For value received, Focus Universal Inc., a Nevada corporation headquartered at 829 Lawson Street, City of Industry, CA 91748 (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Haitao Zhang, or his assigns (the “Noteholder” and, collectively with the Company, the “Parties”), in lawful money of the United States of America, and in immediately payable funds, the principal sum of $420,000 (the “Obligation”). The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on the date which is three years from the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”).

3.       PAYMENTS. The Company hereby promises to pay to the Noteholder, in lawful money of the United States of America, and in immediately payable funds, the Obligation. The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date (unless such payment date is accelerated as provided in Section 8 hereof).

Noteholder shall deliver to the Company a written Election to Convert, a form of which is attached hereto. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the written Election to Convert, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Noteholder, and in such name or names as the Noteholder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the full number of Note Shares so purchased upon conversion of the Note.

The Note shall be convertible, at the election of the Noteholders, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that the Note is converted in respect of less than all of the Note Shares specified therein at any time prior to the Maturity Date, a new Note evidencing the remaining portion of the indebtedness shall be issued by the Company to the Noteholder.
