     FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  Payment  Data  Systems,  Inc.,  a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), (OTC BB: PYDS) hereby promises to pay DUTCHESS PRIVATE EQUITIES
FUND,  II,  L.P. (the "Holder") within the Maturity Date, or earlier, the Amount
of  Two  Hundred  and  Eighty-Four  Thousand  Dollars  ($284,000)  U.S., in such
amounts,  at such times and on such terms and conditions as are specified herein
(this  "Note").

     Any capitalized term not defined in this Note are defined in the Investment
Agreement  for the Equity Line of Credit between Dutchess Private Equities Fund,
LP  (the  "Investor")  and  the  Company  (the  "Investment  Agreement").

Article  1          Method  of  Payment

     Payments  made  by  the  Company  in  satisfaction  of  this  Note  (each a
"Payment,"  and  collectively,  the "Payments") shall be made from each Put from
the  Equity  Line  of  Credit  with  the  Investor  given  by the Company to the
Investor.   The  Company  shall make payments to the Holder in the amount of the
lesser of 1) $71,000 or 2) fifty percent (50%) of each Put to  the Investor from
the  Company (the "Payment Amount") until the Face Amount is paid in full, minus
any fees due.   First payment will be due at the successful Closing of the first
Put  ("Payment  Date"  or  "Payment  Dates") after the thirty (30) days from the
Issuance  Date  of  this  Note  and  all subsequent payments will be made at the
Closing  of  every  Put  to  the Investor thereafter until  this Note is paid in
full.   Notwithstanding  any provision to the contrary in this Note, the Company
may pay in full to the Holder the Face Amount, or any balance remaining thereof,
in  readily  available  funds at any time and from time to time without penalty.

     Payments  pursuant  to this Note shall be made directly from the Closing of
each  Put  ("Put  Closing")  and  shall  be  wired directly to the Holder on the
Closing  Date.  The Holder shall retain the sole right and from time to time may
elect  to  lower  the  amount  of  a  payment  ("Lowered  Payment Amount") if so
requested  by  the  Company.  In the event of a Lowered Payment Amount, the next
payment  under  this  Note will be increased by the greater of 1) the percentage
difference  between the next Payment and the Lowered Payment Amount (Example: If
the  Company places a Put for $100,000 ($50,000 of which would go toward payment
of the Face Amount of this Note) and the Company requests a Lowered Payment such
that  $30,000  will go toward payment of the Face Amount of this Note (thus, the
Company owes Holder $20,000, which is 40% of the total amount owed to the Holder
under  such  Put),  and  the next Put is for $500,000 ($250,000 of which will go
toward  payment  of the Face Amount of this Note), then the total amount owed to
the  Holder under this Put will be $250,000 multiplied by 1.40) or 2) the actual
dollar  amount  difference  between  the  next  payment  and the Lowered Payment
Amount.

Article  2             Collateral

     The  Company  does  hereby agree to issue 25 Put Notices ("Collateral")  to
the  Investor  for  the full amount applicable under the terms of the Investment
Agreement  and shall do so at the maximum frequency allowed under the Investment
Agreement,  until  such  time  as  the  Note  is paid in full. The Company shall
deliver  25  Put Notices upon execution of this Note (hereto attached as Exhibit
A).  Upon  the  completion of the Company's obligation to the Holder of the Face
Amount  of  this  Note,  the  Company  will  not  be under further obligation to
complete  any more Puts.  All remaining Put sheets shall be marked "VOID" by the
Investor  and  sent  back  to  the  Company  at  the  Company's  request.

Article  3      Unpaid  Amounts

     In  the  event  that  on  the  Maturity  Date the Company has any remaining
amounts unpaid on this Note (the "Residual Amount"), the Holder can exercise its
right to increase the Residual Amount by 2.5% per month paid as liquated damages
("Liquidated  Damages").  The  Liquated Damages will be compounded daily. If the
aforementioned  occurs,  the  Company  will  be  in  Default and the remedies as
described  in  Article  4  may  be  taken at the Holder's discretion.  It is the
intention and acknowledgement of both parties that the Liquidated Damages not be
deemed  as  interest.

