PROMISSORY NOTE
---------------
$200,000.00 July 1, 1998
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Re-Track USA, Inc., a New York Corporation,
hereinafter referred to as "Maker", promises to pay to the order of XXXXX XXXXX,
OR HIS DESIGNEE, hereinafter called "Payee", at 0000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the Payee or any other holder
hereof may designate, the principal sum of two hundred thousand Dollars
($200,000.00), in lawful money of the United States of America, together with
interest on the whole of the principal amount hereof from time to time remaining
unpaid from the date hereof until maturity at a per-annum rate of interest
(based on 360 days, and for the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the
lesser of (a) twelve percent (12.0%) per annum, or (b) the "Maximum Legal Rate
of Interest" (as hereinafter defined).
The term of this Note is nine (9) months. Privilege is reserved to
prepay at any time, without premium or fee, the entire indebtedness or any part
hereof. At the end of the term of this Note, the entire remaining balance of
principal and interest due and owing hereunder, if any, shall be due and
payable.
This Note, to the extent of the full face amount hereof, evidences the
indebtedness of the Maker to Payee by virtue of monies loaned to the Maker at
Maker's special instance and request, and the payment hereof is secured by the
following:
All Syringe technology, including all patents and patent
applications listed on Exhibit 1.
All past-due principal and interest on this Note shall bear interest
from the date it is due until the date of payment at the Maximum Legal Rate of
Interest.
It is expressly understood, however, that nothing contained in the
Security Agreement, executed herewith, any other agreement, instrument or
document executed by Maker, or otherwise, shall affect or impair the right,
which is unconditional and absolute, of the holder hereof to enforce payment of
all sums due under this Note at or after maturity, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, or shall affect the Obligation of Maker, which is also unconditional
and absolute, to pay the sums payable under this Note in accordance with its
terms.
As used herein, the term "Maximum Legal Rate of Interest" shall mean
and refer to the maximum rate of non-usurious interest, if any, that Payee may
from time to time charge Maker and in regard to which Maker would be prevented
from successfully raising the claim or defense of usury under applicable state
or federal law as now, or to the extent permitted by law, as may hereafter be in
effect (said law permitting the highest rate being herein referred to as the
"Interest Law"). Unless changed in accordance with law, the applicable interest
rate ceiling under Texas law shall be the weekly (indicated) rate ceiling, from
time to time in effect, as provided in Article 5069-1.04 of the Texas Revised
Civil Statutes, as amended. It is the intention of Maker and Payee to conform
strictly to the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. Accordingly,
it is agreed that notwithstanding any provision contained herein, or in any
document securing the payment hereof, or in any document otherwise relating
-1-
thereto (Security Instruments), the aggregate of all interest and any other
charges or consideration constituting interest under applicable Interest Law
that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Note, or
under any of the Security Instruments or otherwise in connection with this loan
transaction, shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest
allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. If any excess
of interest in such respect is provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so
provided for, in this Note or in any of the Security Instruments, then in such
event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither
Maker nor Maker's legal representatives, successors or assigns or any other
party liable for the payment of this Note shall be obligated to pay the amount
of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount
allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, (c) any excess
shall be deemed a mistake and canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid,
shall be credited on this Note by Payee (or if this Note shall have been paid in
full, refunded to Maker) and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be
automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest allowed
under such Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by Courts of appropriate
jurisdiction. All sums paid or agreed to be paid by the Payee for the use,
forbearance or detention of the indebtedness represented hereby shall, to the
extent permitted by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of this Note.
If default shall be made in the payment of principal or interest on
this Note, as the same becomes due and payable, or if there is a default in any
of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions set forth in any
instrument or document given to secure this Note or relating to this Note, or
should Maker or any endorser, surety or guarantor hereof become insolvent or
commit an act of bankruptcy or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or authorize the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or should a
receiver of any of the property of Maker be appointed, or should involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings be filed or threatened against Maker or any endorser,
surety or guarantor hereof, then in any of such events, Payee or any other
holder hereof may, at its option, and without notice, declare the entirety of
this Note and any other note or notes executed by Maker and held by Payee or any
other holder hereof, together with all accrued but unpaid interest hereof and
thereon, immediately due and payable and to foreclose all liens securing payment
of same.
If this Note is not paid at maturity, however such maturity may be
brought about, and same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or
if collected by suit or through bankruptcy, probate, receivership or other legal
or judicial proceedings, the Maker hereof agrees to pay an additional amount of
ten percent (10%) upon the principal and interest hereof then owing as costs of
collection and attorney's fees, or such other amount as may be reasonable.
-2-
This Note is executed under and shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Texas, except to the extent that limitations as to interest rate
charges shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and of the United
States of America.

