QUALITY INDUSTRIAL CORP.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

WHEREAS on December 20, 2023, RB Capital Partners, Inc., with its offices at 2856 Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037 (the “Holder”) loaned funds totaling, $ 100,000.00 to Quality Industrial Corp., a Nevada corporation with its office at 315 Montgomery Street; San Francisco, CA 94104 (the “Company”). Payment for the loan was made directly to the Company in the form of a Wire Transfer.

WHEREAS the Company and Holder further agreed that such services provided by the Holder to the Company would be evidenced in a convertible note, which convertible note would be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 in accordance with Section 3 below;

NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that for and in consideration of the mutual premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties covenant and agree each with the other as follows:

1. Principal and Interest.

1.1 The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), which amount represents the amount owed to Holder as of December 20, 2023.

1.2 This Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) shall bear ten percent (10%) interest per annum. The Note is for a period of (12) months and cannot be converted until (6) months from the date first written above has passed.

1.3 Upon payment in full of the principal, this Note shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

1.4 The principal under this Note shall be payable at the principal office of the Company and shall be forwarded to the address of the Holder hereof as such Holder shall from time to time designate.

2. Attorney’s Fees. If the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof is collected in bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, the Company agrees to pay, in addition to the principal payable hereunder, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Holder.

3. Conversion.

3.1 Voluntary Conversion. The Holder shall have the right, exercisable in whole or in part, to convert the outstanding principal into a number of fully paid and non-assessable whole shares of the Company’s $0.001 Par Value common stock (“Common Stock”) determined in accordance with Section 3.2 below.

3.2 Shares Issuable. The number of whole shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be voluntarily converted (the “Conversion Shares”) shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount borrowed hereunder by $1.00 (the “Note Conversion Price”); 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 its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of Maker subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) 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 the beneficial ownership by Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the Note Conversion Price. The Term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus, (2) at the Company’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rate provided in this Note to the conversion date, provided; however, that the Company shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash.

3.3 Notice and Conversion Procedures. After receipt of demand for repayment, the Company agrees to give the Holder notice at least five (5) business days prior to the time that the Company repays this Note. If the Holder elects to convert this Note, the Holder shall provide the Company with a written notice of conversion setting forth the amount to be converted. The notice must be delivered to the Company together with this Note. Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of such notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder certificate(s) for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and, if the entire principal amount was not so converted, a new note representing such balance.

3.4 Other Conversion Provisions.

(a) Adjustment of Note Conversion Price. In the event the Company shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a reverse stock split and subdivision of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Note Conversion Price shall forthwith be unaffected. In the event the Company shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a forward stock split and subdivision of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Note Conversion Price shall forthwith be unaffected.

(b) Common Stock Defined. Whenever reference is made in this Note to the shares of Common Stock, the term “Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company authorized as of the date hereof, and any other class of stock ranking on a parity with such Common Stock. Shares issuable upon conversion hereof shall include only shares of Common Stock of the Company.

3.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal hereunder that is not so converted.

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company represents, warrants and covenants with the Holder as follows:

(a) Authorization; Enforceability. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Note and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder has been taken, and this Note constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
