FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, Seawright Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and all
of its subsidiaries (the “Company”) (OTC BB: SWRI)
hereby promises to pay to the order of DUTCHESS PRIVATE
EQUITIES FUND, L.P. (the “Holder”) by the
Maturity Date, or earlier, the Face Amount of Seven Hundred and
Eighty Thousand Dollars ($780,000) U.S., (this "Note") in such
amounts, at such times and on such terms and conditions as are
specified herein (sometimes hereinafter the Company and the Holder
are referred to collectively as "the Parties").
Any capitalized

Agreement for the Equity Line of Credit between Dutchess Private
Equities Fund, LP (as the “Investor”) and the Company
(the "Equity Line"), which definitions the Company and the Holder
incorporate herein by reference.
Article
1
Method of
Payment
Section 1.1 Payments
made to the Holder by the Company in satisfaction of this Note
(referred to as a "Payment," or "Payments"). The Company shall make
payments to the Holder in the amount of the greater of a) one
hundred percent (100%) of each Put (as defined in the Investment
Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated September 12,
2005) given to the Investor from the Company; or, b) made in
monthly increments of sixty-five thousand dollars ($65,000.00) (the
“Payment Amount”) until the Face Amount is paid in
full, minus any fees due. The first Payment will be due on January
6, 2007 and each subsequent Payment will be paid on the sixth (6th)
day of each month thereafter (the "Payment Date" or "Payment
Dates"). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Note, the Company may pay in full to the Holder the Face Amount, or
any balance remaining thereon, in readily available funds at any
time and from time to time without penalty.
Section 1.2 Payments
pursuant to this Section 1.2, shall be drawn directly from the
closing of each Put and shall be wired directly to the Holder on
the Closing Date and shall be included in the calculation of the
Threshold Amount (as defined in Section 1.4, below). The Company
agrees to fully execute and diligently carry out Puts to the
Investor, on the terms set forth in the Investment Agreement. The
Company agrees that the Put Amount shall be for the maximum amount
allowed under the Investment Agreement. Further, the Company agrees
to issue Puts to the Investor for the maximum frequency allowed
under the Investment Agreement. Failure to comply with the terms of
the Investment Agreement with respect to the Puts will result in an
Event of Default as defined in this Agreement in Article
4.
Section 1.3 In order to
assist the Company in meeting its obligations under this Note, the
Company hereby authorizes the Investor to transfer funds from any
Put directly to the Holder. A Put shall be deemed closed after the
funds are transferred to the Holder.
Section 1.4 After
Closing, the Company must make a prepayment to the Holder when the
aggregate amount of financing ("Financing") received by the Company
is in excess of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000)
(“Threshold Amount”). The Company agrees to pay one
hundred percent (100%) of any proceeds raised by the Company over
the Threshold Amount toward the prepayment of the Note, Interest
and any penalties until the Face Amount is paid in full. The
prepayments shall be made to the Holder within one (1) business day
of the Company’s receipt of the Financing. Failure to do so
will result in an Event of Default. The Threshold Amount shall also
pertain to any assets sold, transferred or disposed of by the
Company and any cash balances in the Company bank or brokerage
accounts at the end of each month.
Section 1.5
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note,
within the sixty (60) days of the Issuance Date, the Company may
pay in full to the Holder ninety percent (90%) of the balance due
on the Face Amount or within ninety (90) days of the Issuance Date,
the Company may pay in full to the Holder ninety-five percent (95%)
of the balance due on the Face Amount, in readily available funds
at any time and from time to time without penalty.
Article
2
Collateral
Section 2.1 The Company
does hereby agree to issue to the Holder for use as collateral
fifty (50) signed Put Notices. In the event, each of the Put
Notices are used, the Holder uses the Collateral in full, the
Company shall immediately deliver to the Holder additional Put
Noticess as requested by the Holder..
Section 2.2 Upon the
completion of the Company's obligation to the Holder of the Face
Amount of this Note, all remaining Put Notices shall be marked
“VOID” by the Holder and returned to the Company at the
Company's request.
Section 3.1 In the event
that on the Maturity Date the Company has any remaining amounts
unpaid on this Note (the "Residual Amount"), the Holder can
exercise its right to increase the Face Amount by ten percent (10%)
as an initial penalty and an additional two and
one-half percent (2.5%) per month paid, pro rata for partial
periods, compounded daily, as liquidated damages ("Liquidated
Damages"). If a Residual Amount remains, the Company is in Default
and the Holder may elect remedies as set forth in Article 4, below.
The Parties acknowledge that Liquidated Damages are not interest
and should not constitute a penalty.
