(18%) per

|
(d) |
Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein or in any other agreement
between or
among Lender and any Borrower, it is the intent of Borrowers and
Lender to
conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury
laws
from time to time in effect. All agreements between Lender and
Borrowers
are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall
override and control all agreements, between or among Lender and
any
Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether
written or
oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including, but
not
limited to, prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration
of
the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved,
contracted for, charged or received under this Note or otherwise,
exceed
the maximum non-usurious amount permissible under applicable law.
If, from
any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise
be
payable in excess of the maximum non-usurious amount, any such
construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph
and such
document shall be automatically reformed and the interest payable
shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum non-usurious amount permitted
under
applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment
or new
document. If Lender shall ever receive anything of value which
is
characterized as interest under applicable law and which would
apart from
this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful amount of interest,
an
amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest
shall,
without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the Financial Obligations
other than accrued interest or shall be refunded to Borrowers to
the
extent such amount exceeds the then-outstanding Financial Obligations
other than accrued interest. The right to accelerate maturity of
this Note
does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has
not
otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender
does not
intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event
of
acceleration. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender
shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated
and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal
or
extension) of this Note so that the amount of interest on account
of this
Note does not exceed the maximum non-usurious amount permitted
by
applicable law.
|
(e) |
All
interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for
the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the
last day)
elapsed.
|
(f) |
All
payments on the Financial Obligations are payable in lawful money
of the
United States of America in immediately available funds at Fagan
Capital
Inc., 5201 North O'Connor Blvd. Suite 440, Irving, Texas 75039,
or at such
other office as the Lender may
designate.
|

(g) |
All
information and other materials concerning Borrowers which have
been made
available by, or on behalf of Borrowers are, when considered as
a whole,
complete and correct in all material respects and do not contain
any

There
is no action, litigation, investigation, or proceeding pending
or, to the

|

By accepting this Note, Lender agrees that:
|
(a) |
Lender
has full power and authority to hold this Note.
|
(b) |
This
Note is being purchased for investment for Lender’s own account, not as a

distributing the same.
|
(c) |
Lender
has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters
that
Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in
this Note.
|
5. |
Covenants
of Borrowers. So
long as any portion of the Financial Obligations shall remain outstanding,