Article  4      Defaults  and  Remedies

    Section  4.1 Events of Default. An "Event of Default" or "Default" occurs if
(a) the Company does not make the payment of the Face Amount of this Note within
two  (2)  business days of the applicable Closing of a Put or the Maturity Date,
as  applicable,  upon  redemption  or otherwise, (b) the Company, pursuant to or
within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined): (i) commences
a  voluntary  case; (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it
in  an  involuntary  case;  (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as
hereinafter defined) of it or for all or substantially all of its property; (iv)
makes  a  general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) a court of
competent  jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(A)  is  for  relief  against the Company in an involuntary case; (B) appoints a
Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or (C)
orders  the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed
and  in  effect for sixty (60) calendar days; (c) the Company's $0.001 par value
common  stock  (the  "Common  Stock") is suspended or is no longer listed on any
recognized  exchange,  including  an electronic over-the-counter bulletin board,
for  in  excess  of  five  (5) consecutive trading days; or (d) the registration
statement  for the underlying shares in the Investment Agreement does not remain
effective for any reason. As used in this Section 4.1, the term "Bankruptcy Law"
means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar federal or state law for
the  relief  of  debtors.  The  term  "Custodian"  means  any receiver, trustee,
assignee,  liquidator  or  similar  official  under  any  Bankruptcy  Law.

     In  the  event of a Default hereunder, the Holder shall have the right, but
not  the  obligation,  to  1)  switch  the  Residual  Amount  to  a  three-year
("Convertible Maturity Date"), 10% interest bearing convertible debenture at the
terms  described  in  Section 4.2 (the "Convertible Debenture"). At such time of
Default,  the  Convertible  Debenture  shall  be considered closed ("Convertible
Closing  Date").  If  the  Holder  chooses  to  convert the Residual Amount to a
Convertible  Debenture,  the  Company shall have twenty (20) business days after
notice  of  the  same  (the  "Notice  of  Convertible  Debenture")  to  file  a
registration  statement  covering  an  amount  of  shares  equal  to 300% of the
Residual  Amount.  Such registration statement shall be declared effective under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission (the "Commission") within 40 business days of the date
the  Company  files such Registration Statement.   In the event the Company does
not  file  such  registration statement within twenty (20)  business days of the
Holder's  request,  or  such  registration  statement  is  not  declared  by the
Commission  to  be  effective  under  the  Securities Act within the time period
described  above , the Residual Amount shall increase by $1,000 per day.  In the
event  the  Company  is  given  the  option for accelerated effectiveness of the
registration  statement,  it  agrees  that  it  shall  cause  such  registration
statement  to  be  declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable.  In the
event  that the Company is given the option for accelerated effectiveness of the
registration  statement, but chooses not to cause such registration statement to
be  declared  effective  on  such  accelerated  basis, the Residual Amount shall
increase  by  $1,000  per  day  commencing on the earliest date as of which such
registration  statement  would  have been declared to be effective if subject to
accelerated  effectiveness;  or  2)  the  Holder may increase the Payment Amount
described  under Article 1 to fulfill the repayment of the Residual Amount.  The
Company  shall provide full cooperation to the Holder in directing funds owed to
the Holder on any Put to the Investor.    The Company agrees to diligently carry
out  the  terms  outlined  in  the Investment Agreement for delivery of any such
shares.  In the event the Company is not diligently fulfilling its obligation to
direct  funds  owed  to  the  Holder  from  Puts  to the Investor, as reasonably
determined  by  the  Holder,  the  Holder  may, after giving the Company two (2)
business days' advance notice to cure the same, , elect to increase the Residual
Amount  of  the  Note  by  2.5%  each  day,  compounded  daily.

     Section  4.2  Conversion  Privilege

       (a)     The  Holder  shall  have  the  right  to convert the Convertible
Debenture  into  shares  of  Common  Stock at any time following the Convertible
Closing  Date  and  which  is  before  the  close of business on the Convertible
Maturity Date. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
of  the  Convertible  Debenture shall be determined pursuant to Section 4.3, but
the  number  of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be,
to  the  nearest  whole  share.

       (b)     The  Convertible Debenture may be converted, whether in whole or
in  part,  at  any  time  and  from  time  to  time.

