then equal the  outstanding  principal  amount  hereof  and any  unpaid  accrued
interest  hereon,  as set forth  below,  which  shall be due and  payable on the
earliest  to occur of (a) (1)  February  28,  2002,  (2)  receipt by Debtor from

and payable by Holder subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

                  1. Interest and Payment.  This Note shall bear interest on the

Date  or  five  (5)  days  prior  to  any  prepayment  permitted  hereunder,  as
applicable,  Debtor and Holder have agreed upon the value of options to purchase
shares of Debtor's  common stock (the  "Interest  Options")  or a procedure  for
valuing the Interest Options, then Holder may elect (in lieu of cash) to receive
payment of the  principal  of, or  interest  on, this Note (or both) in Interest
Options.

     2.  Events of Default.  If any of the events  specified  in this  Section 2
shall occur  (herein  individually  referred to as an "Event of  Default"),  the
Holder of the Note may,  so long as such  condition  exists,  declare the entire
principal and unpaid accrued  interest hereon  immediately  due and payable,  by
notice in writing to Debtor:

                    (a) If Debtor  shall have  failed to pay the full  amount of
               outstanding  principal due under this Note and any unpaid accrued
               interest hereon, as of 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles,  California time on
               the Maturity Date; or

                    (b)  The   institution   by  Debtor  of  proceedings  to  be
               adjudicated  as  bankrupt or  insolvent,  or the consent by it to
               institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or
               the  filing by it of a  petition  or answer  or  consent  seeking
               reorganization  or release under the federal  Bankruptcy  Act, or
               any other  applicable  federal or state law, or the consent by it
               to the  filing  of any  such  petition  or the  appointment  of a
               receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official
               of Debtor,  or of any  substantial  part of its property,  or the
               making by it of an assignment  for the benefit of  creditors,  or
               the taking of corporate  action by Debtor in  furtherance  of any
               such action; or

                    (c) If, (i) within sixty (60) days after the commencement of
               an action  against  Debtor (and service of process in  connection
               therewith  on  Debtor)   seeking  any   bankruptcy,   insolvency,
               reorganization,  liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under
               any present or future  statute,  law or  regulation,  such action
               shall  not have  been  dismissed  or all  orders  or  proceedings
               thereunder  affecting  the  operations  or the business of Debtor
               stayed,  or (ii) the stay of any such order or  proceeding  shall
               thereafter  be set aside,  or (iii)  within sixty (60) days after
               the appointment  without the consent or acquiescence of Debtor or
               any trustee,  receiver or  liquidator  of Debtor or of all or any
               substantial  part of the properties of Debtor,  such  appointment
               shall not have been vacated.

     3.  Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  and so long as
such Event of Default  continues,  the entire balance of principal together with
all accrued interest shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus three percent
(3%).  No delay or  omission on the part of the Holder in  exercising  any right
under this Note or the Security  Agreement (as defined  below) will operate as a
waiver of such right.

     4.  Attorneys'  Fees.  Debtor shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel to Holder in connection  with the preparation and execution of this Note
and the Security Agreement. If this Note is not paid when due or if any Event of
Default  occurs,  Debtor  shall pay all  costs of  enforcement  and  collection,
including without limitation,  reasonable fees and expenses of counsel,  whether
or not any action or proceeding is brought to enforce the provisions hereof.

     5.  Security.  This Note is secured by the Security  Agreement of even date
herewith,  by and between  Debtor and Holder (the "Security  Agreement"),  under
which Holder has been granted a first priority  security interest in the Initial
Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).

     6.  Exchange of Note.  Holder  shall be entitled to exchange  this Note for
another Note  representing  the same rights,  upon surrender of this Note at the
principal office of Debtor. Also, on receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Debtor of the loss, theft,  destruction or mutilation of the Note, and in the
case of loss,  theft or  destruction,  on  delivery  of an  indemnity  agreement
reasonably  satisfactory  to Debtor or, in the case of mutilation,  on surrender
and cancellation of the mutilated Note,  Debtor at its expense shall execute and
deliver, in lieu of the Note, a new Note of the same form and amount.

     7.  Prepayment.  Debtor may,  without  premium or penalty,  prepay all or a
portion of the outstanding  principal balance due under this Note, provided that
each such  prepayment  is  accompanied  by  accrued  interest  on the  amount of
principal repaid calculated to the date of such prepayment.

     8. Waiver. Debtor hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand,
notice of protest,  dishonor and nonpayment of this Note,  and expressly  agrees
that, without in any way affecting the liability of Debtor hereunder, Holder may
extend the Maturity Date, accept additional  security,  release any party liable
hereunder and release any security now or hereafter  securing this Note.  Debtor
further waives,  to the extent  permitted by law, the right to plead any and all
statutes  of  limitations  as a defense to any  demand on this  Note,  or on the
Security Agreement or any deed of trust,  security  agreement,  lease agreement,
guaranty or other agreement now or hereafter securing this Note.

     9.  Amendment.  All amendments to this Note require the written  consent of
Debtor and Holder.

     10. Interest Rate Limitation.  It is the intent of Debtor and Holder in the
execution of this Note and the Security Agreement that the loan evidenced hereby
be exempt  from the  restrictions  of the usury laws of the State of  California
pursuant to Section 25118 of the California Corporations Code. Debtor and Holder
stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein or in
the Security Agreement shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use,
forbearance  or  detention of money  requiring  payment of interest at a rate in
excess of the maximum  interest rate  permitted to be charged by the laws of the
State of California.  If Holder  collects  monies which are deemed to constitute
interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note
to a rate in excess of the maximum  rate  permitted to be charged by the laws of
the State of California,  all such sums deemed to constitute  interest in excess
of such maximum rate will,  at the option of Holder,  be credited to the payment
of the sums due hereunder or returned to Debtor.

     11.  Signatures.  If this Note bears the signatures of individuals who were
the proper officers of Debtor at the time of signing, such signatures shall bind
Debtor, notwithstanding that any such individuals shall have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the delivery of this Note.

     12. Notices.  All notices to Debtor under this Note shall be in writing and
addressed to Debtor at 2335 Alaska Avenue, El Segundo,  California 90245,  Attn:
General Counsel and Corporate  Secretary,  or to other such address of Debtor as
Debtor may notify Holder.

     13.  Governing Law. This Note shall be construed,  interpreted and governed
by the laws of the State of California,  without regard to its  conflicts-of-law
provisions.

     14.  Headings.  All headings used herein are used for convenience  only and
shall not be used to construe or interpret this Note.
