6

10.            Default.  Any one or more of the following events, regardless of whether such occurrence is voluntary or involuntary or comes about or becomes effected by operation of law or otherwise, shall be considered a "Default" by Borrower under the terms of this Agreement (subject to the Cure Period as provided in Section 12):

10.2.            Material Breach.  Borrower materially breaches or defaults with respect to any covenant, agreement, provision or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Document.  For avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any Default by Borrower under any Financing Documents shall constitute a default by Borrower under all of the Financing Documents, entitling Lender immediately to exercise the remedies provided under Section 11.

11.2.            Acceleration.  The full Obligations, including all fees, accrued interest, costs, expenses and charges, shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand and the Due Date for any then outstanding Obligations shall be deemed the date of the Default triggering such acceleration (except to the extent the default is a Non-Payment Default that is timely cured to Lender's reasonable satisfaction as provided in Section 12 below).
7

11.3.            Remedies.  Lender shall have the right to pursue any and all available legal and equitable remedies for the collection of the Obligations and all fees, interest and penalties due and payable, including but not limited to the following:

Following the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, after payment in full and satisfaction of all Obligations, any amounts received by Lender in excess of the Obligations shall be delivered to Borrower or to the order directed by Borrower.
12.            Cure Period.  Prior to Lender exercising any of its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 11, except in the case of a Default arising from the failure to pay any Obligations when due (such failure being, a "Payment Default" and any other Default being, a "Non-Payment Default"), Borrower shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such Non-Payment Default for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of such Non-Payment Default, or such longer period as may be agreed to by Lender in its reasonable discretion (the "Cure Period"), prior to Lender having the right to exercise any remedies hereunder; provided, that Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of all material facts regarding any such Non-Payment Default and the specific actions Borrower proposes to take to cure any such Non-Payment Default.  Whether any such Non-Payment Default is timely and appropriately cured will be determined by Lender in its good faith, reasonable discretion.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any Cure Period for any Payment Default, except  as provided in Section 10.1 and to the extent Lender otherwise agrees in its sole and absolute discretion.

3.            Defaults and Remedies.
(a)            Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
(1)            Nonpayment of Obligations. Any amount due and owing on the Note, whether by its terms or as otherwise provided herein, is not paid on the date such amount is due.
(2)            Nonperformance. Any failure to perform or default in the performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Note, which failure to perform or default in performance continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Company receives notice or knowledge from any source of such failure to perform or default in performance (provided that if the failure to perform or default in performance is not capable of being cured, in Holder's sole discretion, then the cure period set forth herein shall not be applicable and the failure or default shall be an immediate Event of Default hereunder).
(3)            Default under Loan Documents. Any failure to perform or default in the performance by the Company that continues after applicable grace and cure periods under any covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Security Agreement or any other agreement with Holder, all of which covenants, conditions and agreements are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by express reference.
(4)            Assignment for Creditors. The Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or if a trustee of any substantial part of the assets of the Company is applied for or appointed, and in the case of such trustee being appointed in a proceeding brought against the Company, the Company by any action or failure to act indicates its approval of, consent to, or acquiescence in such appointment and such appointment is not vacated, stayed on appeal or otherwise shall not have ceased to continue in effect within sixty (60) days after the date of such appointment.

16

(b)            Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Holder shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in this Note and the Security Agreement, in any written agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement or the Security Documents) relating to any of the obligations or any security therefor, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holder may, at its option and without further notice, demand or presentment for payment to the Company or others, may declare the then outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all other sums due under the Note, immediately due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and thereafter all such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate, together with all reasonable attorneys' fees, paralegals' fees and costs and expenses incurred by the Holder in collecting or enforcing payment thereof (whether such reasonable fees, costs or expenses are incurred in negotiations, all trial and appellate levels, administrative proceedings, bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise), and all other sums due by the Company hereunder, all without any relief whatsoever from any valuation or appraisement laws and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to the Holder at law, in equity, or under this Note. No Event of Default shall be waived by Holder, except and unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder. No failure or delay on the part of Holder in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Holder to exercise any remedy available to Holder in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. The Company agrees that in the event that the Company fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, and the Security Agreement, or any other agreements with Holder, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Holder, and further agrees that Holder shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
6.            Security for the Note.  To secure the payment and performance by the Company of the obligations hereunder, the Company grants, under and pursuant to the Security Agreement executed by the Company dated as of the date hereof, to Holder, its successors and assigns, a continuing, first-priority security interest in, and does hereby assign, transfer, mortgage, convey, pledge, hypothecate and set over to Holder, its successors and assigns, all of the right, title and interest of the Company in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), hereafter acquired, and all proceeds (including, without limitation, all insurance proceeds) and products of any of the Collateral. At any time upon Holder's request, the Company shall execute and deliver to Holder any other documents, instruments or certificates requested by Holder for the purpose of properly documenting and perfecting the security interests of Holder in and to the Collateral granted hereunder, including any additional security agreements, mortgages, control agreements, and financing statements.
7.            Lost or Stolen Note. Upon notice to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and customary for similar circumstances in commercial borrower circumstances, and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor and date and in substantially the same form as this Note.
17

