     1.  Acknowledgment  of  Outstanding Balance. The parties hereto acknowledge
         ----------------------------------------
that  the  outstanding principal balance of the Note as of the effective date is
ONE  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  AND  NO/100  DOLLARS  ($100,000.00)

     2.  Increase  of  Principal  Balance.  From  and after the date hereof, the
         ---------------------------------
principal  balance  of  the Note is increased, pursuant to an additional advance

Hundred  and  Ten  Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($110,000.00) (the "New Principal

Hereby  promises to pay to the Lender at P.O. Box 3215 McAllen, Texas 78502, the
sum  equal  to the New Principal Balance in lawful and legal money of the United
States  of  America  with  interest  as  it accrues on the New Principal Balance
pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Note.

     3.  Collateral. In consideration for the New Principal Balance, the Note is
         -----------
secured  by  that  certain Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") of even
date  herewith  in  favor  of  Lender, evidencing a security interest in certain
personal  property  described  therein, to which Security Agreement reference is
here  made  for a description of the property covered thereby and the nature and
extent  of  the security and the rights and powers of the holder of this Note in
respect  of  such  security.

     4. Modification of Maturity. The Note is hereby renewed and the maturity of
        -------------------------
the  Note  is  hereby  extended  to  July  31,2004  ("Revised  Maturity  Date").

     5.  Modification  of  Payments.  From  and after the effective date of this
         ---------------------------
Agreement,  principal  and  interest  shall be due and payable under the Note as
follows:

     (a)  Interest  on the principal balance for the period from August 21, 2003
until March 1, 2004 shall be paid in cash at the Stated Rate (as defined herein)
within twenty four (24) hours following the execution of this Renewal, Extension
and  Modification  Agreement

     (b)  Interest  on  the  principal  balance for the period from March 1,2004
until  and  including  July 31, 2004, shall be pre-paid within five (5) business
days  following  the  execution of this Agreement at the Stated Rate (as defined
herein)  except that Borrower shall pay Lender in cash monthly the amount of Two
Hundred  Twenty  and  00/100 Dollars ($220.00), commencing on March 1, 2004, and
continuing  on  the last day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter until
and  including  July  31,2004. The Interest accrued during this period, less the
amount of cash paid for Interest during this period, shall be pre-paid in equity
of  the  Borrower  at  a value of $0.20 per share with an issue date of March 1,
2004.

     6.  Conversion  to  Long  Term  Note. Borrower is in the process of capital
         ---------------------------------
fundraising.  If  Borrower  raises  One  Million  Dollars ($1,000,000.00), or an
amount  no  less  than ninety percent (90%) of One Million dollars, from sources
other than Lender, by July 31,2004, then, at Borrower's option, Lender agrees to
extend  the  Maturity  Date  of  this  Note  to  January  31,2005.

     7.  Modification  of Interest Rate. The parties hereby agree that effective
         -------------------------------
as  of the date of this Agreement, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
balance  of this Note from time to time outstanding until maturity at the Stated
Rate  (as  defined  herein) and interest on all past due amounts, both principal
and  accrued  interest, at the Past Due Rate (as defined herein); provided, that
                                                                  ---------
for  the  full  term of this Note the interest rate produced by the aggregate of
all  sums  paid  or  agreed  to  be paid to the holder of this Note for the use,
forbearance  or  detention  of  the  debt  evidenced hereby shall not exceed the
Highest  Lawful  Rate  (as  defined  herein).

     "Stated  Rate" means, on any day, a fixed rate per annum equal to eight and
00/100  percent  (8.00%);  provided,  that  if  on any day the Stated Rate shall
                           --------
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, then the Stated Rate shall be fixed
at  the  Highest  Lawful  Rate  on that day and on each day thereafter until the
total  amount  of  interest  accrued at the Stated Rate on the unpaid balance of
this  Note equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there
were  no  Highest  Lawful  Rate.  However, neither the maturity of this Note nor
Maker's  privilege  to  prepay  it  shall  be  affected  by  this  paragraph.

     "Past  Due  Rate" means the Highest Lawful Rate, or if applicable law shall
     -----------------
not provide for a maximum nonusurious rate, a rate per annum equal to the Stated
Rate  plus  five  percent  (5%).

     "Highest  Lawful  Rate"  means  the  maximum  nonusurious  rate of interest
     -----------------------
permitted  to  be  charged  by  applicable federal or Texas law (whichever shall
permit  the  higher  lawful  rate) from time-to-time in effect. At all times, if
any,  as  Title  4  of  the Texas Finance Code, as in effect on the date of this
Note,  shall establish the Highest Lawful Rate, the Highest Lawful Rate shall be
the  "Weekly  Ceiling"  (as  defined  in Title 4 of the Texas Finance Code) from
time-to-time  in  effect.  If the obligation is an open-ended account, Payee may
from  time  to time, as to then-current and future balances, implement any other
ceiling under Title 4 of the Texas Finance Code and/or revise the index, formula
or  provision  of law used to compute the rate on such obligation, if and to the
extent permitted by, and in the manner provided in, Title 4 of the Texas Finance
Code.

