FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Vapor Hub International Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (“Lender”), the principal sum of $245,000.00, together with all other amounts due under this Promissory Note (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”).




1.

PAYMENT. Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire outstanding balance of this Note on or before the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof. Borrower will make all payments of sums due hereunder to Lender at Lender’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs and late charges, then to accrued interest and finally to principal.

2.

INTEREST. Interest shall not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note unless an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Note shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, compounding daily and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, from the date due until paid.

3.

ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT; TRANSACTION EXPENSES. This Note carries an original issue discount of $40,000.00. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay $5,000.00 to Lender to cover Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note, all of which amounts are included in the initial principal balance of this Note and are fully earned and payable as of the date hereof (subject only to the prepayment discounts set forth in Section 4 below).

4.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments of less than all principal, fees and interest outstanding will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Should Borrower make any prepayment in accordance with the schedule set forth below, the amount payable shall be the amount set forth below under the heading “Prepayment Amount,” and upon Lender’s receipt of such amount, this Note shall be deemed paid in full notwithstanding the fact that such payment may be less than the initial outstanding balance of this Note:

Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 5(d) and 5(e), immediately and without notice, all outstanding unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any other right, power or remedy permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. For purposes hereof, the term “Mandatory Default Amount” means an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding balance of this Note as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred, plus all interest, fees, and charges that may accrue on such outstanding balance thereafter.

If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Lender otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note, then Borrower shall pay the costs incurred by Lender for such collection, enforcement or action including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

21.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, default interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.