8.            Cancellation. After all principal, accrued interest and all other sums at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be re-issued.
9.            Governing Law; Arbitration. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the County of San Diego of the State of California for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, provided, however, nothing contained herein shall limit the Holder's ability to bring suit or enforce this Note in any other jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by sending by certified mail or overnight courier a copy thereof to such party at the address indicated in the preamble hereto and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything of the foregoing, the parties agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Note shall be submitted to JAMS Endispute, or its successor, for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS Endispute, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration.
10.            Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies of the Holder as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
11.            Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
12.            Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing.  A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.
13.            Notice.  Notice shall be given to each party at the address indicated in the preamble hereto or at such other address as provided to the other party in writing.
18

14.            Usury Savings Clause.  In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of such outstanding principal balance and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder of this Note may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the outstanding principal balance.  It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest that may be charged under applicable law.
15.            Binding Effect.  This Note shall be binding upon the Company and the successors and assigns of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of Holder and the successors and assigns of Holder.
16.            Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then and in any of those events, only such provision or provisions shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect any other provision of this Note.  The remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced, or disturbed thereby.
17.            Participations.  Holder may from time to time sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in this Note and/or the obligations evidenced hereby, subject, however, to first obtaining the Company's written consent.  The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Holder and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Holder (to the extent of such holder's interest or participation); and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker's lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to the Company (to the extent of such holder's interest or participation), in each case as fully as though the Company was directly indebted to such holder.
18.            Amendments.  The provisions of this Note may be changed only by a written agreement executed by the Company and Holder.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 2014 (the "Effective Date") is entered into by and between Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Company"), and Arthur S. Budman ("Executive"), with reference to the following:
A.            Company desires to engage Executive to be the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ("CEO and CFO") and Executive desires to become the Company's CEO.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the various covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.            Term of Employment.
1.1            Initial Term.  Company hereby employs Executive and Executive accepts such employment for a term of one year (the "Initial Term"), commencing as of the Effective Date and terminating on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter provided (such term, as terminated or extended as hereinafter provided, being the "Term").
1.2            Renewal Term.  Unless either Company or Executive provides written notification to the other, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term (as defined below) thereafter, that Company or Executive, as the case may be, elects not to renew the Term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for an additional one (1) year period (a "Renewal Term"), commencing upon the expiration of the Initial Term or the prior Renewal Term, as the case may be.  If Company elects to not exercise any Renewal Term, Executive, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, as defined in Paragraph 6.1, below, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment by Company equivalent to six months of Executive's then current Base Salary.  Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect during any Renewal Term.
2.            Titles and Responsibilities; Exclusivity.
2.1            Title and Responsibilities. Executive shall serve as CEO and CFO of the Company and in the performance of such duties shall have those duties and responsibilities customarily associated with such positions. Subject to applicable law and direction by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), Executive shall have complete autonomy with respect to the day to day management of the business and affairs of the Company and shall have all executive powers and authority which are necessary to enable him to discharge his duties as CEO and CFO of the Company and which are commonly incident to such office.  Executive's office location shall at all times be in the San Diego Metropolitan Area, provided that Executive may be required to travel outside such area from time to time to the extent reasonably necessary to the performance of his duties hereunder.  During the term hereof, Company shall not employ or otherwise retain any other person senior to Executive, who is afforded aggregate compensation equal to or greater than that of Executive or who is afforded executive responsibilities equal to or greater than those of Executive.
1

