                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

Amount $500,000                                    Issue Date: September 8, 2008


1. PROMISE TO PAY. Smoky Market Foods, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Maker")
located at 804 Estates Dr., Suite 100, Aptos, CA 95003, for value received,
hereby promises to pay to Jimma Lee Beam Revocable Trust ("Noteholder") on the
Maturity Date (as defined below), at 3554 Wild Cherry Court, Las Vegas, NV
89121, the sum of $500,000, plus unpaid interest that has accrued on the unpaid
principal as set forth in the Promissory Note (this "Note").

2. ACCRUAL AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. Interest shall not accrue or be payable on
the Note.

3. MATURITY DATE; TERM. Payment in full of the principal and interest accrued on
this Note shall be due on the Maturity Date. The Maturity Date shall be the
two-year anniversary of the Issue Date.

4. PREPAYMENT. Maker may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time
without penalty.

5. DEFAULT. If one or more of the following events (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT")
shall have occurred and be continuing:

         (a) if Maker shall fail to pay any principal on this Note, or interest
thereon, when due; or

         (b) if any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Maker is
commenced (whether voluntary or involuntary); provided, however, in the event
that this subsection 5(b) is the only basis for an Event of Default, such Event
of Default shall be deemed to have been cured if such proceeding was not
initiated by or on behalf of the Maker and such proceeding is stayed, dismissed,
bonded or vacated within sixty (60) days of such Maker's receipt of notice
thereof;

then, the Noteholder may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have
been remedied) at its option, declare the entire principal and interest of the
Note then remaining unpaid to be due and payable immediately. Any forbearance,
failure or delay by the Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy under this
Note or otherwise available to the Noteholder shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
or remedy preclude the further exercise of such right or remedy.

and its successors and assigns. This Note shall not be transferable or
assignable, by operation of law or otherwise, by Maker or the Noteholder without
the express written consent of the other and without compliance with applicable
securities laws.

         (c) Maker hereby waives notice, demand, notice of nonpayment,
