PROMISSORY NOTE
$ Set forth on the Borrowing Annex Dated: As set forth on the Borrowing Annex (the “Effective Date”)
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, US Digital Mining and Hosting Co_, a _Florida_ (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to ChainFi Inc. (d/b/a Arch Lending) (“Noteholder”), the principal sum for each borrowing as set forth on the applicable Borrowing Annex to be attached hereto (the “Principal Amount”), in USDC stablecoin (“USDC”), together with interest thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Promissory Note (this “Note”).
(a)Maturity Date. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the entire outstanding Principal Amount for each borrowing and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is one (1) calendar day after the Maturity Date for such borrowing, as set forth on the applicable Borrowing Annex, or upon the earlier maturity hereof, whether by acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”), without the requirement for any demand for repayment by Noteholder. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.
(b)Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to voluntarily prepay the outstanding Principal Amount for an applicable borrowing, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayment shall be made together with payment of interest accrued on the portion of the Principal Amount for the borrowing being prepaid through the date of such prepayment. Any prepayments under this Note shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to reduce the outstanding Principal Amount for the applicable borrowing being repaid.
(a)Interest Rate. The unpaid Principal Amount for a borrowing shall bear interest from the Effective Date until the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to the applicable short-term Applicable Federal Rate published by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in effect on the Effective Date for such borrowing (the minimum federal rate required to avoid imputed interest). Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Note, interest shall be computed and payable based on the number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.
(b) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding Principal Amount and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 15% (the “Default Rate”), payable on demand. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the date of the applicable Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing by Noteholder, and shall in no event exceed the Maximum Rate.
(c)Interest Rate Limitation. Regardless of any provisions contained in this Note, Noteholder shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest on this Note, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event Noteholder ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal Amount for an applicable borrowing, and, if such Principal Amount is paid in full, then any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower. As used herein, “Maximum Rate” means the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received, or reserved by Noteholder in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of
