For Value Received (this “Note”), Breathe eCig Corp.

1. Principal Repayment.  The entire principal amount of this Note shall be due and paid no later than March 31, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”).  All payments under this Note shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to the outstanding principal.


 


2. Interest Rate, Default Interest and Late Payment.  Maker further promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full as set forth in Section 1 of this Note, which interest shall be payable at the rate of four and one-half percent (4.5%) per annum and shall be due on the Maturity Date.  From the date of the Event of Default then the default interest shall be payable at nine percent (9%) per annum.


 


3. Event of Default.  Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder:


 


(a)           Maker fails to pay timely any of the principal amount due under this Note or any accrued interest or other amounts due under this Note within five (5) business days of the date the same becomes due and payable.


 


(b)           Maker files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or


 


(c)           An involuntary petition is filed against Maker (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within ninety (90) days) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of Maker.


 




  





  











  




 




Upon an Event of Default, all amounts due and payable not otherwise paid under this Note shall immediately become due and payable.


 


4. Assignment and Termination.  Note Holder may assign this Note at any time after the date hereof.  Maker may not assign its obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of Note Holder.


 


5. Notices.


 


Any and all notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given to the addresses first set forth above or as otherwise provided in writing by either party to the other.


 


6. Miscellaneous.


 


If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday under the laws of the State of Nevada, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.


 


Upon payment in full of all aggregate unpaid principal and interest payable hereunder, this Note shall be surrendered to Maker for cancellation.


 


Maker waives presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, and notice of dishonor.  No delay on the part of Note Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right under this Note.  This Note is being delivered in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.  Acceptance of a partial payment shall not act as a cure or waiver of any default but shall be applied as provided in this Note.


 


If the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof is collected at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, Maker agree to pay, in addition to the principal and interest payable hereon, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Note Holder.


 


The validity and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.  The parties agree that any action or proceeding commenced under or with respect to this Note shall be brought only in the county or district courts of City and County of Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee, and the parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any right to alter or change venue, including by removal.
