FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (“Investor”), hereby promises to pay to Future FinTech Group Inc., a Florida corporation (“Company”, and together with Investor, the “Parties”), the principal sum of $500,000.00 together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder, all as set forth below in this Investor Note (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, entered into by and between Investor and Company (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Company issued to Investor that certain Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,060,000.00 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Company Note”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

1. Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance and any unpaid late fees or other fees under this Note at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum until the full amount of the principal and fees has been paid. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law, as provided in Section 12 below. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, under this Note, shall be due and payable on the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof (the “Investor Note Maturity Date”); provided, however, that Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend the Investor Note Maturity Date for up to thirty (30) days by delivering written notice of such election to Company at any time prior to the Investor Note Maturity Date.

2. Payment. Unless prepaid, all principal and accrued interest under this Note is payable in one lump sum on the Investor Note Maturity Date. All payments of interest and principal shall be (i) in lawful money of the United States of America, and (ii) in the form of immediately available funds. All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal. Payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be delivered to Company at the address furnished to Investor for that purpose.

3. Prepayment by Investor. Investor may, with Company’s consent, pay, without penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding balance along with any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note at any time prior to the Investor Note Maturity Date.

4. Security; Collateral. Investor may, in its sole discretion, designate collateral (the “Collateral”) as it deems fit, as security for Investor’s obligations hereunder, which Collateral may be, but is not required to be, real property, a letter of credit with a financial institution determined by Investor in its sole discretion, or pledged membership interests. Upon Investor’s designation of Collateral, each of Investor and Company shall timely execute any and all documents necessary or advisable in order to properly grant a security interest upon the Collateral in favor of Company.

5. Release. Company covenants and agrees that in the event that this Note is secured by Collateral, Company shall timely execute any and all documents necessary or advisable in order to release such security interest and Collateral to Investor, or Investor’s designee immediately following the date this Note is paid in full (the “Release Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, as of the date hereof, there is no Collateral securing this Note, and after the Release Date, as applicable, there shall be no Collateral securing this Note.

6. Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, in the event (i) of the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Company Note) under the Company Note or any other note issued by Company in connection with the Purchase Agreement, (ii) of a breach of any material term, condition, representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Company under any Transaction Document, or (iii) Company sells, transfers, assigns, pledges or hypothecates this Note, or attempts to do any of the foregoing, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Investor shall be entitled to deduct and offset any amount owing by Company under the Company Note from any amount owed by Investor under this Note (the “Investor Offset Right”), provided that if any of the foregoing events occur and Investor has not yet exercised the Investor Offset Right, the Investor Offset Right shall be automatically exercised on the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Investor Note Maturity Date (an “Automatic Offset”). Other than with respect to an Automatic Offset, Investor may only elect to exercise the Investor Offset Right by delivering to Company an offset notice in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A to the Company Note or another form of Investor’s choosing. In the event that Investor’s exercise of the Investor Offset Right under this Section 6 results in the full satisfaction of Investor’s obligations under this Note, then Company shall return this Note to Investor for cancellation or, in the event this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, Company shall provide Investor with a lost note affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to Investor.

7. Default. If any of the events specified below shall occur (each, an “Investor Note Default”), Company may declare the unpaid principal balance under this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to Investor. If any default, other than a Payment Default (as defined below), is curable, then the default may be cured (and no Investor Note Default will have occurred) if Investor, after receiving written notice from Company demanding cure of such default, either (i) cures the default within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice, or (ii) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps that Company deems in Company’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter diligently continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. Each of the following events shall constitute an Investor Note Default:

7.1. Failure to Pay. Investor’s failure to make any payment when due and payable under this Note (a “Payment Default”);

7.2. Breaches of Covenants. Investor’s failure to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Note;
