CALLABLE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Lombard, Illinois
May 16, 2005
$_________
FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, GLOBALNET CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation
(hereinafter called the "Borrower"), hereby
promises to pay to the order of
_______________________________ or
registered assigns (the "Holder") the sum of
$______, on May 16, 2008 (the "Maturity
Date"), and to pay interest on the
unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate
of twelve percent (12%) per annum
from May 16, 2005 (the "Issue Date") until
the same becomes due and payable,
whether at maturity or upon acceleration or
by prepayment or otherwise. Any
amount of principal or interest on this
Note which is not paid when due shall
bear interest at the rate of fifteen
percent (15%) per annum from the due date
thereof until the same is paid ("Default
Interest"). Interest shall commence
accruing on the issue date, shall be
computed on the basis of a 365-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed and shall
be payable, quarterly on March 31,
June 30, September 30 and December 31 of
each year beginning on June 30, 2004.
All payments due hereunder (to the extent
not converted into common stock, $.005
par value per share, of the Borrower (the
"Common Stock") in accordance with the
terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money
of the United States of America. 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 Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated April 29, 2005, pursuant to
which this Note was originally issued (the
"Purchase Agreement").
<PAGE>
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 obligations of the Borrower
under this Note shall be secured by that
certain Security Agreement by and
between the Borrower and the Holder of even
date herewith.
The
following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS
1.1
Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to
time,
and at any time on or prior to the earlier
of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the
date of payment of the Default Amount (as
defined in Article III) pursuant to
Section 1.6(a) or Article III, the Optional
Prepayment Amount (as defined in
Section 5.1 or any payments pursuant to
Section 1.7, each in respect of the
remaining outstanding principal amount of
this Note to convert all or any part
of the outstanding and unpaid principal
amount of this Note into fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as
such Common Stock exists on the Issue
Date, or any shares of capital stock or
other securities of the Borrower into
which such Common Stock shall hereafter be
changed or reclassified at the
conversion price (the "Conversion Price")
determined as provided herein (a
"Conversion"); provided, however, that in
no event shall the Holder be entitled
to convert any portion of this Note in
excess of that portion of this Note upon
conversion of which the sum of (1) the
number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates (other than shares of Common
Stock which may be deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership of the
unconverted portion of the Notes or the
unexercised or unconverted portion of
any other security of the Borrower
(including, without limitation, the warrants
issued by the Borrower pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitations contained
herein) and (2) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the portion of this Note with
respect to which the determination
of this proviso is being made, would result
in beneficial ownership by the
Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9%
of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder,
except as otherwise provided in clause (1)
of such proviso. The number of shares
of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be
determined by dividing the Conversion
Amount (as defined below) by the
applicable Conversion Price then in effect
on the date specified in the notice
of conversion, in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Notice of
Conversion"), delivered to the Borrower by
the Holder in accordance with Section
1.4 below; provided that the Notice of
Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or
by other means resulting in, or reasonably
expected to result in, notice) to the
Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New
York time on such conversion date (the
"Conversion Date"). The term "Conversion
Amount" means, with respect to any
conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the
principal amount of this Note to be
converted in such conversion plus (2)
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
such principal amount at the interest rates
provided in this Note to the
Conversion Date plus (3) Default Interest,
if any, on the amounts referred to in
the immediately preceding clauses (1)
and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder's
option, any amounts owed to the Holder
pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g)
hereof or pursuant to Section 2(c) of that
certain Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2005,
executed in connection with the initial
issuance of this Note and the other Notes
issued on the Issue Date (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").

1.2
Conversion Price.
