1.   FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Manchester Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Borrower"),
     hereby promises to pay to the order of Brazos  Equities LLC ("Lender"),  at
     such time,  place and in such manner as Lender may specify in writing,  the
     principal   amount  of  ONE   HUNDRED   AND  FIFTY   THOUSAND   US  DOLLARS

     outstanding  principal  of this Note at the  annual  rate of 6% per  annum,
     calculated  based  on a year of 365  days  and  actual  days  elapsed  (the
     "Interest").

2.   The  Borrower  hereby  promises  to pay  to the  order  of the  Lender  the
     Principal  and all  Interest  due  thereon  within  thirty  (30)  days upon
     delivery to the Company of written  demand by the Lender (the "Due  Date"),
     at such place and in such manner as Lender may specify in writing.

3.   Any and all fees, costs,  expenses and  disbursements  charged by financial
     institutions  with respect to wire  transfer or other  transmittal  charges
     incurred in connection  with  delivery of the Principal  from the Lender to
     the Borrower shall be deemed to have been received by the Borrower from the
     Lender  and all  such  amounts  shall be  included  in the  calculation  of
     Principal hereunder.

4.   This Note shall not be  transferable  by Borrower  and the Borrower may not
     assign,  transfer or sell all or a portion of its rights and  interests  to

     void ab initio.  The Lender may  transfer  and assign this Note at its sole
     discretion.

5.   The failure at any time of the Lender to exercise any of its options or any
     other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof,  nor shall it
     be a bar to the  exercise  of any of its options or rights at a later date.
     All  rights  and  remedies  of the Lender  shall be  cumulative  and may be
     pursued singly,  successively or together, at the option of the Lender. The
     acceptance  by the Lender of any partial  payment  shall not  constitute  a
     waiver of any default or of any of the Lender's  rights under this Note. No
     waiver of any of its rights hereunder,  and no modification or amendment of
     this Note,  shall be deemed to be made by the Lender  unless the same shall
     be in writing,  duly  signed on behalf of the Lender;  and each such waiver
     shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved,  and shall
     in no way impair the rights of the Lender in any other respect at any other
     time.

6.   Any term or  condition  of this Note may be waived at any time by the party
     that is  entitled  to the  benefit  thereof,  but no such  waiver  shall be
     effective  unless set forth in a written  instrument duly executed by or on
     behalf of the party waiving such term or condition.

7.   The  Borrower  represents  and  warrants  that  this  Note is the valid and
     binding  obligation of the Borrower,  fully  enforceable in accordance with
     its terms.  The  execution  and delivery by the Borrower of this Note,  the
     performance  by  the  Borrower  of  its   obligations   hereunder  and  the
     consummation of the transactions  contemplated  hereby and thereby does not
     and will not: (a)  conflict  with or result in a violation or breach of any
     of  the  terms,   conditions  or  provisions  of  the  Borrower's   charter
     instruments;  (b)  conflict  with or result in a violation or breach of any
     term or provision of any law or order  applicable to the Borrower or any of
     its  assets  and  properties;  or (c)  (i)  conflict  with or  result  in a
     violation  or breach of, or (ii) result in or give to any person any rights
     or create any  additional or increased  liability of the Borrower  under or
     create or impose  any lien  upon,  the  Borrower  or any of its  assets and
     properties  under,  any contract or permit to which the Borrower is a party
     or by which its assets and properties are bound.
