	 	6.	Security.
    As an inducement for the Lender to make this loan (the “Loan”) to the Borrower, John Keeler, the Executive
    Chairman of the Borrower, hereby pledges five million (5,000,000) of his shares of common stock of the Borrower to secure
    the Borrower’s obligations under this Note.
	 	 	 
	 	7.	Waiver.
    Presentment for payment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of non-payment,
    notice of intent to accelerate the maturity and acceleration are hereby waived.
	 	 	 
	 	8.	Amendment.
    The Note cannot be modified, discharged or terminated except in writing signed by the parties hereto.
	 	 	 
	 	9.	Cost
    of Collection. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
    incurred by the Lender in collecting or enforcing the Note.
	 	 	 
	 	10.	Governing
    Law.  The Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida applicable
    to contracts made and to be performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
	 	 	 
	 	11.	Savings
    Clause. Any provision herein or in any other agreement or commitment between the Borrower and the Lender, whether
    written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender shall never be entitled to charge, receive,
    or collect, nor shall amounts received hereunder be credited as interest so that the Lender shall be paid, a sum greater than
    interest at the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time may be contracted for, charged, received, or collected
    on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). It is the intention
    of the parties that the Note shall comply with applicable law. If the Lender ever contracts for, charges, receives, or collects,
    anything of value which is deemed to be interest under applicable law, and if the occurrence of any circumstance or contingency,
    whether acceleration of maturity of the Note, delay in advancing proceeds of the Note; or other event, should cause such interest
    to exceed interest at the Maximum Rate, any such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance
    of the Note or any other indebtedness owed to the Lender by the Borrower, and if the Note and such other indebtedness is paid
    in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest hereon exceeds interest
    at the Maximum Rate, the total amount of interest shall be spread throughout the entire term of the Note until its payment
    in full in a manner which will cause the interest rate on the Note not to exceed the Maximum Rate.
