    FOR
      VALUE
      RECEIVED, SOLOMON TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), with
      its principal office at 1400 L&R Industrial Boulevard, Tarpon Springs,
      Florida 34689, hereby promises to pay to the order of
      Steven
      Kilponen (“Holder”), with a principal address at 16 Berry Lane, Randolph, New
      Jersey 07869 (the “Holder’s Address”), or its assigns, on June 30, 2006
      (the “Maturity Date”), the principal amount of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
      ($25,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”), in such coin or currency of the United
      States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the
      payment of public or private debts, together with interest on the unpaid balance
      of said Principal Amount from time to time outstanding at the rate of twelve
      percent (12%) per annum (“Interest”). The unpaid Principal Amount, together with
      the then accrued unpaid Interest and all other amounts owed hereunder, shall
      be
      due and payable on the Maturity Date. Payment of the Principal Amount and
      Interest hereunder shall be made by check to the Holder at the Holder’s Address
      or wire transfer of immediately available good funds to such bank account as
      the
      Holder may designate by notice to the Company prior to any such
      payment.

     

    This
      Note
      is one of a series of substantially similar notes of the Company with an
      aggregate principal amount of up to $1,600,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The
      Notes shall be payable pari passu
      with
      each other but shall at all times be senior to any other indebtedness of the
      Company in right of payment of principal, interest and all other sums due or
      payable, and all other present and future indebtedness and obligations of the
      Company, other than accrued taxes or taxes due and payable. 

     

    The
      Company has executed a security agreement dated as of March 16, 2005 (as
      amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”),
      pursuant to which the Holder and the holders of the other Notes have been
      granted a first priority security interest in the “Collateral” identified
      therein.

     

    This
      Note
      is subject to prepayment in whole or in part at any time and from time to time
      without penalty or premium, but with Interest on the amount prepaid to the
      date
      of prepayment. All prepayments will first be applied to the repayment of accrued
      fees and expenses, then to Interest accrued on this Note through the date of
      such prepayment until all then outstanding accrued Interest has been paid,
      and
      then shall be applied to the repayment of the Principal Amount.

      including reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest from the date of the Event of
      Default at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum computed on the unpaid
      principal balance. The Events of Default listed herein are solely for the
      purpose of protecting the interests of the Holder of this Note.

    1.2 Non-Waiver
      and Other Remedies.
      No
      course of dealing, delay or omission on the part of the Holder of this Note
      in
      exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice
      the right of the Holder of this Note. Holder shall not be deemed to have waived
      any of its rights under this Note unless such waiver is in writing and signed
      by
      Holder. A waiver in writing by Holder on one occasion shall not be construed
      as
      a consent to or a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No
      remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to
      herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or
      otherwise.

    


    2. Obligation
      to Pay Principal and Interest; Covenants.
      No
      provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
      which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal Amount of and Interest
      on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rates, and in the
      currency or securities herein prescribed.

    


    2.1 In
      no
      event shall the amount or rate of interest due and payable under this Note
      exceed the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed by applicable law and,
      in
      the event any such excess payment is made by Company or received by Holder,
      such
      excess sum shall be credited as a payment of Principal Amount (or if no
      Principal Amount remains outstanding, shall be refunded to the Company). It
      is
      the express intent hereof that the Company shall not pay and Holder not receive,
      directly or indirectly or in any other manner, interest in excess of that which
      may be lawfully paid under applicable law. All Interest (including all charges,
      fees or other amounts deemed to be Interest) that is paid or charged under
      this
      Note shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
      allocated and spread on a pro rata
      basis
      throughout the actual term of this Note.

    


    2.2 Covenants.
      The

    (a) Pay
      and
      discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed
      upon
      it or upon its income and profits, or upon any properties belonging to it before
      the same shall be in default; provided, however, that the Company shall not
      be
      required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy that is being contested
      in good faith by proper proceedings and adequate reserves for the accrual of
      same are maintained if required by generally accepted accounting principles;
      

    


    (b) Preserve
      its corporate existence and continue to engage in business of the same general
      type as conducted as of the date hereof;

    


    (c) Comply
      in
      all respects with all statutes, laws, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees,
      injunctions, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, authorizations and
      requirements (“Requirement(s)”) of all governmental bodies, departments,
      commissions, boards, companies or associations insuring the premises, courts,
      authorities, officials, or officers, that are applicable to the Company; except
      when the failure to comply would not have a material adverse effect on the
      Company; provided that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company from
      contesting in good faith the validity or the application of any
      Requirements.
