the  Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached
hereto  as Exhibit B, and shall read the applicable rules of the Commissioner of
Corporations  attached  to  such  Investment  Representation  Statement.

     6.     Non-Transferability  of  Option.  This Option may not be transferred
            -------------------------------
in  any  manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution
and  may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee.  The
terms  of  this  Agreement  shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
heirs,  successors  and  assigns  of  the  Optionee.

     7.     Term  of  Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term
            ----------------

accordance  with  the  terms  of  this  Agreement.

     8.     Termination  of  Relationship  as  a  Service  Provider.
            -------------------------------------------------------

          (a)     Disability of Optionee.  If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
                  ----------------------
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or  her  Option  within  12  months  following the Optionee's termination to the
extent  the  Option  is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later
than  the  expiration  of  the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of
Grant).  If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or
her  entire  Option,  the  Shares  covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall  terminate.  If,  after  termination of the Service Provider relationship,
the  Optionee  does  not  exercise  his  or her Option within the time specified
herein,  the  Option  shall  terminate.

          (b)     Death  of  Optionee.  If  an  Optionee  dies  while  a Service

the  Notice  of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the
right  to  exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent
that  the  Option  is vested on the date of death. If, at the time of death, the
Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested  portion  of the Option shall terminate. The Option may be exercised by
the  executor  or  administrator  of  the  Optionee's estate or, if none, by the
person(s)  entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's will or the laws
of  descent  or  distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time
specified  herein,  the  Option  shall  terminate.

          (c)     Other  Termination  of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If
                  ---------------------------------------------------------
an  Optionee  ceases  to  be  a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's
death  or Disability (as described above in Sections 8(a) and (b)), the Optionee
may  exercise his or her Option within three (3) months following the Optionee's
termination  to  the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination
(but  in  no  event  later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth  in  the Notice of Grant). If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is
not  vested  as  to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion  of the Option shall terminate. If, after termination, the Optionee does
not  exercise  his  or  her  Option within the time specified herein, the Option
shall  terminate.

     9.     Adjustments  Upon  Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or
            --------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Sale.
----------

          (a)     Changes  in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by
                  ---------------------------
the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
this  Option,  as  well  as  the price per share of Common Stock covered by this
Option,  shall  be  proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number  of  issued  shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse
stock  split,  stock  dividend,  combination  or  reclassification of the Common
Stock,  or  any  other  increase  or  decrease in the number of issued shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however,  that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not
be  deemed  to  have  been  "effected  without  receipt  of consideration." Such
adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall
be  final,  binding  and  conclusive.  Except  as  expressly provided herein, no
issuance  by  the  Company  of  shares  of  stock  of  any  class, or securities
convertible  into  shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by  reason  thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of  Common  Stock  subject  to  this  Option.

          (b)     Dissolution  or  Liquidation.  In the  event  of  the proposed
                  ----------------------------
dissolution  or  liquidation  of the Company, to the extent that this Option has
not  been  previously  exercised,  it  will  terminate  immediately prior to the
consummation  of  such  proposed  action.  The Board may, in the exercise of its
sole  discretion  in such instances, declare that this Option shall terminate as
of  a  date  fixed  by  the Board and give the Optionee the right to vest in and
exercise  his  or  her  Option  as  to  all  or  any part of the Optioned Stock,
including  Shares  as  to  which  the  Option  would  not otherwise be vested or
exercisable.

          (c)     Merger or Asset Sale.  In the event of a merger of the Company
                  --------------------
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of  the  Company,  this Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right
substituted  by  the  successor  corporation  or  a  Parent or Subsidiary of the
successor  corporation.  In  the event that the successor corporation refuses to
assume  or substitute for this Option, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have
the  right  to  exercise  the  Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares  as  to  which  it  would  not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If the
Option  becomes  fully  vested  and  exercisable  in  lieu  of  assumption  or
substitution  in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify
the  Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested
and  exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice,
and  the  Option  shall  terminate  upon  the expiration of such period. For the
purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following
the  merger  or  sale  of  assets,  the  option confers the right to purchase or
receive,  for  each  Share  of  Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately
prior  to  the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash,
or  other  securities  or  property) received in the merger or sale of assets by
holders  of  Common  Stock  for  each  Share  held  on the effective date of the
transaction  (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration  chosen  by  the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided,  however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of
assets  is  not  solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent,
the  Board  may,  with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the
consideration  to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of
Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation  or  its  Parent  equal  in  fair  market  value  to  the  per share
consideration  received  by  holders  of  Common  Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.

