          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SURGILIGHT, INC. (the "Borrower"), unconditionally

          (2) On January 15, 2001, $1,000,000.00;

          Section 1. Payments. All payments in respect of this Note shall be
made by wire transfer per the Wire Transfer Instructions attached hereto as
Exhibit 1. Whenever any payment on this Note is stated to be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be made on the next Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest
payable on this Note. "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday
or legal holiday under the laws of the State of California or any other day on
which banking institutions located in such state are authorized or required by
law or other governmental action to close.

          Section 2. Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay the principal of this Note in whole or
in part, without premium or penalty.

          Section 3. Mandatory Prepayments. The outstanding principal amount
under this Note shall be prepaid from the proceeds of any sale, assignment, or
transfer for value of the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge and Security
Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") dated as of the date hereof by and between
Borrower and Lender), except for the proceeds of the sale of inventory in the
ordinary course of business as provided for in Section 7 of the Pledge
Agreement. Not later than the business day after the proceeds are received by
Xxxxxxxx, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender the lesser of (i) the amount of
such proceeds or (ii) the unpaid principal amount under this Note made by the
Lender to the Borrower hereunder and any accrued, unpaid interest thereon.

          Section 4. Interest. In the event that Xxxxxxxx has failed to pay the
full amount of the Original Principal by March 1, 2001, the Borrower promises to
pay, in addition to the unpaid principal, interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from the date on which the Event of Default resulting from
Xxxxxxxx's failure to pay such principal under this Note occurred until paid in
full at a rate equal to ten percent (10.0%) per annum. All computations of
interest shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a 365 day year, for the
actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period (including the first day
but excluding the last day). In no event shall the interest rate payable on this
Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under
applicable law.
