PROMISSORY NOTE

US$2,000,000 Date: December 6, 2022

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BIMI International Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay as provided herein to Xx. Xxx Xxxxx (the “Holder”), a citizen of Vanuatu, the principal sum of $2,000,000 together with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided herein.

1. Maturity.  The term of the Note shall be the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (a) the first (1st) anniversary hereof or (b) such earlier date as the Note may be required to be paid, by acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”).

2. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the rate of 6% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the date hereof until the Note is paid in full.   Interest shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360-day year and shall be payable together with payments of principal.

3. Payment. The outstanding accrued, but unpaid, interest and principal balance due under the Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, payments shall be due on the next Business Day. Payments hereunder shall be made by the Company through the deposit of immediately available cash in the amount of such principal and accrued interest in a bank account designated by the Holder. Upon such deposit, all obligations under this Note will have been performed and discharged in full. For purposes of the Note, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York are authorized or required by law to close.  

4. Conversion of Note. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, seven (7) Business Days before the Maturity Date, the Holder may, through the delivery of a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company, elect to, in lieu of receiving repayment of the Note in cash, convert the aggregate amount of the outstanding accrued, but unpaid, interest and principal balance due through the Maturity Date under the Note into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $0.40. The Company shall issue the Common Stock to the Holder (the “Common Stock Issuance”) pursuant to the Conversion Notice within three (3) Business Days after the Maturity Date; provided, however, if the Common Stock Issuance requires the approval of the stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders’ Approval”), the Company shall cause a meeting of the stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”), to be held within six (6) months from receiving the Conversion Notice, soliciting each stockholder’s affirmative vote for approval of the Common Stock Issuance, and to issue the Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to the Conversion Notice within three (3) Business Days after receiving the Stockholders’ Approval. Upon completion of the Common Stock Issuance, all obligations under this Note will have been performed and discharged in full. In the event the Stockholders’ Approval is required, interest shall continue to accrue until the completion of the Common Stock Issuance. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholders’ Approval, if required, is not obtained within six (6) months after the delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held semi-annually thereafter until such Stockholders’ Approval is obtained; provided, however, that the Holder may revoke the Conversion Notice if the Stockholders’ Approval has not been obtained two (2) years after the delivery of the Conversion Notice, in which case the Company shall immediately pay the Holder the principal balance due under the Note plus interest accrued through the date of the full payment of the Note.5. Pre-Payment. The Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the term of the Note.  There will be no penalty for any pre-payment of the Note. In the event of a prepayment, the Holder shall have the right to convert the amount of pre-payment into shares of Common Stock.

6. Presentment; Demand. The Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or notice of dishonor and protest of this Note.

7. Accelerated Repayment. The Notes shall become immediately repayable at par together with any accrued interest, if applicable, on the happening at any time of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”):

(a) if the Company ceases or threatens to cease carrying on (a) its business or (b) a part of its business which is material to the group of companies comprising the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

(b) if the Company is, or is adjudicated, found to be, becomes or is deemed to become insolvent or stops or suspends payment of its debts or is (or is deemed to be) unable to or admits inability to pay its debts as they fall due or proposes or makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors;

(c) if any order is made by any competent court or any effective resolution is passed for the winding up or dissolution of or for the appointment of a liquidator to the Company; or

(d) if a receiver or trustee is appointed over the whole or any substantial part of the undertaking, property or assets of the Company or distress or other process is levied or enforced upon any of the assets, rights or revenues of the Company and any such action is not lifted or discharged within 21 (twenty-one) days.
