Convertible Promissory Note

 

$5,000,000.00 March 3, 2026

 

For value received, 100 Tokeneke Road LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Borrower”) promises to pay to BPOZ 100 Tokeneke Holding, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Holder”) the principal sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”), together with simple interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of three and 60/100 percent (3.60%) per annum (this “Note”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date hereof and shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal until paid in full or converted in accordance with this Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 / 366 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in the event that Holder receives all or any part of the Deposit as such term is defined in the Contract (as hereinafter defined), any such payment shall decrease the amount owed under this Note as if such payment was made directly by the Borrower to Holder.

 

This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Maturity Date. Unless earlier converted or paid in full, all outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable March 3, 2028 (such date, the “Maturity Date”).

 

2. Event of Default. The entire outstanding principal balance of this Note and all interest accrued but unpaid thereon shall become due and payable upon an Event of Default. An “Event of Default” shall occur (a) if the Borrower fails to pay any and all unpaid principal, accrued interest and all other amounts owing under this Note when due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Note or otherwise breaches any provision of this Note, or (b) if the Borrower breaches in any material respect any term, covenant or agreement under this Note, and such breach (if able to be cured) is not cured before the earlier of fifteen (15) calendar days following such breach, or (c) if the Company fails to consummate the Closing under and in accordance with the Contract on or before April 10, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), or (d) upon the dissolution of the Company or the making by the Company or the Borrower of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the insolvency, appointment of a receiver, or commencement of any proceedings by or against the Company or the Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

 

3. Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on this Note and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or an Event of Default, upon the occurrence of which all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full.

 

4. Conversion.

 

(a) [Intentionally omitted.]

 

(b) Optional Conversion.

 

(i) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, Holder may, in its sole discretion by delivering written notice to Borrower, convert all or any portion of the remaining unpaid Principal Amount (and excluding (A) the Mandatory Conversion Amount, to the extent it has previously converted pursuant to Section 4(a) above and (B) any Optional Conversion Amount, to the extent it has converted pursuant to this Section 4(b)) and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (each, an “Optional Conversion Amount”) into that number of Class A Units in the 100 Tokeneke Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the sole member of the Company (the “Partnership”) (each, an “Optional Conversion”) determined by dividing such Optional Conversion Amount by $14.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any Unit (as defined in the Operating Agreement) dividend, Unit split, Unit combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Units) (with respect to each such Optional Conversion, the “Optional Conversion Units”). Holder further agrees to and hereby does waive inclusion of all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note in each Optional Conversion Amount if such Optional Conversion occurs on or prior to the Maturity Date.
