Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
From June 27, 2025 through July 1, 2025, Accelsius Holdings LLC (“Accelsius”), a controlled subsidiary of Innventure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued convertible unsecured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 with an option to issue additional convertible unsecured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, subject to certain conditions.
Accelsius issued convertible unsecured promissory notes (collectively, the “Term Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000 to certain investors, including WE-Inn LLC and Ascent Accelsius, A Series of Ascent X Innventure, LP, each of which is considered to be a Related Party (as defined in the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy) (collectively, the “Investors”). The Term Convertible Notes will be convertible, at the discretion of the Investors, into Series A Units of Accelsius on or after January 2, 2026 and at a price per unit equal to $12.175, bear interest at the applicable federal rate and mature on December 31, 2026. Accelsius will apply the proceeds from the issuance of the Term Convertible Notes to repay (the “Repayment”) borrowings under that certain Loan and Security Agreement between Innventure LLC and Accelsius, dated as of March 30, 2023 (as amended to date, the “Innventure Convertible Line of Credit”). As a result of the Repayment, the Company’s indirect beneficial holdings, through Innventure LLC, of Accelsius may be reduced in the event that the Term Convertible Notes are converted into Series A Units of Accelsius.
Accelsius also sold a convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Bridge Convertible Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to Joshua Claman, Chief Executive Officer of Accelsius. An additional $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Bridge Convertible Notes is issuable in $1,000,000 increments, upon the request of Accelsius and subject to Mr. Claman’s sole discretion. The Bridge Convertible Notes are convertible into equity of Accelsius (including preferred equity at a discount if certain conditions are met), bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, and mature on December 31, 2025.
Additionally, the Company, Innventure LLC, and Accelsius entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Mr. Claman pursuant to which Innventure LLC will not seek repayment of any portion of that Innventure Convertible Line of Credit other than the repayment of up to $12,000,000 that is anticipated to be made immediately following the issuance by Accelsius of the Term Convertible Notes, while any Bridge Convertible Notes remain outstanding.
The Bridge Convertible Notes and the Term Convertible Notes contain customary representations, warranties, and other agreements by Accelsius and, in the case of the Term Convertible Notes, the Investors. Each of WTI Fund X, Inc. and WTI Fund XI, Inc. (the “WTI Lenders”) and YA II PN, Ltd (“Yorkville”) have been granted certain rights under the Bridge Convertible Notes and the Term Convertible Notes, including with respect to restrictions on payment of the Bridge Convertible Notes and the Term Convertible Notes prior to the repayment of certain of the WTI Lenders’ and Yorkville’s existing indebtedness.
The foregoing summary of the Term Convertible Notes, the Letter Agreement and the Bridge Convertible Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Term Convertible Notes, the Letter Agreement and the Bridge Convertible Notes, forms of which are included as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed, in December 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Innventure, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a grant of 150,000 appreciation rights (“SARs”) to each of Mike Otworth (the Company’s Executive Chairman) and Dr. John Scott (the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer). The SARs represent the right of the officer to receive a number of shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) with a value equal to the appreciation in the value of a Class A Common Unit of Accelsius Holdings LLC over a base price of $12.175 (the “Spread”). In general, the SARs will be automatically exercised upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the 24-month anniversary of the grant date, (b) the officer’s death, or (c) the officer’s “disability” (as defined in the applicable award agreement).



On June 25, 2025, each of Mr. Otworth and Dr. Scott entered into an amendment to his SAR award (each, a “SAR Amendment”) to (1) clarify that any payment by the Company to the applicable officer with respect to the SARs will be made in the form of shares of Common Stock and (2) to provide that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to each officer’s SAR award is 1,875,000 (the “Share Cap”). Under the SAR Amendment, the Company will not be required to pay either officer any amount in excess of the Share Cap (in the form of either equity or cash), even if the value of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the SARs is less than the aggregate Spread as a result of the Share Cap.
The foregoing summary of the SAR Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the SAR Amendment, a form of which is included as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

[●], 2025 (the “Effective Date”)

In exchange for the principal sum of [●] dollars ($[●]) (the “Principal Amount”) loaned to Accelsius Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), by [●], [an individual][a [●]] (the “Lender”), on the Effective Date, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Lender the Principal Amount, together with accrued interest thereon pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this note (this “Note”).

