In return for the assumption by the Company of the Loan in the principal amount identified on the signature page hereof under the applicable Lender’s name, the Company shall issue to the Lender a Promissory Note, as identified on Exhibit B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Promissory Notes, if there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Promissory Note, this Agreement shall control.

 

2.2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Lender the following:

 

2.2.1. Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

2.2.2. Authorization. All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the actions required by it.  The Company has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this Agreement, the valid and enforceable obligations they purport to be, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights. The borrowing of the money evidenced by the Promissory Note and the grant of the security interest herein and the other actions herein do not violate any agreements that the Company has with any third party or any orders or public filings by which the Company is bound.

 

2.2.3. Loan. The Company hereby represents that its board of directors, in the exercise of its fiduciary duty, has approved the execution of this Agreement based upon a reasonable belief that the loans provided for herein are appropriate for the Company after reasonable inquiry concerning its financial objectives and financial situation.  

 

2.2.4. Liabilities. The Company hereby represents that there are no outstanding judgments, liens, tax liabilities or other encumbrances against the Company as of the date of this Agreement.

 

2.3. Representations and Warranties of the Lender.  In connection with the transactions provided for herein, the Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

2.3.1. Authorization. This Agreement constitutes the Lender’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.  The Lender represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

 

2.3.2. Entirely for Own Account. The Lender acknowledges that the Company has relied upon, in entering into this Agreement, the Lender’s representation to the Company that the Promissory Note and any securities issuable in connection therewith (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment solely for the Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same.  By executing this Agreement, the Lender further represents that the Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Securities.

 

2.3.3. Disclosure of Information. The Lender acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities.  The Lender further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information given the Lender. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Lender has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) other than as stated in this Agreement.

 

2.3.4. Investment Experience. The Lender acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. The Lender also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

2.3.5. Accredited Investor. The Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as presently in effect.

 

 

2.4. Restricted Securities. The Lender understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold without registration under the Act except in certain limited circumstances. The Lender represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

 

2.5. Legends. It is understood that the Securities may bear the following legends:

 

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.”

 

“THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH, THAT CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.”

 

Any legend required by the blue sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate or other document with any such legend.

AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 

$_____________

Date: November 30, 2015

 

 

For Value Received, eVance Processing Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower” or the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of____________, a __________ (the “Lender”), whose address is ____________________, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of $_________ (the “Loan”), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, payable on the dates and in the manner set forth below.

 

This Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) is executed and delivered in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Borrower and the Lender, dated November 30, 2015, but effective 11:59 p.m., New York time, on November 30, 2015, incorporated herein by reference (the “Loan Agreement”), and is entitled to the benefits of and is subject to the terms contained in the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms not herein defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. This Note evidences the assumption by the Borrower of the obligation to pay a promissory note of $_________ dated November 30, 2015, made by Calpian, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Calpian”), to Lender (the “Original Note”). The Original Note has been replaced concurrently herewith by this Note and with an unconditional payment guaranty from Calpian in favor of Lender, and, as such, the Original Note is deemed to be of no further force or effect. It is one of a series of seven (7) secured promissory notes that are the subject of, described in, and secured by, the Loan Agreement.

 

1. Principal Repayment. The outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall be payable on November 30, 2016 (“Maturity Date”), subject to the terms and limitations hereunder. The Borrower may from time to time and at any time prepay, without premium or penalty, this Note in whole or in part, including any unpaid interest accrued on the amount to be prepaid, at any time prior to the Maturity Date without the written consent of the Lender, at the Borrower’s sole discretion (a “Prepayment”).

 

2. Interest Rate. The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan outstanding, from the date of this Note until all such principal amounts shall have been repaid in full. Interest shall be payable monthly at the Applicable Rate, as defined below, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year (“Interest”). During the first month and continuing through the seventh month from the date hereof, Interest shall accrue at a rate of 12% per annum; during the eighth month from the date hereof, Interest shall accrue at a rate of 13% per annum; during the ninth month from the date hereof, Interest shall accrue at rate of 14% per annum; during the tenth month from the date hereof, Interest shall accrue at a rate of 15% per annum; during the eleventh month from the date hereof, Interest shall accrue at a rate of 16% per annum; and during the twelfth month, Interest shall accrue at a rate of 17% per annum (each month’s Interest rate, an “Applicable Rate”). Interest shall be due and payable in monthly installments on or before the 5^th calendar day of December 2015 and on the 5^th day of each ensuing month, with any remaining amounts payable on the Maturity Date.

 

 

 

3. Place of Payment. All amounts of Interest and principal payable hereunder shall be payable to the Lender by check delivered to the address specified above or to such bank with wire transfer directions as provided by the Lender.

 

4. Application of Payments. Any payments on this Note shall be applied first to accrued Interest, and thereafter to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

5. Secured Obligation. Subject to and pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Borrower has granted to the Lender a first priority lien and security interest in, to and under certain assets of the Borrower. The Borrower and the Lender agree that the security interest granted in connection with this Note shall be governed by the Loan Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Note and the Loan Agreement, the parties agree that the Loan Agreement shall control.

 

6. Events of Default and Remedies. Events of Default and Remedies shall be governed by and pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Borrower and the Lender agree that the Events of Default and Remedies in connection with this Note shall be governed by the Loan Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Note and the Loan Agreement, the parties agree that the Loan Agreement shall control.

 

7. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. The Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. The Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against the Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments of principal or Interest called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

8. Indemnity and Expenses. The Borrower agrees:

 

(a)                To indemnify and hold harmless the holder of this Note and each of its partners, employees, agents and affiliates (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments suits, actions, threats and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Note; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties to the extent such Damages arise out of or result from (i) any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) any breach of this Note or the Loan Agreement by the Lender or the holder of this Note.

 

 

(b)               To pay and reimburse the holder of this Note upon demand for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the holder of this Note may incur in connection with (i) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies (including, but not limited to, collection) granted hereunder or otherwise available to it (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (ii) the failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Note, the repayment of any or all of the principal or Interest owed pursuant hereto, and the termination of this Note.

 

9. Due Authorization. The Borrower has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated on its part hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery (or filing or adoption, as the case may be), and performance by the Borrower of this Note have been duly authorized by the Borrower. This Note is a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles in any action (legal or equitable) and by public policy.

 

10. Modification. This Note is being issued as one of a series of seven (7) promissory notes issued by the Borrower, as described in the Loan Agreement. The terms of this Note (including, without limitation, the Maturity Date, and the rate of Interest) may be waived or modified only in writing, signed by the Borrower and the Lender.

 

11. Assignments. Subject to the provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of the Lender.

 

12. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. Any action brought to enforce or interpret this Note shall be brought in the courts located in Dallas County, Texas.

 

13. No Usury. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of the Borrower and the Lender at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits the Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of Interest than under state law) and that this Section 13 shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the Loan Agreement. If applicable state or federal law should at any time be judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under the Loan Agreement, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Loan, or if the Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any Prepayment by the Borrower results in the Borrower having paid any Interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by the Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and all other indebtedness and the provisions of this Note and the Loan Agreement shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of Interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

14. Transfers, Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on any successor to the Borrower and shall extend to any holder hereof.
