	Louisville, Kentucky


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Industrial Services of America, Inc., a Florida corporation (hereinafter referred to as "maker"), with its principal office located at 7100 Grade Lane, Louisville, KY 40213 hereby promises and agrees to pay, for value received, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, on or before the maturity date, to the order of 7100 Grade Lane, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, (hereinafter referred to as "lender"), with an office located at 325 W. Main Street, Suite 250, Louisville KY 40202 the principal amount of Three Hundred Forty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Eight Dollars 00/100 ($345,808.00) and any other charges, including, without limitation, late and/or service charges, in lawful money of the United States of America. This note shall not bear interest unless a payment is not timely made. In the event of a nonpayment within the requisite time frame, interest shall accrue at eight percent (8%) per annum on the entire balance of the this note until the full balance is paid (excluding the October 1, 2017 payment which is being made concurrently with the delivery of this  note). 

This note shall be paid according to the following schedule: One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) of principal due on October 1, 2017 and six (6) consecutive payments of principal beginning November 1, 2017 and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through and including April 1, 2018 with each payment in the amount of Forty Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars. ($40,968). All payments received by lender from the maker for application to the amount outstanding hereunder may be applied to the maker’s obligations hereunder in such order as determined by lender. In any event, lender shall have no obligation to advance, and maker shall have no right to reborrow, any amounts so repaid. All payments of any sums due under this note shall be made in immediately available funds to lender at the address for lender first set forth in this note to the attention of Orson Oliver, manager of 7100 Grade Lane, LLC or to such other person or at such other address as may be designated in writing by the holder of this promissory note. If any required payment is more than Five (5) days late (excluding the October 1 payment which is being made concurrently with the delivery of this note), then at lender’s option, lender will assess, and maker agrees to pay, a late payment charge of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00).

It is understood and agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this note: (A) the failure to pay or perform any obligations hereunder as and when due (whether at maturity or by acceleration, and with no prior demand therefor by lender being necessary except to the extent, if any, required under the express terms of the agreement, note, or instrument governing such default); (B) death of maker or of any guarantor of this note (if an individual), or a proceeding being filed by or commenced against maker or any guarantor of this promissory note for dissolution or liquidation, or maker or any guarantor of this note voluntarily or involuntarily terminating or dissolving or being terminated or dissolved, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the maker or of any guarantor of this note; (C) insolvency of, business failure of, the appointment of a custodian, trustee, liquidator, or receiver for or for any of the property of, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors by or the filing of a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor's relief law, or for any readjustment of indebtedness, composition, or extension by or against maker or any guarantor of this note; (D) any attachments, liens, or additional security instruments being placed upon the property which is security, if any, for this promissory note, except to the extent permitted under the express terms of any security document for this promissory note; or (E) lender determining that any representation, covenant or warranty made by maker or any guarantor of this note to lender is, or was at the time made, untrue or materially misleading.

Whenever there is a default under this promissory note the entire balance of this promissory note shall, at the option of lender, become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, notice, protest, or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by maker). No failure or delay on the part of lender, and no course of dealing between maker and lender, shall operate as a waiver of such power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. Failure of the holder of this promissory note to exercise any of its rights and remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at that or any other time. All rights and remedies of the holder for default under this promissory note shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time shall be of the essence in the payment of this promissory note and the performance of maker’s other obligations under this promissory note.

If there is any default under this promissory note, and this promissory note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or is collected through any court, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy court, maker promises to pay to the holder hereof its reasonable attorney fees and court costs incurred in collecting or attempting to collect or securing or attempting to secure this promissory note or enforcing the holder's rights in any collateral securing this promissory note, provided the same is legally allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky or any state where the collateral or part thereof is situated.

If any one or more of the provisions of this promissory note, or the applicability of any such provision to a specific situation, shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable, and the validity and enforceability of all other provisions of this promissory note and all other applications of any such provision shall not be affected thereby. In the event such provision(s) cannot be modified to make it or them enforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision(s) of this promissory note shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this promissory note.

Maker and any other party who may become primarily or secondarily liable for any of the obligations of maker hereunder hereby waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and nonpayment, and further waive all exemptions to which they may now or hereafter be entitled under the laws of this or any other state or of the United States, and further agree that the holder of this promissory note shall have the right, without notice, to deal in any way, at any time, with maker, or any guarantor of this promissory note or with any other party who may become primarily, secondarily or otherwise liable for any of the obligations of maker under this promissory note without waiving any rights the holder of this promissory note may have hereunder or by virtue of the laws of this state or any other state of the United States. Lender may assign, pledge or otherwise transfer this promissory note or any of its rights or powers under this promissory note without notice, with all or any of the obligations owing to lender by maker, and in such event the assignee shall have the same rights as if originally named herein in place of lender. Maker may not assign this promissory note or any benefit accruing to it hereunder without the express written consent of the lender.

By signing this promissory note, maker acknowledges reading, understanding and agreeing to all its provisions and receipt thereof.
