	Principal Amount: $112,925.00	Date of Note: April 24, 2020

 

PROMISE TO PAY. Black Ridge
Oil & Gas Inc ("Borrower") promises to pay to Kensington Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money
of the United States of Arnerica, the principal amount of One Hundred Twelve Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-five & 00/100
Dollars ($112,925.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from April 24, 2020, calculated as described in
the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 1.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days,
until paid in full. The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT"
section.

 

PAYMENT. Borrower
will pay this loan in one principal payment of $112,925.00 plus interest on April 24, 2022. This payment due on April 24,
2022, will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly
payments of all accrued unpaid, interest due as of each payment date, beginning November 24, 2020, with all subsequent
interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; and then to any unpaid collection costs.
Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD.
Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.
All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay
without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by
Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule.
Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid
in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If. Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may
accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount
owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument
that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other
conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered tot Kensington Bank,
Cokato, 101 3rd Street SE, PO Box 220, Cokato, MN 55321.

 

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon
default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by 5.000 percentage points.
However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.