       (c)     In  the  event  all  or  any portion of the Convertible Debenture
remains  outstanding  on  the Convertible Maturity Date (the "Debenture Residual
Amount"),  the  unconverted  portion  of  such  Convertible  Debenture  will
automatically  be  converted  into  shares  of  Common Stock on such date in the
manner  set  forth  in  Section  4.3.

     Section  4.3  Conversion  Procedure.

     The Residual Amount may be converted, in whole or in part any time and from
time  to time, following the Convertible Closing Date.  Such conversion shall be
effectuated  by  surrendering  to  the Company, or its attorney, the Convertible
Debenture  to  be  converted together with a facsimile or original of the signed
notice  of  conversion  (the  "Notice  of  Conversion").   The date on which the
Notice  of Conversion is effective ("Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the
date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company a facsimile or original of
the  signed  Notice  of  Conversion,  as  long  as  the  original  Convertible
Debenture(s)  to  be  converted  are  received  by  the  Company within five (5)
business  days thereafter.  At such time that the original Convertible Debenture
has  been  received by the Company, the Holder can elect to whether a reissuance
of the Convertible Debenture is warranted, or whether the Company can retain the
Convertible  Debenture  as  to  a  continual  conversion  by  the  Holder.
Notwithstanding  the  above,  any Notice of Conversion received by 4:00 P.M. EST
shall  be deemed to have been received the following business day (receipt being
via  a  confirmation  of  the  time  such facsimile to the Company is received).

       (a)   Common Stock to  be Issued.  Upon the conversion of any Convertible
Debentures  and  upon  receipt  by the Company or its attorney of a facsimile or
original of the Holder's signed Notice of Conversion, the Company shall instruct
its  transfer  agent  to issue stock certificates without restrictive legends or
stop  transfer  instructions,  if  at  that time the aforementioned registration
statement  described  in Section 4.1 has been declared effective (or with proper
restrictive  legends  if the registration statement has not as yet been declared
effective), in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the
number  of  shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, as applicable.
In  the event that the Debenture is aged one year and deemed sellable under Rule
144, the Company shall, upon a Notice of Conversion, instruct the transfer agent
to issue free trading certificates without restrictive legends, subject to other
applicable  securities  laws.  The  Company  is responsible to provide all costs
associated  with  the  issuance  of the shares, including but not limited to the
opinion  letter,  FedEx  of the certificates and any other costs that arise. The
Company  shall  act  as  registrar  and  shall  maintain  an  appropriate ledger
containing the necessary information with respect to each Convertible Debenture.
The  Company  warrants that no instructions, other than these instructions, have
been  given  or  will  be  given to the transfer agent and that the Common Stock
shall  otherwise  be freely resold, except as may be set forth herein or subject
to  applicable  law.

       (b)     Conversion  Rate.  Holder  is  entitled  to convert the Debenture
Residual  Amount  ,  plus  accrued  interest,  anytime following the Convertible
Maturity Date, at the lesser of (i) 75% of the average of the lowest closing bid
price  during  the  fifteen  (15)  trading immediately preceding the Convertible
Maturity Date or (ii) 100% of the average of the lowest bid price for the twenty
(20)  trading  days  immediately preceding the Convertible Maturity Date ("Fixed
Conversion  Price").  No  fractional  shares  or scrip representing fractions of
shares  will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be
rounded  up  or  down,  as  the  case  may  be,  to  the  nearest  whole  share.

       (c)    Nothing  contained  in  the  Convertible  Debenture shall be
deemed  to  establish or require the payment of interest to the Holder at a rate
in  excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the
rate  of  interest  required  to  be  paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by
governing  law,  the  rate  of  interest required to be paid thereunder shall be
automatically  reduced to the maximum rate permitted under the governing law and
such  excess  shall  be returned with reasonable promptness by the Holder to the
Company.