2.2            Exclusivity.  Executive shall in good faith and consistent with his ability, experience and talent perform the duties set forth in this Section 2, and shall devote such of his productive time and efforts as is necessary to perform such duties.  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive may devote time to personal and family investments to the extent that such investments do not materially conflict with the discharge of his duties hereunder.  The existence of any such material conflict shall be determined in good faith by the Board and Executive.
3.            Compensation and Benefits.  Company shall pay and/or provide the following compensation and benefits to Executive during the term hereof, and Executive shall accept the same as payment in full for all services rendered by Executive, in his capacity as an officer of Company, to or for the benefit of Company:
3.1            Base Salary.  Executive will be paid a salary of $175,000 per annum during the Initial Term of this Agreement (the "Base Salary").  The Base Salary shall be subject to review from time to time (not less frequently than at the end of each fiscal year of Company) and, as a result thereof, may be increased (but not decreased) at the discretion of the Board.  The Base Salary shall accrue in equal monthly installments in arrears and shall be payable in accordance with the payroll practices of Company in effect from time to time.
3.2            Bonus and Commissions.  Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus each year, with the amount of such bonus to be determined in the Board's sole discretion.  Executive shall be eligible to earn commissions on sales made by the Company.  Executive shall be paid commissions upon the closing and calculation of each month's sales.  Executive's commissions are not calculable, and therefore not earned until month-end because Executive's commission rate varies depending on sales made that month.  One hundred percent (100%) of the commission on each sale will be deemed earned and payable upon the end of the month in which the franchisee pays an initial or subsequent deposit cumulatively equal to at least 40% of the amount owed by such franchisee.  Executive's eligibility for, and applicable rates of these commissions are as follows:

1. If the Company sells between 50 and 60 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $50.00.
2. If the Company sells between 61 and 70 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $60.00.
3. If the Company sells between 71 and 80 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $75.00.
4. If the Company sells between 81 and 90 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $90.00.
5. If the Company sells 91 or more machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $110.00.
6. Any machine(s) that Executive sells on his own shall receive a commission of $400.00 per machine.

2

3.3            Fringe Benefits.
(a)            Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of Company's incentive and benefit plans and arrangements, including, without limitation, all employee incentive and benefit plans or arrangements made available in the future by Company to its senior executives, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements, but on a basis no less favorable than that afforded to any other director, officer or employee of Company.  Company shall also provide to Executive at Company's expense all health, major medical, hospitalization and disability insurance provided to other senior executives of Company.
(b)            Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by him in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder, subject to Executive's furnishing Company with evidence in the form of receipts satisfactory to Company substantiating the claimed expenditures (such expenses being commensurate with the office and executive position of Executive hereunder, and including first class hotel and private jet travel domestically and first class hotel and travel arrangements internationally).  Executive's right to be reimbursed for expenses incurred prior to the termination of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(c)            Executive shall be entitled to the number of paid vacation days in each calendar year determined by the Board from time to time, but not less than 30 calendar days in any calendar year.  Executive shall also be entitled to be paid for all US Federal holidays.    Any unused vacation days may be carried forward and upon the termination of his employment hereunder, Executive shall be paid the balance of his accrued but unused vacation time.
(d)            The Company shall grant Executive 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Grant Shares") to vest ratably over the period of the Initial Term (the "Vesting Period").  The Grant Shares are unregistered securities and will bear all applicable restrictive legends as required by federal and state securities laws.  If Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason other than a termination by the Company for Cause (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to retain the number of Grant Shares that have vested as of the termination, plus the number of Grant Shares that will vest within the six-month period immediately subsequent to the termination date.  The first vesting period for the shares will commence on October 15, 2014.  The form of the grant shall be provided to the Company by the Executive.
(e)            All compensation payable to Executive hereunder shall be subject to such deductions as Company is from time to time required to make pursuant to law, governmental regulation or order.
4.            Representations and Warranties.  Executive represents and warrants to Company that (a) Executive is under no contractual or other restriction or obligation which is inconsistent with the execution of this Agreement, the performance of his duties hereunder, or the other rights of Company hereunder and (b) Executive is under no physical or mental disability that would hinder the performance of his duties under this Agreement.  Company represents and warrants to Executive that (a) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Company and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by Company and no further action on Company's part is necessary to authorize this Agreement and the performance of such obligations, and (b) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Company, enforceable by Executive against Company strictly in accordance with its terms (subject to laws in effect with respect to creditors' rights generally and applicable principles relating to equitable remedies).

