May 6, 2010

Quebec, Canada

1.  Principal and Interest.

1.1 Kurrant Mobile Catering Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Theodore Argyrakis (the "Investor" or the "Holder") the sum of Twenty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($20,000.00), at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided.

1.2 This Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") shall bear interest from the date of issuance of this Note at the rate of 10% per annum. This Note shall be payable sixty (60) days from the date hereinabove written and upon demand ("Demand Date"). Commencing on the Demand Date, all principal and accrued interest hereunder shall be payable by the Company upon demand made by the Investor.  

1.3 Upon payment in full of the principal and accrued interest hereof, this Note shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

1.4 The principal and accrued interest of this Note shall be payable at the principal office of the Company and shall be forwarded to the address of the Holder hereof as such Holder shall from time to time designate.

2. Attorney's Fees. If the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof is collected in bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, the Company agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and accrued interest payable hereunder, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Investor.

3.  Conversion.

3.1 Voluntary Conversion. The Holder shall have the right, exercisable in whole or in part, to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest hereunder into a number of fully paid and non-assessable whole shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock ("Common Stock") determined in accordance with Section 3.2 below.

3.2 Shares Issuable. The number of whole shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be voluntarily converted ("Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal and accrued interest amount borrowed hereunder by $0.16 (the “Note Conversion Price”).  However, with the acceptance of the Board, a resolution can reduce the conversion price to par value, which is $0.001.   Furthermore, if the note holder converts the loan, he must remain under 9.99% shareholder. 

3.3 Notice and Conversion Procedures. After receipt of demand for repayment, the Company agrees to give the Holder notice at least five (5) business days prior to the time that the Company repays this Note. If the Holder elects to convert this Note, the Holder shall provide the Company with a written notice of conversion setting forth the amount to be converted. The notice must be delivered to the Company together with this Note. Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of such notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder certificate(s) for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and, if the entire principal amount together with accrued interest hereunder was not so converted, a new note representing such balance. 

3.4 Other Conversion Provisions. 

(a)Adjustment of Note Conversion Price. In the event the Company shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a reverse stock split and subdivision of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Note Conversion Price shall forthwith be adjusted by proportionately increasing the Note Conversion Price on the date that such subdivision shall become effective.  In the event the Company shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a forward stock split and subdivision of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Note Conversion Price shall forthwith be adjusted by proportionately decreasing the Note Conversion Price on the date that such subdivision shall become effective.

   

(b)Common Stock Defined. Whenever reference is made in this Note to the shares of Common Stock, the term "Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company authorized as of the date hereof, and any other class of stock ranking on a parity with such Common Stock. Shares issuable upon conversion hereof shall include only shares of Common Stock of the Company.

3.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal hereunder that is not so converted.
