E-XXX, INC.
10% Convertible Note
E-XXX, INC., a Nevada corporation (together with its successors, the
"Company"), for value received hereby promises to pay to Auxiliarius Fortunare,
LLC or his registered assigns, the principal sum of up to Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00) or, if less, the principal amount of this Note then
outstanding, on the Maturity Date to the Holder in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, and to pay interest on (each an "Interest
Payment Date") (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) each Conversion Date, as hereafter
defined, and (iii) the date the principal amount of the Convertible Notes shall
be declared to be or shall automatically become due and payable, on the
principal sum hereof outstanding in like coin or currency, at the rates per
annum set forth below. The Maturity Date shall be that date which is two (2)
years from the date of each delivery of part or all of the principal amount as
set forth below.
The Holder shall be required to deliver the principal amount under this
Note according to the following schedule:
(a) Holder shall deliver the sum of $10,000 every seven (7) days
beginning on the seventh (7th) day following the conditions precedent (each a
"Funding Day"):
(i) the effectiveness within 120 days of the Closing Date as
defined in the Agreement (and continued effectiveness) of a Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which registers the
resale of the shares of Company common stock to be received by the Holder upon
conversion of some or all of the principal amount of this Note; and
(ii) the average trading volume of the Company's common stock
during the fifteen (15) trading days preceding each Funding Day is within the
range set forth in the table attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit
II; and
(iii) the average Closing Bid Price of the Company's common
stock during the fifteen (15) trading days preceding the Funding Day is within
the range set forth in the table attached hereto and made a part hereof as
Exhibit II.
(iv) the conditions precedent set forth in (a)(ii) and

satisfied.
The interest rate shall be ten percent (10%) per annum (the "Interest
Rate") or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Past due
amounts (including interest, to the extent permitted by law) will also accrue
interest at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum or, if less, the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law, and will be payable on demand
("Default Interest"). Interest on this Convertible Note will be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) months. All payments of principal
and interest hereunder shall be made for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to

this Convertible Note, the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date shall
be added to the outstanding principal amount of this Convertible Note on such

Company may elect to pay the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date in
cash, provided it gives the registered holder written notice of such election at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date and
pays the same by such date. On each Conversion Date, interest shall be paid in
shares of Common Stock on the portion of the principal balance of the
Convertible Note then being converted. The number of shares of Common Stock
issued as interest shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of interest
due on the applicable Interest Payment Date by the Conversion Price or Default
Conversion Price then in effect.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon
conversion of this Convertible Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the

otherwise repaid) and the date of such conversion or repayment shall be
maintained on a ledger substantially in the form of Annex I attached hereto (a
-------
copy of which shall be delivered to the Company and the Escrow Agent with each
Notice of Conversion). It is specifically contemplated that the Company hereof
shall act as the calculation agent for conversions and repayments. In the event
of any dispute or discrepancies, such records maintained by the Company shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and
any assignee, by acceptance of this Convertible Note, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following a conversion of a

and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or
other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than

the Holder's account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(c) Upon receipt by the Company and Escrow Agent of a Notice of
Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the
amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Convertible Note shall be reduced
to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Company defaults on its obligations
under this Article 4, all rights with respect to the portion of this Convertible
Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive
the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided,
on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as
provided herein, the Company's obligation to issue and deliver the certificates
for shares of Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any person or any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any failure
or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the Holder
of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination,
or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Company,
and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The
date of receipt (including receipt via telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion
shall be the Conversion Date so long as it is received before 5:00 p.m., Florida
Time, on such date.
5. Miscellaneous. This Convertible Note shall be deemed to be a
-------------
contract made under the laws of the State of Florida, and for all purposes shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of said State. The
parties hereto, including all guarantors or endorsers, hereby waive presentment,
demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Convertible Note,

payment, or forbearance or other indulgence without notice. The Company hereby
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
the State of Florida and of any Florida state court for purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Convertible Note. The Company
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company hereby irrevocably
waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Convertible Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing, at the election of the Holder, any dispute between the Holder
and the Company may be arbitrated, rather than litigated in the courts, before
and in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
Company agrees to submit to and participate in any such arbitration.
The Holder of this Convertible Note by acceptance of this Convertible Note
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Convertible Note which are
