EXECUTION COPY
AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
U.S. $4,500,000.00 | April 16, 2015 |
This is an amendment and restatement of the $9,800,000.00 promissory note, with the principal amount of $9,800,000.00, issued on November 4, 2014 by Celsius Holdings, Inc. to CD Financial, LLC (the “Original Promissory Note”). Certain prepayments were made on the Original Promissory Note prior to the date hereof, such that the outstanding principal amount of the Original Promissory Note is $4,500,000.00 on the date hereof.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation authorized to do business in Florida as Celsius Products Holdings, Inc. (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of CD FINANCIAL, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, its successors or assigns (hereinafter “Lender”), at 0000 X.X. 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 or such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (US$4,500,000.00) or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans made under this Amended and Restated Promissory Note (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, this “Note”). The Borrower also promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of loans outstanding hereunder at a fixed rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum (the “Note Rate”). The principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note, together with any then accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be payable as provided herein and in any event on January 2, 2020, unless extended in the Lender’s sole discretion (the “Maturity Date”).
Interest shall be calculated on the principal balance, which from time to time is outstanding, on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.
Commencing on June 30, 2015, and continuing on each September 30, December 31 and March 31 thereafter, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of interest only at the Note Rate. On the Maturity Date, all outstanding and unpaid principal, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other charges or fees which are then due and owing from Borrower to Lender shall be immediately due and payable.
Prior to the occurrence of an event of default (“Event of Default”), all payments made hereunder shall be applied first to interest due and payable hereunder, then to principal, then to all amounts due hereunder other than interest and principal as more particularly described herein or in that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2010, as amended pursuant to that certain Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made hereunder may be applied to the sums due hereunder in a manner and order according to the sole discretion of Lender.
If any payment required to be paid pursuant to this Note is not paid in full within five (5) business days after its scheduled due date, Lender may assess a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount of the payment, or the maximum permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
Upon Borrower’s failure to make any payment when due hereunder, Lender may declare all outstanding obligations payable by the Borrower hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Additional defaults hereunder and the rights and remedies of the Lender upon the occurrence of such default are set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement.
The Borrower and any endorser or guarantor of this Note each hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment for payment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, any and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of this Note, and the company hereby waives the benefit of any statute of limitations with respect to any action to enforce, or otherwise relate to, this Note. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under this Note.
This Note shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), after the Maturity Date hereof or following an Event of Default hereunder until paid in full. If for any reason the Borrower is required to pay, or has paid, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then the interest rate shall be deemed to be reduced, automatically and immediately, to such maximum rate permitted, and interest payable hereunder shall be computed and paid at the maximum rate and the portion of all prior payment of interest in excess of the principal sum shall be applied as partial prepayments, notwithstanding any provision hereof prohibiting partial prepayments.
In the event Lender shall employ counsel to collect this obligation or administer, protect or foreclose the security given in connection herewith, the Borrower agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees for services of such counsel whether or not suit is brought plus costs, including all court costs incurred in connection herewith through appellate proceedings.
The Borrower may voluntarily at any time prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.
This Note is secured by the following security documents which shall be incorporated by reference herein:
(i) | The Loan Agreement; |
(ii) | UCC-1 Financing Statement filed with the Florida Secured Transaction Registry and with the State of Nevada; and |
2
(iii) | Any and all other loan documents executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan Agreement and this Note. |
If suit is instituted to enforce the terms of this Note, the Courts of the State of Florida and the Federal Courts located in the State of Florida shall have non-exclusive personal jurisdiction over the Borrower, and the venue of the suit, at the option of the Lender, may be laid in Palm Beach County, Florida. The Borrower agrees not to claim that Florida is an inconvenient place for trial.
This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida. All capitalized terms used in this Note not defined herein are defined in the Loan Agreement.
The Borrower agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any suit, action, or proceeding in any state or federal court sitting in the State of Florida may be by certified or registered mail return receipt requested, directed to Borrower at the following address: 000 XX 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000.
BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON THIS NOTE, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. BORROWER ALSO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMANGES. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LENDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS NOTE, BY, INTER ALIA, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
Any provision of this Note which may be prohibited by law or otherwise held invalid shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and shall not invalidate or otherwise render ineffective the remaining provisions of this Note. No waiver or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Note shall be valid or binding unless set forth in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Borrower and Lender, and then only to the extent therein specifically set forth.
THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCAVBLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON ANY ALLEGED LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE, FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR BASIS. THE BORROWER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE GIVEN OR ALLOWED UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA UNLESS SUCH DEFENSE IS ALSO GIVEN OR ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. NOTHING IN THIS NOTE SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR IN ANY MANNER OR TO THE EXTENT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST BORROWER IN ANY JURISDICTION OR TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MATTER PERMITTED BY LAW.
3
If this Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon surrender thereof (if mutilated) or receipt of evidence and indemnity (if lost, stolen or destroyed) the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new note of like tenor, which shall show all payments which have been made on account of the principal hereof.
This Note shall amend, restate and replace the Original Promissory Note in its entirety; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of this Note shall not in any circumstance be deemed to have terminated, extinguished or discharged any of the Borrower’s outstanding indebtedness under the Original Promissory Note, all of which indebtedness shall continue under and be governed by this Note. This Note is a replacement, amendment and restatement of the Original Promissory Note and IS NOT A NOVATION.
