		1.	Payments of Principal and Interest.











(a)            Payment of Principal and Interest.  This Note is secured by an interest in, among other things, franchise royalties pursuant to the Company’s various agreements with its franchisees, as further described in the Security Agreement.  The principal amount of this Note together with interest thereon shall be paid to the Holder on or prior to the Maturity Date at the rate of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each Combo Vending machine unit (each, a “Unit”) sold by the Company to franchisees, payable on a monthly basis (provided that the first monthly period shall begin on the date hereof, and shall end on November 31, 2015, and each successive monthly period shall begin on the first day of the applicable calendar month) within five (5) days following the end of each calendar month; provided, that at least Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) will be payable hereunder during each three-month period following the issuance hereof.1 Such payments will continue until such time as the Company remits Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) to the Holder (representing the sale of 600 Units).


(b)            Payment of Default Interest.  Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until such past due amount is paid at a rate of interest equal to four percent (4%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).


(c)            General Payment Provisions.  All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by bank check or wire transfer to such account as the Holder may designate by written notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day.

Upon prepayment of this Note in full, the Holder shall have no further rights under this Note (except for such rights that may specifically survive the payment of the Note).

(3)            Nonperformance. Any failure to perform or default in the performance of any nonmonetary covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Note or any other Loan Document, which failure to perform or default in performance continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Company receives notice or knowledge from any source of such failure to perform or default in performance (provided that if the failure to perform or default in performance is not capable of being cured, in Holder’s sole discretion, then the cure period set forth herein shall not be applicable and the failure or default shall be an immediate Event of Default hereunder).


(4)            Default under Loan Documents. Any failure to perform or default in the performance by the Company that continues after applicable grace and cure periods under any covenant, condition or agreement contained in any other Loan Document, all of which covenants, conditions and agreements are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by express reference.

(7)            Collateral Impairment. The entry of any judgment, decree, levy, attachment, garnishment or other process, or the filing of any lien against, any of the Collateral or any collateral under a separate security agreement securing any of the obligations hereunder, and such judgment or other process shall not have been, within thirty (30) days from the entry thereof: (i) bonded over to the satisfaction of Holder and appealed; (ii) vacated; or (iii) discharged, or the loss, theft, destruction, seizure or forfeiture, or the occurrence of any material deterioration or impairment of any of the Collateral or any of the Collateral under any security agreement securing any of the obligations hereunder, or any material decline or depreciation in the value or market price thereof (whether actual or reasonably anticipated), which causes the Collateral, in the sole opinion of Holder acting in good faith, to become unsatisfactory as to value or character, or which causes Holder to reasonably believe that it is insecure and that the likelihood for repayment of the obligations hereunder is or will soon be impaired, time being of the essence. The cause of such deterioration, impairment, decline or depreciation shall include, but is not limited to, the failure by the Company to do any act deemed reasonably necessary by Holder to preserve and maintain the value and collectability of the Collateral.


(8)            Other Note.  Any Event of Default (as defined therein) under that certain Secured Promissory Note, of even date herewith, evidencing an original principal obligation from Company to Holder in the amount of $250,000 (“Other Note”), which is also secured by the Security Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holder shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in this Note, the Security Agreement, and any other Loan Document, in any written agreement or instrument relating to any of the obligations or any security therefor, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holder may, at its option and without further notice, demand or presentment for payment to the Company or others, may declare the then outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all other sums due under the Note, including, without limitation, the amounts due under Section 1(a) above, immediately due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and thereafter all such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and all other sums due by the Company hereunder, all without any relief whatsoever from any valuation or appraisement laws and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to the Holder at law, in equity, under this Note, and/or any other Loan Document. No Event of Default shall be waived by Holder, except and unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder. No failure or delay on the part of Holder in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Holder to exercise any remedy available to Holder in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. The Company agrees that in the event that the Company fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Note, the Security Agreement, and/or any other Loan Document, at Holder’s option, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Holder, and further agrees that Holder shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

		10.	Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies of the Holder as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.






		11.	Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.

Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing.

		13.	Notice.  Notice shall be given to each party at the address indicated in the preamble hereto or at such other address as provided to the other party in writing.






		14.	Usury Savings Clause.  In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of such outstanding principal balance and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder of this Note may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the outstanding principal balance.  It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest that may be charged under applicable law.

		17.	Participations.  Holder may from time to time sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in this Note and/or the obligations evidenced hereby.  The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Holder and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Holder (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation); and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker’s lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to the Company (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation), in each case as fully as though the Company was directly indebted to such holder.  Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder and any attempt to do so shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
