DUE SEPTEMBER 15, 2006
This Secured Convertible Debenture (the "DEBENTURE") is issued on
May 16, 2005 by ENCLAVES GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "OBLIGOR"), to
XXXXXXXXXX EQUITY PARTNERS, LTD. (the "HOLDER"), pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT") dated
December 28, 2004 by and among the Obligor and the Buyers listed on Schedule I
attached thereto, including the Holder. The Obligor issued to the Holder on
December 28, 2004 a secured debenture in the amount of Seven Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the "DECEMBER 2004 DEBENTURE") and on January 13,
2005, a secured debenture in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the
"JANUARY 2005 DEBENTURE") (collectively referred to as the "Prior Debentures").
This Debenture is being re-issued to the Holder to reflect the cancellation and
consolidation of the Prior Debentures into this Debenture, plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the Prior Debentures ($14,281 as and for interest on the
December 2004 Debenture and $16,849 as and for interest on the January 2005
Debenture), along with an additional principal amount of Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000), which shall be funded on the date hereof pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, for a total principal sum of Three Million Seven
Hundred Eighty One Thousand One Hundred Thirty Dollars ($3,781,130).
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Obligor hereby promises to pay to the Holder
or its successors and assigns the principal sum of Three Million Seven Hundred
Eighty One Thousand One Hundred Thirty Dollars ($3,781,130), together with
accrued but unpaid interest on the following terms:
PAYMENTS. Interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall
begin to accrue from the date hereof and shall be due and payable monthly, in
arrears, as set forth below (each, an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"). Principal shall
be due and payable in 12 equal installments of $315,094.17 each, plus accrued
interest and a redemption premium equal to 12% ("REDEMPTION PREMIUM") of each
such installment or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, if lower. The
installments of principal shall be due and payable commencing September 15,
2005, and subsequent installments shall be due and payable on the fifteenth day
of each calendar month thereafter ("PRINCIPAL PAYMENT DATE") until the
outstanding principal balance is paid in full; however, all amounts of
outstanding principal shall be paid in full no later than September 15, 2006
(the "MATURITY DATE"). All payments in respect of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby shall be made in collected funds, and shall be applied to principal,
accrued interest and charges and expenses owing under or in connection with this
Debenture in such order as the Holder elects, except that payments shall be
applied to accrued interest before principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Debenture shall become due and immediately payable, including all accrued
but unpaid interest, upon the closing of a Funding Event (as defined in SECTION
4 hereof) or pursuant to an Event of Default (as defined in SECTION 2 hereof).
INTEREST. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance
hereof at an annual rate equal to 12%. Interest shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted
by applicable law. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Holder or its assignee
(as defined in SECTION 4) in whose name this Debenture is registered on the
records of the Obligor regarding registration and transfers of Debentures (the
"DEBENTURE REGISTER").
RIGHT OF REDEMPTION. The Obligor at its option shall have the right,
with three (3) business days advance written notice, to redeem a portion or all
amounts outstanding under this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date or any
Principal Payment date. The Redemption Premium shall apply to all payments
whether on, before, or after any Principal Payment Date.
SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Debenture is secured by a Security
Agreement (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT") dated December 28, 2004 between the Obligor
and the Holder. In addition, this Debenture is secured by the mortgages given to
the Holder for the North Fort Myers, Florida and Mesquite, Texas properties as

2004 and the mortgage given to the Holder of even date herewith for the Fort
Worth, Texas property.

