AUGUST 22, 2008 SUPERSEDING NOTE
FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, ACCESSKEY, INC. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, having a place
of business at 0000 X0 Xxxxxxx Xxxx XX, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx,
00000, hereby promises to pay to the order of Micro PIPE I, LLC, LLC ("Holder"),
a Minnesota Limited Liability Company, having its principal address at 000
Xxxxxx Xx., Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, the sum of $157,662.83. This
Superseding Note (this "Note") is issued in conjunction with one or more loans
to the Company for the Company's operations, and supersedes the previously
issued October 1, 2007 Convertible Note.
1. Maturity.
The amount outstanding under this Note will be due and payable at the address of
Holder or such other place as Holder may designate on September 30, 2010 (the
"Maturity Date"). No advances shall be made by Holder after the Maturity
Date.
2. Payments
of Interest and Principal. Interest on the borrowed outstanding principal
balance under this Note shall be payable quarterly, commencing on the first
banking day of each quarter, commencing on October 1, 2008, and thereafter,
until the Maturity Date (each, an "Interest Date").
3. Interest.
The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, payable
quarterly, in an amount equal to the product (X) of the following formula: X=
(Y-Y1)
x (21,021,711), where Y is the greater of (a) the closing price of the Company's
common stock on the Interest Date or (b) the average closing bid price for
Common Stock on the five trading days immediately prior to the Interest Date,
and where Y, is the pricing used for the preceding Interest Date or other
applicable prior pricing Interest Date. For purposes of the first Interest Date
computation, $0.075 shall be used as the Y,. Other than for the first Interest
Date computation, Y, shall never be less than the Y, for any preceding Interest
Date computation (no double benefit for price increases, followed by a price
decrease followed by another price increase). For purposes of this computation,
pricing shall be as reported on xxxxxxxxx.xxx on such dates (or other analogous
reporting
source agreed upon by both parties if xxxxxxxxx.xxx is no longer reporting the
Company's common stock price). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Interest for
any quarter shall not be less than 2 1/2% of the Principal balance at the
beginning of the quarter. Notwithstanding the preceding, Y shall not be greater
than 125% of the Y1.

Additionally, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a dividend by the Company, Holder shall be entitled to its share of the dividend, be it stock dividend or cash dividend, or any similar transaction or distribution by the Company (a "Dividend"), in Holder's capacity as a noteholder, to the same extent as though the Holder had shares of stock issued to Holder as an In-Kind Payment, calculated on the day of such Dividend, without regard to the last 3 paragraphs of Section 5.
4. Alternate
Methods of Payment: Subject to the conditions set forth below and customary
equity conditions (including piggyback registration rights), the Company may, at
its sole option, elect to make such payments of principal and interest under
this Note, in freely tradable shares of the Company's common stock (an "In-Kind
Payment"). In such event, each share of the Company's Common stock will be
valued at the Fixed Price (as defined in Section 5 below), as determined at the
lesser of (1) on such Interest Date, or (2) on the day the Company delivers the
shares. The Company is required to notify Holder of its election to make such
payment in shares at least ten days prior to the payment date. Pre-Payment
Option: The Company may at any time, upon ten days written notice, prepay any or
all of the outstanding principal balance. Such a prepayment does not eliminate
interest accrued to such date. Instead, interest accrued to such date shall be
calculated as though the date of such prepayment was the first banking day of a
quarter and the date of such prepayment was thus an Interest Date.
5. Optional/
In-Kind Payment. The number of shares of ACCESSKEY, INC. Common Stock that
Holder shall be entitled to receive in the event of an In-Kind Payment, shall be
equal to the greater of (a) seventy-five percent (75%) of the closing bid price
for Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Holder's receipt of
shares pursuant to such payment, or Interest Date of such payment or (b)
seventy-five percent (75%) of the average closing bid price for Common Stock on
the five trading days immediately prior to the Holder's receipt of shares
pursuant to such payment, or Interest Date of such payment (the "Fixed Price");
each share of the Company's Common stock will be valued at the Fixed Price, as
determined at the lesser of (1) the day the Company delivers the shares or (2)
the Interest Date.
Except
for pricing purposes, each In-Kind Payment shall be deemed to have been effected
on the date the shares are received by the Holder, and Holder shall be deemed to
have become on said date the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such In-Kind Payment. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall
be issued upon an In-Kind Payment.
The
Holder shall not be entitled to shares, and the Company shall not issue shares
upon an In-Kind Payment, if, and to the extent that, such In-Kind Payment would
result in beneficial ownership
by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company on such exercise or Payment date, including the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates:
2
(i) the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Payee and its
affiliates.
(ii) the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant
and/or options and/or In-Kind Payment and/or other share issuance.
For the
purposes of this provision, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate warrant
and/or option exercises and/or other share issuances of only 9.99% and aggregate
warrant and/or option exercises and/or other share issuances to the Holder may
exceed 9.99%. The Holder may void the exercise limitation described in this
Section upon 61 days prior written notice to the Company. The Holder may
allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by the
Holder shall be included in the 9.99% amount described above and which shall be
allocated to the excess above 9.99%.
In the
event that an In-Kind Payment Notice is sent by the Company, and the shares are
not issuable to the Holder because it would cause the Holder's shareholdings
(plus the shareholdings of Holder's affiliates) in the Company to exceed 9.99%,
the Company shall instead, at Holder's option, either (1) issue an interest
bearing Fixed Price Convertible Note, bearing interest at 10% per annum,
amortized monthly, except that the conversion price shall be fixed, equal to the
conversion price relative to the In-Kind Payment Notice, any share issuance
being again subject to this paragraph in such Fixed Price Secured Convertible
Note, or (2) add the principal amount of such excess to this Note, as though
such excess amount, in US Dollars were then advanced to the
Company.

outstanding hereunder and provided that this note is not in default, Holder
shall not at any time hold or maintain a short position with respect to the
securities of the Company.

Loan Document;
3

as often as occasion therefore shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such
right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of the
same.
B. Liquidated
Damages In the event that the Company fails to deliver the shares when due,
whether by Section 4 or 5, or otherwise, the number of shares otherwise due
shall increase by 5% for each month or partial month, until the Company does

remain valid, legal and enforceable in all such other respects and to such
extent as may be permissible. Any such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, but this
Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein.
