$1,500,000                                                     Chicago, Illinois
                                                                October 30, 1996


      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, HAUPPAUGE RECORD MANUFACTURING LTD.,
a New York corporation ("Borrower"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to
the order of AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY OF CHICAGO ("Lender") at
the office of Lender at 33 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60690 or at
such other place as the holder of this Note may from time to time designate in
writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($1,500,000). This Note is referred to in and was executed and delivered
pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated
as of October 30, 1996 between Borrower and Lender (as amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), to which reference is
hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans
evidenced hereby were made and are to be repaid. All terms which are capitalized
and used herein (which are not otherwise specifically defined herein) and which
are defined in the Loan Agreement shall be used in this Note as defined in the
Loan Agreement.

      Borrower further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
hereof from time to time outstanding at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate as from time to time in effect plus one and one-half of one
percent (1.50%), provided that following the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, Borrower shall pay interest from the date of such
Default (or, in the event of a Default other than as described in subsections
9.1(A), (H), or (I) of the Loan Agreement, from the date of notice to such
effect from Lender) at the rate set forth above plus an additional three percent
(3.00%) per annum. Interest shall be payable on the dates provided for in the
Loan Agreement, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed.

      If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and interest shall be payable thereon during such extension at the
rate specified above. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest
charged hereunder, however such interest may be characterized or computed,
exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the
event that such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder
in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall promptly refund
such excess interest to Borrower.

      The principal indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in
twenty-five (25) consecutive monthly installments commencing on December 31,
1996 and continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter through
and including December 31, 1998, each in an amount equal to $60,000.

      Under certain circumstances described in the Loan Agreement, Borrower is
required to make certain prepayments on this Note. The principal amount hereof
may not be prepaid at any time in whole or in part, except as provided in the
Loan Agreement.

      Payments received by Lender on this Note shall be applied as provided in
the Loan Agreement and may be applied to the payment of interest which is due
and payable before application to the outstanding principal balance hereof,
subject to Lender's rights to otherwise apply such payments as provided in the
Loan Agreement.

      Upon and after the occurrence of a Default or as otherwise provided in the
Loan Agreement, this Note may, at the option of Lender, and without prior
demand, notice or legal process of any kind (except as otherwise expressly
required in the Loan Agreement), be declared, and thereupon immediately shall
become, due and payable. This Note shall also become immediately due and payable
upon the termination of the Loan Agreement.
