PROMISSORY NOTE
                 
Borrower:
  PLANET BEACH FRANCHISING CORPORATION       Lender:   Whitney National Bank
 
  5161 TRAVELLA ROAD           Corporate Banking — Group 2A
 
  MARRERO, LA 70072           P. O. Box 61260
 
              New Orleans, LA 70161-9967
         
Principal Amount: $747,313.88    Interest Rate: 8.250%    Date of Note: July 19, 2007 
PROMISE TO PAY. PLANET BEACH FRANCHISING CORPORATION (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of Whitney National Bank (“Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America the sum of Seven Hundred Forty-seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirteen & 88/100 Dollars (U.S. $747,313.88), together with simple interest at the rate of 8.250% per annum assessed on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as outstanding from time to time, commencing on July 19, 2007 and continuing until this Note is paid in full.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in 59 regular payments of $9,216.12 each and one irregular last payment estimated at $459,755.16. Borrower’s first payment is due August 19, 2007, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower’s final payment due on July 19, 2012, may be greater if Borrower does not make payments as scheduled. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual Interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
PREPAYMENT. Other than Borrower’s obligation to pay any prepayment penalty, Borrower may prepay this Note in full at any time by paying the then unpaid principal balance of this Note, plus accrued simple interest and any unpaid late charges through date of prepayment. If Borrower prepays this Note in full, or if Lender accelerates payment, Borrower understands that, unless otherwise required by law, any prepaid fees or charges will not be subject to rebate and will be earned by Lender at the time this Note is signed. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer payments. 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: WHITNEY NATIONAL BANK, SPECIAL CREDITS DEPARTMENT, P. O. BOX 61260, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70161-9967.
LATE CHARGE. If Borrower fails to pay any payment under this Note in full within 10 days of when due, Borrower agrees to pay Lender a late payment fee in an amount equal to 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $15.00, whichever is greater. Late charges will not be assessed following declaration of default and acceleration of the maturity of this Note.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. If Lender declares this Note to be in default, Lender has the right prospectively to adjust and fix the simple interest rate under this Note until this Note is paid in full, as follows: (A) If the original principal amount of this Note is $250,000 or less, the fixed default interest rate shall be equal to eighteen (18%) percent per annum, or three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the interest rate under this Note, whichever is greater. (B) If the original principal amount of this Note is more than $250,000, the fixed default interest rate shall be equal to twenty-one (21%) percent per annum, or three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the interest rate under this Note at the time of default, whichever is greater.
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.
Default Under Security Agreements. Should Borrower or any guarantor violate, or fail to comply fully with any of the terms and conditions of, or default under any security right, instrument, document, or agreement directly or indirectly securing repayment of this Note.

