2. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Investors. Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents, warrants, covenants with respect to its purchase of Units at the Closing that:

2.1 Validity; Enforcement. Such Investor has full power and authority and has taken all required action necessary to permit it to execute and deliver and to carry out the terms of this Agreement, the Note and all other documents or instruments required hereby and thereby, and each Agreement and Note, assuming due execution and delivery thereof by the Company, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

2.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Note and Shares to be received by such Investor will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Note or any of the Shares.

2.3 Residency. Such Investor, if a natural person, is a resident of that state or country specified in its address on Schedule I attached hereto.

Such Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering of the Units and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain any additional information of the same kind that is specified in Rule 502 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, or that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the other information obtained. The Investor acknowledges that it has received such information as it deems necessary to enable it to make its investment decision.

2.5 No Governmental Review.

2.6 Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to such Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

The “accredited investor” standards are attached hereto as Annex A.

2.9 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Notes and the Shares will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances.

“THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THIS SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE IS SUBORDINATED TO THE PRIOR PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF ALL SENIOR DEBT, EXISTING PROMISSORY NOTES AND CERTAIN OTHER PERMITTED INDEBTEDNESS AS DESCRIBED MORE FULLY IN THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED [DECEMBER __, 2008,] AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED, MODIFIED, RESTATED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME TO THE EXTENT, AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED THEREIN.”

(b) Any legend required by the securities laws of the State of California or by any other securities laws of other states in which the Company and Investor must comply in order to distribute the Units pursuant to this Agreement.

2.11 Exculpation Among Investors. Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Investor agrees that no Investor nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Investor shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Units.

2.12 Senior Subordinated Notes Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness. The holder of the Senior Subordinated Note, by its acceptance of a Senior Subordinated Note, covenants and agrees (i) that the obligations represented by the Senior Subordinated Notes and the payment of the principal of and interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject to Existing Promissory Notes, capital leases, Senior Debt and other customary permitted indebtedness and (ii) to the extent required by any such senior lender, shall enter into an intercreditor or subordination agreement on such terms and conditions that would be reasonably acceptable to a senior subordinated lender.

Senior Debt means (i) an unsecured credit facility or a series of related credit facilities or other unsecured financing entered into following the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes in the minimum original principal amount (including commitments to lend, whether or not funded) of $500,000 or more that by its terms is senior in payment to the Senior Subordinated Notes and (ii) a secured credit facility or a series of related secured credit facilities entered into prior to or following the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes that by its terms is senior in payment to the Senior Subordinated Notes and that, in each case, is incurred in connection with any (a) capital expenditures and related expenses, including without limitation those relating to the purchase and installation of beverage dispensing equipment or plant infrastructure, (b) refinancing of indebtedness, (c) revolving line of credit or (d) strategic acquisition or transaction approved by the Company’s board of directors.

3. Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth in Section 2 above, each Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Notes or the Shares unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company and the other Investors to be bound by this Agreement and the terms of the Notes and the Shares to be transferred to such transferee and:

(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(b) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, except in unusual circumstances. In the event that any transfer agent or similar third party shall require an opinion of counsel in connection with a transfer made pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, the Company’s counsel will issue such opinion, at the Company’s expense; provided that the Investor making such transfer shall provide any and all documentation and/or back-up certificates reasonably necessary for such counsel to issue such opinion.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer for no new consideration by any Investor to an affiliate of such Investor (including entities controlled by such affiliates and employees, advisors and/or respective family members of such affiliates), to a parent or a subsidiary corporation, or, in the case of an Investor that is a partnership, to a partner of the partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof and if the Note or the Shares are so transferred to the same extent as if he were an original Investor hereunder and the original holder thereof.

Unless and until the Notes have been repaid in full and subject to applicable securities laws, the Investors agree to not engage in short sales of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect upon the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, or business (such business being as described in the Exchange Act Documents), properties or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or impair the Company’s ability to perform on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement (any of the foregoing, a “Material Adverse Effect”). No proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction, revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification.

