                            SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

$100,000.00                                             March 24, 1997
                                                             Palm Coast, Florida


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Cardiac Control Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Maker"), hereby promises to pay to Bart C. Gutekunst,
an individual (the "Payee"), at Payee's principal place of business or such
other place as Payee may from time to time designate in writing, the principal
amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars and 0/100 ($100,000.00), together with
interest on unpaid principal from time to time outstanding computed from the
date of this Note, at the rate provided herein.  The Maker may prepay, at any
time and from time to time, without penalty, all or a portion of said amount.

     1.   Commencing on the date of this Note, the unpaid principal balance from
time to time outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum, which interest shall accrue to May 15, 1997 (the
"Maturity Date"), at which time the entire amount of unpaid principal and any
accrued but unpaid interest shall be paid in full.

          a.   For a term of five (5) years from the Maturity Date, Payee shall
have a right to purchase, in whole or in part and at his option, one (1) share
of restricted common stock of Maker ("Share(s)") at an exercise price of
eighteen cents ($0.18) per Share for every one ($1.00) dollar of interest due
under this Note.  Upon receipt by Maker of (i) written notice from Payee of
Payee's exercise of his right to purchase such Shares, delivered to Maker at its
principal place of business, (ii) a representation letter from Payee
satisfactory to Maker containing representations from Payee regarding his
investment intent, acknowledgment that the Shares are restricted and his
accredited investor status, and (iii) clear funds in an amount equal to the
number of Shares to be purchased multiplied by eighteen cents ($0.18), Maker
shall issue the Shares purchased.  Payee shall have no other rights to purchase
Shares except as expressly set forth herein, including, without limitation, no
preemptive rights, and no rights to adjustment due to a distribution,
subdivision, reclassification or any other issuance of Shares by Maker or
derivative securities convertible into or exerciseable for Shares.  Payee shall
have no right to receive fractional shares.  Any amount of interest shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole dollar.  Any certificates evidencing Shares
issued pursuant to this Note shall bear a restrictive legend providing
substantially that the Shares may not be transferred by Payee unless registered
under applicable federal and state securities laws or unless an exemption from
such registration is available

     2.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 of this Note, from and
after the date of an Event of Default (defined below), the outstanding principal
and accrued and unpaid interest shall together be deemed outstanding principal
and the interest on such principal shall be computed at the rate of three
percent (3%) per month, which interest 
<PAGE>
 
shall be payable monthly commencing on the first day of the calendar month
following the date of an Event of Default, and continuing thereafter until the
outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest is paid in
full.

     3.   The entire unpaid amount of this Note, inclusive of principal and
interest, shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, as defined below.  The term "Event of Default", as used
herein, shall mean the occurrence and continuation of any one or more of the
following events:  (a)  the failure of Maker to pay in full this Note on the
Maturity Date;  (b)  the adjudication of Maker as a bankrupt or insolvent, or an
assignment by Maker for the benefit of creditors; (c)  the voluntary, or
involuntary, appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar officer for Maker or
for any substantial part of its property or business, and which appointment, if
involuntary, shall have continued for a period of ninety (90) days;  (d)  the
voluntary, or involuntary, institution of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding
relating to the Company, and which, if involuntary, shall have continued for as
period of ninety (90) days.

     This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Florida.

     This payment of this Note is secured by a security agreement and UCC-1
financing statement, of even date herewith, on certain personal property of
Maker and being used in the business of Maker.
