$800,000.00
Houston,
Texas
August 21, 2008
FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, REMOTE KNOWLEDGE, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of SLW INTERNATIONAL, LLC, a
Texas limited liability company (“Lender”), at its designated office, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the principal sum of EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($800,000.00), or such lesser amount as is advanced
hereunder, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth
below.
1. (a) All
principal outstanding under this Note (pursuant to the renewal, extension and
conversion of the Prior Note (as hereinafter defined)) shall bear interest
retroactive to the date of initial funding and prior to maturity at a rate equal
to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate and (ii) fifteen percent (15%) per
annum.
(b) If an Event of Default has
occurred all principal outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the
lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate and (ii) eighteen percent (18%) per
annum.
2. Interest
on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day) unless such calculation would result in a usurious
rate in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as the case may be.
3. Principal
of and interest on this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date
except as otherwise provided herein.
4. Borrower
shall pay to Lender a commitment fee in the amount of $12,500.00 in connection
with the funding of the Prior Note which occurred on February 25,
2008. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender a commitment
fee in the amount of $75,000.00 for the increase of the Prior Note which
occurred on May 30, 2008, and the extension of the Maturity Date and the
conversion evidenced by this Note. Such commitment fees shall be
funded to Lender on behalf of Borrower out of the proceeds of the advances
hereunder and shall be fully earned when paid.
5. Xxxxxx
agrees to fund this Note to Borrower in accordance with the express terms hereof
in one or more advances. Borrower may not reborrow any portion of
this Note which is repaid hereunder.
6. This Note
is guaranteed as provided in the Guaranty Agreements (hereinafter defined) and
is secured by a first priority pledge of any and all assets of Borrower, now
owned or hereafter acquired or developed, as provided in the Security Agreement
(hereinafter defined).
7. (a) At
any time and from time to time, Lender may elect, upon not less than
seventy-five (75) days notice to Borrower, at its sole discretion, by written
notice to Xxxxxxxx, to convert or exchange all or any part of the amounts
outstanding under this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon into
Borrower common stock (“Conversion Interests”) as reflected below. Each
$0.04 of the outstanding balance of this Note (the “Conversion Price”) may be
converted into or exchanged for one (1) share of Borrower common stock based on
62,500,000 outstanding shares of Borrower stock (the “Common Stock”) on a fully
diluted basis.
1
(b) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided in order to prevent the dilution of Xxxxxx’s right to acquire shares of
Xxxxxxxx’s Common Stock hereunder. Upon each adjustment of the
Conversion Price, Lender shall thereafter be entitled to acquire, at the
Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the
Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.
The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(i)
|
Stock Splits and
Combinations. If Borrower effects a subdivision of the Common
Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such subdivision
shall be proportionately decreased. If Borrower shall at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof combine the Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately before such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
|
(ii)
|
Common Stock Dividends
and Distributions. If Borrower makes a dividend or other
distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such
event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased by multiplying the
Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the time of such issuance and the denominator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution.
|
(iii)
|
Capital
Reorganizations. If there is a capital reorganization of the Common
Stock, provision shall be made so that Lender shall thereafter be entitled
to receive upon the exercise hereof the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon exercise immediately prior to such event would have been
entitled as a result of such capital
reorganization.
|
(iv)
|
Other
Adjustment. In the event of any other event or
circumstance which results in any increase in or other change to the
issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Borrower from and
after the date hereof, including without limitation, any public or private
offering of securities of the Borrower and any issuance of securities in
connection with any merger, acquisition, disposition or other similar
transaction, such that Lender’s right to acquire such shares of Common
Stock will be diluted as a percentage of Borrower’s outstanding shares of
Common Stock following such event or circumstance, the Conversion Price
shall be adjusted as necessary in order to prevent any such
dilution.
|
2
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in connection
with or as a result of any dilutive issuance of common shares related to a
compensatory issuance of common shares to the employees or directors of Borrower
as approved by Xxxxxxxx’s board of directors.
All
election notices, once given by the Lender, shall be revocable until the date
ten (10) days prior to the date the election is effected. Borrower
hereby agrees to take all action and to execute, deliver and file such documents
or instruments, including, without limitation,
amendments to its charter and constituent documents, as may be required in order
to give effect to Xxxxxx’s conversion rights under this paragraph.
(c) To the
extent of Xxxxxxxx’s delivery to the Lender of the number of Conversion
Interests into which the amounts outstanding under this Note whether in whole or
in part, is convertible pursuant to the election made above (together with the
cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Conversion Interests as
contemplated below), such delivery will be deemed to satisfy Borrower’s
obligation to pay the principal amount of this Note and the accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. At Borrower’s option, all then accrued and unpaid
interest related to any such converted principal amount shall be payable in cash
by Borrower in lieu of any Conversion Interests.
(d) No
conversion shall result in the issuance of fractional shares of Conversion
Interests. If Lender would otherwise be entitled to a fractional
share, then Borrower shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to the conversion
value of such fractional share unless the Lender has elected to maintain its
commitment under this Note.
(e) Upon any
conversion of this Note into Conversion Interests, Borrower shall, at its
expense, deliver to Lender as soon as practicable a certificate representing the
number of Conversion Interests to which Lender is entitled as provided in
paragraph (a) above at which time Xxxxxx shall surrender this Note to Borrower
if all the outstanding principal hereof and accrued interest thereon is being
converted or exchanged. In the event Lender elects to convert or
exchange less than all of the outstanding principal of and accrued interest on
this Note, the unconverted portion of such principal and interest shall remain
outstanding and Borrower shall promptly issue a replacement promissory note
evidencing such outstanding amount in exchange for this
Note. Irrespective of the date of issuance and delivery of any
certificates with respect thereto, shares or units of Conversion Interests
purchased by conversion as provided herein shall be, and deemed to be, issued to
Lender as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
date on which this Note shall have been surrendered as aforesaid.
(f) Borrower,
upon conversion of this Note, covenants that all shares or units of Conversion
Interests that may be issued upon conversion of this Note will, upon issuance
thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive rights, taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue
thereof. Issuance of certificates for Conversion Interests upon the
conversion provided herein shall be made without charge to Lender for any issue
or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by Borrower, and such
certificates shall be issued in the name of Lender.
3
(g) Lender
acknowledges that this Note does not entitle Lender, by virtue solely of this
Note, to any voting rights or other rights as a holder of any Conversion
Interests of Borrower prior to the conversion provided for herein.
(h) Borrower
covenants that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of executing certificates to execute and
issue the necessary certificates for shares or units of Conversion Interests
upon the conversion of this Note.
(i) Conversions
are subject to a $100,000.00 minimum conversion amount (or such lesser amount as
may be outstanding under this Note).

