TLP INVESTMENTS PROMISSORY NOTE


 


December 31, 2013


Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


$195,500


 


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FOCUS VENTURE PARTNERS,
INC (the “Maker”) hereby promises to pay TLP Investments (the “Payee”), at such place as Payee may, from
time to lime, designate, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($195,500) in lawful money
of the United States promptly on or before December 31, 2014.


 


Let it be known that in 2012 certain payments
were made on behalf of the Maker by Payee for continuing operations of the Maker. Such payments were in the form of credit card
charges, direct to vendor payments and miscellaneous other expenditures, which were documented with receipts provided to Maker
and to be reimbursed by the Maker.


 


Furthermore, it is anticipated that Payee
may (but is under no requirement to) make further payments of the above described types and kinds at the request of and on behalf
of Maker in the future. To the extent that Payee does make such payments, the amount of such payments shall be added to the Principal
amount of this Note and shall be repaid according to the terms of this Note. Maker and Payee agree to amend this Note from time
to time to reflect any such additional payments to be added to the Principal balance.


 


Interest. Maker further promises
to pay simple interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of 6% per annum, such interest to be paid at maturity. Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year and actual days elapsed.


 


Payment Schedule. This Note
shall be paid in according to the following payment schedule unless otherwise modified in writing by the Maker:


 


		a.	Initial Principal payment due on or before February 1, 2013 equal to the sum of $17,772.73



 


		b.	Monthly Payments for 10 months following the initial payment should be equal to not less than $17,772.73. All such payments
shall be applied directly to principal balance; and



 


		c.	Balance of accrued interest shall be paid in balloon payment at the twelfth (12th) month and shall be equal to not less than
$6,842.50.



 


Prepayment. Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, the Maker shall be entitled to prepay the principal or any interest of this Note from time to time
and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. All payments and prepayments made hereunder shall be applied
first to accrued interest, if any, and then to principal.

Late Charge for Overdue Payments.
If the Payee has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of ten (10) calendar days after the date it is
due, Maker shall pay a late charge to the Borrower. The amount of the late charge will be ten percent (10%) of the overdue payment
of Principal and interest, but in no event shall said amount be less than $100.00. Maker shall pay this late charge promptly but
only once on each late payment.


 


Default. Maker shall be in default
if any of the following events occur:


 


		a.	If Maker does not pay the full amount of each monthly payment when it is due.



 


		b.	If Maker does not pay the full amount due at Maturity.



 


		c.	If Maker breaches any other terms of this Note or Maker fails to perform any obligation of Maker under the Note and such default
continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Payee to Maker; provided that if such default shall reasonably require
longer than ten (10) days to cure, if Maker shall fail to commence to cure within such time and to diligently and continuously
prosecute the curing of the breach to completion within thirty (30) days after such written notice from Maker to Payee. In no event
shall any such default be uncured after thirty (30) days unless approved in writing by Payee.



 


		d.	If Maker fails to comply with any Federal, State or Local income or other tax or requirement.



 


		e.	If Maker fails to comply with any Federal, State or Local law, code, regulation or requirement.



 


		f.	Maker becomes insolvent (however defined or evidenced), committing the act of bankruptcy, making an assignment for the benefit
of creditors or making or sending a notice of intended bulk transfer, or is a meeting of creditors is convened or a committee of
creditors is appointed for, or any petition or proceeding for any relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment
of debt, receivership, liquidation or dissolution law or statute now or hereinafter in effect (whether at law or in equity) is
filed or commenced by or against Maker or any property of Maker, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee for Maker or any property
of Maker.



 


No Waiver. No waiver of any
breach or any term of this Note shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that term or any other term of the same
or different nature; and there shall be no binding modification of this Note except in writing executed by Payee.


 


Remedies Cumulative. Upon the
occurrence of a default, the entire unpaid balance of Principal (including any additional payments (as described above) paid by
Payee to or on behalf of Maker which shall be added to the principal hereof pursuant to the terms of this Note), together with
all accrued interest thereon, and all other sums due and owing under this Note, at the option of Payee, shall become immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand or further action of any kind. Even if, at a time when Maker is in default, the Payee
does not require it to pay immediately in full as described above, the Payee will still have the right to do so at a later date
(or if Maker is in default at a later time). The Payee can exercise all the remedies it has under this Note at the same time.

Default Rate of Interest. Upon
a default, Payee may begin accruing interest on the unpaid Principal balance at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate provided
for above plus five percent (5%); provided, however, that no interest shall accrue hereunder in excess of the maximum rate of interest
then allowed by law. Maker agrees to pay such accrued interest on demand. The default rate of interest set forth herein is strictly
a measure of liquidated damages to the Payee and is not meant to be construed as a penalty.


 


Payment of Note Holder’s Costs
and Expenses. If the Payee has required Maker to pay immediately in full, the Payee will have the right to be paid back
by Maker for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses
include, for example, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses.
