 9 

	 	(a)	It is a corporation for profit duly incorporated, organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State, and has all requisite power to conduct
its business as now conducted and to own, hold and lease its assets and properties and is duly qualified to do business in all other jurisdictions in which it owns property or conducts its business, except where the failure to so qualify would not

during the term of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	It has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents, and to enter into and carry out the transactions contemplated thereby. Such
execution, delivery and performance do not, and will not, violate any provision of law applicable to the Company or the Governing Instruments of the Company and do not, and will not, conflict with or result in a default under any agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is or may be bound. The Loan Documents have, by proper action, been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company. 

  

	 	(c)	The provision of financial assistance pursuant to the Loan Approval Documents and this Agreement induced the Company to provide the Project, thereby creating new jobs
or preserving existing jobs and employment opportunities and improving the economic welfare of the people of the State. 

  

	 	(d)	The Provision of the Project will be completed and the Project and the Company’s business will be operated and maintained in such manner as to conform with all
applicable Environmental Laws and zoning, planning, building and other applicable governmental regulations imposed by any Governmental Authority and as to be consistent with the purposes of the Act. 

 

	 	(e)	It presently intends that the Project will be used and operated in a manner consistent with the Project Purposes until the date on which the Loan has been fully repaid,
and the Company knows of no reason why the Project will not be so operated. 

  

	 	(f)	There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or the Project which, if adversely determined, would individually or
in the aggregate materially impair the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or the DCB Loan Documents or adversely affect the financial condition of the Company. 

 

	 	(g)	It is not in default under any of the Loan Documents or the DCB Loan Documents, or in the payment of any indebtedness for borrowed money or under any agreement or
instrument evidencing any such indebtedness, and no event has occurred which by notice, the passage of time or otherwise would constitute any such event of default. 

  
 10 

	 	(h)	The Project Site is zoned by the City under a zoning ordinance which permits the Provision of the Project thereon in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and
the operation of the Company’s business; and all utilities, including water, storm and sanitary sewer, gas, electric and telephone, and rights of access to public ways shall be available or will be provided to the Project Site in sufficient
locations and capacities to meet the requirements of operating the Project and the Company’s business and of any applicable Governmental Authority. 

  

	 	(i)	It has made no contract or arrangement of any kind, other than the Loan Documents and the DCB Loan Documents, which has given rise to, or the performance of which by
the other party thereto would give rise to, a lien or claim of lien on the Project, the Project Site or other collateral covered by the Loan Documents or the DCB Loan Documents and no materials or labor have heretofore been supplied to or performed
in connection with the Project, except as permitted under the Commitment. 

  

	 	(j)	No representation or warranty of the Company contained in any of the Loan Approval Documents, Loan Documents or DCB Loan Documents, and no statement contained in any
certificate, schedule, list, financial statement or other instrument furnished to the Director by or on behalf of the Company (including, without limitation, the Application), contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

 Form of Note 

  

 COGNOVIT PROMISSORY NOTE 

 

			
	$ 750,000	  	June 3, 2011

 For value received, Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the
“Company”), promises to pay to the order of the Director of Development of the State of Ohio (the “Director”), at Strategic Business Investment Division, 77 South High Street, 28th Floor, P.O. Box 1001, Columbus, Ohio 43216-1001, or at such other
address as may be designated in writing by the Director, the principal sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), or such amount thereof as shall be disbursed to the Company, with interest on the amount of principal from time to
time outstanding from the first Escrow Funding Date as specified under and defined in the Loan Agreement between the Director and the Company dated as of June 3, 2011 (the “Loan Agreement”), at the rate of one percent (1%) per
annum during the twelve months next succeeding the first Escrow Funding Date, and thereafter at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum until paid, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Loan Agreement or herein. Interest on this Note shall
be paid in monthly installments, which shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing with the first day of July, 2011 (the “First Interest Payment Date”) and such amount shall include interest accrued thereon
from the first Escrow Funding Date to the First Interest Payment Date. The principal of this Note shall be paid in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments in the amounts set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, each plus interest thereon,
which shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing on the first day of July 1, 2013 (the “First Installment Date”) and ending on June 1, 2018 (the “Last Installment Date”) and the amount
of the installment payable on the Last Installment Date shall be equal to the balance of the principal sum outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and yet unpaid. In addition, the Company promises to pay to the order of the Director a
monthly service fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of one percent (1.0%) of the principal balance outstanding from time to time under this Note (the “Service Fee”), and such Service Fee shall be due and payable on the first day of
each calendar month commencing on the first day of the second month after the first Escrow Funding Date and continuing each following month until and including the Last Installment Date. 

