organized by Defendant(s), and each of them, as a device to avoid individual
liability and for the purpose of substituting financially irresponsible

8
corporations in the place and stead of said individual Defendant(s), and each
9
of them, and accordingly, each ALTER EGO CORPORATION was formed

10
11
12
13
14
15
with capitalization totally inadequate for the business in which said

corporation was engaged.
f. Plaintiff(s) are informed and believe and thereon allege that each ALTER
EGO CORPORATION is insolvent.
g. By virtue of the foregoing, adherence to the fiction of the separate corporate
16
existence of each of the ALTER EGO CORPORATIONS would, under the
17
circumstances, sanction a fraud and promote injustice in that Plaintiff(s)
18
would be unable to realize upon any judgment in their favor.
19
14. The Plaintiff(s) is/are informed and believe(s), and thereon allege(s), that Defendant(s), and

12
amount of One Million Eight Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-
13
Three USD and Eighty-Two Cents ($1,863,382.82);
14
15
NOTE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT contains a typographical error in that the NOTE
16
is for $63,828,383.62 USD and that this complaint is NOT for that amount listed in said
17
note;
18
19
NOTE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT in an amount of $1,863,382.82 required the
20
Defendant(s) and each of them to make monthly payments in the amount of Three

22
annum commencing June 30, 2015;

31. DEMAND was made to PIR for the payment on the NOTE in January, April and June of
2016 (copies of the DEMAND are attached hereto as Exhibit B);
32. Plaintiff(s) are informed and believe that an agreement had been reached to pay for the
reconstruction and operation of the 70-mile Desert Line railway in southeastern San Diego
County that connects Mexico maquiladoras to rail shipping in the United States. The
landmark agreement between Pacific Imperial Railroad (PIR) and Baja California Railroad
(hereinafter Baja Rail) provided for economic payments directly to PIR in the amounts of
One Million USD ($1,000,000.00) for three months starting July 2016 and ending in
September 2016;
10
33. Plaintiff(s) are informed and believe that the investment from Baja Rail was so that PIR
11
could make lease payments to the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (hereinafter

14
knew of the default on the NOTE when he entered into negotiations with Baja Rail knowing
15
that the payments were due;
16
17
defrauded Baja Rail with its request for the investment(s), knowing that PIR would not use
18

21
pay the debts of PIR, specifically, to the Plaintiff(s) in this action;

CAUSES OF ACTION
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
FRAUD
(Plaintiff(s) against all Defendant(s), and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive)
6
7
37. Plaintiff hereby incorporates in the preceding paragraphs by this reference information
contained and the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 35 as though set forth
fully at this point, and each and every part thereof with the same force and effect as if set
10
11
12
13
forth herein at length;

38. Plaintiff made a good faith effort to resolve the monies lent to the Defendant(s), and each
of them, by providing the NOTE for payment, to be paid in a reasonable time, to which
the Defendant(s), and each of them have failed to pay;
14
39. In reliance on the above representations, Plaintiff agreed to assist the Defendants with
15
16
17
18
their efforts to expand and obtain outside financing from Baja Rail;
40. In furtherance of Plaintiff(s) faith and trust in Defendant(s), and each of them, Plaintiff
agreed to seek to secure funding for the Defendants, to arrange for loans of money to
19
benefit the individual Defendants, and to take a passive role in the activities of Pacific
20
Imperial Railroad and to otherwise act in the best interests in the Defendant(s), and each
21
of them;
22
41. At the time of the misrepresentations and omissions referenced herein, Defendants were
23
aware that such misrepresentations and omissions were taking place, and allowed them to
24
take place because they were co-founders, directors, officers and alter egos of PACIFIC
25
IMPERIAL RAILROAD, and benefited from the misrepresentations and omissions set
26
27
forth herein.
42. Plaintiff(s) are informed and believe that Defendant Alemany negotiated a sublease
28
with Baja Rail with a cash infusion of $3,000,000 US into the operations account of PIR.
9
1
2
3
4
The money was supposed to go to existing lease payments to the MTS and the balance to
the LOCATI NOTE. In reliance on this, LOCATI withheld its demand and process of
litigation until such time LOCATI learned that Alemany has diverted the funds for other
uses not in compliance with the disclosures made;
43. By reason of said misrepresentations and fraudulent concealment as alleged herein,

