5% SECURED SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE


 


	$1,075,000	July 29, 2022


 


For value received, Smart
for Life, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to D&D HAYES, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company (the “Holder”), the principal sum of One Million Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,075,000) (the “Principal”)
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, each due and payable on the date and in the manner set forth below.


 


This secured subordinated
promissory note (the “Note”) is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as
of March 14, 2022, as amended by the First Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 29, 2022 (as so amended, the “Purchase
Agreement”), among the Company, Ceautamed Worldwide, LLC (the “Acquired Company”), the Holder and the other
Sellers party thereto. This Note is one of the Buyer Notes issued to the Sellers under the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.


 


The following is a statement
of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance
of this Note, agrees:


 


1. Principal
Repayment. The outstanding Principal amount of this Note and all accrued interest shall be amortized on a five-year straight-line
basis and payable quarterly in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth on Exhibit A to this Note (the “Amortization
Schedule”), provided that no such payment shall be made prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof (except to the extent
this Note is accelerated in accordance with the terms hereof, including Section 5), with all of the unpaid Principal and accrued, but
unpaid interest thereon being fully paid on the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”).
All payments of interest and Principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments in respect of the Buyer
Notes II shall be made pro rata among the holders of the Buyer Notes II based on the amounts due and owing under each of the Buyer Notes
II.


 




     


     


    

 


2. Interest.


 


(a) Interest
(the “Interest”) shall accrue on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof until such Principal is repaid in full at
the rate of five percent (5%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be paid in accordance with the Amortization
Schedule with all unpaid Interest being paid on the Maturity Date or the date of the redemption of this Note (or the acceleration of this
Note in accordance with its terms). All computations of the Interest rate hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.


 


(b) Notwithstanding
Section 2.2(a) above, during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined herein), Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal
at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus five percent (5%).


 


(c) In
the event that any Interest rate provided for herein shall be determined to be unlawful, such Interest rate shall be computed at the highest
rate permitted by applicable Law. Any payment by the Company of any Interest amount in excess of that permitted by applicable Law shall
be considered a mistake, with the excess being applied to the Principal of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty.


 


3. Redemption.
The Company will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date without premium or penalty
of any kind. The redemption price will be payable in cash and is equal to the then outstanding Principal amount of this Note plus accrued
but unpaid interest thereon. However, no partial redemption shall excuse or defer the Company’s subsequent payments on, or entitle
the Company to a release of any Collateral (as defined herein) used to secure, the unredeemed portion of this Note. Any partial redemption
shall be applied in inverse order to the last payments due and owing under this Note.


 


4.  Events
of Default. In the event that any of the following (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:


 


(a) Non-Payment.
The Company shall default in the payment of the Principal of, or accrued Interest on, this Note or any of the other Buyer Notes as and
when the same shall become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise; or


 


(b) Default
in Covenants. The Company or the Acquired Company, WWG or GFF (each of the Acquired Company, WWG and GFF, a “Guarantor”
and collectively, the “Guarantors”) shall default in any material manner in the observance or performance of any covenants
or agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Guaranty being executed by each Guarantor (each, a “Guaranty”)
in favor of the Sellers and the Collateral Agent (as defined herein), this Note or any of the other Buyer Notes; or


 


(c) Breach
of Representations and Warranties. The Company materially breaches any representation or warranty contained in the Purchase Agreement;
or


 


(d) Illegality
of Note. Any court of competent jurisdiction issues an order declaring this Note or any of the other Buyer Notes or any provision
hereunder or thereunder to be illegal; or


 




    2


     


    

 


(e) Cross
Default. There occurs with respect to any Senior Indebtedness (as defined herein): (i) a default with respect to any payment obligation
thereunder that then entitles the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity, or (ii)
any other default thereunder that entitles, and has caused, the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior
to its stated maturity.


 


(f) Bankruptcy.
The Company or any Guarantor shall: (i) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) apply for, consent to,
or acquiesce in, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for the Company, a Guarantor or any property
of the Company or a Guarantor, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) in the absence of such application, consent
or acquiesce in, permit or suffer to exist the appointment of a trustee, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for the Company, a
Guarantor or any property of the Company or a Guarantor; or (iv) permit or suffer to exist the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization,
debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution, winding up or liquidation proceeding,
in respect of the Company or any Guarantor, and, if such case or proceeding is not commenced by the Company or any Guarantor or converted
to a voluntary case, such case or proceeding shall be consented to or acquiesced in by the Company or any Guarantor or shall result in
the entry of an order for relief or shall not be dismissed within thirty (30) days following its filing;


 


then, and so long as such Event of Default is
continuing for a period of two (2) business days in the case of non-payment under Section 4(a) or for a period of thirty (30) calendar
days in the case of events under Sections 4(b) through 4(c) or for a period of five (5) calendar days in the case of an event under Sections
4(d) through 4(e) (and the event which would constitute such Event of Default, if curable, has not been cured), by written notice to the
Company from the Holder, all obligations of the Company under this Note shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or any other action nor obligation of the Holder of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and Holder may exercise
any other remedies the Holder may have by contract, at law or in equity. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4(f) above occurs,
the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Note shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of any
Holder, become immediately due and payable and Holder may exercise any other remedies the Holder may have by contract, at law or in equity.
If the Purchase Agreement is assigned by the Company pursuant to the terms thereof, for purposes of this Section 4, “Company”
shall be deemed to include such assignee.


