WHEREAS, Borrower has previously issued to Holder that certain Convertible Term Note is original principal amount of $1,000,000 dated September 11, 2003 (the “Convertible Term Note”); and

2. Amendments. The Convertible Term Note is hereby amended as follows:

(B) The parties agree that, as of the date of this Amendment, the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Term Note is $676,789.81. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.2 of the Convertible Term Note, no payments of principal under the Convertible Term Note shall be due on August, 1, 2004 or any Repayment Date thereafter prior to February 1, 2005, and for each such Repayment Date the Monthly Amount shall consist solely of accrued interest.

(C) The definition of Fixed Conversion Price in Section 2.12 is amended to $1.64.

(B) Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision of this Amendment.

(C) Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same document. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile signature, and any such facsimile signature by any party hereto shall be deemed to be an original signature and shall be binding on such party to the same extent as if such facsimile signature were an original signature.

(D) Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

The Convertible Term Note, as modified hereby, remains in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed in all respects.
