FOR VALUE RECEIVED, [[Borrower B Name]], whose address is [[Borrower B Address]] (collectively, the ("Borrower") hereby promise to pay to the order of [[Lender A Name]] (the "Lender") at the address listed in Section 1(c) below, in Dai or other agreed-upon digital payment asset, the Loan Amount (as such terms are defined below), with accruals thereon calculated on the unpaid principal balance at the rate described in Section 1 below, said principal sum and accrual to be paid on the dates and in the manner set forth in Section 1, and further covenants and agrees as follows pursuant to this Promissory Note (the "Note"):
1. Payments of Principal and Accruals.
(a) Principal and Accruals.
Following the Lender’s distribution to the Borrower of $[[Lender A Deposit Amount]] Dai (the "Loan Amount") on [[Effective Date]](the "Loan Date"), any unpaid principal balance of the Loan Amount shall bear a rate of accrual at the rate of [[Lender A Rate of Accrual]]% per annum (the "Rate of Accrual)" from the date distributed. The Borrower shall make one Payment including the original loan amount and an additional amount equal to the amount of accrual as defined below on or before the [[Termination Date]] (the "Maturity Date"), at which time all outstanding principal and accruals with respect to the Loan Amount shall be due and payable.
(b) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, whether penalty or premium.
(c) Funding: The Lender agrees to the terms and agrees to deposit $[[Lender A Deposit Amount]] Dai at the following contract residing at Ethereum Mainnet address 0x2CAF5A42EC2D6747eC696714BF913b174d94FDF0 (the "LexGrow Contract"). The Date that the funds are deposited are considered the Loan Date for purposes of this agreement. The loan amount will be converted to CHAI and held in LexGrow Contract until which time the Borrower draws the Loan Amount into its account at [[Borrower B EthAddress]]. Funds will be considered to be available to Borrower and will begin to accrue an additional amount due (the "Accrual Amount".) The Accrual Amount is calculated as the loan duration in years multiplied by the Rate of Accrual multiplied by Loan Amount.
(d) Place of Payment. Payments under this Note shall be sent to Lender in Dai at the following Ethereum Address (the "Payment Address"):

The parties agree to authorize the LexGrow Contract to distribute such loan proceeds as and when directed by the Borrower. The Lender shall pay the set‑up fee relating to such contract.
2. Default Add‑On Rate. If any Event of Default (as such term is defined herein) occurs and while any such Event of Default is continuing, all past due principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accural, interest, fees, charges and any other amounts owing hereunder, shall bear additional accrual at a rate (which is in addition to, and not in lieu of the accrual rate provided hereunder) equal to Five Percent (5.00%) per annum, from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event of Default is waived or cured (if Lender allows such cure), or all obligations that Borrower owes to Lender hereunder are paid in full.
3. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events (each, an "Event of Default") shall constitute a default by the Borrower under this Note:
(a) Failure of the Borrower to pay when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, any payments under this Note;
(b) Any representation or warranty set forth in this Note shall prove in any material respect to have been false and misleading on the date made;
(c) The Borrower is declared insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of any other creditor or lender of the Borrower, calls a meeting of its creditors, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for all or any part of its properties; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, dissolution or liquidation is filed for or commenced against the Borrower.
4. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender may take such steps as are legally available to it for the collection of any unpaid obligation under this Note in full, together with all accrued amounts, interest and expenses, including without limitation the following:
(a) Declare the entire indebtedness and obligations outstanding hereunder immediately due and payable (provided, that in the case of an Event of Default under Section 3(d) above, all indebtedness and obligations outstanding hereunder shall automatically and immediately become due and payable without any action by or on behalf of the Lender);
(b) The Lender may exercise all other legal or equitable rights and remedies available under state or federal law, including without limitation, rights of recoupment and set‑off.
Prior to exercising any remedy under this Section 4 with respect to any Event of Default under Section 3(a), the Borrower shall have 45 days to effect a full and complete cure of such Event of Default by paying all amounts due and payable.
Prior to exercising any remedy under this Section 4 with respect to any Event of Default other than an Event of Default under Sections 3(a) or 3(c), the Lender shall first give written notice to the Borrower at the address set forth below via registered mail, which notice shall specify in writing each and every claimed Event of Default. The Borrower shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice to effect a cure of each and every claimed Event of Default. If any claimed Event of Default remains uncured after such thirty (30) day period, the Lender may then proceed to exercise any of the remedies to which it may be entitled, including those set forth in this Section 4. Any written notice to the Borrower shall be mailed to the address set forth on the signature page hereto.
The failure of the Lender to enforce its rights upon an Event of Default shall not constitute waiver of any such right in the event of a subsequent default.
5. Cost of Collection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if this Note is not paid when due, whether at the Maturity Date or by acceleration, and/or any other Event of Default shall occur, then the undersigned promise to pay all costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the collection of this Note and the protection of, or realization on, the collateral (whether or not suit is filed).
6. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest. The Borrower expressly agrees that this Note, or any payment thereunder, may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower.
7. Heirs and Assigns. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Note shall bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Borrower; provided, however, that neither this Note can be assigned without the express written consent of the Lender.
