FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on JANUARY 4, 2000, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises
to pay to the order of UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. ("Bank"), as indicated
below, the principal sum of FIFTEEN MILLION AND NO/100 Dollars
($15,000,000.00), or so much thereof as is disbursed, together with interest
on the balance of such principal from time to time outstanding, at the per
annum rate or rates at the times set forth below.

1. INTEREST PAYMENTS. Debtors shall pay interest on the 2ND day of each MONTH
(commencing DECEMBER 2, 1998). Should interest not be paid when due, it shall
become part of the principal and bear interest as herein provided. All
computations of interest under this note shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days, for actual days elapsed.

     a. BASE INTEREST RATE. At Debtor's option, amounts outstanding hereunder
     in minimum amounts of at least $500,000.00 shall bear interest at a rate
     which is equal to Bank's LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period selected by
     Debtor, plus the Applicable Margin.

     No Base Interest Rate may be changed, altered or otherwise modified
     until the expiration of the Interest Period selected by Debtor. The
     exercise of interest rate options by Debtor shall be as recorded in
     Bank's records, which records shall be prima facie evidence of the
     amount borrowed under either interest option and the interest rate;
     provided, however, that failure of Bank to make any such notation in
     its records shall not discharge Debtor from its obligations to repay
     in full with interest all amounts borrowed. In no event shall any
     Interest Period extend beyond the maturity date of this note.

     To exercise this option, Debtor may, from time to time with respect to
     principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate is not accruing, and
     on the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to principal
     outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate has been accruing, select an
     index offered by Bank for a Base Interest Rate Loan and an Interest
     Period by telephoning an authorized lending officer of Bank located at
     the banking office identified below prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time,
     on any Business Day and advising that officer of the selected index, the
     Interest Period and the Origination Date selected (which Origination
     Date, for a  Base Interest Rate Loan based on the LIBOR-Rate, shall
     follow the date of such selection by no more than two (2) Business Days).

     Bank will mail a written confirmation of the terms of the selection to
     Debtor promptly after the selection is made. Failure to send such
     confirmation shall not effect Bank's rights to collect interest at the
     rate selected. If, on the date of the selection, the index selected is
     unavailable for any reason, the selection shall be void. Bank reserves
     the right to fund the principal from any source of funds notwithstanding
     any Base Interest Rate selected by Debtor.

     b. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. All principal outstanding hereunder which is
     not bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate shall bear interest at a
     rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin,
     which rate shall vary as and when the Reference Rate or the Applicable
     Margin, as the case may be, changes.

     At any time prior to the maturity of this note, subject to the
     provisions of paragraph 4, below, of this note, Debtor may borrow, repay
     and reborrow hereon so long as the total outstanding at any one time
     does not exceed the principal amount of this note. Debtor shall pay all
     amounts due under this note in lawful money of the United States at
     Bank's ORANGE COUNTY COMMERCIAL BANKING Office, or such other office as
     may be designated by Bank, from time to time.

2. LATE PAYMENTS. If any payments required by the terms of this note shall
remain unpaid ten days after same is due, at the option of Bank, Debtor shall
pay a fee of $100 to Bank.

3. INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT. In the event of default, at the option of
Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on the
outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to five
percent (5%) in excess of the interest rate specified in paragraph 1.b,
above, calculated from the date of default until all amounts payable
under this note are paid in full.

4. PREPAYMENT.

     a. Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a rate based
     on the Reference Rate may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time,
     without penalty or premium. Debtor may prepay amounts outstanding under
     this note bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate in whole or in part
     provided Debtor has given Bank not less than five (5) Business Days
     prior written notice of Debtor's intention to make such prepayment and
     pays to Bank the liquidated damages due as a result. Liquidated Damages
     shall also be paid, if Bank, for any other reason, including acceleration
     or foreclosure, receives all or any portion of principal bearing
     interest at a Base Interest Rate prior to its scheduled payment date.
     Liquidated Damages shall be an amount equal to the present value of the
     product of: (i) the difference (but not less than zero) between (a) the
     Base Interest Rate applicable to the principal amount which is being
     prepaid, and (b) the return which Bank could obtain if it used the
     amount of such prepayment of principal to purchase at bid price
     regularly quoted securities issued by the United States having a
     maturity date most closely coinciding with the relevant Base Rate
     Maturity Date and such securities were held by Bank until the relevant
     Base Rate Maturity Date ("Yield Rate"); (ii) a fraction, the numerator
     of which is the number of days in the period between the date of
     prepayment and the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and the denominator
     of which is 360; and (iii) the amount of the principal so prepaid
     (except in the event that principal payments are required and have been
     made as scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being
     prepaid, then an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount prepaid or
     (B) 50% of the sum of (1) the amount prepaid and (2) the amount of
     principal scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being
     prepaid to be outstanding at the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date).
     Present value under this note is determined by discounting the above
     product to present value using the Yield Rate as the annual discount
     factor.

