UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,000,000 October 20, 2023

 

For value received, PARTS iD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Sanjiv Gomes (“Purchaser”), the principal sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with interest accruing on the outstanding principal amount of this unsecured promissory note (this “Note”) at the rate of seven and three-fourths percent (7.75%) per annum, compounded semi-annually, computed on the actual number of days elapsed based on a 365-day year. Interest shall commence with the date hereof and shall continue accruing on the outstanding principal until paid in full. All payments on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Company to such account as the Purchaser may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

 

1. Payment; Maturity.

 

1.1 This Note is an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2023, by and among the Company and the Purchaser, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement or other Loan Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

1.2 All payments of interest and principal in cash shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be applied first to unpaid accrued interest, and thereafter to principal of this Note. If any payments on this Note become due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of Delaware, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. Upon an Event of Default, all amounts of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of this Note shall be payable in accordance with Section 7 below. If not repaid in full, the outstanding principal and the accrued but unpaid interest of this Note (the “Note Amount”) shall become fully due and payable upon October 20, 2024 (such date, the “Maturity Date”).

 

2. Unsecured Obligation. This Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company, and such obligation is not guaranteed by any Person. As used in this Note, “Person” means any natural person, corporation, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association, company, partnership, governmental authority or other entity. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and the Company’s obligations to Purchaser hereunder, are hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the (i) Senior Debt and (ii) Litigation Funding (each as defined below).

 

3. Subordination. The indebtedness represented by this Note is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the indebtedness owed by the Company to Lind Global Fund II LP pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2023, as amended (the “Senior Debt”).

 

 

 

 

4. Subordination to Litigation Funding Sources. Notwithstanding Section 3 above, for the avoidance of doubt, the indebtedness represented by this Note is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the litigation funding provided by Pravati Capital, LLC to the Company pursuant to that certain Litigation Funding Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2023 (the “Litigation Funding”).

 

5. Postpetition Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Purchaser intend for this Note to be an emergency loan advance to bridge the Company to a possible debtor-in-possession financing facility and for this advance to be included as part of that facility; however, if the Court in any Insolvency Proceeding does not approve the inclusion of the amounts under this Note in a debtor-in-possession financing facility, then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts as permitted under applicable laws and regulations to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to cause this Note (and the obligations arising thereunder) to constitute, as adequate protection or otherwise, an allowed administrative expense claim in any future Insolvency Proceeding of the Company, having priority over any and all administrative expenses, diminution claims and all other priority claims against the Company now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever (subject to customary exceptions).

 

6. Incorporation of Terms. The representations and warranties and rights and obligations of transfer and assignment of Purchaser that are set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement are hereby made a part of this Note and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

7. Default; Remedies. The occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement shall be an Event of Default hereunder and the remedies described in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement shall be the remedies available hereunder.

 

8. No Impairment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligation of the Company to pay to the Purchaser the principal hereof and interest hereon as and when the same become due and payable shall remain unimpaired, and nothing shall prevent the holder of this Note, upon default hereunder, from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by applicable law.

 

9. Waiver; Payment of Fees and Expenses. Company waives presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and shall pay all costs of collection when incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses. The right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demands hereunder is hereby waived to the full extent permitted by law. No delay by Purchaser shall constitute a waiver, election or acquiescence by it.

 

10. Cumulative Remedies. Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Purchaser shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Uniform Commercial Code, by law or in equity. No exercise by Purchaser of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Purchaser of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver of such Event of Default or the waiver of any other Event of Default.

 

11. Miscellaneous