6
Plaintiffs have been damaged in an amount presently unascertained, but within the
7
8
9
jurisdiction of this Court. Plaintiffs will seek leave of this Court to amend this Complaint
when the sum has been ascertained;
10
44. In doing the acts herein alleged, Defendant(s), and each of their conduct was willful and
11
intentional, and done in reckless disregard of the possible results. Defendant(s) conduct
12
evidenced a conscious disregard of the Plaintiff(s) rights, and exhibited a particularly
13
malicious intent in light of the Defendant(s) knowledge of Plaintiff(s) financial status,
14
activities, and efforts. By reason thereof, Plaintiffs are entitled to exemplary and punitive
15
damages against Defendants, and each of them.
16
17
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
18
19
BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY

20
21
22
23
24
25

46. Plaintiff and Defendant share a relationship whereby:
26
a. Plaintiff reposes trust and confidence in Defendant, and

27
b. Defendant undertakes such trust and assumes a duty to advise, counsel

28
and/or protect Plaintiff

10
1
2
3
4
47. California Civil Code section 3333 provides that [f]or the breach of an obligation not
arising from contract, the measure of damages, . . . is the amount which will compensate
for all the detriment proximately caused thereby, whether it could have been anticipated
or not.
48. Defendants breached their fiduciary duty to Plaintiff by unlawfully retaining the funds
6
they agreed to pay to Plaintiff. The Agreement implied an agency-type relationship in

7
8
9
that Defendants were to act in good faith when dealing with third party debtors to further
the PIRs goal of paying back initial investors, specifically, LOCATI. A fiduciary
10
relationship is any relation existing between parties to a transaction wherein one of the
11
parties is in duty bound to act with the utmost good faith for the benefit of the other party.
12
Such a relation ordinarily arises where a confidence is reposed by one person in the
13
integrity of another, and in such a relation the party in whom the confidence is reposed, if
14
he voluntarily accepts or assumes to accept the confidence, can take no advantage from
15
his acts relating to the interest of the other party without the latters knowledge or
16
consent. Wolf v. Superior Court (2003) 107 Cal.App.4th 25, 29;
17
18
19
49. Defendants implicitly agreed to act in good faith when Defendants received from
debtors the funds that were received from Baja Rail and other investors because the
Defendant(s), and each of them, have no current income from operations and have been
20
working on investor original funding;

21
22
23
24
25
50. Defendants repeated failure to timely respond to the Plaintiffs repeated requests for
Reports, funds, and other materials under the Agreement and rightfully the property of the
Plaintiff constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty;
51. Defendants breach of fiduciary duty caused damages to Plaintiff in that Plaintiff has
26
been deprived their funds that have been mishandled by Defendant(s), and each of them;
27
52. Defendants breach caused Plaintiff to be deprived of the opportunity to convert the debt
28
into shares of stock for value and deprived the Plaintiff from the use of the funds.

11
Furthermore, Defendants breach caused harm to numerous investors in that they could
not receive the funds they were owed under separate agreements that made part of the
total investment into PIR. The damages amounted to a sum of at least One Million Eight
Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Three USD and Eighty-Two
Cents ($1,863,382.82);
6
53. Defendant(s), and each of them, used the debt owed to the Plaintiffs as a bargaining tool
7
for obtaining funding from Baja Rail and to obtain a secret profit by unlawfully detaining
the funds it received from Baja Rail. Defendants retention of secret profits damaged
9
10
Plaintiff in the total sum of at least One Million Eight Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand
11
Three Hundred and Eighty-Three USD and Eighty-Two Cents ($1,863,382.82).
12
54.
Plaintiff(s) are able and demand Punitive Damages which may be recovered for an
13
intentional breach of fiduciary duty under California Civil Code Section 3333 and
14
California Civil Code Section 3294;
15
16
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT
17
18
19
20
21
22
herein at length;
23
56. California Civil Code Section 1550 provides that [i]t is essential to the existence of a
24
contract that there should be: 1) Parties capable of contracting; 2) Their consent; 3) A
25
lawful object; and, 4) A sufficient cause or consideration.
26
27
28
57. At all relevant times, Plaintiff has performed all conditions, covenants, obligations and
promises required by their part to be performed in accordance with the terms and
conditions under the NOTE;
12
1
2
3
4
58. On January 3, 2016, Defendant(s), and each of them failed to make the payment of One
Million Eight Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Three USD and
Eighty-Two Cents ($1,863,382.82), plus interest less credits for the payments made;
59. The NOTE has a definition of Events of Default, whereby in section 8. Events of
Default: (c) the failure of the Company to pay to the Holder any of the monthly payments
6
when due, or pay on the Maturity Date, any and all amounts due and owing under the
7
8
9
10
11
12
Note;
60. In the Event of a Default, which has occurred in this matter, the NOTE carries an interest
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum;
61. Defendant(s) and each of them have failed to pay the amount owed on the NOTE when it
matured or after any of the three (3) notices of default;
13
62. By reason of Defendant(s) and each of them, breach of said NOTE as herein alleged, the
14
Plaintiff(s) have suffered damages in the sum of One Million Eight Hundred Sixty-Three
15
Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Three USD and Eighty-Two Cents ($1,863,382.82)
16
plus interest of ten percent (10%) for a total amount to be determined at trial;
17
18
19
63. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant(s), and each of them, breach of the NOTE,
Plaintiff has suffered contractual damages under the terms and conditions of the NOTE
that will continue, plus interest and other incidental damages and out-of-pocket expenses,
20
all in the sum to be determined according to proof at the time of trial;