     b. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund
     to Debtor, nor shall Debtor be entitled to any setoff or other claim
     against Bank, should the return which Bank could obtain under this
     prepayment formula exceed the interest that Bank would have received if
     no prepayment had occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of
     accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid and shall be applied
     to payment of interest before application to principal. A determination
     by Bank as to the prepayment fee amount, if any, shall be conclusive.

     c. Bank shall provide Debtor a statement of the amount payable on
     account of prepayment. Debtor acknowledges that (i) Bank establishes a
     Base Interest Rate upon the understanding that it apply to the Base
     Interest Loan for the entire Interest Period, and (ii) any prepayment
     may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses or liabilities;
     and Debtor agrees to pay these liquidated damages as a reasonable
     estimate of the costs, expenses and liabilities of Bank associated with
     such prepayment.

5. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT. Default shall include, but
not be limited to, any of the following: (a) the failure of Debtor to make
any payment required under this note when due; (b) any breach,
misrepresentation or other default by Debtor, any guarantor, co-maker,
endorser, or any person or entity other than Debtor providing security for
this note (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the
"Obligor") under any security agreement, guaranty or other agreement between
Bank and any Obligor; (c) the insolvency of any Obligor or the failure of any
Obligor generally to pay such Obligor's debts as such debts become due; (d)
the commencement as to any Obligor of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding
under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, debt adjustment or debtor relief; (e) the assignment by any
Obligor for the benefit of such Obligor's creditors; (f) the appointment, or
commencement of any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or similar official for all or substantially all of any Obligor's
property; (g) the commencement of any proceeding for the dissolution or
liquidation of any Obligor; (h) the termination of existence or death of any
Obligor; (i) the revocation of any guaranty or subordination agreement given
in connection with this note; (j) the failure of any Obligor to comply with
any order, judgement, injunction, decree, writ or demand of any court or
other public authority; (k) the filing or recording against any Obligor, or
the property of any Obligor, of any notice of levy, notice to withhold, or
other legal process for taxes other than property taxes; (l) the default by
any Obligor personally liable for amounts owed hereunder on any obligation
concerning the borrowing of money; (m) the issuance against any Obligor, or
the property of any Obligor, of any writ of attachment, execution, or other
judicial lien; or (n) the deterioration of the financial condition of any
Obligor which results in Bank deeming itself, in good faith, insecure. Upon
the occurrence of any such default, Bank, in its discretion, may cease to
advance funds hereunder and may declare all obligations under this note
immediately due and payable; however, upon the occurrence of an event of
default under d, e, f, or g, all principal and interest shall automatically
become immediately due and payable.

6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR. If any amounts owing under this note
are not paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Bank in the collection
or enforcement of this note. Debtor and any endorsers of this note, for
the maximum period of time and the full extent permitted by law, (a)
waive diligence, presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest,
notice of protest, and notice of every kind; (b) waive the right to
assert the defense of any statute of limitations to any debt or
obligation hereunder; and (c) consent to renewals and extensions of time
for the payment of any amounts due under this note. If this note is
signed by more than one party, the term "Debtor" includes each of the
undersigned and any successors in interest thereof; all of whose
liability shall be joint and several. Any married persons who signs this
note agrees that recourse may be had against the separate property of
that person for any obligations hereunder. The receipt of any check or
other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not be considered a
payment on account until such check or other item of payment is honored
when presented for payment at the drawee bank. Bank may delay the credit
of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of funds availability, and
interest under this note shall accrue until the funds are deemed
collected. In any action brought under or arising out of this note,
Debtor and any Obligor, including their successors and assigns, hereby
consent to the jurisdiction of any competent court within the State of

California, as provided in any alternative dispute resolution agreement
executed between Debtor and Bank, and consent to service of process by
any means authorized by said state's law. The term "Bank" includes,
without limitation, any holder of this note. This note shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
California. This note hereby incorporates any alternative dispute
resolution agreement previously, concurrently or hereafter executed
between Debtor and Bank.

7. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings
respectively set forth below: "Agreement" means that certain Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between Debtor and
Bank, as at any time amended, supplanted or otherwise modified or restated.
"Applicable Margin" means (1) in the case of a Base Interest Rate Loan, a per
annum rate equal to (a) 2.75%, if the ratio of Debtor's total liabilities to
Tangible Net Worth (as such term is defined in the Agreement) (the "Leverage
Ratio") as at the end of the most recent calendar month in respect of which
Debtor has furnished a financial statement to Bank as required by the
Agreement (the "Reported Period") is equal to or greater than 2.25:1.00, (b)
2.50%, if the Leverage Ratio as at the end of the most recent Reported Period
is less than 2.25:1.00 but equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00, (c) 2.25%, if
the Leverage Ratio as at the end of the most recent Reported Period is less
than 2.00:1.00 but equal to or greater than 1.75:1.00; (d) 2.00% if the
Leverage Ratio as at the end of the most recent Reported Period is less than
1.75:1.00 but equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00, and (e) 1.75%, if the
Leverage Ratio as at the end of the most recent Reported Period is less than
1.50:1.00; and (2) in the case of principal amounts outstanding hereunder
that are bearing interest at a rate based upon the Reference Rate, a per
annum rate equal to (a) 0.25%, if the Leverage Ratio as at the end of of the
most recent Reported Period is less than 2.25:1.00, and (b) 0.00%, if the
Leverage Ratio as at the end of the most recent Reported Period is less than
2.25:1.00. A change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the
Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the first day of the calendar month
following the Reported Period in respect of which a financial statement
furnished by Debtor to Bank pursuant to the Agreement reflects a change in
the Leverage Ratio which requires a change in the Applicable Margin as
provided for herein. For the purpose of determining the Applicable Margin, if
a default under this note or an Event of Default (as such term is defined in
the Agreement) has occurred and is continuing (including without limitation a
default or an Event of Default resulting from the failure of Debtor to
furnish any financial statement to Bank as required by the Agreement), then
without waiving any right or remedy that Bank may have under the Agreement as
a result of such default or Event of Default (including without limitation
the rights to accelerate Debtor's obligations and invoke the default interest
rate), the Leverage Ratio shall be conclusively presumed to be equal to or
greater than 2.25:1.00 from the date of the occurrence of such default or
Event of Default until such default or Event of Default is cured or otherwise
waived by Bank. "Base Interest Rate" means a rate of interest based on the
LIBOR-Rate. "Base Interest Rate Loan" means amounts outstanding under this
note that bear interest at a Base Interest Rate. "Base Rate Maturity Date"
means the last day of the Interest Period with respect to principal
outstanding under a Base Interest Rate Loan. "Business Day" means a day on
which Bank is open for business for the funding of corporate loans, and, with
respect to the rate of interest based on the LIBOR Rate, on which dealings in
U.S. dollar deposits outside of the United States may be carried on by Bank.
"Interest Period" means with respect to funds bearing interest at a rate
based on the LIBOR Rate, any calendar period of one, three, six, nine or
twelve months. In determining an Interest Period, a month means a period that
starts on one Business Day in a month and ends on and includes the day
preceding the numerically corresponding day in the next month. For any month
in which there is no such numerically corresponding day, then as to that
month, such day shall be deemed to be the last calendar of such month. Any
Interest Period which would otherwise end on a non-Business Day shall end on
the next succeeding Business Day unless that is the first day of a month, in
which event such Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business
Day. "LIBOR Rate" means a per annum rate of interest (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which dollar deposits, in
immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States would be
offered to Bank, outside of the United States, for a term coinciding with the
Interest Period selected by Debtor and for an amount equal to the amount of
principal covered by Debtor's interest rate selection, plus Bank's costs,
including the costs, if any, of reserve requirements. "Origination Date"
means the first day of Interest Period. "Reference Rate" means the rate
announced by Bank from time to time at its corporate headquarters as its
Reference Rate. The Reference Rate is an index rate determined by Bank from
time to time as a means of pricing certain extensions of credit and is
neither directly tied to any external rate of interest or index nor
necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank at any given time.
