Loan Schedule

iCoreConnect, Inc.

This Schedule forms an integral part of the Note between Borrower and the Lender party thereto.

Preamble. Loan Amount. The loan amount will be $6,000.00 (the “Loan Amount”).

Section 1(a) – Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Loan Amount at a rate of 15.0% per annum. During the existence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at the lesser of (i) the rate of 20% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law.

Section 1(b) – Payment Amounts:

Borrower shall make payments of the outstanding Loan Amount and accrued and unpaid interest as follows:

	·	Monthly interest-only payments; provided the Borrower may, at its option, pay such interest payment by adding such interest to the outstanding Loan Amount on such interest payment date.
	·	On the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding Loan Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable, as calculated by the Borrower.

Section 1(c) – Maturity Date: The Maturity Date shall be June 14, 2024.

Section 1(d) –Conversion: If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower consummates the business combination between FG Merger Corp. (“FGMC”) and Borrower pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among FG Merger Corp., FG Merger Sub Inc., and iCoreConnect, Inc. dated January 5, 2023, as such agreement may be amended from time to time (the “Business Combination”), then, commencing immediately prior to such business combination, the Note along with any accrued and unpaid interest will automatically convert into Common Stock of the Borrower at a twenty percent discount to the Exchange Ratio as defined in the Business Combination. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, Borrower shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

If the Business Combination does not occur on or prior to September 1, 2023, then the Note will be convertible at the option of the Issuer at a twenty percent discount to the Company’s Common Stock price at the closing of September 1, 2023, subject to a floor price of $0.25 (the “Floor Price”), with the ability to convert until the Note is repaid in full or at the Maturity Date, whichever occurs first. The Issuer must convert a minimum of fifty percent of the outstanding Loan balance on any conversion. All non-converted and outstanding balances will be paid as outlined in 1(b).

If the Borrower, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock equivalents, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Borrower, then the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Borrower) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