21
22
23
24
64. By the terms of said written agreement, the Plaintiff(s) is entitled to recover reasonable
attorney fees incurred in the enforcement of the provisions of the agreement. By reason of
the aforementioned breach of the Defendant(s), and each of them, the Plaintiff(s) has been
25
forced to secure the services of the legal firm of THE LAW OFFICES OF JOSEPH M.
26
HOATS to prosecute this lawsuit;

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION FOR BREACH OF THE IMPLIED COVENANT
2
3
OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING

4
5
6
7
8
9
10
66. As a result of the contractual relationships (detailed in the first cause of action) which existed
11
between Plaintiff(s) and the Defendant(s), and each of them, respectively, on the one hand,
12
and Defendants, on the other hand, the expressed and implied promises made in connection
13
with those relationships, and the acts, conduct, and communications resulting in these implied
14
promises, Defendants promised to act in good faith toward and deal fairly with Plaintiffs
15
LOCATI which requires, among other things:
16
17
18
19
a. Each party in the relationship must act with good faith toward the other
concerning all matters related to the agreements described herein;
b. Each party in the relationship must act with fairness toward the other concerning
all matters related to their agreements;
20
c. Neither party would take any action to unfairly prevent the other from obtaining
21
the benefits of their agreements;

22
23
24
25
26
d. Defendant(s), and each of them, specifically, PACIFIC IMPERIAL RAILROAD

and ALEMANY would comply with their own representations in dealing with
Plaintiff LOCATI under their contractual agreements, as set forth in the first
cause of action;
27
e. Defendants PACIFIC IMPERIAL RAILROAD and ALEMANY would not
28
disregard the NOTE signed in favor of Plaintiff LOCATI without a fair and
honest cause, regulated by good faith on Defendant(s), and each of them, part;
14
1
2
3
4
5
f. Defendants PACIFIC IMPERIAL RAILROAD and ALEMANY would not

disregard the NOTE signed in favor of Plaintiff LOCATI in an unfair manner;
and
g. Defendants PACIFIC IMPERIAL RAILROAD and ALEMANY would give
Plaintiffs interests as much consideration as they gave their own interests;
67. Defendant(s), and each of them, breaches of each of their written contracts with Plaintiffs were
7
8
9
10
11
12
wrongful, in bad faith, and unfair, and therefore a violation of Defendants(s), and each of them,
legal duties. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants breached the covenant of good faith and
fair dealings when they:
a. Repeatedly refused to abide by their own promises when dealing with Plaintiff
LOCATI
13
b. Repeatedly denied the existence of their contracts with Plaintiff LOCATI;
14
c. Unfairly prevented Plaintiff LOCATI from obtaining the benefits of his
15
16
17
18
19
relationship with the defendants;

d. Disregard the NOTE signed in favor of Plaintiff LOCATIs affiliation with
Defendant(s) for invalid reasons and in a manner that was inconsistent with
Defendants(s), and each of their legal obligations;
e. Refused to comply with the payment obligations to Plaintiff, and;
20
f. Failed and refused to repay money advanced to the Company for the benefit of
21
the Defendant(s), and each of them, which money was advanced by Plaintiff, and
22
23
24
25
due to Plaintiff, solely upon Plaintiff(s) reasonable reliance on the false

representations of the Defendant(s), and each of them;
68. Defendant(s), and each of them, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing was a
26
substantial factor in causing damage and injury to Plaintiffs. As a direct and proximate result of

hereunder, plus accrued unpaid interest thereon and any charges pertaining thereto, shall
become due and payable on January 2, 2016.

