PaymentAll payments of principal and accrued Interest on this
Note
shall be made (to the extent permitted by the subordination terms set forth in
Section 12) by the Company in Dollars in immediately available funds not later
than 12:00 p.m., Central time, on the date such payment is due, or, if such date
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day at the address of the
Payee stated herein or at such other address of which the Company shall have
received written notice or, at the Payee's election, by crediting the Payee's
account at a bank designated by the Payee in writing to the Company. Subject to
the subordination terms set forth in Section 12, the accrued Interest shall be
payable in immediately available funds on a monthly basis commencing on April
30, 2009 and shall be due and payable in full on any payment of the principal
balance of this Note, whether as a result of maturity, prepayment, acceleration
or otherwise; provided, however,
that Default Interest shall be payable on demand. Monthly payments of Interest
on this Note shall be made (to the extent permitted by the subordination terms
set forth in Section 12) on the last day of each calendar month (i.e. April 30,
May 31, June 30, July 31, and August 31). To the extent that any Interest shall
not be paid when due solely as a result of the subordination terms set forth in
Section 12, such Interest shall accrue and shall compound monthly on the last
date of each calendar month during the period this Note is
outstanding.

WarrantiesThe Company hereby represents and warrants

government or agency applicable to the Company.

       

      9.             Events of Default In
each case of the happening of any of the following events (each an "Event
of Default"):

       

      (a) if a
default occurs in the payment of any amounts due under this Note, whether at the
due date thereof or upon acceleration thereof;

       

      (b) if any
representation or warranty of the Company made herein shall prove to have been
false or misleading in any material respect when made;

       

      (c) if a
default occurs in the due observance or performance of any covenant, condition
or agreement on the part of the Company to be observed or performed pursuant to
any of the provisions of this Note and such default remains uncured for thirty
(30) days after written notice of default has been given to the Company by the
Payee specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied;

       

      (d) if the
payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money, including,
but not limited to, the Senior Obligations, is accelerated prior to the stated
maturity thereof or the holders of such Indebtedness exercise rights and
remedies resulting from a default in the Company's obligations with respect to
such Indebtedness;

       

      (e) if the
Company shall: (i) discontinue its business; (ii) apply for or consent

appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of it or any of its
property; (iii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debt as they mature;
(iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (v) file a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or an answer seeking
reorganization or an arrangement with creditors, or to take advantage of any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or
liquidation laws or statutes, or an answer admitting the material allegations of
a petition filed against it in any proceeding under any such law, or if
corporate action shall be taken for the purpose of effecting any of the
foregoing;

       

      (f)  if
there shall be filed against the Company an involuntary petition seeking
reorganization of the Company or the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or liquidator of the Company or a substantial part of its assets, or
any involuntary petition under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law
of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect (any of the foregoing
petitions being hereinafter referred to as an "Involuntary
Petition") which is not dismissed within sixth (60) days; or

       

      (g) if
there occurs any attachment of all or substantially all of the property of
the
Company, which shall not be discharged or bonded within sixty (60) days of the
date of such attachment;

       

      then,
upon each and every such Event of Default and during the continuance of any such
Event of Default, and, upon the action of the Payee (subject to the
subordination terms set forth in Section 12), this Note shall immediately become
due and payable upon written notice to the Company, both as to principal and
Interest, without presentment, demand or protest, all of which are hereby
expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except in the case of an Event of Default under subsections (e) or (f) of this
Section 9, in which event this Note shall automatically become due and payable).
In the event of an acceleration of this Note as a result of an Involuntary
Petition as specified in clause (f) of this Section 9, such acceleration shall
be rescinded, and the Company's rights hereunder reinstated, if, within sixty
(60) days following the filing of such Involuntary Petition, such Involuntary
Petition shall have been dismissed or stayed, and there shall exist no other
Event of Default under this Note and such Event of Default shall be deemed
cured.

       

      10.            Remedies on Default,
Etc. In the event that one or more Events of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Payee shall have the right, subject to the subordination
provisions set forth in Section 12, to exercise all rights and remedies under
this Note and/or under applicable law or equity, and may proceed to protect and
enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in
this Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof
or in or of the exercise of any power granted hereby or by law. No right
conferred upon the Payee hereby shall be exclusive of any other right referred
to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise.

       

      11.            Waivers by the
CompanyThe Company, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, waives presentment for payment, protest and demand, and notice of protest,
demand and/or dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, notice of any Event of
Default under this Note by the Company, and all other notices or demands
otherwise required by law that the Company may lawfully waive.

