Item 1.01****Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The disclosures set forth in Items 2.03 and 3.02 are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03****Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On May 5, 2023, KeyStar Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”), entered into a Promissory Note with Excel Family Partners, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership (“Excel”) in the principal amount of $1,600,000 (the “Note”). Excel is controlled by Mr. Bruce Cassidy, our Secretary and sole member of our board of directors (the “Board”).
The Note matures on November 4, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the outstanding principal amount under the Note, along with a flat fee of $160,000 (the “Funding Fee”), is due and payable in full. We may prepay the outstanding principal amount under the Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date without any additional premium or penalty. In the event that the outstanding principal amount under the Note is paid in full prior to August 4, 2023, the amount of the Funding Fee shall automatically be reduced to a flat fee of $140,000.
In the event that the outstanding principal amount under the Note and the Funding Fee have not been paid in full by the earlier of the Maturity Date or such earlier date if there is a default hereunder and Excel properly accelerates the due date, interest shall be charged from and after such date on the principal amount remaining unpaid as of such date at a rate equivalent to the highest lawful rate or twenty-five percent (25%) per annum, whichever is less, until paid.
In connection with entering into the Note, we issued Excel a Common Stock Warrant to purchase 1,600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time through May 4, 2028, on either a cash or cashless basis. The offer, sale and issuance of the Warrant were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. Excel is acquiring the Warrant for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and it represented to us that it could bear the risks of the investment and could hold the securities for an indefinite period of time, and appropriate legends were, or will be, affixed to the Warrant upon issuance thereof. Excel represented to us that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
The foregoing summary of the Note and the Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Note and the Warrant which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, hereto and are incorporated by reference herein. You are urged to read said exhibits attached hereto in their entirety.

EXERCISE AND PAYMENT
2.1****Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, accompanied by the form of Notice of Cash Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, and by the payment to the Company, by wire transfer or by certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of the shares being purchased. If the Warrant Stock issuable under this Warrant has been automatically converted into Other Stock, this Warrant shall automatically convert into a right to purchase Other Stock, and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be divided by the number of shares of Other Stock which were received upon conversion of one share of such Warrant Stock at the time of such automatic conversion.
2.2****Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by Holder by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, accompanied by the form of Notice of Net Issue (Cashless) Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A-2. The number of shares Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise shall be that having a value equal to the net value of this Warrant, computed as of the date of surrender of this Warrant to the Company, using the following formula:
X =Y(A-B)/A
Where:
X=the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder under this Section 2.2;
2
Y=the maximum number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon cash exercise of this Warrant;
A=the fair market value per share of Warrant Stock at the date of exercise, as determined in accordance with Section 2.3, below;
B=the Warrant Exercise Price.
2.3****Fair Market Value in Net Issue Exercise. For purposes of Section 2.2, the fair market value per share of Warrant Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in good faith. In the case of Net Issue Exercise in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the fair market value per share of Warrant Stock shall be calculated by multiplying the gross offering price to the public (prior to deduction of underwriters’ discounts and expenses) of a share of Other Stock by the number of shares of Other Stock into which each outstanding share of Warrant Stock then can be converted or will be converted upon the offering.
2.4****Automatic Conversion. If Warrant Stock has been automatically converted to Other Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Stock, then this Warrant shall automatically convert into a right to purchase Other Stock, pursuant to the formulas set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above, and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to which Holder shall be entitled to purchase shall be multiplied by that number of shares of Other Stock which were received upon conversion of one share of such Warrant Stock at the time of such automatic conversion.
2.5****Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, unless the Company’s common stock is held in book-entry only form, in which case the Company’s transfer agent shall provide a statement of holdings, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be delivered to Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the remaining unexercised portion hereof shall also be issued to Holder at such time. Notwithstanding the date of the delivery of the certificate(s) for such Warrant Stock, the person in whose name the certificate(s) for such Warrant Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books are open after the date of the appropriate Notice of Exercise is received by the Company.
2.6****Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (any Other Stock receivable upon any conversion of Warrant Stock) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (excluding taxes based on the income of Holder). The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times use its best efforts to have authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of its Warrant Stock or other securities as would be required upon the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
2.7****Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof; in lieu of a fractional share upon complete exercise hereof, Holder may purchase a whole share by delivering payment equal to the appropriate portion of the then effective Warrant Exercise Price.
3
2.8****Automatic Exercise. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Warrant Stock issuable hereunder is greater than the Warrant Exercise Price, as adjusted, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Warrant Stock upon such expiration shall be the fair market value determined pursuant to Section 2.3 above. To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Company agrees to notify Holder within a reasonable period of time of the number of shares of the Company’s Warrant Stock, if any, Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.
ARTICLE III
CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS OF NUMBER OF
SHARES PURCHASABLE AND WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
3.1****Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In case of, after the Warrant Stock is determinable: (a) any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; (b) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, change or exchange of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant); or (c) any sale or transfer to another corporation of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, in each case which does not constitute a Change of Control, then, and in each such event, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant of like form, tenor and effect and which will provide that Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and purchase upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Warrant Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of one share of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such new Warrant shall be as nearly equivalent in all substantive respects as practicable to this Warrant and the adjustments provided in this Article III and the provisions of this Section 3.1, shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers.
3.2****Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company shall at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and less than fully exercised: (a) divide its Warrant Stock, the number of shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced; or (b) shall combine shares of its Warrant Stock, the number of shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be proportionately decreased and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
3.3****Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or other Securities or Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and less than fully exercised Holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company
4
by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such event, retained such shares and/or all such other additional stock during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 3.3.
3.4****Time of Adjustments to the Warrant Exercise Price. All adjustments to the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be effective as of the earlier of:
(a)the effective date of a division or combination of shares; and
(b)the record date of any action of holders of any class of the Company’s equity taken for the purpose of entitling holders of Warrant Stock to receive a distribution or dividend payable in securities of the Company, provided that such division, combination, distribution or dividend actually occurs.
3.5****Notice of Adjustments. In each case of an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, the Company, at its expense, shall cause the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to compute such adjustment and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall mail a copy of each such certificate to Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof.
3.6****Duration of Adjusted Warrant Exercise Price. Following each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, such adjusted Warrant Exercise Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price.
3.7****Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price
pursuant to this Article III, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to the nearest whole share, to the number obtained by dividing the Aggregate Exercise Price by the Warrant Exercise Price as adjusted.
ARTICLE IV
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND LOSS
4.1****Transfers. Subject to applicable law, this Warrant is transferable on the books of the Company at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws. The Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant or Warrants representing the Warrants so transferred. Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the Warrants not so transferred, at Holder’s cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder shall not be entitled to transfer a number of shares or an interest in this Warrant representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Exercise Price initially covered by this Warrant. Any transferee shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer with respect to this Warrant as the Investor.

