on the amount prepaid.


 


The parties have agreed to
the following terms and conditions of this Note:


 


Article
I. PAYMENT AND INTEREST; COVENANTS; CONVERSION


 


1.1 
Payment of Principal Amount and Interest.



 


The parties agree that repayment
of the Principal Amount and Interest shall be deferred (i) for the first twenty-four (24) months subsequent to the Effective Date hereof
(the "Second Year Anniversary").


 


(a) Balance Threshold attained
as of Second Anniversary. As of the Second Year Anniversary, if the amount due and payable to CPBF is equal to or less than USD $15,000,000
(USD $15,000,000 being the “Balance Threshold”) then the Borrower shall repay to the Holder the Principal Amount plus
any accrued interest in three (3) equal installments payable annually starting on the first day of the Second Year Anniversary and on
each annual anniversary thereafter until the Principal and interest accrued is paid in full.


 


(b) Balance Threshold attained
subsequent to Second Anniversary. If the Balance Threshold is attained at a date subsequent to the Second Year Anniversary, then Borrower
shall repay to Holder the Principal Amount plus any accrued interest in three (3) equal installment payments, with each installment payment
date being determined by dividing the number of days then remaining to the Maturity Date by three (3) and the resultant dates each becoming
a payment date and with the first installment payment due no greater than 30 days from the date that said Balance Threshold was attained
and thereafter on each of the 2nd and 3rd resultant payment dates, with the 3rd and final installment
payment due on the Maturity Date. Any and all payment of the Principal Amount and Interest shall be payable on or before the Maturity
Date.


 


(c) Interest. Interest
shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the Interest Rate and such accrual shall commence on the Effective Date. However, no Interest
payment shall be due from Borrower or payable to Holder hereunder until the Second Year Anniversary date should the Note remain unpaid
at such time. Should the Note remain unpaid at the Second Year Anniversary date, the total accrued Interest due at that time shall be
paid by Borrower at the Second Year Anniversary for said accrued Interest for the period from Effective Date through the Second Year Anniversary
date. Thereafter, and on each annual anniversary date thereafter the Second Anniversary date, the Interest due for the prior annual period
shall be paid as accrued for said period at the Interest Rate on the Note balance due at that time. All amounts due and payable shall
be paid pro rata should payment be made hereunder at any time that is not an anniversary date. No payments of Interest shall be due from
Borrower or paid to Holder at any time the amount due and payable to CPBF exceeds the Balance Threshold.


 


1.2  Covenants.


 


(a) Option of Holder at
an Event of Default. For so long as the amount due under the Credit Agreement from Borrower (or its affiliates) to CPBF at any time
applicable herein is equal to or less than the Balance Threshold and at such time if payment is due to Holder pursuant to Section 1.1(a)
above, and an Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred, then the parties agree as a material condition hereof and inducement
to enter this Note that, at the election of the Holder, either (i) without derogating from the Holder's rights pursuant to Section 2.6
below, the Operator Agreement shall be amended solely in connection with the Section 2.1 of Schedule 1 of said Operator Agreement (and/or
such other applicable sections) such that the “Aspire Fee” shall increase by 5% (e.g. for illustration purpose only, if the
Aspire Fee is 25%, then it shall increase to 30%) during the continuation of the Event of Default and until the amount at default is fully
repaid, or (ii) as a sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, the Holder shall be entitled to convert the Principal Amount plus any accrued
interest into Conversion Shares (as defined below) of EBET, in accordance with the provisions set out in Section 1.3 below.


 


 


 






    	 	2	 



     


    

 


(b) Option of Holder if
Balance Threshold is not Attained as of Second Year Anniversary. If as of the Second Year Anniversary date (as defined herein) the
amount due under the Credit Agreement from Borrower (or its affiliates) to CPBF is greater than the Balance Threshold, then the parties
agree at the option of the Holder, that the Holder shall be entitled to elect to either (i) as a sole and exclusive remedy hereunder (the
election of which shall forever terminate any and all rights of Holder to collect cash payment(s) under Section 1.1 hereinabove), convert
the Principal Amount plus any accrued interest into common stock shares of EBET, in accordance with the provisions set out in Section
1.3 below, or (ii) apply an increase of 5% in payment in kind (“PIK”) interest rate (in addition to the Interest) during the
continuation of such time at the Balance Threshold is not attained and until the Balance Threshold is attained, which the Holder shall
be entitled to convert into common stock shares of the Borrower in accordance with the conversion formula provisions of Section 1.3 below.


 


(c) Option of Holder to
Extend if Balance Threshold is not Attained as of the Second Year Anniversary. If as of the Second Year Anniversary date or any annual
period in which payment is due to Holder thereafter the amount due under the Credit Agreement from Borrower (or its affiliates) to CPBF
is greater than the Balance Threshold, then the Holder may elect to extend the Maturity Date on written notice to Borrower for an additional
one year from each annual anniversary date in which payment is due hereunder (“Maturity Date Extension”). For the avoidance
of doubt, an extension of the Maturity Date by one year shall also extend the commencement of each remaining installment due by one year.
Should the Holder make such Maturity Date Extension, then for each such election of a Maturity Date Extension the Holder at its sole election
may elect to extend the term of the Operator Agreement for one (1) additional year.


 


1.3       Conversion
of Payment and Interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and as a sole and exclusive remedy hereunder (the election
of which shall forever terminate any and all rights of Holder to collect cash payment(s) under Section 1.1 hereinabove), the Holder may
elect upon written notice to Borrower to convert the entire outstanding Principal Amount plus any accrued interest (and if applicable,
PIK interest) into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of EBET (the "Conversion Shares") at a price
per share based on the volume weighted-average per-share price of EBET for the ten (10) days prior to the date of the occurrence of the
Event of Default (“Conversion Price”). In no event shall the Conversion Price be lower than $18.00 per share (as adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations or similar events occurring after the date hereof) and the total maximum number of common
stock shares that may be issued to Holder upon any such conversion hereunder Section 1.3 in the aggregate shall be 650,000 shares (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations or similar events occurring after the date hereof).


 


1.4 Notices to Holder.
Borrower shall promptly notify the Holder (i) when the amount due and payable to CPBF falls below the Balance Threshold, (ii) amounts
due and payable to CPBF have been fully paid and the date of such payment, and (iii) when the Borrower receives a notice of default from
CPBF at which time Borrower shall promptly provide Holder a copy of such notice of default. Additionally, upon the Holder’s request
from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly provide the Holder with the current balance owned to CPBF (including interest and other
fees). Borrower shall promptly notify and keep the Holder up to date in respect of any collection actions or enforcement actions against
it or any of its subsidiaries including the filings of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings taken in respect of amounts due and payable
to CPBF.
