Exhibit 10.1

REGIONAL DEVELOPER DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

This Regional Developer Deposit Agreement (“Agreement’) is entered into between
ESIO Franchising, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“ESIO”) and Tempco,
Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“TEMO”) as of April 12, 2012 (“Effective Date”). The
parties have agreed as follows:

1.           RECITALS.

1.1         ESIO Business. ESIO holds a license for the manufacture and
marketing of certain beverage dispensing products and has the right to franchise
others to market them. The franchising aspects of the ESIO business are
described in ESIO’s 2011 Franchise Disclosure Document dated October 11, 2011
(“the 2011 FDD”), as amended and updated in ESIO’s proposed 2012 Franchise
Disclosure Document (the “2012 FDD”), copies of which have been delivered to
TEMO and incorporated herein as Schedule 1.1.  

1.2         Purpose of the Agreement.  TEMO desires to acquire the option to
purchase Regional Developer Franchises (as described in the FDD) covering the
eleven (11) areas listed and described on Schedule 1.2 attached hereto
(“Optioned Areas”).  ESIO is willing to grant TEMO exclusive rights to the
Optioned Areas subject to certain terms and conditions. The exigencies of the
business situation are such as to make it expedient for the parties to enter
into the instant Agreement before negotiating and entering into a more complete
Regional Developer Franchise Agreement (“RDFA”) with respect to one or more
Optioned Areas.  It is understood that TEMO will disclose this Agreement to
prospective investors pending any exercise by TEMO of an option for an Optioned
Area and the execution of the RDFA for such Optioned Area.  It is further
understood that upon the execution of the RDFA for an Optioned Area, the RDFA
will govern and control the parties’ obligations for such Optioned Area, to the
extent it is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, but the
options for other Optioned Areas will continue, subject to the terms of this
Agreement.  The parties further understand and agree that TEMO shall have no
obligation to exercise an option to acquire a Regional Developer Franchise for
any Optioned Area or enter into an RDFA for any Optioned Area and that ESIO’s
sole remedy in this Agreement shall be to retain the Deposit Fee described in
Section 2.2.

1.3         Applicability of Securities Laws.  It is understood that (i) the
securities of TEMO are registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (“1934 Act”), that TEMO plans to seek funds to finance the transactions
contemplated from private investors and will from time to time file registration
statements under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) and similar state
statutes and (ii) that it is therefore required to disclose facts material to
its business both to private investors and to the public by way of reports to
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is further understood that
TEMO must perforce rely on information furnished by ESIO in making such
disclosures. ESIO understands that it is unlawful in connection with any
securities transaction or any report to the SEC to make any false or fraudulent
statement or to fail to make, in the light of the circumstances in which made,
any disclosure necessary to make the disclosures made not misleading.  

1.4         Modification of Standard ESIO Franchise Agreement.  It is understood
that ESIO’s standard RFDA contemplates that franchisees will be individuals or
closely-held private companies. It is further understood that many of its
provisions are not appropriate for publicly held companies such as TEMO.
 Accordingly, it is agreed that any RFDA executed pursuant to this Agreement
will not: require any personal guarantees, contain any restrictions on change in
control, contain any restrictions on any business or other activity by TEMO
shareholder as such, contain any restrictions on the right to TEMO to enter into
any business combination provided that the surviving entity in such combination
assumes TEMO’s obligations under any RFDA or contain any provision allowing ESIO
to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any RFDA, without TEMO’s
consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

2.           SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS.

Subject to the understandings and agreements set forth above, the parties
specifically agree as provided below in this Article 2.

