CORPORATE LOAN AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
This Corporate Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) is made
and entered into by and between Xxxxxxxxxx’x Xxxx-Neath Funeral Homes,
Crematorium and Cemeteries, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“Lender”), and
International Star, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”). For
the mutual covenants and promises herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged as
received between the parties, the parties have agreed as follows:
1.
|
Lender
hereby agrees to and does hereby lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to
and does hereby borrow from Lender, a sum of up to Two Hundred Thousand
U.S. Dollars ($200,000) principal amount (the “Total Credit
Amount”), evidenced by a corporate promissory note, dated as of the
date hereof (the “Note”), on the
following terms and conditions (the “Credit”).
|
2.
|
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow the
funds as needed from a line of credit provided by Lender. As
such, Lender agrees to make loans (each a “Loan”) to
Borrower from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (defined below) in
such amounts as requested in writing by Borrower not to exceed in the
aggregate the Total Credit Amount. Borrower agrees to repay the
aggregate amount of funds advanced pursuant to the Loans, as indicated by
the records of Lender, together with any accrued and unpaid simple
interest thereon payable in arrears (collectively, the “Total Principal and
Interest”), on or before 120 days after the date hereof (the “Maturity
Date”). Simple interest shall accrue on each Loan
beginning on the date of such Loan at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum; provided, however, that
such rate of interest shall increase to eighteen percent (18%) per annum,
effective as of the Maturity Date, and such interest shall continue to
accrue after the Maturity Date, for any principal amount not paid in full
within five (5) days after the Maturity Date. There is no
penalty to Borrower if Borrower pays the Total Principal and Interest, or
any portion thereof, prior to the Maturity
Date.
|
3.
|
Payment
of the Total Principal and Interest shall be made by Borrower, at
Borrower’s election, in cash or shares of common stock of Borrower (“Common Stock”)
or any combination of cash and Common Stock. Any shares of
Common Stock issued to Lender in satisfaction of the Credit shall be
issued at a conversion rate per share (the “Conversion
Rate”) equal to the closing price per share of the Common Stock as
listed on a nationally recognized securities trading market on the earlier
of the date of issuance or the Maturity Date. If Borrower’s
Common Stock is not publicly traded at such date, the Conversion Rate
shall be equal to the closing price per share of the Common Stock as
listed on a nationally recognized securities trading market on the final
day of trading of the Common Stock prior to such
date.
|
4.
|
The
Note is assignable in whole or in part by Lender upon reasonable written
notice to Borrower; provided that
the assignee meets the criteria of an “accredited investor,” as defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or
Borrower otherwise provides written consent prior to such
assignment.
|
5.
|
Borrower
hereby represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has all the
authority necessary to enter into this Agreement, and the officer(s)
signing this Agreement and the Note on behalf of Borrower have all of the
necessary corporate authority to bind Borrower to the terms and conditions
of performance recited herein. Borrower further represents and
warrants that any shares of Common Stock issued to Lender pursuant to this
Agreement will be duly authorized, validly issued and non-assessable at
the time of such issuance.
|
6.

Lender
hereby represents and warrants to Borrower that Lender has all the
authority necessary to enter into this Agreement, and the officer(s)
signing this Agreement on behalf of Lender have all of the necessary
corporate authority to bind Lender to the terms and conditions of
performance recited herein. Lender acknowledges that any shares
of Common Stock issued to Lender pursuant to this Agreement will be issued
by Borrower pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, and
an exemption or exception from registration under the securities laws of
the state in which the Lender then principally resides. Lender
further understands that such shares will be restricted and may not be
sold by Lender without registration under the securities laws or an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to Borrower that an exemption is
available.
