PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ngen Technologies Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation
(hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of
Santa Monica Venture Finance, Inc., a California corporation or registered
assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of U.S. $774,202.00 (the “Principal Amount”)
together with any interest as set forth herein, on the first annual anniversary
of the Issue Date as set forth above (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest
on the unpaid principal balance as set forth herein hereof from the date hereof
(the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity
or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. All payments shall be made
at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written
notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount
expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a
business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is
a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the
date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof
shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of
interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall
mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in
the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive
order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise
defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Restructuring,
Settlement and Release Agreement between the Borrower, the Holder and the other
parties thereto, dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was
originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to
the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar
rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability
upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

Section 1.02 Payments. Subject to the other provisions of this Note, the
Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be due
and payable in full on the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date, or (ii) the date
on which a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company occurs. For
purposes herein, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if,
after the Issue Date, there shall have occurred any of the following:

 

  (i) a complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or similar
occurrence;         (ii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation,
acquisition, separation, reorganization, or similar occurrence, in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions, where the Company is not the
surviving entity or where the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
the consummation of such transaction do not continue to hold at least a majority
of the voting power of the Company following the consummation of such
transaction; or         (iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, each in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions.

Article II. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

In addition to the other “Events of Default” as set forth herein, if any of the

be an “Event of Default” hereunder:

principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, following a five (5) day cure period.

material term or condition contained in this Note or in any collateral
documents, including but not limited to the Restructuring Agreement, or in any
other agreements, promissory notes, or contracts between the Borrower and any of
its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its Affiliates, on the
other hand, and such breach continues for a period of ten (10) days after
written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

 

Section 2.03 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or
warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or
certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
(including, without limitation, the Restructuring Agreement), shall be false or

with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of
the Holder with respect to this Note or the Restructuring Agreement.

Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts
become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to

pay its debts as they become due.

 

Section 2.09 Consequences of Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default, exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower
by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), this Note shall become immediately due
and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of
its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the then outstanding principal
amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal
amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately
become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which
hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without
limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be
entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity.

 

Article III. MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 3.01 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part
of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.

 

Section 3.02 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and
other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Restructuring
Agreement.

 

Section 3.03 Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended
by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term
“Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean
this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Restructuring
Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as
so amended or supplemented.

 

Section 3.04 Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its
successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its
successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited
investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything
in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in
connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

Section 3.05 Cost of Collection. If an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower
shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’
fees.

 

Section 3.06 Governing Law.

 

  (a) This Note shall be delivered and accepted in and shall be deemed to be
contracts made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada,
and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such
State, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state.

 

 3 

 

 

  (b) Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the
transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts
or federal courts located in the state of Texas, Dallas County. The parties to
this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of
any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack
of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and
Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that
any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection
herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of
law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may
conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or
rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under
any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding
in connection with this Note by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 3.07 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Note or
the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the total liability for
payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without
limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be
deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of
the jurisdiction governing this Note or any other applicable law. In the event
the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of
interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other
sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason
whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or
other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the
jurisdiction governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully
collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further
agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the
reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder immediately upon
receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as
though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied
to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and the Holder
hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal;
provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time,
elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the
collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest,
rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then
outstanding. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend
or expect to pay, nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any
interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest
which may be charged under applicable law.

 

Section 3.08 Restructuring Agreement. By its acceptance of this Note, each Party
agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Restructuring Agreement.

 

Section 3.09 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the
Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or
in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction
or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
