August 3, 2001
Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc., d/b/a Small Town Radio, Inc., a Colorado

order of John F. McMullan ("Holder"), without any abatement, reduction,
diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever, including
without limitation, any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense,
counterclaim or recoupment due or alleged to be due to or by reason of, any
past, present or future claims which Maker may have against Holder, the sum of
U.S.$50,000.00 and any unpaid accrued interest hereon, as set forth below, upon
demand, but no sooner than ninety (90) days after the date set forth above (the
date on which such demand is made, the "Maturity Date"). Payment for all amounts
due hereunder shall be made by mail to the registered address of the Holder, or
if requested in writing by the Holder, by wire transfer in accordance with the
Holder's instructions.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the
conditions to which this Note is subject.
1. Principal, Interest and Grant of Shares. Unless this Note is sooner
paid, the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be
paid in full on the Maturity Date. This Note may be prepaid at any time.
Maker agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this
Note from the Borrowing Date until the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date
an Event of Default occurs, at a rate of eight (8%) per annum accrued and
compounded quarterly.
Maker agrees to issue 500,000 shares of its restricted common stock,
subject to Rule 144, to John F. McMullan.
2. Events of Default. It shall be an event of default (an "Event of
Default") if Borrower shall default in the payment upon demand of the principal
or interest on this Note or any other amounts owing hereunder and such default
shall not have been cured within ten (10) days after written notice.
3. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Holder as provided herein and
in any other documents governing or securing repayment hereof shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together,
at the sole discretion of Holder, may be exercised as often as occasion
therefore shall arise. No act or omission of the Holder, including specifically,
but without limitation, any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse,
shall be effective as a waiver of any right of the Holder hereunder, unless set
forth in a written document executed by the Holder, and then only to the extent
specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to one event
shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a wavier or release of
any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to any subsequent event.
If this Note is collected with the assistance of an attorney, or if it
is collected through any legal proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy,
receivership or other court proceedings, the Maker agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses of collection including, but not limited to, court costs and
the reasonable fees and expenses of any attorney employed by the Holder hereof.
