                                                            December 20, 2002

      PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RICHARDS CAJUN FOODS CORP., a Delaware corporation and
ATLANTIC PREMIUM BRANDS, LTD., formerly known as ATLANTIC BEVERAGE COMPANY, INC,
a Delaware corporation (together, "MAKERS"), hereby jointly and severally
promise to pay J.L. RICHARD ("PAYEE"), the principal sum of Five Hundred Fifty
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($550,000.00), in lawful money of the United States
of America, together with interest on the balance of principal from time to time
outstanding and unpaid hereon commencing on December 20, 2002 until the maturity
hereof (whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise) at the rate per
annum equal to ELEVEN per cent (11%) per annum ("INTEREST RATE").

      THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE HEREUNDER IS SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT PURSUANT TO
SCHEDULE D TO THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF AUGUST 1, 1996 AMONG
MAKERS AND PAYEE.

      Interest only at the Interest Rate shall be paid quarterly in arrears
commencing on December 31, 2002 and on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 thereafter through and including December 31, 2007. A final payment
of all accrued, unpaid interest and the remaining principal balance of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be due and payable on February 15, 2008 (the
"MATURITY DATE").

      After an Event of Default hereunder, any principal sums remaining unpaid
hereunder shall bear interest at the "Default Rate" until such Event of Default
is cured unless the Payee has commenced any of the remedies of Payee described
herein, in which case the Interest Rate shall remain in effect. The "DEFAULT
RATE" shall mean two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate.

      Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five
(365) day year for actual days elapsed. All payments on account of the
indebtedness evidencing this Note shall first be applied to late charges and
costs and fees incurred by Payee in enforcing its rights hereunder, second to
interest due on the unpaid principal balance hereunder and third to reduce the
unpaid principal of the hereunder.

      Payment of all amounts due under this Note shall be made at the office of
Payee, or such other place as Payee may from time to time designate in writing.

<PAGE>

      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Note, it is the intent of Makers
and Payee that Payee shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as
interest on principal of the indebtedness, any amount in excess of the maximum
rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law; and if under any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, 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 in the event Payee
ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount
which would be excess interest shall be deemed a permitted partial prepayment of
principal without penalty or premium and treated hereunder as such; and if the
principal of the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, any remaining
excess funds shall forthwith be paid to Makers.

      If payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
business day and interest shall be payable thereon at the rate specified during
such extension.

      PREPAYMENT

      This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium
or penalty. Makers will use their best efforts to prepay the principal of this
Note, subject however, in all instances to the consent of the Lender.

      DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

      (a)   In the event that:

                  (i) default is made in a payment of principal or interest due
hereunder;

                  (ii) default is made with respect to any indebtedness of Maker
which is senior in priority to the indebtedness evidenced hereby ("Senior
Debt");

                  (iii) the filing by Makers of a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or for arrangement, reorganization or other relief under a chapter of
the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") or any similar
law, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect;

                  (iv) the filing by Makers of an answer or other pleading in
any proceeding admitting insolvency, bankruptcy, or the inability to pay their
debts as they mature;

                  (v) the non-dismissal, within sixty (60) days after the filing
against Makers, of any involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or
similar law, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect;

                  (vi) the adjudication of Makers as bankrupt or the entry of an
order for relief in respect of Makers by any bankruptcy court;

<PAGE>

                  (vii) an assignment by Makers for the benefit of creditors or

custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or the major part of their
property; and

                  (viii) the entry of an order appointing a custodian, receiver,
trustee or liquidator of all or a major part of Makers' property which is not
vacated within sixty (60) days following the entry hereof,

then in the case of the defaults set forth above (collectively "Events of
Default"), Payee shall have the option, subject to Lender's rights under the
Subordination Agreement, without demand or notice, to declare the accrual of the
Default Rate, and declare the unpaid principal hereof, together with all accrued
interest, prepayment premium, if any, and all other sums due hereunder, at once
due and payable to the extent permitted by law, and to exercise any and all
other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to Payee. Within three
(3) days after receiving a default notice with respect to any Senior Debt, Maker
shall forward such notice to the attention of Payee.

      (b) The remedies of Payee, as provided herein shall be cumulative and
concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole
discretion of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall
arise. No act of omission or commission of Payee, including specifically any
failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a
waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only
through a written document executed by Payee and then only to the extent
specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one
event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or
release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.
Payee acknowledges that Makers are third party beneficiaries of Payee's duties,
obligations and covenants under the Subordination Agreement.

      (c) If any Event of Default hereunder shall occur or if suit is filed
herein or if proceedings are held in bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or
other legal or judicial proceedings for the collection hereof, Makers shall pay
all costs of collection of every kind, including but not limited to all
appraisal costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses of every
kind, incurred by Payee in connection with such collection or the protection or
enforcement of any or all of the security for this Note, whether or not any
lawsuit is filed with respect thereto.

      WAIVER

      Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Makers hereby waive grace,
notice, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of default, protest, demand,
presentment for payment and diligence in the collection of this Note, and in the
filing of suit hereon, and agrees that their liability and the liability of
their successors and assigns for the payment hereof shall not be affected or
impaired by any increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness
or mode and time of payment. It is specifically agreed by the undersigned that
except as provided below, the Payee shall have the right at all times to decline
to make any such increase, modification, renewal or extension of the
indebtedness or its mode and time of payment.