       (d)     It  shall  be  the Company's responsibility to take all necessary
actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Common Stock as provided herein,
including  the  responsibility and cost for delivery of an opinion letter to the
transfer  agent,  if  so  required.  Holder shall be treated as a shareholder of
record  on  the  date  Common Stock is issued to the Holder. If the Holder shall
designate  another  person  as  the  entity  in  the  name  of  which  the stock
certificates  issuable  upon  conversion  of the Convertible Debenture are to be
issued  prior  to the issuance of such certificates, the Holder shall provide to
the  Company evidence that either no tax shall be due and payable as a result of
such  transfer  or  that  the applicable tax has been paid by the Holder or such
person. Upon surrender of any Convertible Debentures that are to be converted in
part, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new Convertible Debenture equal to
the  unconverted  amount,  if  so  requested  in  writing  by  the  Holder.

       (e)    Within  five  (5) business days after receipt of the documentation
referred  to  above in Section 4.2, the Company shall deliver a certificate, for
the  number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion. In the event
the  Company  does not make delivery of the Common Stock as instructed by Holder
within  five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, then in such event the
Company  shall pay to the Holder one percent (1%) in cash of the dollar value of
the Debenture Residual Amount remaining after said conversion, compounded daily,
per  each  day  after the fifth (5th) business day following the Conversion Date
that  the  Common  Stock  is  not  delivered  to  the  Purchaser.

           The Company acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Common Stock
within five (5) business days after the Conversion Date will cause the Holder to
suffer  damages  in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly,
the  parties  agree  that it is appropriate to include in this  Note a provision
for  liquidated  damages  The  parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated
damages  provision  set forth in this section represents the parties' good faith
effort  to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of
such  liquidated  damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty.  The
payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations
to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Debenture.

       (f)     The  Company  shall  at  all  times  reserve (or make alternative
written  arrangements  for  reservation  or  contribution  of  shares)  and have
available  all  Common  Stock  necessary  to  meet conversion of the Convertible
Debentures  by  the  Holder  of the entire amount of Convertible Debentures then
outstanding.  If,  at any time the Holder submits a Notice of Conversion and the
Company  does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
(or  alternative shares of Common Stock as may be contributed by stockholders of
the  Company)  available  to  effect,  in  full, a conversion of the Convertible
Debentures  (a  "Conversion Default," the date of such default being referred to
herein  as the "Conversion Default Date"), the Company shall issue to the Holder
all  of  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  which  are available, and the Notice of
Conversion  as  to  any Convertible Debentures requested to be converted but not
converted  (the  "Unconverted  Convertible  Debentures"), may be deemed null and
void  upon  written  notice sent by the Holder to the Company. The Company shall
provide  notice  of  such Conversion Default ("Notice of Conversion Default") to
the  Holder,  by  facsimile within three (3) business days of such default (with
the  original  delivered  by  overnight mail or two day courier), and the Holder
shall  give  notice to the Company by facsimile within five (5) business days of
receipt  of  the  original  Notice  of  Conversion  Default  (with  the original
delivered  by  overnight  mail  or  two  day  courier) of its election to either
nullify  or  confirm  the  Notice  of  Conversion.

     The  Company  agrees  to  pay  the Holder payments for a Conversion Default
("Conversion  Default  Payments")  in  the  amount  of (N/365) multiplied by .24
multiplied  by the initial issuance price of the outstanding or tendered but not
converted Convertible Debentures held by the Holder where N = the number of days
from the Conversion Default Date to the date (the "Authorization Date") that the
Company  authorizes  a  sufficient  number  of  shares of Common Stock to effect
conversion  of  all  remaining  Convertible  Debentures.  The Company shall send
notice  ("Authorization  Notice") to the Holder that additional shares of Common
Stock  have  been authorized, the Authorization Date, and the amount of Holder's
accrued  Conversion  Default  Payments.  The accrued Conversion Default shall be
paid  in  cash  or shall be convertible into Common Stock at the conversion rate
set  forth  in the first sentence of this paragraph, upon written notice sent by
the Holder to the Company, which Conversion Default shall be payable as follows:
(i)  in  the event the Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payments
shall  be  made  to the Holder  by the fifth (5th) day of the following calendar
month,  or  (ii)  in  the event Holder elects to take such payment in stock, the
Holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock at  the conversion rate
set  forth  in  the first sentence of this paragraph at any time after the fifth
(5th)  day  of the calendar month following the month in which the Authorization
Notice  was  received,  until  the  expiration  of  the mandatory three (3) year
conversion  period.

