1.  Purchase Agreement. This Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) is issued by the Borrower, as of the date hereof, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2004 by and among the Borrower, Biomedical Value Fund, L.P., Biomedical Offshore Value Fund, Ltd. and David C.

This Note, together with all other promissory notes issued under the Purchase Agreement, and all promissory notes issued pursuant to paragraph 12 hereof or thereof are hereinafter referred to as the “Notes.” The obligations of Borrower under this Note are secured pursuant to a Security Agreement dated December 13, 2004 by and among the Borrower, Biomedical Value Fund, L.P., Biomedical Offshore Value Fund, Ltd. and David C. Bupp. The Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Note and the Purchase Agreement, as it relates to the Note and the Security Agreement, and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained herein and therein and exercise the remedies provided for hereby and thereby or otherwise available in respect hereto and thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used herein with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
 
 

 
 
2.  Interest.
 
(a)  Basic Interest. 
 
(i)  The Borrower promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 8% per annum, which shall increase to 12% per annum effective on (and including) the date of the Amendment. The Borrower shall pay accrued interest quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year or, if any such date shall not be a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day to occur after such date (each date upon which interest shall be so payable, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on December 31, 2004. Interest on this Note shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated in writing by the Holder. In the absence of any such written designation, any such Interest payment shall be deemed made on the date a check in the applicable amount payable to the order of Holder is received by the Holder at its last address as reflected in Borrower’s note register; if no such address appears, then to such Holder in care of the last address in such note register of any predecessor holder of this Note (or its predecessor). Interest on this Note shall accrue from and including the date of issuance through and until repayment of the principal and payment of all accrued interest in full. Interest shall accrue and be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
 
(ii)  The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if on any Interest Payment Date the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than $1.00, at Borrower’s election, the interest then due may be accrued and not paid by the Borrower on such Interest Payment Date and the aggregate of such amount so accrued shall be added to the principal sum hereof on such Interest Payment Date as additional principal (the “Additional Principal”) to be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereinbelow. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the outstanding balance of the Additional Principal as set forth in Section 2(a)(i).
 
(b)  Default Rate of Interest. Except with respect to interest accruing pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), but subject to applicable law, any overdue principal of and overdue interest on this Note shall bear interest, payable on demand in immediately available funds, for each day from the date payment thereof was due to the date of actual payment, at a rate equal to the rate of interest otherwise in effect pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2 plus 2% per annum, and, upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), this Note shall bear interest, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or waived, payable on demand in immediately available funds, at a rate equal to the rate of interest otherwise in effect pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2 plus 2% per annum. Subject to applicable law, any interest that shall accrue on overdue interest on this Note as provided in the preceding sentence and shall not have been paid in full on or before the next Interest Payment Date to occur after the Interest Payment Date on which the overdue interest became due and payable shall itself be deemed to be overdue interest on this Note to which the preceding sentence shall apply.
 
(c)  No Usurious Interest. In the event that any interest rate provided for herein shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any payment by the Borrower of any interest amount in excess of that permitted by law shall be considered a mistake, with the excess being applied to the principal of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty; if no such principal amount is outstanding, such excess shall be returned to Borrower.

(b)  Optional Prepayments. The principal balance of this Note outstanding at any time may be prepaid in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, as provided in this Section 4(b). If the Borrower desires to make a prepayment under this Section 4(b), the Borrower shall give the Holder written notice thereof at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of making such prepayment, stating the amount of the principal that the Borrower intends to prepay (the “Prepayment Amount”) and the date on which the prepayment will be made (the “Prepayment Date”).

If the Borrower fails to pay the Prepayment Amount on the Prepayment Date, the Borrower may not prepay that amount or any other amount without first providing the notice and opportunity to convert required by this Section 4(b).

(a)  Holder’s Right To Convert.
 
(i)  The principal amount of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part, into that number of shares of the Common Stock $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the principal to be converted and the denominator of which is $0.40 as adjusted as provided below (as so adjusted, the “Conversion Price”).

6

 
 
(b)  Certain Events. 
 
