$700,000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,
Bluegate Corporation and Trilliant Technology Group, Inc. (the “Debtors”),
jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of SAI Corporation or its
assigns (the “Secured Party”), at such place as Secured Party may designate in
writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately
available funds, up to the full principal amount of $700,000.00 with interest at
the rate of 15% per annum.
Principal and interest due hereunder shall be
payable on demand. Interest payments are due
and payable monthly commencing March 1, 2008 until the outstanding
principal balance is paid in full.
This note possesses a revolving or draw
feature. Debtors shall be entitled to borrow up to the full principal amount of
the note from time to time during the term of the note. It is
agreed by Debtors that in accordance with this note, as of February 27, 2008,
Secured Party has advanced the aggregate amount of approximately
$500,000.00.
The unpaid principal balance of this
note at any time shall be the total amounts loaned or advanced hereunder by the
Secured Party less the amount of payments or prepayments of principal made
hereon by or for the account of Debtors. Each time Debtors desire to
receive an advance under this note, Debtors shall deliver a written request for
advance to Secured Party. Debtors shall give Secured Party no fewer
than one (1) business day’s notice prior to the date Debtors request for any
such advance to be made by Secured Party. Advances hereunder
may be made by the Secured Party hereof upon request therefor from Debtors and
approval of such request by the Secured Party hereof. Debtors
covenant that all advances shall be used for working capital and other
expenditures for Debtors’ business.
Debtors shall have the right to prepay
this note, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
The entire unpaid principal balance of
this note shall immediately become due and payable, at the option of Secured
Party, upon the occurrence of either of the following events of default (each,
and “event of Default”): (a) Failure by Debtors to pay all interest or principal
hereunder as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the
terms hereof, or (b) failure by Debtors to comply with any other covenant
hereunder and such failure continues for three (3) days after written notice of
such failure.
1
In the event an Event of Default
specified above shall occur, Secured Party may proceed to protect and enforce
its rights by suit in equity and/or by action at law or by other appropriate
proceedings. No delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of
any power or right under this note, or under any other instrument executed
pursuant thereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or
partial exercise of any other power or right preclude further exercise
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if an Event of Default shall occur, all payments thereafter made hereunder shall
be applied, at the option of Secured Party, first to costs of collection, and
then to principal.
It is hereby specially agreed that if
this note is placed into the hands of an attorney for collection, or if proved,
established, or collected in any court, Debtors agree to pay to Secured Party an
amount equal to all expenses incurred in enforcing or collecting this note,
including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Except for the notice expressly
provided herein, Debtors hereby waive presentment for payment, notice of
nonpayment, demand, notice of demand, protest, notice of protest, diligence in
collection, grace and without further notice hereby consents to renewals,
extensions, or partial payments either before or after maturity.
All agreements between Debtors and
Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or
oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall
the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Secured Party hereof for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the money advance to Debtors, or for the
performance or payment on any covenant or obligation contained herein, exceed
the maximum amount permissible under applicable federal or state
law.
This note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States of
America, except
that Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code governing the rights and obligations
of parties in certain revolving charge amounts, shall not apply hereto. In the
event any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way
be affected thereby.
This note cancels and
supersedes that certain Promissory Note dated November 20, 2007 between Debtor Bluegate
Corporation and Secured Party with a credit line of up to $500,000.00
with interest at the rate of 12% per annum.

existing or subsequently arising; all accounts receivable, now existing or
subsequently arising; all chattel paper, documents, and instruments related to