5.1            D&O Insurance.  Company shall, at its cost, provide insurance coverage to Executive with respect to (i) director's and officer's liability, (ii) errors and omissions and (iii) general liability.
5.2            Indemnification.  Company shall indemnify Executive and hold him harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, obligations or liabilities (including actual attorneys fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to any acts, or omissions to act, made by Executive on behalf of or in the course of performing services for Company to the full extent permitted by applicable law.  To the extent a change in applicable law permits greater indemnification than is now afforded, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Executive shall enjoy the greater benefits so afforded by such change.  If any claim, action, suit or proceeding is brought, or claim relating thereto is made, against Executive with respect to which indemnity may be sought against Company pursuant to this section, Executive shall notify Company in writing thereof, and Company shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent that it shall wish, in its discretion, assume and control the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Executive.
5.3            Rights Not Exclusive.  The foregoing rights conferred upon Executive shall not be exclusive of any other right which Executive may have or hereafter acquire under any statute or otherwise, and such provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
6. Termination.
6.1            Death or Total Disability of Executive.  If Executive dies, Executive's employment hereunder shall automatically terminate.  If Executive becomes totally disabled during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at the option of Company.  For these purposes Executive shall be deemed totally disabled if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated or disabled or otherwise unable to discharge Executive's duties hereunder for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive calendar days or for one hundred fifty (150) calendar days (whether or not consecutive) in any one hundred eighty (180) calendar day period.   If the Term is terminated by Executive's death or disability, the Company shall promptly pay or provide to the Executive or his Estate, (i) the Executive's earned but unpaid Base Salary accrued through such date of termination, (ii) accrued but unpaid vacation time through such date of termination, (iii) any Bonus and Commissions required to be paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not previously paid, (iv) reimbursement of any business expenses incurred by the Executive prior to the date of termination, and (v) any vested benefits and other amounts due to the Executive through the date of termination under any plan, program, policy of, or other agreement with, the Company (subsections (i) to (v), above, are referred to together as the "Accrued Obligations").  Prior to termination of this Agreement as a result of disability, and notwithstanding any failure or inability of Executive to render services hereunder, Company shall continue to pay and/or provide to Executive the compensation and benefits specified in Section 3 hereof.  Furthermore, in the event that this Agreement automatically terminates as a result of the death of Executive, or in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Company as a result of the total disability of Executive, Company shall, in addition to payment of the Accrued Obligations, continue to pay Executive (or, in the event of Executive's death, Executive's estate, heirs or personal representative), when otherwise due, for a period of six months thereafter Executive's Base Salary and any bonus specified in this Agreement and Company shall continue to pay Executive's, and his family's, health benefits for such six month period.

6.2            Termination by Company for Cause.  Except as set forth in Section 6.1, Company may terminate this Agreement only for Cause, which shall be limited to any one of the following:
(a)            Executive's material breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that termination of Executive's employment pursuant to this subsection 6.2(a) shall not constitute valid termination for cause unless Executive shall have first received written notice from the Board stating with specificity the nature of such material breach and affording Executive at least thirty (30) days to cure the material breach alleged; provided, however, that if such act or omission cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Executive shall be afforded all time reasonably necessary to cure the act or omission as long as he commences the cure within such thirty (30) day period and prosecutes the cure with reasonable diligence thereafter;
(b)            Executive's conviction by, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere in, a court of competent and final jurisdiction for any felony which would materially and adversely interfere with Executive's ability to perform his services under this Agreement;
(c)            Executive's continuing repeated willful failure or refusal to perform his duties hereunder, provided that termination of pursuant to this subsection 6.2(c) shall not constitute valid termination for cause unless Executive shall have first received written notice from the Board stating with specificity the nature of such failure or refusal and affording Executive at least thirty (30) days to correct the act or omission complained of; provided, however, that if such act or omission cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Executive shall be afforded all time reasonably necessary to cure the act or omission as long as he commences the cure within such thirty (30) day period and prosecutes the cure with reasonable diligence thereafter; or
In no event whatsoever shall Company's failure to meet any business or financial projections be grounds for Company's termination of this Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement by Company for Cause, Executive shall only be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations.  Should Company terminate this Agreement without Cause, Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and the Severance Payment (as defined below).
6.3            Termination by Executive for Good Reason.  Executive's employment may be terminated by Executive for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without Executive's prior written consent, unless Company fully cures the circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided such circumstances are capable of cure) within thirty (30) business days of receipt of written notice of such circumstances by Company from Executive:
(a)            A material reduction in Executive's titles, duties, authority and responsibilities, or the assignment to Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with Executive's position, authority, duties or responsibilities without the written consent of Executive; or
5

