The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note.  The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 3411 Indian Creek Drive, Suite 403, Miami Beach, FL 33140, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company.

Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

1.           This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

2.           The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

3.           This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable state securities laws.  Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void.  Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary.  Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.

4.           (a)           The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the requisite rule 144 holding period, and after full cash payment for the shares convertible hereunder, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") without restrictive legend of any nature, at a conversion price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for any of the ten trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to included the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion.  Once the Holder has received such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this Note or a specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank.  Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares while this note is eligible for conversion into free trading shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 45% instead of 55% while that “Chill” is in effect. The Holder will not short or maintain a short position in the stock of the Company while this Note is in effect.

(b)         Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum.  Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares").  The Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above.  The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

(c)         This Note may not be prepaid.

(d)         Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

(e)         In case of any Sale Event in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

5.           No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

6.           The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

7.           The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.

8.           If one or more of the following described "Events of Default" shall occur:

(a)         The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the Holder by the Company; or

(b)         Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any respect; or

(c)         The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note; or

(d)         The Company shall (1) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (2) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (3) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (4) file a petition for  bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or

(e)         A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within thirty (30) days after such appointment; or

(f)          Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or

(g)         One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

(h)         Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted voluntarily by or involuntarily against the Company; or

(i)          The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange (including the OTCBB exchange) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days;

(j)          defaulted on or breached any term of any other note of similar debt instrument into which the Company has entered and failed to cure such default within the appropriate grace period; or

(k)         The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion along with a proper and conforming legal opinion.

 

  

4

  

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.  Upon an Event of Default, interest shall be accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.  In the event of a breach of 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company.  This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day.

If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including without limitation engaging an attorney, then the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

9.           In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.         Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

11.         The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer.  Further. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a 144- 3(a)(9) opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion from Holder’s counsel.

12.         The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 525,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note and another $38,750 note of even date herewith (the “Share Reserve”). The reserve shall be replenished as needed to allow for conversions of this Note. The Holder will initially submit a conversion notice/request for a tranche of shares to be issued with an agreed to conversion price equal to $1000 (an “Initial Tranche Request”).  The shares that are the subject to the Initial Trance Request may be subsequently reconverted and repriced as follows: (i) the Holder shall immediately reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by $1,000 and simultaneously send to the Company a live” or “repriced” conversion notice for the $1,000 priced using the conversion formula set forth in Section 4(a) of this Note,  (ii) As the balance of the shares in the Initial Tranche Request are converted via the delivery of the “live” or “repriced” conversion notice,  the balance of the Note shall be reduced using the formula set forth in Section 4(a) of this Note, as if such shares had originally been converted as set forth in Section 4(a).  By way of example, if the Tranche Conversion Request was for 1,000,000 shares and the face amount of the Note was $25,000 the Holder would initially deduce $1,000 from the face amount leaving a balance of $24,000 and send the Company a repriced conversion notice deducting that number of shares from the Initial Tranche Request necessary to equal $1,000 using the formula set forth in Section 4(a).  Additionally, if, the following day, the Holder sent a “live” or “repriced” conversion notice to the Company for 25,000 shares and, using the formula set forth in Section 4(a) the true conversion price would have been $6,000, then the Holder shall make an additional reduction of $6,000 on the Note and shall indicate both the Note balance and the share reserve balance on the “live” conversion notice.  This process shall be repeated until there is no balance remaining outstanding on the Note.  Upon full conversion of this Note, the any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled.  The Company will be responsible for all costs associated with issuing the shares upon conversion of this Note.

 

13.         The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc.  This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.  The Company will email such notices to Goldy@pisc.us.