absolute or contingent, due or to become due, of any nature and kind whatsoever (with the exception of any indebtedness under a consumer credit card account), and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower is granting Lender a continuing security interest in any and all funds that Borrower may now and in the future have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which Borrower is an account holder (with the exception of IRA, pension, and other tax-deferred deposits). Borrower further agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, Lender may at any time apply any funds that Borrower may have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which Borrower is an account holder against the unpaid balance of this Note and any and all other present and future indebtedness and obligations that Borrower may then owe to Lender, in principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
COLLATERAL. Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by collateral referenced in separate security documents. Collateral securing other loans with Lender may also secure this Note as the result of cross-collateralization.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower agrees to provide Lender with such financial statements and other related information at such frequencies and in such detail as Lender may reasonably request.
ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL. To the extent permitted by applicable law, as further collateral security for the repayment of this Note/Credit Agreement and all renewals and extensions, as well as to secure any and all other loans, notes, indebtedness and obligations, in principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, that Borrower (or any of them) may now and in the future owe to Lender or incur in Lender’s favor, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, of any nature and kind whatsoever (with the exception of any indebtedness under a consumer credit card account), Borrower is granting Lender a continuing security interest in, all property of Borrower of every nature or kind whatsoever (with the exception of IRA, pension, and other tax-deferred accounts) owned by Borrower or in which Borrower has an interest that is now or hereafter on deposit with, in the possession of, under the control of or held by Lender in definitive form, book entry form or in safekeeping, custodian accounts, securities accounts, also including all deposit accounts, money, funds on deposit In checking, savings, custodian and other accounts, instruments, negotiable instruments, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, stocks, bonds, treasury bills and other securities, investment property, financial assets, security entitlements, documents, documents of title, payment intangibles, goods, chattel paper, and any general intangibles not previously listed, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a right of set-off and/or compensation with respect to all such property. All above types of collateral shall have the meaning provided in UCC Rev. Art. 9, as adopted and revised in the state that governs this agreement. Borrower further hereby releases Lender from any obligation to take any steps to collect proceeds of or preserve any of Borrower’s rights, including, without limitation, rights against prior parties, in the collateral in which Lender possesses a security interest, and Lender’s only duty with respect to such collateral shall be solely to use reasonable care in the physical preservation of the collateral which is in the actual possession of Lender.
CONFESSION OF JUDGEMENT AND WAIVERS. For the purposes of executory process, Borrower hereby acknowledges the debt created hereby and confesses judgment in favor of Lender for the full amount of the debt evidenced by this Note/Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby expressly waives (a) the benefit of appraisement provided in the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and (b) the demand and three (3) days delay accorded by Articles 2639 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure.
ADDITIONAL DEFAULTS AND ACCELERATION. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in addition to the events of default set forth above, Lender shall have the right, at its sole option, to insist upon immediate payment (to accelerate the maturity) of this Note should any type of lien, judgment, levy, seizure, garnishment, tax lien, or court order occur affecting any assets of Borrower, or any guarantor, surety or accommodation party (or any one of them) on this Note; should Borrower, or any guarantor, surety or accommodation party (or any one of them) on this Note, die, become insolvent, or file a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or be adjudged a bankrupt.
NO NOVATION IF EARLIER NOTE CANCELLED. If an earlier note of any Borrower is cancelled at the time of execution hereof, then this Note constitutes an extension, but not a novation, of the amount of the continuing indebtedness, and Borrower agrees that all security rights held by Lender under the earlier note shall continue in full force and effect.
OTHER COSTS AND FEES. Borrower further agrees to pay any and all charges, fees, costs and/or taxes levied or assessed against Lender in connection with this Note and/or any collateral, asset or other property which is pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or assigned to Lender or in which Lender possesses a security interest, as security for this Note.
WAIVERS. Borrower and each guarantor of this Note hereby waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest and notice of nonpayment, and all pleas of division and discussion, and severally agree that their obligations and liabilities to Lender hereunder shall be on a “solidary” or “joint and several” basis. Borrower and each guarantor further severally agree that discharge or release of any party who is or may be liable to Lender for the indebtedness represented hereby, or the release of any collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment hereof, shall not have the effect of releasing any other party or parties, who shall remain liable to Lender, or of releasing any other collateral that is not expressly released by Lender. Borrower and each guarantor additionally agree that Lender’s acceptance of payment other than in accordance with the terms of this Note, or Lender’s subsequent agreement to extend or modify such repayment terms, or Lender’s failure or delay in exercising any rights or remedies granted to Lender, shall likewise not have the effect of releasing Borrower or any other party or parties from their respective obligations to Lender, or of releasing any collateral that directly or indirectly secures repayment hereof. In addition, any failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any of the rights and remedies granted to Lender shall not have the effect of waiving any of Lender’s rights and remedies. Any partial exercise of any rights and/or remedies granted to Lender shall furthermore not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies; it being Borrower’s intent and agreement that Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative in nature. Borrower and each guarantor further agree that, should any default event occur or exist under this Note, any waiver or forbearance on the part of Lender to pursue the rights and remedies available to Lender, shall be binding upon Lender only to the extent that Lender’s specifically agrees to any such waiver or forbearance in writing. A waiver or forbearance on the part of Lender as to one default event shall not be construed as a waiver or forbearance as to any other default. Borrower and each guarantor of this Note further agree that any late charges provided for under this Note will not be charges for deferral of time for payment and will not and are not intended to compensate Lender’s for a grace or cure period, and no such deferral, grace or cure period has or will be granted to Borrower in return for the imposition of any late charge. Borrower recognizes that Borrower’s failure to make timely payment of amounts due under this Note will result in damages to Lender, including but not limited to Lender’s loss of the use of amounts due, and Borrower agrees that any late charges imposed by Lender hereunder will represent reasonable compensation to Lender for such damages. Failure to pay in full any installment or payment timely when due under this Note, whether or not a late charge is assessed, will remain and shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS LIABLE. Borrower’s and each guarantor’s obligations and agreements under this Note shall be binding upon Borrower’s and each guarantor’s respective successors, heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors and assigns. The rights and remedies granted to Lender under this Note shall inure to the benefit of Lender’s successors and assigns, as well as to any subsequent holder or holders of this Note.
CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Note are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Note.
SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court, that provision shall be deleted from this Note and the balance of this Note shall be interpreted as if the deleted provision never existed.
SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrower’s successors, heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.
APPLICABLE LENDING LAW. To the extent not preempted by federal law, this business or commercial loan is being made under the terms and provisions of La. R.S. 9:3509, et seq.

CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all Borrowers obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even when Lender has not exhausted Lender’s remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Borrower’s Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Borrower’s Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Borrower’s Indebtedness. Guarantor will make any payments to Lender or its order, on demand, in same-day funds, without set-off or deduction or counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrower’s obligations under the Note and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability is unlimited and Guarantor’s obligations are continuing.
BORROWER’S INDEBTEDNESS. The words “Borrower’s Indebtedness” as used in this Guaranty mean all of the principal amount outstanding from Urns to time and at any one or more times, accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto permitted by law, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from any and all present and future loans, loan advances, extensions of credit, obligations and/or liabilities that Borrower Individually or collectively or interchangeably with others, owes or will owe or Incur In favor of Lender whether direct or Indirect, or by way of assignment or purchase of a participation interest, and whether absolute or contingent, voluntary or involuntary, determined or undetermined, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due, secured or unsecured, and whether Borrower may be liable individually, jointly or solidarily with others, whether primarily or secondarily, or as a guarantor or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising, of every nature and kind whatsoever,
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties from Guarantor, Lender’s rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or Invalidate any such other guaranties. Guarantor’s liability will be Guarantor’s aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
JOINT, SEVERAL AND SOLIDARY LIABILITY. Guarantor’s obligations and liability under this Guaranty shall be on a “solidary” or “joint and several” basis along with Borrower to the same degree and extent as if Guarantor had been and/or will be a co-borrower, co-principal obligor and/or co-maker of Borrower’s Indebtedness. In the event that there Is more than one Guarantor under this Guaranty, or In the event That there are other guarantors, endorsers or sureties of all or any portion of Borrower’s Indebtedness, Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder shall further be on a “solidary” or “joint and several” basis along with such other guarantors, endorsers and/or sureties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A “CONTINUING GUARANTY” UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR ‘HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE BORROWERS INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Agreement and Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until such time as this Agreement may be cancelled or otherwise terminated by Lender under a written cancellation instrument In favor of Guarantor (subject to the automatic reinstatement provisions herein below). It Is anticipated that fluctuations may occur In the aggregate amount of Borrower’s Indebtedness guaranteed under this Agreement and it is specifically acknowledged and agreed to by Guarantor that reductions In the amount of Borrower’s Indebtedness, even to zero ($0.00) dollars, prior to Lender’s written cancellation of this Agreementashall not constitute or give rise to a termination of this Agreement.
CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT; EFFECT. Unless otherwise indicated under such a written cancellation instrument, Lender’s agreement to terminate or otherwise cancel this Guaranty shall affect only, and shall be expressly limited to, Guarantor’s continuing obligations and liability to guarantee Borrower’s Indebtedness incurred, originated and/or extended (without prior commitment) after the date of such a written cancellation Instrument; with Guarantor remaining fully obligated and liable under this Guaranty for any and all of Borrower’s Indebtedness Incurred, originated, extended, or committed to prior to the date of such a written cancellation instrument Nothing under this Guaranty or under any other agreement or understanding by and between Guarantor and Lender, shall In any way obligate, or be construed to obligate, Lender to agree to the subsequent termination or cancellation of Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder; it being fully understood and agreed to by Guarantor that Lender has and intends to continue to rely on Guarantor’s assets, Income and financial resources In extending credit and other Indebtedness to and In favor of Borrower, and that to release Guarantor from Guarantor’s continuing obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty would so prejudice Lender that Lender may, within its sole and uncontrolled discretion and judgment, refuse to release Guarantor from any of Guarantor’s continuing obligations and liability under this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever as long as any of Borrower’s Indebtedness remains unpaid and outstanding, or otherwise.
OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS. It Guarantor Is married, Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that recourse may be had against both Guarantor’s separate property and Guarantees community property for all Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.
DEFAULT. Should any event of default occur or exist under any of Borrower’s Indebtedness, Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely agrees to pay Lender the then unpaid amount of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Such payment or payments shall be made at Lender’s offices indicated above, immediately following demand by Lender.