       

      12.            SubordinationThe
Payee hereby agrees, for itself and its successors, assigns
and transferees, that all its right, title and interest in and to the
Obligations, including the payment of any amount owed in respect hereof, shall
be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the rights of any lender (the
"Senior
Lender") in respect of the Senior Obligations owed to such Senior Lender,
including principal, premium (if any), interest (including interest accruing on
or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating
to the Company whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed or
allowable in any such proceedings), fees, charges, expenses, indemnities,
reimbursement obligations, guarantees and all other amounts payable thereunder
or in respect thereof. The Company and the Payee agree that no payment in
respect of the Obligations, whether as principal, interest or otherwise, and
whether in cash, securities or property (other than the accrual of interest as
provided herein) shall be made by or on behalf of the Company or received,
accepted or demanded by or on behalf of the Payee, except as permitted by the
Senior Obligations; provided, that
nothing shall prohibit the Payee from receiving, accepting or demanding payment
of all or any part of the Obligations from and after the indefeasible payment in
full of the Senior Obligations. In the event that any payment by, or on behalf
of, or distribution of the assets of, the Company shall be received by the Payee
at a time which such payment is prohibited by this Note, such payment or
distribution shall be held by the Payee in trust for the benefit of, and shall
forthwith be paid over to, the applicable Senior Lender.

       

      13.            Indemnification;
Expenses The Company shall, subject to the subordination terms set forth
in Section 12, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and in addition to any
such rights which any Indemnified Party (as defined below) may have pursuant to
statute or otherwise, indemnify and hold harmless the Payee (including any
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, heirs, successors or
assignees thereof, the "Indemnified
Parties") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses
and liabilities, joint or several, including any investigation, legal and other
expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding
or any claim asserted, to which they, or any of them, become subject as a result
of the execution and delivery of this Note or credit having been extended
hereunder, or in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated
hereunder, including any legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in
connection with the enforcement of this Note, except to the extent such losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise from the gross negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith of any Indemnified Party. The indemnification
provided for in this Section 13 will remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Parties. Subject to
the subordination terms set forth in Section 12, the Company shall pay all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Payee with respect
to the negotiation, execution and delivery of, any amendments, modifications or
waivers to, and performance of this Note and the agreements, documents and
instruments contemplated hereby or executed pursuant hereto, including the
reasonable legal fees and disbursements for the professional services of counsel
to the Payee. Subject to the subordination terms set forth in Section 12, upon
and after the date hereof, the Company shall pay all out-of-pocket costs
incurred by the Payee in connection with the enforcement of this Note, and the
agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby or executed pursuant
hereto.

       

      14.            Maximum Interest
Rate No provision of this Note or of any other document or
agreement executed in connection herewith shall require the payment or the
collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall
be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note or otherwise in connection with
the Loan evidenced hereby, the provisions of this Section 14 shall govern and
prevail and neither the Company nor the successors or assigns of the Company
shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess
sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto.
In the event the Payee ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such
sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of
the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and, if the principal of the Note has
been paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Company. In
determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Payee shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law (a) characterize any non-principal payment as
an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that
interest for the entire term does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law.

       

      15.            Amendments, Waivers and
ConsentsNo course of dealing between the Company
and the Payee and no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any
rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the rights hereof. Any changes in
or additions to, and any consents required by, or requests or demands made
pursuant to, this Note shall be made, and compliance with any term, covenant,
condition or provision set forth herein shall be omitted or waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
by a written instrument or instruments signed by the Payee and the
Company.

       

      16.            Survival of Covenants;
Assignability of RightsAll covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties of the Company made herein and to be performed prior to or on the
date hereof, and in the other written information delivered or furnished to the
Payee pursuant to the terms of this Note, shall bind the Company's successors
and assigns, whether so expressed or not, and, except as otherwise provided in
this Note, all such covenants, agreements, representations and warranties shall
insure to the benefit of the Payee's heirs, successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not. The Company may not assign its Obligations under this Note or
in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Payee. Each
successor, assignee or transferee of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees
to be bound by the provisions hereof, including without limitation the
subordination provisions set forth in Section 12.

       

      17.            Note Replacement Upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon delivery of indemnity satisfactory to the Company, or
in case of such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the
Company will issue a new note, or like tenor, in lieu, and dated the date, of
such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

       

      18.            GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION;

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. THE COMPANY HEREBY AGREES THAT
THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO
HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO
THIS NOTE, AND ALL DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS EXECUTED PURSUANT
HERETO, OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED BY THE PAYEE IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS, AND
AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY
BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS
SET FORTH ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE HERETO. THE COMPANY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT
AMARILLO, TEXAS IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF
VENUE. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 18 SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO
PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM OR THE TAKING OF
ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE
JURISDICTION.

       

      19.             Section

Beneficiaries The parties acknowledge and agree that there are no
intended third party beneficiaries to this Note, including, without limitation,

possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Note shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such
provision or the other provisions of this Note.

and any other instruments, documents or agreements executed or delivered
herewith on the date hereof, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes
all other prior agreements and understandings, both written or oral, among the
Company and the Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof. THIS NOTE AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS

NOTE

      

      $30,000                                                                                      Cornelius,
North Carolina

      February 4, 2010

      

      

              FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Natural Shrimp Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), promise to pay to JPF Securities Law, LLC, a
Nevada limited liability company (the "Lender"), the principal amount of THIRTY
THOUSAND ($30,000) DOLLARS, together with interest at the rate of six percent
(6%) per annum until paid.   All principal and interest, together
with any and all costs and expenses provided for under this Note, shall be due
and payable in full within ONE YEAR from the date hereof (the "Maturity
Date").