(a) Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall
be
the lesser of (i) the Variable Conversion
Price (as defined herein) and (ii) the
Fixed Conversion Price (as defined herein)
(subject, in each case, to equitable
adjustments for stock splits, stock
dividends or rights offerings by the
Borrower relating to the Borrower's
securities or the securities of any
subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations,
recapitalization, reclassifications,
extraordinary distributions and similar
events). The "Variable Conversion Price"
shall mean the Applicable Percentage (as
defined herein) multiplied by the
Market Price (as defined herein). "Market
Price" means the average of the lowest
three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below)
for the Common Stock during the
twenty (20) Trading Day period ending one
Trading Day prior to the date the
Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to
the Borrower via facsimile (the
"Conversion Date"). "Trading Price" means,
for any security as of any date, the
intraday trading price on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") as
reported by a reliable reporting service
mutually acceptable to and hereafter
designated by Holders of a majority in
interest of the Notes and the Borrower
or, if the OTCBB is not the principal
trading market for such security, the
intraday trading price of such security on
the principal securities exchange or
trading market where such security is
listed or traded or, if no intraday
trading price of such security is available
in any of the foregoing manners, the
average of the intraday trading prices of
any market makers for such security
that are listed in the "pink sheets" by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If
the Trading Price cannot be calculated for
such security on such date in the
manner provided above, the Trading Price
shall be the fair market value as
mutually determined by the Borrower and the
holders of a majority in interest of
the Notes being converted for which the
calculation of the Trading Price is
required in order to determine the
Conversion Price of such Notes. "Trading Day"
shall mean any day on which the Common
Stock is traded for any period on the
OTCBB, or on the principal securities
exchange or other securities market on
which the Common Stock is then being
traded. "Applicable Percentage" shall mean
25.0%. The "Fixed Conversion Price" shall
mean $.0036.
(b) Conversion Price During Major Announcements.
Notwithstanding
anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the
contrary, in the event the Borrower
(i) makes a public announcement that it
intends to consolidate or merge with any
other corporation (other than a merger in
which the Borrower is the surviving or
continuing corporation and its capital
stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer
all or substantially all of the assets of
the Borrower or (ii) any person, group
or entity (including the Borrower) publicly
announces a tender offer to purchase
50% or more of the Borrower's Common Stock
(or any other takeover scheme) (the
date of the announcement referred to in
clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter
referred to as the "Announcement Date"),
then the Conversion Price shall,
effective upon the Announcement Date and
continuing through the Adjusted
Conversion Price Termination Date (as
defined below), be equal to the lower of
(x) the Conversion Price which would have
been applicable for a Conversion
occurring on the Announcement Date and (y)
the Conversion Price that would
otherwise be in effect. From and after the
Adjusted Conversion Price Termination
Date, the Conversion Price shall be
determined as set forth in this Section
1.2(a). For purposes hereof, "Adjusted
Conversion Price Termination Date" shall
mean, with respect to any proposed
transaction or tender offer (or takeover
scheme) for which a public announcement as
contemplated by this Section 1.2(b)
has been made, the date upon which the
Borrower (in the case of clause (i)
above) or the person, group or entity (in
the case of clause (ii) above)
consummates or publicly announces the
termination or abandonment of the proposed
transaction or tender offer (or takeover
scheme) which caused this Section
1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3
Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period
the
conversion right exists, the Borrower will
reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number
of shares, free from preemptive
rights, to provide for the issuance of
Common Stock upon the full conversion of
this Note and the other Notes issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The
Borrower is required at all times to have
authorized and reserved two times the
number of shares that is actually issuable
upon full conversion of the Notes
(based on the Conversion Price of the Notes
or the Exercise Price of the
Warrants in effect from time to time) (the
"Reserved Amount"). The Reserved
Amount shall be increased from time to time
in accordance with the Borrower's
obligations pursuant to Section 4(h) of the
Purchase Agreement. The Borrower
represents that upon issuance, such shares
will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. In addition,
if the Borrower shall issue any
securities or make any change to its
capital structure which would change the
number of shares of Common Stock into which
the Notes shall be convertible at
the then current Conversion Price, the
Borrower shall at the same time make
proper provision so that thereafter there
shall be a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock authorized and reserved,
free from preemptive rights, for
conversion of the outstanding Notes. The
Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has
irrevocably instructed its transfer agent
to issue certificates for the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance
of this Note shall constitute full
authority to its officers and agents who are
charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for shares of Common
Stock in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Note.
If, at any
time a Holder of this Note submits a Notice of Conversion, and
the Borrower does not have sufficient
authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock available to effect such conversion
in accordance with the provisions of
this Article I (a "Conversion Default"),
subject to Section 4.8, the Borrower
shall issue to the Holder all of the shares
of Common Stock which are then
available to effect such conversion. The
portion of this Note which the Holder
included in its Conversion Notice and which
exceeds the amount which is then
convertible into available shares of Common
Stock (the "Excess Amount") shall,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, not be convertible
into Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof until (and at the Holder's
option at any time after) the date
additional shares of Common Stock are
authorized by the Borrower to permit such
conversion, at which time the
Conversion Price in respect thereof shall
be the lesser of (i) the Conversion
Price on the Conversion Default Date (as
defined below) and (ii) the Conversion
Price on the Conversion Date thereafter
elected by the Holder in respect
thereof. In addition, the Borrower shall
pay to the Holder payments ("Conversion
Default Payments") for a Conversion Default
in the amount of (x) the sum of (1)
4
<PAGE>
the then outstanding principal amount of
this Note plus (2) accrued and unpaid
interest on the unpaid principal amount of
this Note through the Authorization
Date (as defined below) plus (3) Default
Interest, if any, on the amounts
referred to in clauses (1) and/or (2),
multiplied by (y) .24, multiplied by (z)
(N/365), where N = the number of days from
the day the holder submits a Notice
of Conversion giving rise to a Conversion
Default (the "Conversion Default
Date") to the date (the "Authorization
Date") that the Borrower authorizes a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
to effect conversion of the full
outstanding principal balance of this Note.
