properties.

financial condition as of the date of the statement, and there has been no material adverse change in Borrower’s financial
condition subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statement supplied to Lender. Borrower has no material contingent

to Lender and as accepted by Lender, and except for property tax liens for taxes not presently due and payable, Borrower owns

a hazardous waste or substance on the Collateral. The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to

at or affecting any property or any facility owned, leased or used by Borrower.

the Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such

LENDER’S
EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the
Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited
to Borrower’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement
or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems
appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims,
at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All
such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from
the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness
and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among
and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2)
the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.

NEGATIVE
COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lender:

Indebtedness
and Liens. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by
this Agreement, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, including capital leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage,
assign, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower’s assets (except as allowed as Permitted
Liens), or (3) sell with recourse any of Borrower’s accounts, except to Lender.

Continuity
of Operations. (1) Engage in any business activities substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged,
(2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer
or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay any dividends on Borrower’s stock (other than dividends
payable in its stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would result from the payment of dividends, if Borrower is a “Subchapter S Corporation” (as defined
in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time
to time in amounts necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to satisfy
their liabilities under federal and state law which arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation
because of their ownership of shares of Borrower’s stock, or purchase or retire any of Borrower’s outstanding shares
or alter or amend Borrower’s capital structure.

Loans,
Acquisitions and Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest In or advance money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2)

Agreements.
Enter into any agreement containing any provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower’s
obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

CESSATION
OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other
agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if: (A) Borrower or any Guarantor
is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor
has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy
or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition,
in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any Guarantor seeks,
claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor’s guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender.

RIGHT
OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with
Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else
and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

DEFAULT.
Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

Payment
Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Loan.

Other
Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement 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.

False
Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf
under this Agreement 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.

Defective
Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure
of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

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.

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 the Loan is impaired.

Right
to Cure. If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be,
has not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower or Grantor,
as the case may be, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, demanding cure of such default:
(1) cure the default within twenty (20) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than twenty (20) days, immediately initiate steps
which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and complete
all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

EFFECT
OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related
Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately
will terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender’s option, all Indebtedness
immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default
of the type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional.
In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may
be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect
Lender’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

than $2.00 per share for a period of 30 days, Borrower, John Saunders, or Leann Sanuders will cause one or a combination of the
following actions to occur so that a four-to-one (4:1) margin between the aggregate value of the shares of Where Food Comes From,
Inc. and portion of the loan not secured by the certificate of deposit is maintained:

		–	Reduce
                                         the principal amount of the loan by payment and/or

of Where Food Comes From, Inc. .

writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of

of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No
prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute
a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall
not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be
granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

PROMISE
TO PAY. Where Food Comes From, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to Castle Rock Bank ("Lender"), or order,
in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00)
or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance, calculated
as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 3.750% per annum. Interest shall
be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. The Interest rate may change under the terms and
conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section.

PAYMENT.
Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 2, 2015.
In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning
October 2, 2014, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. 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. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate In writing.

INTEREST
CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple Interest basis; that Is, by applying the ratio
of the 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. All interest payable under this Note is computed
using this method.

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 $25.00. 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 of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments
will reduce the principal balance due. 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: Castle Rock Bank, Main Office, 501 Wilcox Street Castle Rock, CO 80104.

LATE
CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly
scheduled payment.

INTEREST
AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased
to 18.000% per annum. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable
law.

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

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

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, endorser, surety, or accommodation
party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes

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 provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written
notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within twenty (20) days; or (2) if the cure requires
