                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

                                                                 October 1, 2004

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Penge Corp., a Nevada corporation, with an address
at 11231 Winter Cottage Place, Las Vegas, NV 89135 (the "Maker"), promises to
pay to the order of __________________, an individual, with an address at
______________________________________________________________ _____________
(the "Holder") all amounts advanced by Holder to Maker from time to time up to
an amount, not to exceed $200,000, together with interest on such principal sum
as stated herein. This Note shall evidence the indebtedness described herein.

1. INTEREST. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount at the
rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, simple interest, prorated on a daily
basis. Interest shall be calculated using the actual number of days elapsed
divided by 365. If the amount of interest payable on any date under this Note
would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law or regulation, then
the amount of interest payable on such date shall be reduced automatically to
such maximum amount.

2. PAYMENT. All outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under this
Note shall be due in full on the date thirty (30) days after the Holder gives
the Maker written demand for payment of outstanding principal and accrued but
unpaid interest. Holder shall not be permitted to make demand until one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date first written above. Maker, at its option,
shall be permitted to make payment of accrued interest with cash or in common
stock of the Maker.

3. PREPAYMENT. This Note may be prepaid by Maker in part or in full in
immediately available United States Dollars. No prepayment penalties, whether of
interest or otherwise, shall apply to any prepayment made to Holder of principal
or interest on this Note. No prepayment shall eliminate or reduce any rights of
Holder or Maker under this Note unless and until this Note is paid in full.

4. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder: (a) Maker shall
fail to pay all principal and interest under this Note when due; (b) a decree or
order for relief of Maker shall be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
in any voluntary case involving Maker under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or
similar law now or hereafter in effect, or a receiver, liquidator, or other
similar agent for Maker or for any substantial part of Maker's assets or
property shall be appointed or the winding up or liquidation of Maker's affairs
shall be ordered; or (c) Maker shall commence a voluntary case under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or Maker
shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under
any such law or to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator or other similar agent for Maker or for any substantial part of
Maker's assets or property, or Maker shall make any general assignment for the
benefit of creditors.

Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default hereunder, the entire unpaid
principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest,
shall, at the option of the Holder, become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, cure or notice, all of which are expressly waived by Maker and
all endorsers, guarantors, sureties, accommodation parties and other persons at
any time liable for all or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note. Any forbearance, failure or delay by the Holder in exercising any right or
remedy under this Note or otherwise available to the Holder shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise

                                       1
<PAGE>

of any right or remedy preclude the further exercise of such right or remedy. If
the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof is collected in
bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings or if this Note is placed
in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, the Maker agrees to pay,
in addition to the principal and accrued interest payable hereunder, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Holder.

5. USURY. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note or any
other agreement entered into in connection with this Note, if the Holder ever
receives as interest under this Note an amount which would result in interest
being charged at a rate exceeding the maximum allowed by law, such amount or
portion as otherwise would be excessive interest shall automatically be applied
toward reduction of the unpaid principal balance then outstanding under this
Note, and not toward payment of interest.

6. MISCELLANEOUS. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this
Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision of
this Note. The terms of this Note shall bind Maker and Holder and inure to the
benefit of each and their permitted heirs, successors, assigns and legal
representatives. Maker may not assign this Note without the express prior
written consent of the Holder. The Holder may not assign or convey this Note
without the consent of Maker. This Note shall be governed by Nevada law. This
Note is the final expression of the agreement between the Holder and Maker and
may not be contradicted by evidence of any alleged oral agreement. Acceptance of
this Note by the Holder of this Note shall be deemed to constitute an agreement
by such Holder with all provisions of this Note.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Maker has duly executed this Note,
or has caused this Note to be duly executed on its behalf, as of the day and
year first hereinabove set forth.

TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, TRUSTOR AGREES:
(1) To keep said property in good condition and repair; not to remove or

(2) To provide, maintain and deliver to Beneficiary fire insurance satisfactory
to and with loss payable to Beneficiary. The amount collected under any fire or
other insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness
secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at option of

to Trustor. Such application or release shall not cure or waive any default or
notice of Trustee's sale hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such
notice.
(3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the
security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; including
cost of evidence of title and attorney's fees in a reasonable sum, in any such
action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear, and in any suit
brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed of Trust.

when due, all encumbrances, charges and liens, with interest, on said property

lawful charges, costs, and expenses in the event of reinstatement of, following
default in, this Deed of Trust or obligations secured hereby.
     Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein
provided, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation so to do and
without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any
obligation hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said
property for such purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary
or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge or
lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto;
and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and
pay his reasonable fees.
(5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary or
Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof, together with interest from date of
expenditure at the same rate as is provided for in the note secured by this Deed
of Trust or at the highest legal rate, whichever be the greater rate. Any
amounts so paid by Beneficiary or Trustee shall become a part of the debt
secured by this Deed of Trust and a lien on said premises or immediately due and
payable at option of Beneficiary or Trustee.

IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED:
(6) That any award of damages in connection with any condemnation or any such
taking, or for injury to the property by reason of public use, or for damages
for private trespass or injury thereto, is assigned and shall be paid to
Beneficiary as further security for all obligations secured hereby (reserving
unto the Trustor, however, the right to sue therefor and the ownership thereof
subject to this Deed of Trust), and upon receipt of such moneys, Beneficiary may
hold the same as such further security, or apply or release the same in the same
manner and with the same effect as above provided for disposition of proceeds of
fire or other insurance.
(7) That time is of the essence of this Deed of Trust, and that by accepting
payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does nor waive
his right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured
or to declare default for failure so to pay.

(8) That at any time or from time to time, without notice, upon written request
of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and said note(s) for
endorsement, and without liability therefor, and without affecting the personal
liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and
without affecting the security hereof for the full amount secured hereby on all
property remaining subject hereto, and without the necessity that any sum
representing the value or any portion thereof of the property affected by the
Trustee's action be credited on the indebtedness, the Trustee may: (a) release
and reconvey all or any part of said property; (b) consent to the making and
recording, or either, of any map or plat of the property or any part thereof;
(c) join in granting any easement thereon; (d) join in or consent to any
extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien, encumbrance, or
charge hereof.
(9) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured
hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and said note(s)
to Trustee for cancellation and retention, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee
shall release and reconvey, without covenant of warranty, express or implied,
the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any
matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.

legally entitled thereto."
(10) That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon
Beneficiary the right, power and authority, during the continuance of this
Trust, to collect the property income, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior
to any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in
performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and retain such property
income as it becomes due and payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at
any time without notice, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the
indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of said property or
any part thereof, in his own name sue for or otherwise collect such property
income, including that past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and
expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, upon
any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.

property income, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or
waive any default or notice of Trustee's sale hereunder or invalidate any act
done pursuant to such notice.
(11) That upon default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby
or in performance of any agreement hereunder, Beneficiary may declare all sums
secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written
declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice thereof,

property, under this Deed of Trust.
     Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, said
note(s) and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby.

required by law, and after the lapse of such time as may be required by law.
Trustee shall sell, in the manner required by law, said property at public
auction at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of Trustee's sale to
the highest bidder for cash of lawful money of the United States, payable at
time of sale. Trustee may postpone or continue the sale by giving notice of
postponement or continuance by public declaration at the time and place last
appointed for the sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its Deed
conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, expressed
or implied. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary may purchase
at such sale.
     After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust,
including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale and reasonable
attorney's, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: All sums
then secured hereby and all other sums due under the terms hereof. To the extent
permitted by law, an action be maintained by Beneficiary to recover a deficiency
judgment for any balance due hereunder.
     In lieu of sale pursuant to the power of sale conferred hereby, This Deed
of Trust may be foreclosed in the same manner provided by law for the
foreclosure of mortgages on real property, Beneficiary shall also have all other
rights and remedies available to it hereunder at law or in equity. All rights

by law. A successor Trustee herein shall, without conveyance from the
predecessor Trustee, succeed to all the predecessor's title, estate, rights,
powers and duties. Trustee may resign by mailing or delivering notice thereof to