Article
4
Defaults and
Remedies
Section 4.1 Events
of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if any
one of the following occur:
(a) The Company
does not make a Payment within two (2) business days of (i) a
Payment Date; or (ii) the closing of a Put; or, (iii) a Residual
Amount on the Note exists on the Maturity Date; or
(b) The Company,
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as
hereinafter defined): (i) commences a voluntary case; (ii) consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case; (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company or for its property; (iv) makes
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) a court of
competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that: (A) is for relief against the Company in an
involuntary case; (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for
its property; or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60)
calendar days; or
(c) The
Company’s $0.001 par value common stock (the "Common Stock")
is suspended or is no longer listed on any recognized exchange,
including an electronic over-the-counter bulletin board, for in
excess of two (2) consecutive trading days; or
(d) The
registration statement for the underlying shares in the Equity Line
is not effective for any reason and is not cured within five (5)
days; or,
(e) Any of the
Company’s representations or warranties contained in this
Agreement were false when made; or,
(f) The Company
breaches this Agreement, and such breach, if and only if such
breach is subject to cure, continues for a period of five (5)
business days.
As used in this
Section 4.1, the term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11
of the United States Code or any similar federal or state law for
the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any
receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under
any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 4.2
Remedies. In the Event of Default, the Holder shall fully
enforce the Security Agreements of this date, between the Holder
and the Company and between the Holder and Joel Patrick Sens
("Sens").
For each and every
Event of Default that has not been cured within
five (5) business days, as outlined in this Agreement, the Holder
can exercise its right to increase the Face Amount of the Note by
ten percent (10%) as an initial penalty. In addition, the Holder
may elect to increase the Face Amount of the Note by two and
one-half percent (2.5%) as Liquidated Damages, compounded daily.
The Parties acknowledge that Liquidated Damages are not interest
under the terms of this Agreement, and shall not constitute a
penalty.
In an Event of a Default has occurred hereunder,
the Holder, at its sole election, shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to either:
a) Switch the
Residual Amount to a three-year (“Convertible Maturity
Date”), eighteen percent (18%) interest bearing convertible
debenture at the terms described hereinafter (the "Convertible
Debenture"). In the Event of Default, the Convertible Debenture
shall be considered closed (“Convertible Closing
Date”), as of the date of the Event of Default. If the Holder
chooses to convert the Residual Amount to a Convertible Debenture,
the Company shall have twenty (20) business days after notice of
default from the Holder (the "Notice of Convertible Debenture") to
file a registration statement covering an amount of shares equal to
three hundred percent (300%) of the Residual Amount. Such
registration statement shall be declared effective under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) within ninety (90) business days the
Convertible Closing Date. In the event the Company does not file
such registration statement within twenty (20) business days of the
Holder's request, or such registration statement is not declared
effective by the Commission under the Securities Act within the
time period described herein, the Residual Amount shall increase by
five thousand dollars ($5,000) per day. In the event the Company is
given the option for accelerated effectiveness of the registration
statement, the Company will cause such registration statement to be
declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable and will not
take any action to delay the registration to become effective. In
the event that the Company is given the option for accelerated
effectiveness of the registration statement, but chooses not to
cause such registration statement to be declared effective on such
accelerated basis, the Residual Amount shall increase by five
thousand dollars ($5,000) per day commencing on the earliest date
as of which such registration statement would have been declared to
be effective if subject to accelerated effectiveness; or
b) The Holder
may increase the Payment Amount described under Article 1 to
fulfill the repayment of the Residual Amount and the Company shall
provide full cooperation to the Holder in directing funds owed to
the Holder on any Put made by the Company to the Investor. The
Company agrees to diligently carry out the terms outlined in the
Equity Line for delivery of any such shares. In the event the
Company is not diligently fulfilling its obligation to direct funds
owed to the Holder from Puts to the Investor, as reasonably
determined by the Holder, the Holder may, after giving the Company
two (2) business days advance notice to cure the same, elect to
increase the Face Amount of the Note by 2.5% each day, compounded
daily, in additional to and on top of additional remedies available
to the Holder under this Note.
Section 4.3
Conversion Privilege
(a) The Holder
shall have the right to convert the Convertible Debenture into
shares of Common Stock at any time following the Convertible
Closing Date and before the close of business on the Convertible
Maturity Date. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of the Convertible Debenture shall be determined
pursuant to Section 4.4, but the number of shares issuable shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(b) The Holder
may convert the Convertible Debenture in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time.
(c) In the event
all or any portion of the Convertible Debenture remains outstanding
on the Convertible Maturity Date (the "Debenture Residual Amount"),
the unconverted portion of such Convertible Debenture will
automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on such date
in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.
Section 4.4
Conversion Procedure.