In addition to all other payments required hereunder, upon maturity of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) whether at scheduled
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall pay to the Director a loan participation fee equal to 10% of the dollar amount of the Loan actually funded; provided, however, if the Loan is prepaid in full prior to Last Installment Date,
the loan participation fee shall be paid to the Director at the time of such prepayment. 
 This Note does not of itself
constitute a commitment by the Director to make any disbursement of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to the Company. The conditions for making such a disbursement are set forth in the Loan Agreement. The disbursements made by the Director
to the Company shall not exceed the face amount of this Note and the total amount of such disbursement is limited by and subject to the conditions for making disbursement of the Loan as set forth in the Loan Agreement. 

  

 The annual rate of interest stated herein shall apply to a 360-day period, and amounts of
interest due hereunder shall be computed upon the basis of 30-day months. Installments of principal, interest and monthly service fee shall be applied first to monthly service fee, then interest as provided herein and the balance to principal due
hereunder. 
 The Company may prepay all or any portion of the principal sum hereof at any time without penalty. All such
prepayments shall be applied to the payment of the principal installments due hereon in the inverse order of their maturity, and shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest and monthly service fee on the amount of the prepayment to the
date thereof. 
 The payment of this Note and all interest and monthly service fees hereon is secured by a Security Agreement,
Intercreditor Agreement, and UCC Financing Statements (collectively, the “Security Documents”). The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Security Documents and the Loan Agreement are hereby made a part of this Note.

 The Company, each endorser and any other party liable on this Note severally waives demand, presentment, notice of dishonor
and protest. 
 If default be made in the payment of any installment of principal, interest and/or monthly service fee under
this Note when any such payment shall have become due and payable, or if an “Event of Default,” as defined in the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents, shall have occurred and be subsisting, then, at the option of the Director, the
entire principal sum payable hereunder and all interest and monthly service fees accrued thereon shall become due and payable at once, without demand or notice. 
 To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, the rate of interest under this Note and on any
obligation of the Company under the Loan Documents shall be increased to ten percent (10%) per annum. 
 THE COMPANY AND
THE DIRECTOR, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE, THE
LOAN AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM. THIS WAIVER SHALL
NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE DIRECTOR’S ABILITY TO PURSUE REMEDIES PURSUANT TO ANY CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT OR COGNOVIT PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN, IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT. NEITHER THE
COMPANY NOR THE DIRECTOR SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE

DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY THE COMPANY OR THE DIRECTOR EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY BOTH OF THEM.

 COGNOVIT PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	$ 750,000	  	June 3, 2011

 For value received, Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the
“Company”), promises to pay to the order of the Director of Development of the State of Ohio (the “Director”), at Strategic Business Investment Division, 77 South High Street, 28th Floor, P.O. Box 1001, Columbus, Ohio 43216-1001, or at such other
address as may be designated in writing by the Director, the principal sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), or such amount thereof as shall be disbursed to the Company, with interest on the amount of principal from time to
time outstanding from the first Escrow Funding Date as specified under and defined in the Loan Agreement between the Director and the Company dated as of June 3, 2011 (the “Loan Agreement”), at the rate of one percent (1%) per
annum during the twelve months next succeeding the first Escrow Funding Date, and thereafter at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum until paid, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Loan Agreement or herein. Interest on this Note shall
be paid in monthly installments, which shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing with the first day of July, 2011 (the “First Interest Payment Date”) and such amount shall include interest accrued thereon
from the first Escrow Funding Date to the First Interest Payment Date. The principal of this Note shall be paid in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments in the amounts set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, each plus interest thereon,
which shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing on the first day of July 1, 2013 (the “First Installment Date”) and ending on June 1, 2018 (the “Last Installment Date”) and the amount
of the installment payable on the Last Installment Date shall be equal to the balance of the principal sum outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and yet unpaid. In addition, the Company promises to pay to the order of the Director a
monthly service fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of one percent (1.0%) of the principal balance outstanding from time to time under this Note (the “Service Fee”), and such Service Fee shall be due and payable on the first day of
each calendar month commencing on the first day of the second month after the first Escrow Funding Date and continuing each following month until and including the Last Installment Date. 

