FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DRTATTOFF, LLC (the "Company"), with its registered office in the state of California located at 8500 Wilshire Blvd Suite 105, Beverly Hills, CA 90211 hereby promises to pay to the order of Christopher Knight or permitted assigns (the "Payee"), the principal amount of One Hundred and Thirty Eight Thousand ($138,000) (the "Principal Amount") with interest from the date hereof on the Principal Amount at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Interest on this Note shall be calculated based upon a year of 360 days. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

In addition, the Company shall with 30 days of above date, assign 2.3% equity ownership stake in Company as per the terms of Company Operating Agreement.

This Note is due and payable as follows: Nine Months from above date all Principal and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full. All payments hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of interest and then to the outstanding Principal Amount.

Conversion. Upon the completion by the Company of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which the Company sells equity securities resulting securities resulting in gross proceeds to the Company equal to or exceeding Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (excluding the aggregate amount of principal represented by the Notes) (a “Next Equity Financing”), before the Maturity Date, the outstanding Principal Amount and unpaid, accrued interest on this Note may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of that type of the Company’s equity securities issued in the Next Equity Financing. The number of shares of such equity securities to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount and unpaid, accrued interest due on this Note on the date of conversion by (b) the price per share of such equity securities sold to the investors in the Next Equity Financing. The shares of equity securities to be issued upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4 shall be entitled to the same rights and subject to the same obligations provided in the purchase agreement entered into with investors in the Next Equity Financing. In conjunction with such conversion, the Holder shall become a party to and shall execute all related Next Equity Financing documentation, including, but not limited to, a definitive stock purchase agreement.
