SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of PACIFIC CMA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"PARENT"), and the other companies listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (such
other companies together with the Parent, each a "COMPANY" and collectively, the
"COMPANIES"), jointly and severally, promises to pay to LAURUS MASTER FUND,
LTD., c/o M&C Corporate Services Limited, P.O. Box 309 GT, Xxxxxx House, South
Church Street, Xxxxxx Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Fax: 000-000-0000 (the
"HOLDER") or its registered assigns or successors in interest, the sum of Four
Million Dollars ($4,000,000), or, if different, the aggregate principal amount
of all Loans (as defined in the Security Agreement referred to below), together
with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on July 29, 2008, the "MATURITY
DATE") if not sooner paid.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement among the Companies and the
Holder dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified and/or supplemented
from time to time, the "SECURITY AGREEMENT").
The following terms shall apply to this Secured Convertible Note (this
"NOTE"):
ARTICLE I
CONTRACT RATE
1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10, interest payable on
the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the "PRINCIPAL AMOUNT") shall
accrue at a rate per annum equal to the "prime rate" published in The Wall
Street Journal from time to time (the "PRIME RATE"), plus one percent (1.0%)
(the "CONTRACT RATE"). The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased as the
case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal
to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as
of the day of the change in the Prime Rate. Subject to Section 1.2, the Contract
Rate shall not at any time be less than six percent (6.0%) per annum. Interest
shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable
monthly, in arrears, had commenced on August 1, 2005 (pursuant to a Secured
Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note that is simultaneously being returned to the
Company for cancellation), by the first business day of each consecutive
calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date and on the
Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
1.2 Contract Rate Adjustments and Payments. The Contract Rate shall be
calculated on the last business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than
for increases or decreases in the Prime Rate which shall be calculated and
become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1) until the Maturity
Date (each a "DETERMINATION DATE") and shall be subject to adjustment as set
forth herein. If (i) the Parent shall have registered the shares of the Common
Stock underlying the conversion of this Note and each Warrant on a registration
statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"), and (ii) the market price (the "MARKET PRICE") of the Common Stock as
reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading
days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then applicable
Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the Contract Rate
for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be reduced by 200 basis
points (200 b.p.) (2%) for each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase
in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed
Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything to the contrary
contained herein), in no event shall the Contract Rate at any time be less than
zero percent (0%).
ARTICLE II
LOANS; PAYMENTS UNDER THIS NOTE
2.1 Loans. All Loans evidenced by this Note shall be made in accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement.
2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Holder shall not be required to accept shares of Common Stock as
payment following a conversion by the Holder if there fails to exist an
effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued, or if an Event of
Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such requirement is otherwise
waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder's option. If
Xxxxxx submits a Notice of Conversion and there are no shares of Common Stock
underlying this Note that are subject to an effective current Registration
Statement, Laurus shall have the option of accepting shares of Common Stock that
are not subject to an effective current Registration Statement or withdrawing
such Notice of Conversion (in which case such Notice of Conversion shall be
deemed withdrawn and all obligations under this Note relating to such Notice of
Conversion shall be reinstated).
2.3 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Companies will have the option of
prepaying this Note ("OPTIONAL REDEMPTION") by paying to the Holder a sum of
money equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the principal amount of this
Note together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other
sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Security
Agreement, or any other Ancillary Agreement (the "REDEMPTION AMOUNT")
outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Company shall
deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the "NOTICE OF
REDEMPTION") specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the "REDEMPTION
PAYMENT DATE"), which date shall not be less than seven (7) days after the date
of the Notice of Redemption (the "REDEMPTION PERIOD"). A Notice of Redemption
shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the
Holder has previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (defined below) pursuant
to Section 3.1, or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to
Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be
determined as if such Xxxxxx's conversion elections had been completed
immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption
Payment Date, the Redemption Amount (plus any additional interest and fees
accruing on the Notes during the Redemption Period) must be irrevocably paid in
full in immediately available funds to the Holder. In the event the Companies
fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date, then such
Redemption Notice shall be null and void.
2
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED CONVERSION PRICE
3.1 Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article III, the
Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the
Maturity Date, or during an Event of Default (as defined in Article IV), and,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, to convert all or
any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion
Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the initial "FIXED
CONVERSION PRICE" means (i) with respect to the first $3,750,000 of the
aggregate principal amount converted pursuant to the terms of this Note, (and
all interest related thereto), $.88 and (ii) with respect to the remaining
principal amount converted pursuant to the terms of this Note(and all interest
related thereto), $1.05. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion are herein referred to as the "CONVERSION SHARES."
3.2 Conversion Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall
not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that
would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed
the difference between (i) 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder. For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation
13d-3 thereunder. The Conversion Shares limitation described in this Section 3.2
shall automatically become null and void following written notice to any Company
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or upon
75 days prior written notice to the Parent, except that at no time shall the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder exceed 19.99%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or such lesser amount as required by
