AMERICAN MEDICAL REIT INC.
PROMISSORY NOTE
$800,000.00
March 3, 2020
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, AMERICAN MEDICAL REIT INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of DSS Securities, Inc. (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, without setoff and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00)(“Note Principal”), together with interest thereon from the date of this Promissory Note (this “Note”). All amounts due under this Note shall be paid on or before March 3, 2022. Interest on the outstanding balance of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eight percent (8.00%) per annum, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note.
1. Payment. The Borrower shall be entitled to prepay or repay all or any portion of this Note at any time, without premium or penalty. Payment of interest shall be made in cash annually in arrears on March 3. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on March 3, 2022. All payments made by the Borrower shall be applied first, to any unpaid accrued interest and second, to the outstanding principal of this Note.
2. Warrants; Additional Note.
(a) As further incentive to enter into this Note, the Borrower hereby grants the Lender warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”). The amount of warrants granted is the equivalent of the Note Principal divided by the Exercise Price. The form of the Warrants, which shall include additional terms and conditions, is attached as Exhibit A. The Warrants shall be exercisable for four (4) years, and are exercisable at $5.00 (the “Exercise Price”). If the Company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”), and the IPO price per share offered to the public (the “IPO Price”) is less than ten (10) dollars a share, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward to fifty percent (50%) of the IPO Price.
(b) The Borrower also grants to Lender the option to lend Borrower up to an additional $800,000 (eight hundred thousand dollars) upon the same terms as this Note and with a grant of Warrants at the same terms included above. This option expires upon the payment of the amounts due under this Note.
3. Default and Remedies. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any amount within five days after the due date thereof, and a subsequent five day cure period, then an “Event of Default” shall exist. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Lender may declare this Note to be due and payable, and the Lender may exercise and shall have any and all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law and this Note or otherwise and may take any such action and exercise any such power as it may elect to enforce its rights and remedies under applicable law and this Note. No right or remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy contained herein, and every such right or remedy contained herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, or otherwise may be exercised separately or in any combination.
4. Representations of the Lender. The Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower the following:

(b) Information. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Borrower and materials relating to the offer and issuance of the Note that have been requested by the Lender. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Borrower. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Lender or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Lender’s right to rely on the Borrower’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Lender understands that its investment in the Note involves a high degree of risk. The Lender has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to entering into the Note.

This Note is specifically subject to approval of the Board of Directors of Singapore eDevelopment, a Singapore limited company and parent company to Lender.
