CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$100,000.00 October 10, 2025

 

INTEGRATED RAIL AND RESOURCES ACQUISITION CORP, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, promises to pay to Paul Gonzalez or his permitted assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

 

The principal balance of this convertible promissory note (this “Note”), shall be payable on the earlier of: (a) the effective date of the consummation of the Company’s initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (in any case, the “Business Combination”) with Tar Sands Holdings II, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“TSH”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 12, 2024, as amended by that certain Amendment to and Waiver of Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 8, 2024, that certain Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 31, 2024, that certain Waiver to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 30, 2025, that certain Third Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 14, 2025, that certain Fourth Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 14, 2025, that certain Fifth Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 15, 2025, and as further amended or modified from time to time by and among the Company (the “Merger Agreement”), Uinta Integrated Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), TSH and the other parties thereto, or (b) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (in either case, the “Maturity Date”). Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), and in lieu of any cash payment, this Note shall convert into 20,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement), pursuant to Section 1 below; provided, that, should the Business Combination fail to close for any reason, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy its obligations under this Note by cash payment in an amount equal to $[200,000] by wire payment of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder. Any balance under this Note may be prepaid at any time (and the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock or final cash payment, as the case may be, will be reduced accordingly). Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Company, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Company hereunder. The Holder understands that if the Business Combination is not consummated, this Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities (the “Trust Account” and such offering, the “IPO”), and that all other amounts will be contributed to capital, forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven or eliminated.

 

1. Mandatory Conversion. The entire outstanding principal balance due on this Note shall be automatically converted (without any action of the Holder or the Company) into 20,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock upon the Closing.

 

 

 

 

2. Mechanics of Conversion. As soon as practicable after the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company shall cause Holdings to issue and deliver to the Holder a book entry receipt from its transfer agent representing the number of shares of common stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Regardless of whether such book entry receipt shall be issued as provided for above, the conversion of this Note as provided by Section 1 above shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Closing, and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares on such date.

 

3. No Rights as Holder of Equity Securities. This Note does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a holder of Holdings securities prior to the conversion hereof.

 

4. Loss, Theft or Destruction of Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note and of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, the Company will make and deliver a new Note which shall carry the same rights carried by this Note, stating that such Note is issued in replacement of this Note, making reference to the original date of issuance of this Note.

 

5. Trust Waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in or to any monies in, or any distribution of or from, the Trust Account (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The Holder hereby agrees not to make any Claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such Claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Note, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such Claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent the Holder commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Maker (including this Note), which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Maker, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such Claim shall not permit the Maker (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of it) to have any Claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein.