SECTION 3. CONVERSION.
(a) (i) CONVERSION AT OPTION OF HOLDER.
(A) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common
Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time
to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the
limitations on conversion set forth in SECTION 3(A)(II) hereof). The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the sum of
(i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this
Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in SECTION
3(C)(I)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder
prior to the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time
authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock,
5
is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common
Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on
a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its
conversion; or (4) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a
violation of SECTION 3(A)(II), then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor,
in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to SECTION 3(A)(I)(A),
shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date,
an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be
converted plus any interest due therein divided by the Conversion Price and
multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from date of the conversion
notice till the date that such cash payment is made.
Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in
respect of conversion of this Debenture or as payment of interest thereon by the
fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to
the Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to
SECTION 3(C), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable
thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and
the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be
subject to the provisions of this Section.
(C) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the
Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a
"CONVERSION NOTICE"). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the
"CONVERSION DATE." Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount
outstanding under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically
surrender this Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions.
Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor
shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of
such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the
Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
(ii) CERTAIN CONVERSION RESTRICTIONS.
(A) A Holder may not convert this Debenture or receive
shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent such
conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of
interest on, this Debenture held by such Holder after application of this
Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Obligor the
number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion
hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder
or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to
determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any
particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines
that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of
which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be
the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a
6
Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard
to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own,
would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the
Obligor shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for
the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date
in accordance with the periods described in SECTION 3(A)(I)(A) and, at the
option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion
in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return
such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may
be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon
not less than 65 days prior notice to the Obligor. Other Holders shall be
unaffected by any such waiver.
(b) (i) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual
damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to SECTION 2 herein for the
Obligor 's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock
upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have
the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief,
in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The
exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to
enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(ii) In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Obligor fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates pursuant to SECTION 3(A)(I)(A) by the fifth Trading Day after the
Conversion Date, and if after such fifth (5th) Trading Day the Holder purchases
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Underlying Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "BUY-IN"), then the Obligor shall
(A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or
elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion at issue multiplied
by (2) the market price of the Common Stock at the time of the sale giving rise
to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue
a Debenture in the principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Obligor timely complied with its
delivery requirements under SECTION 3(A)(I)(A). For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Debentures with respect to
which the market price of the Underlying Shares on the date of conversion was a
total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Obligor shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Obligor written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect
of the Buy-In.
(c) (i) The conversion price (the "CONVERSION PRICE") in effect on
any Conversion Date shall be equal to one hundred percent (100 %) of the average
closing bid price of the Common Stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP for the five
(5) trading days immediately preceding the filing of the Underlying Shares
Registration Statement, which conversion price may be adjusted pursuant to the
other terms of this Debenture.
7
(ii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Obligor, then the Conversion
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(iii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture
is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Bid Price at the
record date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants (plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase), and of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered would purchase at such Closing Bid Price. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any
such right, option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the
issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section, if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not
have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration
be recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration be increased to the
price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the
Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the
issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price
made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the
basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the
Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or
warrants actually exercised.
(iv) If the Obligor or any subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any
time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS")
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share
less than the Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase
price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
8
Stock at a price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price),
then, at the sole option of the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted
to mirror the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
are issued. The Obligor shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one
(1) business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent subject to this Section, indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms. No adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result of
issuances and exercises of options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued for
compensatory purposes pursuant to any of the Obligor's stock option or stock
purchase plans.
(v) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the
Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion
Price at which this Debenture shall thereafter be convertible shall be
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Bid
Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the
numerator shall be such Closing Bid Price on such record date less the then fair
market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(vi) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal amount,
together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing
hereunder in respect of this Debenture into the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the
Holder of this Debenture shall be entitled upon such event to receive such
amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the
Obligor into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all
accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in
respect of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled, or (B) require the
Obligor to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus all
interest and other amounts due and payable thereon. The entire prepayment price
shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications or share exchanges.
(vii) The Obligor shall maintain a share reserve of not
less than 500% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Debenture; and within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the
9
Obligor of a Holder's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is
not so reserved, the Obligor shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement.
(viii) All calculations under this SECTION 3 shall be
rounded up to the nearest $0.001 of a share.
(ix) Whenever the Conversion is adjusted pursuant to
SECTION 3 hereof, the Obligor shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting
forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(x) If (A) the Obligor shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Obligor shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the
Obligor shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any
class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Obligor
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock,
any consolidation or merger to which the Obligor is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Obligor, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; or (E) the Obligor shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Obligor; then, in each case, the Obligor shall cause to be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall
cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the
stock books of the Obligor, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the
20-day calendar period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date
of the event triggering such notice.
(xi) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the
Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor with or into another Person, or (2)
sale by the Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor of more than one-half of
the assets of the Obligor in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder
shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under SECTION 2(B), (B) convert
the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock
and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by
holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such
Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive
such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into
10
which such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been
converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have
been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the
surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by
such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing
thereon, which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms
identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture,
and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this
Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures
were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the
newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures
shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share
of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such
transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include
such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the
securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or
redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive such events.
(d) The Obligor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for
the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of
interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights
or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder,
not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any
additional requirements of the Obligor as to reservation of such shares set
forth in this Debenture) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of SECTIONS 2(B) AND 3(C)) upon the conversion of the outstanding
principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The
Obligor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid,
nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been
declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in
accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to
issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock,
but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final
fraction of a share based on the Closing Bid Price at such time. If the Obligor
elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share
of Common Stock.
(f) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on
conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder thereof
for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Obligor shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name
other than that of the Holder of such Debenture so converted and the Obligor
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Obligor
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Obligor that such tax has been paid.
11

or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be in writing and will be