Conversion Rate. The outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest
on this Note shall, at the Holder's sole option, convert into equity of the Company at the
Conversion Price, at any time before the Maturity Date by providing five (5) days notice to the
Company. The "Conversion Price" shall be $0.89 per share of common stock of the Company.
(b)
Manner of Conversion. The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the
common stock into which this Note converts as of the date of the conversion described above,
and shall have all of the rights to which the Holder is entitled as holder of common stock. To
receive a certificate representing the common stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the
Company. As soon as practicable after the surrender of this Note, the Company shall (i) issue
and deliver to the Holder a certificate for the number of common stock issuable upon
conversion, (ii) pay to the Holder cash as provided in Section 4(d) below for any fractional shares

hereunder.

Waivers. The Company hereby waives diligence, presentment for payment, demand, protest,
notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest, and any and all other notices and
demands whatsoever. The Company shall remain bound under this Note until all principal and
interest and any other amounts that are payable hereunder have been paid or converted in full,
notwithstanding any extensions or renewals granted with respect to this Note or the release of
any party liable hereunder. The Company and any and all endorsers hereof, also waive the right
to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demand on this Note or any and
all obligations or liabilities arising out of or in connection with this Note, to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
8.
Events of Default. Any of the following events shall constitute an event of default by the
Company under this Note (an "Event of Default"):
(a)
the occurrence of any default of the $2,650,000 Fletcher note dated July 2, 2015;
(c)
the failure of the Company to pay to the Holder any of the monthly payments when
due, or pay on the Maturity Date, any and all amounts due and owing under this Note;
(d)
the failure of the Company to convert this Note as set forth herein when requested by
the Holder;
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, as defined hereinabove, at Holder's option,
Holder may declare immediately due and payable, and on any such declaration there shall
become immediately due and payable, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note and any other sums owing at
the time of such declaration pursuant to this Note, and Holder shall be entitled to exercise
all rights and remedies available to Holder hereunder and under applicable law, all of which
rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the interest rate at which interest shall accrue

rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, from the date of such Event of Default until all
such amounts have been paid in full.
9.
Notice of Default of the Fletcher Note and Right to Cure. Upon the occurrence of any event

Holder's rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law, including, without limitation, the
right to accelerate amounts owing under this Note, shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or
remedy or of any other right or remedy of the Holder in respect thereof. The acceptance by the
Holder of any payment pursuant to the terms of this Note which is less than payment in full of
all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to exercise any of the Holder's rights or remedies under this Note or under applicable law
at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such rights or
Initial
Page 4
remedies without the express written consent of the Holder, except as and to the extent
provided to the contrary by applicable law.
11.
Initial
Adjustments.
(a)
In the event that the Company shall at any time after July 15, 2015: (i) declare a
dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding common stock payable in shares of
its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding common stock into a greater number of
shares of common stock, (iii) combine the outstanding common stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the
common stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation}, then, in each case, the
Conversion Price of this Note in effect at the time of the record date for the
determination of Stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or of the
effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification shall be adjusted so
that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock
outstanding immediately prior to such action, and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such action.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur
and shall become effective at the close of business on such record date or at the close of
business on the date immediately preceding such effective date, as applicable.
(b)
All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(c)
In any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the number of
common shares be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the
Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, if
the Holder converted this Note after such record date, the common shares, if any,
issuable upon such conversion over and above the number of common shares issuable
upon such conversion on the basis of the number of shares of common stock in effect
prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the
Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder's right to
receive such additional shares of common stock upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment.
(d)
Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Section 11, the Company
shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter cause written notice thereof to be sent by
registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, at its address as it shall appear in the
Convertible Note Register, which notice shall be accompanied by an officer's certificate
setting forth the number of common shares issuable and the Conversion Price thereof
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and the computation thereof, which officer's certificate shall be conclusive
evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment absent manifest error.
(e)
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of common stock or
other capital stock of the Company upon the conversion of this Note. If any fraction of a
Page 5
share of common stock would be issuable on the conversion of this Note (or specified
portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal
to the same fraction of the Conversion Price.
12.
(f)
No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than
Five Cents ($0.05); provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
Section 11 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment.
(g)
Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section l1(a), the number of
shares of common stock purchasable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted to
the number of shares of common stock, calculated to the nearest one hundredth of a
share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares of common stock purchasable
immediately prior to such adjustment upon the conversion of this Note by the
Conversion Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained
by the new Conversion Price.
Reclassification; Reorganization; Merger.

