                                 PROMISSORY NOTE
                                    SERIES I



Date: APRIL 20, 2001                                $100,000




         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BEPARIKO BIOCOM (the "Borrower"),
incorporated under the laws of Nevada, PROMISES TO PAY to or to the order of
                    (the "Lender"), at such place in _____________ as the Lender
may  designate, the principal amount of $100,000 on or before the date (the "Due
Date") which is the earlier of (i) September 1, 2001, and (ii) the date that the
Borrower completes the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all the issued shares
of Global Genomics Capital, Inc. ("GGC"), plus interest on such principal at the
rate, calculated in the manner and payable at the times specified in this Note.

         The principal amount from time to time unpaid and outstanding hereunder
shall bear interest, both before and after default and before and after
judgment, at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest at such rate shall accrue daily
and be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of
365, and shall be payable on the Due Date. Overdue interest shall bear interest
at the same rate, calculated as aforesaid.

         Upon the written request by the Lender, accompanied by this Note and a
duly executed subscription agreement for shares of common stock of the Borrower,
the Borrower will set-off all, but not less than all, of the principal amount
then owing under this Note against the Lender's obligation to pay the
subscription price pursuant to the subscription agreement. Any such set-off will
be subject to the following terms and conditions:

     a)   the effect of the set-off will be to deem the principal amount then
          outstanding hereunder to be paid in full effective on the date of
          execution of the subscription agreement. Interest will cease to accrue
          on the principal amount so set-off on the date of execution of the
          subscription agreement. Subject to the Borrower complying with
          paragraph (b) below this Note will be deemed to have been paid in full
          and cancelled;

     b)   the set-off of principal against the Lender's obligation to pay the
          subscription price pursuant to the subscription agreement will occur
          at the rate of $2.50 per share of common stock. The Borrower shall
          allot and issue 40,000 shares of common stock of the Borrower. No
          fractional shares will be issued. Certificates for the shares will be
          issued in the name of the Lender and will be delivered to the Lender
          together with a cheque for any accrued and unpaid interest on the
          principal amount so set-off, within ___ days of execution and delivery
          of the subscription agreement; and

     c)   any shares of common stock issued by the Borrower pursuant to a
          subscription agreement delivered together with this Note as aforesaid
          may be subject to hold period requirements imposed by the applicable
          regulatory authorities, which may include a requirement that the
          certificates issued in respect of those securities bear a legend
          confirming the applicable trading restrictions.

In the event of any:

     a)   subdivision of the shares of common stock of the Borrower (as such
          common stock is constituted on the date hereof) into a greater number
          of shares of common stock while this Note is outstanding, the number
          of shares which may be acquired upon any subscription paid for by way
          of set-off as contemplated by this Note shall thereafter be deemed to
          be subdivided in like manner and the set-off rate adjusted
          accordingly, and any subscription by the Lender for units contemplated
          by this Note shall be deemed to be a subscription for units including
          shares of common stock of the Borrower as subdivided;

     b)   consolidation of the shares of common stock of the Borrower (as such
          shares are constituted on the date hereof) into a lesser number of
          shares while this Note is outstanding, the number of shares which may
          be acquired upon any subscription paid for by way of set-off as
          contemplated by this Note shall thereafter be deemed to be
          consolidated in like manner and the set-off rate adjusted accordingly,
          and any subscription by the Lender for units contemplated by this Note
          shall be deemed to be a subscription for units including shares of
          common stock of the Borrower as consolidated; and

     c)   capital reorganization or reclassification of the shares of common
          stock of the Borrower or the merger or amalgamation of the Borrower
          with another corporation at any time while this Note is outstanding,
          the Borrower shall thereafter deliver at the time of any subscription
          paid for by way of set-off as contemplated by this Note the number of
          shares the Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of
          the principal amount so set-off had the set-off occurred before such
          capital reorganization or reclassification of the shares of common
          stock of the Borrower or the merger or amalgamation of the Borrower
          with another corporation.

         In addition, the Borrowers shall grant 50,000 $2.50 Common Stock
Purchase Warrants to purchase a like number of shares of the common stock of
Bepariko BioCom.

         This Note is one of a series of ______similar Promissory Notes
