This Amended and Restated Line of Credit and Loan Agreement (this "Note") is the Note referred to in the Intellectual Property Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of November 28, 2005 between Borrowers and Lender (the "IP PURCHASE AGREEMENT"). Pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement, Borrowers agreed to assume the liabilities and obligations of Web Internet, LLC ("WEB INTERNET") under a Line of Credit and Loan Agreement dated as of January 1, 2003 between Lender and Web Internet, as amended by an Amended Loan Agreement dated as of August 31, 2004 and a First Amendment to Amended Loan Agreement dated as of December 14, 2004 (collectively, as amended and restated hereby and from time to time hereafter, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"). This Note amends and supersedes the Loan Agreement. 1. INTEREST RATE. This Note shall bear simple interest at a fixed annual rate of Three Percent (3.0%). 2. PAYMENTS. The principal balance and accrued interest of this Note shall be due and payable in the amounts and on or before the dates set forth on Schedule A to this Note, which schedule is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Any and all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on December 1, 2008 (the "MATURITY DATE"). All payments due hereunder shall be made to the holder of this Note in United States Dollars and shall be in the form of immediately available funds acceptable to the holder of this Note. 3. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments received by Lender from or for the account of Borrowers due hereunder shall be applied by Lender in the following manner: First: To pay any and all costs, advances, late charges, expenses or fees due, owing and/or payable to Lender, or paid or incurred by Lender, arising from or out of this and any and all other instruments, agreements (including the Pledge and Security Agreement of even date herewith between Borrowers and Lender (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT") and documents executed in connection with or otherwise pertaining to this Note; Second: Payment of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Note; and 1 Third: Payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note. All records of payments received by Lender shall be maintained at Lender's address as set forth above, and the records of Lender shall, absent manifest error, be binding and conclusive upon Borrowers. The failure of Lender to record any payment or expenses shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers under this Note. 4. UNPAID CHARGES AND COSTS; LATE CHARGES. Borrowers acknowledge that if any payment required under this Note is not received by Lender within thirty (30) calendar days after the same becomes due and payable, Lender will incur extra administrative expenses (i.e., in addition to expenses incident to receipt of timely payment) and the loss of the use of funds in connection with the delinquency in payment. Because the actual damages suffered by Lender by reason of such administrative expenses and loss of use of funds would be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain, Borrowers agrees that five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment shall be the amount of damages which Lender is entitled to receive upon such breach, in compensation therefor. Therefore, Borrowers shall, in such event, without further demand or notice, pay to Lender, as Lender's monetary recovery for such extra administrative expenses and loss of use of funds, liquidated damages in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to govern only the determination of damages in the event of a breach in the performance of Borrowers to make timely payments hereunder. Nothing in this Note shall be construed as in any way giving Borrowers the right, express or implied, to fail to make timely payments hereunder, whether upon payment of such damages or otherwise. The right of Lender to receive payment of such liquidated and actual damages, and receipt thereof, are without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect such delinquent payments and any other amounts provided to be paid hereunder, or to declare a Default hereunder. 5. HOLIDAYS. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday generally recognized by banks doing business in California or Georgia, then the due date for such payment shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding business day. 6. OFFSETS AND DEDUCTIONS. All payments under the Note shall be made by Borrowers without any offset, decrease, reduction or deduction of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any decrease, reduction or deduction for, or on account of, any offset, withholdings, present or future taxes, present or future reserves, imposts or duties of any kind or nature, unless a deduction is required by law. 7. DEFAULT. Any one or more of the following events or occurrences shall constitute a default under this Note (hereinafter "DEFAULT"): (a) A failure by the Borrowers to make a payment of the principal or interest of this Note within ten (10) calendar days after the same shall become due and payable; 2 (b) If Borrowers shall (1) commence any proceeding or other action relating to it in bankruptcy or seek reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of its debts, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, composition or any other relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or under any other insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or any other similar act or law, of any jurisdiction; or (2) admit the material allegations of any petition or pleading in connection with any such proceeding; or (3) apply for, or consent or acquiesce to, the appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee or similar officer for it or for all or a substantial part of its property; or (4) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (5) be unable, or admit in writing that it is unable, to pay its debts as they mature; or (6) have any of the foregoing proceedings commenced against it by a third party and such proceeding or proceedings are not stayed, dismissed or vacated within thirty (30) days; (c) The occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined in the Security Agreement; (d) If any representation, warranty or certification made by Borrowers in the IP Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect; or (e) If Borrowers shall default in the due observance or performance of any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by Borrowers pursuant to this Note, the IP Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, declare the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all other amounts and/or payments due hereunder, immediately due and payable, without notice and/or demand. 8. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The obligations of Borrowers under and pursuant to this Note are secured by a lien on the Collateral as that term is defined in the Security Agreement. 9. PREPAYMENT. Borrowers may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note without penalty; provided that written notice of prepayment is received by Lender concurrently therewith. 10.
