         $5,000,000                                             McLean, Virginia

                  FOR VALUE  RECEIVED,  COMARCO,  INC., a corporation  organized
         under the laws of the State of California (the  "Borrower")promises  to
         pay to the order of NATIONSBANK,  N.A., a national banking association,
         its  successors and assigns (the  "Lender"),  the principal sum of FIVE
         MILLION DOLLARS  ($5,000,000) (the "Principal Sum"), or so much thereof
         as has been or may be advanced or  readvanced  to or for the account of
         the  Borrower,  together  with  interest  thereon  at the rate or rates
         hereinafter provided, in accordance with the following:

                  1.  Interest.  Except as otherwise  expressly set forth below,
         amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Prime Rate (as
         hereinafter  defined,  plus  the  Additional  Percentage   (hereinafter
         defined).

                  For purposes  hereof,  the "Prime Rate" means the  fluctuating
         prime rate of interest established and declared by the Lender from time
         to time. The Prime Rate does not necessarily  represent the lowest rate
         of interest charged by the Lender to its borrowers.

                  For purposes hereof,  the "Additional  Percentage"  shall mean
         the  percentage   applicable  to  this  Note  in  accordance  with  the
         following:

                           (i) If the Borrower's  ratio of Total  Liabilities to
         Tangible  Net  Worth  is less  than or  equal  to  1.50  to  1.00,  the
         Additional Percentage shall be one eighth of one percent (.125%);

                           (ii) If the Borrower's ratio of Total  Liabilities to
         Tangible Net Worth is greater than 1.50 to 1.00, but less than or equal
         to 2.00 to 1.00,  the Additional  Percentage  shall be three eighths of
         one percent (.375%); and

                           (iii) If the Borrower's ratio of Total Liabilities to
         Tangible  Net  Worth  is  greater  than  2.00 to 1.00,  the  Additional
         Percentage shall be five eighths of one percent (.625%).

         The initial  Additional  Percentage  shall be  calculated  based on the
         Borrower's  consolidated  financial  statements  for the quarter ending
         April  30, 1997.   Thereafter,  the  applicable  Additional  Percentage
         shall be  calculated  and adjusted  quarterly,  based on the  quarterly
         financial statements required to be submitted to the Lender pursuant to
         paragraph  4(a) of Article  VI of the Loan  Agreement.  Such  quarterly
         changes  shall be  effective  commencing  five (5)  Banking  Days after
         submission  by the Borrower of the required  financial  statements;  it
         being understood,  however,  that in the event the quarterly  financial
         statements are not submitted when due, the Applicable  Percentage shall
         be five  eighths  of one  percent  (.625%)  until such  financials  are
         submitted as required, at which time the Applicable Percentage (for the
         balance  of the  quarterly  period)  shall be  determined  as set forth
         above.

         In  addition,  so long as no event  of  default  or any  act,  event or
         condition  which,  with  notice or the  passage of time or both,  would
         constitute an event of default under any Loan Document has occurred and
         is  continuing,  the  Borrower  shall  have the  right  to  elect  that
         specified amounts advanced under this Note, bear interest for specified
         periods  (each  being  herein  referred  to as a  "LIBOR  Rate  Funding
         Period"),  at the LIBOR Rate, plus the Additional LIBOR Rate Percentage
         (as  hereinafter  defined) in effect at the  commencement  of the LIBOR
         Rate Funding Period.  Election by the Borrower of a LIBOR Rate interest
         rate as herein  provided  shall be made in a writing  delivered  to the
         Lender  not less than  three (3)  Banking  Days prior to the date of on
         which the LIBOR Rate is to begin, and shall specify (1) the banking day
         on which the LIBOR Rate is to be effective and the period for which the
         LIBOR Rate shall be  applicable  (which shall be only 30, 60, 90 or 180
         days and the  expiration  of which may not be later than the  "Maturity
         Date");  and (2) the  principal  amount of this Note  which  shall bear
         interest at the LIBOR Rate,  plus the Applicable  LIBOR Rate Percentage
         (each being herein referred to as a "LIBOR Rate Funding Segment").  The
         Borrower may not revoke any such election  without the Lender's written
         consent.  Upon the  expiration  of an  applicable  LIBOR  Rate  Funding
         Period,  unless notice of LIBOR Rate  election  from the Borrower,  the
         rate of interest  applicable to any LIBOR Rate Funding  Segment  (after
         the expiration thereof) shall  automatically  convert at the end of the
         applicable  LIBOR Rate  Funding  Period,  to the Prime  Rate,  plus the
         Applicable Percentage.

