      Dear
        Mr.

      This
        letter is to confirm, in writing, that subject to your acceptance of this
        new
        position, your responsibilities and title would change from EVP of Operations
        to
President
        of DeWind Inc.,
        with an
        effective date of September 3, 2008. You will be reporting to Marv
        Sepe, COO of Composite Technology Corporation, the owner of DeWind Inc.,
        and you
        will also be legally under the direction of the Board of
        Directors of DeWind Inc., which of course is appointed by Composite Technology
        Corporation. Your compensation is as follows:

      

      •

        2008.
        The plan is intended to be based on a combination of agreed upon goals that

    FOR
      VALUE
      RECEIVED, the undersigned, PURPLE BEVERAGE COMPANY, INC., a Nevada corporation
      (“Debtor”), promises to pay to the order of Barry Honig., or its successors or
      assigns (“Lender”), on the sooner of October 24, 2008, or within five days of
      receipt by the Debtor of funds in excess of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
      Dollars and no cents (“Maturity Date”) at 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1601, New
      York, New York 10176, or at such other place as the Lender may designate from
      time to time in writing to the Debtor, in lawful money of the United States
      of
      America, the principal Sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and no
      cents ($250,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance
      of
      this Note from the date hereof until paid at five percent (5%) per annum. In
      the
      event of Debtor’s default hereunder, interest on amounts past due pursuant to
      this Note shall be paid at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Interest
      shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year.

     

    On
      or
      prior to October 3, 2008 Debtor shall use its best efforts to prepare and shall
      file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with
      the SEC for a primary offering of not less than 24 million newly-issued
      registered shares of common stock of Debtor, plus 2.5 million shares for third
      party resale, and shall file an original listing application with a national
      securities exchange, and shall authorize a reverse stock split, such
      registration statement to be declared effective and the common stock listed
      (including any reverse split) on or prior to the Maturity Date, unless extended
      by the Lender, failure to take any such action shall constitute a default under
      this Note. The obligations of this paragraph shall survive repayment of the
      Note.

     

    The
      delay
      or failure to exercise any right hereunder shall not waive such right. The
      undersigned hereby waives demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor
      or
      nonpayment, notice of protest, any and all delays or lack of diligence in
      collection hereof and assents to each and every extension or postponement of
      the
      time of payment or other indulgence.

     

    In
      the
      event of default hereunder such that this Note is placed in the hands of an
      attorney for collection (whether or not suit is filed), or if this Note is
      collected by suit or legal proceedings or through bankruptcy proceedings, Debtor
      agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of
      collection.

     

    This
      Note
      shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the
      laws
      of the State of New York. Exclusive jurisdiction relating to this Note shall
      vest in courts located in New York State.

     

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed and delivered this Note
      the
      date and year first above written.
