California  corporation  ("OIS"),  promises  to pay to the  order of  MediVision

sum of one million five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) (the "Line of Credit"), or

interest and the remainder, if any, to unpaid principal hereunder.

OIS may borrow,  repay and  reborrow the Loans for a period of  thirty-six  (36)

         6. Conversion into OIS Common Stock.

            (a) The  MediVision  shall have the right from and after the date of
issuance of this Note and then at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, and
until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding  and unpaid  principal
portion of this Note and, at the MediVision's  election,  the accrued and unpaid
interest thereon (the date of delivery to OIS of a notice


                                       2
<PAGE>

requesting   conversion   being  a  "Conversion   Date")  into  fully  paid  and
nonassessable  shares of Common  Stock,  without par value,  of OIS ("OIS Common
Stock") as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares
of capital  stock of OIS into which such  stock  shall  hereafter  be changed or
reclassified  (the "OIS  Common  Stock") at the  conversion  price as defined in
Section 6(b) hereof (the  "Conversion  Price"),  determined as provided  herein.
Upon the  delivery  of this Note to OIS,  accompanied,  preceded  or followed by
notice  from the  MediVision  to OIS of the  MediVision's  written  request  for
conversion,  OIS shall  issue and  deliver  to the  MediVision  within  ten (10)
business days from the Conversion Date that number of shares of OIS Common Stock
for the  portion  of the Note and  interest  converted  in  accordance  with the
foregoing  and a new Note in the form  hereof for the  balance of the  principal
amount hereof,  and/or interest if any. The number of shares of OIS Common Stock
to be issued upon each  conversion  of this Note shall be determined by dividing
that portion of the principal of and interest on the Note to be converted by the
Conversion Price.

            (b) The Conversion Price per share shall be $0.80.

            (c) The  Conversion  Price  and  number  and kind of shares or other
securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Sections 6(a) and
6(b),  shall be subject to  adjustment  from time to time upon the  happening of
certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

               A.  Merger,  Sale  of  Assets,  etc.  If OIS at  any  time  shall
consolidate  with or merge into or sell or convey all or  substantially  all its
assets to any other  corporation,  the Note, as to the unpaid principal  portion
thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the
right to  purchase  such  number  and kind of  shares  or other  securities  and
property  as would  have been  issuable  or  distributable  on  account  of such
consolidation,  merger,  sale  or  conveyance,  upon  or  with  respect  to  the
securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such
consolidation,  merger,  sale  or  conveyance.  The  foregoing  provision  shall
similarly  apply to  successive  transactions  of a  similar  nature by any such
successor or purchaser.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the
anti-dilution  provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

               B.   Reclassification,   etc.  If  OIS  at  any  time  shall,  by
reclassification  or  otherwise,  change the OIS Common Stock into the same or a
different  number of  securities  of any class or classes,  this Note, as to the
unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon,  shall thereafter
be deemed to evidence the right to purchase  such number and kind of  securities
as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the OIS
Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

               C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of OIS
Common  Stock are  subdivided  or combined  into a greater or smaller  number of
shares of OIS Common Stock,  or if a dividend is paid on the OIS Common Stock in
shares of OIS  Common  Stock,  the  Conversion  Price  shall be  proportionately
reduced in case of subdivision  of shares or stock  dividend or  proportionately
increased in the case of combination  of shares,  in each such case by the ratio
which the total  number of shares of OIS Common  Stock  outstanding  immediately
after  such  event  bears to the total  number of  shares  of OIS  Common  Stock
outstanding

                                       3
<PAGE>

immediately prior to such event.

            (d) During the period the conversion right exists,  OIS will reserve
from its authorized and unissued OIS Common Stock a sufficient  number of shares
to provide for the issuance of OIS Common Stock upon the full conversion of this
Note.  OIS represents  that upon issuance,  such shares will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. OIS agrees that its issuance of this Note
shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who
are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute
and issue the  necessary  certificates  for shares of OIS Common  Stock upon the
conversion of this Note.

            (e) OIS shall give not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice
to the MediVision of any change in the Conversion  Price under this Note and the
method of calculation thereof.

            (f) OIS will not, by amendment of its Articles of  Incorporation  or
through  any  reorganization,   transfer  of  assets,   consolidation,   merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the  observance or  performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed  hereunder by OIS but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the  provisions  of this  Agreement and in the taking of all
such  actions  as may be  necessary  or  appropriate  in  order to  protect  the
conversion rights of the MediVision.

         7.  Governing  Law.  This Note shall be governed  by, and  construed in
accordance  with,  the laws of the State of  California,  without  regard to its
rules on conflicts of laws or choice of law.
