FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Planetlink Communications, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay M. Dewey Bain (the “Lender”), the principal sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and interest at the annual rate of fifteen percent (15%) on the unpaid balance pursuant to the following terms:
 
1.           Principal and Interest.  For value received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Lender on the date six (6) months from the date hereof, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the principal sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), together with interest on the unpaid principal of this note at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per year (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual days elapsed) from the date of this Promissory Note (the “Note”) until paid.
 
2.           Right of Prepayment. The Company at its option shall have the right to prepay, with three (3) business days advance written notice, a portion or all outstanding principal of the Note.
 
3.           Waiver and Consent.  To the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this Note.
 
4.           Costs, Indemnities and Expenses.  In the event of default as described herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the Lender in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether or not involving litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy proceedings.  The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys’ fees, penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same may be incurred.
 
5.           Event of Default.  An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason or for no reason to make any payment of the principal, interest, costs, indemnities, or expenses pursuant to this Note within fifteen (15) days of the date due as prescribed herein; (ii) failure by the Company for twenty (20) days after notice to it to satisfy any of its other obligations or requirements or comply with any of its other agreements under this Note; (iii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Lender, reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect (whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or any part of its property.  Upon an Event of Default (as defined above), the entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Lender, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at eighteen percent (18%) per year or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, if lower and the Lender shall be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it.  The company shall immediately upon default issue freely tradeable common stock to lender or preferred stock if lender agrees, at the lenders request, equivalent to principal plus interest outstanding at a 50% discount to the lowest closing bid price in the past twenty days.
 


 
6.           Maximum Interest Rate.  In no event shall any agreed to or actual interest charged, reserved or taken by the Lender as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed by California law.  In the event that the interest provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by the Lender in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Lender’s receipt thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Lender had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or prepayments.
 
7.           Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its obligations hereunder to the Lender, including, without limitation, the principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full.  Except as otherwise required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the Lender hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note.
 
8.           Severability.  If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect.  Any provision of this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
 
9.           Amendment and Waiver.  This Note may be amended, or any provision of this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by the parties hereto.  The waiver by any such party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach.
 
10.           Successors.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
 
11.           Assignment.  This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or delegable by the Company or the Lender.
