BLUESTAR HEALTH, INC.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
 
$150,000.00
February 13, 2006

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Bluestar Health, Inc., a Colorado corporation, its assigns and successors (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Alfred Oglesby, an individual, or his assigns (the “Holder”), in immediately available funds, the total principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on or before 5:00 p.m., Mountain Standard Time, on February 13, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”) (unless such payment date is accelerated as provided in Section 9 hereof). The Holder shall have the right to elect to receive payment of the outstanding principal amount and any unpaid accrued interest thereon in one of the following ways: (i) payment in full on the Maturity Date, or (ii) 12 monthly payments beginning on the Maturity Date. Payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be made at the address of the Holder provided for in Section 10 hereof. Interest shall accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on this Note from the date hereof and shall continue to accrue until all unpaid principal and interest is paid in full.

1.    HISTORY OF THE LOAN. This Note is being delivered to Holder as consideration for amounts owed by the Company to the Holder for advances previously made to the Company by the Holder.

2.    PREPAYMENT. The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note, without penalty or premium, provided that concurrently with each such prepayment the Company shall pay accrued interest on the principal, if any, so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

3.    CONVERSION. The Holder is entitled, at his option, at any time beginning on the date hereof, and in whole or in part, to convert the outstanding principal amount of this Note, or any portion of the principal amount hereof, and any accrued interest, into shares of the common stock of the Company. Any amounts Holder elects to convert will be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Any conversion shall be effectuated by giving a written notice (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Company on the date of conversion, stating therein the amount of principal and accrued interest due to Holder under this Note being converted. If the Company fails to deliver the shares of common stock due to Holder within seven (7) days of receipt of a Notice of Conversion, Holder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock due to Holder on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion and the total conversion price required to convert the shares of common stock due to Holder (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).

4.    CONVERSION LIMITATION. Notwithstanding Section 3 above, the Holder may not convert any outstanding amounts due under this Note if at the time of such conversion the amount of common stock issued for the conversion, when added to other shares of Company common stock owned by the Holder or which can be acquired by Holder upon exercise or conversion of any other instrument, would cause the Holder to own more than nine and nine-tenths percent (9.9%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The restriction described in this paragraph may be revoked upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from Holder to the Company.

5.    CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. In the event the Company should at any time after the date hereof do either of the following: i) fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding common stock of the Company, or ii) grant the holders of the Company’s common stock a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of common stock without the payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of common stock (“Stock Adjustment”), then, as of the record date (or the date of such Stock Adjustment if no record date is fixed), the conversion price of this Note shall be appropriately adjusted so that the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in the number of outstanding shares in order to insure such Stock Adjustment does not decrease the conversion value of this Note.

6.    TRANSFERABILITY. This Note shall not be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or assigned by the Company without the express written consent of the Holder. In the event any third party acquires a controlling interest in the Company or acquires substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Reorganization Event”), this Note will survive and become an obligation of the party that acquires such controlling interest or assets. In the event of a Reorganization Event the Company agrees to make the party that acquires such controlling interest or assets, aware of the terms of this Section and this Note. This Note may be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or assigned by the Holder in his sole discretion.

7.    RESERVATION AND LISTING OF SECURITIES. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of common stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of this Note, such number of shares of common stock as would be necessary to convert the entire amount due and owing under the terms of this Note if Holder elected to convert said amount under Section 3 hereof.

8.    SECURITY. This Note is secured by shares of common stock as set forth in that certain Escrow Agreement of even date herewith.

9.    DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:

Page 2 of 6


(a)    The non-payment, when due, of any principal or interest pursuant to this Note;

(b)    The material breach of any representation or warranty in this Note. In the event the Holder becomes aware of a breach of this Section 9(b), the Holder shall notify the Company in writing of such breach and the Company shall have five business days after notice to cure such breach;

(c)    The breach of any covenant or undertaking, not otherwise provided for in this Section 9;

(d)    The commencement by the Company of any voluntary proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or the adjudication of the Company as insolvent or bankrupt by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; or the petition or application by the Company for, acquiescence in, or consent by the Company to, the appointment of any receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company; or the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors; or the written admission of the Company of its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or

(e)    The commencement against the Company of any proceeding relating to the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, provided, however, that the commencement of such a proceeding shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Company consents to the same or admits in writing the material allegations of same, or said proceeding shall remain undismissed for 20 days; or the issuance of any order, judgment or decree for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company, which order, judgment or decree remains undismissed for 20 days; or a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process shall be issued against any substantial part of the property of the Company.

Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Holder, may, by written notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable, in which event it shall immediately be and become due and payable, provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth in paragraph (d) or paragraph (e) hereof, all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable without any such notice.

10.    NOTICES. Notices to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if delivered personally or sent by overnight courier, or by facsimile transmission.
