         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Greg Dollarhyde ("Borrower"),
                                                                --------

the first anniversary of the date of Borrower's termination of employment with
Company by Borrower as a result of Company's material breach of the Employment
Agreement dated November 24, 1998 by and between Borrower and Company, as in
effect from time to time (the "Employment Agreement") (as set forth in Section
6(a)(v) thereof); (4) the 180th day following the date of Borrower's termination
of employment with Company by reason of (i) termination by Company without "just
cause" pursuant to Section 6(a)(vi) of the Employment Agreement or (ii)
termination by mutual consent of Borrower and Company; or (5) the 90th day
following the date of Borrower's termination of employment with Company for any
reason not specified in subsections (3) and (4) above. All accrued and unpaid
interest under this Note shall be due and payable, concurrently with principal.
On the Maturity Date the entire remaining unpaid principal balance of this Note,
together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest and any and all costs and
expenses provided for under this Note and the Pledge Agreement, shall be due and
payable.

         All payments under this Note shall be made to Company or its order, in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds
and delivered to Company by wire transfer to Company's account as set forth in
written instructions delivered by Company to Borrower prior to the Maturity Date
or at the offices of Company at its then principal place of business or at such
other place as Company or any holder hereof shall designate in writing for such
purpose from time to time. If a payment under this Note otherwise would become
due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday, and interest shall be payable thereon during such extension. All
amounts due under this Note and the Pledge Agreement shall be payable without
defense, set off or counterclaim.

         Each payment under this Note shall applied in the following order: (i)
to the payment of costs and expenses provided for under this Note or the Pledge
Agreement; (ii) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest; and (iii) to the
payment of outstanding principal. Company and each holder hereof shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all
payments under this Note.

         This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without
penalty except that interest shall be paid to the date of payment on the
principal amount prepaid.

         This Note shall not be assignable by either of Company or Borrower
without the written consent of the other.

         Upon the occurrence of a default under this Note or the Pledge
Agreement, including, without limitation, failure to make any principal or
interest payment by the stated maturity (whether by acceleration, notice of
prepayment or otherwise) for such payment, interest shall thereafter accrue on
the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note, including, without
limitation, any delinquent interest which has been added to the principal amount
due under this Note pursuant to the terms hereof, at the rate set forth herein
plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed) or, if lower, the maximum rate from time to time
permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon the occurrence of a default under
this Note or the Pledge Agreement, the holder of this Note may, at its option,
without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any other party, declare
immediately due and payable the entire principal balance hereof together with
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus any other amounts then owing
pursuant to this Note or the Pledge Agreement, whereupon the same shall be
immediately due and payable. On each anniversary of the date of any default
under this Note and while such default is continuing, all interest which has
become payable and is then delinquent shall, without curing the default under
this Note by reason of such delinquency, be added to the principal amount due
under this Note, and shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is
applicable to principal, with interest on overdue interest to bear interest, in
each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, both before and
after default, maturity, foreclosure, judgment and the filing of any petition in
a bankruptcy proceeding. In no event shall interest be charged under this Note
which would violate any applicable law.

         This Note is secured under that certain Repayment and Stock Pledge
Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between Borrower and Company
(as amended from time to time, the "Pledge Agreement"). Reference is hereby made
                                    ----------------
to the Pledge Agreement for a description of the nature and extent of the
security for this Note and the rights with respect to such security of the
holder of this Note. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of
Company under this Note or the Pledge Agreement, all of which rights and
remedies are cumulative.

         No waiver or modification of any of the terms of this Note shall be
valid or binding unless set forth in a writing specifically referring to this
Note and signed by a duly authorized officer of Company or any holder of this
Note, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.

         If any default occurs in any payment due under this Note, Borrower and
all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors and assigns, promise
to pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by each
holder hereof in collecting or attempting to collect the indebtedness under this
Note, whether or not any action or proceeding is commenced. None of the

acceptance of any past due installments or by any indulgence granted by the
holder to Borrower.

         Borrower and all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors
and assigns, hereby waive presentment, demand, diligence, protest and notice of
every kind (except such notices as may be required under the Pledge Agreement),

they shall remain liable for amounts due under this Note notwithstanding any
extension of time or change in the terms of payment of this Note granted by any
holder hereof, any change, alteration or release of any property now or
hereafter securing the payment hereof or any delay or failure by the holder
hereof to exercise any rights under this Note or the Pledge Agreement. Borrower
and all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors and assigns,
hereby waive the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense
to a demand under this Note to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         This Note shall inure to the benefit of Company, its successors and
assigns and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns of Borrower. Each reference herein to powers or rights of Company shall
also be deemed a reference to the same power or right of such assignees, to the
extent of the interest assigned to them.

         In the event that any one or more provisions of this Note shall be held
to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the same shall not affect any
other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall
remain in full force and effect.

         This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles thereof
relating to conflicts of law; provided, that Company and each holder hereof
                              --------
reserves any and all rights it may have under federal law, including without
limitation those relating to the charging of interest.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be duly executed
