SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 28, 2021, in connection with the assignment of that certain Demand Promissory Note dated April 20, 2020 in the principal amount of $10,000 (the “Demand Note”) that was initially in favor of Zixiao Chen (our Chief Financial Officer at the time of the Demand Note’s issuance) to Eagle Investment Group, LLC, we amended and restated the demand (the “Amended Demand Note”) that is now in favor of Eagle Investment Group, LLC.  Mr. Bruce Cassidy Sr., our Chief Executive Officer, is the Manager of Eagle Investment Group, LLC.

 

The Amended Demand Note matures on two (2) days’ notice (“Maturity”) from the holder to our company. All $10,000 in principal and all unpaid and accrued interest shall be due at Maturity. The holder may convert all or a portion of the accrued interest and unpaid principle balance of the Amended Demand Note into shares of our newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the conversion price of $1.00 per share.  The Amended Demand Note contains the customary provisions for events of default and rights and remedies of the holder.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended Demand Note, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Amended Demand Note, which is included in this Current Report as Exhibit 4.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

SECTION 3 - SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On December 28, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Demand Note and a Notice of Conversion dated December 28, 2021 from the holder requesting that we convert the entirety of principal and all unpaid and accrued interest on the Amended Demand Note, we issued a total of 11,693 shares of our newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share to Eagle Investment Group, LLC.

 

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The investor represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investor was given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificate with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted Series B Convertible Preferred stock.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders

 

On December 28, 2021, pursuant to Article III of our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors voted to designate a class of preferred stock entitled Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, consisting of up to twelve thousand (12,000) shares with a Stated Value of $1.00 per share.

 

Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends, as declared by our board, in the amount of one dollar for the entire then-issued and outstanding series and the remainder of any dividends on an as-converted basis with common stockholders.  The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote with the common stockholders on an as-converted basis; but, with respect to the election of directors, however, the majority of the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the power to elect a majority of the then-seated or to-be-seated members of our board and the common stockholders shall be entitled only to elect a minority of the then-seated or to-be-seated members of our board.

 

In any distribution upon winding up, dissolution, or liquidation, the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the Stated Value for each share along with any unpaid and accrued dividends, after which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall convert into shares of common stock to participate with the common stockholders in any remaining distribution.

 

The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to convert each share of Series B Preferred Stock into one hundred (100) shares of common stock at any time. Upon the closing of an underwritten offering with


2


proceeds of not less than $6 million, all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall convert at the conversion ratio described.

 

We are not permitted to redeem the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and there are no redemption rights in favor of the holders. Without obtaining the affirmative approval of the majority of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, we are restricted from, among other things, amending our charter documents in a manner than would adversely affect the rights of any holder.

 

The rights of the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are defined in the relevant Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 29, 2021, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Stock).  Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $1.00 per share (the “Stated Value”).  

Section 3.  Dividends.

a)  The Company shall not declare, pay, or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in these Articles of Incorporation or under applicable law) the Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Series B Certificate of Designation.  The Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, as declared by the Board of Directors and out of funds legally available for the purpose, a dividend in the aggregate amount of one dollar, regardless of the number of then-issued and outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  The remaining dividends allocated by the Board of Directors shall be distributed in an equal amount per share to the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Holders of outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis pursuant to the Conversion Ratio as defined below).

Section 4.  Voting Rights Generally; Voting for Election of Directors.

a)  The Holder of each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have such number of votes as is determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder and (b) the Conversion Ratio.  Such voting calculation is hereby authorized by the Company and the Company acknowledges such calculation may result in the total number of possible votes cast by the Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock in any given voting matter exceeding the total aggregate number of shares that this Company shall have authority to issue.  With respect to any vote by the holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock, such Holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of shares of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any meeting of the holders of shares of the Company’s capital Stock in accordance with the Bylaws of this Company, and shall be entitled to vote, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which the holders of shares of Common Stock have the right to vote.  The Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with all other classes and series of common stock and preferred stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock, except to the extent that voting as a separate class or series is required by law.

