Re:  OneSource  Technologies,  Inc., stock issuances relative to its acquisition
     of Cartridge Care, Inc.

Sometime ago when I realized Don was  hopelessly  buried I took over a number of
tasks that I'd previously  assigned to him. One such task was the accountability
for all stock issuances of Company stock.  The backlog has taken me until now to
adequately  sort things out well enough to determine  what stock has been issued
and what stock has yet to be issued in the subject transaction.

In this regard,  I've found that the shares due you haven't been fully tendered.
Specifically,  it looks  like the only  shares  issued  in  connection  with the
subject transaction were to Maurice's IRA account.  Accordingly, I'm pressing to
order the issuance of all remaining  shares required by this transaction as soon
as possible.

As you know the "Folino  thing" has put a cloud over the  Cartridge  Care,  Inc.
("CC")  merger.  While in the end I, like you,  firmly believe the final outcome
will not change our opinion that we did the right thing in acquiring  CC, it has
called attention to the need to appropriately  determine the "real" value of the
company we acquired.  As you'll  recall our agreement was that the shares called
for in the purchase  agreement  would be adjusted to reflect any decrease in the
purchase price as ordered by the Court.  In this regard at year-end,  as part of
the independent  audit the auditors and we agreed that a value of  approximately
$370,000 best reflected our present estimate of such a price.

Consequently,  until a final  settlement of the matter is reached,  I propose as
Chairman of the Company,  that the remaining  shares up to the $370,000 value be
issued to you  immediately  and shares related to the balance yet to be resolved
be issued in your  names but  deposited  and held in an escrow  account.  I have
asked our mutual  counsel,  Jim Deer, to accept the charge to hold the stock and
he has agreed to do so with appropriate agreed written instructions.

The tabulation below shows the number of shares that have been issued as well as
those ordered for your respective  accounts.  The table also delineates  between
shares  ordered for  immediately  issue and those held in escrow  pending  final
court word.

Upon your agreement,  the issuance  instructions  will stipulate that the latter
shares be held in an escrow  account at the law offices of James Deer,  ESQ. and
not distributed until a resolution of the Folino case enables us to make a final
determination of the real value of CC at the date of merger.  In the interim and
pending final resolution, you will vote all issued shares but escrow shares will
be held as "non voting" until released.

                  contemplated  hereunder,  and the performance by the Vendor of
                  its obligations  hereunder and  thereunder,  and to consummate
                  the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

         (d)      neither the execution  and delivery of this  Agreement nor the
                  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  will
                  conflict  with or  result  in a  breach  of any of the  terms,

                  judgment  or  decree  by  which  the  Vendor  is  bound,   the

                  clear of any or all  Encumbrances and any claims of any nature
                  whatsoever  including,  but not  limited to, any claims in the
                  course of  insolvency or  bankruptcy  proceedings  against the
                  Vendor which may be asserted against the Purchaser;

         (f)      the Vendor is not a party or subject to any  agreement,

                  accruing,  contingent or absolute, liquidated or unliquidated,
                  to any  person in respect  of which the  Purchaser  may become
                  liable as a result of completing the purchase of the Shares or
                  which  by the  operation  of law or  otherwise  constitute  or
                  become an  Encumbrance  or material  contracts  or which could

         (i)      no  litigation  or   administrative  or  other  proceeding  or
                  arbitration with or before any Governmental  Authority,  court

                  presently in process, pending or threatened by or on behalf of
                  the Vendor and no state of fact exists which could  constitute
                  the basis of any action,  suit,  claim,  condemnation or other
                  litigation  or  administrative  or other  proceeding  by or on
                  behalf of the Vendor,  other than as disclosed  herein,  which
                  could  affect the right of the  Purchaser to own, use or enjoy
                  the benefit of the Shares;

         (j)      neither the  execution or delivery of this  Agreement  nor the
                  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  will
                  result  in  any  taxes,  levies,  assessments,  duties,  fees,
                  deductions  or  withholdings  of  any  amount  relating  to it
                  business  or  the  Assets  becoming  due  or  payable  to  any
                  Governmental  Authority  which could be payable by, charged to

                  Encumbrance or otherwise  affect the right of the Purchaser to
                  own, use or enjoy the benefit of the Shares;

         (k)      the  Vendor  has no  information  or  knowledge  of  any  fact
                  relating  to  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  or  its
                  business  or assets  which,  if known to the  Purchaser  might
                  reasonably be expected to deter the Purchaser from  completing
                  the transactions  contemplated  herein or which materially and
                  adversely  affect  the  ability of the Vendor to carry out its
                  obligations hereunder;

         (l)      the Vendor is an  "accredited  investor" within the meaning of
                  SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect;