(b)            Company's reduction of Executive's annual base salary, bonus opportunity or other such compensation, each as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time; or
(c)            Company's failure to cure a material breach of its obligations under the Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice is delivered to the Board by Executive which specifically identifies the manner in which Executive believes that Company has breached its obligations under the Agreement; or
(d)            The relocation of Company's headquarters to a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from Company's current headquarters in San Diego, California; or
(e)            The cessation of business by Company, or its complete liquidation and winding up, or the sale of all or substantially all of Company's assets to a person unaffiliated with Company, in either case without Executive's prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld by Executive in his sole and arbitrary discretion; or
Upon any termination of this Agreement for any reason other than Cause, as defined in Section 6.2 (the "Termination Date"), Executive shall not be required to render or to provide any further services pursuant to this Agreement and, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, Executive shall be entitled to receive in one lump sum payment, within fifteen (15) days following notice of such termination, a payment equal to the sum of the amounts of all of salary, bonuses, commissions and other benefits otherwise payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement up to the Termination Date, plus a period of six months (collectively referred to as the "Severance Payment").  Such Severance Payment shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other damages to which Executive may otherwise be entitled.
6.4            No Mitigation.  Executive shall have no duty or obligation to mitigate damages hereunder, and if Executive does choose to accept employment elsewhere after any breach or improper termination of this Agreement by Company, then any income and other employment benefits received by Executive by virtue of his employment by, or rendition of services for or on behalf of, any person or entity other than Company after such breach or improper termination shall not reduce Company's obligation to make payments and afford benefits hereunder.
6.5            No Offset.  Company shall have no right to offset against any payments or other benefits due to Executive under this Agreement the amount of any claims it may have against Executive by reason of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by Executive; provided, however, that Company shall have the right to offset any amounts due Company from Executive pursuant to any judgment (after exhaustion of all appeals) rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by Executive.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of October 1, 2014 ("Effective Date") and is made and entered into by and between Fresh Healthy Vending, LLC ("the Company") and Alex Kennedy ("Kennedy") (together, the "Parties").
The Company and Kennedy mutually desire to enter into an agreement containing the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company will employ Kennedy from and after the date of this Agreement.  In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
EMPLOYMENT
1.1            Employment.  The Company hereby agrees to employ Kennedy and Kennedy hereby agrees to serve the Company in the capacity of Director of Franchise Development based upon the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
1.2            At-Will Employment.  Kennedy's employment with the Company shall be considered "at-will," meaning that either Kennedy or the Company can terminate her employment at any time, for any or no reason, with or without advance notice.  This also means the Company can alter the terms of Kennedy's employment at any time, for any or no reason, with or without advance notice.  Kennedy's at-will employment status shall not be altered at any time by any person, except for in writing, signed by the CEO of the Company.  On termination by either of the Company or Kennedy ("termination date") , Kennedy shall be entitled to receive from the Company all accrued compensation due to her under Article 2 below through the termination date but shall not be entitled to receive any severance payments.
1.3            Duties.  During the term of her employment, Kennedy shall devote her full-time efforts, abilities, and energies to the Company's business and, in particular, shall use her best efforts, skill, and abilities to promote the general welfare and interests of the Company.  Kennedy shall loyally, conscientiously, and professionally do and perform all such duties and responsibilities as shall be reasonably assigned to her.  Kennedy shall report directly to the Manager of the Company.  Kennedy shall perform all services appropriate to her position and as reasonably and properly assigned by the CEO.  Kennedy shall comply with all of the Company's personnel policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, those contained in the Company's Employee Handbook.
ARTICLE 2
COMPENSATION
2.1            Compensation.
2.1.1            Base Salary.  The Company shall pay Kennedy a base salary of Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($165,000.00) per year.  The Base Salary shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company's general payroll practices in effect.

