     Advances, readvances and payment under this Note may, at the option of the
Lender, be recorded on this Note or by deposits and withdrawals from an account
maintained by the Borrower on deposit with the Lender or under the control of
the Lender, either of which will be prima facie evidence of such advances,
payments and the unpaid balance of this Note.

     The Borrower will have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay the unpaid principal balance of this Note in whole or in part without
penalty, but with interest on the unpaid principal balance accrued to the date
of prepayment.

     The Borrower agrees that if, and as often as, this Note is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of the Lender's
rights under this Note or otherwise relating to the indebtedness hereby
evidence, the Borrower will pay the Lender's reasonable attorney's fees, all
court costs and all other expenses incurred by the lender in connection
therewith.

     This Note is issued by the Borrower and accepted by the Lender pursuant to
a lending transaction negotiated, consummated and to be performed in Los
Angeles, California.  This Note is to be construed according to the internal
laws of the State of California.  All actions with respect to this Note or any
other instrument securing payment of this Note will be instituted in a state or
federal court sitting in Los Angeles Count, California subject to the provisions

unconditionality submits to the jurisdiction (both subject matter and personal)
of each such court and irrevocably and unconditionally waives: (a) any objection
the Borrower might now or hereafter have to the venue in any such court, and (b)
any claim that any action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.

     This Note is intended to strictly conform with all usury laws to the extent
applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.  The provisions of this Note
and of all agreements between the Borrower and the Lender are hereby expressly

maximum rate permitted by law therefor.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever,
performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between
the Borrower and the Lender shall, at the time of the execution and delivery
thereof, or at the time or performance of such provision shall be due, involve
or purport to require any payment in excess of the limits prescribed by law, the

or new document.

     Lender and Borrower agree that all disputes, claims and controversies
between the, whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this
Note or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes,
shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association, upon request of either party, in the County of Los Angeles, State

entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The statute of limitations, estoppel,
waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an
action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and
the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement
of an action for these purposes.

     It is understood and agreed that the Borrower is a designated series of a
Delaware limited liability company, having separate rights, powers or duties
with respect to specified property or obligations of said limited liability
company, and pursuant to Section 18-215(b) of the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Act, and the limited liability company agreement of the Borrower, the
debts, liabilities and obligations represented by this Note shall be enforceable

Borrower generally or any other series thereof.

     If any amount of principal is unpaid as of July 25, 2005, then the Company
may, at its sole discretion, cancel the commensurate number of common shares
purchased by Borrower pursuant to the Subscription Agreement between Borrower
and Lender of even date.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this instrument effective the
date first above written.

     (h)  If the Subscriber is a corporation or a partnership, syndicate or

          created solely, nor is it being used primarily, to permit purchases
          without a prospectus under securities legislation exemptions that

     (i)  The Subscriber is purchasing Subscribed Shares for investment only and
          not with a view to resale or distribution.
