         PMC has the right to grant the exclusive license described herein to
LICENSEE under the SUBJECT PATENTS, including any patent issuing after the date

         1.01 LICENSOR hereby grants to LICENSEE, during the term of this
Agreement, an exclusive license to use the inventions disclosed and claimed in

described in the STARSIGHT LICENSE or (v) settles its outstanding disputes with
STARSIGHT, then PMC will, or will cause its AFFILIATE(s) to, obligate in writing
any party to the foregoing transactions to: (i) if the party is a STARSIGHT
AFFILIATE, not sue LICENSEE and its SUBLICENSEES and their AFFILIATES for
infringement of the SUBJECT PATENTS within the field of use licensed to
STARSIGHT under the STARSIGHT LICENSE, if such license exists; (ii) if the party

or engages in an intellectual property licensing transaction with a STARSIGHT
AFFILIATE.

         1.02 In furtherance of the license granted herein, PMC agrees to
furnish all information upon request from LICENSEE or any SUBLICENSEE hereunder
concerning the issued patents identified in Schedule A attached hereto and any
subsequent patent which issues from the pending patent applications identified
in Schedule B attached hereto; as well as all manufacturing and technical
information requested by LICENSEE on behalf of any SUBLICENSEE or directly by
any SUBLICENSEE, if appropriate, concerning or pertaining to the use of the
inventions disclosed and/or claimed in those patents and pending patent
applications within the FIELD OF USE, which manufacturing and technical
information is in LICENSOR's possession at the time of such request.

         1.03 No provision in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent LICENSOR
and LICENSEE or any SUBLICENSEE from entering into other agreements involving
the SUBJECT PATENTS for activities or products other than those expressly set
forth in the FIELD OF USE as defined in this Agreement.

         1.04 PMC agrees and covenants not to sue LICENSEE, and LICENSEE (as
agent for PMC) shall have the right to grant covenants not to sue any
SUBLICENSEE and its AFFILIATES and the CONSUMERS who subscribe to any of
SUBLICENSEE's and its AFFILIATES' services, for any of the following: (i) the
COMMUNICATION of any infringing PROGRAMMING SERVICES within the FIELD OF USE and
the use by CONSUMERS who subscribe to any such SUBLICENSEE's and its AFFILIATEs'
services of such PROGRAMMING SERVICES, (ii) the combination by a RECEIVER at a
CONSUMER's location of PROGRAMMING SERVICES delivered by any means outside the
FIELD OF USE with PROGRAMMING SERVICES delivered within the FIELD OF USE, but
only if such combination is made independent of any service provided by any
LICENSEE or SUBLICENSEE or its AFFILIATES other than PROGRAMMING SERVICES within
the FIELD OF USE, or (iii) any sale or provision of infringing RECEIVERS by any
such SUBLICENSEE or its AFFILIATES, or their agents or dealers, or use of such
infringing RECEIVERS, when such RECEIVERS are principally intended for receipt
of PROGRAMMING SERVICES delivered by any such SUBLICENSEE or its AFFILIATES to
such RECEIVERS within the FIELD OF USE. Such covenants not to sue shall be
construed as though any SUBLICENSEE is the LICENSEE, and LICENSOR agrees to be
bound by such specified covenants granted by any such SUBLICENSEE hereunder.
This provision shall in no way be construed as an implied license for the
creators, programmers or distributors of infringing PROGRAMMING SERVICES,
CONSUMERS who combine licensed PROGRAMMING SERVICES with infringing signals or
program content, or the manufacturers of infringing RECEIVERS to make or sell
any invention disclosed and claimed in the SUBJECT PATENTS.

         3.01 LICENSEE shall have the right to grant to any SUBLICENSEE the
right to enforce the SUBJECT PATENTS in its own name against any person

PMC shall upon request of such SUBLICENSEE execute all documents and take all
other actions, including joining as a party, to the extent reasonably necessary
to enforce any SUBJECT PATENT under this provision. PMC will be reimbursed by

resulting from becoming a party to any action (except for litigation costs
relating to PMC's claims for infringements outside the FIELD OF USE that may be
pursued in conjunction with SUBLICENSEE's claims relating to infringements
within the FIELD OF USE). If any such SUBLICENSEE enforces the SUBJECT PATENTS
in the FIELD OF USE, that SUBLICENSEE shall receive all proceeds and other

