FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, KARAT PLATINUM LLC, (the “Maker”), promises to pay to SENTRA CONSULTING CORP., (the “Payee”), on or before September 26, 2007 (the “Payment Date”) the principal sum of Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($450,000.00) Dollars (the “Principal Amount”) and all interest accrued thereon as provided herein.

Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (the “Interest Rate”). All interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and shall be due and payable on the Payment Date.

Maker shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon at any time without penalty or premium. All payments hereunder when paid shall be applied first to the payment of all accrued interest and the balance shall be applied to principal.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, the total liability of Maker for payment of interest pursuant hereto, including late charges, shall not exceed the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law to be charged, collected, or received from Maker, and if any payments by Maker include interest in excess of such a maximum amount, Payee shall apply such excess to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount due pursuant hereto, or if none is due, such excess shall be refunded.

Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (hereafter defined) (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount at a rate of two percent (2%) per month (the “Default Interest Rate”).

then, in each case where an Event of Default occurs, the Payee, by notice in writing to Maker shall inform Maker of such Event of Default and if such default is not cured within forty-five (45) days from the date such notice is received by Maker, then Payee, may, at its option, declare the outstanding Principal Amount to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.
