SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$3,000,000   As of July 6, 2021 (the “Effective Date”)

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, EnderbyWorks, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) hereby promises to pay, on or before the Maturity Date (as that term is defined hereinbelow), to the order of CurrencyWorks USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or its successors or assigns (“Lender”), at such address as the Lender may specify in writing, the principal sum (“Principal Amount”) of Three Million US Dollars ($3,000,000), Two Million US Dollars ($2,000,000) to be paid within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date and One Million US Dollars ($1,000,000) to be paid by no later than the earlier of fifteen (15) days after the first NFT auction or September 30, 2021, plus accrued interest, in lawful money of the United States of America, or such amount thereof as has been advanced hereunder, in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth below (collectively, the “Indebtedness”). This Note (“Note”) is being executed in connection with that certain Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and Lender in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and Lender’s obligation to advance funds is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) Debtor’s execution and delivery of the Security Agreement, and (b) Debtor’s execution and delivery of a Distribution License Agreement between Debtor and 92 Films, LLC, in a form approved by Lender (the “Distribution Agreement”).

 

1. Payment of Interest; Maturity.

 

(a) Interest. Commencing on the Effective Date, interest shall commence accruing on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at 6% per annum.

 

(b) Maturity. The Indebtedness shall be payable from the proceeds to be received by Borrower in connection with the exploitation of its rights under the Distribution Agreement and all amounts outstanding hereunder shall be due three (3) years from the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”).

 

2. Prepayment. The undersigned may prepay the principal of this Note in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, upon at least 2 business days’ prior written notice to the Lender and all prepayments of the principal of this Note shall be accompanied by the full payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on this Note through the date of prepayment. Any prepayment under this Section of less than all of the amounts due under this Note shall be applied first to the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest, and second to the principal amount.

 

3. Lender’s Rights Upon Default. If an “Event of Default” has occurred and such default remains uncured for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice under this Note or the Security Agreement (other than a payment default, for which only five (5) days written notice shall be required), then the principal balance of this Note shall thereafter, immediately commence accruing, at the lower of 18% per annum, and the highest rate permitted by applicable law. If any amount due hereunder is not paid when due, the Lender shall have, in addition to the rights set forth herein, in the Security Agreement and under law, the right to compound interest (i.e. the interest as provided in this Section 3) by adding the unpaid interest to principal, with such amount thereafter bearing interest at the rate provided in this Note.
