evidence satisfactory to Payor of an applicable exemption therefrom
