         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, International Cosmetics Marketing Co., a Florida corporation (the
"COMPANY" or the "MAKER"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Nico P. Pronk
("HOLDER") on demand (the "MATURITY DATE"), the principal amount of One Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) (the "NOTE") plus all accrued interest
in arrears from and including the date hereof on the principal balance from time
to time outstanding, compounded daily, at a rate per annum equal to six percent
(6%). This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time or from time to
time, without premium or penalty. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Note to the contrary, Holder does not intend to charge and the
Company shall not be required to pay any interest or other fees or charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law and any payments in excess of
such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce principal
hereunder. All payments received by Holder hereunder will be applied first to
costs of collection, if any, then to interest and the balance to principal.
Holder's rights under this Note shall be senior to any bank or other debt or
loan obligations, currently existing or subsequently made, of Maker.

         The payment of principal and interest will be made by check, wire
transfer, or such other means as Holder shall agree, in immediately available
United States funds sent to Holder at the address furnished to the Company for
that purpose.

         This Note will be registered on the books of the Company or its agent
as to principal and interest. Any transfer of this Note will be effected only by
surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the
transferee.

         Payment of this Note is secured by a security interest in all assets of
the Maker and each of its affiliates and subsidiaries pursuant to a Security
Agreement of even date herewith between the Maker and the Holder.

         1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The outstanding principal and accrued interest on
this Note shall, at the option of Holder hereof, become due and payable without
notice or demand, upon the happening of any one of the following specified

performance by the Company of any other obligation to Holder, which default is
not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default from

relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness,
reorganizations, compositions, or extensions; (f) the filing of any petition or
the commencement of any proceeding against the Company for any relief under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any laws relating to the relief of debtors,
readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions, or extensions,
which proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; (g) suspension of the
transaction of the usual business of the Company; (h) the past or future making