5
the Company, that such shares are being purchased solely for Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of applicable laws, (b) sufficient information, in writing, to enable the Company to rely on exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of applicable laws, if available, with respect to such exercise, and (c) its cooperation to the Company in connection with such compliance.
4.3****Exchange. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Company for Warrants which represent, in the aggregate, Holder’s rights to purchase the number of shares of Warrant Stock at the Warrant Exercise Price, as set forth above, subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth herein; each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such portion thereof as Holder shall designate at the time of such exchange. Each new Warrant shall be identical in form and content to this Warrant, except for appropriate changes in the number of shares of Warrant Stock covered thereby and any other changes which are necessary in order to prevent the Warrant exchange from changing the respective rights and obligations of the Company and Holder as they existed immediately prior to such exchange.
4.4****Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of, this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft, or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant.

HOLDER RIGHTS

MISCELLANEOUS

6.2****Governing Laws. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws. If any provision of this Warrant is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain effective and enforceable. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Warrant, as applicable, and the remainder of this Warrant, as applicable, shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Warrant, as applicable.
6.3****Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. Subject to, and unless otherwise provided in, this Warrant, each and all of the covenants, terms, provisions, and agreements contained herein shall be binding
6
upon, and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors, executors, heirs, representatives, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.
6.4****Severability.

No amendment of or waiver of, or modification of any obligation under this Warrant will be enforceable unless set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought. Any amendment effected in accordance with this section will be binding upon all parties hereto and each of their respective successors and assigns. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provision as to that or any other instance. No waiver granted under this Warrant as to any one provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of any other provision herein or therein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.
6.6****Attorneys’ Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court (including without limitation, costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall be the party entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment. A party not entitled to recover its costs shall not be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees. No sum for attorneys’ fees shall be counted in calculating the amount of a judgment for purposes of determining if a party is entitled to recover costs or attorneys’ fees.

