FOR VALUE RECEIVED, receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, 1847 Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), with offices at 590 Madison Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10022, hereby promises to pay to 1847 Partners LLC (the “Holder”), the principal sum of up to One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Base Amount”), plus the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made to the Company by the Holder (“Advances”) outstanding on the Maturity Date (as defined below) when all amounts due hereunder shall be due and payable together with interest thereon as hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Initial borrowing under this Grid Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall be Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) paid by Holder on January 3, 2018. “Maturity Date” means twelve (12) months of the date hereof.

 

In no event shall the amount payable by the Company as interest or other charges on this Note exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any law applicable hereto. 

 

If any payment under this Note shall be specified to be made on a day which is not a business day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day. For purposes of this Note, a “business day” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day in which banks are authorized to close in the State of Delaware. 

 

The Company hereby authorizes the Holder to endorse on the Schedule annexed to this Note all Advances hereafter made to the Company and all payments of the principal amounts in respect of such Advances or in respect of the Base Amount, which endorsements shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal amount of all Advances and as to the outstanding principal amount of the Base Amount; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to any Advances or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company under this Note. The Holder shall promptly deliver a copy of the Schedule to the Company each time that the Schedule is modified.

 

1. Payment of Base Amount and Advances under the Note. The outstanding portion of the Base Amount plus the outstanding portion of all Advances shall be payable in one lump sum due on the Maturity Date. Payments of principal are to be made to the Holder at its office address designated above or at such other place as the Holder shall have notified the Company in writing.

 

2. Payment of Interest on this Note. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion of the Base Amount and the unpaid portion of all Advances outstanding from time to time at a fixed rate of interest equal to eight percent (8%) per annum and shall be payable in one lump sum due on the Maturity Date. Payments of interest hereunder are to be made to the Holder at its office address designated above or at such other place as the Holder shall have notified the Company in writing. If all or a portion of (i) the Base Amount or any Advance under this Note or (ii) any interest payable hereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

5. Rights and Remedies. In the event that one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder may at its option by written notice to the Company declare the Base Amount and all Advances hereunder and the accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon the same shall become so due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived by the Company. No course of dealing or delay on the part of the Holder of this Note in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the right of the Holder.

7. Costs and Expenses. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Company shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Holder (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) in preserving, protecting, maintaining or enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection.
