FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, Flux Power, Inc., a California corporation
(“Borrower”), hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to Cleveland Capital, L.P.
(“Holder”), the principal
amount of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) or such lesser
principal amount (“Principal Amount”) as
Holder may have advanced to Borrower pursuant to that certain
Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement, dated March 28,
2019, by and between Borrower and Holder (the “Credit Facility
Agreement”), together with interest thereon in
accordance with the terms hereof, from the date hereof until the
date on which this Note is paid in full.


 


This
Note is made and delivered by Borrower to Holder pursuant to the
terms of the Credit Facility Agreement. Under the Credit Facility
Agreement, Holder, at its sole discretion and along with other
Lenders (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement), agreed to
advance funds up to a maximum of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000)
to Borrower, from time to time, to be used by Borrower to purchase
inventory and related operational support expenses. All capitalized
terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Credit Facility Agreement.


 


THE
OBLIGATIONS DUE UNDER THIS NOTE ARE SECURED BY AN AMENDED AND
RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT (THE “SECURITY AGREEMENT”)
DATED AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND EXECUTED BY THE BORROWER FOR THE
BENEFIT OF HOLDER AND THE OTHER LENDERS. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF THE
HOLDER AND THE OTHER LENDERS ARE SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY
AGREEMENT.


 

1. Advances.
So long as there is no Event of Default (as defined below in
Section 4), Holder shall at its sole discretion provide Advances
hereunder so long as the total of all unpaid Advances at the time
of such request does not exceed Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000)
(the “Maximum
Amount”). If, at any time
or for any reason, the amount of Advances pursuant to the Notes
owed by Borrower to Lenders exceeds the Maximum Amount, Borrower
shall immediately pay to Lenders, based on such Lender’s Pro
Rata Percentage, in cash, the amount of such excess. For the
purpose of this Note, “Pro Rata Percentage” shall mean
such Lender’s interest in the LOC equal to the amount of all
Advances made by such Lender divided by the aggregate amount of all
Advances made by Lenders.

 

2. Terms of the Secured Promissory
Note.


 

(a) Interest Rate. Interest on the
then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall accrue at a
rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%), beginning on the

All interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual daily
balances of Principal Amount outstanding for the exact number of
days elapsed, using a year of three hundred sixty (360)
days.


 

(b) Maturity Date. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the entire Principal Amount of this
Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest payable

Note (the “Maturity
Date”) or (ii) when such amounts are declared due and
payable by Holder upon or after the occurrence of an Event of