 


5. Change
of Control. In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control with respect to the Company or any Guarantor (each of the Company
and each Guarantor, a “Specified Entity”), all obligations of the Company under this Note shall be immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other action nor obligation of the Holder of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived, and Holder may exercise any other remedies the Holder may have by contract, at law or in equity. The Company shall notify
the Holder, in writing, at least three (3) days prior to a Change of Control. The term “Change of Control” means the
occurrence of any of the following in one or a series of related transactions: (i) an acquisition after the date hereof by an individual
or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the voting rights
or equity interests in a Specified Entity; (ii) a replacement of more than 50% of the members of the board of directors of the Company;
(iii) a merger or consolidation of a Specified Entity or a sale of 50% or more of the assets of a Specified Entity in one or a series
of related transactions; (iv) a recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving a Specified Entity that constitutes
or could result in a transfer of more than 50% of the voting rights or equity interests in such Specified Entity; or (v) the execution
by a Specified Entity or its owners of an agreement providing for or that will result in any of the foregoing events.

7. Subordination.


 


(a) All
claims of the Holder to Principal, Interest and any other amounts at any time owed under this Note (collectively, “Junior Indebtedness”)
is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment, as herein set forth, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. No
payment under Junior Indebtedness shall be made by the Company, nor shall the Holder exercise any remedies under the Junior Indebtedness
(including taking any legal action (whether judicial or otherwise) to collect the Junior Indebtedness), if, at the time of such payment,
exercise or immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) there shall exist any material “Default” or “Event of Default”
under any agreements governing any of the Senior Indebtedness, upon which the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of such Default
within three (3) days of its receipt of notice of the Default from the Senior Lender or (ii) the maturity of any of the Senior Indebtedness
has been accelerated and (A) such acceleration has not been waived or (B) such Senior Indebtedness has not been paid in full; provided,
however, that (x) in the event that the holder of any Senior Indebtedness accelerates such Senior Indebtedness, then the Holder may accelerate
the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and (y) if the Company is permitted under the terms of the Senior Indebtedness to pay an amount
due and owing under this Note and fails to make such payment, then so long as the terms of the Senior Indebtedness do not prohibit such
action, the Holder may exercise its rights to be paid such amount, but only such amount (and Holder shall not be permitted to accelerate
hereunder).


 


(b) Upon
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon
any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment
thereof provided for in money, before any payment is made under Junior Indebtedness; and upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation
or reorganization, any distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which
the Holder as holder of the Junior Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by the Company or by
any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holder
if received by Holder, directly to the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, or its representatives, to the extent necessary to pay all such
Senior Indebtedness in full, in money, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holder with respect to the Junior Indebtedness.


 


(c) If
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness in good faith believe Holder may fail to timely file a proof of claim in any such insolvency proceeding,
the holder(s) of the Senior Indebtedness may do so for Holder.


 




    5


     


    

 


(d) In
the event that any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
prohibited by the foregoing where the holder has actual knowledge of a Senior Indebtedness payment default (for purposes of this Note,
a Holder shall only be deemed to have actual knowledge of a Senior Indebtedness payment default if it is so notified, in writing, by the
Company or the senior lender) shall be received by the Holder before all the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provisions made for
such payment, in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered
to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, as their respective interests may appear, for application
to the payment of all the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full, in
money, in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.


 


(e) The
provisions hereof are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness on the one hand
and the Holder as holder of the Junior Indebtedness on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as between the Company and the
Holder, the obligations of the Company under the Junior Indebtedness, which are unconditional and absolute. With this in mind, notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Section 7, if and so long as all documents governing the Senior Indebtedness permit one of the actions restricted
by this Section 7, the restriction shall be waived and the restricted action permitted hereunder.


 


(f) No
right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination as herein provided shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any act or failure to act, in good faith,
by any such holder of the Senior Indebtedness, or any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants hereof, regardless
of any knowledge thereof any holder of the Senior Indebtedness may have or be otherwise charged with. Without in any way limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or
notice to the Holder, without incurring responsibility to the Holder and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in
this Note or the obligations hereunder of the Holder to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i)
change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or create, renew or alter, the Senior Indebtedness, or
otherwise amend or supplement in any manner the Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
the Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing the Senior Indebtedness (other than the Collateral); (iii) release any person liable or contingently liable in any manner for
the payment or collection of the Senior Indebtedness; and/or (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or
any other person.