A-2 Promissory Note dated May 5, 2023 PROMISSORY NOTE
| $1,600,000.00 | Sarasota, Florida |
|---|---|
| Dated as of May 5, 2023 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, **** KEYSTAR CORP, a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of EXCEL FAMILY PARTNERS, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership (together with successors and assigns, “Lender”), the principal amount of One Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars $1,600,000.00), in lawful money of the United States of America (the “Loan”), together with a flat fee of $160,000.00 (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Note, the “Funding Fee”).
On the Maturity Date (defined below), the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, along with the Funding Fee, shall be due and payable in full. Payment of the outstanding principal balance, the Funding Fee and any other payment made or owed by Borrower under this Promissory Note (this “Note”) to Lender for any reason (collectively, a “Payment”) shall be made payable to Lender by wire transfer or corporate check at the address provided next to its signature below.
For purposes of this Note, the maturity date shall be November 4, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”).
In the event that the outstanding principal under this Note and the Funding Fee have not been paid in full by the earlier of the Maturity Date or such earlier date if there is a default hereunder and Lender properly accelerates the due date, interest shall be charged from and after such date on the principal amount remaining unpaid as of such date at a rate equivalent to the highest lawful rate or twenty-five percent (25%) per annum, whichever is less, until paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the interest charged exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, as amended from time to time. Lender does not intend to charge any amount of interest, monthly renewal fee or other fees or charges in the nature of interest that exceeds the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. If any payment of interest or in the nature of interest hereunder, together with all other payments of interest or in the nature of interest, would cause the foregoing interest rate limitation to be exceeded, then such excess payment shall be credited as a payment of principal unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing that Borrower wishes to have such excess sum returned, together with interest at the rate specified in Section 687.04(2), Florida Statutes, or any successor statute.
Each Payment and any prepayment by Borrower of principal or interest hereunder shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of Payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debt. If any Payment becomes due and payable on a day other than a business day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable during the extension at the annual rate specified herein for the payment of interest before or after maturity.
Unless otherwise specified herein, a Payment shall be applied by Lender first to interest and lawful charges then accrued, and then to principal, unless otherwise determined by Lender in its discretion.
This Note may be prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to the Maturity Date without any additional premium or penalty. In the event that the principal amount outstanding under this Note is paid in full prior to August 4, 2023, the amount of the Funding Fee shall automatically be reduced to a flat fee of $140,000.00.
Borrower shall be in default under this Note if:
(1)Borrower fails to pay principal, interest, or any other amount due under this Note and such failure continues beyond ten (10) days from the due date;
(2)Borrower commences any case, proceeding or other action: (i) under any existing or future Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts; or (ii) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or the Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(3)there is commenced against Borrower any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in (2) above which: (i) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or (ii) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days;
(4)there is commenced against Borrower any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which has not been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or
(5)Borrower takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in (2), (3) or (4) above.
Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies contained in this Note and any other related documents, all of the rights and remedies of a creditor. No right, power, or remedy conferred upon Lender as a creditor shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy. This Note is unsecured.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a default shall occur then Lender may declare the indebtedness owed to Lender by Borrower hereunder to be accelerated and immediately due and payable, whereupon such indebtedness, together with interest thereon (if any), shall forthwith become due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind from Lender, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and Lender may proceed to do other all things provided by law, equity, or contract to enforce its rights under such indebtedness and to collect all amounts owing to Lender.
All parties liable for any Payment agree to pay or reimburse Lender for all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection or enforcement of this Note to collect all amounts due hereunder, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender including reasonable attorneys’ fees out of court, in trial, on appeal, in bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Borrower agrees to promptly pay, indemnify, and reimburse Lender for, and hold Lender harmless against any liability for, any and all documentary stamp taxes, nonrecurring intangible taxes, or other taxes, together with any interest, penalties, or other liabilities in connection therewith, that Lender now or hereafter determines are payable with respect to this Note or the obligations evidenced by this Note; other than ordinary federal and state income taxes related to any taxable revenues received by Lender in connection with the Payment by Borrower of the principal, the Funding Fee and, if applicable, any interest that in the future accrue on this Note during periods following the Maturity Date. The foregoing obligations shall survive Payment of this Note.

All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the parties hereto, shall be deemed to have been given or made when delivered by hand, or when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the address provided next to the signatures below or such other address as may be hereafter designated in writing by one party to the other.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, excluding those laws relating to the resolution of conflicts between laws of different jurisdictions.
In any litigation in connection with or to enforce this Note, any endorsement or guaranty of this Note, or any of the other related documents, Borrower irrevocably consents to and confers personal jurisdiction on the state and federal courts located within Sarasota County, Florida, expressly waives any objections as to venue in any of such courts, and agrees that service of process may be made on Borrower by mailing a copy of the summons and complaint by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to its address set forth herein (or otherwise expressly provided in writing). Nothing contained herein shall, however, prevent Lender from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means available by applicable law.
In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect as to one or more of the parties, all remaining provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and the validity, legality, and enforceability thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby. If any such provision is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, there will be deemed added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms to such provision as is possible, that is legal, valid, and enforceable. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives any law that renders any such provision invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect.
The singular shall include the plural and any gender shall be applicable to all genders when the context permits or implies
No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. Presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, protest, notice of dishonor and all other notices are hereby waived by Borrower.
All rights and remedies of Lender under this Note and under any other related documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law or in equity, and may be pursued singularly, successively, together, and may be exercised as often as the occasion therefor shall arise. The warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements made herein and therein shall be cumulative except in the event of irreconcilable inconsistency, in which case the provisions of this Note shall control.
This Note may not be modified or amended nor shall any provision of it be waived except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom such action is to be enforced.
This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no rights or obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Lender. In the event Lender transfers or assigns its obligations hereunder, Lender shall be relieved of all liability therefor.