b)  The authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors, and the manner in which such directors are to be elected, shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s Bylaws and in any voting or other agreement that may be entered into among the holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock concerning the election of directors, provided, however, that, so long as any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the directors of the Company shall be elected as follows:

i)  the holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented at a duly called special meeting or annual meeting of such stockholders or by an action by written consent for that purpose shall be entitled to elect a majority of the then-seated or to-be-seated members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Series B Directors”).  The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may waive their rights to elect any or all of the Series B Directors at any time or from time to time and assign such right to the board of directors to elect such directors; and

ii)  the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at a duly called special meeting or annual meeting of such stockholders or by an action by written consent for that


3

KeyStar Series B Certificate of Designation



purpose shall be entitled to elect a minority of the then-seated or to-be-seated members of the Company’s board of directors.

Section 5.  Liquidation Preference.  Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock out of the proceeds of the Liquidation, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees then due and owing thereon under this Series B Certificate of Designation.  Immediately thereafter, all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock based upon the then-applicable Conversion Ratio and shall participate in any liquidation proceeds pro rata with the holders of the other shares of Common Stock on such as-converted basis.  A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation.

Section 6.  Conversion.  The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Common Stock and have no other conversion rights except as specifically set forth below:

a)  Conversion (Permissive and Mandatory).  The “Conversion Ratio” per share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with any Conversion shall be at a ratio of 1:100, meaning every one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, if and when converted into shares of Common Stock, shall convert into 100 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion”).

i)  Permissive Conversion.  Each Holder shall have the right, exercisable at any time and from time to time (unless otherwise prohibited by law, rule, or regulation, or as restricted below), to convert any or all of such Holder’s shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio.

ii)  Mandatory Conversion.  Upon the closing of an underwritten, follow-on public offering of shares of the Company’s Common Stock with gross offering proceeds of not less than $6,000,000, each then-outstanding share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio without any affirmative action required of the Holder.

b)  Taxes.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.  The Company shall withhold from any payment due whatsoever in connection with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock any and all required withholdings and/or taxes the Company, in its sole discretion deems reasonable or necessary, absent an opinion from Holder’s accountant or legal counsel, acceptable to the Company in its sole determination, that such withholdings and/or taxes are not required to be withheld by the Company.

c)  Stock Dividends, Splits, and Reclassifications.  If the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or other distribution payable in securities or (ii) split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number, including any such reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation, or other business combination in which the Company is the continuing entity (any such corporate event, a “Section 6(c) Event”), then, in each instance, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted such that the number of shares issued upon conversion of one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will equal the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued but for such Section 6(c) Event.

d)  Fundamental Transaction.  If, at any time while this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, including a Change of Control


4

KeyStar Series B Certificate of Designation



Transaction, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed, pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares for other securities, cash, or property and has been accepted by the holders of two-thirds or more of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization, or recapitalization of the shares of Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, or scheme of arrangement) with another Person, whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share at the Conversion Rate, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Rate among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of shares of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash, or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a Conversion Rate that applies the Conversion Rate hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series B Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and that is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Series B Certificate of Designation with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

e)  Fractional Shares.  If any Conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to each Conversion), such fractional share shall be rounded up to


5

KeyStar Series B Certificate of Designation



the nearest whole share and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one additional whole share of Common Stock.

f)  Reservation of Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will within a reasonable time period make a good faith effort to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

g)  Effect of Conversion.  On any Conversion Date, all rights of any Holder with respect to the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive distributions of the Company’s assets or notices from the Company, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such Holder to receive certificates (if applicable) for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted.

Section 7Redemption.  The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no redemption rights by the Company or any other entity.  

