TENFOLD CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to                                  (the “Holder”) the sum of $200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand Dollars) together with interest as calculated below, upon the earliest to occur of (a) (i) January 31, 2006, (ii) the closing of a Subsequent Equity Financing or (iii) a Liquidation Event, or (b) when declared due and payable by Holder subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default (each, a “Maturity Event”). A “Subsequent Equity Financing” means an equity financing in which the Company realizes total cumulative proceeds equal to or in excess of $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) in one or more equity financing transactions. A “Liquidation Event” means any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as (x) any merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company into or with another company (except one in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the surviving company), (y) any sale, license, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (z) any other transaction pursuant to or as a result of which a single person (or group of affiliated persons) acquires or holds capital stock of the Company representing a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting power.


1. Interest and Payment. This Note is one of a series of substantially identical notes (the “Bridge Notes”) issued in connection with a financing of the Company. This Note shall bear interest from the date of this Note on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the outstanding balance at the time of any payment of principal. In addition, the Company agrees to pay the additional interest specified in Section 5 upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default. Payment of the principal and interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the Holder’s address set forth in Section 13 below.

 

2. Prepayment. The Company may, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance due under this Note, provided that each such prepayment is accompanied by accrued interest on the amount of principal prepaid calculated to the date of such prepayment.

 

3. Senior Status. This Note shall rank pari passu with the other Bridge Notes, and each of the Bridge Notes (including this Note) shall rank senior in right of payment to (a) all classes and series of capital stock of the Company now existing or hereafter issued, (b) all existing indebtedness of the Company, and (c) all future indebtedness of the Company. No payment on any such existing or future indebtedness shall be made until this Note has been paid in full.

 

4. Default. If any of the events specified in this Section 4 shall occur (herein individually referred to as an “Event of Default”), the Holder of this Note may, so long as such condition exists, declare the entire principal and unpaid accrued interest hereon immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Company:

 

(a) If the Company shall have failed to pay the amount due under this Note as of the close of business, Salt Lake City time, on the second business day after the Holder’s written demand is delivered to the Company; or

 

(b) The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Act, or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

 

(c) If, (i) within sixty (60) days after the commencement of an action against the Company (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company) seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar


relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such action shall not have been dismissed or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company stayed, or (ii) the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or (iii) within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company or any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such appointment shall not have been vacated.

 

5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and so long as such Event of Default continues, the entire balance of principal together with all accrued interest shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus five percent (5%), and the Holder may exercise its rights and remedies set forth in Section 4 or any other remedies available at law or in equity. No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right.

 

6. Exchange of Note. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Note, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Note, a new Note of the same form and amount.