          3.02 If any SUBLICENSEE is obligated to make any payment or
compensation to LICENSEE or PMC of any kind, LICENSEE shall require such
SUBLICENSEE to keep and make available to PMC on reasonable notice sufficient
records to allow PMC to determine that such payment or compensation is proper
and complete. During the term of this Agreement and for two years following the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall require any
SUBLICENSEE hereunder to permit its records to be inspected to determine the
correctness of the computation of any compensation made hereunder. Such
inspections shall be during reasonable business hours and on reasonable notice
to SUBLICENSEE, and shall be conducted by an auditor designated by PMC and
acceptable to the appropriate SUBLICENSEE. The acceptance by any SUBLICENSEE of
such auditor designated by PMC shall not be unreasonably withheld. The auditor
shall report to PMC the amount of any compensation and the basis upon which it
was determined. If the compensation payable in any payment period is found to
have been understated by ten percent (10%) or more, SUBLICENSEE shall reimburse
PMC for its costs and expenses incurred in having the inspection conducted.

                       ARTICLE 4. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY

entire right, title and interest in and to the SUBJECT PATENTS and the
inventions disclosed and/or claimed therein, and that it has the right to grant
the license granted to LICENSEE pursuant to this Agreement.

         4.02     Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as:

         (a) a warranty or representation by LICENSOR as to the validity or
scope of any of the SUBJECT PATENTS;

         (b) a warranty or representation by LICENSOR that any manufacture, use,
lease, or sale of any product does not or will not infringe patents, copyrights,
industrial design rights or other proprietary rights owned or controlled by
third parties. LICENSOR shall not be liable to LICENSEE directly or as an
indemnitor of (i) LICENSEE, (ii) SUBLICENSEES or (iii) customers of SUBLICENSEES
as a consequence of any alleged infringement of any such third party patents,
copyrights, industrial design rights or other proprietary rights;

         (c) a requirement that LICENSOR shall file any patent applications,
secure any patent, or maintain any patent in force. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, LICENSOR shall use its reasonable best efforts to prosecute the
pending patent applications set out in Schedule B hereto. However, LICENSOR
shall have the sole discretion to abandon any application set out in Schedule B
as is, in its opinion, unnecessary to claim fully the inventions disclosed in
such applications;

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

         (d) an obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third

or return to LICENSEE royalties paid or accrued hereunder by LICENSEE and/or any
SUBLICENSEE.

                         ARTICLE 5. TERM AND TERMINATION

         5.01 Unless terminated earlier under Section 5.02 herein, the license
granted to LICENSEE under this Agreement shall extend from the EFFECTIVE DATE to
the date of expiration of the last to expire of the SUBJECT PATENTS.

         5.02 Any provision herein notwithstanding, LICENSEE, with the consent
of SUBLICENSEE (if any), may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving PMC
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. Upon such termination, all
rights of LICENSEE and LICENSOR under this Agreement cease to have force and
effect.

         5.03 Notwithstanding Section 5.02, termination of this Agreement for
any reason shall not release either party hereto from any liability which at the
time of such termination has already accrued to the other party. In the event
this Agreement is terminated for any reason, any sublicense granted by LICENSEE
hereunder shall survive with PMC as licensor and any rights of LICENSEE as
licensor of any such sublicense shall accrue to PMC.

      THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DISPOSED OF OR OFFERED FOR
SALE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THAT ACT COVERING THIS NOTE AND/OR THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION THEREOF, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO SNOW
BECKER KRAUSS P.C.. THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

                                            CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
                                                    (the "Note")

                                               SURGE COMPONENTS, INC.

Principal Sum: $_________________________

Holder: ________________________________

SURGE COMPONENTS, INC., a New York corporation (hereinafter called "Surge" or
the "Corporation"), hereby promises to pay the Principal Sum set forth above
(the "Principal Sum") to the order of the above-referenced holder (the "Holder")
on or before December 31, 2000 subject to earlier conversion as described below.
This Note shall accrue interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum
from and after January 1, 2000. Accrued interest shall be payable on February 1,
2001 and at maturity or on conversion (each, an "interest payment date").
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year.

         1. Issuance. This Note is being issued pursuant to the terms of a Note
Purchase Agreement between the Corporation and the Holder (the "Subscription
Agreement") which contains, among other things, certain representations by the
Holder as to Holder's sophistication as an investor. In addition, the
Subscription Agreement contains certain covenants of the Corporation relating to
the registration of the Common Stock into which this Note may be converted under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

         2. Conversion.

            (a) On the Stockholder Approval Date (as hereinafter defined in
subsection (d)), the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
automatically be converted into shares of Class B Common stock, $0.001 par
value, of the Corporation ("Common Stock") at a conversion price of $3.00 per
share. In the event that shareholder approval is not obtained by either the
Corporation or Global Datatel Inc ("Global") for the proposed acquisition of
assets of Global by the Corporation, or if the Global purchase for any reason is
rescinded, the Corporation will file a proxy no later than April 15,2000 to seek
approval for the preferred stock to convert in to Surge shares of Class A Common
stock, $0.001 par value, of the Corporation ("Class A Common Stock") at a
conversion price of $2.50 per share upon.

