respectively, of Common Stock pursuant to the Option. Messrs.
Epple and Edwards each pledged their shares of Common Stock
as collateral for such loan. As a result of the foregoing,
under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13d-3(d)(3),
Mr. Ellenburg and Ms. Tomczak may be deemed to be the
beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock owned by
Messrs. Epple and Edwards.
Mr. Ellenburg and Ms. Tomczak disclaim beneficial ownership
of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Messrs.

6
<PAGE> 7

2
<PAGE> 3
5. Security. This Note is secured by a first priority Stock
Pledge Agreement executed by Makers pledging all of their stock of Radius, Inc.
(referred to herein as the "Stock Pledge Agreement").
6. Events of Default and Remedies.
a. Any one of the following occurrences shall constitute
an "Event of Default" under this Note:
i. Makers' failure to pay any installment of
interest, principal or interest and principal on the date due of such
payment;
ii. Makers' breach of any of their other
covenants and agreements hereunder; or
iii. The occurrence of any Event of Default or
material breach under the Stock Pledge Agreement.
b. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
this Note:
i. The entire unpaid principal balance, any
accrued but unpaid interest and all other amounts owing under this
Note and all other sums owing under the Stock Pledge Agreement shall,
at the option of Payees of this Note and without notice or demand of
any kind to Makers or any other person, immediately become due and
payable; and
ii. Payees shall have and may exercise any and
all rights and remedies available at law or in equity and also any and
all rights and remedies provided in the Stock Pledge Agreement.
The remedies of Payees, as provided in this Note and in the
Stock Pledge Agreement, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be exercised
singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Payees, and may
be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act or omission or
commission of Payees, including specifically any failure to exercise any right,
remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of any right,
remedy or recourse, such waiver or release to be effected only through a
written document executed by Payees. A waiver or release with reference to any
one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or
release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.
7. Legal Limits. All agreements between Makers and Payees are
hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of
deferment in accordance with this Note or under any agreement or by virtue of
acceleration or maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or otherwise,
shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Payees hereof, for the loan,
use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under this Note or to
compensate Payees for damages to be suffered by reason of a late payment or
default under this
3
<PAGE> 4
Note exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. If, for any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Note or any
provision in the Stock Pledge Agreement at the time the performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity
prescribed by law, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced
to the limit of such validity. This provision shall never be superseded or
waived and shall control every other provision of all agreements among Makers
and Payees.
8. Limited Recourse. Makers shall be personally liable for the
principal balance hereof only to the extent the sums recovered by Payees
pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement and any foreclosure thereunder is less
than the sum of (a) Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000) and all accrued but
unpaid interest then owed hereunder. By way of example, in the event Makers
default hereunder, if Payees realize, pursuant to a foreclosure sale of all of
Makers' stock in Radius, Inc. under the Stock Pledge Agreement, net of the
foreclosure costs (including attorneys fees pursuant to paragraph 9 below), the
sum of One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000), and if at the date of
such foreclosure sale, there is accrued but unpaid interest of Twenty-Two
Thousand Dollars ($22,000) owed upon this Note, then Makers shall have no
further obligation or indebtedness to Payees. By way of further example, if
Payees realize, pursuant to a foreclosure sale of all of Makers' stock in
Radius, Inc. under the Stock Pledge Agreement, net of the foreclosure costs,
the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), and if at the date of such
foreclosure sale, there is accrued but unpaid interest of Twenty-Two Thousand
Dollars ($22,000) owed upon this Note, then such proceeds would be applied
first to the accrued interest, and the remainder ($78,000) to principal and
Makers would remain personally liable to Payees for Twelve Thousand Dollars
($12,000).
9. Attorneys' Fees. Should an Event of Default occur under this
Note, Makers agree to pay a reasonable sum to Payee for attorneys' fees
incurred in collecting the sums due hereunder and enforcing the rights and
remedies of Payee under this Note and under the Stock Pledge Agreement. If any
action is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Note, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees.
10. Governing Law and Severability. This Note and the Stock
Pledge Agreement are made pursuant to and shall be construed and governed by
the laws of the State of Florida (which is the state in which Makers maintain
their principal residence) and all rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. If any provision of this Note or of the Stock Pledge Agreement is
construed or interpreted by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void,
invalid or unenforceable, such decision shall affect only those provisions so
construed or interpreted and shall not affect the remaining provisions of this
Note or of the Stock Pledge Agreement.
11. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Note.
12. Payment Without Offset. Principal and interest shall be paid
without deduction or offset in lawful money of the United States of America.
13. Notices. Any notice, report or writing required or permitted
to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served by delivering the
same personally either to the other party, or by depositing the notice,
contained in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid, in any mailbox
4
<PAGE> 5