(a)
Initial
In case of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases referred to in Section l1(a)
hereof, or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation
(other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares
of common stock or the conversion of such outstanding shares of common stock into
shares of other stock or other securities or property), or in the case of any sale, lease, or
conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of any nature of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (such actions being hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Reorganizations"), there shall thereafter be deliverable upon
conversion of this Note (in lieu of the number of common shares theretofore
deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a
holder of the respective number of common shares which would otherwise have been
deliverable upon the conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such
Reorganization if this Note had been exercised in full immediately prior to such
Reorganization. In case of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be made in the application
of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder
so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
possible, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise
of this Note. Any such adjustment shall be made by, and set forth in, a supplemental
agreement between the Company, or any successor thereto, and the Holder, with
respect to this Note, and shall for all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an
appropriate adjustment. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless,
upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation, or if the
Company shall be the surviving corporation in any such Reorganization and is not the
issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to be delivered to holders of
shares of the common stock outstanding at the effective time thereof, then such issuer,
shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of
stock, securities, cash, or other property as the Holder shall be entitled to purchase in
Page 6
accordance with the foregoing provisions. In the event of sale, lease, or conveyance or
other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as part of a plan for
liquidation of the Company, all rights to conversion of this Note shall terminate thirty
(30) days after the Company gives written notice to the Holder that such sale or
conveyance or other transfer has been consummated.
13.
(b)
In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note (other than a change in par value or from a specified par value
to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change
in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in case of any
consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change
(including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the shares of
common stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the
shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Holder of this Note shall have
the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note solely the kind and amount
of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger. Thereafter,
appropriate provision shall be made for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent
as practicable to the adjustments in Section 11.
(c)
The above provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to

reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to
consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, or conveyances.
successive
successive
Notice of Certain Events. In case at any time the Company shall propose:
(a)
to pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of common stock in shares of
common stock or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash
dividends which are not in a greater amount per share than the most recent such cash
dividend) to all holders of common stock; or
(b)
to issue any rights, warrants, or other securities to all holders of common stock entitling
them to purchase any additional shares of common stock or any other rights, warrants,
or other securities; or
(c)
to effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of common stock or any

consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance of property, as described in Section
12; or
(d)
to effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company; or
(e)
to take any other action which would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Price;
then, and in anyone or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice
thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder's address,
mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to: (1) the date as of which the holders of record
Initial
Page 7
of shares of common stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution,

rights, warrants, or other securities are to be determined, (2) the date on which any
such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of common stock, consolidation,
merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is
expected to become effective and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
record of shares of common stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for
securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of
outstanding shares, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property,
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, or (3) the date of such action which would
require an adjustment to the Conversion Price.
14.
Expenses of Enforcement. The Maker agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, as a court of competent jurisdiction
shall award, which the Holder shall incur in connection with any legal action or legal proceeding
commenced for the collection of this Note or the exercise, preservation or enforcement of the
Holder's rights and remedies thereunder.
15.
Governing law. This Note shall be governed by and construed according to and enforced under
the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to its choice of laws rules.
16.
Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Without limiting the right of the Holder to bring any action or
proceeding against the Maker or against the property of the Maker arising out of or relating to
any obligation of the Maker under this Note (an "Action") in the courts of other jurisdictions, the
Maker hereby irrevocably agrees, with respect to any Actions, to submit to the jurisdiction of
any California State or Federal court, and the Maker hereby irrevocably agrees that any Action
may be heard and determined in such California State or Federal court. The Maker hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of any Action in any such court. The Maker hereby irrevocably agrees
that the summons and complaint or any other process in any Action in any jurisdiction may be
served by first-class, registered, certified or overnight mail addressed to any address specified as
a notice address for the Maker hereunder or by hand delivery to an individual person of suitable
age and discretion at any of such addresses. Such service will be complete on the date such
process is so mailed or delivered. The Maker may also be served in any other manner permitted
by law.
17.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE MAKER AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ANY OBLIGATION OF THE MAKER UNDER THIS NOTE OR ANY DOCUMENTS
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY CAUSE OF
ACTION WHATSOEVER.
18.
Binding Nature. The provisions of this Note shall be binding on the Company and shall inure to
the benefit of the Holder.
19.
Usury Savings Provisions. In the event the Holder receive any sums under this Note which
constitute interest in an amount in excess of that permitted by any applicable law, then, all such
sums constituting interest in excess of that permitted to be paid under applicable law shall, at
Initial
Page 8
the Holder's option, either be credited to the payment of principal owing hereunder or returned
to the Company.
20.
Severability. If, but only to the extent that, any provision of this Note shall be invalid or
unenforceable, then, such offending provision shall be deleted from this Note, but only to the
extent necessary to preserve the validity and effectiveness of this Note to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this 6% Convertible Secured Promissory Note and
Security Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
