FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Crdentia Corp, a Delaware corporation ("Payor"), hereby

($1,650,000), together with interest thereon from the date of this
Promissory Note (the "Note") on the unpaid principal balance as set forth
below.

This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of September 15, 2003 by and among Payor, NAS

the shareholders of the New Age Staffing (the "Merger Agreement").  All

provided in the Merger Agreement.

The principal balance of this Note shall be payable in installments as
follows:  (a) $265,000 of principal shall be due on the earlier to occur of
October 15, 2003, or the fifth business day after the closing of a financing

The installment of principal due under clause (b) above and $332,500 of the

This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium
or penalty.  All payments received under this Note shall be applied first
to any installment of interest then due but unpaid, and second to the
principal installments due hereunder in order of their maturity.

This Note shall be subordinated to all Senior Debt on the following terms:
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payment of principal or
interest shall be made on this Note if, but only as long as, there exists
any default, or the existence of any event which, with the giving of notice,
would constitute a default, in the payment of Senior Debt, as determined by
the terms of any such Senior Debt; provided, however, that such payment
prohibition may not continue in effect for more than six months, and, after
the expiration of such six month period, Payee may avail himself or herself
of all legal remedies against Payor accruing as a result of any continuing
failure by Payor to make all payments then due under this Note, including,
without limitation, acceleration of all remaining principal payments due
hereunder by written notice to Payor.  This Note shall be pari-passu with
all other seller financing incurred in connection with Parent Acquisitions
consummated prior to, or following, the date hereof.  Payor and Payee shall
execute, at or following the date hereof, as the case may be, all
subordination documents required by the holders of Senior Debt necessary
to effectuate the terms of the foregoing.

If any payment on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday, or a
public holiday under the laws of the State of California, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of
time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such
payment.

Upon payment in full of all principal, interest, and fees and costs payable
hereunder, this Note shall be surrendered to Payor for cancellation.

Payor waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance,
protest, notice of protest, and notice of dishonor.  No delay on the part
of Payee in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of
such right under this Note.  This Note is being delivered in and shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

If Payor defaults and the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part
thereof is collected through legal action or other judicial proceedings,
Payor agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and interest payable
hereon, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Payee.

Any notice or other communication (except payment) required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given, and
any payment shall be deemed to have been made, upon delivery if personally
delivered or two days after deposit if deposited in the United States mail
for mailing by certified mail, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:
