Convertible Promissory Note












August 30, 2016












For value received, the undersigned EnergyTek, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to the order of _________________ (the "Holder"), the principal sum of Thirty Thousand and xx/100 ($30,000.00) without interest, and in the event  of default at 18% per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year) compounded on the last day of each month, until the entire principal amount and accrued interest hereof shall have been paid in full (the "Default Rate").  The principal is due and payable on September 30, 2016. Upon a default, in addition to all other remedies the Holder may have it may by written notice elect to convert this Note into 2,666.67 shares of a new Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company which shall be identical to and pari passu to the outstanding Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock as described in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock on file with the Secretary of State of Nevada.







The principal and interest shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America to the Holder at ________________________, or at such other place as the Holder shall designate for such purpose in writing.







This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.







This Note shall be in default when payment shall not have been made on the due date.  This Note shall remain in default until said payment shall have been made.  In the event that upon default the Holder retains counsel to collect the Note and/or files an action to collect this Note, the Holder shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. "Attorney's fees" are defined to include, but are not limited to, all fees, reasonably and actually incurred in all matters of collection and enforcement, construction and interpretation, before, during and after suit, proceedings and appeals, as well as appearances in and connected with any bankruptcy proceedings or creditors, reorganization, or similar proceedings.  "Attorney's fees" shall also include reasonable and actually incurred paralegal and law clerk fees.







No provision hereof shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal hereof and interest and premium, if any, herein at the time and place specified herein.



 










 


The rights and remedies of the Holder shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately or successively, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise.  Failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release thereof.







The Company hereby waives presentment for payment, notice of demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of payment of this Note, and hereby waives all notice or right of approval of any extensions, renewals, or modifications or forbearance which may be allowed.







Upon the occurrence of a default, the interest rate to be paid by the Company on the amount due hereunder shall continue at the Default Rate even after the entry of a judgment against the Company.







All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


The Company agrees that: (a) the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempted transaction under the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C.

The Company and the Holder, as an independent covenant, irrevocably waive the right to a jury trial and the right thereto in any and all disputes between the Company and such holder hereunder.







Upon any endorsement, assignment, or other transfer of this Note by the Holder or by operation of law, the term "Holder," as used herein, shall mean such endorsee, assignee, or other transferee or successor to the Holder, then becoming the holder of this Note.
