      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay to the order of  Ed
 Stefanko, ("Payee"), the principal sum of Fifty Thousand and NO/lO0  dollars
 ($50,000.00) with  interest  on the  principal  balance from  time  to  time
 remaining unpaid prior to  maturity at the rate  (the "Applicable Rate")  of
 the lesser of (i) Twenty  four percent (24%) per  annum or (ii) the  highest
 rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

      Interest shall be  payable monthly during the  term of this Note,  with
 the first payment due September 30, 1997 and continuing monthly  thereafter,
 with the entire  unpaid amount  of principal  and accrued  interest due  and
 payable in its entirety on August 31, 2002.  Interest on this Note shall  be
 calculated at a  daily rate  equal to 1/360  of the  annual percentage  rate
 stated above,  subject to  the provisions  hereof limiting  interest to  the
 maximum permitted by applicable law.

      This Note may be prepaid without penalty.

      The undersigned and all other  parties now or hereafter liable for  the
 payment  hereof,  whether  as  endorser,  guarantor,  surety  or  otherwise,
 severally waive  demand,  presentation,  notice of  dishonor,  diligence  in
 collection, grace, notice (except  as otherwise expressly provided  herein),
 protest, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity as herein provided, and
 consent to  all renewals  and extensions  which  from time  to time  may  be
 granted by the  holder hereof and  to all partial  payments hereon,  whether
 before or after maturity.

      If  this Note  is  not  paid  when  due,  whether  at  maturity  or  by
 acceleration, or if it is collected  through a bankruptcy, probate or  other
 court; whether  before or  after maturity,  the  undersigned agrees  to  pay
 reasonable attorney's fees together with  all actual expenses of  litigation
 and cost of Court, incurred by the holder hereof.

      This Note shall  be secured pursuant  to a Security  Agreement of  even
 date herewith.

<PAGE>
      All agreements  between the  Maker  and the  holder hereof  are  hereby
 expressly limited so that  in no contingency or  event whatsoever shall  the
 amount paid,  or agreed  to be  paid,  to the  holder  hereof for  the  use,
 forbearance or detention  of the  money to  be loaned  hereunder exceed  the
 maximum amount permissible under the applicable law.  In the event  that the
 maturity of  this Note  should be  accelerated for  any reason  then  earned
 interest may  never include  more than  the maximum  amount permitted  under
 applicable law and  any unearned interest  in excess of  the maximum  amount
 permitted under  applicable law  shall be  cancelled automatically  and,  if
 theretofore paid, shall be  refunded to the undersigned  or credited to  the
 principal amount owing on this Note. If, from any circumstances  whatsoever,
 fulfillment of  any  provision  hereof  at  the  time  performance  of  such
 provision shall  be due  shall involve  transcending the  limit of  validity
 prescribed by  applicable  law,  then, ipso  facto,  the  obligation  to  be
 fulfilled shall be reduced to  the limit of such  validity, and if from  any
 circumstances the holder hereof  should ever receive  as interest an  amount
 that would  exceed  the highest  lawful  rate,  such amount  that  would  be
 excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
 owning thereunder and not  to the payment of  interest or if such  excessive
 interest exceeds  the  unpaid balance  of  principal, the  excess  shall  be
 refunded to the Maker hereof.  All sums contracted for, charged or  received
 hereunder  for  the  use,  forbearance  of  detention  of  the  indebtedness
 evidenced hereby  shall,  to the  extent  permitted by  applicable  law,  be
 amortized, prorated, allocated and spread through the full term of this Note
 until payment in full so that  the rate of interest  on the account of  such
 indebtedness is  uniform  through the  full  term  hereof.   The  terms  and
 provision  of  this  paragraph  shall  control  and  supersede  every  other
 provision of all agreements between the undersigned and the holder hereof.

      This Note shall be governed  by, and construed in accordance with,  the
 laws of the State of Texas and the  United States of America to the  extent,
 and only to the extent, that the laws of the United States of America permit
 a greater rate of interest to be contracted for, received, charged, reserved
 or taken that would otherwise  be permitted under the  laws of the State  of
 Texas.  Unless  changed in accordance  with applicable  law, the  applicable
 rate ceiling  under  Texas  law  shall be  the  indicated  rate  ceiling  as
 described in Tex. Rev. Civ. State. Ann. art. 5069-1.04(a), as amended.

      or Debtor's title to the Collateral.

          b.   Financing  Statement.  Debtor  will  join  in  executing   all
      financing  statements and  other instruments,  documents,  certificates

      Debtor will  not process, sell, lease, or  otherwise dispose of all  or
      part of  the Collateral. Secured  Party may assign  or transfer all  or

      4.  Rights  of Debtor.    Prior to  the  occurrence of  a  Default  (as
 hereinafter defined), Debtor  may exercise any  and all  rights, voting  and
 otherwise, with respect to the Collateral.  However, Debtor may not  receive
 any distributions and  other payments made  with respect  to the  Collateral
 free from the Security Interest provided for in this Agreement.

      5.  Rights  of Secured  Party.   Effective  upon  the occurrence  of  a
 Default, Debtor hereby appoints  secured Party as Debtor's  attorney-in-fact
 to do any act which Debtor is obligated by this Agreement to do, to exercise

 distributions! made with  respect to the  Collateral, and to  do all  things
 deemed necessary  by Secured  Party to  perfect  the Security  Interest  and
 preserve, collect, enforce and protect the Collateral, all at Debtor's  cost
 and without any obligation on Secured Party so to act.  Secured Party  shall
 not be liable  for any act  or omission on  the part of  Secured Party,  his
 agents or employees, except willful misconduct,  nor shall Secured Party  be
 responsible for depreciation in value of the Collateral or for  preservation
 of ri9hts against prior parties.  The foregoing rights and powers of Secured
 Party may be exercised after default and shall be in addition to, and not  a
 limitation upon, any rights and powers  of Secured Party given herein or  by
 law, custom, or otherwise.

      6. Events  of Default.   Debtor shall be  in default ("Default")  under
 this Agreement upon the occurrence of a default pursuant to the terms of the
 Note, and Debtor's failure to cure such default within the time periods  set
 forth in the Note.

      7. Remedies of Secured Party upon Default.  When a Default occurs,  and
 except as may be otherwise provided  in the Note, Secured Party may  declare
 all or  a part  of  the Indebtedness  immediately  due and  payable  without
 demand, notice of default, notice of  intent to demand, notice of intent  to
 accelerate maturity, or notice of acceleration of maturity, and may  proceed
 to enforce payment of  same and to exercise  any and all  of the rights  and
 remedies provided  by Article  9  of the Texas  Business and  Commerce  Code
 ("Code") as well as all other rights and remedies possessed by Secured Party
 under this Agreement or otherwise at law  or in equity. For purposes of  the
 notice requirements of the Code, Secured Party and Debtor agree that  notice
 given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the related action  hereunder
 is reasonable. Secured Party  shall be entitled  to immediate possession  of
 the collateral and  all books  and records  evidencing same  and shall  have
 authority to enter upon any premises  upon which said items may be  situated
 and remove same  therefrom.  Expenses  of retaking,  holding, preparing  for
 sale, selling,  or  the  like, shall  include  without  limitation,  Secured
 Party's reasonable attorney's fees and all such expenses shall be  recovered
 by Secured Party before  applying the proceeds from  the disposition of  the
 Collateral toward  the Indebtedness.  To the  extent  allowed by  the  Code,
 Secured Party  may  use his  discretion  in  applying the  proceeds  of  any
 disposition of the  Collateral.  All  rights and remedies  of Secured  Party
 hereunder are cumulative and may be  exercised singly or concurrently.   The
 exercise of any right or remedy will not be a waiver of any other.

      8.  General.

          a.  Exhaustion  of Remedies.  Secured  Party shall not be  required
      to first  foreclose, proceed against, or  exhaust any other  collateral
      or  security  for  any Indebtedness  or  obligation  of  Debtor  hereby
      secured before pursuing any  of its rights pursuant to this  Agreement.
      Suit  may be brought  to recover other  collateral at  the election  of
      Secured Party, without joinder of Debtor.

          b.  Release of  Collateral.  Secured Party may surrender,  release,
      exchange  or alter  any  collateral or  security for  the  Indebtedness
      hereby secured without effecting the Security Interest created by  this
      Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue effective  notwithstanding
      any legal disability of Debtor to incur any indebtedness or  obligation
      incurred to Secured Party.

          c.  Waiver  by Secured Party.   No waiver by  Secured Party of  any
      right  hereunder or  of any  default by  Debtor shall  be binding  upon
      Secured Party unless in writing.  Failure or delay by Secured Party  to
      exercise  any  right hereunder  or  waiver  of any  default  shall  not
      operate as  a waiver of any  other right, of  further exercise of  such
      right, or of any further default.

          d.  Parties Bound.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and  inure
      to  the benefit  of  the parties  hereto  and their  respective  heirs,

      except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

          g.  Severability.   The unenforceability of  any provision of  this

      reference only and not for definiti6n or interpretation.

          i.  ambiguity.  In  event it shall be determined that there is  any
      ambiguity  contained  herein, said  ambiguity  shall not  be  construed
      against either party hereto as a result of such party's preparation  of
      this Agreement,  but, shall be interpreted  in favor or against  either
      of the parties hereto in light of all the facts, circumstances and  the
      intentions  of the  parties at  the  time of  their executive  of  this
