the Closing Date, of all of the following conditions, any of which
may be waived in whole or in part by Lender, and all of which shall
be deemed satisfied by Lender’s execution of this
Agreement:
(a) Except for
the notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing
Date with certain federal and state securities commissions, the
Company shall have obtained all governmental approvals (including
without limitation all necessary state securities laws permits and
qualifications) required in connection with the lawful sale and
issuance of the Note.
(b) At the
Closing, the sale and issuance by the Company, and the purchase by
the Lender, of the Convertible Note shall be legally permitted by
all laws and regulations to which the Lender or the Company is
subject.
(c) All
corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions
contemplated at the Closing and all documents and instruments
incident to such transaction shall be reasonably satisfactory in
substance and form to the Lender.
(d) Prior to the
Closing, the Company shall deliver to Lender copies of (i) the
total amount of authorized, issued and outstanding shares in
Gabriel and all related entities; (ii) the total amount of options
that have been issued by Gabriel and all related entities,
including the terms of such options; (iii) the total amount of
warrants that have been issued by Gabriel and all related entities,
including the terms of such warrants; (iv) the total amount of
Gabriel stock, options and warrants owned by Elliott Broidy both
before and after the Investment, and (v) a copy of Company’s
credit agreement with the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility
with the Nebraska State Bank, entered into as of August 12, 2005
and (vi) the signed side letter referred to in Exhibit I ,
attached hereto.
3.2
Conditions to Obligations of the Company . The
Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Convertible Note
at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment, to the
Company’s satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date, of
the following conditions, any of which may be waived in whole or in
part by the Company, and all of which shall be deemed satisfied by
Company’s execution of this Agreement:
(a) Except for
the notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing
Date with certain federal and state securities commissions, the
Company shall have obtained all governmental approvals (including
without limitation all necessary state securities laws permits and
qualifications) required in connection with the lawful sale and
issuance of the Convertible Note.
(b) At the
Closing, the sale and issuance by the Company, and the purchase by
Lender, of the Convertible Note shall be legally permitted by all
laws and regulations to which the Lender or the Company is
subject.
3.3
Representations and Warranties by the Lender . Lender hereby
represents and warrants to the Company as set forth in Exhibit
D .
3.4
Representations and Warranties by the Company . The Company
hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as set forth in
Exhibit E .
3.5
Conversion Right . The Company and Lender agree that at any
time so long as the Convertible Note is outstanding, Lender has the
right to convert the Convertible Note (the “Conversion
Right”) into up to $1,000,000 worth of common stock of the
Company at a per share price of $1.00 (the “Strike
Price”). As set forth in the Convertible Note, the Company
agrees that it may prepay principal amounts owed to Lender under
this Convertible Note provided that the Company provides fifteen
(15) days written notice and confirmation of the receipt of such
notice by Lender. Lender shall be able to exercise his Conversion
Right under the Convertible Note during the period that the Company
has provided notice of its desire to prepay principal but before
such prepayment has taken place.
3.6
Antidilution . The Company and Lender agree that so long as
any amounts are owed to the Lender by the Company under this
Convertible Note, should the Company issue securities, options,
warrants or derivatives of any kind with a sale, exercise or strike
price less than One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) per share, then
the Strike Price of the Conversion Right will be reduced by the
percentage of the difference between $1.50 and the price of the
issued security, option warrant or derivative. Thus, by way of
example, if while the Convertible Note is still outstanding the
