|Principal Amount: $358,000.00 |  | Interest Rate: 7.750% |  | Date of Note: November 19, 2004



PROMISE TO PAY. Thanksgiving
Coffee Company, Inc. (Borrower) promises to pay to Savings Bank of Mendocino County (Lender), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Three Hundred Fifty-eight Thousand & 00/100
Dollars ($358,000.00), together with interest at the rate of 7.750% per annum on the unpaid principal balance from November 19, 2004, until paid in full.



PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in 59 regular payments of $4,307.02 each and one irregular last payment estimated at $217,987.40. Borrowers first
payment is due January 1, 2005, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Borrowers final payment will be due on December 1, 2009, and will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid.
Payments include principal and interest. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; and then to any late charges. Interest on this Note is computed on a
365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over the number of days in a year (366 during leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the
principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lenders address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.



PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not
be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest
charge of $100.00. Other than Borrowers obligation to pay any minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing,
relieve Borrower of Borrowers obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrowers making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send
Lender payments marked paid in full, without recourse, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated
to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes payment in full of the amount owed or that is
tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Savings Bank of Mendocino County, 200 N SCHOOL ST UKIAH, CA 95482.



LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged $10.00.



INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, the total sum due under this Note
will bear interest at the interest rate on this Note.



DEFAULT. Each of
the following shall constitute an event of default (Event of Default) under this Note:



Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.



Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition
contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.



Environmental Default. Failure of any party to comply with or perform
when due any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any environmental agreement executed in connection with any loan.



False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrowers behalf under this Note or
the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.



Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrowers existence as a going business, the insolvency of
Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrowers property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
Borrower.



Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.
Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a
garnishment of any of Borrowers accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis
of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by
Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.



Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantors estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under
the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.



Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.



Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrowers financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance
of this Note is impaired.



Cure Provisions. If any
default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same

transfer of any beneficial interest in or to any land trust holding title to the Real Property, or by any other method of conveyance of an interest in the Real Property. If any Borrower is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company,
transfer also includes any change in ownership of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as the case may be, of such Borrower. However, this option shall not be

judicial action arising from or relating to this Note or any related agreement, transaction or conduct, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise; Judicial Reference. Where an action is pending before a court of any judicial district of the
State of California, Borrower and Lender shall each have the right to require that all questions of fact or law be submitted to general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and any successor statutes thereto.
(1) A single referee who is a retired superior court judge shall be appointed by the court pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 640 and shall preside over the reference proceeding. If Borrower and Lender do not agree upon the referee, each of them
may submit to the court up to three nominees who are retired superior court judges. (2) If Borrower and Lender do not agree on how the payment of the referees fees and expenses will be shared, the court may apportion such fees and expenses
between Borrower and Lender in a fair and reasonable manner that is consistent with Code of Civil Procedure Section 645.1. (3) Borrower and Lender shall be entitled to discovery, and the referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery
orders in the same manner as any trial court judge. (4) The referees statement of decision shall contain written findings of fact and conclusions of law, and the court shall enter judgment thereon pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections
644(a) and 645. The decision of the referee shall then be appealable as if made by the court. No provision of this section shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help remedies, to foreclose against or sell any real or personal property
collateral or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, such as injunctive relief or appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any reference proceeding. The exercise of a remedy
does not waive the right of either party to resort to reference, Jury Trial Waiver. In any action pending before any court of any jurisdiction, Borrower waives, and Lender shall not have, any right to a jury trial. ATTORNEYS FEES, in any
action arising from or relating to this Note and subject to any limits under applicable law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1717. Whether or not an action is