Section 8.  Protective Provisions.  In addition to any other rights provided by law, at any time any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, as a legal party in interest, the Company, through action directly initiated by the Company’s Board of Directors or indirectly initiated by the Company’s Board of Directors through judicial action or process, including any action by the holders of the shares of Common Stock, shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, take any of the following actions without first obtaining the affirmative approval by the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock:  

a)  Amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and this Series B Certificate of Designation, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of any Holder;

b)  Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock;

c)  Effect an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, but excluding a stock split or reverse stock split or combination of the shares of Common Stock or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock;

d)  Effect an exchange, or create a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class or series of shares into shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock;

e)  Alter or change the rights, preferences, or privileges of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including the rights set forth in this Series B Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that the Company may, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the Holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, make technical, corrective, administrative, or similar changes in this Series B Certificate of Designation that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Holders of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Section 9.  Preemptive Rights.  Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall not be entitled to any preemptive, subscription, or similar rights in respect of any securities of the Company, except as specifically set forth herein or in any other document agreed to by the Company.

Section 11.  Notices.  In addition to any other means of notice provided by law or in the Company’s Bylaws, any notice required by the provisions of this Series B Certificate of Designation to be given to the Holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed to each Holder of record at such Holder’s address appearing on the books of the Company.

Section 12.  Miscellaneous.

a)  The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Series B Certificate of Designation are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Series B Certificate of Designation.

b)  Whenever possible, each provision of this Series B Certificate of Designation shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law and public policy.  If any provision set forth herein is held to be invalid, unlawful, or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions of this Series B Certificate of Designation.  No provision herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision unless so expressed herein.  If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that a provision of this Series B Certificate of Designation would be valid or enforceable if a period of time were extended or shortened, then such court may make such change as shall be necessary to render the provision in question effective and valid under applicable law.

c)  the Company will provide to the Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock all communications sent by the Company to the holders of shares of Common Stock.

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED

DEMAND CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

US $10,000.00

Las Vegas, Nevada

 

December 28, 2021

 

For good and valuable consideration, KeyStar Corp, a Nevada corporation (“Maker”), hereby makes and delivers this First Amended and Restated Demand Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) in favor of Eagle Investment Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, its successors and assigns (“Holder”), and hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.  Principal Obligation and Interest.  For value received, Maker promises to pay to Holder at such place as Holder may designate in writing, in currently available funds of the United States, the principal sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).  Maker’s obligation under this Note shall accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date hereof until paid in full.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable, and actual days lapsed.

 

2.  Payment Terms.

 

Maker agrees to remit payment in full of all principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due hereunder to Holder on two days’ written notice from Holder (“Maturity”).

 

Interest on this Note shall be payable at Maturity to the Holder.

 

Maker shall have the right to prepay this Note by paying all of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest owing under the Note at the time of prepayment.

 

All payments shall be applied first to late charges, then to interest, then to principal and shall be credited to the Maker's account on the date that such payment is physically received by the Holder.

 

3.  Conversion.  Holder may, at its sole option, convert all or any portion of the accrued interest and unpaid principal balance of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Convertible Stock”) of the Maker at the conversion price of $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The number of shares of Convertible Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion given by Holder (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Maker by the Holder on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).  The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date.

 

4.  Representations and Warranties of Maker.  Maker hereby represents and warrants the following to Holder:

 

a.  Maker and those executing this Note on its behalf have the full right, power, and authority to execute, deliver and perform the obligations under this Note, which are not prohibited or restricted under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Maker.  This Note has been duly executed and delivered by an authorized officer of Maker and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Maker enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

b.  The execution of this Note and Maker’s compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof does not conflict with or violate any provision of any agreement, contract, lease, deed of trust, indenture, or instrument to which Maker is a party or by which Maker is bound, or constitute a default thereunder or result in the imposition of any lien, charge, encumbrance, claim or security interest of any nature whatsoever.

 

5.  Defaults.  The following shall be events of default under this Note:


Page 1 of 4


a.  Maker’s failure to remit any payment under this Note on or before the date due, if such failure is not cured in full within ten (10) days of written notice of default;

 

b.  If  Maker is dissolved, whether pursuant to any applicable articles of incorporation or bylaws, and/or any applicable laws, or otherwise;

 

c.  The entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Maker bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Maker under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee or trustee of the Maker, or any substantial part if its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of twenty (20) days; or

 

d.  Maker’s institution of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or its filing of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state law, or its consent to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee or trustee of the company, or of any substantial part of its property, or its making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Maker in furtherance of any such action.