(a) The Holder
may elect to convert the Residual Amount in whole or in part any
time and from time to time following the Convertible Closing Date.
Such conversion shall be effectuated by providing the Company, or
its attorney, with that portion of the Convertible Debenture to be
converted together with a facsimile or electronic mail of the
signed notice of conversion (the "Notice of Conversion"). The date
on which the Notice of Conversion is effective (“Conversion
Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has
delivered to the Company a facsimile or electronically mailed the
Notice of Conversion. The Holder can elect to either reissue the
Convertible Debenture, or continually convert the existing
Debenture. Any Notice of Conversion faxed or electronically mailed
by the Holder to the Company on a particular day shall be deemed to
have been received no later than the previous business day (receipt
being via a confirmation of the time such facsimile or electronic
mail to the Company is received).
(b) Common
Stock to be Issued. Upon the conversion of any Convertible
Debentures by the Holder, the Company shall instruct its transfer
agent to issue stock certificates without restrictive legends or
stop transfer instructions, if, at that time, the aforementioned
registration statement described in Section 4.2 has been declared
effective (or with proper restrictive legends if the registration
statement has not as yet been declared effective), in specified
denominations representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion. In the event that the Debenture is
deemed saleable under Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1933, the Company shall, upon a Notice of Conversion, instruct the
transfer agent to issue free trading certificates without
restrictive legends, subject to other applicable securities laws.
The Company is responsible to for all costs associated with the
issuance of the shares, including but not limited to the opinion
letter, FedEx of the certificates and any other costs that arise.
The Company shall act as registrar of the Shares of Common Stock to
be issued and shall maintain an appropriate ledger containing the
necessary information with respect to each Convertible Debenture.
The Company warrants that no instructions have been given or will
be given to the transfer agent which limit, or otherwise prevent
resale and that the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely resold,
except as may be set forth herein or subject to applicable
law.
(c) Conversion
Rate. The Holder is entitled to convert the Debenture Residual
Amount, plus accrued interest and penalties, anytime following the
Convertible Closing Date, at the lesser of either (i) seventy-five
percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid price during the fifteen
(15) trading days immediately preceding the Notice of Conversion,
or (ii) 100% of the lowest bid price for the twenty (20) trading
days immediately preceding the Convertible Closing Date (“
Conversion Price”). No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but
the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up to the nearest
whole share.
(d) Nothing
contained in the Convertible Debenture shall be deemed to establish
or require the Company to pay interest to the Holder at a rate in
excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In the
event that the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the
maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest
required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to
the maximum rate permitted under the governing law and such excess
shall be returned with reasonable promptness by the Holder to the
Company. In the event this Section 4.4(d) applies, the Parties
agree that the terms of this Note shall remain in full force and
effect except as is necessary to make the interest rate comply with
applicable law.
(e) It shall be
the Company’s responsibility to take all necessary actions
and to bear all such costs to issue the Common Stock as provided
herein, including the responsibility and cost for delivery of an
opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required. The Holder
shall be treated as a shareholder of record on the date the Company
is required to issue the Common Stock to the Holder. If prior to
the issuance of stock certificates, the Holder designates another
person as the entity in the name of which the stock certificates
requesting the Convertible Debenture are to be issued, the Holder
shall provide to the Company evidence that either no tax shall be
due and payable as a result of such transfer or that the applicable
tax has been paid by the Holder or such person. If the Holder
converts any part of the Convertible Debentures, or will be, the
Company shall issue to the Holder a new Convertible Debenture equal
to the unconverted amount, immediately upon request by the
Holder.
(f) Within three
(3) business days after receipt of the documentation referred to in
this Section, the Company shall deliver a certificate, for the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion. In
the event the Company does not make delivery of the Common Stock as
instructed by Holder within three (3) business days after the
Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an additional
five percent (5%) per day in cash of the full dollar value of the
Debenture Residual Amount then remaining after conversion,
compounded daily.
(g) The Company
shall at all times reserve (or make alternative written
arrangements for reservation or contribution of shares) and have
available all Common Stock necessary to meet conversion of the
Convertible Debentures by the Holder of the entire amount of
Convertible Debentures then outstanding. If, at any time, the
Holder submits a Notice of Conversion and the Company does not have
sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or
alternative shares of Common Stock as may be contributed by
stockholders of the Company) available to effect, in full, a
conversion of the Convertible Debentures (a “Conversion
Default,” the date of such default being referred to herein
as the “Conversion Default Date”), the Company shall
issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are
available. Any Convertible Debentures, or any portion thereof,
which cannot be converted due to the Company's lack of sufficient
authorized common stock (the “Unconverted Debentures”),
may be deemed null a