Company were to issue securities, warrants, options or derivatives
with an exercise price of $.75 — i.e. a total of 50%
(75/150) below $1.50— then the $1.00 Strike Price referred to
in Section 3.5 shall likewise be reduced by 50% - i.e. to
$.50 ($l.00*50%) per share — and Lender would therefore have
the option of converting the Convertible Note into a total of
2,000,000 shares.
In the event
that the Company shall at any time hereafter (a) pay a dividend in
Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (b)
subdivide or split its outstanding Common Stock; (c) combine its
outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; then the
number of shares to be issued immediately after the occurrence of
any such event shall be adjusted so that Lender thereafter may
still receive the same number of warrants he would have owned
immediately following such action if he had exercised the
Conversion Right immediately prior to such action and the Strike
Price of this Convertible Note set forth in Section 3.5
above shall be adjusted to reflect such
proportionate increases or decreases in the number of
shares.
3.7 Change
in Control Event . The Company shall give Lender at least
fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the date of the
consummation of any (i) reorganization, recapitalization, sale,
conveyance or other disposition of all or a majority of the
property or business of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company, (ii) merger into or consolidation of the Company or a
material subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation
(other than a wholly owned subsidiary corporation) or other
transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or (iii)
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a
“Change in Control Event”). If Lender provides to the
Company, within five days of the receipt of such notice, written
notice objecting to the consummation of such Change in Control
Event (the “Objection Notice”), then the Company shall
not consummate such Change in Control Event unless (a) the
surviving entity of such Change in Control Event (1) expressly
assumes all of the obligations specified in this Agreement and the
Note and (2) has a net worth not less than the consolidated net
worth of the Company at the time of such Change in Control Event;
or (b) the Company indefeasibly repays all of the outstanding
principal amount of and interest on the Convertible Note within
five business days after the closing date of such Change in Control
Event.
3.8
Inspection Rights . Company shall permit any authorized
representatives designated by Lender to visit and inspect any of
the properties of Company, to inspect, copy and take extracts from
its financial and accounting records, and to discuss its affairs,
finances and accounts with its officers and independent public
accountants (provided that Company may, if it so chooses, be
present at or participate in any such discussion), all upon
reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal
business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested. Lender
shall not use any information obtained under this Agreement for any
purpose that is not reasonably related to performance of the
respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, such
rights and obligations including but not limited to repayment of
the Convertible Note.
3.9
Restriction on Fundamental Changes . The Company shall not
take any action that may reasonably be expected to have an adverse
effect on the Company’s ability to repay the Convertible Note
and any accrued interest thereon when and as due without the prior
written permission of Lender.
3.10
Restriction on Additional Debt . Other than the
Company’s Revolving Credit Facility with the Nebraska State
Bank, entered into as of August 12, 2005, so long as the
Convertible Note is outstanding Lender shall have priority in
payment of principal and interest as against any other promissory
notes or indebtedness of the Company. The Company shall provide
Lender with fifteen days prior notice before incurring any
subordinated debt. Any such subordinated debt must be preapproved
by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
3.11
No Public Statement . Lender and the Company shall not issue
any public statement concerning the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement without written consent of the parties named in such
public statement.
4.1 General