 

6.  Rights and Remedies of Holder.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Maker under this Note or at any time before default when the Holder reasonably feels insecure, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, Holder may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

 

a.  Accelerate the time for payment of all amounts payable under this Note by written notice thereof to Maker, whereupon all such amounts shall be immediately due and payable.

 

b.  Pursue any other rights or remedies available to Holder at law or in equity.

 

7.  Interest To Accrue Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Maker under this Note, the balance then owing under the terms of this Note shall accrue interest at the rate of  twenty percent (20%) per annum, from the date of default until Holder is satisfied in full.

 

8.  Representation of Counsel.  Maker acknowledges that it has consulted with or have had the opportunity to consult with Maker’s legal counsel prior to executing this Note.  This Note has been freely negotiated by Maker and Holder and any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Note.

 

9. Choice of Laws; Actions.  This Note shall be constructed and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the choice of law principles of said State.  Maker acknowledges that this Note has been negotiated in Clark County, Nevada.  Accordingly, the exclusive venue of any action, suit, counterclaim or cross claim arising under, out of, or in connection with this Note shall be the state or federal courts in Clark County, Nevada.  Maker hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction sitting in Clark County, Nevada.

 

10.  Usury Savings Clause.  Maker expressly agrees and acknowledges that Maker and Holder intend and agree that this Note shall not be subject to the usury laws of any state other than the State of Nevada.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, if collection from Maker of interest at the rate set forth herein would be contrary to applicable laws of such State, then the applicable interest rate upon default shall be the highest interest rate that may be collected from Maker under applicable laws at such time.

 

11.  Costs of Collection.  Should the indebtedness represented by this Note, or any part hereof, be collected at law, in equity, or in any bankruptcy, receivership or other court proceeding, or this Note be placed in the hands of any attorney for collection after default, Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and interest due hereon, all

reasonable attorneys’ fees, plus all other costs and expenses of collection and enforcement, including any fees incurred in connection with such proceedings or collection of the Note and/or enforcement of Holder’s rights.

 

12. Miscellaneous.

 

a.  This Note shall be binding upon Maker and shall inure to the benefit of Holder and its successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives.

 

b.  Any failure or delay by Holder to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Note, or to exercise any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, agreement, right, power or remedy.

 

c.  Any provision of this Note that is unenforceable shall be severed from this Note to the extent reasonably possible without invalidating or affecting the intent, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.

 

d.  This Note may not be modified or amended in any respect except in a writing executed by the party to be charged.

 

e.  Time is of the essence.

 

13.  Notices.  All notices required to be given under this Note shall be given at such address as a party may designate by written notice to the other party.

 

Notices may be transmitted by facsimile, certified mail, private delivery, or any other commercially reasonable means, and shall be deemed given upon receipt by the Party to whom they are addressed.

 

14.  Waiver of Certain Formalities.  All parties to this Note hereby waive presentment, dishonor, notice of dishonor and protest.  All parties hereto consent to, and Holder is hereby expressly authorized to make, without notice, any and all renewals, extensions, modifications or waivers of the time for or the terms of payment of any sum or sums due hereunder, or under any documents or instruments relating to or securing this Note, or of the performance of any covenants, conditions or agreements hereof or thereof or the taking.  Any such action taken by Holder shall not discharge the liability of any party to this Note.

 

15.  Amendment and Restatement.  This Note amends and restates that certain Demand Convertible Promissory Note, dated April 20, 2020, issued by Maker to Zixiao Chen (“Prior Holder”) in the original principal amount of $10,000.00 (“Prior Note”), as such Prior Note was assigned to Holder by Prior Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Note Purchase and Assignment Agreement, dated December 17, 2021, by and among Prior Holder, Holder and Maker.  This Note is issued in substitution of the Prior Note and is not a novation of the indebtedness evidenced thereby.
