                                PROMISSORY NOTE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              (Address of Maker)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AB Plastics Corporation ("Maker") promises, jointly and
severally if more than one, to pay to the order of General Electric Capital
Corporation or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a "Payee") at its office
located at 7700 Irvine Center Drive, Suite 400, Irvine, CA 92713 or at such
other place as Payee or the holder hereof may designate. the principal sum of
Three Million Eleven Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Seven and 16/100 Dollars
($3,011,437.16), with interest thereon. from the date hereof through and
including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of Nine and 47/100
percent (9.47%) per annum. to be paid in lawful money of the United States, in
Fifty-nine (59) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest of
Sixty-Three Thousand Two Hundred One and 64/100 Dollars ($63.201.64) each
("Periodic Installment") and a final installment which shall be in the amount
of the total outstanding principal and interest. The first Periodic
Installment shall be due and payable on _________________ and the following
Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and payable on
the same day of each succeeding month (each, a "Payment Date"). Such
installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve
30-day months. Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and
applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date.

The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of
all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of
Payee's right to receive payment in full at such time or at an prior or
subsequent time.

The Maker hereby expressly authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is
actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related
documents pertaining hereto.

This Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge
agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a "Security
Agreement").

Time is of the essence hereof. If any installment or any other sum due under
this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within ten (10) days after
its due date, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amount of each such
installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the
amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum.
If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within ten (10)
days after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default
under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any
Security Agreement, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together
with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or
any Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due
and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum or the highest rate nor prohibited by applicable law from the date of
such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment).
<PAGE>

The Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness
hereunder upon payment of an additional sum as a premium equal to the
following percentages of the original principal balance for the indicated
period:

Prior to the first annual anniversary date of this Note:    three percent   (3%)
Thereafter and prior to the second annual anniversary        zero percent   (0%)
date of this Note:
Thereafter and prior to the third annual anniversary         zero percent   (0%)
date of  this Note:
Thereafter and prior to the fourth annual anniversary        zero percent   (0%)
date of this Note:
Thereafter and prior to the fifth annual anniversary         zero percent   (0%)
date of this Note:

and zero percent (0%) thereafter, plus all other sums due hereunder or under
any Security Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury
laws: accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Note or any Security Agreement, in no event shall this Note
or any Security Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of
interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any
such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or
any Security Agreement, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid,
so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for,
charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement on the principal
balance shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable
law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and
control, (b) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter
liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such
interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest
permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected
shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance
or refunded to Maker, at the option of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate
of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate
allowed under applicable law, as now or hereafter construed by the courts
having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of
the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for,
charged or received under this Note or any Security Agreement which are made
for the purpose of determining whether such rare exceeds the maximum lawful
contract rate. shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by
amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the
period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or
otherwise by Payee in connection with such indebtedness: provided, however,
that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of
America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for the
Payee to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed,
the Maker agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption,
as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the
maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of
the United States of America.

substitutions or releases of, security or of any party primarily or
secondarily liable on this Note or any Security Agreement or any term and
provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and
agree that suit may be brought and maintained against any one or more of them,
at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and
