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

1
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

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.

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..

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.

(d) The registration

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

As used in this Section 4.1, the term "Bankruptcy

Section 4.2
Remedies. In the Event of Default, the

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

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.
4
(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.
5
(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