     10.     Tax  Consequences.  Optionee  understands  that Optionee may suffer
             -----------------
adverse  tax  consequences  as a result of Optionee's purchase or disposition of
the  Shares.  Optionee  represents  that  Optionee  has  consulted  with any tax
consultants  Optionee  deems  advisable  in  connection  with  the  purchase  or
disposition  of  the  Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for
any  tax  advice.  Optionee  understands  that  the  Company  may be required to
withhold  from  Optionee's  compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the
applicable  taxing  authorities  an  amount in cash equal to a percentage of any
compensation  income recognized at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor
the  exercise  and  refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not
delivered  at  the  time  of  exercise.

     11.     Entire  Agreement;  Governing Law.  This  Agreement  constitute the
             ---------------------------------
entire  agreement  of  the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company
and  Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified
adversely  to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the
Company  and  Optionee.  This  agreement is governed by the internal substantive
laws,  but  not  the  choice  of  law  rules,  of  California.

     12.     NO  GUARANTEE  OF  CONTINUED  SERVICE.  OPTIONEE  ACKNOWLEDGES  AND
             -------------------------------------
AGREES  THAT  THE  VESTING  OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED  ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND
NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES
HEREUNDER).  OPTIONEE  FURTHER  ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO
NOT  CONSTITUTE  AN  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED  PROMISE  OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A
SERVICE  PROVIDER  FOR  THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL
NOT  INTERFERE  WITH  OPTIONEE'S  RIGHT  OR  THE  COMPANY'S  RIGHT  TO TERMINATE
OPTIONEE'S  RELATIONSHIP  AS  A  SERVICE  PROVIDER  AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE.

This  Amends,  Restates  and  Extends all prior Notes from Borrower to Holder as
follow:

FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  Newport  Federal,  a  California corporation ("Borrower")
promises  to pay to the order of Advantage America, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and  California  Finance  Lender,  ("Holder"),  or  order at 4425 Jamboree Road,
Newport  Beach,  California  92660,  the  sum of Three Hundred Two Thousand Four
Hundred  Twenty-One  and  00/100 Dollars ($302,421.00) with interest from August
31,  2002  until  paid  at  the  rate  of  ten  percent  (10%) per annum payable
           (see below)                :
--------------------------------------

       This  Note  is  due  and payable without demand or notice in full
       including  all  accrued  and  unpaid  principal  and  interest on
       NOVEMBER  14,  2002  ("Maturity"). This Note may be paid or drawn
       upon  at  any time until Maturity. Monthly payments calculated at
       interest  only  shall  be made by Borrower by the 1st day of each
       month  in  arrears.

Should  interest  not  be so paid, it shall thereafter bear like interest as the
principal,  but  such  unpaid  interest so compounded shall not exceed an amount
equal  to  simple interest on the unpaid principal at the maximum rate permitted
by  law.  Should  default  be made in the payment of any installment of interest
when  due, then the whole sum of principal and interest shall become immediately
due  and  payable  at  the  option  of  the Holder of this Note.  Should suit be
commenced  to collect this Note or any potion thereof, such sum as the Court may
deem  reasonable  shall  be  added  hereto  as  attorney's  fees.  Principal and
interest  is payable in lawful money of the United States of America.  This note
is  secured  by  a  certain DEED OF TRUST to the FIRST AMERICAN TITLE COMPANY OF
ORANGE  COUNTY,  a  California  corporation,  as  Trustee.
