      Maximum

      This
      Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Company
      be
      obligated or required to pay interest hereunder at a rate that could subject
      the

      of
      the maximum rate which the Company is permitted by law to contract or agree
      to
      pay. If, by the terms of this Note, the Company is at any time required or
      obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate
      of
      interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such
      maximum rate and interest payable hereunder shall be computed at such maximum
      rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum
      rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction
      of
      the principal balance of this Note. 

     

    10.
      Preferred
      Stock .
      As an
      incentive for the Holder to make the Loan to the Company, the Holder is entitled

      of
      preferred stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) for each
      $100,000 of the principal amount of the Holder’s Loan to the Company (prorated
      for amounts not in $100,000 units) solely from Mr. Sutton’s Preferred Stock
      ownership of the Company. The Preferred Stock shall be restricted stock as
      that
      term is defined in Rule 144(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
      (the “Act”), and cannot be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned or otherwise
      disposed of (collectively “Transfer”) without compliance with the registration
      requirements of the Act, and those securities laws of the states of the United
      States which might then be applicable unless an exemption from such registration
      is available and is satisfactory to the Company. Restrictive legends will be
      placed on the certificates representing such Preferred Stock indicating the
      aforementioned Transfer restrictions, and stop transfer instructions will be
      placed against such certificates on the books and transfer records of the
      Company precluding any Transfer of such Preferred Stock. The Holder will provide
      the Company with an Investment Letter in form attached to the Note as Schedule
      B
      referencing the Transfer restrictions as provided in this Section 10. No
      registration rights are applicable or have been provided to the Holder with
      respect to the Preferred Stock which the Holder is obtaining from Mr. Sutton
      as
      provided herein.

    Gentlemen:
      

    


    In
      connection with the acquisition by the undersigned of _______ shares of
      preferred stock, $.001 par value (the “Preferred Stock”) of StarInvest Group,
      Inc. (the “Company”), the undersigned, for himself and his successors and
      assigns, represents and agrees as to the following: 

    


    The
      undersigned is acquiring the Preferred Stock from Isaac H. Sutton, President
      and
      CEO of the Company, with a view toward investment and not with a view toward
      the
      distribution thereof. The undersigned has acquired the Preferred Stock for
      his
      account and not for the account of any other person or entity. 

    


    The
      undersigned understands that he is acquiring and will be owning and holding
      “restricted” shares of Preferred Stock as that term is defined under the federal
      securities laws of the United States and more particularly under Rule 144(a)(3)
      promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Therefore, the undersigned
      understands and agrees that he will not be able to sell, pledge, hypothecate,
      assign or otherwise dispose of (collectively referred to as “transfer”) the
      Preferred Stock without compliance with the registration requirements of the
      Act, and those securities laws of the states of the United States which might
      then be applicable, unless an exemption therefrom is available and is
      satisfactory to you and your counsel. 

    


    The
      undersigned is aware of the fact that restrictive legends shall be placed on
      the
      face of the certificate for the Preferred Stock indicating that the Preferred
      Stock cannot be transferred without such registration or an available exemption;
      and the undersigned is further aware of the fact that stop transfer instructions
      shall be placed against the certificates representing the Preferred Stock on
      the
      books and transfer records of the Company precluding any transfer of the
      Preferred Stock. 

     

    The
      undersigned has been advised and understands that the Preferred Stock has not
      been registered under the Act, nor pursuant to the provisions of the securities
      or other laws of any applicable jurisdiction, and that the Preferred Stock
      has
      been issued to the undersigned in reliance on exemptions for non-public
      offerings as contained in Sections 4(2) or 4(6) of the Act (“private placement”)
      and/or Regulation D thereunder and of the laws of such other jurisdiction as
      may
      be applicable. The undersigned is fully aware that the Preferred Stock is issued
      to the undersigned in reliance upon such exemptions based upon the undersigned’s
      representations set forth herein. The undersigned is fully aware of the
      restrictions on the transferability of the Preferred stock based on the Act
      and
      the state securities laws, and that the undersigned must bear the economic
      risk
      of his investment in the Preferred Stock for an indefinite period of time.
      

    


    The
      undersigned hereby agrees not to make any transfer of the Preferred Stock in
      violation of the Act or the rules promulgated thereunder or under state
      securities laws. 

    


    The
      undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Company has not granted him
      the right to include his Preferred Stock in any registration statement or
      qualification (collectively “registration”) with respect to any of his
      securities under federal or state securities laws and the undersigned further
      understands that he has no independent right to request or demand registration
      of the Preferred Stock. 

    


    The
      undersigned agrees that the Company may refuse to permit the undersigned to
      transfer any of the Preferred Stock unless (i) there is an effective
      registration statement under the Act covering such transfer; or (ii) the
      undersigned furnishes the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
      you
      to the effect that registration under the Act or under the law of any applicable
      jurisdiction is not required for such transfer; or (iii) the undersigned
      furnishes proof satisfactory to you that he will make such transfer only in
      compliance with Rule 144 under the Act, and the rules of any other applicable
      jurisdiction if and as then applicable to the Preferred Stock.

    The
      undersigned further represents and warrants that he has carefully read this
      investment letter and understands its requirements and other applicable
      limitations upon the transfer of the Preferred Stock. 

    


    The
      undersigned is familiar with the Company’s operations and affairs and, in
      particular, its present financial condition. The undersigned further represents
      to you that he has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
      and is capable of evaluating the risks in participating with and making the
      investment in the Company and acquiring the Preferred Stock. The undersigned
      is
      familiar with the material facts and financial information necessary to make
      an
      informed judgment as to the merits of making this investment in the Company.
      

    


    The
      foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of this date
      and each such representation and warranty shall survive the acquisition of
      the
      Preferred Stock. The undersigned recognizes that if any of the above
      representations or statements are untrue or misleading or if he violates any
      of
      the terms of this investment letter or the federal securities laws and the
      regulations of the SEC, he may bring about a violation of the federal and state
      securities laws, both on the undersigned’s part and that of the Company.


    


    The
      undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless and your
      respective officers, directors and affiliated persons from any and all damages,
      losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) which it, or
      any of them, may incur by reason of a breach of any of the undersigned’s
      representations and warranties contained herein. 

    


    All
      references in this Investment Letter to the single number and neuter gender
      shall be deemed to mean and include the plural number and all genders, and
      vice
      versa, unless the context shall otherwise require. 

    


    Very
      truly yours,
