$12,500,000 June 20, 2024

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SOLUNA AL CLOUDCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay to [***], a Delaware limited liability company (including its successors and permitted assigns, the “Holder”), the principal amount of TWELVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($12,500,000.00 USD) (or, if less, so much thereof as shall not have been repaid or prepaid) on or before June 20, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), with interest on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

This Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2024 (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, SOLUNA CLOUD, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Cloud”), SOLUNA HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Holdings” and, along with Cloud, each a “Guarantor” and together the “Guarantors”), and Holder. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the other rights and obligations of the Holder of this Note and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder hereof by the acceptance of this Note agrees:

 

1. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at a rate of nine percent (9.0%) per annum; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at a such rate plus nine (9.0%) per annum (such additional rate of interest applicable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the “Incremental Default Rate”). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and shall compound monthly (other than with respect to interest that accrues at the Incremental Default Rate, which shall compound annually). Interest accruing at the Incremental Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

 

 
 

 

2. Payment.

 

(a) Scheduled Payments. The Company will pay to the Investor the amounts set forth on Exhibit A on or prior to the dates set forth on Exhibit A, which payments shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest as set forth on Exhibit A.

 

(b) Prepayment. The Company may prepay any outstanding balance due under this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty, premium or fee.

 

(c) Maturity Date. The entire remaining unpaid principal balance of this Note, all accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums due the Holder under this Note shall be due and payable in full, without demand, protest, or notice of protest, on the Maturity Date.

 

3. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, all unpaid principal, accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owing under this Note and the other Note Documents shall, at the option of, and only upon written notice provided to the Company exclusively by the Holder, be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, in the case of an Event of Default specified under subsection (d) of Section 4 of the Note Purchase Agreement, all unpaid principal, accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owing under this Note and the other Note Documents shall automatically be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Holder may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of amounts due under this Note and the other Note Documents, or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Note and the other Note Documents. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Holder in connection with the enforcement of this Note and the other Note Documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect in writing to waive any Event of Default and upon receipt of such waiver, any Event of Default (including any prior Event of Default which is continuing) shall be deemed to be waived by the Holder.

 

4. Collateral. This Note shall be secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the Company Security Agreement and all other security documents executed in connection this Note and the Note Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the Collateral Assignment, the Cloud Security Agreement, the Cloud Pledge Agreement, the Holdings Security Agreement and the Holdings Pledge Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