The Borrower shall use its best
efforts to authorize a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock as soon as
practicable following the earlier of (i)
such time that the Holder notifies the
Borrower or that the Borrower otherwise
becomes aware that there are or likely
will be insufficient authorized and
unissued shares to allow full conversion
thereof and (ii) a Conversion Default. The
Borrower shall send notice to the
Holder of the authorization of additional
shares of Common Stock, the
Authorization Date and the amount of
Holder's accrued Conversion Default
Payments. The accrued Conversion Default
Payments for each calendar month shall
be paid in cash or shall be convertible
into Common Stock (at such time as there
are sufficient authorized shares of Common
Stock) at the applicable Conversion
Price, at the Borrower's option, as
follows:
(a) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in cash,
cash
payment shall be made to Holder by the
fifth (5th) day of the month following
the month in which it has accrued; and
(b) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in Common
Stock,
the Holder may convert such payment amount
into Common Stock at the Conversion
Price (as in effect at the time of
conversion) at any time after the fifth day
of the month following the month in which
it has accrued in accordance with the
terms of this Article I (so long as there
is then a sufficient number of
authorized shares of Common Stock).
The
Holder's election shall be made in writing to the Borrower at any
time
prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York
time, on the third day of the month
following the month in which Conversion
Default payments have accrued. If no
election is made, the Holder shall be
deemed to have elected to receive cash.
Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's
right to pursue actual damages (to the
extent in excess of the Conversion Default
Payments) for the Borrower's failure
to maintain a sufficient number of
authorized shares of Common Stock, and each
holder shall have the right to pursue all
remedies available at law or in equity
(including degree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief).
1.4 Method
of Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note
may
be converted by the Holder in whole or in
part at any time from time to time
after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to
the Borrower a Notice of Conversion
(by facsimile or other reasonable means of
communication dispatched on the
Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New
York, New York time) and (B) subject to
Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at
the principal office of the Borrower.
5
<PAGE>
(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything
to
the contrary set forth herein, upon
conversion of this Note in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this
Note to the Borrower unless the entire
unpaid principal amount of this Note is
so converted. The Holder and the Borrower
shall maintain records showing the
principal amount so converted and the dates
of such conversions or shall use
such other method, reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and the Borrower, so as
not to require physical surrender of this
Note upon each such conversion. In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such
records of the Borrower shall be
controlling and determinative in the
absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any portion of this Note
is converted as aforesaid, the Holder
may not transfer this Note unless the
Holder first physically surrenders this
Note to the Borrower, whereupon the
Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver
upon the order of the Holder a new Note of
like tenor, registered as the Holder
(upon payment by the Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may request,
representing in the aggregate the remaining
unpaid principal amount of this
Note. The Holder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of
this paragraph, following conversion
of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and
unconverted principal amount of this
Note represented by this Note may be less
than the amount stated on the face
hereof.
(c) Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay
any
tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property on conversion
of this Note in a name other than that of
the Holder (or in street name), and
the Borrower shall not be required to issue
or deliver any such shares or other
securities or property unless and until the
person or persons (other than the
Holder or the custodian in whose street
name such shares are to be held for the
Holder's account) requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the
Borrower the amount of any such tax or
shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax
has been paid.
(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by
the
Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile
transmission (or other reasonable means
of communication) of a Notice of Conversion
meeting the requirements for
conversion as provided in this Section 1.4,
the Borrower shall issue and deliver
or cause to be issued and delivered to or
upon the order of the Holder
certificates for the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion within two (2)
business days after such receipt (and,
solely in the case of conversion of the
entire unpaid principal amount hereof,
surrender of this Note) (such second
business day being hereinafter referred to
as the "Deadline") in accordance with
the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement
(including, without limitation, in
accordance with the requirements of Section
2(g) of the Purchase Agreement that
certificates for shares of Common Stock
issued on or after the effective date of
the Registration Statement upon conversion
of this Note shall not bear any
restrictive legend).
