FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Renewable Innovations, Inc., a Nevada corporation, its assigns and successors (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to Robert L. Mount, or his successors or assigns (the “Holder”), in immediately available funds, the total principal sum of up to Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) (the “Maximum Amount”), in accordance with the terms of this Line of Credit Promissory Note (this “Note”). The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable to Holder in accordance with Section 2, below (unless such payment date is accelerated as provided in Section 5 hereof). Payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be made at the address of the Holder provided for in Section 7 hereof. Interest shall accrue at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum, calculated and accrued monthly (the “Interest Rate”) on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date funds have been advanced and shall continue to accrue until all unpaid principal and interest is paid in full.

 

1. LINE OF CREDIT. From time to time, as agreed between the Company and Holder, the Holder shall deposit funds with the Company (each a “Loan Advance”), up to the Maximum Amount. Each Loan Advance shall be recorded and updated on the schedule (the “Schedule”) on Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Holder and the Company must initial each Loan Advance for it to become an obligation of the Company, and any loans or other advances made by Holder to the Company which are not recorded on the Schedule will not be considered a part of this Note.

 

2. REPAYMENT: On the date which is twenty-four (24) months after the date first set forth above (the “Maturity Date”), the Company shall pay the entire principal and interest accrued in immediately available funds of the Company.

 

3. PREPAYMENT. The Company may prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note, in whole or in part, at any time.

 

4. TRANSFERABILITY. This Note shall not be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or assigned by either party without the express written consent of the other party. In the event any third party acquires a controlling interest in the Company or acquires substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Reorganization Event”), this Note will survive and become an obligation of the party that acquires such controlling interest or assets, and all principal and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable. In the event of a Reorganization Event, the Company agrees to make the party that acquires such controlling interest or assets, aware of the terms of this Section and this Note.
