 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, METROPARK USA, INC., a Delaware corporation f/k/a SANTA

Substituted Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note (this “Note”), together with interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not

 (b)    In addition to the foregoing, Borrower hereby agrees that the unpaid principal amount of all Loans outstanding
hereunder shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. For purposes of this Note, “Applicable Rate” means, for any day, a rate of interest equal to six percent (6%) per annum. Borrower agrees to pay all
interest, compounded annually and computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months on the unpaid principal balance hereof, from the date a Loan is 








 
ymade to Borrower (“Drawdown Date”) until paid in full in like coin or currency, quarterly on
March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 in each year commencing on the Drawdown Date until a final payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
on and after the Maturity Date accrued interest on the Loans shall be payable on demand. Under no circumstances will the rate of interest chargeable hereunder be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law. If excess interest is charged and
paid in error, then the excess amount will be promptly refunded. 
 2.    Funding Mechanics. 
 (a)    Within fifteen (15) days after Lender’s receipt of a written notice of drawdown executed by Borrower
(“Drawdown Notice”) a form of which is attached as Exhibit A-1 hereto, Lender agrees to advance funds to Borrower from time to time in the form of loans (each such advance, a “Loan”) until the Maturity Date;
provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all Loans advanced hereunder at any time exceed $1,109,469.28 and provided further, that no Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing. Loans repaid
may not be reborrowed by Borrower. 
 3.    Prepayment; Interest on Defaulted Amount. 
 (a)    This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty; provided, however, that
the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall survive so long as all Lenders under the Note Purchase Agreement hold at least twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower’s Series A or Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock. This Note is not subject to mandatory prepayment. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding the
Lender’s rights under Section 5 below, should the Borrower default on all or any portion of its obligation to pay principal or accrued interest hereunder (the “Defaulted Amount”), interest shall accrue on the Defaulted Amount at
a rate per annum equal to two percent 2% in excess of the Applicable Rate from the date of such default until such obligation shall be discharged. 
 4.    Payments. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made by the Borrower in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Lender at its address as shown on the records of the
Borrower or at such other location as it may designate in writing to the Borrower, in each case without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. 
 5.    Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of; and during the continuation of, any of the following events of default (“Events of Default”), at the option of the Lender and upon a written notice to the
Borrower by such Lender (a “Notice of Default”), the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other amounts payable hereafter shall become immediately due and payable: 
 (a)    the failure to make any required payment of the principal balance of this Note when due and payable, or the
failure to make any required payment of any accrued interest thereon within ten (10) days after the delivery of written notice by the Lender to the Borrower of said failure to pay; 
  

 2 








 (b)    there shall occur a default in the due and punctual
performance or observance of any term, covenant, condition, agreement or provision, contained in this Note, the Note Purchase Agreement, any other related loan documents or the Series A Financing Documents, to be performed or observed by the
Borrower, other than as specified in this Section 5, which is not cured within thirty (30) days after the delivery of written notice to the Borrower of said default, or if not capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, the
Borrower commences efforts to cure said default within said thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, but not to exceed a total of sixty (60) days after such notice;

 (c)    the Borrower shall (i) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) apply

during the year after such notice has been issued, Orval Madden is no longer Chief Executive Officer of Borrower for any reason, including by reason of death, disability, resignation or termination of employment.
