NOTES
CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
U.S. $_______________ December 19th, 0000 Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NuOasis Gaming Inc., a corporation organized under
the laws of the United States, State of Delaware, with its principal place of
business in California ("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to , a former
shareholder of National Pools Corporation, a California corporation ("Payee"or
"Holder") the principal sum of ______________________ $( ) with principal and
accrued interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum due and payable on
May 31, 1999 (the "Due Date"). This Convertible Secured Promissory Note (the
"Note") is issued by Maker pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement of even date
(the "Purchase Agreement").
To secure the payment of this Note, Maker hereby grants to the Holder
pursuant to a Security Agreement dated of even date between Maker and Holder a
security interest in the personal property set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto (the
"Collateral"). Upon default, the Holder may resort to any remedy against the
Collateral available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary this Note is non-recourse and Holder's sole remedy shall be against the
Collateral.
All documents and instruments now or hereafter evidencing and/or
securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any part thereof, including but
not limited to this Note and the Security Agreement of even date, are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Security Documents."
All agreements in this Note and all other Security Documents are
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or
otherwise, shall the amount agreed to be paid hereunder for the use, forbearance
or detention of money exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable
usury laws. If, for any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of
this Note or any other Security Document at the time performance of such
[NUOGAM\AGR:NPCPNO.STK]
A-1
provision shall be due shall involve exceeding any usury limit prescribed by law
which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso
facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to allow compliance with
such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Payee shall ever receive
as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of
such excess shall be deemed a mistake and shall be canceled automatically or, if
theretofore paid, such excess shall be credited against the principal amount of
the indebtedness evidenced hereby to which the same may lawfully be credited,
and any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be
refunded immediately to Maker.
Maker shall pay to Payee all reasonable costs, expenses, charges,
disbursements and attorneys' fees incurred by Payee following an Event of
Default in collecting, enforcing or protecting this Note or any other Security
Document, whether incurred in or out of court, including appeals and bankruptcy
proceedings.

agrees to pay the net proceeds of such financing to Payee to the extent of the
principal balance of the Note, and all accrued and unpaid interest, before
distributing any of such financing proceeds for other purposes.
Conversion Features of the Note
This Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the
Maker's common stock as hereinafter provided.
NPC's financial position shall be audited every year for the next ten
(10) years for the twelve months ending December 31, beginning with the year
ending December 31, 1997. The audit shall be performed by an internationally
recognized independent public accounting firm. Said audit shall be completed as
soon as possible under the circumstances. Following completion of the audit the
conversion features of this Note shall be activated.
For the year ending December 31, 1997. At any time during the 15 days
following the release of audited year end financial statements by NPC, Maker
shall notify each Noteholder of the option to convert all or part of the
principal amount of the Note into shares of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock
based upon the following formula. "For every $250,000 of net operating income
reported by NPC under generally accepted accounting principles after Closing,
$7,500 in principal amount of the Notes may be converted into 1,511,875 shares
of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock (the "Conversion Formula"). All Noteholders
as a group shall have the option but not the obligation, to convert all or part
of their Notes in accordance with the Conversion Formula. Within 20 days after
receiving notice, any Noteholder desiring to convert all or part of the
principal amount of his or her Note, shall deliver to the secretary of Maker a
written election to convert to shares of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock based
upon the Conversion Formula. If the total amount specified in the elections by
Noteholders exceeds the amount available under the Conversion Formula, then each
Noteholder shall have priority, up to the dollar amount of principal specified
[NUOGAM\AGR:NPCPNO.STK]
A-2
in his or her notice of election, to convert into shares of Maker's (restricted)
Common Stock, in the same proportion that the amount of principal, that he or
she holds, bears to the total amount of principal eligible for conversion under
the Conversion Formula. Any eligible principal not converted on such a priority
basis shall be allocated in one or more successive allocations to those
Noteholders electing to convert more than the principal amount to which they
have a priority right, up to the amount of principal specified in their
respective notices, in the proportion that the amount of principal held by each
of them bears to the outstanding principal held by all of them. Further, if
Maker has adequate cash reserves, (i.e., more than $1,500,000 in cash) a
Noteholder can request payment in full instead of exercising the option to
convert or waiting for the Note to mature on May 31, 1999.
For the year ending December 31, 1998. At any time during the 15 days
following the release of audited year end financial statements by NPC, Maker
shall notify each Noteholder of the option to convert all or part of the
principal amount of the Note into shares of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock
based upon the following formula. "For every $250,000 of net operating income
reported by NPC under generally accepted accounting principles after Closing,
$7,500 in principal amount of the Notes may be converted into 1,511,875 shares
of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock." (the "Conversion Formula"). All
Noteholders as a group shall have the option but not the obligation, to convert
all or part of their Notes in accordance with the Conversion Formula. Within 20
days after receiving notice, any Noteholder desiring to convert all or part of
the principal amount of his or her Note, shall deliver to the Secretary of Maker
a written election to convert to shares of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock
based upon the Conversion Formula. If the total amount specified in the
elections by Noteholders exceeds the amount available under the Conversion
Formula, then each Noteholder shall have priority, up to the dollar amount of
principal specified in his or her notice of election, to convert to shares of
Maker's (restricted) Common Stock, in the same proportion that the amount of
principal, that he or she holds, bears to the total amount of principal eligible
for conversion under the Conversion Formula. Any eligible principal not
converted on such a priority basis shall be allocated in one or more successive
allocations to those Noteholders electing to convert more than the principal
amount to which they have a priority right, up to the amount of principal
specified in their respective notices, in the proportion that the amount of
principal held by each of them bears to the outstanding principal held by all of
them.
For the years ending December 31, 1999 through 2002. Any principal on
the Note outstanding as of May 31,1999, at the election of the Noteholder shall
be paid in full by Maker or be placed into an earn out pool. The earn out pool
shall be created upon the surrender of the Note to the Company and in lieu of
payment. The earn out pool shall exist until the completion of the annual audit
of NPC for the year ending December 31, 2002 or full conversion of all Note
principal in accordance with the Conversion Formula, i.e. for every $250,000 of
net operating income reported by NPC under generally accepted accounting
principles after Closing, $7,500 in principal amount of the Notes may be
converted into 1,511,875 shares of Maker's (restricted) Common Stock. Each
Noteholder shall participate in conversion based upon the proportion that the
amount of principal held by each of them in the earn out pool bears to the
outstanding principal held by all of them in the earn out pool.

