The parties agree that there are two 8% Convertible Promissory Notes outstanding between the parties currently as follows: 1) 8% Convertible note dated August 30, 2021 with $100,000 unpaid principal and $3,594.52 of accrued and unpaid interest as of March 13, 2023 and 2) 8% Convertible note dated June 8, 2022 with $350,000 unpaid principal and $12,580.82 of accrued and unpaid interest as of March 13, 2023 (collectively the “Old Notes”). The outstanding principal balance of the Old Notes totaling $450,000.00 will be exchanged into one note upon the issuance of this 8% Convertible Promissory Note (the “New Note”). Therefore, upon issuance of the New Note the Old Notes will be cancelled, replaced and superseded by the New Note. All outstanding and unpaid accrued interest related to the Old Notes remain outstanding and in effect and is repayable prior to September 30, 2023.

1. Interest and Fees. This Note shall bear interest (“Interest”) equal to twelve percent (8%) per annum. Interest will be calculated on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. The Company shall pay the Interest on the last day of each month and all remaining accrued and unpaid interest becoming due and payable before the Maturity Date, as defined below. In no event shall the rate of Interest payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

2. Payments. All payments under this Note shall be made by the Company hereunder, whether on account of principal or Interest, without set-off or counterclaim and shall first be credited against costs and expenses provided for in this Note, second to the payment of any penalties, third to the payment of accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, and the remainder shall be credited against principal. All payments due hereunder shall be payable in legal tender of the United States of America, and in same day funds delivered to Holder by cashier’s check, certified check, or bank wire transfer to the mailing address provided below, or at such other place as Holder shall designate in writing for such purpose from time to time made prior to noon, Kansas City, Kansas time, on the Maturity Date. If a payment under this Note otherwise would become due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday (any other day being a “Business Day”), the due date of the payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and Interest, if any, shall be payable thereon during such extension.

3. Maturity Date. This Note shall be due and payable in full, including all accrued Interest thereon, on September 30, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to Paragraph 4, “Pre-Payments.”

4. Pre-Payments. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall have the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part without penalty, on ten (10) days’ advance notice to Holder. On such prepayment date, the Company will pay in respect of this Note cash equal to the face amount plus accrued Interest on the Note (or portion thereof) being prepaid.

5. Conversion of Note

5.1 Conversion of Note/Conversion Price. This Note is convertible as to principal and any accrued Interest, at the option of Holder, into shares of the company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) at any time after the issue Date and prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date at the rate of Forty Cents ($0.40) per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Company will provide written notice of its intent to prepay the Note in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. In such case, Holder will have five (5) Business Days following the date on which Holder receives such written notice to determine whether Holder will convert all or part of the Note into Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay cash for fractional share amounts equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock as quoted as the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date of conversation.

5.2 Adjustment to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted if the Company shall at any time (i) pay a stock dividend on the Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares; (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any other special capital stock of the Company; or (v) distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for Common Stock (other than those mentioned above). No adjustment of the Conversion Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to 10 Cents ($0.10) per Note or more. Upon the occurrence of an event requiring adjustment of the Conversion Price, and thereafter, Holder, upon surrender of this Note for conversion, shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company that Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event.

5.3 Adjustment Based Upon Merger or Consolidation. In case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity and which does not result in any reclassification of or change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another person, firm, or corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, Holder shall have the right to convert this Note into the kind and amount of securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior thereto.

5.4 Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

5.4.1 The Conversion Privilege provided for in this Note shall be exercisable by Holder by written notice to the Company or its successor and the surrender of this Note in exchange for the number of shares (or other securities and property, including cash, in the event of an adjustment of the Conversion Price) into which this Note is convertible based upon the Conversion Price.

5.4.2 Holder’s conversion right set forth in this Paragraph 5.4 may be exercised at any time and from time to time but prior to payment in full of the principal amount of the accrued interest on this Note. Conversion rights will expire at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Maturity Date or redemption date of this Note.

5.4.3 Holder may exercise the right to convert all or any portion of the principal amount and accrued Interest on this Note by delivery of (i) this Note and (ii) a completed Conversion Notice in the form attached as Exhibit A on a Business Day to the Company’s principal executive offices. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day of such delivery a conversion notice (the “Conversion Date”), and Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which this Note is converted as of such date.

5.4.4 Upon conversion of the entire principal amount and accrued Interest of this Note and the delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 21, “Representations and Warranties to Survive Closing,” the Company shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

5.6 Issuance of Certificates. Upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of such conversion, issue to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of the Common Stock (or other securities in the event of an adjustment of the Conversion Price) to which the conversion relates.

6. Unsecured Indebtedness. This Note is unsecured.

7. Status of Holder of Note. This Note shall not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company or to any rights whatsoever except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect of this Note or the securities issuable upon the conversion hereof unless and until this Note shall be converted. Upon the conversion of this Note, Holder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered.

8. Reserve of Shares of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, and other securities in the event of an adjustment of the Conversion Price, a number of shares sufficient to enable it to comply with its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock, and other securities in the event of an adjustment of the Conversion Price, upon the conversion of this Note.