In addition to all other payments required hereunder, upon maturity of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) whether at scheduled
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall pay to the Director a loan participation fee equal to 10% of the dollar amount of the Loan actually funded; provided, however, if the Loan is prepaid in full prior to Last Installment Date,
the loan participation fee shall be paid to the Director at the time of such prepayment. 
 This Note does not of itself
constitute a commitment by the Director to make any disbursement of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to the Company. The conditions for making such a disbursement are set forth in the Loan Agreement. The disbursements made by the Director
to the Company shall not exceed the face amount of this Note and the total amount of such disbursement is limited by and subject to the conditions for making disbursement of the Loan as set forth in the Loan Agreement. 

 The annual rate of interest stated herein shall apply to a 360-day period, and amounts of
interest due hereunder shall be computed upon the basis of 30-day months. Installments of principal, interest and monthly service fee shall be applied first to monthly service fee, then interest as provided herein and the balance to principal due
hereunder. 
 The Company may prepay all or any portion of the principal sum hereof at any time without penalty. All such
prepayments shall be applied to the payment of the principal installments due hereon in the inverse order of their maturity, and shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest and monthly service fee on the amount of the prepayment to the
date thereof. 
 The payment of this Note and all interest and monthly service fees hereon is secured by a Security Agreement,
Intercreditor Agreement, and UCC Financing Statements (collectively, the “Security Documents”). The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Security Documents and the Loan Agreement are hereby made a part of this Note.

 The Company, each endorser and any other party liable on this Note severally waives demand, presentment, notice of dishonor
and protest. 
 If default be made in the payment of any installment of principal, interest and/or monthly service fee under
this Note when any such payment shall have become due and payable, or if an “Event of Default,” as defined in the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents, shall have occurred and be subsisting, then, at the option of the Director, the
entire principal sum payable hereunder and all interest and monthly service fees accrued thereon shall become due and payable at once, without demand or notice. 
 To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, the rate of interest under this Note and on any
obligation of the Company under the Loan Documents shall be increased to ten percent (10%) per annum. 
 THE COMPANY AND
THE DIRECTOR, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE, THE
LOAN AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM. THIS WAIVER SHALL
NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE DIRECTOR’S ABILITY TO PURSUE REMEDIES PURSUANT TO ANY CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT OR COGNOVIT PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN, IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT. NEITHER THE
COMPANY NOR THE DIRECTOR SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER

ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY THE COMPANY OR THE DIRECTOR EXCEPT BY A
WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY BOTH OF THEM. 
 The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes any attorney-at-law, including any
attorney-at-law employed or retained by the Director, to appear for it in any action on this Note at any time after the same becomes due as herein provided, in any court of record situated in Franklin County, Ohio (which the Company acknowledges to
be the place where this Note was signed), or in the county where the Company then resides or can be found, to waive the issuing and service of process, and confess a judgment in favor of the Director or other holder of this Note against the Company
for the amount that may then be due, with interest at the rate provided for herein, together with the costs of suit, and to waive and release all errors in said proceedings and the right to appeal from the judgment rendered. The Company consents to
the jurisdiction and venue of such court. The Company waives any conflict of interest that any attorney-at-law employed or retained by the Director may have in confessing judgment hereunder and consents to the payment of a legal fee to any
attorney-at-law confessing judgment hereunder. 
 This Note was executed in Columbus, Ohio, and shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of Ohio.
