Hanson, an individual resident of Minnesota, or his successors or assigns (as applicable, the “Holder”), the principal amount of $1,500,000 (USD), or such lesser amount as shall have been actually advanced pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and between Borrowers and Holder dated of even date herewith (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), in accordance with the terms hereof and the Loan and Security Agreement.  This Promissory Note is hereinafter referred to as the “Note.”  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan and Security Agreement.

(a)           Interest.  Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note and be payable all in accordance with the Loan and Security Agreement.
 
(b)           Term and Payment; Application.  The principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other sums owed hereunder, shall be due and payable at the close of business on the Termination Date, as provided in the Loan and Security Agreement.
 
(c)           Prepayment.  Borrowers may at their option prepay all principal and interest owed under this Note, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the then-outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus (ii) all then accrued but unpaid interest under this Note, plus (iii) the sum of all remaining scheduled payments of interest under this Note through the Maturity Date.  The Company shall exercise its prepayment right by delivering written notice to the Holder at least 20 Business Days in advance of the date of prepayment and specifying in such notice the date on which the Note will be so prepaid.  Notwithstanding any prepayment of the Note, Cachet-Delaware shall nonetheless issue to Holder all shares of common stock of Cachet-Delaware to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5(a) of the Loan and Security Agreement.

3.             LOAN DOCUMENTS
 
This Note is secured by the Loan and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.  In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the Loan and Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement shall govern.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) all agreements and communications between Borrowers and Lender are hereby and shall automatically be limited so that, after taking into account all amounts deemed interest, the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender shall never exceed the maximum lawful rate or amount, (b) in calculating whether any interest exceeds the lawful maximum, all such interest shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread over the full amount and term of all principal indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender, and (c) if through any contingency or event, Lender receives or is deemed to receive interest in excess of the lawful maximum, any such excess shall be deemed to have been applied toward payment of the principal of any and all then outstanding indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender, or if there is no such indebtedness, shall immediately be returned to Borrowers.
 
5.             NO ORAL CHANGE
 
This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrowers or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
 
6.             AMENDMENT  AND  WAIVER
 
The  provisions  of  this  Note  may  not  be  modified, amended or waived, and Borrowers may not take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, without the written consent of the Holder.