         For purposes hereof,  the "LIBOR Rate" shall mean the per annum rate of
         interest, as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion,  at which
         deposits in United States Dollars in an amount  approximately  equal to
         the  amount  for  which  the  rate is to be fixed  and with  maturities
         comparable to the interest period  selected by the Borrower,  to be the
         averages  of rates per annum for 11:00  a.m.  (London,  time),  two (2)
         Banking Days prior to the first day of such LIBOR Rate  Funding  Period
         for delivery on the first such day of such LIBOR Rate  Funding  Period,
         in amounts comparable to the applicable LIBOR Rate Funding Segment,  as
         adjusted for Federal  Reserve  Board reserve  requirements  and similar
         assessments, if any, imposed upon the Lender.

         For purposes hereof,  the "Additional LIBOR Rate Percentage" shall mean
         the  percentage   applicable  to  this  Note  in  accordance  with  the
         following:

                  (i) If the Borrower's  ratio of Total  Liabilities to Tangible
         Net Worth is less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00, the  Additional  LIBOR
         Rate Percentage shall be one and five eighths percent (1.625%);

                  (ii) If the Borrower's ratio of Total  Liabilities to Tangible
         Net Worth is greater than 1.50 to 1.00,  but less than or equal to 2.00
         to 1.00, the Additional  LIBOR Rate  Percentage  shall be one and seven
         eighths percent (1.875%); and

                  (iii) If the Borrower's ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible
         Net Worth is  greater  than 2.00 to 1.00,  the  Additional  LIBOR  Rate
         Percentage shall be two and one eighth percent (2.125%).

         The initial  Additional LIBOR Rate Percentage shall be calculated based
         on the  Borrower's  consolidated  financial  statements for the quarter
         ending  April 30, 1997.  Thereafter, the  applicable  Additional  LIBOR
         Rate  Percentage  shall  be  calculated  and  adjusted quarterly, based
         on the quarterly  financial  statements required to be submitted to the
         Lender  pursuant to paragraph 4(a) of Article VI of the Loan Agreement.
         Such quarterly  changes shall be effective  commencing five (5) Banking
         Days  after  submission  by  the  Borrower  of the  required  financial
         statements;  it  being  understood,  however,  that  in the  event  the
         quarterly  financial   statements  are  not  submitted  when  due,  the
         Applicable  LIBOR Rate Percentage  shall be two and one eighths percent
         (2.125%) until such financial statements are submitted as required,  at
         which time the Applicable LIBOR Rate Percentage (for the balance of the
         quarterly  period)  shall  be  determined  as set  forth  above.  It is
         expressly  understood,  however,  that once the  additional  LIBOR Rate
         Percentage is determined in connection  with any particular  LIBOR Rate
         Funding Segment,  such Additional LIBOR Rate Percentage shall remain in
         effect for the period for which the  applicable  LIBOR Rate election is
         made.

                  All  interest  payable  under the terms of this Note  shall be
         calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
         elapsed.

                  2. Payments and Maturity.  The unpaid Principal Sum,  together
         with interest  thereon at the rate or rates  provided  above,  shall be
         payable as follows:

                           (a) Except as otherwise  provided in this Note,  this
         Note shall be payable in successive monthly installments of accrued and
         unpaid interest only, on the last day of each month commencing July 31,
         1997, and on the last day of each month thereafter to maturity;

                           (b) Unless  sooner paid,  the unpaid  Principal  Sum,
         together with all accrued and unpaid interest  thereon shall be due and
         payable in full on May 31, 1998.

