Secured Financial Network Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received hereby promises to pay to T Squared Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) with interest on the unpaid principal of this Note, from the date hereof, at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded monthly, except as otherwise may be provided herein.  All payments hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the place the Holder may designate in writing to the Company.
 
Interest on this Note shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, compounded monthly, unless the maximum legal interest rate would thereby be exceeded, in which event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding such maximum rate, interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable calendar year in which it accrued.  It is the intention of the Company and the Holder to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.  It is therefore agreed that (a) the aggregate of all interest and other charges constituting interest under applicable law and contracted for, chargeable or receivable under this Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, shall never exceed the maximum amount of interest, nor produce a rate in excess of the maximum contract rate of interest the Holder may charge the Company under applicable law and in regard to which the Company may not successfully assert the claim or defense of usury, and (b) if any excess interest is provided for, it shall be deemed a mistake and the same shall be refunded to the Company or credited on the unpaid principal balance hereof and this Note shall be automatically deemed reformed so as to permit only the collection of the maximum legal contract rate and amount of interest.
 
The outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest of this Note shall be due and payable on August 31, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”), together with all fees and expenses, if any, due hereunder.  This Note may not be prepaid, at any time, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Holder.  Any or all monthly interest payments may be accrued to the balance of the Note, or payable to the investor upon demand, at the sole discretion of the Holder.