(“Innventure Parent”) and Innventure LLC (“Innventure LLC,” together with Innventure Parent, “Innventure”) owed to WTI Fund X, Inc. and WTI Fund XI, Inc. (collectively, “WTI”) as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time; provided, however, that it is understood that no agreements under this Section 3 creates any borrower obligations of the Borrower or the Lender under the Senior Indebtedness.



(b)    The Lender will not demand or receive from the Borrower (and the Borrower will not pay to the Lender) all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will the Lender commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against the Borrower related to this Note, for so long as any portion of the Senior Indebtedness remains outstanding or so long as WTI is committed or otherwise obligated to extend credit to Innventure (excluding any conversion of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note into capital stock of the Borrower); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3 will prevent the Lender from exercising its rights under Section 5 with respect to conversion of this Note.
(c)    No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to this Note shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Section 3 in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or grant any lien or security interest in the Borrower’s property in favor of the Lender.

(i)    In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Note (or any other document executed or delivered in connection with this Note) and the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the subject matter of this Section 3, this Section 3 shall prevail.
(j)    Any failure to pay any amount due under this Note as a result of the terms of this Section 3 shall not constitute an event of default under this Note.

5.    Conversion Right.
(a)    Conversion Amount. On and after January 2, 2026, the Lender shall have the right to elect to receive equity in the Borrower in lieu of receipt of cash repayment of all amounts due under this Note at the time of conversion (the “Payment Amount”). Such Payment Amount shall be convertible in whole into units of the Borrower’s Series A Units (as defined in the Borrower’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2023, as amended from time to time; such Series A Units being referred to herein as the “Series A Preferred Units”) at a price per unit equal to $12.175 on the same terms and conditions as the Series A Preferred Units that were issued and sold by the Borrower in early 2024, including, for the avoidance of doubt, substantially the same terms as the designations, powers, preferences and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Units (the “Series A Conversion”).
(b)    Conversion Notice. To effectuate the Series A Conversion, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with (i) a written notice at the email address set forth below the Borrower’s signature hereto of (1) [[his][her][its]] election to exercise [[his][her][its]] right to receive Series A Preferred Units in lieu of cash pursuant to this Section 4 and (2) the estimated date (such date, the “Conversion Date”) of the consummation of the Series A Conversion, which date shall be at least twenty (20) days after the date of such notice, and (ii) on the Conversion Date, a written certification, dated as of the Conversion Date, acknowledging the representations set forth in Section 5.

In lieu of any fractional Series A Preferred Units to which the Lender would otherwise be entitled, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional Series A Preferred Unit.
6.    Lender’s Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the Conversion Date, the Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower:
(a) Investment Purpose. The Lender is acquiring this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Lender does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as defined below) to distribute this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, in violation of applicable securities laws. As used herein, “Person” means a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.



(b)    Accredited Investor Status. The Lender is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(c)    Reliance on Exemptions. The Lender understands that this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Borrower is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Lender to acquire this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable.
(d)    Information. The Lender and its advisors (and its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Borrower and information the Lender deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, which have been requested by the Lender. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Borrower and its management. The Lender understands that its investment in this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, involves a high degree of risk. The Lender has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable.
(e) Transfer or Resale. The Lender understands that: (i) this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) such Lender provides the Borrower with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; and (ii) any sale of this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of this Note or the Series A Preferred Units, as applicable, under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.



