FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, C-Bond Systems, Inc. (fka WestMountain Alternative Energy, Inc.), a Colorado corporation (“Borrower), promises to pay to the order of BOCO Investments, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Lender,” which term will include any transferee of this Note), the outstanding principal balance as set forth in the last entry on the Schedule (as defined in Section 1 below), together with interest (as provided in Section 2 below) and such other amounts as are due and payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to that REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY LOAN And SECURITY AGREEMENT by and between the Borrower and the Lender of even date herewith (as such may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated hereafter, the “Loan Agreement”). This Secured Promissory Note (“Note”) is issued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and additional rights and obligations of the Lender and the Borrower are set forth therein. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. All outstanding principal and accrued interest under this Note shall be due and payable on November 14, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner pre-paid by Borrower.

 

1.  Lender has advanced to Borrower the initial loan sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) at Closing. Lender may advance additional loans to Borrower as set forth in the Loan Agreement up to a Maximum Loan Amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00). Lender shall keep a spreadsheet (the “Schedule”) in which Lender shall enter: (a) the principal amount of each loan it makes to the Borrower pursuant to this Note and the accompanying Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”); (b) interest, fees or other charges payable by Borrower under the Transaction Agreements; (c) the amount of any payment made by the Borrower in satisfaction of any amount due under the Transaction Agreements; (d) the manner in which any payment by the Borrower is applied; and, (e) the outstanding principal and interest balance under this Note as of the date of each payment or Loan Date. Lender need not calculate accrued interest, penalties or other amounts except on payment dates (to include the Maturity Date) or Loan Dates (such that the Schedule may accurately reflect amounts due and owing on such dates). The Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to keep the Schedule as described in Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement.Borrower may request a copy of the Schedule from Lender at any time upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice. A copy of the Schedule, signed and dated by Lender, must be attached as Exhibit A hereto in the event of any transfer or assignment of this Note or in the event Lender commences legal action to enforce the same.

a.On the outstanding principal balance advanced to Borrower under the Transaction Agreements accrued at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded annually.

 

b.Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Transaction Agreements, all amounts then outstanding under this Note (including principal and interest) shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, compounded annually, until the Event of Default is cured.

c.Interest will accrue from day to day and will be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty five (365) days and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.

 

d.Notwithstanding any other provision of the Transaction Agreements, interest under the Transaction Agreements shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. If any amount is paid under the Transaction Agreements as interest in excess of such maximum rate, then the amount so paid will not constitute interest but will constitute a payment on account of the principal amount advanced to the Borrower pursuant to the Transaction Agreements. If such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of this Note, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower.

 

3.  The Borrower shall make such mandatory pre-payments to Lender as required in the Loan Agreement and shall pay to Lender all principal and accrued interest on or before the Maturity Date. All payments received from Borrower for application to amounts due under this Note shall first be applied to interest, then to any costs, fees or other amounts chargeable by Lender under the Transaction Agreements, then to outstanding principal. All payments shall be in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds and made to the Lender at 262 E. Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80524 or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