on behalf of Borrower under Borrowers Indebtedness, or (C) make any payment to Lender in total or partial satisfaction of Borrowers obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, or (D) if any of Borrower’s property is used to pay or satisfy any of Borrower’s Indebtedness, Guarantor hereby agrees that any and all rights that Guarantor may have or acquire to collect from or to be reimbursed by Borrower (or from or by any other guarantor, endorser or surety of Borrowers Indebtedness), whether Guarantor’s rights of collection or reimbursement arise by way of subrogation to the rights of Lender or otherwise, shall in all respects, whether or not Borrower is presently or subsequently becomes Insolvent, be subordinate, inferior and junior to the rights of Lender to collect and enforce payment, performance and satisfaction of Borrower’s Indebtedness that then remains, until such time as Borrowers Indebtedness is fully paid and satisfied. In the event of Borrower’s Insolvency or consequent liquidation of Borrower’s assets, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to Borrower’s Indebtedness that then remains. Guarantor hereby assigns to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire against Borrower or any assignee or trustee of Borrower in bankruptcy; provided that, such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment of Borrower’s Indebtedness guaranteed under this Guaranty.
GUARANTOR’S RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from attempting to collect and/or enforce any of Guarantor’s collection and/or reimbursement rights against Borrower (or against any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness), arising by way of subrogation or otherwise, until such time as all of Borrower’s Indebtedness that then remains is fully paid and satisfied. In the event that Guarantor should for any reason whatsoever receive any payment(s) from Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness) that Borrower (or such a third party) may owe to Guarantor for any of the reasons stated above, Guarantor agrees to accept such payment(s) In trust for and on behalf of Lender, advising Borrower (or the third party payee) of such fact. Guarantor further unconditionally agrees to immediately deliver such funds to Lender, with such funds being held by Guarantor over any interim period, In trust for Lender. In the event that Guarantor should for any reason whatsoever receive any such funds from Borrower (or any third party), and Guarantor should deposit such funds in one or more of Guarantor’s deposit accounts, no matter where located, Lender shall have the right to attach any and all of Guarantor’s deposit accounts in which such funds were deposited, whether or not such funds were commingled with other monies of Guarantor, and whether or not such funds then remain on deposit in such en account or accounts. To this end and to secure Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, Guarantor collaterally assigns and pledges to Lender, end grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all of Guarantor’s present and future rights, title and Interest in and to all monies that Guarantor may now and/or in the future maintain on deposit with banks, savings and loan associations and other entities (other than tax deferred accounts with Lender), In which Guarantor may at any time deposit any such funds that may be received from Borrower (or any other guarantor, endorser or surety of Borrower’s Indebtedness).
