                             ----------------------

$375,000.00                 Newport Beach, California            October 1, 2001

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ON DEMAND, the undersigned, (hereinafter referred
to as "Maker") promises to pay to the order of National Recovery Limited
Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Lender"), at its main office at 27
Mischa Hill Road, Trumbull, Connecticut 06611, or at such other place as the
Lender shall from time to time designate in writing, on demand the principal sum
of THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($375,000.00) with
interest from the date hereof, computed on a 360 day year, on so much of said
principal sum as shall from time to time be outstanding, at the interest rate of
thirteen and ninety nine one hundredths percent (13.99%) per annum together with
all taxes assessed or enforced against said payee or other holder of this Note
upon said sum or this Note, and all its reasonable costs, expenses and
attorney's fees incurred or charged in any action or proceeding for collection
of said debt or in any litigation arising from or concerning said debt or in
foreclosing or otherwise recovering on any mortgage or security interest
securing said debt or in protecting or sustaining the lien and/or priority of
any such mortgage or security interest. Said interest shall be payable at the
aforesaid rate, or at the rate in effect as hereinafter provided, whether before
or after maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, or whether or not judgment has
been obtained, and after judgment, on the full amount of said judgment, at the
greater of the legal rate or the rate then in effect hereunder.

         From the date hereof interest on the daily outstanding principal
balance for the actual number of days elapsed in each payment period shall be
due and payable in monthly payments in arrears commencing November 1, 2001 and
continuing on the 1st day of each month thereafter until the entire outstanding
principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been paid in full.
All principal and interest evidenced by this Note, if not sooner paid, or
demanded, shall be due and payable on January 1, 2002 without the necessity of

                                      -1-

demand or notice. All payments of principal or interest shall be considered
received by Lender upon receipt of good funds as defined by Lender's financial
depository.

         This Note is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of a
certain Loan and Security Agreement of November even date by and among, inter
alia, Maker and Lender (the "Loan Agreement"), including without limitation
Events of Default as defined therein.

         It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Note, and that in the
event of default in the payment of any such installment of principal and/or
interest for a period of five (5) days after the same is due and payable or upon
default under any of the terms, conditions and/or provisions contained in this
note or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement,
then, and in any of said events, the unpaid remaining principal balance of this
indebtedness together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other
amounts due hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, at the option of
Lender without the necessity for demand or notice; and any failure to exercise
said option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at
any other time. If any such default shall occur, then, interest shall accrue, on
and after the first day of said default, for the period for which any such
payment was due, and during such period of five (5) days or other expired
applicable cure period, and at all times while such default continues, on all
principal and due and unpaid interest, at a rate three (3%) percent per annum
higher than the rate above stated and said interest shall be due and payable on
the first day of each month while any such default exists.

         Maker shall pay a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of any
installment not paid within five (5) days of the due date thereof.

         Maker reserves the right to prepay this note in full or in part at any
time without any prepayment penalty.

         Any deposits, securities or other property of the Maker, (exclusive of
deposits, securities or other property held by the undersigned in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of others) which are at anytime within Lender's
possession or control may be held and treated as collateral security for the

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

payment of this note, and Lender shall have a lien thereon and right to setoff
the same against any sums due hereunder.

         Notwithstanding any provisions of this Note, in the event that the rate
of interest charged hereunder shall at any time exceed the maximum rate allowed
by law, the interest rate payable hereunder shall be deemed to be the maximum
rate allowed by law and any payments in excess of the maximum rate allowed by
law shall be deemed principal payments and applied against the principal balance
hereof.

         The Maker hereby agrees that the loan evidenced by the within note is a
"commercial transaction" as defined by the Connecticut General Statutes as
amended.

