BRIDGE LOAN AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.5
This Bridge Loan Agreement is made as of January 28, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) between S3 Investment Company, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company” or “SIVC”), and the investors listed on the SCHEDULE OF INVESTORS attached hereto (the “Investors”).
The Company is currently in need of funds to help finance its operations until the closing of its next round of financing, but will not be able to complete any such transaction without an immediate infusion of short-term working capital. In order to provide for this need, the Investors and the Company are now entering into a bridge loan in the aggregate amount of up to $600,000 (the “Commitment Amount”), and related transactions, on the terms of this Agreement.
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, it is agreed as follows:
1. Initial Bridge Transaction.
Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, each Investor will deliver to the Company funds equal to the "Initial Loan Amount" listed on the Schedule of Investors. Upon receipt of the funds, the Company will issue to each Investor a Senior Promissory Note in the form attached as Exhibit A (which, with any notes on substantially the same terms that may be issued to any or all of the Investors, are herein called the “Senior Notes”), in a principal amount equal to the "Initial Loan Amount" listed on the Schedule of Investors. The Investors may, but are under no obligation to, invest additional amounts during each Additional Closing (as defined below) and pursuant to Section 2.2 below.
2. Closing(s).

At the Closing, each Investor will deliver to the Company payment in full for the Senior Note in the amount set forth opposite such Investor’s name listed on the Schedule of Investors, which such Investor agrees to purchase at the Closing by (i) a check payable to the Company’s order, (ii) wire transfer of funds to the Company, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Investor a duly executed Senior Note in the principal amount set forth opposite such Investor’s name on the Schedule of Investors.

SENIOR PROMISSORY NOTE
S3 Investment Company, Inc.
$____[fill in principal amount] ___ [fill in issue date], 2008
S3 Investment Company, Inc., a California corporation ("Maker"), hereby
promises to pay to ----------[fill in Investor name]------------------------------- ("Holder"),
at --------------[fill in Investor address]------------------------------- or at such other address
as may be specified by Holder, the principal sum of --------[ fill in principal amount] --- Thousand Dollars ($ ----[ fill in principal amount] ----,000), together with interest as described below, in lawful money of the United States of America.
Interest. The principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Interest shall be paid in monthly installments of Maker’s common stock (“Common Stock”), commencing on the first day of the month following the issuance of this Note with all unpaid and accrued interest being due and payable on January 28, 2009. The amount of Common Stock to be issued will be calculated based on 60% of the monthly closing bid price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of such month and will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Holder, at its discretion, may defer receipt of such shares of Common Stock until such time as its total holdings would not exceed 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Maker.
Default Interest. During any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Maker shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
Listing Default. In addition to the foregoing, should Maker not be listed on the OTC BB within 180 days of Closing, Maker shall pay to Holder each month until such listing has been achieved as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, in the form of an additional note substantially in the form of this Note, in an aggregate principal amount of 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreement among Maker, Holder and certain other investors (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) for any securities of Maker then held by such Holder.
1
Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in full, but not in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Note by providing the Holder with three (3) days’ advance written notice.
Voluntary Conversion. The Holder has the right, at the Holder’s option, prior to the repayment of the outstanding balance under the Note by Maker, to convert such outstanding balance of this Note, into Common Stock of the Maker at a 60% discount to the lowest daily closing bid price of the Common Stock during the 5 trading days prior to the conversion date, but in no event less than $0.0006 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Conversion shall occur only upon surrender of this Note for conversion at the principal offices of Maker, accompanied by written notice of election to convert. The Holder, in its sole discretion, shall be able to convert this Note into an amount that would result in the Holder beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Maker. Alternatively, also at the Holder’s discretion, Holder may elect to defer receipt of stock converted until such time as it does not exceed 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of SIVC.
Acceleration. Upon failure of Maker to pay any installment in full when due, Holder may, by notice to Maker, accelerate the obligation of Maker to pay the entire balance of this Note plus 100% of the principal amount of this Note, and upon such acceleration there shall be due to Holder such amount as would be due if the Note had been prepaid in accordance with the preceding paragraph on the date notice of acceleration was given by Holder.
