THIS NOTE is a duly authorized Fixed Convertible
Secured Promissory Note of Star Alliance International Corp., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Nevada (“Company”), having its principal place of business located at 5743 Corsa Avenue, # 218, West Lake Village, CA 91362,
and having 154,163,028 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, designated as Company’s 10% Fixed Convertible Secured Promissory
Note, due and payable four months after the Issue Date defined below (“Maturity Date”), in the face amount of $400,000 (“Note”).

 

FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, Company promises to pay
to the order of Dominic Griego, an individual (“Holder”), residing at 2481 W. Dapple Gray Ct., Queen Creek, AZ 85142, or his
assigns or successors, the sum of $400,000 (“Principal Sum”) and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at
the fixed rate of ten percent (10%) per annum ("Interest Rate") from the date of receipt of funds by Company from Holder in
an amount equal to the Principal Sum ("Issue Date") until the same becomes due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date or
upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise, as well as any incurred fees payable in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent
such Principal Sum, interest and fees have not been converted into Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

As part of this agreement, Richard Carey, Chairman of Company,
will also transfer 4 million shares of common stock of Company from his own stock holding and deliver such shares to Holder within fifteen
(15) days of the Issue Date.

 

All principal and accrued interest then outstanding shall
be due and payable by Company to Holder on or before the Maturity Date. All payments shall be applied (a) first, to any amounts other
than principal and accrued interest, if any, hereunder, (b) second, to interest, and then (c) third, to principal; and shall be credited
to Company’s account on the date that such payment, if paid electronically, is confirmed by a Federal Reference Number or, if paid
by check, is received by Holder.

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and
encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of
Company and will not impose personal liability upon Holder.

Company hereby makes and delivers this Note in favor of
Holder and agrees as follows:

 

I. SECURITY

 

1.   
Collateral. As collateral security for the complete, and timely satisfaction of all present and future indebtedness,
liabilities, duties, and obligations of Company to Holder evidenced by or arising under this Note, and including, without limitation,
all principal and interest payable under this Note and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Holder in
the collection or enforcement of the same (collectively, the "Obligations"), Company hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Holder
a continuing security interest and lien in all of Company right, title and interest in and to the property, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired by Company and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence, including the proceeds of any disposition thereof, 0as
defined in the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code - Secured Transactions (Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") 104.9101 et. seq.) as
of the Issue Date of the Note, and as the same may be amended hereafter, described as:

 

All equipment at the Troy mine, as defined in NRS 104.9102(1)(gg).

 

As applicable, the terms of this Note with respect
to Company granting of a security interest in the Collateral to Holder shall be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable provisions
of the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC"), with Company as the debtor and Holder as the secured party.

 

2.   
Perfection of Holder’s Security Interest in the Collateral. Upon the execution and delivery of this Note, Company
authorizes Holder to file such financing statements and other documents in such offices as shall be necessary or as Holder may reasonably
deem necessary to perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Note, including any amendments, modifications, extensions
or renewals thereof. Company agrees, upon Holder’s request, to take all such actions as shall be necessary or as Holder may reasonably
request to perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Note, including any amendments, modifications, extensions or
renewals thereof. Until all Obligations of Company are satisfied hereunder, Company shall cooperate fully with Holder in establishing
and maintaining Holder’s perfection of Holder’s security interest in the Collateral, including notifying and keeping Holder
apprised of any change in the location of any Collateral. Upon satisfaction of all of the Obligations hereunder by Company, Holder shall
take all such actions as shall be necessary or as Company may reasonably request to remove the security interest on the Collateral.

 

3.   
Priority of Holder’s Security Interest in the Collateral. Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that
the security interest granted hereby shall be a first priority lien on the Collateral and no prior or superior liens, security interests
or encumbrances exist with respect to any part of the Collateral.

 

4.   
Covenants of Company with regard to the Collateral. For so long as any Obligations remain outstanding:

 

		a.	Company shall not sell, assign or transfer any of the Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein,
except in the ordinary course of its business;

 

		b.	Company shall pay or cause to be paid promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral,
unless disputed in good faith; and

 

		c.	By the Issue Date, Company shall have notified Holder as to the current location of all of the Collateral,
providing Holder with such information so that Holder may perfect and maintain the priority of its security interest therein.

 

 5. Use of the Collateral. For so long as no Event of Default, as defined herein below, shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Company shall be entitled to use and possess the Collateral and to exercise its rights, title and interest in all contracts, agreements, and licenses, subject to the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Holder under this Note, provided the use, possession or exercise of the Collateral does not otherwise constitute an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company shall remain liable to perform its duties and obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral in accordance with their respective terms to the same extent as if this Note had not been executed and delivered; the exercise by Holder of any right, remedy, power or privilege in respect of this Note shall not release Company from any of its outstanding duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements; and Holder shall have no duty, obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Note, nor shall Holder be obligated to perform any of the duties or obligations of Company under any such contract or agreement or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim (for payment) under any such contract or agreement.

II. CONVERSION

 

 1. Optional
Conversion. Subject to the terms herein, Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity
Date, or thereafter during an Event of Default to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Sum, and accrued interest
and fees due and payable, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Conversion Price, defined below,
provided, however, that in no event shall Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this
Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holder and (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this
proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by Holder of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the “Conversion
Shares.”

 

 2. Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall equal 50% multiplied by the Market Price, defined below (representing a discount rate of 50%).

 

 3. Market Price. The “Market Price” means the lowest of the five (5) Trading Prices, as defined below, for the Common Stock during the five (5) trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is received by Company from Holder (“Conversion Date”). The Conversion Notice may be delivered to Company by any method of Holder’s choice, including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, personal delivery, and the like.