      

      Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year as applicable
and actual days lapsed.  All interest due and payable hereunder which
is not paid when due for any reason shall be cumulated and accrue interest at
the rate hereunder.

      

              1.     This
Promissory Note (the “Note”) is issued to the Lender in connection with the
legal services provided to the Borrower for a going public
transaction.

      

              2.     Payment
under this Note shall be made to the Lender, in lawful money of the United
States of America and in immediately available funds delivered to the Lender at
the offices of the Lender at its then principal place of business or at such
other place as the Lender or any holder hereof shall designate in writing for
such purpose from time to time. If the payment under this Note otherwise would
become due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, and interest shall be payable thereon during such extension. All
amounts due under this Note shall be payable without defense, set off or
counterclaim.

      

              3.     Payment
under this Note shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the payment of
interest on the Note; (ii) to the payment of costs and expenses which the
Borrower is required to pay pursuant to the provisions of this Note; (iii) to
the payment of outstanding principal.

      

              4.     This
Note may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, at any time upon not less than
five (5) days written notice of the Borrower's intention to make any such
prepayment, which notice shall specify the date of such prepayment.

      

              5.     Upon
the occurrence of any of the following (each an "Event of Default"), all unpaid
principal, accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder shall, at the
option of the Lender, and, in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to (a),
(b) or (c) below, automatically, be immediately due, payable and collectible by
the Lender pursuant to applicable law. The Lender shall have all rights and may
exercise any remedies available to it under law, successively or concurrently.
The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Lender shall have the
right to offset any obligations of the Borrower hereunder against other amounts
that may be payable to the Borrower by the Lender:

      

              (a)   Failure
to make the principal or interest payment by the due date (whether by
acceleration or otherwise);

      

              (b)
The Borrower commences or proposes to commence any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement or adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or
liquidation or similar proceeding under any federal, state or other law for the
relief of debtors (an "Insolvency Proceeding"); The Borrower fails to obtain the
dismissal, within thirty (30) days after the commencement thereof, of any
Insolvency Proceeding instituted by one or more third parties, fails actively to
oppose any such Insolvency Proceeding, or, in any such Insolvency Proceeding,
defaults or files an answer admitting the material allegations upon which such
Insolvency Proceeding was based or alleges its willingness to have an order for
relief entered;

      

              (c)  Any
receiver, trustee or custodian is appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction
to take possession of all or any substantial portion of the assets of the
Borrower, the holder of this Note may, at its option, without notice to or
demand upon the Borrower or any other party, declare immediately due and payable
the entire principal balance hereof together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, plus any other amounts then owing pursuant to this Note,
whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable; provided that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (ii) above, the unpaid principal
amount hereof shall become immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest of notice of any kind in connection with this Note. In addition,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall thereafter accrue on
the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note at the rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum (on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed) or the highest amount legally permissible. On each anniversary of
the date of any Event of Default, all interest which has become payable and is
then delinquent shall, without curing the default under this Note by reason of
such delinquency, be added to the principal amount due under this Note, and
shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is applicable to principal,
with interest on overdue interest to bear interest, in each case to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, both before and after default, maturity,
foreclosure, judgment and the filing of any petition in a bankruptcy proceeding.
In no event shall interest be charged under this Note which would violate any
applicable law. If the rate of interest provided for herein would otherwise
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then the interest rate
shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law;

      

              6.     No
waiver or modification of any of the terms of this Note shall be valid or
binding unless set forth in a writing specifically referring to this Note and
signed by a duly authorized officer of the Lender or any holder of this Note,
and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.

      

              7.     If
any default occurs in any payment due under this Note, the Borrower and all
guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors and assigns, promise to
pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by each holder
hereof in collecting or attempting to collect the indebtedness under this Note,
whether or not any action or proceeding is commenced. None of the provisions
hereof and none of the holder's rights or remedies under this Note on account of
any past or future defaults shall be deemed to have been waived by any
indulgence granted by the holder to the Borrower.

      

              8.     The
Borrower and all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors and
assigns, hereby waive presentment, demand, diligence, protest and notice of
every kind, and agree that, they shall remain liable for all amounts due under
this Note notwithstanding any extension of time or change in the terms of
payment of this Note granted by any holder hereof, any change, alteration or
release of any property now or hereafter securing the payment hereof or any
delay or failure by the holder hereof to exercise any rights under this Note.
The Borrower and all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors and
assigns, hereby waive the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a
defense to a demand under this Note to the full extent permitted by
law.

      

              9.   This
Note shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, its successors and assigns and
shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the
Borrower. Each reference herein to powers or rights of the Lender shall also be
deemed a reference to the same power or right of such assignees, to the extent
of the interest assigned to them.

      

              10.   In
the event that any one or more provisions of this Note shall be held to be
illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the same shall not affect any other
provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain in
full force and effect.

      

              11.   This
Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to
conflicts of law; provided, that the Lender and each holder hereof reserves any
and all rights it may have under federal law, including without limitation those
relating to the charging of interest.

      

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has
caused this Promissory Note to be duly executed the day and year first above
written.