reason thereof. Xxxxx shall be entitled to approve the form and content of said
stock option.

respect to said option shares in the event of an initial public offering or

sold by the licensee ("10% ROYALTY"). The 10% Royalty will be due and payable
annually within 60 days after the end of each calendar year during the first
through the fifth years of the initial term, and thereafter (including the
renewal terms), the 10% Royalty will be due and payable semi-annually within 60
days after the end of each semi-annual calendar year. The licensee will furnish
and verify to Re-Track an annual statement of sales. If the annual statement
differs from the estimated payments, the licensee and Re-Track will promptly
adjust any incorrect 10% Royalty payments previously made by the licensee to
Re-Track. The scope of the License will extend to all uses for the Syringe.
Re-Track will indemnity, defend and hold harmless the licensee from any claims
of patent infringement or license rights made by third parties against licensee.
Re-Track will make available to the licensee all modifications, enhancements and
improvements made or caused to be made by Re-Track to all patents for the
Syringe which are owned by Re-Track.
6. Re-Track will grant to the licensee an option to renew and extend
the term of the License perpetually and continuously thereafter on an annual
basis so long as the license is not in default of its obligations under the
license at the time of the exercise by the licensee of the relevant option. If
the licensee fails to exercise its option to renew and extend the term at least
30 days prior to the next expiry date of the license, the license will terminate
on said expiry date. The option will be exercisable upon the payment of an
annual fee of $25,000 plus the 10% Royalty for each Syringe sold by the license
during such renewal form.
7. The License will be fully transferable by the licensee subject to
Re-Track's approval of the transferee PROVIDED such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by Re-Track. Re-Track will
continue to be entitled to receive from the licensee the 10% Royalty following
any such transfer but will not be entitled to any additional royalty by reason
of any such transfer by the licensee PROVIDED the licensee will pay to Re-Track
20% of all front-end fees paid by the transferee to the licensee related to such
transfer.

8. Re-Track will provide, or cause to be provided, to the licensee at
Re-Track's sole cost, expense and risk all technical data, information and other
materials that may be necessary or required by the licensee in order to
manufacture, produce, distribute, and sell the Syringe.
9. Re-Track may, at its option, purchase from the licensee up to 10% of
all Syringes which are manufactured annually by the licensee, on a
non-cumulative basis, at the actual cost to manufacture the Syringe plus 7%
together with (a) all sales or similar tax applicable thereto, (b) all special
cost to package the Syringes according to Re-Track's specifications, and (c) all
freight and shipment charges. Re-Track's rights granted under this paragraph are
non-transferable, directly or indirectly, without the licensee's prior written
consent and Re-Track will covenant and agree not to market, sell or distribute
the Syringes in the Territories.
10. The parties agree to close the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement on or before April 1, 1999. Each of the parties agrees to act in good
faith to negotiate and complete the terms of the written agreement evidencing
such license and all rights described herein, and each agrees not to
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its approval on any terms or
provisions of such agreement.
11. The parties acknowledge that the failure of any party to fulfill
its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will damage the
other parties in a way that could not be adequately compensated by monetary
damages. Each of the parties therefore agrees that if it fails or refuses to
perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting
parties shall be entitled to obtain specific performance by any defaulting party
of its covenants and obligations hereunder. The rights and remedies granted in
this Agreement in the event of default by any party are cumulative, and the
exercise of such rights and remedies shall be without prejudice to the
enforcement of any other right or remedy authorized by law or this Agreement.
12. The waiver by any party of a breach or violation of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach thereof.

subassemblies or other finished products) employing the Syringe Technology
and/or the Patents as defined above and in the License Agreement (the "RETRACK
PRODUCT"). As used herein, the terms "GROSS SALES" shall mean all revenue
derived from the sale by Retrack of any such Retrack Product which employs or
-5-
incorporates any or all of the Syringe Technology and/or the Patents and all
technological advancements or characteristics associated therewith less any (A)
sales or excise taxes paid directly or indirectly by Retrack; (B) any reasonable
and customary shipping costs incurred by Retrack in connection with such sales;

or other residual income actually received by Retrack from such license.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Retrack covenants and agrees that it will not
grant a license, or any other purported right or interest to manufacture,

