12% SHORT TERM NOTE DUE 36 MONTHS FROM ORIGINAL ISSUANCE DATE

THIS ADDENDUM NOTE on October 1, 2014, is a duly authorized note issued by National Automation Services, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), designated as its 12% Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) due in 36 Months (Term) from the Original Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”), issued on Sept 2, 2014 (the “Original Issuance Date”) in an aggregate principal amount of Two Hundred Forty Five Thousand Dollars (US $245,000).
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Energy Management Capital, Inc., at the address listed below (the “Holder”) the principal sum of Two Hundred Forty Five Thousand Dollars (US $245,000), on or prior to the Maturity Date and to pay interest to the Holder on the principal sum at a flat rate of 12% of the principal amount of the Note with an option for prepayment provided herein the Agreement.  Interest shall accrue immediately and be fully calculated commencing on the Original Issuance Date.  Interest is to be paid to the Holder annually within 30 days of the anniversary date of the Original Issuance Date.  This interest may be converted into shares of common stock or paid in cash at the option of the Holder as along as the Company is provided 10 days advance notice within the 30 day period of the anniversary date.  A full 12% interest is due along with principle no later than 30 days from the Maturity Date.  If interest and principle is not paid in full by the 30th day, a four percent (4%) penalty is added as calculated from the base principle.

Conversion into the Company’s common stock shall be made, at the option of the Holder, using a thirty percent (30%) discount to the 10 day average closing price prior to Notice.  Notice is to be given as required below within 10 days of the anniversary date of Original Issuance Date or the Maturity Date, whichever is applies.

Company will retain and enter into an employee agreement with an appointee of the Holder as an executive member of management or in a board director role and will afford such individual all the benefits accorded with such position for the duration of the Term.

 
 

 
  
  If at any time after the Original Issuance Date an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder shall be entitled to remedies under Section 2 hereof. This is not a Public Offering and is being offered to accredited investors only.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:


Section 1.
Events of Default and Remedies.

I.           “Event of Default,” when used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or 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):
(a)           any default in the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable either at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, or otherwise;
 
(b)           the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach of, this Note, and such failure or breach shall not have been remedied within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt of notice of such failure or breach;

(c)           (i) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect or any successor thereto (the “Bankruptcy Code”); (ii) or an involuntary case is commenced against the Company under the Bankruptcy Code and the petition is not controverted within thirty (30) days, or is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, after commencement of the case; (iii) or a “custodian” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of the Company or the Company commences any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to the Company or there is commenced against the Company any such proceeding which remains un-dismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; (iv) or the Company is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or the Company suffers any appointment of any custodian or the like for it or any substantial part of its property which continues un-discharged or un-stayed for a period of thirty (30) days; or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (v) or the Company shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (vi) or the Company shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; or the Company shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; (vii) or any corporate or other action is taken by the Company for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; (viii) or the Company consents to a third party notice or indicates thru a written notice, electronic notice, or by any other reasonable notice, a meaningful interest in a conveying transaction of the Holder’s interest in the instrument created by this Agreement, ie., selling the Note, sans retaining a newly created employee agreement for its appointed representative within five business days of such executed conveyance of this instrument and paying the full amount of interest and principle due through the Term; (ix) or a failure to retain such appointed representative for a period of at least six months following the Maturity Date; or the principle sum and interest is not paid to date to the Holder through the Term before such third party notice is provided;
 
 
 

 

II.          Remedies            If any Event of Default occurs and continues, then the Holder may, by notice to the Company, accelerate all of the payments due under this Note by declaring all amounts so due under this Note, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are waived by the Company, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.  In addition, in the Event of Default, Holder Shall be entitled to an additional four percent (4%) for each 10 day period uncured for a maximum of an additional 24% calculated as penalty interest. All such penalty interest maybe converted into shares of Company Class A common stock at a forty percent (40%) discount to the 10 day average prior to Notice of Conversion.  Such Notice shall be made in accordance herein and may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder.  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  This shall include, but not be limited to the right to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the requirement of posting any bond or undertaking.
(a)           The Holder may thereupon proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law or by other appropriate proceedings whether for the specific performance (to the extent permitted by law) of any covenant or agreement contained in this Note or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Note, and proceed to enforce the payment of this Note. The Company agrees to pay reasonable costs of collection incurred by Holder and its counsel upon a default and failure of the Company to pay the Note in a timely manner.

(c)           As a non-exclusive remedy, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may convert the remaining principal amount of the Notes and accrued interest thereon at the Conversion Price upon giving a Notice of Conversion to the Company at a 25% percent discount to the average closing price during the previous 10 trading days.