6
<PAGE>
(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt
by
the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the
Holder shall be deemed to be the
holder of record of the Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion, the
outstanding principal amount and the amount
of accrued and unpaid interest on
this Note shall be reduced to reflect such
conversion, and, unless the Borrower
defaults on its obligations under this
Article I, all rights with respect to the
portion of this Note being so converted
shall forthwith terminate except the
right to receive the Common Stock or other
securities, cash or other assets, as
herein provided, on such conversion. If the
Holder shall have given a Notice of
Conversion as provided herein, the
Borrower's obligation to issue and deliver
the certificates for Common Stock shall be
absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of the absence of any action
by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any
provision thereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any person or any action
to enforce the same, any failure or
delay in the enforcement of any other
obligation of the Borrower to the holder
of record, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination,
or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder of any obligation to the Borrower,
and irrespective of any other circumstance
which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in
connection with such conversion. The
Conversion Date specified in the Notice of
Conversion shall be the Conversion
Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is
received by the Borrower before 6:00
p.m., New York, New York time, on such
date.
(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of
delivering physical certificates
representing the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion, provided the Borrower's
transfer agent is participating in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast
Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST")
program, upon request of the Holder and its
compliance with the provisions
contained in Section 1.1 and in this
Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its
best efforts to cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion to the
Holder by crediting the account of
Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
("DWAC") system.
(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without
in
any way limiting the Holder's right to
pursue other remedies, including actual
damages and/or equitable relief, the
parties agree that if delivery of the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note is more than two (2) days
after the Deadline (other than a failure
due to the circumstances described in
Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be
governed by such Section) the Borrower
shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in
cash, for each day beyond the Deadline
that the Borrower fails to deliver such
Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be
paid to Holder by the fifth day of the
month following the month in which it has
accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by
written notice to the Borrower by
the first day of the month following the
month in which it has accrued), shall
be added to the principal amount of this
Note, in which event interest shall
accrue thereon in accordance with the terms
of this Note and such additional
principal amount shall be convertible into
Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of this Note.
1.5
Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note may not be sold or
transferred unless (i) such shares
are sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act or (ii)
the Borrower or its transfer agent shall
have been furnished with an opinion of
counsel (which opinion shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that the shares to
be sold or transferred may be sold or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration or (iii) such shares are
sold or transferred pursuant to Rule
144 under the Act (or a successor rule)
("Rule 144") or (iv) such shares are
transferred to an "affiliate" (as defined
in Rule 144) of the Borrower who
agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the
shares only in accordance with this
Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited
Investor (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in
the Purchase Agreement (and subject
to the removal provisions set forth below),
until such time as the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note have been registered under
the Act as contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement or otherwise may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restriction as to the number of securities
as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, each certificate for
shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note that has not been
so included in an effective registration
statement or that has not been sold
pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an exemption that permits
removal of the legend, shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form,
as appropriate:
7
<PAGE>
"THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED
UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN
FORM,
SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN
COMPARABLE
TRANSACTIONS, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT
UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT
TO RULE 144 OR REGULATION S UNDER SAID ACT."
The legend
set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue
to the Holder a new certificate therefor
free of any transfer legend if (i) the
Borrower or its transfer agent shall have
received an opinion of counsel, in
form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions, to the effect that a public
sale or transfer of such Common Stock
may be made without registration under the
Act and the shares are so sold or
transferred, (ii) such Holder provides the
Borrower or its transfer agent with
reasonable assurances that the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this
Note (to the extent such securities are
deemed to have been acquired on the same
date) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or
(iii) in the case of the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note, such
security is registered for sale by
the Holder under an effective registration
statement filed under the Act or
otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the
number of securities as of a particular
date that can then be immediately sold.
Nothing in this Note shall (i) limit the
Borrower's obligation under the
Registration Rights Agreement or (ii)
affect in any way the Holder's obligations
to comply with applicable prospectus
delivery requirements upon the resale of
the securities referred to herein.
1.6 Effect
of Certain Events.
(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the
Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition
of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by
the Borrower of a transaction or
series of related transactions in which
more than 50% of the voting power of the
Borrower is disposed of, or the
consolidation, merger or other bus