     Interest  on  this  Note  shall  be  computed for the actual number of days
elapsed  in a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, unless the
Highest  Lawful  Rate  would  thereby be exceeded, in which event, to the extent
necessary to avoid exceeding the Highest Lawful Rate, interest shall be computed
on  the  basis  of  the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable calendar
year  in  which  it  accrued.

     8,  Usury.  No  provisions  of this Agreement or the Note or any instrument
         ------
evidencing  or  securing  the  Note,  or  otherwise relating to the indebtedness
evidenced  by  the  Note,  shall  require  the payment or permit the collection,
application  or  receipt  of  interest  in  excess  of  the maximum permitted by
applicable  state  or  federal law. If any excess of interest in such respect is
herein  or in any such other instrument provided for, or shall be adjudicated to
be  so  provided  for  herein  or in any such instrument, the provisions of this
paragraph  shall  govern, and neither Borrower nor any endorsers of the Note nor
their respective heirs or personal representatives shall be obligated to pay the
amount of such interest to the extent it is in excess of the amount permitted by
applicable  law.  It  is  expressly  stipulated  and  agreed to be the intent of
Borrower  and  Lender  to  at  all  times  comply  with the usury and other laws
relating  to  the  Note,  the  Security Agreement, and any subsequent revisions,
repeals  or  judicial interpretations thereof, to the extent applicable thereto.
In  the  event  Lender  or  other  holder of the Note ever receives, collects or
applies  as  interest  any  such  excess,  such  amount which would be excessive
interest  shall  be  applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of
the  Note,  and,  if  upon such application the principal balance of the Note is
paid  in  full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith paid to Borrower and the
provisions  of  the  Note  and  Security  Agreement  shall immediately be deemed
reformed  and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the
necessity  of  execution  of  any  new  document,  so as to comply with the then
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called  for  thereunder.  In  determining  whether  or  not the interest paid or
payable  under  any specific contingency exceeds the maximum interest allowed to
be  charged by applicable law, Borrower and Lender or other holder hereof shall,
to  the  maximum  extent  permitted  under  applicable  law,  amortize, prorate,
allocate  and  spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of
the  Note so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods
of time during the term of the Note is to the greatest extent possible less than
the  maximum  amount or rate of interest allowed to be charged by law during the
relevant  period  of  time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time
applicable  laws  shall  be  changed  so as to permit a higher rate or amount of
interest  to  be  charged  than that permitted prior to such change, then unless
prohibited  by  law,  references in the Note to "applicable law" for purposes of
determining  the  maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall
be  deemed  to  refer  to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater
amount  or  rate  of  interest.

     9.  Release  and  Waiver  of Usury Claims. In consideration of the benefits
         --------------------------------------
received  by Borrower hereunder, Borrower hereby waives, releases and terminates
all  claims,  or  right  to  claim,  whether  known  or unknown, that Lender has
charged,  collected or received usurious interest under the Note or the Security
Agreement  and  hereby waives and releases any right or power to bring any claim
against  Lender  for usury or to pursue any cause of action against Lender based
on  any  claim  or  usury.

     10.  Release  and  Waiver  of  Other  Claims.  In  consideration of (i) the
          ----------------------------------------
modification  of  certain  provisions of the Note, as herein provided, and (iii)
the  other  benefits  received  by Borrower hereunder, Borrower hereby RELEASES,
RELINQUISHES  and  forever  DISCHARGES  Lender,  as  well  as  its predecessors,
successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees and representatives,
of and from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action of any and
every  kind  or  character,  whether  known or unknown, present or future, which
Borrower  may  have  against  Lender  and its predecessors, successors, assigns,
agents,  officers,  directors,  employees  and representatives arising out of or
with  respect  to  any and all transactions relating to the Note or the Security
Agreement  occurring  prior  to  the  date  hereof,  including any loss, cost or
damage, of any kind or character, arising out of or in any way connected with or
in  any  way  resulting  from  the acts, actions or omissions of Lender, and its
predecessors,  successors,  assigns,  agents, officers, directors, employees and
representatives,  including  any breach of fiduciary duty, breach of any duty of
fair  dealing,  breach  of  confidence,  breach  of  funding  commitment,  undue

corporate  governance  or  prospective  business  advantage, breach of contract,
deceptive  trade practices, liable, slander or conspiracy, but in each case only
to  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law.
