(b) Under the Old Note, loans in an aggregate amount of $400,000 have been made and such loans plus accrued and unpaid interest therein shall be deemed to be outstanding Loans under this Note. A Loan of $1,157,945.23 shall be made when the Borrowers execute and deliver this Note, the Security Agreement and the other collateral documents required to be delivered under the Security Agreement and the Borrowers shall use the proceeds of such Loan to pay in full the outstanding loans and other obligations under the Convertible Promissory Note dated as of June 25, 2002 executed by Borrowers in favor of Hand Held Products, Inc.

Each request for a Loan shall be accompanied by a written cash flow projection setting forth the current cash position of Borrowers (which for these purposes shall include the amount of any cash prepayment made by Federated Department Stores less an amount needed by Borrowers to purchase parts inventory specifically for the Federated contract) and the current cash needs of Borrowers for the following week (showing the amount of anticipated expenditures by general category) in order to allow Borrowers to operate in the ordinary course of business.

Interest. -------- (a) The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. In the event this Note is not paid on the Maturity Date or following an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum following such date.

Adjustment of Principal Amount. ------------------------------ (a) The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be reduced by $350,000 in the event Lender becomes obligated to pay liquidated damages to Borrowers under Section 10.3(c) of the Merger Agreement following a termination of the Merger Agreement for one of the reasons specified in Section 10.3(c). In such event, Borrowers shall be deemed to have offset the amount of the liquidated damages owed by Lender against the outstanding balance hereof.

All payments due under or pursuant to this Note shall -------- be made when due at such address as Lender may designate in writing from time to time, in lawful money of the United States of America. 7.

This Note is secured by a security interest in ---------- substantially all the assets of Borrowers granted pursuant to a Security Agreement dated the date hereof (the "Security Agreement"). Upon the occurrence ------------------ of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies set forth in the Security Agreement. 8. Conversion. ---------- (a) Lender may at any time before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note (including accrued and unpaid interest) into such number of shares of Common Stock of POS as is equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the then-outstanding balance of this Note (including accrued and unpaid interest) and the denominator of which is $5,000,000, and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to (i) any outstanding rights, options or warrant to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock and (ii) outstanding indebtedness, shares or other securtities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock. (b) If Lender desires to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock, Lender shall surrender this Note and shall give written notice to POS that Lender elects to convert the same. POS shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to Lender, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which Lender shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of this Note, and Lender shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If Lender elects to convert less than the entire outstanding balance of this Note, Borrowers shall issue a replacement promissory note for the balance which is not converted. (c) POS will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by POS, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 8 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of Lender against impairment. (d) In the event of any taking by POS of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to (i) receive any dividend or other distribution, any security or right convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive additional shares of Common Stock, (ii) receive any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or (iii) approve any transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution 4 or other reorganization, Borrowers shall mail to Lender at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, security, or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, security or right. (e) POS shall pay any and all issue and other taxes (except taxes measured by the net income of Lender) that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant hereto. (f) POS shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note, POS will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to its certificate of incorporation. (g) In case of any reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of POS, any consolidation or merger of POS with or into another Person, or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of POS to another Person, this Note shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon the record date of (or date of, if no record date is fixed) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Lender, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as equivalent as is practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or the securities or property (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note. 9.
