Principal Amount: $62,700
10% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
DATED October 9, 2020
THIS NOTE (the "Note") is a duly authorized Convertible Note of AB International Group Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company").
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company therefore promises to pay the Holder, the principal sum of $62,700 (the "Principal Amount") or such lesser principal amount following the conversion or conversions of this Note in accordance with Paragraph 2 (the "Outstanding Principal Amount") twelve (12) months from the date of issuance hereof (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount ("Interest") in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per Annum (the "Rate") from the date of issuance.
Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note and continue until the Company repays or provides for repayment in full the Outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid Interest. Accrued and unpaid Interest shall bear Interest at the Rate until paid, compounded annually. The Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company may prepay principal and interest on this Note at any time before the Maturity Date.
The Company will pay the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind (subject to the provision of paragraph 2 below), to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. All payments on account of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called "Taxes").
2. The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, six (6) months after the Company’s receipt of the proceeds of the Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to a price which is a 40% discount to the lowest trading price in the twenty
(20) days prior to the day that the Holder requests conversion, unless otherwise modified by mutual agreement between the Parties (the "Conversion Price") (The Common stock into which the Note is converted shall be referred to in this agreement as "Conversion Shares").The Issuer will not be obligated to issue fractional Conversion Shares. The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by surrendering the Note to the Company, with the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder's intention to convert the Note. If the Borrower is unable to issue any shares under this provision due to the fact that there is an
insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Holder promises not to force the Borrower to issue these shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that Borrower takes immediate steps required to get the appropriate level of approval from shareholders or the board of directors, where applicable to raise the number of authorized shares to satisfy the Notice of Conversion.
The Company will not issue fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, attn: CEO, COO. The Holder will deliver this Note, together
with original executed copy of the Notice of Conversion, to the Company within three (3) business days following the Conversion Date. At the Maturity Date, the Company will pay any unconverted Outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Company, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing conversion privilege, in no event shall Issuer have the right to convert into, nor shall the Issuer issue to such Holder, shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Holder and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the number of shares issuable to Holder is greater than 4.99% of the total issued common stock of the company, the Issuer must notify the Holder immediately. For purposes hereof, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder.
3. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
4. If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.
5. | Events of Default |
