EXHIBIT 10.26
U.S. WIRELESS DATA, INC.
NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
1. General. This Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement sets
forth the terms under which the undersigned ("Investor") agrees to purchase a
$250,000 principal amount, 8.5% Promissory Note (the "Note") of U.S. Wireless
Data, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company") due September 9, 1998 (the
"Due Date"), together with warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 20,000 shares
of the no par value Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"),
exercisable until September 9, 2001 at a per share price equal to the closing
last sale price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board as of the business day immediately preceding the date of purchase of the
Note and Warrants.
By execution hereof, Investor acknowledges that Investor
understands that the Company is relying upon the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of Investor contained herein.
2. Subscription Amount and Payment. Investor tenders $250,000
in full payment for the Note and Warrants.
3. Security Interest. The Company hereby grants the Investor a
security interest in the assets of the Company as described on Exhibit A to this
Agreement, and subject to the exceptions stated therein. The security interest
granted hereby is restricted to only so much collateral as may be necessary to
allow Investor to recover the amounts owed to it by the Company under the Note.
4. Company Need for Additional Financing; Investor's
Right of First Refusal.
a. Need for Additional Financing. Investor understands and agrees
that the Company is presently engaged in several negotiations aimed at
raising substantial additional equity financing in an amount of at
least $1,000,000, but may require additional bridge financing in the
form of Company debt in the immediate future, and prior to the time
when the Company is able to complete a more substantial equity or debt
financing (such intermediate funding being referred to hereafter as
the "Bridge Financing"). Investor agrees that the Company shall be
entitled to seek and obtain such Bridge Financing and may, as a part
of such financing, be required to grant a security interest to the
purchaser of that debt. Investor agrees that the Company may grant
such a security interest in and to Company assets to such bridge
financier and may modify the security interest granted hereby to allow
for the successful consummation of such Bridge Financing, provided
that any such security interest does not diminish the security
interest granted to Investor hereunder to the point where Investor is
not fully secured for the amount of the indebtedness owing to Investor
under the Note.
b. First Right of Refusal. Investor is hereby given a right of
first refusal to fund any such additional Bridge Financing. Upon
receipt by the Company of any bona fide proposal for such Bridge
Financing from any person, the Company shall provide a copy of the
proposal and/or a summary of the terms of such proposed financing to
Investor, which shall have one business day from receipt of such
information to determine whether to exercise its first right of
refusal, and fund the Bridge Financing on the same terms and
conditions as have been offered by the other party. If Investor
rejects such offer, or fails to respond within the applicable period,
the Company shall be free to accept such proposal from the other
party. Any substantial change in the terms of such proposal by the
other party subsequent to a rejection by Investor and prior to funding
shall reactivate Investor's first right of refusal, which shall be
presented to Investor on the revised terms.
5. Prepayment and/or Conversion of the Note. Investor
understands that the Company has been engaged in discussions with various
parties, including Investor, regarding the possible issuance by the Company of
additional debt or equity securities (apart from the Bridge Financing described
in Section 4 above), including the possible issuance of a Series B Preferred
Stock to be authorized and issued by the Company upon final agreement as to the
terms of such Series B Preferred Stock. The Company and Investor agree that at
any time prior to the Due Date of the Note, the Note shall be paid in full (as
to all amounts of unpaid principal and interest then owing) from the proceeds of
the sale of any equity or debt securities of the Company (including shares of
the Series B Preferred Stock), provided the Company has received gross proceeds
in the minimum amount of U.S. One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from the sale of
such equity or debt securities (but from which amount any proceeds from a Bridge
Financing shall be excluded).
6. Investor's Representations and Warranties. Investor
represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that:
a. Investor has carefully reviewed the information contained in
the Company's Form SB-2 Registration Statement (the "Registration

attempt to dispose of the Note or, if applicable, the shares that may
be issued upon conversion of the Note, except in compliance with the
Act.
i. Investor has the authority to purchase the Note and to execute
any other instruments or documents required to be executed in
connection with a purchase of Note.
7. Indemnification. The Investor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, the officers, directors, employees and/or agents of the
Company from and against any and all loss, damage, liability or expense,
including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, to which they may be put or
which they may incur by reason of or in connection with any failure of the
Investor's representations and warranties to be fully true, correct, and
complete or Investor's failure to fulfill any of Investor's covenants or