4.2 Due Authorization and Valid Issuance. The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and this Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due execution and delivery hereof by the Investors, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. The Notes and the Shares being purchased by the Investors hereunder will, upon issuance and payment therefore pursuant to the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.

4.3 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the sale of the Units, the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or constitute a violation of (i) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or (ii) assuming the correctness of the representations and warranties of the Investors set forth herein, any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company or its properties, except in the case of clause (ii) for any such conflicts, violations or defaults which do not have or would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 Survival of Warranties. The warranties, representations and covenants of the Company and Investors contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or document delivered in connection herewith or therewith, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof or thereof.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City and County of San Diego (the “Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts 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 Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.

5.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (facsimile or otherwise), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

The Investors hereby expressly agree that, only with the written consent of the holders of a Majority Interest may any Investor proceed to protect and enforce such Investor’s rights under the Notes, by suit in equity, action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant, provision or condition contained therein, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted thereunder.

5.9 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby may be modified, amended or waived in accordance with Section 5.7 of this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement (provided, that such rights may be modified, amended or waived in accordance with Section 5.7), and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

[_________ ___, ______] (the “Date of Issuance”)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Javo Beverage Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [NAME OF INVESTOR] (the “Investor”) at such place as such holder hereof shall designate, the principal amount of [AMOUNT OF NOTE] [($AMOUNT)] (the “Principal Amount”), together with simple interest on the principal balance from time to time outstanding, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, commencing on the date hereof. All accrued interest hereunder shall be payable in arrears on the first day of the succeeding calendar quarter with the first such payment due on April 1, 2009, and, together with all other accrued and unpaid interest, on the date the final principal installment under this Senior Subordinated Note becomes due and payable in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided herein, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, and all interest accrued thereon, shall be paid in full on January 1, 2017, (the “Maturity Date”). Principal shall be payable in nineteen (19) consecutive quarterly installments of [AMOUNT OF EACH INSTALLMENT][$INSTALLAMOUNT] beginning on April 1, 2012, and continuing thereafter on the first day of each calendar quarter, together with a twentieth (20th) payment on the Maturity Date, in an amount equal to all sums remaining unpaid under this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which commercial banks in California are required to be open for business.

A-1

This Senior Subordinated Note is one of a series of Senior Subordinated Notes of like tenor that are being issued by the Company in accordance with the Company’s confidential private placement memorandum dated December 9, 2008, (each a “Senior Subordinated Note” and together, the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) each pursuant to the terms and conditions of the related securities purchase agreement (the “SPA” and together with this Senior Subordinated Note, the “Note Documents”). This Senior Subordinated Note will be registered on the books of the Company or its agent as to principal and interest.

Within a reasonable time after notice to the Company from such holder of its intention to make such exchange and without expense to such holder, except for any transfer or similar tax which may be imposed on the transfer or exchange, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor another note or notes (each, a “Transferee Note”) for the same aggregate principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Note so surrendered, having the same maturity and rate of interest, containing the same provisions and subject to the same terms and conditions as the Senior Subordinated Note so surrendered. Each Transferee Note shall be made payable to such person or persons, or transferees, as the holder of such surrendered Senior Subordinated Note may designate, and such transfer or exchange shall be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest shall result therefrom. The Company may elect not to permit a transfer of the Senior Subordinated Note if it has not obtained satisfactory assurance that such transfer: (a) is exempt from the registration requirements of, or covered by an effective registration statement under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (b) is in compliance with all applicable state securities laws, including without limitation receipt of an opinion of counsel for the Investor (or other holder, as the case may be), which opinion shall be satisfactory to the Company.

New Note.

A-2

Right or Remedy. A forbearance of any right or remedy under this Senior Subordinated Note on any occasion shall not be a bar to exercise of the same right or remedy on any subsequent occasion or of any other right or remedy at any time.

Senior Subordinated Notes Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness. The obligations represented by this Senior Subordinated Notes and the payment of the principal of and interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject to Existing Promissory Notes, capital leases, Senior Debt and other customary permitted indebtedness; provided that regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be permitted absent a default under any such senior obligation.
