ARTICLE I.
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; SECURITY AGREEMENT
Section 1.1 For value received, Maker promises to pay to Holder at such place as Holder or its assignees may designate in writing, in currently available funds of the United States, the principal sum of Sixty Five Thousand Dollars. Maker's obligation under this Note shall accrue interest at the rate of Five Percent (5.0%) per annum from the date hereof until paid in full.

The interest will be paid in cash at maturity or at conversion date.
Section 1.2
a. All payments shall be applied first to late charges, then to interest, then to principal and shall be credited to the Maker's account on the date that such payment is physically received by the Holder.
b. All principal and accrued interest then outstanding shall be due and payable by the Maker to the Holder on or before February 1, 2015 (the "Maturity Date").
c. Maker shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal under this Note with thirty (30) days written notice of intent to prepay, with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Maker and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
ARTICLE II.
CONVERSION RIGHTS
Section 2.1 Voluntary Conversion. The stock shall have a par value of $0.001. At any time between the February 1, 2013, (the "Issue Date") and February 1, 2015 (the "Due Date"), unless previously repaid by the Company, this Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at a rate of $0.0065 cents per share (the "Common Stock"), at the option of the Payee, in whole or in part (subject to any limitations on conversion). The Payee shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Notice of the Conversion"), specifying therein the amount of Loan (up to US $65,000.00) to be converted into up to 10,000,000 shares or a pro-rata share of the remaining unpaid balance. The date which the company receives the Notice of Conversion shall be the conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). To effect conversions hereunder, the Payee shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest has been converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding amount of the Loan in an amount equal to the applicable conversion amount. The Payee and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted amount of the Loan may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
Note, the unpaid and unconverted amount of the Loan may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