         (m)      the Vendor  understands that the CBBC Shares it is acquiring
                  are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
                  securities  laws  inasmuch as they are being acquired from the
                  Purchaser in a transaction not involving a public offering and
                  that under such laws and applicable  regulations such  shares
                  may  be  resold  without  registration  under  the  Act  only
                  in certain limited circumstances.  In the absence of an effec-
                  tive  registration  statement  covering the CBBC Shares or an
                  available  exemption  from  registration  under  the  Act, the
                  CBBC  Shares  must be held indefinitely.  In this  connection,
                  the Vendor  represents and warrants that it is familiar with
                  SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect,  and  understands  the
                  resale  limitations imposed thereby and by the Act, including,
                  without limitation, the Rule 144 condition that current infor-
                  mation about the Purchaser   be   available   to  the  public.
                  Without  in  any  way  limiting  the representations  and
                  warranties  set forth above,  the Vendor  further agrees that
                  if the Vendor makes any  disposition  of all or any portion of
                  the CBBC  Shares,  not pursuant to Rule 144 or a

                                       7

                  registration statement under the Act covering such proposed
                  disposition in accordance with such registration  statement,
                  then the Vendor shall notify the Purchaser of such proposed
                  disposition and   shall  furnish  the  Purchaser  with  a
                  statement of the  circumstances  surrounding  the disposition
                  and, if requested by the Purchaser,the Vendor shall have
                  furnished the Purchaser with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Purchaser, that such disposition is exempt
                  from  registration or qualification requirements. It is agreed
                  that the Purchaser will not require  opinions of counsel for
                  transactions  made  pursuant to Rule 144 or a  registration
                  statement except in  unusual circumstances;

         (n)      the  CBBC  Shares  to be  received  by the  Purchaser  will be
                  acquired for investment  for the Vendor's own account,  not as
                  nominee  or  agent,  and  not  with a view  to the  resale  or
                  distribution  of any part thereof,  and that the Vendor has no
                  present intention of selling, granting any participation in or
                  otherwise distributing the same. The Vendor further represents
                  and  warrants  that the  Vendor  does  not have any  contract,
                  undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
                  transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third
                  person, with respect to any of the CBBC Shares;

         (o)      it is understood  that the  certificates  evidencing  the CBBC
                  Shares may bear one or all of the following legends:

                  (i)      "THESE  SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
                           SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE
                           SOLD,  OFFERED FOR SALE,  PLEDGED OR  HYPOTHECATED IN
                           THE  ABSENCE OF A  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  IN EFFECT
                           WITH RESPECT TO THE  SECURITIES  UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN
                           OPINION OF COUNSEL  SATISFACTORY  TO THE COMPANY THAT
                           SUCH  REGISTRATION  IS NOT  REQUIRED  OR UNLESS  SOLD
                           PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT."

                  (ii)     any legend required by state securities laws or the
                           securities laws of the jurisdiction  where the Vendor
                           is domiciled, incorporated or organized; and

         (p)      this Agreement and the agreements  contemplated hereunder have
                  been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Vendor and
                  this  Agreement  and  the  agreements  contemplated  hereunder
                  constitute legal, valid and binding  obligations of the Vendor
                  enforceable  against  the  Vendor  in  accordance  with  their
                  respective terms.

         Purchaser as  representations  and  warranties  that are true as at the

                  consequences  of which would impair the ability of the Company
                  to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                           capital of the Purchaser; and

         (h)      this  Agreement  has  been  duly   authorized,   executed  and
                  delivered by the  Purchaser and this  Agreement  constitutes a
                  legal,   valid  and  binding   obligation   of  the  Purchaser
                  enforceable  against  the  Purchaser  in  accordance  with its
                  terms.

         (i)      Except  as  set  forth  in the  Schedule  of  Exceptions,  the
                  Purchaser does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any
                  capital  stock in any other  corporation  or similar  business
                  entity (a "Subsidiary")  nor is the Purchaser a participant in
                  any  partnership,  joint venture or similar  arrangement.  The
                  Schedule   of   Exceptions   describes   the  state  or  other
                  jurisdiction  of   incorporation   or  organization   and  the
                  percentage  ownership  interest owned by the Purchaser of each
                  Subsidiary.  Each  Subsidiary  is  a  corporation  or  limited
                  liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
                  standing under the laws of its state or other  jurisdiction of
                  incorporation  or   organization.   Each  Subsidiary  has  all
                  requisite power and authority  (corporate or otherwise) to own
                  its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being
                  conducted or proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified to
                  do  business  as a foreign  corporation  or limited  liability
                  company and is in good standing in the  jurisdictions in which
                  the properties owned, leased or operated by such Subsidiary or
                  the nature of the business  conducted by such Subsidiary makes
                  such  qualification  necessary  and  where the  failure  to so
                  qualify  (individually  or in  the  aggregate)  would  have  a
                  material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial
                  condition or prospects of the Purchaser  and its  Subsidiaries
                  taken as a whole.