     The  Company  acknowledges that its failure to maintain a sufficient number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to effect in full a conversion
of  the  Convertible  Debentures  will  cause the Holder to suffer damages in an
amount that will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties agree that
it  is  appropriate  to  include  in  this  Agreement a provision for liquidated
damages.  The  parties  acknowledge  and  agree  that  the  liquidated  damages
provision set forth in this section represents the parties' good faith effort to
quantify  such  damages  and,  as  such,  agree that the form and amount of such
liquidated  damages  are  reasonable  and  will  not  constitute a penalty.  The
payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations
to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Debenture.

       (g)    If,  by  the fifth (5th) business day after the Conversion Date of
any portion of the Convertible Debentures to be converted (the "Delivery Date"),
the  transfer  agent  fails  for  any  reason  to  deliver the Common Stock upon
conversion  by the Holder and after such Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in
an  open  market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering
Shares")  solely  in  order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common
Stock  by the Holder (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Holder anticipated
to  make  using  the  Common  Stock  issuable  upon conversion (a "Buy-In"), the
Company  shall pay to the Holder, in addition to any other amounts due to Holder
pursuant  to  this  Convertible  Debenture,  and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In
Adjustment  Amount  (as  defined  below).  The "Buy In Adjustment Amount" is the
amount  equal  to  the  excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price
(including  brokerage  commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the
net  proceeds  (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from
the  sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount
to  the  Holder  in immediately available funds within five (5) business days of
written  demand  by  the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of
the  foregoing,  if  the  Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase  price  (including  brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with  respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the
Buy-In Adjustment Amount which the Company will be required to pay to the Holder
will  be  $1,000.

       (h)     The  Company  shall  defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless
the Holder and all of its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, counsel,
and  direct  or  indirect  investors and any of the foregoing person's agents or
other  representatives  (including,  without  limitation,  those  retained  in
connection  with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the  "Section  4.3(h) Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes
of  action,  suits,  claims,  losses,  costs,  penalties,  fees, liabilities and
damages,  and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Section  4.3(h)  Indemnitee  is  a party to the action for which indemnification
hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
(the  "Section  4.3(h) Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Section 4.3(h)
Indemnitee  as  a  result  of,  or  arising  out  of,  or  relating  to  (i) any
misrepresentation  or  breach  of  any  representation  or  warranty made by the
Company  in  the  Transaction  Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document  contemplated  hereby  or  thereby,  (ii)  any  breach of any covenant,
agreement,  or  obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents
or  any  other  certificate,  instrument,  or  document  contemplated  hereby or
thereby,  (iii) any cause of action, suit, or claim brought or made against such
Section  4.3(h) Indemnitee by a third party and arising out of or resulting from
the  execution,  delivery,  performance,  or  enforcement  of  the  Transaction
Documents  or any other certificate, instrument, or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, (iv) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part,
directly  or  indirectly,  with the proceeds of the issuance of the Common Stock
underlying  the  Convertible  Debenture ("Securities"), or (v) the status of the
Holder or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company, except insofar
as  any  such  misrepresentation, breach or any untrue statement, alleged untrue
statement,  omission,  or  alleged  omission  is  made  in  reliance upon and in
conformity  with  written  information furnished to the Company by the Holder or
the  Investor which is specifically intended by the Holder or the Investor to be
relied  upon  by  the  Company, including for use in the preparation of any such
registration  statement,  preliminary  prospectus, or prospectus, or is based on
illegal trading of the Common Stock by the Holder or the Investor. To the extent
that  the  foregoing  undertaking  by  the  Company may be unenforceable for any
reason,  the  Company  shall  make  the  maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction  of  each  of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under
applicable  law.  The indemnity provisions contained herein shall be in addition
to  any  cause  of  action  or  similar  rights  the  Holder  may  have, and any
liabilities  the  Holder  may  be  subject  to.

Article  5  Additional  Financing

          The  Company  will  not enter into any additional financing agreements
without  prior  expressed  written  consent  from the Holder, which shall not be
unreasonably  withheld.