 


(g) Each
holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of this Note,
shall be entitled to rely on the subordination provisions set forth in this Note.


 


(h) Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, the Holder shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts which would prohibit the making
of any payments on the Junior Indebtedness unless and until the holder(s) of the Senior Indebtedness or their representatives send written
notice to Holder of same.


 




    6


     


    

 


(i) Subject
to the payment in full of all the Senior Indebtedness, the Holder as holder of the Junior Indebtedness shall be subrogated to the rights
of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness.


 


(j) The
Holder shall confirm (in writing) the above subordination provisions if requested by any holder of the Senior Indebtedness, and shall
execute and deliver such additional subordination agreements, consistent with the foregoing as any holder of Senior Indebtedness may require.


 


(k) For
purposes hereof, “Senior Indebtedness” means, with respect to the Company, all senior secured indebtedness of the Company,
whether outstanding on the date of the execution of this Note or thereafter created, to banks, insurance companies, other financial institutions,
private equity funds, hedge funds or other similar funds, and that certain Original Issue Discount Subordinated Note issued by the Company

by the Company shall not constitute Senior Indebtedness.

18. Appointment
of Agent; No Effect on the Obligations of the Company or the Guarantors.


 


(a) Stuart
Benson (the “Collateral Agent”) is hereby appointed by the Holder and its successors and assigns as the Collateral
Agent hereunder, under the other Buyer Notes and under each Guaranty (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), and the
Holder hereby authorizes Stuart Benson to act as the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and under each other
Loan Document. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the
other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 18 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and each Buyer
Note Holder, and neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof
or thereof. The Holder shall ratably, in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Buyer Notes held by it, indemnify
the Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and/or the Guarantors) against any cost, expense (including outside
counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Collateral Agent’s gross
negligence, or willful misconduct) that the Collateral Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Loan Documents or any action taken
or omitted by the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder. The obligations of the Holder and any other Buyer Note Holder under this Section
18 shall survive the payment in full of the indebtedness under the Buyer Notes and the termination of this Agreement. This Section 18
sets forth the rights and obligations solely as between the Collateral Agent and the Buyer Note Holders, and nothing in this Section 18
creates any rights for the Company or any Guarantor or releases the Company or any Guarantor from its obligations under the Buyer Notes
or the Guaranty, including without limitation the obligation of the Company or any Guarantor to reimburse the Holder for any payment made
by the Holder to the Collateral Agent hereunder on the Company’s or any Guarantor’s behalf.


 


(b) The
Holder irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on the Holder’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights,
and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Collateral Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights, and remedies as are incidental thereto. The Holder hereby further irrevocably authorizes
the Collateral Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents. The Collateral Agent may exercise such powers, rights
and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees and may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants
and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the advice of such counsel, accountants or expert. The Collateral Agent may accept payments of principal, interest, fees and expenses
due under the Loan Documents from the deposits from the Company or any Guarantor on the account or benefit for any Buyer Note Holder.


 






    11


     


    

 


(c) The
Holder hereby agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise
by the Collateral Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and binding upon all of the Buyer Note Holders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Buyer Note
Holders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Buyer Note Holder, from time to time, to take any action with
respect to any Collateral or any Loan Document which may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest
in the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.


 


(d) The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Buyer Note Holders or to any other Person to assure that any Collateral exists
or is owned by the Company or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein
or pursuant to the other Loan Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure
or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 18 or in any of the
Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral
Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in any Collateral as one of the Buyer
Note Holders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Buyer Note Holder, except for its gross negligence,
or willful misconduct. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, partners, managers, agents or employees shall
be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection
with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified
in any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Loan Document; (iv) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the existence or non-existence
of any Event of Default; or (vi) the financial condition of the Company or any Guarantor. The Holder acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Buyer Note Holder, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Holder also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Buyer Note Holder, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action
under the Loan Documents to which it is a party.


 


(e) The
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received written notice from a Buyer Note Holder, the Company or any Guarantor referring to the Loan Documents, describing
such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Collateral Agent may at any time request
instructions from the Buyer Note Holders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of the Loan Documents the Collateral
Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Collateral Agent shall be absolutely
entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for
refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions
from the Buyer Note Holders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Buyer Note Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Collateral Agent solely as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting under any of the Loan Documents, except with
respect to its gross negligence, or willful misconduct.


 


(f) The
Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Buyer Note Holders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice
of resignation, the Buyer Note Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no such successor shall have been
so appointed by the Buyer Note Holders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then (a) the resignation of the Collateral Agent shall become effective on such 30th
day, (b) the Buyer Note Holders shall perform the duties of the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents until the Buyer Note Holders
appoint a successor Collateral Agent, (c) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and (d) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Buyer Note Holder directly, until such time as the Buyer Note Holders appoint a successor Collateral
Agent as provided for in this Section 18. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral
Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided herein).