(i)  In case at any time prior to the conversion or payment of all of the principal of this Note:
 
(A)  the Borrower shall authorize the granting to all the holders of Common Stock of the Borrower of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other rights; or
 
(B)  there shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Borrower(other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock); or

Such notice shall also specify the date, if known, as of which the holders of record of the Common Stock shall participate in said dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities or other property (including cash) deliverable upon such reorganization, sale, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other transaction, as the case may be. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder may give a notice of conversion of all or a portion of the Note as contemplated in Section 7(a)(ii), which may be conditioned upon the actual occurrence of the event which is the subject of the notice, it being the intention of Borrower and Holder that Holder shall be entitled to obtain the benefits of such conversion if such event actually occurs, but shall be entitled to retain this Note in full at its option if such event does not occur for any reason, and the Borrower agrees to take all such action, including issuing a new Note in order to assure to the Holder the benefits contemplated by this Section 7(b).

(d)  Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in the following manner upon the occurrence of the following events:
 
(i)  Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, (A) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock (including Common Stock), (B) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of its Common Stock, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such date, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a dividend is declared and such dividend is not paid, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 7(d) from and after such record date).
 
(ii)  Certain Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, fix a record date for the distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, assets or other property (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends payable in capital stock for which adjustment is made under Subsection 7(d)(i)) or subscription rights, options or warrants, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (which shall in no event be less than zero), the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date (or, if an ex dividend date has been established for such record date, on the next day preceding such ex dividend date), less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, other property, subscription rights or warrants so to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for such distribution. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 3 from and after such record date).

(iii)  Determination of Current Market Price. For the purpose of any computation under Subsection 7(d)(ii) or any other provision of this Note, (A) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices (as defined below) per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days commencing 15 trading days before such date, and (B) “Closing Price” shall mean, with respect to each share of Common Stock for any day, (I) the last reported sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case as reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading or (II) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, the last reported sale price or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the highest reported bid and the lowest reported asked quotation for the Common Stock, in either case as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market or OTCBB or a similar service if Nasdaq or OTCBB is no longer reporting such information. If on any such date the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange or quoted by the Nasdaq Stock Market, OTCBB or a similar service, then the Company, on the one hand, and [Great Point Partners, LLC] [David C. Bupp], on the other hand, shall each promptly appoint as an appraiser an individual who shall be a member of a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Each appraiser shall be instructed to, within 30 days of appointment, determine the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock which shall be deemed to be equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock as of such date. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock within such 30 day period, then the two appraisers, within 10 days after the end of such 30 day period shall jointly select a third appraiser. The third appraiser shall, within 30 days of its appointment, determine, in good faith, the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and such determination shall be controlling. If any party fails to appoint an appraiser or if one of the two initial appraisers fails after appointment to submit its appraisal within the required period, the appraisal submitted by the remaining appraiser shall be controlling. The cost of the foregoing appraisals shall be shared one-half by the Company and one-half by [Great Point Partners, LLC] [David C. Bupp], provided, however, in the event a third appraiser is utilized and one of the two initial appraisals (but not the other initial appraisal) is greater than or less than the appraisal by such third appraiser by 10% or more, then the cost of all of the foregoing appraisals shall be borne by the party who appointed the appraiser who made such initial appraisal.

(iv)  De Minimis Adjustments. No adjustment shall be made under this Section 7(d) if the amount of such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than one percent (1%), but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, which together with any adjustment so carried forward, would result in a change of at least one percent (1%). Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Subsection 7(d)(iv), any adjustment postponed pursuant to this Subsection 7(d)(iv) shall be made no later than the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date on which the Note is converted.
 
(v)  Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger and Sale of Assets. If there occurs any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of its Common Stock) or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another Person, then the Holder will thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the same kind and amounts of securities (including shares of stock) or other assets, or both, which were issuable or distributable to the holders of outstanding Common Stock of the Company upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, in respect of that number of shares of Common Stock then deliverable upon the conversion of this Note if this Note had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made to assure that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions with respect to changes in, and other adjustments of, the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be practicable, in relation to any securities or other assets thereafter deliverable upon conversion of this Note.
 
(vi)  Certificate as to Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder, in accordance with Section 15, in the form of a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, President or one of the Vice Presidents of the Company, and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or one of the Assistant Treasurers of the Company, stating the adjusted Conversion Price, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such calculation is based. Each adjustment shall remain in effect until a subsequent adjustment is required.
 
(vii)  Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(d) in the Conversion Price, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon conversion of this Note or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company may make payment to the Holder, at the time of conversion of this Note as herein provided, of an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the greater of the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price.
 
 
11

 
 
(e)  Notice of Proposed Actions.
