$2,300,000December 11, 2023

 

This junior secured promissory note (this “Note”) amends and restates in its entirety that certain Unsecured Promissory Note, dated as of October 20, 2023 (the “Original Note”), issued by PARTS iD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) to Sanjiv Gomes. For value received, the Company hereby promises to pay the aggregate principal sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,300,000), as follows: to the order of (i) Sanjiv Gomes, the principal sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (“Tranche A”) and (ii) Lev Peker (“Agent”), the principal sum of One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000) (“Tranche B”). The outstanding principal amount of Tranche A shall accrue interest 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 with respect to Tranche A shall commence with the date hereof and shall continue accruing on the outstanding principal of Tranche A until paid in full. The outstanding principal amount of Tranche B shall bear no interest. 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 Purchasers may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each Purchaser hereby appoints the Agent to act as its agent hereunder, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

1. Payment; Maturity.

 

1.1 This Note is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2023, by and among the Company and the Purchasers (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 applicable payments of interest and principal in cash shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be applied as determined by the Purchasers. 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 (as applicable) of this Note shall be payable in accordance with Section 4 below. If not repaid in full, the outstanding principal and the accrued but unpaid interest (as applicable) of this Note (the “Note Amount”) shall become fully due and payable upon December 11, 2024 (such date, the “Maturity Date”).

 

 

 

 

1.3 Security Interest. As security for the payment and performance of the obligations representing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, the Company hereby grants to Purchasers a junior security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all of the assets of the Company, excluding the proceeds from the Existing Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in that certain Security Agreement, dated July 14, 2023, by and between the Company and Lind Global Fund II LP (“Lind”) (the “Collateral”). The security interest granted to Purchasers hereunder shall be (i) expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the indebtedness owed by the Company to Lind pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2023, as amended; and (ii) secures payment and performance of all obligations of the Company to the Purchasers under this Note, including all unpaid principal and all other amounts payable by the Company to the Purchasers under this Note whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, including any interest that accrues after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. As used herein, “Insolvency Proceeding” means any proceeding commenced, by the filing of a petition for relief, by or against any person under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any other bankruptcy or insolvency law, including assignments for the benefit of creditors. The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction which the Agent considers necessary to perfect each Purchaser’s interest in the Collateral any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of the Company or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such other jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such other jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether the Company is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to the Company. The Company agrees to furnish any such information to the Agent promptly upon the Agent’s reasonable request.

 

2. Postpetition Financing. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Company and the Purchasers 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).

 

3. Incorporation of Terms. The representations and warranties and rights and obligations of transfer and assignment of the Purchasers 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.

 

4. 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.

 

5. No Impairment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligation of the Company to pay to the Purchasers 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.

 

6. 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 the Purchasers shall constitute a waiver, election or acquiescence by it.

7. Cumulative Remedies. The Agent (acting on the instructions of the Purchasers) may exercise all rights and remedies under this Note and the other Loan Documents. The Purchasers 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 the Purchasers of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Purchasers 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.
