         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM 1984-1, L.P.,
a Georgia limited partnership with a principal office in Los Angeles, California
(the "Maker"), does hereby promise to pay to the order of THE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF BOSTON, a national banking association, with its principal place of
business at 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (the "Bank") on
December 31, 1997, the principal sum of ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED FORTY-TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED FOURTEEN DOLLARS ($1,942,814) (the "Term Loan Principal")
and promises to pay daily interest thereon from the date hereof, computed as
provided in the Loan Agreement (as defined below) on the Term Loan Principal
from time to time unpaid on the dates and at the rates specified in the Loan
Agreement (as defined below). The Term Loan Principal is prepayable in the
amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined
below).

         All Term Loan Principal and interest hereunder are payable in lawful
money of the United States of America at the office of the Bank at the address
shown above in immediately available funds.

         The maker of this Note for itself and its legal representatives,
successors and assigns, hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, protest,
notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity,
diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption under 




                                      -1-
   7
the homestead exemption laws, if any, or any other exemption or insolvency laws,
and consents that the Bank may release or surrender, exchange or substitute any
personal property or other collateral security now held or which may hereafter
be held as security for the payment of this Note, and may extend the time for
payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of any part or the whole of the
debt evidenced hereby.

         This Note is the Revolving Credit and Term Note referred to in and is
entitled to the benefits of the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement made as
of April 10, 1985, as from time to time in effect, between the Maker and the
Bank, as assignee of Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank, including the
exhibits thereto (the "Loan Agreement"), and is also entitled to the benefits of
all other instruments evidencing and/or securing the indebtedness hereunder. The
occurrence or existence of an "Event of Default" as defined in the Loan
Agreement or in any other instruments securing and/or evidencing this
indebtedness shall constitute a default under this Note and shall entitle the
Bank to accelerate the entire indebtedness hereunder and take such other action
as may be provided for in the said agreements.

         This Note may be voluntarily prepaid in accordance with the terms and
provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement, and reference is made thereto for
rights as to the prepayment hereof.

         All agreements between the Maker and the Bank are hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness or otherwise, shall the amount paid
or agreed to be paid to the Bank for the use, forbearance or detention of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable
law. If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof
or of the Loan Agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be
due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then,
ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such
validity, and if from any circumstance the Bank should ever receive as interest
an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance
evidenced 


   8
hereby and not to the payment of interest. As used herein, the term "applicable
law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided, however, that
in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible
rate of interest, then this Note shall be governed by such new law as of its
effective date. This provision shall control every other provision of all
agreements between the Maker and the Bank.

         This Note and all transactions hereunder and/or evidenced herein shall
be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

         If this Note shall not be paid when due and shall be placed by the
holder hereof in the hands of any attorney for collection, through legal
proceedings or otherwise, the Maker will pay a reasonable attorney's fee to the
holder hereof together with reasonable costs and expenses of collection.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Maker has caused this Note to be executed by
its duly authorized partner as of the date first above written.