 

4. Trading
Price. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”).

 

5. Ratification of Conversion
Notice and Delivery of Shares. If no objection is delivered from Company to Holder regarding any variable or calculation of the
Conversion Notice by the date following the Conversion Date, the Company shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed
and irrevocably ratified such Conversion Notice and waived any objection thereto. The Company shall deliver the shares from any conversion
to Holder within fifteen (15) business days of the Conversion Date.

 

6. Conversion Delays.
If Company fails to deliver shares within fifteen (15) business days of the Conversion Date, Holder, at any time prior to selling all
of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have
the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to Company (under Holder’s
and Company’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the Issue Date of the Note). In addition, for
each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fifteenth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty
of $500 per day will be assessed for each day after the fifteenth business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery
is made. Such penalty will be added to the Principal Sum of the Note (under Holder’s and Company’s expectations that any penalty
amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note).

 

7. Availability of Shares.
At all times during which this Note is convertible, Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number
of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note (“Reserved
Amount”). Company (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers
and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

8. Shorting and Hedging. Holder
may not engage in any “shorting” or “hedging” transaction in the Common Stock of Company prior to conversion.
Company acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by Holder, Holder immediately owns the shares of Common Stock
described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered a short
sale. Notwithstanding the above, Holder agrees that it will not sell any of its stock for a minimum of eighteen (18) months from the Conversion
Date.

IV. REMEDIES

 

1. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Company under this Note, 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 according to the following terms:

 

		i.	At Holder’s election, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note owing in respect thereof through
the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable in cash at the “Mandatory Default Amount”. The Mandatory
Default Amount means fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note will be automatically added to the Principal
Sum of the Note and tack back to the Issue Date for purposes of Rule 144.

 

		ii.	Commencing fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual
acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue additional interest, in addition to the Note’s “guaranteed” interest,
at a rate equal to the lesser of 14% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

		iii.	In connection with such acceleration described herein, Holder need not provide, and Company hereby waives,
any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce
any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.

 

		iv.	Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and
Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as Holder receives full payment pursuant to this section.
No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

		v.	Nothing herein shall limit Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Company’s failure to timely
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

		b.	Pursue and enforce all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party with respect to the Collateral
under the Uniform Commercial Code;

 

	 	c.	Make such appearance and take
such action as Holder deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Holder interest, including, but not limited to, (i) entry upon
Company property to make repairs to the Collateral and (ii) procurement of satisfactory insurance. Any amounts disbursed by Holder pursuant
to this Section, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Company secured by this Note and shall bear interest from
the date of disbursement at the annual rate stated in this Note. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Holder to incur any expense
or take any action;

 

	 	d.	Require
Company to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Company at the place to be designated by Holder which is reasonably convenient
to both parties. Holder may sell all or any part of the Collateral as a whole or in part either by public auction, private sale, or other
method of disposition. Holder may bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Collateral. Unless the Collateral threatens to
decline speedily in value, Holder shall give Company reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after
which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, and notice given at least fifteen (15) days before the time
of the sale or other disposition shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable; and 

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

8. Piggyback Registration Rights.
Company shall include on the next registration statement Company files with SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration

Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Raymond James that: 

2.1    Organization and Qualification. The Company has been duly organized as a corporation and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Company has full corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as currently conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business
and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would

financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Subsidiary” of any Person
shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other legal entity of which such Person (either above or through or together with any other subsidiary) owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the stock or
other equity interests the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation or other legal entity. For purposes hereof, “Person” means any
person, individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other nongovernmental entity or any governmental agency, court, authority or other body (whether foreign, federal, state, local or otherwise). 

2.2    Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into
and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’
and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy
underlying such laws. 
 2.3    Issuance of Securities. The Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws,
and will not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. 

  
 2 

 2.4    Registration of Securities. On or before
April 15, 2022, the Company, at its expense, shall file or cause to be filed a registration statement, or an amendment to a previously filed registration statement (as applicable, the “Shares Registration Statement”),
with the SEC to register such Shares. The Company shall use or cause to be used commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Shares Registration Statement is declared effective, keep any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities
laws which the Company determines to obtain continuously effective with respect to the Shares, and to keep the Shares Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement effective with respect to the Shares and free of any material
misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of: (i) two years from the issuance of the Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its
Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold. 

ARTICLE 3 
 RAYMOND
JAMES’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Raymond James represents and warrants to the Company, with respect to itself and its
acquisition of the Shares hereunder, that: 
 3.1    Investment Purpose. Raymond James is acquiring the
Shares for its own account and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing any of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other Persons regarding the sale or
distribution of such Shares except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (the “Securities Act”). Raymond James
will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.

 3.2    Reliance on Exemptions. Raymond James understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to
it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Raymond James’ compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Raymond James set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Raymond James to acquire the Shares. 

3.3    Information. Raymond James has had access to and the opportunity to review the SEC Documents. Neither
such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Raymond James or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect Raymond James’ right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Documents and

 3.4    Acknowledgement of Risk. Raymond James is able to
bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Shares. 

3.5    Governmental Review. Raymond James understands that no United States federal or state agency or any
other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein. 

3.6    Transfer or Resale. Raymond James understands that: 

(a)    the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and,
consequently, Raymond James may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares until such time as the Shares Registration Statement is declared effective because the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) Raymond James has delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration; or (ii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or any successor rule (“Rule 144”); and 

(b)    any sale of the Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule
144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. 

3.7    Legends. 

(a)    Raymond James understands the certificates representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Shares): 
 THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE. 

(b)    Raymond James may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any
legend from the Shares (i) in connection with any sale of the Shares pursuant to the Shares Registration Statement, once such registration statement has become effective, (ii) in connection with any sale of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144,
or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following the expiration of the one-year holding requirement under subparagraphs (b)(1)(i) and (d) thereof.
