SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of Tusk Ventures LLC or its successors or assigns (the “Holder”) the principal amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Principal Amount”).  This Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note shall be referred to herein as the “Note”. This Note is made and delivered by the Maker to the Holder as of the date first written above (the “Original Issue Date”). This Note is subordinate to a series of notes issued in connection with a private placement offing by the Maker dated November 10, 2015, as amended (the “2015 Offering”).

1.            Advances .  This Note is made and delivered by the Maker to the Holder as of the date first written above (the “Original Issue Date”) pursuant to the terms of a Consulting Services Agreement between the Maker and the Holder dated July 19, 2016 (the “Consulting Agreement”). 

2.            Interest .  Simple interest on the Principal Amount from time-to-time remaining unpaid shall accrue from the date of this Note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and a 30 day month. Interest shall be paid, at the Maker’s option, in cash, or in shares of Maker’s Common Stock or in a mix of both, as further specified herein.

3.            Maturity Date .  All amounts, including principal and interest, payable hereunder shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) twenty four (24) months from the Original Issuance Date (the “Calendar Due Date”), (ii) the listing (the “Listing”) of the Maker’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market or NYSE MKT (each, a “National Exchange”), or (iii) a Change of Control (as defined below). Such date shall be referred to herein as the “Maturity Date”.

4.            Methods of Repayment .

4.1            Mandatory Conversion at Maturity .  On the Maturity Date, all amounts payable hereunder (except for interest, which is subject to payment in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Note) shall be repaid with shares of the Maker’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1 of this Note.

4.2            Optional Conversion prior to Maturity .  Prior to the Maturity Date, all or a portion of the principal payable hereunder, along with a proportional amount of all other amounts then payable under the Note (except for interest, which is subject to payment in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Note), may from time to time, at the sole option of the Holder, be repaid with shares of the Maker’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2 of this Note. Each date of such an optional conversion shall be referred to herein as an “Optional Conversion Date”.

4.3            Method of Interest Payment . Interest payable hereunder shall be paid on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Optional Conversion Date of the outstanding principal amount of the Note as to which such interest has accrued. Such payment may be made in cash, in shares of the Maker's Common Stock, or in a mixture of both, at the election of the Maker. If the Maker elects to pay any portion of the interest in shares, such shares will be converted in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Note.

4.4            No Prepayment Right .  All amounts payable hereunder shall be repaid on the Maturity Date or on one or more Optional Conversion Dates.

5.            Conversion of Note.   The following provisions shall govern the conversion into shares of Common Stock of any and all amounts due under this Note.

5.1            Mandatory Conversion at Maturity .  On the Maturity Date, all amounts payable hereunder (except for interest, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Note) shall be paid in shares of the Maker’s Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Mandatory Principal Conversion Price”) equal to the lowest of: (i) $3.75 (the “Closing Price”), (ii) the Listing Price (as defined below), (iii) the Public Offering Price (as defined below), (iv) the Private Offering Price (as defined below), or (v) the Change of Control Price (as defined below).  The “Listing Price” means the lower of the opening and closing National Exchange prices (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) on such day that the Maker’s Common Stock is first traded on a National Exchange. The “Public Offering Price” means the price per share (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) paid by public investors in an underwritten public offering conducted in connection with the Listing, without regard to any underwriting discount or other offering expense. The “Private Offering Price” means the means the lowest price per share (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) paid by investors in any private equity, equity-linked or debt financing (other than the 2015 Offering) conducted after the date hereof prior to the Listing, without regard to any broker’s fee or other offering expense. The “Change of Control Price” means the per-share consideration (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) paid in the Change of Control.

5.2            Optional Conversion prior to Maturity .  On each Optional Conversion Date, if any, all principal to be repaid on such date, along with a proportional amount of all other amounts then payable under the Note (except for interest, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Note) shall be paid in shares of the Maker’s Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Optional Principal Conversion Price”) equal to the Closing Price.

5.3            Conversion of Interest . On the Maturity Date and on each Optional Conversion Date, if any, the portion of the interest then payable hereunder that the Maker elects to pay in shares, if any, shall be paid in shares of the Maker’s Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Interest Conversion Price”) equal to the closing public market price (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) of the Maker’s Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of Maturity or such Optional Conversion Date, as applicable.

5.4            Conversion Rate .  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 shall be determined by dividing (x) the Principal Amount (plus other amounts payable) and the amount accrued interest, as the case may be, to be paid (the “Conversion Amount”) by (y) the Mandatory Principal Conversion Price, the Optional Principal Conversion Price or the Interest Conversion Price, as applicable.

5.5            No Fractional Shares .  The Maker shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Maker shall round up such fraction of a share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share.  The Maker shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion.

