FOR VALUE RECEIVED, EVOLUTION RESOURCES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Harborview Master Fund, L.P. or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) the principal amount of Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($215,000) (the “Initial Principal Amount”) when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and to pay interest (“Interest”) on the unpaid principal balance hereof on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Appendix hereto) and upon maturity, or earlier upon acceleration or prepayment pursuant to the terms hereof, at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Appendix hereto).  Interest on this Note payable on each Interest Payment Date and upon maturity, or earlier upon acceleration or redemption pursuant to the terms hereof, shall accrue from the Issuance Date (as defined in the Appendix hereto) and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall be payable in cash in accordance with the foregoing sentence and Section 6.

(1)

Certain Defined Terms.  Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Appendix hereto, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

(2)

Payments of Principal and Interest.  All payments under this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Holder may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.  Interest on the Principal shall be paid quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Any amount that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the




Default Rate from the date such amount is initially due until the same is paid in full.  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall be due instead on the next succeeding Business Day.  

(3)

Principal Payments.  

(a)

On the Maturity Date.  If any Principal remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, then the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed for cancellation to the Company, and such Principal shall be redeemed by the Company as of the Maturity Date by payment on the Maturity Date to the Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an amount equal to such Principal and the related Interest Amount, together with all other obligations payable under this Note or the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(b)

Optional Early Redemption by Company.

(i)

General.  At any time after the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem some or all of the Principal (a “Company Early Redemption”) by delivering to the Holder written notice (the “Company Early Redemption Notice”) at least 10 Business Days prior to the date selected by the Company for such Company Early Redemption.  The Company Early Redemption Notice shall state:

(A)

the date (the “Company Early Redemption Date”) on which the Company Early Redemption will occur;

(B)

the amount of the Principal to be redeemed by the Company on the Company Early Redemption Date;

(C)

the Interest Amount with respect to such Principal; and

(D)

that the Company is simultaneously redeeming the same percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the Other Notes.

The aggregate of (1) the amount of the Principal to be redeemed by the Company on the Company Early Redemption Date, and (2) the Interest Amount with respect thereto is referred to herein as the “Aggregate Early Redemption Amount.”  A Company Early Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable by the Company; the failure of the Company to pay the Aggregate Early Redemption Amount in full on the Company Early Redemption Date shall constitute an Event of Default; and any portion of the Aggregate Early Redemption Amount not paid on the Company Early Redemption Date shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full.  

(ii)

Mechanics of Company Early Redemption.  If the Company has delivered a Company Early Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 3(b)(i), then on the Company Early Redemption Date the Company shall pay the Aggregate Early Redemption Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Company Early Redemption Notice shall contain any material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Surrender of Note.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, upon any redemption of the Principal of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being repaid and the related Interest Amount and all other obligations payable under this Note (including any other amounts due under this Note) have been paid in full.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount redeemed and the date(s) of such redemptions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such redemption.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Holder establishing the Principal to which the Holder is entitled shall be con trolling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following redemption of any portion of this Note, the Principal may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.

(5)

Interest.  Interest shall be payable by the Company on each Interest Payment Date and at the Maturity Date, to the record Holder of this Note on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
