5.    CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY

		
	A.
	The Consultant acknowledges that, as a former employee of Tupperware Brands as of the Effective Date, she has knowledge of, and Tupperware Brands shall also, in its discretion, provide to the Consultant, certain Confidential Information.

		
	B.
	The Consultant acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information could cause substantial damage to Tupperware Brands and its related companies. The Consultant therefore agrees not to disclose or use the Confidential Information other than as expressly authorized by Tupperware Brands, and to take all necessary measures (during and after the Term) to prevent the Confidential Information from being disclosed, accessed or used in any manner whatsoever, without prior written authorization from Tupperware Brands, or the theft or loss of the Confidential Information.

	E.
	Upon the request of Tupperware Brands at any time, and in any event immediately after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Consultant will promptly return to Tupperware Brands all Confidential Information in the Consultant’s possession or control, including without limitation, all written material containing Confidential Information, and any copies thereof (including partial copies).

	H.
	IMPORTANT: Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information by the Consultant as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order. The Consultant shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of Tupperware Brands (its Chief Legal Officer). Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts the Consultant from initiating communications directly with, responding to an inquiry from, or providing testimony before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal or state regulatory authority. The Consultant understands that this Agreement does not limit the Consultant’s right to receive an award for information provided to any government agencies, nor does it limit the Consultant’s ability to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including, under applicable United States federal law, (i) disclosing in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) disclosing trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

	September 1, 2018

 
The undersigned, MakingORG, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay to Junhan Xie (the “Holder”), at maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Holder may designate, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000.00) (the "Principal Amount"), together with interest on the then unpaid Principal Amount, at the rate of ten percent (12%) per annum. This Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Promissory Note, amends and restates the September 1, 2016 12% Convertible Promissory Note, with no additional consideration being paid to the Company.
 
1. Interest. Interest on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time shall accrue, in arrears, at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, commencing as of September 1, 2016 and shall be payable in installments of $12,000 in cash or shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the rate of $3.50 per share, commencing of March 1, 2017 and every six months thereafter continuing until the Principal Amount of this Note is paid in full.
 
2. Maturity. Unless the Holder duly exercises his right of conversion under this Note, the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, plus all unpaid accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable in cash or Common Stock on September 1, 2019.
 
3. Conversion. At the election of the Holder given at any time prior to payment in full of this Note, the Principal Amount of, together with accrued interest on, this Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the rate of one share for each $3.50 of principal and/or interest so converted.
 
4. Adjustment of Number of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. In case the Company shall, after the date of issuance of this Note: (i) pay a stock dividend or make a distribution in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any other class); (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which the Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this Note been converted immediately prior thereto, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall thereafter be subject to further adjustment pursuant to this Section 4. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4 shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution, and shall become effective immediately upon the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b) The Company shall have the right to prepay this Note in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium. All prepayments shall first be applied to any accrued and outstanding interest on this Note and then to the principal of this Note.