14.         This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto.  The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

(a)         The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the Holder by the Company; or

 

  

11

  

(b)         Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any respect; or

(c)         The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note; or

(d)         The Company shall (1) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (2) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (3) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (4) file a petition for  bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or

(e)         A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within thirty (30) days after such appointment; or

(f)          Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or

(g)         One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

(h)         Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted voluntarily by or involuntarily against the Company; or

(i)          The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange (including the OTCBB exchange) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days;

(j)          defaulted on or breached any term of any other note of similar debt instrument into which the Company has entered and failed to cure such default within the appropriate grace period; or

(k)         The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion along with a proper and conforming legal opinion.

 

  

12

  

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.  Upon an Event of Default, interest shall be accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.  In the event of a breach of 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company.  This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day.

If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including without limitation engaging an attorney, then the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

9.           In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.         Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

11.         The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer.  Further. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a 144- 3(a)(9) opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion from Holder’s counsel.

 

  

13

  

12.         The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 525,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note and another $38,750 note of even date herewith (the “Share Reserve”). The reserve shall be replenished as needed to allow for conversions of this Note. The Holder will initially submit a conversion notice/request for a tranche of shares to be issued with an agreed to conversion price equal to $1000 (an “Initial Tranche Request”).  The shares that are the subject to the Initial Trance Request may be subsequently reconverted and repriced as follows: (i) the Holder shall immediately reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by $1,000 and simultaneously send to the Company a live” or “repriced” conversion notice for the $1,000 priced using the conversion formula set forth in Section 4(a) of this Note,  (ii) As the balance of the shares in the Initial Tranche Request are converted via the delivery of the “live” or “repriced” conversion notice,  the balance of the Note shall be reduced using the formula set forth in Section 4(a) of this Note, as if such shares had originally been converted as set forth in Section 4(a).  By way of example, if the Tranche Conversion Request was for 1,000,000 shares and the face amount of the Note was $25,000 the Holder would initially deduce $1,000 from the face amount leaving a balance of $24,000 and send the Company a repriced conversion notice deducting that number of shares from the Initial Tranche Request necessary to equal $1,000 using the formula set forth in Section 4(a).  Additionally, if, the following day, the Holder sent a “live” or “repriced” conversion notice to the Company for 25,000 shares and, using the formula set forth in Section 4(a) the true conversion price would have been $6,000, then the Holder shall make an additional reduction of $6,000 on the Note and shall indicate both the Note balance and the share reserve balance on the “live” conversion notice.  This process shall be repeated until there is no balance remaining outstanding on the Note.  Upon full conversion of this Note, the any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled.  The Company will be responsible for all costs associated with issuing the shares upon conversion of this Note.

 

13.         The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc.  This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.  The Company will email such notices to Goldy@pisc.us.

14.         This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto.  The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

7.          REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.

7.1        Acceleration.  Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuation thereof (unless the principal of this Note shall already have become and be due and payable), the Holder, by notice in writing given to the Maker, may declare the principal and all accrued interest of the Note then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be due and payable immediately, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.  The principal and all accrued interest of the Note then outstanding shall automatically be accelerated and shall be due and payable immediately upon any Event of Default.

7.3        Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Holder as provided herein and in the Guaranty or Pledge Agreement shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately, successively or together against the Maker or any other collateral security for payment of amounts due hereunder, or any guarantor thereof, at the sole discretion of Holder, may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies conferred upon Holder at law or in equity.  The failure, at any one or more times, of Holder to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.  Holder shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate without the necessity of resorting to any collateral securing this Note.

8.           MISCELLANEOUS

8.1.       Integration.  This Note constitutes the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby and supersedes all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect thereto.

8.2.       Attorneys' Fees and Expenses.

8.3.       No Implied Waiver. Holder shall not be deemed to have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.  A waiver in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to such right or remedy on a subsequent event.  Maker acknowledges that Holder is not acting as Maker’s counsel in connection with entering into or performing this Note or in connection with any other matter, and that no attorney client relationship exists between the parties. Maker hereby releases, waives, and discharges Holder and Holder’s partners, employees, members, and agents from and against any and all claims and causes of action of any kind arising at any time.

8.4.       Partial Invalidity.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such provision and invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Note.
