CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	 $475,000.00
	 	 Dated:    March 6, 2003


 
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED IFX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to UBS Capital Americas III, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (the “Payee”),
or its registered assigns, the principal amount of Four Hundred Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($475,000.00) together with interest thereon calculated from the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Convertible Promissory
Note (the “Convertible Note”). 
 
Certain
capitalized terms are defined in Section 8 hereof. 
 
1.  Interest Rate.    Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) on the unpaid principal amount of this Convertible Note
outstanding from time to time; provided that so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest shall accrue to the extent permitted by law at the rate of the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum on the unpaid
principal amount of this Convertible Note outstanding from time to time for the period beginning on the date on which such Event of Default occurs and ending on the date on which such Event of Default ceases to exist. Interest shall be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. 
 
2.  Maturity Date.    Notwithstanding Section 3 below, the entire principal amount of this Convertible Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full in
cash in immediately available funds on March 1, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”). Any overdue principal and overdue interest together with any interest thereon, shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 
3.  Conversion. 
 
(a) Subject to a Forced Payee D Election described below, at
the election of the Payee (the “Payee D Election”) at any time prior to the Maturity Date, all of the principal amount of this Convertible Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be converted into 
 

1 








 
shares of the Series D
Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to $1.20 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, stock dividends and the like) of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Conversion Price”). The Series D Preferred Stock to
be issued upon any such conversion shall have the same rights, preferences and privileges as the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock issued in the Series D Financing. The Payee, upon making such conversion, and as a condition thereof, shall enter
into a registration rights agreement and shareholders agreement substantially in the form of the Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement among the Company and the holders of
the Series D Preferred Stock, if the Payee is not already a party to any of such agreements. No fractional shares shall be issued upon a conversion into Series D Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which Payee would otherwise be
entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Series D Conversion Price. In the event that the Payee does not own Company Common Stock at the time of the conversion to Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to this
section, then in lieu of the “common to preferred” conversion right provided under the terms of the Series D Financing, and in addition to the shares of Series D Preferred Stock issuable as provided above, Payee shall receive 0.0342 shares
of Series D Preferred Stock for each dollar of Convertible Note plus accrued and unpaid interest converted pursuant hereto. In the event that Convertible Noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes
elect to make a Payee D Election, then all of the Convertible Noteholders who have not otherwise voluntarily made a Payee D Election shall be deemed to have automatically made a Payee D Election on the first date that a majority of Convertible
Noteholders holding a majority of the Convertible Notes shall have made a Payee D Election (the “Forced Payee D Election”). 
 
(b)    In the event that the Company enters into a Qualified Financing Purchase Agreement prior to the Maturity Date
(the date thereof being the “Qualified Financing Date”), then, subject to a Forced Payee F Election described below, at the election of the Payee (the “Payee F Election”), this Convertible Note plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon may be converted, in whole and not in part, into Qualified Financing Securities at a conversion price equal to the purchase price per Qualified Financing Security set forth in the Qualified Financing Purchase Agreement (the
“Qualified Financing Conversion Price”). The Company shall provide Payee timely notice of the Qualified Financing Date, and Payee shall make the Payee F Election within ten (10) business days of receiving such notice. The Payee,
upon making such conversion, and as a condition thereof, shall enter into any registration rights agreement, shareholders agreement or other material agreements entered into by other investors in the Qualified Financing. In the event that
Convertible Noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes elect to make a Payee F Election, then all of the Convertible Noteholders who have not otherwise voluntarily made a Payee F Election shall be
deemed to have automatically made a Payee F Election on the first date that a majority of Convertible Noteholders holding a majority of the Convertible Notes shall have made a Payee F Election (the “Forced Payee F Election”).

 
(c)    At such time as a
conversion under this Section 3 has been effected, the rights of the holder of this Convertible Note as the holder of such note shall cease, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of the Series D
Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities, as the case may be, are to be issued 
 

2 








 
upon such conversion shall be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of such Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities represented thereby. 
 
(d)    The Company shall deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities, as the case may be, issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified. 
 
(e)    The issuance of certificates for
shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities, as the case may be, upon conversion of this Convertible Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by
the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities, provided that such holder shall pay any transfer taxes associated therewith. 
 
(f)    The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities, as the case may be, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion hereunder, such number of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities issuable upon conversion, or, if an adequate number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities have not previously been authorized, the Company shall authorize additional
shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities The Company shall not designate or authorize any additional classes of Preferred Stock if such authorization or designation would preclude the Company from authorizing and issuing
the Series D Preferred Stock or the Qualified Financing Securities. All such securities which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than the
applicable shareholders agreement and securities laws). The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such securities may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which such shares of capital stock may be listed; provided, that in no event will the Company be obligated to register Series D Preferred Stock or Qualified Financing Securities under the
Securities Act of 1933.

5.    Representations and Warranties of Payee.    Payee represents and warrants to Company that: 
 
(a)  Investment Purpose.    Payee is acquiring this Convertible Note and any and all securities into
which this Convertible Note is convertible solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and has no present intention or plan to effect any distribution
thereof. The securities issuable upon conversion hereof will bear a legend to the following effect: 
 
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), or the laws of any state and may not be sold or transferred except in compliance with the Act and such laws.”

(c)  Sophistication.    Payee is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Convertible Note and can afford to sustain a total loss of such investment, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the proposed investment and therefore has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of such Convertible Note.

 
(d)  Illiquidity.    Payee understands that there is no public market for the Convertible Note to be acquired by it and that there may never be a public market for such Convertible Note or the
preferred stock or other security to be issued at conversion, and that such Purchaser may have to bear the risk of its investment in such securities for a substantial period of time.

within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. In addition, Payee has received such information as it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Convertible Note.

granting equitable remedies. 
 
(g)  No Conflict.    The execution by Payee of this Convertible Note and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Payee will not result in any violation of or default under, any
provision of the organizational documents of Payee, any contract to which Payee is a party or any applicable law, rule or regulation, which violation or default could reasonably be expected to (i) affect the validity of this Convertible Note, (ii)
affect in any material respect any action taken or to be taken by Payee pursuant to this Convertible Note, or (iii) have a material adverse effect on the properties, assets, business or operations of such Payee.
