FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AGRIFY CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ____________________ (the “Holder”), without demand, the sum of _______________________ Dollars ($_________), with interest accruing as stated below, on the Maturity Date (as defined below).

This convertible promissory note (this “Note”) has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a note and warrant purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of _________, 2020 by and among the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “Other Holders”) of convertible promissory notes (the “Other Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $13,500,000. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, each capitalized term used in this Note shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I

MATURITY DATE; INTEREST PAYMENTS; CONVERSION

1.1 Maturity Date.

(a) The initial maturity date of this Note shall be one year from the issuance date first set forth above, provided however, the Borrower may in its sole discretion extend the initial maturity date of this Note for an additional one year (the “Maturity Date Extension”) in the event that the Borrower has not repaid in full the principal amount and accrued interest evidenced by this Note by the initial maturity date (the initial maturity date, or such date as extended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Borrower determines to effectuate the Maturity Date Extension, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Holder and issue to the Holder additional Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.1 to the contrary, in the event of a Public Transaction (as defined below) during the term of this Note, the Maturity Date shall be the date of the consummation of the Public Transaction. For purposes of this Note, a “Public Transaction” shall mean: (i) the Borrower (a) becoming a reporting issuer in the United States through either the filing of a prospectus or registration statement or a merger, business combination or similar transaction with an existing reporting issuer, and (b) the common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”) or other reporting issuer resulting from such a transaction is listed for trading on NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSE American or similar nationally recognized stock exchange (a “National Exchange”), or (ii) upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock and the Common Stock is listed on a National Exchange.

1.2 Interest Payments. Solely in the event the Borrower determines to effectuate the Maturity Date Extension, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears accruing as of the issuance date of this Note, at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months and shall be payable on the Maturity Date, as extended.

1.3 Conversion of Principal and Interest upon Public Transaction. Immediately prior to the consummation of a Public Transaction, the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall convert, at the option of the Borrower or the Holder, into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder immediately prior to such Public Transaction divided by (ii) the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall mean a price equal to the quotient of (i) the lesser of (x) $70 million and (y) 70% of the aggregate valuation of the Borrower on the Conversion Date as determined in good faith by the Borrower’s board of directors divided by (ii) the number of total outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Transaction. For the purposes of this Section 1.3, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note and the Other Notes (each at an assumed conversion price per share of $7.43, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms thereof), all outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of the Borrower (at an assumed conversion price per share of $7.43, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms thereof), and the exercise and/or conversion of any other outstanding convertible securities and options shall be deemed to be outstanding.

1.4 Pari Passu. All payments made on this Note and the Other Notes and except as otherwise set forth herein all actions taken by the Borrower with respect to this Note and the Other Notes, shall be made and taken pari passu with respect to this Note and the Other Notes.

1.5 Miscellaneous. Principal on this Note and other payments in connection with this Note shall be payable at the Holder’s offices as designated above in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Upon assignment of the interest of Holder in this Note, Borrower shall instead make its payment pursuant to the assignee’s instructions upon receipt of written notice thereof.

1.6 Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Borrower shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Borrower shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

(b) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Borrower shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(c) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Borrower shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Borrower which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 1.5(c) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note and the Other Notes; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

3

(d) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 1.5(a), (b) or (c), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(e) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger or other similar reorganization event (collectively, the “Reorganization Adjustment Event”) involving the Borrower (other than in connection with a Public Transaction pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof or pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 1.6) in which shares of Common Stock (but not shares of the Borrower’s Series A Preferred Stock) are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than in connection with a Public Transaction pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof or pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 1.6), then, following any such Reorganization Adjustment Event, the principal amount of this Note shall thereafter be convertible (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note), in lieu of the shares of Common Stock, into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such Reorganization Adjustment Event would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 1.6(e) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of this Note, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 1.6(e) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments to the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note.

(f) Adjustment for Delay in Public Transaction/Minimum Revenue Target. Upon conversion of this Note subsequent to January 1, 2021, if (A) a Public Transaction did not occur by December 31, 2020, and (B) the Borrower’s revenue for fiscal year 2020 in accordance with GAAP based upon the Borrower’s financial statements was lower than $45 million, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

P2 = P1 x 85%

where,

P1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment; and

P2 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately upon such adjustment.