         Upon failure to pay the indebtedness secured hereby in full at
maturity, whether stated or by acceleration, Holder is authorized and empowered
to sell the whole or any part of the Collateral then held by it in such manner
as Holder sees fit and is consistent with applicable law. Sale of part of the
Collateral shall not exhaust Holder's power of sale, but sales may be made from
time to time until all the Collateral is sold, or until the debts hereby secured
are paid in full. Holder shall receive the proceeds of such sale or sales and
shall apply those proceeds in the order stipulated in the relevant provisions of
the Connecticut Uniform Commercial Code. If this Note is placed in the hands of
an attorney for collection or is collected in whole or in part through any
judicial or arbitrial proceedings, Obligor agrees to pay Holder's attorney's
fees and costs.

         THE MAKER AND EVERY ENDORSER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND
PRIOR COURT HEARING OR COURT ORDER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY AND ALL PREJUDGMENT
REMEDIES THE HOLDER HEREOF MAY BECOME ENTITLED TO BY VIRTUE OF ANY DEFAULTS OR
PROVISIONS OF THE NOTE SECURING THE SAME.

         THE MAKER AND EVERY ENDORSER WAIVES A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WITH
RESPECT TO THIS NOTE AND AS TO ANY ISSUE ARISING RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR TO THE
INSTRUMENTS SECURING THIS NOTE.

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT
                               ------------------

         KNOW YE ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS THAT:

         WHEREAS, National Recovery Limited Partnership, a Connecticut Limited
Partnership having a place of business at 27 Mischa Hill Road, Trumbull,
Connecticut 06611 (hereinafter referred to as "Lender") has granted to Tangible
Collectibles, Inc. a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business
at 3444 Via Lido, Newport Beach, California 92663 (hereinafter referred to as
"Borrower") a commercial demand loan in the principal amount of ONE MILLION AND
00/100 ($1,000,000.00) DOLLARS on this date (hereinafter referred to as the
"Loan") and

         WHEREAS, as evidence of the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Loan, the Borrower has executed a Commercial Loan and Security Agreement and
other loan documents of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") and

         WHEREAS, the Loan is further evidenced by Borrower' Commercial Demand
Note to Lender in the amount of ONE MILLION and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00) DOLLARS
of even date herewith in accordance with the Loan Agreement (hereinafter
referred to as the "Note") and

         WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the making of the Loan and in
consideration thereof, Lender has required the undersigned to enter into this
Guaranty Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan and in
consideration thereof and FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, jointly and severally, hereby
unconditionally guaranty full and prompt payment of the "Liabilities" as
hereinafter defined. As used herein, "Liabilities" shall mean the sums owed to
Lender from Borrower of every kind and description, direct or indirect, primary
or secondary, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, secured or
unsecured, including, but not limited to, those arising under the Loan
regardless of how they arise or by what agreement or instrument they may be
evidenced by or whether evidenced by any agreement or instrument including
without limitation all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees paid or incurred by Lender in the collection or the enforcement
of the Loan indebtedness or in upholding or protecting or defending the lien of
the security interest in the collateral granted as security for the Loan).

         The undersigned further unconditionally guaranty that all payments made
by the Borrower and/or any Guarantor to Lender with respect to any Liabilities
hereby guaranteed will, when made, be final and agree that if any such payment
is recovered from, or repaid by Lender, in whole or in part in any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or against the Borrower and/or

<PAGE>

any Guarantor, this Guaranty shall continue to be fully applicable to such
Liabilities to the same extent as though the payment so recovered or repaid had
never been originally made on such Liabilities.

         The undersigned hereby waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of
dishonor and notice of Lender's acceptance of this agreement, and of any Loan
made, extensions granted or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other
demands and notices of any description in connection with this Guaranty, the
Liabilities or otherwise.

         No delay or omission on Lender's part in exercising any rights
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other rights; a waiver
on one occasion shall not be a bar to or waiver of any rights on any other
occasion.