                           The fact that the balance hereunder may be reduced to
         zero from time to time pursuant to the Loan  Agreement  will not affect
         the  continuing  validity of this Note or the Loan  Agreement,  and the
         balance may be increased to the Principal Sum after any such  reduction
         to zero.

                  3.  Default  Interest.  Upon  the  occurrence  of an  Event of
         Default (as hereinafter  defined),  the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear
         interest  thereafter  at a rate two percent (2%) per annum in excess of
         the then highest current rate or rates of interest hereunder until such
         Event of Default is cured.

                  4.  Late  Charges.  If the  Borrower  shall  fail to make  any
         payment  under the terms of this Note  within  five (5) days  after the
         date such  payment  is due,  the  Borrower  shall pay to the  Lender on
         demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.

                  5. Application and Place of Payments.  All payments  hereunder
         shall be applied  first to the payment of any late charges and costs of
         collections  then due  hereunder,  second to the payment of accrued and
         unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be
         applied to the unpaid  Principal  Sum.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,
         accrued and unpaid interest on amounts  outstanding  hereunder  bearing
         interest on a LIBOR Rate basis shall be due and payable on the last day
         of the applicable  LIBOR Rate Funding Period (as herein defined) and if
         such LIBOR Rate Funding  Period is longer than ninety (90) days, on the
         ninetieth (90th) day of each LIBOR Rate Funding Period. All payments on
         account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States
         of  America  in  immediately  available  funds on or before  11:00 a.m.
         (Washington,  D.C. time) at its principal office in McLean, Virginia or
         at such  other  times and places as the Lender may at any time and from
         time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.

                  6.  Prepayment.  The  Borrower  may  prepay  amounts  accruing
         interest  based on the  Prime  Rate,  in whole or in part,  at any time
         without notice to the Lender without premium or penalty.  No prepayment
         of any other amounts  outstanding  hereunder shall be permitted without
         the prior written consent of the Lender.

                  7. Loan Agreement and Other Loan  Documents.  This Note is the

                           (a) The failure of the  Borrower to pay to the Lender
         within  five (5) days of when due any and all  amounts  payable  by the

         payable by the Borrower to the Lender  without  notice to the Borrower,
         or any other  person,  and the  Lender  shall  have all of the  rights,
         powers, and remedies available under the terms of this Note, any of the
         other  Loan  Documents  and all  applicable  laws.  The  Borrower,  the
         Guarantors and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now
         or in the future be primarily or secondarily  liable for the payment of
         the  indebtedness   evidenced  by  this  Note  hereby  severally  waive
         presentment,  protest and demand,  notice of protest,  notice of demand
         and of dishonor and  non-payment of this Note and expressly  agree that

         without in any way affecting  the  liability of the  Borrower,  and any
         guarantors and endorsers.

                  10.  Expenses.  The Borrower  promises to pay to the Lender on
         demand by the Lender all costs and  expenses  incurred by the Lender in

         or hereafter  existing under any  applicable law or otherwise  shall be
         cumulative  and  concurrent  and shall be in  addition  to every  other
         right,  power,  or remedy provided for in this Note or any of the other
         Loan Documents or now or hereafter  existing under any applicable  law,
         and the  exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender of any one
         or more of such  rights,  powers,  or remedies  shall not  preclude the
         simultaneous  or later  exercise by the Lender of any or all such other
         rights,  powers,  or  remedies.  No  failure  or delay by the Lender to
         insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or
         agreement  of  this  Note or any of the  other  Loan  Documents,  or to
         exercise any right,  power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof,
         shall  constitute a waiver of any such term,  condition,  covenant,  or
         agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender from exercising
         any such right, power, or remedy at a later time or times. By accepting
         payment  after the due date of any  amount  payable  under the terms of
         this Note,  the Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to
         require prompt payment when due of all other amounts  payable under the
         terms of this Note or to declare an Event of Default for the failure to
         effect  such  prompt  payment  of any such other  amount.  No course of
         dealing or conduct shall be effective to amend, modify, waive, release,
         or change any provisions of this Note.

