        any of the Clinics. 

	 
	 5.02      	 By Purchaser 

	 
	 	 The Purchaser undertakes, represents and
        warrants to the Vendor that: 

	 
	 	 (a)     
      
	 The Purchaser acknowledges that its principal member,
        Dr. Steven Mertz, has been overseeing the operations of the business on
        behalf of the Vendor and as such is fully aware of the state of condition,
        both financial and operationally, of the Clinics. As such, he has in depth
        knowledge of all facets of the operations of the Clinics and is purchasing
        the Clinics on an “as is’ condition. 

	 
	 	 (b)     
      
	 The Purchaser also acknowledges that it is aware
        that some or all of the Chiropractors who practice at the Clinics are
        currently not under contract. In the event they are under contract, the
        Vendor agrees to assign such contracts to the Purchaser on the Closing
        Date. 

	 
	 	 (c)     
      
	 Payment of Liabilities Incurred before and
        after Effective Date 

	 
	 	 	 Following Transition Period the Purchaser shall
        be responsible for all debts, claims and other liabilities or obligations
        incurred in or arising from the operation of the Clinics as well as the
        Assumed Liabilities. 

	 
	 	 (d)     
      
	 Profit sharing contributions and bonuses for Chiropractors
        practicing at the Clinics that arise from collection of accounts receivable
        generated prior to the expiry of the Transition Period, but collected
        after the Transition Period, shall be the responsibility of Purchaser

	 $ 824,506.90  	 Lake Charles, Louisiana  
	  	 December 31st , 2004  

                FOR
  VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, LSI GROUP, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability
  company, or assignee, (the “Maker”), promises to pay to Chiropractic
  USA, Inc., a Colorado corporation (together with its permitted successors and
  assigns, the “Payee”), in the manner and at the place hereinafter
  provided, the principal amount of $824,506.90. Such sum will be payable
  in accordance with Section 1 of this Promissory Note (this “Note”).

                The
  Maker also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note
  from September 1st, 2005 and from such other dates as set forth in
  this Note until paid in full at the interest rate of 5.0% per year. Principal
  and Interest will be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month
  commencing on September 1st, 2005 (the “Payment Date”).
  Principal and interest amounts will be paid in one hundred and twenty (120)
  equal monthly installments on the Payment Date.

                This
  Note is issued pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of that Sale
  and Purchase of Assets Agreement dated as of December 31st, 2004
  to which Maker and Payee are parties (the “Agreement”). Terms
  not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement.

 ARTICLE 1

  TERMS OF REPAYMENT

                1.1               
  Payment. Each monthly installment of principal and interest
  in this Note is due and payable on the Payment Date. Any payment under this
  Note will first be credited against costs, fees and expenses provided for hereunder,
  second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, and the remainder will
  be credited against principal. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable in
  legal tender of the United States of America, by check delivered to the Payee
  on or before each of the Payment Dates; provided that any payment postmarked
  at least three business days prior to its due date shall be deemed to be timely
  made. If a payment hereunder otherwise would become due and payable on a Saturday,
  Sunday or legal holiday, the due date thereof will be extended to the next succeeding
  business day, and interest will be payable thereon during such extension. 

                1.2               
  Prepayments. The Maker may prepay this Note in whole or
  in part at any time without penalty with interest to the date of payment. If
  this Note is prepaid, there is to be no discount from the obligation to pay
  the full principal balance due at the time of prepayment.

                1.3               
  Maximum Rate of Interest. In no event will the interest
  rate payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be
  charged under applicable law. If any holder of this Note collects monies which
  are deemed to constitute interest which would 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 any applicable jurisdiction, all such sums deemed to constitute
  interest in excess of such maximum rate shall be credited to the payment of
  the principal amount due hereunder or, to the extent such sums exceed the principal
  balance then outstanding, returned to the Maker. 

                1.4               
  Offset. Offset may not be made against this Note for the breach
  of any provision of the Agreement or any other document, or for any damages
  that may be incurred by Maker or any other party.

                               2.1.4

 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part
  of Payee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder will operate
  as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
  preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
  right. Any agreement by Payee to any extension or waiver of any provision of
  this Note will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed
  on behalf of Maker and Payee. A waiver by a Payee of the performance of any
  covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty will
  not be construed as a waiver of any other covenant, agreement, obligation, condition,
  representation or warranty. A waiver by Payee of the performance of any act
  will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical
  act required to be performed at a later time. All rights, powers and remedies
  of Payee in connection with this Note are cumulative and not exclusive, and
  will be in addition to any other rights, powers or remedies provided by law
  or equity. 

                3.3               
  Severability. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited
  or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
  to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
  remaining provisions of this Note, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
  in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
  in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, the Maker waives
  any provision of law which renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable
  in any respect.

        on such terms as to credit and with such conditions of sale and stipulations
        as to title or conveyance or evidence of title or otherwise as to the
        Secured Party may seem reasonable, provided that if any sale is on credit
        the Debtor will not be entitled to be credited with the proceeds of any

        received. 

 8.03               
  Receiver - A Receiver appointed pursuant to this Security Agreement
  shall be the agent of the Debtor and not of the Secured Party and, to the extent

  have all the powers of the Secured Party hereunder, and in addition shall have
  power to carry on the business of the Debtor and for such purpose from time
  to time to borrow money either secured or unsecured, and if secured by a security
  interest on any of the Collateral; such security interest may rank before or
  pari passu with or behind any secured interest created by this Security Agreement,
  and if it does not so specify such security interest shall rank before the security
  interests created by this Security Agreement. 

 8.04               
  Distribution of Value of Collateral - Subject to the claims, if
  any, of the creditors of the Debtor ranking in priority to this Security Agreement,

	 the appointment of the Receiver and the exercise
        by the Receiver of all or any of the powers granted to it pursuant to

	 in or toward payment to the Secured Party
        of all interest remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations.
