Promise to Pay. On or before
December 15, 2010, for value received, Mace Security Products, Inc. (the
"Borrower") promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., whose address is 420
Throckmorton, Suite 400, Fort Worth, TX 76102 (the "Bank") or order, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and
outstanding, plus interest on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days unless that
calculation would result in a usurious interest rate, in which case interest
will be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be at
the rate of 0.25% per annum (the "Applicable Margin") above the CB Floating Rate
(the interest rate of this Note on any day is referred to herein as the "Note
Rate"), and at the rate of 3.00% per annum above the Note Rate, at the Bank's option, upon the
occurrence of any default under this Note, whether or not the Bank elects to
accelerate the maturity of this Note, from the date such increased rate is
imposed by the Bank.
In no
event shall the interest rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Any
interest payment that would for any reason be unlawful under applicable law
shall be applied to principal.
Interest
will be computed on the unpaid principal balance from the date of each
borrowing.
Until
maturity, the Borrower will pay consecutive monthly installments of interest
only commencing January 15, 2010.
The
Borrower shall make all payments on this Note and the other Related Documents,
without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, to the Bank at the Bank's address
above or at such other place as the Bank may designate in writing. If any
payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a day that is
not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next succeeding Business
Day. Payments shall be allocated among principal, interest and fees at the
discretion of the Bank unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law.
Acceptance by the Bank of any payment that is less than the payment due at that
time shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank's right to receive payment in
full at that time or any other time.
Authorization for Direct Payments
(ACH Debits). To effectuate any payment due under this Note or under any
other Related Documents, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate
debit entries to Account Number 638331439 at the Bank and to debit the same to
such account. This authorization to initiate debit entries shall remain in full
force and effect until the Bank has received written notification of its
termination in such time and in such manner as to afford the Bank a reasonable
opportunity to act on it. The Borrower represents that the Borrower is and will
be the owner of all funds in such account. The Borrower acknowledges: (1) that
such debit entries may cause an overdraft of such account which may result in
the Bank’s refusal to honor items drawn on such account until adequate deposits
are made to such account; (2) that the Bank is under no duty or obligation to
initiate any debit entry for any purpose; and (3) that if a debit is not made
because the above-referenced account does not have a sufficient available
balance, or otherwise, the payment may be late or past due.
Late Fee. Any principal or
interest which is not paid within 10 days after its due date (whether as stated,
by acceleration or otherwise) shall be subject to a late payment charge of five
percent (5.00%) of the total payment due, in addition to the payment of
interest, up to the maximum amount of One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100
Dollars ($1,500.00) per late charge. The Borrower agrees to pay and stipulates
that five percent (5.00%) of the total payment due is a reasonable amount for a
late payment charge. The Borrower shall pay the late payment charge upon demand
by the Bank or, if billed, within the time specified.
Purpose of Loan. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that this Note evidences a loan for a business,
commercial, agricultural or similar commercial enterprise purpose, and that no
advance shall be used for any personal, family or household purpose. The
proceeds of the loan shall be used only for the Borrower's working capital
purposes.
Credit Facility. The Bank has
approved a credit facility to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed
the face amount of this Note. The credit facility is in the form of advances
made from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower. This Note evidences the
Borrower's obligation to repay those advances. The aggregate principal amount of
debt evidenced by this Note is the amount reflected from time to time in the
records of the Bank. Until the earliest to occur of maturity, any default, event
of default, or any event that would constitute a default or event of default but
for the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both, the Borrower may borrow,
pay down and reborrow under this Note subject to the terms of the Related
Documents.

Collateral and sale of the Collateral free and clear of all Liens.
Additional Waivers. To the

their obligations to the Bank, even if those obligations are not covered by this
Note.
Reinstatement. The Borrower
agrees that to the extent any payment or transfer is received by the Bank in
connection with the Liabilities evidenced by this Note, and all or any part of
the payment or transfer is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required to be transferred or repaid by the Bank
or transferred or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, whether
under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (any of those payments or transfers is
hereinafter referred to as a "Preferential Payment"), then this Note shall
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, even if all
those Liabilities have been paid in full and whether or not the Bank is in
possession of this Note, or whether the Note has been marked paid, released or
canceled, or returned to the Borrower and, to the extent of the payment,
repayment or other transfer by the Bank, the Liabilities or part intended to be

Governing Law and Venue. This
Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas (without giving effect to its laws of conflicts). The Borrower agrees
that any legal action or proceeding with respect to any of its obligations under

