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 terms not defined in this Note are defined in the Investment 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.

 

Article 3       Unpaid Amounts

 

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
