FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NextGen Pro, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NextGen”), and RumbleOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”; NextGen and Parent collectively herein called the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”), both jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of BRF Finance Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (herein called “Lender”), at its offices in 30780 Russell Ranch Rd Suite 250, Westlake Village, CA 91362 , or at such other place as the holder of this note may hereafter designate in writing, in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this note from time to time outstanding until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at the Stated Rate and interest on all past due principal and other past due amounts owing hereunder at the Past Due Rate.

 

"Stated Rate" means, on any day, a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%). "Past Due Rate" means, on any day , a rate per annum equal to the Stated Rate plus six percent (6%). Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days.

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this note or any other document, it is expressly provided that in no case or event (A) shall the aggregate of (i) all interest on the unpaid balance hereof accrued or paid from the date hereof and (ii) the aggregate of any other amounts accrued or paid pursuant hereto which under applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest upon the indebtedness evidenced hereby, ever exceed the maximum rate of interest which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received on the unpaid principal balance of this note; or (B) shall Borrowers be obligated to pay interest and other amounts described above at a rate which could subject the Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate being in excess of the maximum rate which the Lender is permitted to charge under applicable law. In this connection, it is expressly stipulated and agreed that it is the intent of the Borrowers and the Lender to contract in strict compliance with the applicable federal and state usury laws (whichever permit the higher rate of interest) from time to time in effect.

 

On the first day of each calendar month during the term of this note, interest hereunder shall be due and payable and shall be paid and discharged by adding the accrued but unpaid interest to the principal amount of this note, whereupon it shall be deemed to be a portion of the principal amount outstanding hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, the accrual of interest). This note shall be due and payable in an amount equal to the principal of this note which then remains unpaid, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, on September 30, 2021, the final maturity of this note. On or after maturity, interest on this note shall be payable on demand.

 

This note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. All outstanding amounts under this this note shall be immediately prepaid in full without premium or penalty in the event that the Parent shall issue either debt or equity, or a combination thereof, in one or more transactions occurring on or following May 1, 2021 resulting in cash proceeds to the Parent from such transactions in excess of $2,650,000 net of transaction costs. All prepayments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest, the balance to principal.

 

 

Borrowers' failure to pay any principal or accrued interest on this note when due or Borrowers' failure to pay any other amount payable pursuant to this note within five (5) days of written demand or the occurrence of any default of any other obligation in this note that is not remedied within ten (10) days of the earlier of (1) written notice thereof or (2) a Borrower obtaining knowledge thereof or an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect is commenced against either Borrower and such petition remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days or any Borrower shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of such Borrower or any substantial part of its respective property or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or any Borrower shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or any action shall be taken by any Borrower in furtherance of any of the foregoing purposes, in each case, shall constitute default under this note, whereupon the holder of this note may elect to exercise any or all rights, powers and remedies afforded (a) as set forth in this note with regard to the Collateral (as defined below) and under all writings related to this note and (b) by law, including the right to accelerate the maturity of this entire note.

 

Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay on written demand all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Lender with respect to any amendments or waivers hereof or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any of the obligations of Borrowers to Lender under this note or in preserving any of Lender’s rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting this note, including without limitation, the enforcement of any lien on the Collateral or of the obligations thereunder or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Borrower) and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender in analyzing, exercising, or addressing any rights of Lender in connection with any future actions of the Lender or Borrowers.  Any such amounts shall be deemed to be outstanding under this note and shall be payable on written demand.