Security Document, or under the terms of any other obligation of Maker to Payee
hereunder, within thirty (30) days following the date the same is due; (b) if
default is made in the performance of any other promise or obligation described

information provided to Payee in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement.

thirty (30) days after notice of such default is given by Payee or at any time
thereafter when any Event of Default may continue, Payee may, at its option and
in its sole discretion, declare the entire balance of this Note to be
immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration all sums outstanding and
unpaid under this Note shall become and be in default, matured and immediately
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to
Maker or any other person, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything in
this Note or any other Security Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Payee and Maker hereby agree to trial by court and irrevocably agree to
waive jury trial in any action or proceeding (including but not limited to any
counterclaim) arising out of or in any way related to or connected with this
Note or any other Security Document, the relationship created thereby, or the
origination, administration or enforcement of the indebtedness evidenced and/or
secured by this Note or any other Security Document.
This Note has been delivered to Payee and accepted by Payee in the
State of California, and shall be governed and construed generally according to
the laws of said State except to the extent that creation, validity, perfection

governed by the laws of another jurisdiction. Venue of any action brought

venue in any such court and to the service of process issued by such court and
agrees that each may be served by any method of process described in the State
of California or United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Maker and Payee
each waives the right to claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum or
any similar defense.
If, in any jurisdiction, any provision of this Note shall, for any
reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such
holding shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, and this Note shall
be construed, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
(and only to such extent) as if any such provision had never been contained
herein. Any such holding of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one
jurisdiction shall not prevent valid enforcement of any affected provision if
allowed under the laws of another relevant jurisdiction.
No waiver by the holder of any payment or other right under this Note
shall operate as a waiver of any other payment or right.
In the event Maker incurs any liability as a result of the breach of
any representations (or omission to state any material facts) made (or omitted)
by Payee or National Pools Corporation pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
Maker's exclusive remedy shall be to offset against all sums due hereunder such
amounts it may deem necessary to fully indemnify it from any such liabilities.

of the Company."

business matters in general, and investments in particular, the Undersigned is
capable of evaluating the merits and bearing the economic risks of an investment
in the Note and fully understands the speculative nature of the Note and the
possibility of loss of the Undersigned's entire investment in the securities
used to acquire the Note.
