Section 3.4 Full Disclosure. The Financial Statements do not, nor does this Agreement, nor any written statement furnished by the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or the Note, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading.

To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to Purchaser under the Note or Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 6.16 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Note, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company hereunder and thereunder for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Note from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Note, such excess shall be applied by Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at Purchaser’s election.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ELANDIA, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Maker”), with its principal address at 0000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, unconditionally promises to pay to the order of STANFORD INTERNATIONAL BANK LTD. (the “Payee”), having an office at Xx. 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xx. Xxxx’s, Antigua, West Indies, the principal amount of TWO MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($2,300,000.00) DOLLARS, or so much thereof as the Payee advances to the Maker, pursuant hereto, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding under this promissory note (this “Note”), at the rate of eight percent (8.00%) per annum, compounding on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed from the date hereof through, until and including December 31, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”) at which time the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest shall become due and payable, if the same had not become due and payable prior to said date, or unless the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Maker’s option to extend set forth herein below. Interest payments on this Note shall be payable quarterly on the first business day of each quarter, commencing on April 1, 2006. The principal amount of this Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be payable in one balloon payment on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be immediately due and payable upon the consummation of any equity investment or subordinated debt financing transaction resulting in gross proceeds to the Maker of at least $8.0 million.

Advances under this Note shall be made by the Payee to the Maker as follows: (a) $500,000 on the date hereof; (b) $300,000 on or prior to February 28, 2006; (c) $400,000 on or prior to March 31, 2006; (d) $500,000 on or prior to June 30, 2006; (e) $300,000 on or prior to September 30, 2006; and (f) $300,000 on or prior to December 31, 2006.

All payments of interest and of principal shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. Each payment hereunder shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest and then in reduction of the outstanding principal balance, unless other costs and charges are payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, in which event, in Payee’s sole discretion, such costs and charges shall first be paid. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with Florida law (the “Applicable Law”). This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.

Maker agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Payee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs and expenses, in collecting any sums due under this Note or in enforcing the terms and conditions of the Note, whether for services incurred in collection, litigation proceedings at pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise.

Any notice, consent, approval or communication given pursuant to the provisions of this Note shall (except where otherwise permitted by this Note) be in writing and shall be (a) delivered by hand, (b) mailed by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (c) delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier, U.S. Post Office Express Mail, or similar overnight courier which delivers only upon signed receipt of the addressee. The time of the giving of any notice shall be the time of receipt thereof by the addressee or any agent of the addressee, except that in the event the addressee or such agent of the addressee shall refuse to receive any notice given as above provided or there shall be no person available at the time of delivery thereof to receive such notice, the time of the giving of such notice shall be the time of such refusal or the time of such delivery, as the case may be. Such notices shall be given to the Maker and the Payee at the addresses provided herein.

The following are events of default hereunder: (a) the failure of Maker to pay any obligation, liability or indebtedness to the Payee, whether under this Note, as and when due (whether upon demand, at maturity or by acceleration) including, without limitation, those existing as of the date of execution; (b) the commencement of a proceeding against Maker for dissolution or liquidation (which proceeding is not discharged within 45 days after commencement), the voluntary or involuntary termination or dissolution of Maker or the merger or consolidation of Maker with or into another entity; (c) the insolvency of, the business failure of, the appointment of a custodian, trustee, liquidator or receiver for or for any of the property of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the filing of a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law (which petition is not discharged within 45 days after filing) or the filing of a petition for any adjustment of indebtedness, composition or extension by or against Maker (which petition is not discharged within 45 days after filing); (d) the breach of any covenant made by the Maker to the Payee; (e) the entry of a material judgment against Maker not paid or bonded within 45 days after entry; (f) the seizure or forfeiture of, or the issuance of any writ of possession, garnishment or attachment, or any turnover order for any property of Maker; or (g) the occurrence of a material adverse change in the financial condition of Maker.

Whenever there is an event of default under this Note (a) the entire balance outstanding hereunder and all other obligations of Maker to the Payee (however acquired or evidenced) shall, at the option of Payee, become immediately due and payable, and/or (b) to the extent permitted by law, the rate of interest on the unpaid principal shall be increased at the Payee’s discretion up to 15% per annum (the “Default Rate”). The provisions herein for a Default Rate and a delinquency charge shall not be deemed to extend the time for any payment hereunder or to constitute a “grace period” giving Maker a right to cure any default. At the Payee’s option, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or charges may, for purposes of computing and accruing interest on a daily basis after the due date of this Note or any installment thereof, be deemed to be a part of the principal balance, and interest shall accrue on a daily compounded basis after such date at the Default Rate provided in this Note until the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest is paid in full.

The remedies of Payee as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of Payee and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. The acceptance by Payee of any payment under this Note which is less than the amount then due or the acceptance of any amount after the due date thereof, shall not be

deemed a waiver of any right or remedy available to Payee nor nullify the prior exercise of any such right or remedy by Payee. None of the terms or provisions of this Note may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by a written document executed by Payee and the Maker, and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. No course of dealing or conduct shall be effective to waive, alter, modify or amend any of the terms or provisions hereof. The failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy available to Payee shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Payee to exercise the same or any other right or remedy available to Payee at that time or at any subsequent time.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Note, the Payee does not intend to charge and Maker shall not be required to pay any amount of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law as amended from time to time. Should any interest payment or other payment of the loan evidenced by this Note result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law, then any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by Payee, and all such excess shall be credited by Payee against the unpaid principal balance of this Note or paid by Payee to Maker or to any parties liable for the repayment of the loan evidenced by this Note, in the sole discretion of Payee. It is the intent of the parties hereto that neither Maker, nor any parties liable for the repayment of the loan evidenced by this Note, shall be required to pay interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law as amended from time to time.

If any provision of this Note shall be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Note and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been contained herein.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maker and all sureties, endorsers and guarantors of this Note, if any, hereby (a) waive demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and all other notice, filing of suit, and diligence in collecting this Note; (b) agree to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable hereon; (c) waive any right to immunity from any action or proceeding brought in connection with this Note or any instrument securing it and waive any immunity or exemption of any property, wherever located, from garnishment, levy, execution, seizure or attachment prior to or in execution of judgment, or sale under execution or other process for the collection of debts; (d) waive any right to interpose any setoff or counterclaim or to plead any statute of limitations as a defense in any such action or proceeding, and waive all statutory provisions and requirements for the benefit of Maker, now or hereafter in force; (e) agree that Payee shall not be required first to institute any suit or to exhaust its remedies against Maker or any other person or party liable hereunder in order to enforce payment for this Note; and (f) consent to any extension, rearrangement, renewal, or postponement of time of payment of this Note and to any other indulgency with respect thereto without notice, consent or consideration to any of them.

MAKER IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO THAT IS BROUGHT BY MAKER SHALL BE TRIED BY THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA SITTING IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTS SITTING THERE. MAKER IRREVOCABLY

SUBMITS, IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING THAT IS BROUGHT BY PAYEE, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE MADE UPON MAKER BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF TO MAKER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN (AS WELL AS BY ANY OTHER LAWFUL METHOD).

PAYEE AND MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO BRING ANY ACTION IN THE NATURE OF A PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PAYEE ENTERING INTO THE LOAN TRANSACTION EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.