the case of a mailed notice, three (3) Business Days after being duly deposited
in the mails, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.
27. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Note shall
require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein
provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note or
otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Borrower nor the sureties,
guarantors, successors or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use,
forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any
reason interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required
or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be
applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by
this Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any
remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower
and Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize
any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total
amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed
the Maximum Rate.
28. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, (a) declare the
entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest on this Note immediately due and
payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice of acceleration, notice of
intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand or other formalities of any
kind, all of which are hereby waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable, (b) foreclose or otherwise
enforce any Lien granted to Lender to secure payment and performance of the
Obligations, (c) offset against this Note any sum or sums owed by the holder
hereof to Borrower and (d) take any and all other actions available to Lender
under this Note, at law, in equity or otherwise; provided, however, that upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection (d) or (e) of the
definition of the term “Event of Default”, the outstanding principal of and
accrued and unpaid interest on this Note and the other Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice of
acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand or
other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived. Failure of the holder hereof to exercise any of the foregoing
options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the
occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.

29. Borrower
hereby agrees to pay Lender on demand (a) all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution
of this Note and the other Loan Documents and any and all amendments,

legal counsel, (b) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in
connection with the enforcement of this Note or any other Loan Document,

and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of
any sums of money payable on this Note jointly and severally waive notice,
presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or
dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all other formalities of
any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods
of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of
any collateral securing this Note, all without prejudice to the
holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way,
at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any
other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of
any of said indebtedness, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances
whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting
the personal liability of any party hereunder.
32. Xxxxxx
hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the

Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other
information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OR ANY MATTER RELATED TO ANY LETTER OF
CREDIT, INCLUDING,
WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE ABOVE, ANY CLAIM WHICH ARISES AS A RESULT OF THE
NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT XXXXXXXX'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE CLAIMS ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE
