(formerly known as FreightHub, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“FR8App”), FREIGHT APP DE MEXICO, S.A.

BACKGROUND

 

Borrower has requested and Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrower and Borrower has agreed to grant the liens and security interests set forth herein to secure the Obligations (as defined below).

 

NOW THEREFORE, with the foregoing background incorporated by reference as if set forth more fully below, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Loan. On the date hereof, and subject to terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender agrees to make a loan to Borrower in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the “Principal Amount”).

 

2. Principal Amount and Interest.

 

(a) FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower, jointly and severally, promise to pay, in lawful money of the United States, to the order of Lender, at the offices of Lender (or at such other address as Lender may designate to Borrower) the Principal Amount funded by such Lender, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs and expenses accrued on the Principal Amount. The Principal Amount shall be due and payable in full on June 17, 2027 unless otherwise extended by Lender in its sole discretion.

 

(b) Borrower further agrees to, commencing as of July 1, 2026, pay interest on the outstanding balance of the Principal Amount at the per annum rate equal to ten percent (10.0%). Interest shall be calculated on the outstanding Principal Amount on a 365 day year based on the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing July 1, 2026. If Borrower has insufficient cash to make the scheduled payments of interest, or such interest payments are not made for any reason, such interest or portion thereof, may at Lender’s option and sole discretion be permitted to be paid in kind by Borrower by adding such interest to the Principal Amount. In no event shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto.

 

1

 

 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Lender’s option, interest on the unpaid Principal Amount shall accrue at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus two percent (2.0%).

 

(d) Upon any principal payment of the Principal Amount (whether voluntary, upon acceleration, at maturity or before or after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding), Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium of ten 10.0% of the principal amount repaid (such premium referred to as the “Payment Premium”).

 

(e) The Obligations (as defined herein) outstanding under this Agreement may be prepaid at any time, subject to the payment of Payment Premium. Prepayments of any kind and payments received by Lender shall be applied to the Obligations, first, to the Payment Premium, second, to all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and then to the Principal Amount.

 

(f) Borrower shall utilize the proceeds of the advances made hereunder to repay the existing credit facility provided by Capital Foundry Funding, LLC.

 

(g) Within 14 days following the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver a fully executed deposit account control agreement with respect to its deposit accounts, which agreements shall provide that all amounts collected in such deposit accounts shall be swept to Lender on at least a weekly basis. All amounts received by Lender from such collections shall be immediately applied to repay first, the accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and interest, and then to the outstanding Principal Amount.

 

(h) Within 30 days following the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender fully executed security agreements and any other documents necessary to make the secured obligations of FRGT and FRGT Mexico hereunder enforceable under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Mexico, as applicable, and secured by a lien on all assets of FRGT and FRGT Mexico enforceable under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Mexico, as applicable, together with delivery of customary legal opinions with respect to such documents, in each in case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

3. Grant of Security Interest. In order to secure all existing and future liabilities and obligations of every kind or nature at any time owing by Borrower to Lender in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or administration thereof (including without limitation, the Principal Amount), whether joint or several, related or unrelated, primary or secondary, matured or contingent, direct or indirect, due or to become due, and whether principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), and any extensions, modifications, substitutions, increases and renewals thereof, and the payment of all reasonable amounts advanced or costs incurred by Lender, to preserve, protect and enforce its rights hereunder and/or in connection herewith (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding) (collectively, the “Obligations”), Borrower hereby grants to Lender a perfected security interest in all of Borrower’s now owned or hereafter acquired, arising or created, wherever located accounts, accounts receivable, documents, contract rights, all rights to the payment of money, furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery, inventory, instruments, investment property, cash, cash equivalents, deposit accounts, chattel paper, licenses, trademarks, tradenames, patents, copyrights, and the books and records, general intangibles, all other assets and all cash and non-cash proceeds (including, without limitation, all insurance proceeds) and products of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (collectively, with respect to Borrower, “Collateral”); provided, however, that “Collateral” shall not include (i) any license, contract, permit or other agreement to the extent that the grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such license, contract, permit or agreement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than Borrower) pursuant to the terms thereof (but not including any such restriction that is rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC (as defined below) or other applicable law), (ii) any assets for which the granting of a security interest therein is prohibited by applicable law (other than to the extent such prohibition is rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or other applicable law), (iii) any governmental licenses or permits to the extent a security interest therein is prohibited or restricted thereby, and (iv) any “intent-to-use” trademark applications prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent that the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law; provided, further, that upon the termination or lapse of any such restriction described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, such asset shall immediately and automatically become Collateral hereunder. Borrower represents and warrants that (A) Borrower has the right, power and authority to grant the security interest in the Collateral granted hereby, (B) no consent, approval or authorization of any third party is required for such grant, except for consents, approvals or authorizations that have been obtained, and (C) no existing contract or agreement to which Borrower is a party prohibits the grant of such security interest, except to the extent such assets are excluded from the definition of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing proviso. Any terms used in the definition of Collateral but not defined shall have the meanings given thereto in Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof (the “UCC”) to the extent defined therein.

 

4. Financing Statements. Lender is hereby authorized to file one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the UCC, as applicable, in form satisfactory to Lender (including listing the collateral as “all assets”) and Borrower shall pay the cost, related to Borrower, of filing the same in all jurisdictions in which such filing is reasonably deemed by Lender to be necessary or desirable along with any filing, documentary stamp, intangible or similar type of taxes.