Priority. The principal amount of this Note is "Senior Indebtedness" as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement. As between this Note, on the one hand, and the other senior promissory notes issued by Maker to the other investors under the Bridge Loan Agreement, on the other hand, the notes shall rank equally without preference or priority of any kind over one another, and all payments on account of principal and interest with respect to any of the notes shall be applied ratably and proportionately on all outstanding notes on the basis of the original principal amount of outstanding notes.
Transfer. This Note is registered on the books of Maker and is transferable only by surrender thereof at the principal office of Maker, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer executed by the registered Holder of this Note. Payment of or on account of principal and interest on this Note shall be made only to or upon the order in writing of the registered Holder.
Lawful Payment. The provisions of this Note and of all agreements now or hereafter existing between Maker and Holder are hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the sums evidenced by this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatever the performance or fulfillment of any provision of this Note, or of any other agreement between Maker and Holder, should involve or purport to require any payment in excess of the limit prescribed by law, then the obligation to be performed or fulfilled is hereby reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstance whatever Holder should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, then the amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of principal (or, at Maker's option, be paid over to Maker) and shall not be counted as interest.
2
Adjustment Provisions. The number and character of shares of Common Stock payable as interest on this Note and issuable upon conversion of this Note (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon conversion of this Note) and the Conversion Price therefore, are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events between the date this Note is issued and the date it is converted. Upon each adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price pursuant to this Note outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price shall thereafter evidence the right to receive upon payment of the adjusted Conversion Price that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained from the following formula:
N’
=
N
x
E
----
E’
where:
N’
=
the adjusted number of shares issuable upon conversion by payment of the adjusted Conversion Price.
N
=
the number or shares previously issuable upon conversion by payment of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment.
E’
=
the adjusted Conversion Price.
E
=
the Conversion Price prior to adjustment.
Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc. The Conversion Price of this Note and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon conversion of this Note) shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities).
Adjustment for Rights Issue. If Maker distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock, in either case, at a price per share less than the market price per share, the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
O
+
N x P
----------
E’
=
E
x
M
-----------------------
O + N
where:
E’
=
the adjusted Conversion Price.
E
=
the then current Conversion Price.
O
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date.
N
=
the number of shares of additional Common Stock issued pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.
P
=
the price per share of the additional shares of Common Stock.
M
=
the market value per share of Common Stock on the record date.
3
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the rights, options or warrants. If at the end of the period during which such rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants shall have been exercised, the applicable Conversion Price shall be promptly readjusted to what it would have been if “N” in the above formula had been the number of shares actually issued.
Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In case Maker shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the capital stock that is payable in (a) securities of Maker, or (b) assets (other than cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of Maker to which the
Holder would have been entitled upon such date if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note).
Conversion of Stock. In case all the authorized Common Stock of Maker is convened, pursuant to Maker’s Certificate of Incorporation, into Common Stock or other securities or property. or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon conversion of this Note at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “Former Number of Shares of Common Stock”), the stock and other securities and property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had converted this Note with respect to the Former Number of Shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note).
Adjustment for Common Stock Issue. If Maker issues shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price per share on the date Maker fixes the offering price of such additional shares, the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
P
------
E’
=
E
x
O
+
E
-----------------
A
where:
E’
=
the adjusted Conversion Price.
E
=
the then current Conversion Price.
O
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares.
P
=
the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such additional shares.
A
=
the number of shares outstanding of Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.
4
Adjustment for Convertible Securities Issue. If Maker issues any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock for a consideration per share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities less than the Conversion Price per share on the date of issuance of such securities or on the date Maker fixes the offering price of such securities, the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
P
------
O
+
E
E’
=
E
x
----------------
O
+
D
where:
E’
=
the adjusted Conversion Price.
E
=
the then current Conversion Price.
O
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities.
P
=
the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such securities.
D
=
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion, exchange or exercise rate.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.
