        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RadioSunGroup of Texas, Inc. ("Maker"), promises
to pay to the order of KAREN BIDDINGER, the sum of One Hundred Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), together with all interest thereon at the fixed
rate of TEN Percent (10%) per annum.  Accrued interest shall be due and
payable on March 31, 1998 and on the final day of each successive calendar
month thereafter.  Provided, however, on June 30, 1998, all principal and
interest then unpaid shall be finally due and payable.

        All amounts due under this Note are payable at par in lawful money of
the United States of America, at such place as the holder hereof (hereinafter
"Holder") may direct.

        A default shall occur under this Note if Maker fails to make the
payment required hereunder when due (time is of the essence hereof); or if
Maker becomes insolvent, or if Maker files bankruptcy or receivership
proceedings or has such proceedings filed against it; or if any property of
Maker is subjected to attachment, execution or other process; or if a default
occurs under any collateral document securing the indebtedness evidenced by
this Note.

        Upon the occurrence of a default, as defined above. Holder may, at its
option, declare all principal and interest provided for under this Note, and
any other obligations of Maker to Holder, to be presently due and payable, and
Holder may enforce any remedies available to Holder under any documents
securing or evidencing, debts of Maker to Holder.  Holder may waive any
default before or after it occurs and may restore this Note in full effect
without impairing the right to declare it due for a subsequent default.
Following default, interest shall accrue on the principal balance hereof at
the maximum lawful rate. Privilege is reserved to prepay this Note at any
time.  Provided, however, if this Note is prepaid, regardless of the date of
prepayment, such prepayment shall be accompanied by such additional sums as
may be required to ensure that Holder receives a full four months interest on
this Note.  For example, if this Note is prepaid on February 1, 1998 (and
assuming the regular interest payment was made as scheduled on March 31,
1998), the prepayment shall be accompanied by an additional three months of
interest as if the Note were paid in full on its maturity date of June 30,
1998.

        Maker and all sureties, guarantors, endorsers and other parties to
this instrument hereby consent to any and all renewals, waivers,
modifications, or extensions of time (of any duration) that may be granted by
Holder with respect to this Note and severally waive demand, presentment,
protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices which might otherwise be
required by law. Holder may release collateral securing this Note or parties
liable therefor, in its sole discretion.