5.6            Mechanics of Conversion. Within 20 days of the Maturity Date and each Optional Conversion Date, if any, the Maker shall transmit to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock representing full repayment of the Conversion Amount being made on such date, and cash to the extent interest due on such date is being paid in cash, together with an explanation of the calculation of the share and cash amounts being transmitted.  Upon receipt of such items, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Maker as soon as practicable on or following such date (and shall execute an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date or Optional Conversion Date, as applicable.

5.7            Reservation of Common Stock . Until the Notes are paid in full, the Maker shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Note such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Maker’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder assuming all amounts payable under this Note shall be paid in shares of Common Stock (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Note).  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Maker does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock (the “Required Reserve Amount”) to satisfy its obligation set forth in this Section 5.7 (such failure, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Maker shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Maker’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Maker to maintain the Required Reserve Amount for all the Notes then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Maker shall, to the extent necessary or advisable in order to cure sure Authorized Share Failure, hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, in connection with such meeting, provide each shareholder with a proxy statement, and use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such increase.

5.8            Adjustments .  The applicable Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while the Maker’s conversion obligations remain outstanding, as follows:

5.8.1            Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.   If the Maker at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount thereof and other payments and interest accrued thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section 5.8 shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

5.8.2            Reclassification, etc.   If the Maker at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount thereof and other payments and interest accrued thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

5.8.3            Notice of Adjustment .  Whenever the applicable Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Maker shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the applicable Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

6.            Registration; Book-Entry . The Maker shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the Principal Amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error, and to that extent the Maker and the holders of the Notes shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of the Principal Amount and interest, if any, hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only in accordance with the terms of Section 12.3 of this Note and by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.

7.1.2           The Maker fails to observe and perform any of its covenants or agreements on its part to be observed or performed under the Purchase Agreement of the 2015 Offering and such failure shall continue for more than 30 days after notice of such failure has been delivered to the Maker by the holders of the 2015 Offering notes;

7.1.3           The Maker admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or consents to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or has a petition filed against it be adjudicated a bankrupt, or files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any State thereof;

7.1.4           A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment, or decree appointing, without the consent of the Maker, a receiver of the Maker or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or approving a petition filed against the Maker seeking reorganization or arrangement of the Maker under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any State thereof, and such order, judgment, or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days from the date of entry thereof;

7.1.5          Any court of competent jurisdiction assumes custody or control of the Maker or of the whole or any substantial part of its property under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors, and such custody or control is not terminated or stayed within 60 days from the date of assumption of such custody or control;

7.1.6.          This Note ceases to be, or is asserted by the Maker not to be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Maker enforceable in accordance with its terms;

7.1.7           A judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $250,000 are rendered against the Maker which judgments are not, within 60 days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within 60 days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a creditworthy party shall not be included in calculating the $250,000 amount set forth above so long as the Maker certifies that it has not received a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider denying such coverage (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) and if the Maker will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within 30 days of the issuance of such judgment;

7.1.8         A default by the Maker occurs under one or more obligations in an aggregate monetary amount in excess of $250,000 for more than 30 days after the applicable due dates, unless the Maker is contesting the validity of each such obligation in good faith and has segregated cash funds equal to not less than one-half of the disputed amount;

7.4            Remedies Cumulative, etc .  No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Holder under this Note, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise, is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent, and shall be in addition to every other such right or remedy, and may be pursued singly, concurrently, successively, or otherwise, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and shall not be exhausted by any one exercise thereof but may be exercised as often as occasion therefor may occur.  No act of the Holder shall be deemed or construed as an election to proceed under any one such right or remedy to the exclusion of any other such right or remedy; furthermore, each such right or remedy of the Holder shall be separate, distinct, and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of any other.

7.5            Usury Compliance .  All agreements between the Maker and the Holder are expressly limited, so that in no event or contingency whatsoever, whether by reason of the consideration given with respect to this Note, the acceleration of maturity of the unpaid Principal Amount and interest thereon, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness which is the subject of this Note exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under the applicable usury laws.  If, under any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note shall involve transcending the highest interest rate permitted by law which a court of competent jurisdiction deems applicable, then the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to such maximum rate, and if, under any circumstances whatsoever, the Holder shall ever receive as interest an amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal Amount under this Note and other amounts (excluding interest) owed in respect of this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount under this Note and such other amounts (excluding interest), such excess shall be refunded to the Maker.  This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between the Maker and the Holder.

8.            Replacement of Note.   Upon receipt by the Maker of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Note and (in case of loss, theft, or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, if mutilated, the Maker will make and deliver a new Note of like tenor in lieu of this Note.
