FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Energy Management Capital, Inc., at the address listed below (the “Holder”) the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (US $250,000), on or prior to the Maturity Date and to pay interest to the Holder on the principal sum at a flat rate of 12% of the principal amount of the Note with an option for prepayment provided herein the Agreement. Interest shall accrue immediately and be fully calculated commencing on the Original Issuance Date.

If at any time after the Original Issuance Date an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder shall be entitled to remedies under Section 2 hereof. This is not a Public Offering and is being offered to accredited investors only.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