territories granted to Xxxxx or the Trust arising out of the License Agreement
without first obtaining Xxxxx'x and the Trust's prior written consent.
(iv) The Royalty payable hereunder shall be perpetual and
shall be payable quarterly in arrears by Retrack to the Trust during each of
Retrack's fiscal years and shall be due within forty-five (45) days of the
expiration of each such fiscal quarter following the effective date hereof.
Within forty-five 45 days of the end of each respective accounting period
Retrack shall furnish the Trust with a written statement, certified by a duly
authorized representative of Retrack, stating the value of the Retrack Products
sold in the preceding accounting period and setting forth the essential
information concerning the sales by Retrack of Retrack Product subject to the
Royalty and upon which the Royalty is calculated. Such information shall include
the gross sales price for each Retrack Product sold during such accounting
period, the quantity of Retract Products sold, the total amount of consideration
and royalties received by Retrack during such accounting period from any
licensee as may be permitted as provided above and all other facts necessary to
facilitate verification of the calculation of the Royalty payable pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. Payment of the Royalty owed to the Trust shall
accompany each such statement.
(v) Retrack agrees that it will at all times keep complete,
true and correct books of account containing a current record of sales and
royalties received and other data in sufficient detail to enable the Royalty
payable under this Agreement to be computed and verified. Retrack further agrees

have access for inspection of said books of account at Retrack's principal place
of business at reasonable intervals during business hours. The cost of such
independent certified public accountant shall be borne by the Trust.
(vi) All Royalties due hereunder shall be paid in United
States Dollars. All royalties for an accounting period computed in other
currencies shall be converted into United States Dollars at the buying rate for
the transfer of such other currencies to United States Dollars as quoted by the
Chase Manhattan Bank on the last day of such accounting period, or the business
day thereafter if such last day shall be a Sunday or a holiday.
-6-
(vii) In the event any national government imposes any taxes
on any part of the payments required hereunder by Retrack to the Trust and
requests Retrack to withhold taxes from such payment, Retrack may deduct such
taxes from such payments. Tax receipts indicating payments or withholding of
taxes on behalf of the Trust shall be promptly submitted to the Trust. Retrack
shall cooperate with the Trust in a determination of the propriety of imposition
of any such tax.
(viii) In the event any national government imposes any
exchange restriction prohibiting payments as required under this Agreement, an
account in the name of the Trust shall be established in a financial institution
of the Trust's choice in the country of such national government and all moneys
due the Trust shall be paid into such account, or at the Trust's election,
payment shall be made to any account designated by the Trust that complies with
such restriction.
(ix) Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the
contrary, Retrack's right to manufacture, produce, distribute and sell Retrack
Products or other hypodermic syringes employing the Syringe Technology and or
the Patents shall not infringe upon Xxxxx'x or the Trusts right to manufacture,
produce, distribute and sell such hypodermic syringes as contemplated and
authorized pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement and within the
Geographic Territories defined therein. Further, Retrack and Xxxxx each
covenants and agrees that for so long as the License Agreement remains in effect
pursuant to its terms and conditions or pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Retrack and Xxxxx shall not compete or interfere with such
rights held by Xxxxx or the Trust nor seek to preclude or otherwise impede
Xxxxx'x or the Trust's use and enjoyment of the Syringe Technology and Patents
as therein provided.
(c) In the event of the sale of Retrack, all or substantially all of
Retrack's assets, or the Syringe Technology or the Patents, Retrack shall pay to
the Trust six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds and all other consideration for
such sale excluding any and all reasonable and customary commissions and closing
costs associated with sale. Retrack and Xxxxx each covenants and agrees not to
sell or otherwise transfer or convey Retrack or any of its assets including the
Syringe Technology and the Patents except to a BONA FIDE third party purchaser
in an arm's length transaction without the prior express written consent of
Xxxxx and the Trust.
(d) THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PARAGRAPHS 4(B) AND 4(C)-ROYALTIES-
SHALL BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE WITH THE LICENSE AGREEMENT THAT IN NO CASE SHALL
XXXXX AND/OR THE TRUST BE ENTITLED TO BOTH A LICENSE AGREEMENT AND A ROYALTY.

Agreement, Xxxxx covenants and agrees to endorse Xxxxx for membership on the

Xxxxx covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Xxxxx any and all
instruments including, without limitation, proxy statements affecting all of
Kelly's shares of Retrack stock reasonably necessary to accomplish the purpose
and intent of this provision. As further inducement for Xxxxx to execute this