mail into said System, as registered or certified mail, with return receipt

Any party hereto may change its address for the purposes of this paragraph by
giving such other party notice, as provided for herein, of the new address.
14. Assignment. Payees may assign all or any portion of their
rights, title or interest in this Note to any person, firm, corporation,
partnership or other entity without the consent of Makers.
15. Waiver. Makers, each for himself, and his successors,
transferees and assigns and al guarantors, endorsers and signers, hereby waive
all valuation and appraisement privilege, presentment and demand for payment,
protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, dishonor and notice of dishonor,
bringing of suit, lack of diligence or delays in collection or enforcement of
this Note and notice of the intention to accelerate, the release of any party
liable and the release of any security for the debt, the taking of any
additional security and any other indulgence or forbearance. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 8, Makers and their guarantors, successors, transferees
and assigns shall be jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable for
the amount of all sums owing and to be owed hereon, and each agrees that this
Note and any and all payments coming due hereunder may be extended or renewed
from time to time without in any way affecting or diminishing his liability
under this Note.
16. Headings. The subject headings or titles of paragraphs of
this Note are included for purposes of convenience and reference only and shall
not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.
17. Waiver of Jury Trial. MAKERS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY
AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION
BASED UPON THIS NOTE AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN

to execute, on Pledgors' behalf all documents required in connection therewith,
including but not limited to any Assignment Separate From Certificate, or any

of protest, or notice of dishonor, or advertisement, any such demand or
advertisement being expressly waived. Pledgees shall give Pledgors, and each

Stock Pledge Agreement; fourth, to pay, satisfy and discharge the duties and
obligations of Pledgors pursuant to any Stock Pledge Agreement hereafter
executed by Pledgors with Pledgees' consent, junior to this Stock Pledge

5. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF PLEDGEES. Pledgees specifically and
expressly reserve the right and remedy to disregard the security hereof, and to
sue on the principal obligation secured hereby, and expressly declare that
their remedies upon this Stock Pledge Agreement, to cause the sale of the
collateral at public or private sale in the manner as hereinabove set forth, or
to bring an action of foreclosure and have the Collateral sold at judicial
sale, are cumulative, and in addition to all other remedies that they may

subscribe, cash dividends, liquidating dividends, stock dividends, dividends
paid in stock, new securities, or other property, which Pledgors may hereafter
become entitled to receive on account of the Collateral, shall be and become a
part of the Collateral, and in the event that Pledgors shall receive any such,
they represent, warrant, covenant and agree that they will immediately deliver
it to the Pledge Holder to be held by it in the same manner as the Collateral
originally pledged hereunder.
7. INDEMNITY. In case of any adverse claims in respect to the
Collateral or any portions thereof, arising out of any act done or suffered by
Pledgors, the Pledgors promise and agree to hold harmless and to indemnify
Pledge Holder and Pledgees from and against any losses, liabilities, damages,
expenses, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in or about defending,
protecting, or prosecuting the security interests hereby created.
8. ADVANCES TO PROTECT COLLATERAL. Pledgors agree to pay, prior
to delinquency, all taxes, liens and assessments against the Collateral, and
upon their failure to do so, Pledgees, at their option, may pay any of them,
and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount
necessary to discharge same, and Pledgors' failure to pay same shall be a
default hereunder and the sums so advanced shall be due and payable to Pledgees