the applicable Principal Market on which the Parent's Common Stock is listed,
unless such shall first be approved by the Parent's stockholders.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable by the Parent and acquirable by the Holder at a price
below $.81 per share pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Security Agreement
or any other Ancillary Agreement, shall not exceed an aggregate of 5,095,933
shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock)
(the "MAXIMUM COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE"), unless the issuance of Common Stock
hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved
by the Parent's shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the
number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Note, the
Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, together with the number of
shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Parent to the Holder
in the event of a conversion or exercise pursuant to the terms of this Note, the
Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, would exceed the Maximum
Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 3.2, the Parent shall promptly call a
shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the
shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of
this Section 3.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or any
Company.
3
3.3 Mechanics of Xxxxxx's Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects
to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such
election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (appropriately completed) ("NOTICE OF
CONVERSION") to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a
breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and
fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined)
and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the
appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as
entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent
within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a
Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Parent in accordance with
the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the "CONVERSION DATE").
Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will issue
instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within
two (2) Business Days of the date of the delivery to the Parent of the Notice of
Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates
representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3)
Business Days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion (the
"DELIVERY DATE"). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth
herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the
Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been
issued upon the date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion. The
Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion
Shares, unless the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the
contrary.
3.4 Late Payments. Each Company understands that a delay in the delivery
of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond
the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation
to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which
the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Companies
shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late
issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article III
upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $200 per Business Day after
the Delivery Date. The Companies shall, jointly and severally, make any payments
incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
3.5 Conversion Mechanics. 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 and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the
then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.
4
3.6 Adjustment Provisions. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind
of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant
to Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right
remains outstanding, as follows:
(a) Reclassification. If the Parent 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 Amount 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 (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after
such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.
(b) 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 or any
preferred stock issued by the Parent in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed
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.
(c)
3.7 Reservation of Shares. During the period the conversion right exists,
the Parent will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares
upon the full conversion of this Note and the Warrant. The Parent represents
that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. The Parent 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 the Conversion Shares upon the conversion
of this Note.
3.8 Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted registration rights
with respect to the Conversion Shares as set forth in a Registration Rights
Agreement.
3.9 Issuance of New Note. Upon any 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 Parent to the Holder for the principal balance
of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject
to the provisions of Article IV of this Note, the Parent shall not pay any
costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and
issuance of a new Note.
5
ARTICLE IV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND DEFAULT RELATED PROVISIONS
4.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Security Agreement shall constitute an event of default ("EVENT OF DEFAULT")
hereunder.
4.2 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay
additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in an
amount equal to one percent (1%) per month, and all outstanding Obligations,
including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such additional
interest rate from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event
of Default is cured or waived.
4.3 Termination upon an Event of Default. Following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holder, at its option, may
elect., in addition to all rights and remedies of the Holder under the Security
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and all obligations of each Company under
the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, to terminate the Security
Agreement pursuant to Section 17 thereof and require the Companies, jointly and
severally, to make a Default Payment ("DEFAULT PAYMENT"). The Default Payment
shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the outstanding principal amount
of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, all other fees then remaining
unpaid, and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Default Payment shall be
applied first to any fees due and payable to the Holder pursuant to the Notes
and/or the Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the
Notes, the Security Agreement and then to the outstanding principal balance of
the Notes. The Default Payment shall be due and payable immediately on the date
that the Holder has exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 4.3.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

III shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof until
the date this Note is indefeasibly paid in full and irrevocably terminated.
5.2 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.
5.3 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of

any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or
of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing
hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder in accordance with the

such purported assignment without such consent being null and void.