Lender shall receive a priority security interest in all of the
assets and intellectual property of(i) the Company and (ii)
Resilent LLC dba Digital Defense (the “Security

promptly perfect Lender’s Security Interest in such assets
and intellectual property.
4.2 Pledge
of Securities . In addition to the Security Interest set forth
in Paragraph 4.1 above, as additional security for repayment of the
full principal amount of the Note plus interest the Company shall
pledge to Lender (i) all of the securities in the possession,
custody or control of Company after its transaction with Resilent
LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company, scheduled to take place
on or about January 11, 2006 and Company will also forward to

Agent to transfer to Lender stock certificates sufficient to
transfer the full amount of the Pledged Securities to Lender,
together with documentation sufficient to transfer all associated
stock powers to Lender in the event that the Company defaults under
this Convertible Note.
After Closing, title to and ownership of the
Pledged Securities shall remain with the Company unless and until
the Convertible Note is paid off in full. In the event that the
Convertible Note is not paid off in full upon the Maturity Date,
however, title to and ownership of the Pledged Securities shall
automatically transfer to Lender and the Company shall document and
effectuate such transfer, including the transfer of all associated
stock powers, of the registered securities within five (5)

immediately cease upon (i) the Company’s repayment of all

Convertible Note or (ii) Lender’s exercise of the Conversion

GABRIEL TECHNOLOGIES
CORP.
CONVERTIBLE SENIOR
PROMISSORY NOTE
|
$1,000,000
|
Los Angeles, California
January 6, 2006
|
1.
Principal and Interest . Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Gabriel Technologies Corp., (the
“Company”), a Delaware corporation, for value received,
hereby promises to pay to the order of Broidy Capital Management or
holder (“Lender”) in lawful money of the United States
at 1801 Century Park East, Suite 2150, Los Angeles, California
90067, the principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000),
together with simple interest at a rate equal to nine percent
(9.0%) per annum, which interest shall be paid to Lender for the
first three months to be paid April 1, 2006. Subsequent to such
quarterly payment, interest shall be paid by Company
monthly.
In exchange for this Convertible Senior
Promissory Note, Lender has loaned to the Company a total of One
Million Dollars $1,000,000, comprised of:
|
|
(a)
|
A Two Hundred
Thousand Dollar ($200,000) loan made by Lender on or about December
9, 2005;
|
|
|
(b)
|
Twenty Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in non-accountable
expenses to be incurred by Lender in connection with this
transaction, including but no limited to documentation costs;
and
|
|
|
(c)
|
Seven Hundred
Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($775,000) to be wired to Gabriel in
immediately available funds upon finalization and signature of this
agreement and any ancillary documents thereto.
|
The principal of this Convertible Note is due
and payable on January 6, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”),
unless this Convertible Note is earlier converted or prepaid in
accordance herewith. All interest on this Convertible Note is due
and payable on the Maturity Date.
2.
Subordination and Seniority . Other than the Company’s
Revolving Credit Facility with the Nebraska State Bank, entered
into as of August 12, 2005, so long as the Convertible Note is
outstanding Lender’s rights under the Convertible Note shall
be senior to and shall have priority in payment of principal and
interest as against any other promissory notes or indebtedness of
the Company.
3.
Conversion or Repayment . The Company and Lender agree that
at any time so long as the Convertible Note is outstanding, subject
to the Prepayment provision of Section 6 below, Lender has the
right to convert the Convertible Note (the “Conversion
Right”) into up to $1,000,000 worth of common stock of the
Company at a per share price of $1.00 (the “Strike
Price”). Lender may exercise the Conversion Right by
informing the Company either in writing or electronically that it
intends to do so.
4.
Antidilution . The Company and Lender agree that so long as
any amounts are owed to the Lender by the Company under this
Convertible Note, should the Company issue securities, options,
warrants or derivatives of any kind with an exercise or strike
price less than One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) per share, then
the Strike Price of the Conversion Right will be reduced by the
percentage of the difference between $1.50 and the
price of the issued security, option warrant or derivative. Thus,
by way of example, if while the Convertible Note is still
outstanding the Company were to issue securities, warrants, options
or derivatives with an exercise price of $.75 — i.e.
a total of 50% (75/150) below $1.50— then the
$1.00 Strike Price referred to in Section 3.5 shall
likewise be reduced by 50% - i.e. to $.50
($1.00*50%) per share — and Lender would therefore have the
option of converting the Convertible Note into a total of 2,000,000
shares.
5.
Security . To guaranty and as security for repayment of the
full principal amount of the Convertible Note plus interest, Lender
shall receive a priority security interest in all of the assets and
intellectual property of (i) the Company and (ii) Resilent LLC dba
Digital Defense (the “Security Interest”). Company and
Lender shall work together to promptly perfect Lender’s
Security Interest in such assets and intellectual
property.
As additional
security for repayment of the full principal amount of the Note
plus interest the Company shall pledge to Lender (i) all of the
securities in the possession, custody or control of Company after
its transaction with Resilent LLC, a Nebraska limited liability
company, scheduled to take place on or about January 1115, 2006 and
Company will also forward to Lender immediately upon receipt the
Unit Certificate from Resilent LLC representing 11,818 Units;. and
(ii) 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common treasury stock
(together, the “Pledged Securities”). Upon closing
Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to transfer to Lender
stock certificates sufficient to transfer the full amount of the
Pledged Securities to Lender, together with documentation
sufficient to transfer all associated stock powers to Lender in the
event that the Company defaults under this Convertible
Note.
After Closing,
title to and ownership of the Pledged Securities shall remain with
the Company unless and until this Convertible Note is paid off in
full. In the event that this Convertible Note is not paid off in
full upon the Maturity Date, however, title to and ownership of the
Pledged Securities shall automatically transfer to Lender and the
Company shall document and effectuate such transfer, including the
transfer of all associated stock powers, of the registered
securities within five (5) business days of the Maturity Date.
Transfer of the Pledged Securities to Lender shall not impinge or
limit in any way Lender’s additional rights under this
Convertible Note. Lender’s security interest in the Pledged
Securities shall immediately cease upon (i) the Company’s
repayment of all amounts, including interest, due and outstanding
under the Convertible Note or (ii) Lender’s exercise of the