2.1         Option to Purchase of Regional Development Franchises.  In
consideration of all of the provisions of this Agreement, ESIO grants TEMO an
option to purchase Regional Development Franchises in the Optioned Areas
described in Schedule 1.2 attached hereto within the time periods set forth
therein (“Option Periods”).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2         Deposit Fee.  As a condition to ESIO’s obligations to sell Developer
Franchises as contemplated by this Agreement, TEMO shall (a) pay to ESIO a
non-refundable deposit fee in the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000)
(“Deposit Fee”) and (b) issue to ESIO a warrant in the form shown by Exhibit
2.2(b) attached hereto, for the purchase of up to one million (1,000,000) shares
of the common stock of TEMO exercisable for a period of five years from the
Effective Date at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.  The Deposit Fee may be
applied as ESIO sees fit; provided, however, that unless this Agreement is
terminated as provided in Section 5 below, forty-seven thousand five hundred
dollars ($47,500.00) of the Deposit Fee will be credited against the amounts
payable for the purchase of Regional Developer rights to the Optioned Areas.  

2.3         Deferred Development Obligations.  ESIO will not, during any
respective Option Period, offer or accept any offers for Regional Developer
rights in the Optioned Areas.  ESIO may however, in its sole discretion, offer
or accept an offer for franchise rights in the Optioned Areas; provided that
upon the execution of an RDFA in an Optioned Area, TEMO shall thereafter be
entitled to any rights (and subject to the obligations) of a Regional Developer
with respect to such franchise.  It is the intention of the parties that the
RDFA for each of the first six numbered Optioned Areas as set forth on Schedule
1.2 will be amended to provide for deferred development obligations as follows:

 

July 1, 2013

Begin Operations for first exercised Optioned Area

 

 

 

 

July 1, 2014

Begin Operations for second exercised Optioned Area

 

 

 

 

October 1, 2014

Begin Operations for third exercised Optioned Area

 

 

 

 

July 1, 2015

Begin Operations for fourth exercised Optioned Area

 

 

 

 

April 1, 2016

Begin Operations for fifth exercised Optioned Area

 

 

 

 

January 1, 2017

Begin Operations for sixth exercised Optioned Area

With respect to the additional five (5) regions located in the state of
California, the Development obligations shall be as set forth in the pertinent
RDFA unless otherwise agreed between the parties at the time such RDFA is
executed.

3.           ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS BY TEMO.

3.1         Delivery of FDD.  ESIO transmitted the 2011 FDD to TEMO at least 14
calendar days prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement.  TEMO has returned
to ESIO a signed copy of the Acknowledgment of Receipt of the FDD that is dated
no less than fourteen (14) calendar days from the Effective Date of this
Agreement. TEMO received a complete copy of this Agreement at least seven (7)
business days prior to the date on which this Agreement was executed and/or TEMO
paid the Deposit Fee.  TEMO acknowledges that ESIO is in the process of updating
the 2011 FDD, and the 2012 FDD will become effective on April 30, 2012.  Prior
to the signing of each RFDA, ESIO will disclose (and TEMO will acknowledge
receipt of) the then-current Franchise Disclosure Document applicable to each
RFDA.

3.2         Contingent on Regional Developer Agreement.   ESIO’s acceptance of
the Deposit Fee does not constitute the grant of any rights to operate ESIO
Regional Developer franchise(s) and that such rights may only be granted through
a RDFA that has been duly executed by both ESIO and TEMO and payment of the full
Development Fee specified therein.

3.3         No Financial Results.  ESIO has made no representation regarding the
financial results which TEMO may attain as an ESIO Regional Developer.

3.4         Review of FDD and Related Agreements.  TEMO has received, read and
understood ESIO’s 2011 and 2012 FDD, this Agreement, the RDFA and the Franchise
Agreement and related attachments and agreements and that ESIO has afforded TEMO
sufficient time and opportunity to consult with advisors selected by TEMO about
the potential benefits and risks of entering into this Agreement.  TEMO has
conducted an independent investigation of the business venture contemplated by
this Agreement, the RDFA and the Franchise Agreement and recognize that the
success of this business venture involves substantial business risks and will
largely depend upon TEMO’s ability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.5         No Warranties or Guaranties.  NO REPRESENTATIONS, PROMISES,
GUARANTIES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND ARE MADE BY ESIO TO INDUCE TEMO TO SIGN
THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT THOSE SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. TEMO
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ESIO HAS MADE NO PROMISES OR WARRANTIES TO TEMO CONCERNING THE
APPROPRIATENESS OF THE SECURED AREAS FOR THE ESIO BUSINESS OR CONCERNING THE
PROFITABILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS OF TEMO’S ESIO BUSINESS.

