                        SECURED DEMAND PROMISSORY NOTE


$650,000                                               New York, New York

                                                         January 10, 1992


     ON DEMAND, the undersigned (the "Borrower") hereby promises to pay to the
order of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (the "Bank") the principle
amount of six-hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($650,000) and to pay interest
on the unpaid principle amount hereof from time to time outstanding from the
date hereof until paid in full.

(Check one) _____________ at the rate of ________________% per annum ______ at a
fluctuating rate per annum equal to ______% above the Prime Rate (which
presently is _____%) in effect from time to time, but subject to any limitations
on the rate of interest imposed by applicable law. The term "Prime Rate" as used
herein, shall mean the rate of interest publicly announced by the Bank in New
York City from time to time as its Prime Rate.

     Interest on the principle amount hereof outstanding during each calendar
month shall be payable monthly in arrears on the ______ day of each month, and
upon payment in full.  Principle and interest shall be payable in lawful money
of the United States of America at the offices of the Bank at 23 Wall Street,
New York, New York 10015.

     To secure payment of this Note, and of any other liability or liabilities
of the Borrower to the holder hereof, due or to become due, or that may
hereafter be contracted or existing, howsoever acquired by the holder, the
Borrower has transferred, pledged, given a security interest in and delivered to
the Bank the following property:

     60,000 shares of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc Stock and any deposit or other
sums at any time credited by or due from the holder to the Borrower and any
securities or other property of the Borrower in the possession of the holder
hereafter called "Collateral".

     In case of decline in the market value of the Collateral or any part
thereof, the holder may demand that additional Collateral of quality and value
satisfactory to it be delivered, pledged, and transferred to it, and that the
Borrower create a security interest in the additionally delivered Collateral in
favor of the holder.

     Upon the nonpayment of principle or interest when due hereunder, or upon
nonpayment of any other liability of the Borrower to the holder when due, or if
the holder deems the Collateral to be insufficient by reason of the decline in
the market value of any of the Collateral, the holder shall have the rights and
remedies provided in the Uniform Commercial Code in force in New York at the
date of execution of this Note and in addition to, in substitution for, in
modification of, or in conjunction with those rights and remedies, provided in
the Uniform Commercial Code in force in New York at the date of execution of
this Note and in addition to, in substitution for, in modification of. Or in
conjunction with those rights and remedies, the holder or its agents may, in its
discretion, __________, assign and deliver all or any part of the Collateral at
any brokers' board or at public or private sale ________ out notice or
advertisement, and _____________ become purchasers at any public sale or at any
broker's board, and, if notice to the Borrower is required by law, give written
notice to the Borrower five days prior to the date of public sale of the
Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will
be made by mailing such notice to the address designated by the Borrower with
his signature below; and, if the Collateral includes
<PAGE>

insurance policies with a cash surrender value, securities, instruments, or
documents which will be redeemed by the issuer upon surrender, the holder may
realize upon such Collateral without notice to the Borrower. The Borrower agrees
that the proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral may be applied by the
holder to the satisfaction of the liabilities of the Borrower to the holder in
any order of preference which the holder, in its sole discretion, chooses, and
that the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower for any deficiency
remaining with interest thereon. The waiver of any default, or the remedying of
any default in a reasonable manner, shall not operate as a waiver of the default
remedies or any other prior or subsequent default.

     The holder shall have no duty with reference to the Collateral except to
use reasonable care in its custody and preservation, which shall not include any
steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties nor the duty to send
notices, perform services, or take any action in connection with the management
of the Collateral. The holder may at any time transfer the Collateral to its own
name or the name of one of its nominees and may at any time demand, sue for,
collect or make any compromise or settlement with reference to the Collateral as
the holder in its sole discretion chooses. The holder may remove the Collateral
or any part of it from the state or country in which it may at any time be held
to any other state or country, and may there deal with it as provided in this
Note.

     If any of the Collateral is released to the Borrower, the Borrower agrees
to execute whatever financing or other statements and security agreements or
trust receipts are required to continue the holder's security interest in the
Collateral.

     If this Note is not paid in full upon demand, the Borrower agrees to pay
all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

     Each and every party to this Note, either as a maker, endorser, guarantor,
accommodation party, or otherwise, hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor
and protest with respect to this Note, and assents to any extension or
postponement of the time of payment or other indulgence and to any substitution,
exchange or release of Collateral granted or permitted by the holder.

     Should the Bank negotiate or assign this Note, it may deliver the property
held as Collateral or any part of it to the transferee, who shall thereupon
become the holder and the Bank shall thereafter be fully discharged from any
responsibility with respect to that Collateral.

     The undersigned, if more than one, shall be jointly and severally liable
hereunder and the term "Borrower" shall mean the undersigned or any one or more
of them and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns.

     The Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time,
without penalty or premium, to repay all or part of the unpaid balance of this
Note.

     This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York.