            (b) Simultaneously with the issuance of this Note, the Corporation
shall reserve for issuance on conversion of this Note the total number shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note (as such number may be
adjusted from time to time in accordance with (c) below, the "Conversion
Shares"). The Corporation shall use its best reasonable efforts promptly to list
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, all of the Conversion Shares.

            (c) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, or consolidation or
merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or distribution of
the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

proceeds of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets to
another corporation (a "Capital Event") shall be effected, then, as a condition
precedent of such Capital Event, the following provision shall be made: The
Holder of the Note shall, from and after the date of such Capital Event sale
have the right to receive upon conversion (in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of
conversion rights), such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have
been issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares
of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion of the Note
(regardless of whether the Note was actually convertible at such time). In any
such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
interests of the Holders to the end that such conversion rights (including,
without limitation, provisions for appropriate adjustments) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock,
securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Note.

            (d) The Corporation will file with the SEC all documents necessary
to hold a meeting of stockholders within 30 days of this transaction unless the
Corporation is unable to obtain the required financial statements of Global and
its subsidiaries which it does not currently have. Among other things, approval
will be sought for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and such other shares
of Common Stock as may be issuable upon conversion of certain other notes of the
same tenor (collectively, the "SRGE Notes"). The Board of Directors of the
Corporation will recommend that the stockholders of the Corporation vote in
favor of such approval. The date on which such approval is obtained is referred
to herein as the "Stockholder Approval Date."

         3. Issuance of Conversion Shares. The Corporation covenants and agrees
that all Conversion Shares will, upon conversion of the SRGE Notes and issuance
in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         4. Events of Default and Acceleration of the Note.

            (a) An "event of default" with respect to this Note shall exist if
any of the following shall occur:

                (i) The Corporation shall breach or fail to comply with any
provision of this Note and such breach or failure shall continue for fifteen
(15) days after written notice thereof to the Corporation by any Holder of SRGE
Notes.

                (ii) A receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Corporation or of
a substantial part of its properties shall be appointed by court order and such
order shall remain in effect for more than fifteen (15) days; or the Corporation
shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; or a substantial part of the
property of the Corporation shall be sequestered by court order and such order
shall remain in effect for more than fifteen (15) days; or a petition to
reorganize the Corporation under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
law shall be filed against the Corporation and shall not be dismissed within
forty-five (45) days after such filing.

                (iii) The Corporation shall file a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy or request reorganization under any provision of any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency law, or shall consent to the filing of any petition
against it under any such law.

                (iv) The Corporation shall make an assignment for the benefit of
its creditors, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or
liquidator of the Corporation, or of all or any substantial part of its
properties.

            (b) If an event of default referred to in clause (i) shall occur,
the Holder may, in addition to such Holder's other remedies, by written notice
to the Corporation, declare the principal amount of this Note, together with all
interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such
declaration, such amount shall become immediately due and payable and the Holder
shall have all such rights and remedies provided for under the terms of this
Note and the Subscription Agreement. If an event of default referred to in
clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall occur, the principal amount of this Note,
together with all interest accrued thereon, shall become immediately due and
payable and the Holder shall have all such rights and remedies, if any, provided
for under the terms of this Note and the Subscription Agreement.

         5. Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intent of Holder and the
Corporation in the execution of this Note, that the loan evidenced hereby be
exempt from the restrictions of applicable state usury laws. In the event that
for any reason, it should be determined that any such usury law is applicable to
this Note, Holder and the Corporation stipulate and agree that none of the terms
and provisions contained 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 such state. In such event, if the Corporation 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 applicable state law, all such sums shall, at the option of
Holder, be credited to the payment of the sums due hereunder or returned to the
Corporation.

         6. Miscellaneous.

            (a) All notices and other communications required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to
have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by telegram, by
facsimile, recognized overnight mail carrier, telex or other standard form of
telecommunications, or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, addressed as follows: (a) if to the Holder, to such address
as such Holder shall furnish to the Corporation in accordance with this Section,
or (b) if to the Corporation, to it at its headquarters office, or to such other