                  13.  Partial  Invalidity.  In the event any  provision of this
         Note (or any  part of any  provision)  is held by a court of  competent
         jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal,  or unenforceable in any respect,
         such invalidity,  illegality,  or unenforceability shall not affect any
         other  provision (or remaining part of the affected  provision) of this
         Note; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid,  illegal, or
         unenforceable  provision  (or part  thereof) had not been  contained in

         unenforceable.

                  14.   Captions.   The  captions   herein  set  forth  are  for
         convenience only and shall not be deemed to define,  limit, or describe
         the scope or intent of this Note.

                  15. Applicable Law. The Borrower  acknowledges and agrees that
         this  Note  shall  be  governed  by the  laws  of the  Commonwealth  of
         Virginia,  even  though for the  convenience  and at the request of the
         Borrower, this Note may be executed elsewhere.

                  16. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim between or among the
         parties  hereto  including  but not limited to those  arising out of or
         relating  to  this  Agreement  or any of the  other  Loan  Documents  ,
         including any claim based on or arising from any alleged tort, shall be
         determined  by  binding  arbitration  in  accordance  with the  Federal
         Arbitration Act (or if not applicable,  the applicable  state law), the
         rules of practice  and  procedure  for the  arbitration  of  commercial
         disputes  of  Judicial   Arbitration  and  Mediation   Services,   Inc.
         (J.A.M.S.) and the "special rules" set forth below. In the event of any
         inconsistency,  the special  rules  shall  control.  Judgment  upon any
         arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Any
         party to this  agreement  may bring an action,  including  a summary or
         expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim
         to which this Agreement  applies in any court having  jurisdiction over
         such action.

                           (a) Special Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted
         in the  city of the  Borrower's  domicile  at time of this  Agreement's
         execution and administered by J.A.M.S.  who will appoint an arbitrator;
         if  J.A.M.S.  is unable or legally  precluded  from  administering  the
         arbitration,  then the American Arbitration Association will serve. All
         arbitration hearings will be commenced within 90 days of the demand for
         arbitration;  further,  the  arbitrator  shall only,  upon a showing of
         cause,  be permitted to extend the  commencement of such hearing for up
         to an additional 60 days.

                           (b) Reservation of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement
         shall  be  deemed  to (i)  limit  the  applicability  of any  otherwise
         applicable  statutes of limitation or repose and any waivers  contained
         in this  Note  or (ii) be a  waiver  by the  Lender  of the  protection
         afforded to it by 12 U.S.C. Section 91 or any substantially  equivalent
         state law; or (iii) limit the right of the Lender (a) to exercise  self
         help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff,  or (b) to foreclose
         against any real or personal property collateral, or (c) to obtain from
         a court provisional or ancillary  remedies such as (but not limited to)
         injunctive relief, writ of possession or the appointment of a receiver.
         Lender  may  exercise  such self  help  rights,  foreclosure  upon such
         property,  or obtain such  provisional  or ancillary  remedies  before,
         during or after the  pendency  of any  arbitration  proceeding  brought
         pursuant to this Agreement.  Neither the exercise of self help remedies
         nor the  institution  or  maintenance  of an action for  foreclosure or
         provisional  or  ancillary  remedies  shall  constitute a waiver of the
         right of any party,  including  the  claimant  in any such  action,  to
         arbitrate the merits of the controversy or claim occasioning  resort to
         such remedies.

         3.  Governing  Law,  Etc.  This  Agreement  shall  be  governed  by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the  Commonwealth of Virginia and shall
be deemed to be an instrument under seal pursuant to said law. The headings used
in this  Agreement are for the  convenience of the parties and shall not be used
to interpret or construe the provisions hereof.

indebtedness  evidenced by the Second  Replacement  Guidance Line of Credit Note
has not been  extinguished  or  discharged  hereby.  The Borrower and the Lender
agree that the  execution of this  Agreement is not intended and shall not cause
or result in a novation with regard to the Second  Replacement  Guidance Line of
Credit Note.
