Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 29, 2024, EzFill Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Next Charging, LLC (“Next”) entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) for the sum of $165,000 (the “Loan”) to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, which Note has an effective date of February 28, 2024. The Note has an original issue discount (“OID”) equal to $15,000, which is 10% of the aggregate original principal amount of the Loan. The unpaid principal balance of the Note has a fixed rate of interest of 8% per annum for the first nine months, afterward, the Note will begin to accrue interest on the entire balance at 18% per annum.
Unless the Note is otherwise accelerated, or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions therein, the balance of the Note, along with accrued interest, will be due on April 28, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date will automatically be extended for 2 month periods, unless Next sends 10 days written notice, prior to the end of any 2 month period, that it does not wish to extend the Note, at which point the end of the then current 2 month period shall be the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Company completing a capital raise of at least $3,000,000, the entire outstanding principal and interest through the Maturity Date will be immediately due.
If the Company defaults on the Note, (i) the unpaid principal and interest sums, along with all other amounts payable, multiplied by 150% will be immediately due, and (ii) Next will have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all other amounts under the Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price shall equal the greater of the average VWAP over the ten (10) Trading Day period prior to the conversion date; or $0.70 (the “Floor Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion price shall not exceed $2.05 per share.
The Company has agreed to issue 52,000 shares of its common stock to Next (the “Commitment Fee Shares”). The Commitment Fee Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Commitment Fee Shares were deemed fully earned as of February 28, 2024.
The Company and Next have agreed that the total cumulative number of common stock issued to Next under this Note, together with all other transaction documents may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq 19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following shareholder approval. If the Company is unable to obtain shareholder approval to issue common stock to Next in excess of the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, then any remaining outstanding balance of this Note must be repaid in cash at the request of Next.
The Note contains a protection for Next in the event the Company effectuates a split of its common stock. In the event of a stock split, if the Note is issued and outstanding and has not been converted, then the number of shares and the price for any conversion under the Note will be adjusted by the same ratios or multipliers of, any such subdivision, split, reverse split.
Michael Farkas is the managing member of Next (the “Managing Member”). The Managing Member is also the beneficial owner of approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Additionally and as previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2023, on August 10, 2023, and on November 8, 2023, the Company, the members (the “Members”) of Next and its Managing Member, as an individual and also as the representative of the Members, entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the Members 100% of the membership interests of Next in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Members of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the “Closing”), Next will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Closing has not occurred.
The information set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, which is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

| 2 |
11.3. Integration. This Note constitutes the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect thereto.
11.4. Borrower’s Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation:
11.4.1. any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to or deletion from, this Note, or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof;
11.4.2. any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreement or instrument or this Note;
11.4.3. any furnishing of any additional security to the Borrower or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Lender or its assignee; or
11.4.4. any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof.
11.5. No Implied Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to such right or remedy in a subsequent event. After any acceleration of, or the entry of any judgment on, this Note, the acceptance by Lender of any payments by or on behalf of Borrower on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default or reinstate or be deemed to reinstate the terms of this Note absent an express written agreement duly executed by Lender and Borrower.
11.6. No Usurious Amounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent of the parties that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate which is in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law (the “Maximum Rate”). If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required to pay interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be applied to and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the outstanding principal balance, unless Borrower shall notify Lender, in writing, that Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payable under this Note exceeds the Maximum Rate, any non-principal payment, including, without limitation, late charges, shall be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest.
11.7. Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be automatically added hereto a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
11.8. Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Note shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Note cannot be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Borrower shall be void and of no effect with respect to Lender.
11.9. Modifications. This Note may not be supplemented, extended, modified or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
| 3 |
11.10. Sales or Participations. Lender may, from time to time, sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in, the Loan, this Note and/or the obligations evidenced thereby. The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Lender and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Lender; and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker’s lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to Borrower, in each case as fully as though Borrower were directly indebted to such holder. Lender may in its discretion give notice to Borrower of such sale, assignment or participation; however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Lender’s or such holder’s rights hereunder.
11.11. Jurisdiction; etc. Borrower hereby consents that any action or proceeding against him be commenced and maintained in any court in Miami-Dade County Florida and Borrower agrees that the courts in Miami-Dade County Florida shall have jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter hereof and the person of Borrower. Borrower agrees not to assert any defense to any action or proceeding initiated by Lender based upon improper venue or inconvenient forum.
11.12. Notices. All notices from the Borrower to Lender and Lender to Borrower required or permitted by an provision of this Note shall be in writing and sent by registered or certified mail or nationally recognized overnight delivery service and addressed to the address set forth above.
Notice given as hereinabove provided shall be deemed given on the date of its deposit in the United States Mail and, unless sooner actually received, shall be deemed received by the party to whom it is address on the third (3rd) calendar day following the date on which said notice is deposited in the mail, or if a courier system is used, on the date of delivery of the notice. The parties may add, deleted, or alter any address to which notice is to be provided by providing written notice of such change pursuant to the terms of this section.
11.13. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of laws principles.
11.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND LENDER AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY LENDER OR BORROWER, ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO, SHALL BE TRIED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY A JURY. LENDER AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY AND WITH THE ADVICE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS NOTE AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWER IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS NOTE.
11.15. Adjustment Due to Stock Split by Borrower. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes Borrower shall: (i) subdivides outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (ii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the number of shares and the price for any conversion under this Note shall be adjusted in alignment with, in accordance with, and by the same ratios or multipliers of, any such subdivision, split, reverse split set forth in items (i) and (ii) of this subsection.