4.           CONFIDENTIALITY.

4.1         Confidential Information.  In connection with TEMO’s ongoing
discussions with ESIO, ESIO may disclose to TEMO certain confidential and
proprietary information of a non-public nature (the “Confidential Information”).
The confidentiality provisions of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, provided that TEMO may disclose or produce such
Confidential Information if it is compelled or required by a subpoena, court
order, the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, applicable federal and state securities laws
or other legal requirements.

4.2         Disclosure.  In consideration of such disclosures, TEMO agrees that
any and all Confidential Information, whether written or oral, including all
data, books, equipment, materials, reports or other information developed by
ESIO or its affiliates prior to or during any discussion with TEMO, that is made
available to TEMO or that TEMO obtains or TEMO has access to by any means, shall
be held and treated by TEMO, TEMO’s agents and employees as a trade secret of
ESIO and in the strictest confidence.  Subject to the provision of Section 4.1
that TEMO may disclose or produce such Confidential Information if it is
compelled or required by a subpoena, court order, the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
applicable federal and state securities laws or other legal requirements, the
Confidential Information shall not be disclosed in whole or in part by TEMO,
TEMO’s agents or employees in any manner whatsoever or used or reproduced for
any purposes other than for purposes directly connected with the discussions and
activities described in this Agreement.

4.3         Documents.  TEMO agrees that all documents and other materials
containing Confidential Information shall remain the property of ESIO at all
times and that TEMO shall account for and return to ESIO all documents, papers,
equipment, records, data, translations and other information provided by ESIO
under this Agreement, within three (3) days of the decision by TEMO and/or ESIO
not to proceed further with discussions concerning the operation of ESIO
Regional Developer territories as described in this Agreement, or upon ESIO’s
written request.

4.4         No License.  TEMO understands and agrees that no right or license is
granted to TEMO by ESIO in or to the name ESIO or any other trademark,
copyrights, patents, Confidential Information or other intellectual property of
ESIO, its affiliates, partners, licensors or others.  Further, TEMO agrees that
without limiting any other rights and remedies of ESIO, upon breach of this
Agreement, ESIO may exercise any and all remedies, including obtaining an
injunction to protect its rights under this Agreement.  If ESIO exercises any of
its legal or equitable remedies, TEMO will be responsible for any reasonable
attorneys’ fees or costs incurred by ESIO.

5.           TERMINATION.  ESIO may elect to terminate TEMO’s rights under this
Agreement for either of the following reasons:  (a) ESIO’s discovery that TEMO
had misstated or omitted any information required by ESIO or otherwise given to
ESIO in connection with TEMO’s securing ESIO Regional Developer rights pursuant
to this Agreement; or (b) TEMO’s failure to deliver to ESIO a signed ESIO RDFA
and the Development Fee associated with each Optioned Areas within the
applicable Option Period for such Optioned Area; provided, however, that such
failure shall result in the termination of rights only with respect to such
Optioned Area and will not affect TEMO’s rights with respect to other Optioned
Areas.  ESIO may extend any of the Option Periods, in our sole discretion, to
allow us to provide TEMO with Franchise Disclosure Documents and to comply with
required waiting periods.  The extension of the Option Period for these purposes
shall not be a waiver of any rights appurtenant to this Agreement.

6.            NO REFUND.  The parties understand that ESIO will incur expenses
and has reserved several metropolitan areas for TEMO in conjunction with this
Agreement. ESIO will earn the Deposit Fee whether or not TEMO ultimately is
granted any Regional Developer or franchise rights. The parties further
acknowledge that the amount of actual damages that would result if ESIO finds it
necessary to terminate this Agreement is uncertain and would be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Consequently, if ESIO elects to terminate this
Agreement, TEMO agrees that ESIO will be entitled to retain the Deposit Fee as
liquidated damages. TEMO understands that TEMO will not receive a refund under
any circumstances.
