SECURED CONVERTIBLE MINIMUM BORROWING NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of RG AMERICA, INC., a Nevada corporation (the
"Parent"), and the other companies listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (such
other companies together with the Parent, each a "Company" and collectively, the
"Companies"), jointly and severally, promises to pay to LAURUS MASTER FUND,
LTD., c/o M&C Corporate Services Limited, P.O. Box 309 GT, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ House, South
Church Street, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Fax: ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (the
"Holder") or its registered assigns or successors in interest, the sum of One
Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000), or, if different, the
aggregate principal amount of all Loans (as defined in the Security Agreement
referred to below), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on
October 31, 2008 (the "Maturity Date") if not sooner paid.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement among the Companies and the
Holder dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified and/or supplemented
from time to time, the "Security Agreement").
The following terms shall apply to this Minimum Borrowing Note (this
"Note"):
53.
CONTRACT RATE
53.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10, interest payable on
the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the "Principal Amount") shall
accrue at a rate per annum equal to the "prime rate" published in The Wall
Street Journal from time to time (the "Prime Rate"), plus two percent (2.0%)
(the "Contract Rate"). The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased as the
case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal
to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as
of the day of the change in the Prime Rate. Subject to Section 1.2, the Contract
Rate shall not at any time be less than six percent (6.0%). Interest shall be
(i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in
arrears, commencing on November 1, 2005 on the first business day of each
consecutive calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date
and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
26
53.2 Contract Rate Adjustments and Payments. The Contract Rate shall be
calculated on the last business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than
for increases or decreases in the Prime Rate which shall be calculated and
become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1) until the Maturity
Date (each a "Determination Date") and shall be subject to adjustment as set
forth herein. If (i) the Parent shall have registered the shares of the Common
Stock underlying the conversion of each Minimum Borrowing Note and each Warrant
on a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), and (ii) the market price (the "Market Price") of the
Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five
(5) trading days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the
Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be reduced
by 200 basis points (200 b.p.) (2%) for each incremental twenty-five percent
(25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable
Fixed Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything to the
contrary contained herein), in no event shall the Contract Rate at any time be
less than zero percent (0%).
54.
LOANS; PAYMENTS UNDER THIS NOTE
54.1 Loans. All Loans evidenced by this Note shall be made in accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement.
54.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Holder shall not be required to accept shares of Common Stock as
payment following a conversion by the Holder if there fails to exist an
effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued, or if an Event of
Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such requirement is otherwise
waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder's option.
54.3 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Companies will have the option of
prepaying this Note ("Optional Redemption") by paying to the Holder a sum of
money equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the principal amount of this
Note together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other
sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Security
Agreement, or any other Ancillary Agreement (the "Redemption Amount")
outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Company shall
deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the "Notice of
Redemption") specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption
Payment Date"), which date shall be ten (10) days after the date of the Notice
of Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be
effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has
previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (defined below) pursuant to Section
3.1, or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1
during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if
such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the
date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption
Amount (plus any additional interest and fees accruing on the Notes during the
Redemption Period) must be irrevocably paid in full in immediately available
funds to the Holder. In the event the Companies fail to pay the Redemption
Amount on the Redemption Payment Date, then such Redemption Notice shall be null
and void.
55.
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED CONVERSION PRICE
27
55.1 Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article III, the
Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the
Maturity Date, or during an Event of Default (as defined in Article IV), and,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, to convert all or
any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees
due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at
the Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof,
the initial "Fixed Conversion Price" means $.71. The shares of Common Stock to
be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the "Conversion
Shares."
55.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms
of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion
Shares which would exceed the difference between (i) 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder. For purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Conversion Shares
limitation described in this Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and
void following notice to any Company upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, upon 75 days prior notice to the Parent, or
upon receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Redemption. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2 are
irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or any Company.
55.3 Mechanics of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects
to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such
election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (appropriately completed) ("Notice of
Conversion") to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a
breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and
fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined)
and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the
appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as
entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent
within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a
Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Parent in accordance with
the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the "Conversion Date").
Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will issue
instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within
one (1) Business Day of the date of the delivery to the Parent of the Notice of
Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates
representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3)
Business Days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion (the
"Delivery Date"). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth
herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the
Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been
issued upon the date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion. The
Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion
Shares, unless the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the
contrary.
55.4 Late Payments. Each Company understands that a delay in the delivery
of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond
the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation
to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which
the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Companies
shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late
issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article III
upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per Business Day after
the Delivery Date. The Companies shall, jointly and severally, make any payments
incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
28
55.5 Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that
portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the
then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.
55.6 Adjustment Provisions. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind
of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant
to Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right
remains outstanding, as follows:
i Reclassification. If the Parent at any time shall, by
reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a
different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the
unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed
to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind
of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with
respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after
such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.
ii Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common
Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred
stock issued by the Parent in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price
shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock
dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in
each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
iii Share Issuances. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6,
if the Parent shall at any time prior to the conversion or repayment in full of
the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible
into Common Stock to a person other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to
Sections 3.6(a) or (b) above; (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other
obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to the
Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be issued under any
employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted
by the Parent) for a consideration per share (the "Offer Price") less than the
Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Fixed
Conversion Price shall be immediately reset pursuant to the formula below. For
purposes hereof, the issuance of any security of the Parent convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to
the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of such securities pursuant to the
formula below.
If the Parent issues any additional shares of Common Stock for a
consideration per share less than the then-applicable Fixed Conversion Price
pursuant to this Section 2.6 then, and thereafter successively upon each such
issue, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price by the following fraction:
A + B
-----------------------------
(A + B) + [((C - D) x B) / C]
A = Total amount of shares convertible pursuant to the
Notes
29
B = Actual shares sold in the offering
C = Fixed Conversion Price
D = Offer Price..
iv Computation of Consideration. For purposes of any computation
respecting consideration received pursuant to Section 3.6(c) above, the
following shall apply:
1 in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no
case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other
expenses incurred by the Parent for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise
in connection therewith;
2 in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than
cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent (irrespective of the accounting
treatment thereof); and
3 upon any such exercise, the aggregate consideration received
for such securities shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the
Parent for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum
consideration, if any, to be received by the Parent upon the conversion or
exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same
manner as provided in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.5).
55.7 Reservation of Shares. During the period the conversion right exists,
the Parent will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares
upon the full conversion of this Note and the warrant. The Parent represents
that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. The Parent agrees that its issuance of this Note shall
constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are
charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and
issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares upon the conversion
of this Note.
55.8 Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted registration rights
with respect to the Conversion Shares as set forth in a Registration Rights
Agreement.
55.9 Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new
Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request
of the Holder, be issued by the Parent to the Holder for the principal balance
of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject
to the provisions of Article IV of this Note, the Parent shall not pay any
costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and
issuance of a new Note.
56.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND DEFAULT RELATED PROVISIONS
56.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Security Agreement shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default")
hereunder.
56.2 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay
additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in an
amount equal to two percent (2%) per month, and all outstanding Obligations,
including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such additional
interest rate from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event
of Default is cured or waived.
30
56.3 Default Payment. Following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Holder, at its option, may elect, in addition to all
rights and remedies of the Holder under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements and all obligations of each Company under the Security Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements, to require the Companies, jointly and severally, to
make a Default Payment ("Default Payment"). The Default Payment shall be One
Hundred Twenty percent 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note,
plus accrued but unpaid interest, all other fees then remaining unpaid, and all
other amounts payable hereunder. The Default Payment shall be applied first to
any fees due and payable to the Holder pursuant to the Notes and/or the
Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes, the
Security Agreement and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes.
The Default Payment shall be due and payable immediately on the date that the
Holder has exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 4.3.
57.

57.3 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of

of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing

otherwise available.
