     1.     Loaned  Funds.   Lender  has  extended credit to the Company, and is
            -------------
expected  to continue to extend  credit to the Company  ("Loan"),  which Loan is

initial loan of $53,000.00,  and (b) any other loans or advances  Lender agrees,
in its sole discretion, to make to the Company that are not covered by any other
agreement between the Company and Lender.  Each month that Lender makes advances
or loans to the Company, the Company shall enter the amount of those advances or
loans at  Exhibit  A of this  Note,  and  shall  have  Lender  acknowledge  that
installment on that exhibit.  The aggregate of unpaid loans and advances  listed
on Exhibit A from time to time shall be referred to as "Loaned Funds."

Loaned Funds from the date set forth in Exhibit A, and continue through the date
on which such unpaid principal  balance is repaid in frill.  Throughout the term
of this Note,  interest  shall be  calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and
shall be computed for the actual number of days in the period for which interest
is charged.

     3.     Conversion.
            ----------

          3.1     Conversion  Rights.  The  unpaid principal amount of this Note
                  ------------------
may be converted into shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  at the election of
the Lender, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior
to the Maturity  Date,  at the  conversion  price of $1.00 per share,  as may be
adjusted in  accordance  with section 4 hereof  (such  conversion  price,  as so
adjusted and in effect at any time, herein called the "Conversion Price"),  into
the number of fully paid and nonassessable  shares of the Company's Common Stock
determined by dividing the principal amount to be so converted by the Conversion
Price in effect at the time of such  conversion.  If the Lender converts some or
all of this Note from time to time, he shall be entitled to receive the interest
accrued to the  conversion  date on that portion of this Note so  converted,  in
cash or in stock at the Company's option.

          3.2     Notice  of Conversion; New Note. This Note may be converted in
                  -------------------------------
full or in part by the Lender  prior to the  Maturity  Date by surrender of this
Note with the  notice of  conversion  annexed  hereto  duly  executed  by Lender
(specifying  the portion of the principal  amount thereof to be converted in the
case of a partial  conversion)  to the Company.  Upon any partial  conversion of
this Note, the Company will make the appropriate  entry  evidencing such partial
conversion  at Exhibit  A, and the amount of  principal  and  interest  (if any)
represented by such conversion shall be reduced from the then-outstanding amount
of  Loaned  Funds.  Each  conversion  shall  be  deemed  to have  been  effected
immediately  prior to the close of  business  on the date on which this Note and
notice of conversion shall have been so surrendered to the Company.

                  -------------------------------------------------
as practicable  after the conversion of this Note in full or in part, and in any
event  within 30 days  thereafter,  the  Company at its  expense  will issue and
deliver  to the  Lender a  certificate  or  certificates  for the number of full
shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  conversion,  plus,  in lieu of any
fractional share to which the Lender would otherwise be entitled,  cash equal to
such fraction of the Conversion Price.

     4.     Adjustment  of  Conversion  Price.
            ---------------------------------

          4.1     Adjustments  for  Stock  Splits. etc. In the event the Company
                  ------------------------------------
shall at any time undergo a stock split,  stock dividend or other combination or
subdivision that does not involve payment of consideration for such shares,  the
Conversion  Price  in  effect   immediately   prior  to  such  change  shall  be
proportionately  decreased.  In the event the Company  shall at any time combine
its outstanding  Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect  immediately prior
to such combination  shall be  proportionately  increased.  Any adjustment shall
become  effective at the close of business on the date that such  subdivision or
combination shall become effective.

                  ------------------------------
or readjustment of the Conversion  Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company
will promptly  compute such  adjustment or  readjustment  in accordance with the
terms  hereof  and  cause  a  certificate   setting  forth  such  adjustment  or
readjustment  and  showing in detail the facts  upon  which such  adjustment  or
readjustment is based to be delivered to the Lender.

Company  to any  other  person or any  consolidation  or  merger  involving  the
Company,  or (b)  any  voluntary  or  involuntary  dissolution,  liquidation  or
winding-up of the Company,  the Company will mail to the Lender at least 10 days

illegality  or  invalidity  shall  not  affect  the  balance  of the  terms  and
provisions  hereof,   which  terms  and  provisions  shall  remain  binding  and

determined that the California  usury law is applicable to the loan, the Company

herein shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use,  forbearance or
detention  of money  requiring  payment of  interest  at a rate in excess of the
maximum  interest  rate  permitted  to be  charged  by the laws of the  State of
California.  In such event,  if the Lender shall collect monies which are deemed
to constitute  interest which would  otherwise  increase the effective  interest
rate on this  Note to a rate in  excess  of the  maximum  rate  permitted  to be
charged  by the  laws of the  State  of  California,  all such  sums  deemed  to
constitute  interest  in excess of such  maximum  rate  shall,  at the option of
Lender,  be credited to the payment of the sums due hereunder or returned to the
Company.

     14.     Entire  Agreement. This Note constitutes the entire agreement among

the parties with regard to the subjects hereof,  and supersedes and replaces any
prior or  contemporaneous  negotiations,  discussions,  contracts or agreements,
written  or oral.  The terms and  conditions  of this  Note  shall  inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon,  the  respective  successors and assigns of the
parties.  Nothing  in this Note is  intended  to  confer on any third  party any
rights, liabilities or obligations, except as specifically provided.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Note as of the date first
above written.