         (j)      The Purchaser and all of its Subsidiaries own their respective
                  properties  and assets,  including the  properties  and assets
                  reflected in the Financial Statements (as defined below), free
                  and  clear of all  liens,  mortgages,  loans  or  encumbrances
                  except  liens for current  taxes,  and such  encumbrances  and
                  liens which arise in the  ordinary  course of business  and do
                  not   materially   impair  the   Purchaser's  or  any  of  its
                  Subsidiaries'  ownership  or use of such  property  or assets.
                  With  respect  to  the  property  and  assets  leased  by  the
                  Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser and each
                  of its

                  Subsidiary  is a party or by which  they are bound  (excluding
                  purchase orders made in the ordinary course of business to the
                  Purchaser  or  any  of  its  Subsidiaries  or  placed  by  the
                  Purchaser   or  any  of  its   Subsidiaries)   which   involve
                  obligations  of, or payments  to, the  Purchaser or any of its
                  Subsidiaries  in excess of Fifty  Thousand  Dollars  ($50,000)
                  ("Material   Contracts")   and  all  agreements   between  the
                  Purchaser  or  any  of  its  Subsidiaries  and  any  of  their
                  respective officer,  directors,  employees and consultants are
                  valid,  binding  and in full force and effect in all  respects

                  creditor's  rights  and  rules  or laws  concerning  equitable
                  remedies.  Neither  the  Purchaser  nor any  Subsidiary  is in
                  default under any of such Material  Contracts.  No other party
                  to any of the Material Contracts has been in the past, nor, to
                  the  Purchaser's  knowledge,  no  other  party  to  any of the
                  contracts is currently in material default thereunder.

                  obligations   hereunder,   and   the   consummation   of   the

         (n)      There is no action,  arbitration,  proceeding or investigation
                  pending or threatened  against the Purchaser or any Subsidiary
                  or any of their  respective  officers,  directors  or,  to the
                  Purchaser's   knowledge,   against  any  other   employees  or
                  consultants of the Purchaser or any of its  Subsidiaries  (or,
                  to the  Purchaser's  knowledge,  any valid basis  therefore or
                  threat thereof) which might result,  either individually or in
                  the  aggregate,  in (a) any  material  adverse  change  in the
                  business, conditions,  affairs, operations or prospects of the
                  Purchaser,  any  of  its  Subsidiaries  or  in  any  of  their
                  respective  properties or assets of any  shareholder,  (b) any
                  material  adverse  impairment  of the right or  ability of the

                  ordinary  course of business or identified in the Schedules of
                  Exceptions hereto. Neither the Purchaser nor any Subsidiary is

                           (i) the  Purchaser had no  Liabilities  of any nature
                           (matured or  unmatured, fixed or contingent) required

The  occurrence of any of the following  shall  constitute an "Event of Default"

amount payable  hereunder when due under this  Promissory  Note or the breach of
any  other  condition  or  obligation   under  this  Promissory  Note,  and  the

amounts shall become immediately due and payable,  without presentment,  demand,

Promissory  Note without setoff or deduction and regardless of any  counterclaim
or defence.

preclude  any other or further  exercise  of such power or exercise of any other
power.  No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in  exercising  any right
under this  Promissory Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other
right hereunder.

This  Promissory  Note  shall be  binding on the  Borrower  and his  successors,
assigns, personal representatives,  executors, heirs, and legatees, and shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Lender,  any future  holder of this

purpose  of any  action  or  proceeding  arising  out  of or  relating  to  this
Promissory  Note,  (ii) agree  that all claims in respect of any such  action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts,  (iii)  irrevocably waive

hereafter  may have to the  laying  of venue of any such  action  or  proceeding
brought in any of the  foregoing  courts,  and any objection on the grounds that
any  such  action  or  proceeding  in any such  court  has  been  brought  in an
inconvenient  forum and (iv) agree that a final  judgment  in any such action or
proceeding  shall be conclusive  and may be enforced in other  jurisdictions  by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by law.

BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION  BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED
TO THIS PROMISSORY NOTE, OR THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST
ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES.  THE BORROWER AND LENDER  HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT
IN ANY WAY LIMITING THE  FOREGOING,  THE BORROWER AND LENDER  FURTHER AGREE THAT
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION
AS TO ANY ACTION,  COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER  PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN
PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR  ENFORCEABILITY  OF THIS PROMISSORY  NOTE, OR
ANY PROVISION HEREOF.
