    V2K INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Colorado
corporation (the “Company”), is
indebted and, for value received, promises to pay to the order of Gordon E. Beckstead on June

(unless this Note shall have been sooner called for prepayment as herein
provided), upon presentation of this Note, THREE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND, FOUR
HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN DOLLARS ($360,413.00) (the “Principal Amount”)
and to pay interest on the Principal Amount at a rate equal to Twelve Percent
(12%) per annum.

    


    The Company covenants, promises and

    1.           Collateral.  As

this date is other than the first day of a semi-annual period, the interest
payable shall be prorated upon the number of days of such semi-annual period

interest shall be made on January 15, 2009.

    4.           Conversion.

     

    4.1.          Holder’s Right to
Convert.  The holder of this Note shall have the right, at such
holder’s option, at any time, to convert all or any portion of this Note into
such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company as shall be provided herein.

     

    4.2           Conversion
Price.  The Conversion Price shall be equal to 90% of the
volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 20
consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the
Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall not be less
than $0.15.

     

    4.3.          Notice of
Conversion.  The holder of this Note may exercise the
conversion right provided in this Section 3 by giving written notice (the “Conversion Notice”)
to the Company of the exercise of such right and stating the name or names in
which the stock certificate or stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock
are to be issued and the address to which such certificates shall be delivered.
The Conversion Notice shall be accompanied by the Note. The number of shares of
Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion of the Note shall equal the
Principal Amount to be converted divided by the Conversion Price, rounded to the
nearest whole share.

     

    4.4.          Conversion
Procedure.  Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on
the date the Conversion Notice is given (the “Conversion Date”).
Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Conversion Notice, the
Company shall issue and deliver by hand against a signed receipt therefor or by
United States registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address
designated by the holder of this Note in the Conversion Notice, a stock
certificate or stock certificates of the Company representing the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and a check or cash in
payment of all interest accrued and unpaid on the Note up to and including the
Conversion Date.

     

    4.5.          Taxes. The Company shall pay
all documentary, stamp or other transactional taxes and charges attributable to
the issuance or delivery of shares of stock of the Company upon conversion;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery
of any certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the record
holder of this Note.

     

    4.6.          Reservation of Shares. The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive
rights, unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock sufficient to effect the
conversion of this Note.

     

    5.           Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolida­tion, Merger or Sale. In case of
any reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale of all
or substan­tially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or any other
change in the Common Stock of the Company, other than as a result of a
subdivision or combination (a “Change Event”), then
lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same
from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of this Note,
so that the holder shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date
to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of

    stock and
other securities and property receivable in connection with such Change Event by
a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were obtainable by the
holder immediately prior to such Change Event.  In any such case
appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of
the holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with
respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon
conversion hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the conversion
price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate conversion price shall
remain the same.

    


    6.           Default.

     

    6.1.          Events of
Default.  The entire unpaid and unredeemed balance of the
Principal Amount and all Interest accrued and unpaid on this Note shall, at the
election of the holder, be and become immediately due and payable upon the
occurrence of any of the following events (a “Default
Event”):

     

    (a)           The
non-payment by the Company when due of principal and interest or of any other
payment as provided in this Note or with respect to any other Note issued by the
Company.

     

    (b)           If
the Company (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of, or if there shall
be a taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator for
the Company or any of its property; (ii) becomes generally unable to pay its
debts as they become due; (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors or becomes insolvent; (iv) files or is served with any petition for
relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute; (v)
has any judgment entered against it in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) in any one instance or in the aggregate during any consecutive 12
month period or has any attachment or levy made to or against any of its
property or assets; (vi) defaults with respect to any evidence of indebtedness
or liability for borrowed money, or any such indebtedness shall not be paid as
and when due and payable; or (vii) has assessed or imposed against it, or if
there shall exist, any general or specific lien for any federal, state or local
taxes or charges against any of its property or assets.

     

    (c)           Any
failure by the Company to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock as provided
herein upon conversion of this Note.

     

    6.2.          Remedies.  Each
right, power or remedy of the holder hereof upon the occurrence of any Default
Event as provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition
to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Note or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and the exercise or
beginning of the exercise by the holder or transferee hereof of any one or more
of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by the holder hereof of any or all such other rights, powers or
remedies.

     

    7.           Failure to Act and Waiver. No
failure or delay by the holder hereof to insist upon the strict performance of
any term of this Note or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon
a default hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such
breach, or preclude the holder hereof from exercising any such right, power or
remedy at any later time or

holder hereof shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require payment
when due of all other amounts payable under this Note, or to declare a default
for failure to effect such payment of any such other amount.

     

    The failure of the holder of this Note
to give notice of any failure or breach of the Company under this Note shall not
constitute a waiver of any right or remedy in respect of such continuing failure
or breach or any subsequent failure or breach.

     

    8.           Consent to Jurisdiction. The
Company hereby agrees and consents that any action, suit or proceeding arising