         THE OBLIGATION OF THE UNDERSIGNED WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITY SHALL
NOT BE TERMINATED BY, AND THE UNDERSIGNED ASSENT TO ANY EXTENSION OR
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENT OF ANY LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER INDULGENCE, ANY
SUBSTITUTION, EXCHANGE OR RELEASE OF COLLATERAL, THE ADDITION OR RELEASE OF ANY
PARTY PRIMARILY OR SECONDARILY LIABLE, WHETHER OR NOT NOTICE THEREOF IS GIVEN TO
THE UNDERSIGNED, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN LENDER SHALL HAVE NO
DUTY TO COLLECT FROM OR PROTECT ANY OTHER PARTIES, AND LENDER MAY PROCEED UNDER
THIS GUARANTY IMMEDIATELY ON BORROWER'S DEFAULT WITHOUT EXHAUSTING ANY AND ALL
REMEDIES LENDER MAY HAVE OR RESORT TO AND REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER COLLATERAL AND
ANY OTHER GUARANTY OR SOURCE OF PAYMENT LENDER MAY HAVE.

         The obligation of the undersigned hereunder will be unaffected by any
recovery Lender may have against the security for the Liabilities guaranteed
hereby or against Borrower unless and until Lender shall recover the entire
amount of all Liabilities owed to Lender. The obligations of the undersigned
hereunder are primary, absolute, and unconditional irrespective of the
genuineness, validity, legality, regularity or enforceability of any of the
instruments executed in connection with the Loan.

         Any deposits, securities or other property of the undersigned which are
at anytime within Lender's possession or control may, after an Event of Default
under this Guaranty or pursuant to the Loan Agreement, be held and treated as
collateral security for the payment of Liabilities, and Lender shall have a lien

<PAGE>

thereon and right to setoff the same against matured Liabilities or against any
other sums due hereunder.

         THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TRANSACTION OF WHICH THIS GUARANTY
IS A PART IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION, AND HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL AND NOTICE AND HEARING UNDER CHAPTER 903a OF THE CONNECTICUT GENERAL
STATUTES AS AMENDED, OR AS OTHERWISE ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF ANY STATE OR BY
FEDERAL LAW, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WHICH LENDER MAY DESIRE TO
USE.

         The undersigned covenant not to cause, suffer or permit any act which
would cause Borrower or any of the Guarantors to (a) dissolve, liquidate or
cease the conduct of its business, (b) merge into or consolidate with any other
entity, or (c) sell, transfer, or otherwise convey all or substantially all of
its assets.

         The undersigned covenant not to transfer any of their assets for other
than fair market value or permit a material diminution of their respective net
worths except as reasonably necessary for estate planning, provided said
transferee executes and delivers to Lender a guaranty acceptable to Lender.

         The undersigned Individual Guarantors covenant to provide Lender with
their personal financial statements with such verifications of the entries
therein within thirty (30) days of each calendar year and as Lender shall
otherwise require, in such form and containing such other information respecting
each of the undersigned's financial status as Lender shall require and copies of
all federal and state income tax returns upon thirty (30) days of the filing due
dates thereof. The Guarantors shall also provide Lender with such financial
statements and tax returns as are required under the Loan Agreement.

         The undersigned agree to pay all costs, expenses and fees including
without limitation reasonable attorney's fees which may be incurred by Lender in
enforcing or attempting to enforce this Guaranty.

         The undersigned do hereby waive all rights to subrogation and/or
reimbursement from Borrower for any payments or advances made by the undersigned
pursuant to this Guaranty.

         The undersigned acknowledge and agree that the Loan and this Guaranty
have been made and entered into in the State of Connecticut and do hereby agree
and consent to in personam jurisdiction and waive any claim of lack of in
personam jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Connecticut, and do further
waive right to trial by jury.

         This agreement is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument and
its validity and construction shall be determined by the laws of the State of
Connecticut.

         This Instrument may be executed in one or more counterparts
collectively constituting one agreement.

         Signed and sealed as of the _____day of November, 2000.
