FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned CACHET FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Cachet DE”), and CACHET FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Cachet MN”) (Cachet MN and Cachet DE are jointly and severally obligated, and collectively referred to herein as, the “Borrower”), promise to pay to the order of MICHAEL J.  HANSON, whose current address is 2300 Territorial Road, Saint Paul, MN 55114 (“Lender”) at his current address, or at such other place as the Lender may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of up to ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.

 

INTEREST:

 

(a)                 Interest.  The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year, actual days elapsed) at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10.0%).

 

(b)                 Payment of Interest.  Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the Maturity Date (as defined below).

 

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

 

(a)                 Borrowing and Repayment.  Borrower may at any time prior to the Maturity Date borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above.  The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the Lender less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the Lender.  The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (a) the demand of Lender after the IPO (as defined below) or (b) September 30, 2014 (as applicable, the “Maturity Date”).

 

(b)                 Application of Payments.  Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first to any interest then due and second to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

  

  

  

 

(c)                 Conditions to Advances.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance hereunder, unless and until (1)  Borrower has obtained from Trooien Capital, LLC and from Michaelson Capital Partners, LLC (f/k/a Imperium Special Finance Fund, LP) written consent to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, in form and substance acceptable to Lender and (2) there shall be no default or event of default hereunder or with respect to any other obligation of Borrower to Lender.

 

CONVERSION:

 

Upon the consummation of an initial public offering of the  common stock of Cachet DE (the “IPO”), the Lender shall have the option at any time prior to the Maturity Date (the “Conversion Period”), to convert all or any portion of the principal and interest then outstanding into common stock of Cachet DE at the Discount Price.  Any portion of the principal and interest that the Lender does not convert to common stock during the Conversion Period shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

 

“Discount Percentage” means

 

(a) 15% if (i) the IPO is consummated on or before July 31, 2014, and (ii) the gross proceeds of the IPO are greater than $11,000,000;

 

(b) 20% if (i) (A) the IPO is consummated on or before July 31, 2014, and (B) the gross proceeds of the IPO are less than $11,000,000 or (ii) (A) the IPO is consummated after July 31, 2014, and (B) the gross proceeds of the IPO are greater than $11,000,000; or

 

(c) 25% if (i) the IPO is consummated after July 31, 2014, and (ii) the gross proceeds of the IPO are less than $11,000,000.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS:

 

The Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, include in the IPO any shares of common stock to be issued to the Lender upon conversion as described above (the “Shares”).  In the event that the underwriter(s) of the IPO determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten in the public offering, or if applicable law or SEC rules or guidance would prohibit the inclusions of any Shares, then the Shares may be excluded from the public offering, provided that in such event the Lender shall have piggyback registration rights relating to the Shares that are no less favorable than any such piggyback registration rights that have been or shall have been granted to any third party.  Borrower agrees to (i) execute and deliver, and cause its directors and officers to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Lender, necessary or advisable to register the Shares as required under this paragraph, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the effective date, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto.  Lender agrees to comply with the provisions of the securities or “blue sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Lender shall designate.