(f)    Legends. The Lender agrees to the imprinting of a restrictive legend on the Series A Preferred Units in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Certificates evidencing the Series A Preferred Units shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) following any sale of such Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC), or (iii) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, provided, that, in the case of sub-clause (iii), the Borrower has received a customary representation letter from such Lender, the form and substance of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. The Lender agrees that the removal of a restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 5(f) is predicated upon the Borrower’s reliance that the Lender will sell any Series A Preferred Units pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
7.    Borrower’s Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to include all of the Borrower’s subsidiaries):
(a) the Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full limited liability company power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted by it, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, and to enter into and perform this Note and to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Note;

(d)    the execution of and performance of the transactions contemplated by this Note and compliance with its provisions by the Borrower will not violate any provision of law and will not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or require a consent or waiver which has not been obtained under, its certificate of formation (as the same may have been amended or restated prior to the date hereof) or any indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, or any decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent the noncompliance with or any such conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;
(e)    there is no pending action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, mediation, complaint, claim, charge or investigation before any court, arbitrator, mediator or governmental body, or to the Borrower's knowledge, currently threatened against the Borrower (excluding the civil lawsuit filed in in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc., case no. CI-23-03275) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;

9.    Remedies. No delay or omission on part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or of any other right of the Lender, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.

The Borrower shall not use the proceeds of this Note for any purpose not described in this Section 9 without the written approval of the Lender.
11. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Principal Amount: up to $3,000,000
In exchange for the principal sum of up to three million dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Maximum Principal Amount” and such principal sum outstanding at any time hereunder, the “Principal Amount”) to be loaned to Accelsius Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), by Josh Claman, an individual (the “Lender”), the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Lender the Principal Amount, together with accrued interest thereon pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this note (this “Note”).

(c)    No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to this Note shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Section 3 in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or grant any lien or security interest in the Borrower’s property in favor of the Lender.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 3 shall bind any successors or assignees of the Lender and shall benefit any successors or assigns of each of WTI and Yorkville.

6.    Lender’s Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the Conversion Date, the Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower:
(a)    Investment Purpose. The Lender is acquiring this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Lender does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as defined below) to distribute this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, in violation of applicable securities laws. As used herein, “Person” means a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.
(b)    Accredited Investor Status. The Lender is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(c)    Reliance on Exemptions. The Lender understands that this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Borrower is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Lender to acquire this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable.
(d) Information. The Lender and its advisors (and its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Borrower and information the Lender deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, which have been requested by such Lender. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Borrower and its management. The Lender understands that its investment in this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, involves a high degree of risk. The Lender has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable.



(e)    Transfer or Resale. The Lender understands that: (i) this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) such Lender provides the Borrower with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; and (ii) any sale of this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of this Note or the Conversion Units, as applicable, under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.
(f)    Legends. The Lender agrees to the imprinting of a restrictive legend on the Conversion Units in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.



Certificates evidencing the Conversion Units shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) following any sale of such Conversion Units pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC), or (iii) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, provided, that, in the case of sub-clause (iii), the Borrower has received a customary representation letter from such Lender, the form and substance of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. The Lender agrees that the removal of a restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 6(f) is predicated upon the Borrower’s reliance that the Lender will sell any Conversion Units pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
7.    Default. If (i) the Borrower fails to pay any amount due under this Note on the Maturity Date (such unpaid amount, the “Default Amount”) and (ii) the Lender fails to exercise the Conversion by or on the Maturity Date, such failure shall constitute an event of default under this Note (an “Event of Default”). If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, interest shall accrue on the Default Amount at a rate of two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the interest payable on the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to Section 1 hereof from the date that the Event of Default occurs through the date that the Default Amount and any unpaid interest thereon is paid in full. Such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
8.    Remedies. No delay or omission on part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or of any other right of the Lender, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.
9.    Loan Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a loan fee (the “Loan Fee”) of $35,000, which Loan Fee shall be deemed fully earned and due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (x) all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, (y) all amounts due under this Note are converted pursuant to Section 5 or (z) the Maturity Date.

11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEY) OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.



12.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any interest rate applicable to the loan evidenced by this Note (the “Loan”), together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on the Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, any rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 12 shall be cumulated and credited to the principal balance of such Loan, and the provisions hereof shall immediately be reformed and the amounts thereafter decreased to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable usury laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise due under this Note.
13.    Amendment; Waiver. Subject to Section 3(c), this Note may only be amended by a written instrument signed by both parties.

This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).
15.    Entire Agreement. This Note constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter.