2.1.2            Commissions.  Kennedy shall be eligible to receive a bonus each year, with the amount of such bonus to be determined in the Board's sole discretion.  Kennedy shall be eligible to earn commissions on sales made by the Company.  Kennedy shall be paid commissions upon the closing and calculation of each month's sales.  Kennedy's commissions are not calculable, and therefore not earned until month-end because Kennedy's commission rate varies depending on sales made that month.  One hundred percent (100%) of the commission on each sale will be deemed earned and payable upon the end of the month in which the franchisee pays an initial or subsequent deposit cumulatively equal to at least 40% of the amount owed by such franchisee.  Kennedy's eligibility for, and applicable rates of these commissions are as follows:
1. If the Company sells between 50 and 60 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $50.00.
2. If the Company sells between 61 and 70 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $60.00.
3. If the Company sells between 71 and 80 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $75.00.
4. If the Company sells between 81 and 90 machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $90.00.
5. If the Company sells 91 or more machines during a month, the commission per machine will be $110.00.
6. Any machine(s) that Kennedy sells on his own shall receive a commission of $400.00 per machine.
2.1.3            Employee Benefits.  In addition to the compensation specified above, Kennedy shall be permitted to participate in certain Company-provided employee benefit programs in the same manner and subject to the same terms, conditions, and limitations as other full-time Kennedy employees of the Company.  These employee benefit programs include the Company's vacation, medical, dental and vision programs, and may also include an equity incentive plan, currently under consideration by the Company's board of directors, that may allow for grants of options and or grants of restricted stock on conditions and terms to be structured and adopted by the board of directors of the Company and ratified by the shareholders of the Company .
2.2            Business Expenses.  The Company will reimburse Kennedy for reasonable business expenses in accordance with its policies.

ARTICLE 3
ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS
3.1            Non-Interference.  Kennedy shall not now or in the future, either during or subsequent to the period of Kennedy's employment, disrupt, damage, impair or interfere with the business of the Company in any manner, including, without limitation, inducing an employee to leave the employ of the Company or inducing an employee, a consultant, a sales representative, or an independent contractor to sever that person's relationship with the Company either by interfering with or raiding the Company's employees, disrupting the relationships with customers, agents, independent contractors, representatives or vendors, or otherwise.
3.2            Conflicts of Interest.  If Kennedy is involved, directly or indirectly, in an activity that presents a potential or actual conflict of interest, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, by virtue of Kennedy's employment or employment relationship with the Company, Kennedy shall immediately terminate such activity, employment and/or relationship unless Kennedy has the express written permission of the Company to continue it.  If Kennedy has any doubts as to whether a potential or actual conflict of interest is involved, Kennedy must disclose all pertinent facts to the Company before undertaking the activity.  The Company shall make the final decision as to whether such a conflict or potential conflict exists in its sole discretion.
3.3            Confidentiality.  Kennedy agrees, at all times during and after Kennedy's employment hereunder, to hold in the strictest confidence, and not to disclose to any person, firm or corporation without the express written authorization of the President of the Company, any trade secret, any financial information or any secret, proprietary, or confidential information relating to the Company's programs, customers, customers' information, sales or business of the Company, or any sensitive personal information learned or obtained about the Company's officers, shareholders and/or employees in the course and scope of Kennedy's employment with the Company ("Confidential Information"), except as such disclosure or use may be required in connection with her work for the Company or by law, or is published or is otherwise readily available to the public or becomes known to the public other than by her breach of this Agreement.  Kennedy further agrees, upon termination of this Agreement, to promptly deliver to the Company all notes, books, correspondence, drawings, computer storage information, and any and all other written and graphical records in her possession or under her control relating to the past, present or future business, accounts, or projects of the Company.
i)            Non-Disparagement. Kennedy agrees that she will not at any time, unless compelled by law, disparage, criticize or defame the Company, or any of its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents, in their capacities as such or knowingly or willfully harm the business interests, reputation or goodwill of the Company.