the State of Texas, as the Bank in its sole discretion may elect. By the
execution and delivery of this Note, the Borrower submits to and accepts, for
itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. The Borrower waives any claim that
the State of Texas is not a convenient forum or the proper venue for any such
suit, action or proceeding.
Renewal and Extension. This
Note is given in replacement, renewal and/or extension of, but not in
extinguishment of the indebtedness evidenced by, that Line of Credit Note dated
October 31, 2006 executed by the Borrower in the original principal amount of
Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), including previous
renewals or modifications thereof, if any (the "Prior Note" and together with
all loan agreements, credit agreements, reimbursement agreements, security
agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledge agreements, assignments,
guaranties, and any other instrument or document executed in connection with the
Prior Note, the "Prior Related Documents"), and is not a novation thereof. All
interest evidenced by the Prior Note shall continue to be due and payable until
paid. The Borrower fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Bank
and its successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, and
representatives (each a "Bank Party") from any and all causes of action, claims,
debts, demands, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity,
of the Borrower, whether now known or unknown to the Borrower (i) in respect of
the Liabilities evidenced by the Prior Note and the Prior Related Documents, or
of the actions or omissions of any Bank Party in any manner related to the
Liabilities evidenced by the Prior Note or the Prior Related Documents and (ii)
arising from events occurring prior to the date of this Note ("Claims");
provided, however, that the foregoing RELEASE SHALL INCLUDE ALL CLAIMS
ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY BANK PARTY, but not the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any Bank Party. If applicable, all
Collateral continues to secure the payment of this Note and the Liabilities. The
provisions of this Note are effective on December 15, 2009.
5
Usury. The Bank does not
intend to charge, collect or receive any interest that would exceed the maximum
rate allowed by law. If the effect of any applicable law is to render usurious
any amount called for under this Note or the other Related Documents, or if any
amount is charged or received with respect to this Note, or if any prepayment by
the Borrower results in the payment of any interest in excess of that permitted
by law, then all excess amounts collected by the Bank shall be credited on the
principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note and all other indebtedness
arising under or pursuant to the other Related Documents shall have been paid in
full, refunded to the Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other
Related Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter collectable reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any
new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law. All sums paid, or
agreed to be paid, by the Borrower for the use, forbearance, or detention of
money under this Note or the other Related Documents shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the
usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to such indebtedness
for so long as such indebtedness is outstanding. To the extent federal law
permits the Bank to contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of
interest, the Bank will rely on federal law instead of the Texas Finance Code.
To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is applicable to this
Note, the "weekly ceiling" specified in Chapter 303 is the applicable
ceiling.
Inability to Determine Interest
Rate. If the Bank determines on any day that quotations of interest rates
for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted One Month
LIBOR Rate are not being provided for purposes of determining the interest rate
on any advance on any day, then each advance evidenced by this Note shall bear
interest at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin until the Bank determines
that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate are being provided.
Miscellaneous. If more than
one Borrower executes this Note: (i) each Borrower is liable jointly and
severally for the Liabilities evidenced by this Note; (ii) the term "Borrower"
means any one or more of them; and (iii) the receipt of value by any one of them
constitutes the receipt of value by the others. This Note binds the Borrower and
its successors, and benefits the Bank, its successors and assigns. Any reference
to the Bank includes any holder of this Note. This Note is subject to that
certain Credit Agreement by and between the Borrower and the Bank, dated October
31, 2006, and all amendments, restatements and replacements thereof (the "Credit
Agreement") to which reference is hereby made for a more complete statement of
the terms and conditions under which the loan evidenced hereby is made and is to
be repaid. The terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are hereby
incorporated and made a part hereof by this reference thereto with the same
force and effect as if set forth at length herein. No reference to the Credit
Agreement and no provisions of this Note or the Credit Agreement shall alter or
impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the
principal and interest on this Note as herein prescribed. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Credit Agreement. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and do
not affect the interpretation of this Note. Any notices and demands under or
related to this Note shall be in writing and delivered to the intended party at
its address stated herein, and if to the Bank, at its main office if no other
address of the Bank is specified herein, by one of the following means: (a) by
hand; (b) by a nationally recognized overnight courier service; or (c) by
certified mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested. Notice shall be
deemed given: (a) upon receipt if delivered by hand; (b) on the Delivery Day
after the day of deposit with a nationally recognized courier service; or (c) on
the third Delivery Day after the notice is deposited in the mail. "Delivery Day"
means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or any other day on which national
banking associations are authorized to be closed. Any party may change its
address for purposes of the receipt of notices and demands by giving notice of
such change in the manner provided in this provision. This Note and the other
Related Documents embody the entire agreement between the Borrower and the Bank
regarding the terms of the loan evidenced by this Note and supercede all oral
statements and prior writings relating to that loan. No delay on the part of the
Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy waives that right or remedy. No
single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy precludes any
other future exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No
waiver or indulgence by the Bank of any default is effective unless it is in
writing and signed by the Bank, nor shall a waiver on one occasion bar or waive
that right on any future occasion. The rights of the Bank under this Note and
the other Related Documents are in addition to other rights (including without
limitation, other rights of setoff) the Bank may have contractually, by law, in
equity or otherwise, all of which are cumulative and hereby retained by the
Bank. If any provision of this Note cannot be enforced, the remaining portions
of this Note shall continue in effect. The Borrower agrees that the Bank may
provide any information or knowledge the Bank may have about the Borrower or
about any matter relating to this Note or the Related Documents to JPMorgan
Chase & Co., or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their successors,
or to any one or more purchasers or potential purchasers of this Note or the
Related Documents. The Borrower agrees that the Bank may at any time sell,
assign or transfer one or more interests or participations in all or any part of
its rights and obligations in this Note to one or more purchasers whether or not
related to the Bank.

business with the Borrower, or (b) fail to provide documentary and other
evidence of the Borrower's identity as may be requested by the Bank at any time
to enable the Bank to verify the Borrower's identity or to comply with any
applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the
