----------------
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ILIVE, INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter

Onshore Corporate Services Ltd., P.O. Box 1234 G.T., Queensgate House, South
Church Street, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Fax: 000-000-0000 (the "HOLDER") on
order, without demand, the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000),
with simple interest accruing at the annual rate of 8%, on January 10, 2004 (the
"Maturity Date").
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
DEFAULT RELATED PROVISIONS
1.1 PAYMENT GRACE PERIOD. The Borrower shall have a five (5) day grace
period to pay any monetary amounts due under this Note, after which grace period
a default interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum shall apply to the
amounts owed hereunder.

Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date
hereof and until the Note is paid in full.
1.3 INTEREST RATE. Subject to the Holder's right to convert, interest

accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable, or sooner as described
below.
1
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal amount and
interest due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock as set
forth below.
2.1. CONVERSION INTO THE BORROWER'S COMMON STOCK.
(a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the issuance of this
Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any
outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and at the Holder's
election, the interest accrued on the Note, (the date of giving of such notice
of conversion being a "CONVERSION DATE") into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of common stock of the Borrower as such stock exists on the date of
issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of the Borrower into which
such stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the "COMMON STOCK") at
the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "CONVERSION
PRICE"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a
Notice of Conversion as described in Section 8 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement entered into between the Borrower and certain persons who are
signatories thereto, including the Holder, relating to this Note (the "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT") of the Holder's written request for conversion, the Borrower shall
issue and deliver to the Holder within three business days from the Conversion
Date that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted
in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower
will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note through the Conversion Date
directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
principal of the Note to be converted and interest, if any, by the Conversion
Price.
(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the
Conversion Price per share shall be the lower of (i) $.13 ("MAXIMUM BASE
PRICE"); or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the average of the three lowest closing
prices for the Common Stock on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap
Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange, or New York
Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading
exchange or market for the Common Stock, the "PRINCIPAL MARKET"), or on any
securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then
being listed or traded, for the thirty (30) trading days prior to but not
including the Conversion Date.
(c) The Maximum Base Price described in Section 2.1(b)(i) above and
number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion
determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion
right remains outstanding, as follows:
2
X. Xxxxxx, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time
shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all
its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal
portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to
evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other
securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account
of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the
securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such
successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall,
by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a
different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the
unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter
be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such
securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of
such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change.
C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of
Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of
shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares
of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case
of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the
case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears
to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such event.
D. Share Issuance. Subject to the provisions of this Section,
if the Borrower at any time shall issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the
conversion of the entire principal amount of the Note (otherwise than as: (i)
provided in Sections 2.1(c)A, 2.1(c)B or 2.1(c)C or this subparagraph D; or (ii)
pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares, outstanding
on the date hereof as set forth in the Schedules to the Purchase Agreement
(which agreement is incorporated herein by this reference); ((i) and (ii) above,
are hereinafter referred to as the "EXISTING OPTION OBLIGATIONS") for a
consideration less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time
of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced as follows: (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be multiplied by the
Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issue and the product shall be
added to the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Borrower upon such
issue of additional shares of Common Stock; and (ii) the sum so obtained shall
be divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such issue. The resulting quotient shall be the adjusted conversion price.
Except for the Existing Option Obligations and options that may be issued under
any employee incentive stock option and/or any non-qualified stock option plan
adopted by the Borrower, for purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any
security of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security into shares
of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock
shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights.
3
(d) During the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of
this Note. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents,
and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
2.2 METHOD OF CONVERSION. This Note may be converted by the Holder in
whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Purchase
Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same
date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued
by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and
interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
ARTICLE III
EVENT OF DEFAULT
The occurrence of any of the following events of default ("EVENT OF
DEFAULT") shall, at the option of the Holder hereof, make all sums of principal
and interest then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable
hereunder immediately due and payable, all without demand, presentment or
notice, or grace period, all of which hereby are expressly waived, except as set
forth below:

other term or condition of this Note in any material respect and such breach, if

to the Borrower from the Holder.
3.3 BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Any material
representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein, in the Purchase

benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver

a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.
4

be entered or filed against the Borrower or any of its property or other assets
for more than $100,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a
period of forty-five (45) days.

of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
