      For value
received, RIM SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANY, a Utah corporation (“Maker”),
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Charles Sheppard (“Payee”),
on or before June 3, 2009
(the “Maturity
Date”) the

      1.           Principal and
Interest.  Maker promises to pay on the Maturity Date: (a) the
principal amount of this Note and (b) interest on the principal amount at the
rate of the lesser of: (i) the maximum amount permitted by law, and (ii) ten
percent (10%) per annum, compounded annually, based on a three hundred
sixty-five day year.  Maker shall pay the principal and the interest
in a lump sum on the Maturity Date.  All payments hereunder shall be
in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be made to
Payee.  Without prejudice to the other rights of Payee pursuant to
this Note, if Maker fails to pay any amounts due on this Note after demand, all
unpaid amounts shall accrue interest at the lesser of: (a) the maximum amount
permitted by law and (b) ten percent (10%) per annum, until paid.

       

      2.           Right to
Prepay.  The principal amount hereof may be prepaid in whole or
in part without prepayment penalty.  Any prepayment of the principal
amount hereof, whether in part or in whole, shall include accrued interest to
the date of prepayment on the principal amount being paid.

       

      3.           Costs and
Expenses.  Maker promises to pay, upon Payee's demand therefor,
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (defined as being
actual hours worked at the standard billing rates of the attorneys involved in
any matter), incurred in the collection and enforcement of this
Note.

       

      4.           Waiver.  No
delay on the part of Payee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Payee
of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  No waiver by Payee of
any right or remedy hereunder shall be effective unless in a writing signed by
Payee.

       

      5.           Amendments.  No
amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision
of this Note shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed and delivered by Payee, and then any such amendment, modification,
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.
