RECITALS

The Payee is willing to lend the Company Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000 USD) in exchange for 25,000 Convertible and Callable Series B Preferred Shares in the Company, a security interest in a specialized tooling mold, interest of $1,250 per quarter and a payment penalty of $5,000 if the loan is paid-off in twelve months or less. This Note is assignable provided the assignee agrees to the same terms in paying-off the Payee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained in this agreement, the parties agree, represent and warrant as follows:

The above recitals are true, correct and incorporated herein by reference.

1.                  Terms

(A)             ATVRockN would pay interest only quarterly payments of 20% which is $1,250 per quarter or total of $5,000 per year. The interest payments of $1,250 per quarter continue until the note is paid-in-full. The first interest payment is due August 31, 2011.

(B)              There is a prepayment penalty of 1 year, meaning that if ATV RockN decides to pay-off the loan before a period of 12 months, then ATVRockN would have to buy back the 25,000 preferred shares and security interest in the tooling mold for $30,000 and still pay the Payee the balance of interest left on the 1 year period.

(C)              It is the intent of the Payee and the Payor in the execution of this Note that the loan evidenced hereby comply with the restrictions of applicable state usury laws. If, for any reason, it should be determined that any usury law is applicable (which the parties do not believe to be the case), the Payor and the Payee stipulate and agree that (i) the interest (or any other consideration pursuant to this Note) pursuant to this Note or in any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced herein shall be limited to the maximum permitted by such law, (ii) none of the terms and provisions contained herein shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by any state laws which are applicable, (iii) the obligation of the Payor shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted to be charged by any state laws which are applicable, and (iv) the Payee shall not collect monies which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by any such applicable state law.  Any sums collected which are in excess of such maximum rate shall be credited to the payment of any other sums due hereunder.  If no sums are due hereunder, then such excess shall be returned to the Payor.

(D)             Upon receipt of the executed original documents of the Note, Dan Berger shall transfer to the Company twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) USD.

2.                  Maturity/Prepayment.

(A)             Subject to payment(s) pursuant to Article “1” of this Note, $30,000 and any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on May 23, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).

(B)              Subject to payment pursuant to Article “1” of this Note, $35,000 and any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on May 23, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”).

(C)              If the note is not paid by the second year, the interest of $1,250 will continue to be due on a quarterly basis.

3.                  Callable Feature of the Preferred Shares and Tooling Mold.

(A)             The Payor or their designated assignee may elect to pay the Note and outstanding interest in full, at which time the 25,000 preferred shares and tooling mold would be assigned to the Payor or their designated assignee. The Payor or their designated assignee would have no further obligations to the Payee, and the note would be considered paid in full.

(i.)         If the Payor must provide written notice of its intention to call the Preferred Shares and Tooling Mold, in order to decide the amounts outstanding owed to the Payee.

(ii.)       Upon payment of full (including penalties and interest) the Payee must deliver the 25,000 Preferred Shares, free and clear of any liens, the rights of ownership the Tooling mold to the Payor or their designated assignee.

(iii.)     If the Payee fails to deliver the Preferred shares or ownership in the Tooling Mold in timely manner, after the obligations to the Payee have been satisfied, the Payee shall pay to the Payor $500 per month until the Preferred shares or ownership in the Tooling Mold have delivered to the Payor. The Payee acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Payor’s actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in delivering the Preferred Shares and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