writing:
|
(a) |
Borrowers
will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws,
ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders and other requirements of governmental
authorities;
|
(b) |
Borrowers
will maintain and preserve their existence, rights and privileges,
intellectual property, licenses and franchises and obtain, maintain
and
preserve all permits, licenses, authorizations and approvals that
are
necessary in the proper conduct of their
business;
|
(c) |
Borrowers
will keep adequate and proper records and books of account, in
which
complete and correct entries will be made in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting
all
financial matters and transactions in relation to the business
and
activities of Borrowers and their subsidiaries and
affiliates;
|
(d) |
Borrowers
shall file, on a timely basis, all Federal, state and local tax
returns
and other reports required by applicable law to be filed by Borrowers
and
all taxes, assessments and other charges imposed by any governmental
authority upon Borrowers or any property of Borrowers (including,
without
limitation, all federal income and social security taxes on employees'
wages) and all such taxes, assessments and other charges which
become due
and payable shall be paid when due;
|
(e) |
Borrowers
will not merge or consolidate with any person or entity or sell,
convey,
transfer, lease or dispose of (whether in one transaction or in
a series
of transactions) all or substantially all of their assets to any
person or
entity, or abandon all or substantially all of their assets (any
such
transaction, a “Fundamental Transaction”); provided,
however,
that Borrowers may consummate a Fundamental Transaction if (i)
Borrowers
are the surviving entities and, after the consummation of such
Fundamental
Transaction, Borrowers will reaffirm in writing their obligations
under
this Note if requested to do so by Lender, (ii) no other provision
of this
Note would be violated by or after consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction, and (iii) no Non-Permitted Event shall have occurred
either
before or after giving effect to such Fundamental Transaction;
|
(f) |
After
October 31, 2006, Borrowers shall not incur or maintain total
Indebtedness, other than Excluded Indebtedness, which at any time
exceeds
a total of $1,000,000;
|
(g) |
Other
than the Permitted Lien, Borrowers shall not pledge, grant or convey
to
any person a Lien in or on any of the assets of Borrowers without
the
prior written consent of the Lender. If Borrowers should grant
or attempt
to grant any Lien (other than the Permitted Lien) to any creditor,
then
Borrowers intend that they shall be deemed hereby to have pledged,
granted
and conveyed to Lender, to secure all Financial Obligations, as
of the
date hereof, a prior Lien in the collateral subject to such Lien,
and the
Lien of such other creditor shall be automatically subordinated
to the
Lien of Lender;
|
(h) |
Oxis
shall not reduce its ownership of the capital stock of Biocheck
or its
voting interest in Biocheck below fifty-one percent
(51%);
|
(i) |
Oxis
shall not make any distributions or dividends of any of its cash
or assets
to any of its shareholders and shall not redeem or repurchase any
of its
outstanding capital stock;
|
(j) |
Any
transaction which Borrowers purport to enter into, which would
be in
violation of Borrowers’ covenants in Sections 5(f), 5(g), 5(h), or 5(i) of
this Note shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Borrowers
hereby grant Lender the independent right to enforce this Section
5(j),
against Borrowers and all relevant parties involved in any transaction
prohibited by Sections 5(f), 5(g), 5(h), or 5(i) of this Note,
at any time
that Lender is not satisfied with Borrowers’ enforcement of this Section
5(j);
|
(k) |
If,
subsequent to the Effective Date, Borrowers increase their ownership
of
the capital stock of or voting interest in Biocheck to 80% or greater,
Borrowers will immediately cause Biocheck to enter into this Note
as one
of the joint and several obligors hereunder (or at the option of
Lender,
to enter into a full guaranty of this Note);
|
(l) |
Subsequent
to the Effective Date, Borrowers will not acquire or form, or contribute
any assets to any existing, acquired or newly formed subsidiary,
in any
jurisdiction worldwide, without simultaneously causing each such
entity to
become a joint and several obligor under this Note (or at the option
of
Lender, to enter into a full guaranty of this Note);
and
|
(m) |
If,
subsequent to the Effective Date, Borrowers discover than any of
their
existing subsidiaries which are not obligors under this Note, in
fact have
any assets whatsoever, Borrowers will immediately cause each such
subsidiary which has assets to become a joint and several obligor
under
this Note (or at the option of Lender, to enter into a full guaranty
of
this Note).
|
(n) |
Prior
to executing a debt instrument payable to any other person or entity,
each
Borrower shall advise such other person or entity of the terms
of this
Note and provide each such person or entity a copy of this
Note.

certifies that each of Oxis and the other Borrowers are in compliance
with
all covenants in Section 5 hereof and have been in compliance with
all
such covenants since the Effective Date.
|
6. |
Payments
and Prepayments. Borrowers
may, at their option, prepay the principal amount of this Note,
in whole
at any time and in part from time to time without premium or penalty.
No
check, draft or other instrument shall constitute final payment
unless and
until such checks, drafts or instruments have actually been collected.
Any
monies received shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest
hereunder, second to principal of this Note, and third to any other
Financial Obligations.
|
7. |
Non-Permitted
Event.
Any of the following events is a “Non-Permitted Event”:
|
(a) |
Borrowers
shall fail to pay any principal of, or interest on, this Note when
due
(whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, demand or
otherwise);
|
(b) |
Any
representation or warranty made by Borrowers in this Note shall
have been
incorrect in any material respect when
made;
|
(c) |
Borrowers
shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement
contained
in the Note, including but not limited to the covenants in Section
5
hereof;
|
(d) |
After
October 31, 2006, Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries shall
fail to
timely pay when due any payment in any amount (or an acceleration
otherwise occurs) on any Indebtedness (where such Indebtedness
is in an
outstanding amount in excess of an aggregate of $300,000).
|
(e) |
One
or more judgments or orders for the payment of money exceeding

shall
be rendered against Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries;
|
(f) |
Borrowers
or any of their subsidiaries shall admit in writing their inability

their debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the
benefit
of creditors;
|
(g) |
The
filing by or against Borrowers of any voluntary or involuntary
petition in
bankruptcy or any petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy
code or
any
|
(h) |
The
execution by Borrowers of an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or
the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee or similar party
to take
possession of a material portion of Borrowers’ assets or property; or
|
(i) |
Any
provision of this Note shall at any time for any reason be declared
to be
null and void by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the validity
or
enforceability hereof shall be contested by Borrowers, or a proceeding
shall be commenced by Borrowers seeking to establish the invalidity
or
unenforceability hereof, or Borrowers shall deny that they have
any
liability or obligation hereunder.
|
8. |
Event
of Default.
If any Non-Permitted Event described in Sections 7(a), 7(b), or
7(i)
occurs, then such Non-Permitted Event will, without any further
notice,
constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder. If any Non-Permitted Event
described in Sections 7(c), 7(d), 7(e), 7(f), 7(g), or 7(h) occurs
and is
not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice is delivered
to
any Borrower regarding such Non-Permitted Event, then such Non-Permitted
Event will also constitute an “Event of Default”. Upon an Event of
Default, all Financial Obligations will become immediately due
and payable
(“Acceleration”), without
the need for any further action on the part of Lender. Lender will
have,
in addition to its rights and remedies under this Note, full recourse
against any real, personal, tangible or intangible assets of Borrowers,
and may pursue any legal or equitable remedies that are available
to
Lender, and
Lender may take any other actions or remedies available to it under
this
Note or other applicable law. Borrowers will not have an opportunity
to
cure any Event of Default, and prevent Acceleration, absent written
Lender
approval at such time, which approval may be granted or withheld
in
Lender's sole discretion.
|
9. |
Amendments
and Waivers of Note Provisions.
No amendment of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless
it is
in writing and signed by Lender, and no waiver of any provision
of this
Note, and no consent to any departure herefrom, shall be effective
unless
it is in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or
consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No
course of dealing between Borrowers and Lender will operate as
a waiver or
modification of any party’s rights or obligations under this Note. No
delay or failure on the part of Lender in exercising any right
or remedy
under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right or any other
right.
A waiver given on one occasion will not be construed as a bar to,
or as a
waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion.
|
10. |
Joint
and Several Obligation.
It
is the express intention of Lender and Borrowers that the obligations
under this Note shall be joint and several as to Borrowers. The
fact that
this Note is a joint and several obligation of Borrowers is a material
inducement and bargained-for exchange pursuant to which Lender
has agreed
to accept this Note. Borrowers agree that they have received or
shall
receive a material benefit, whether direct or indirect, from entering
into
this Note, and do hereby waive any claim or argument, whether now
or
hereafter existing, relating in any way to fraudulent conveyance
or lack
of consideration for entering into this Note.
|
11. |
Other
Waivers by Borrowers.
Presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance,
protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice
of
acceleration, and all other notices (except only those notices
which are
specifically required by this Note), filing of suit and diligence
in
collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security herefor are
hereby
waived by Borrowers, all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers
hereof. This Note shall be the joint and several obligation of
Borrowers,
all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers, and shall be binding
upon
them and their successors and assigns. Borrowers, and any endorsers,
or
guarantors hereof, severally waive and relinquish, to the fullest
extent
permitted by law, all rights to the benefits of any moratorium,
reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension,
redemption, appraisement, and exemption now or hereafter provided
by the
constitution and laws of the United States of America and of each
state
thereof and any other jurisdiction, both as to themselves and in
and to
all of their property, real and personal, against the enforcement
of the
obligations evidenced by this Note.
|
12. |
Exercise
of Remedies. No
failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising,
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other
or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
|
13. |
Severability; Unenforceability;
Deemed Amendment. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Note will
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or
provision
hereof. Any
provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining
portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of
such provision in any other jurisdiction. With respect to any
jurisdiction, it
is also the intent and agreement of the Borrowers and Lender that
this
Note shall be deemed amended by modifying such invalid or unenforceable
provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable
while
preserving its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting
therefor another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves
the
same objectives.
|
14. |
Fees
and Expenses.
Borrowers hereby agree to reimburse on demand, to Lender all costs
and
expenses (including, without limitation, all legal fees and expenses)
incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Note, and (ii) the enforcement of
Lender's rights, and the collection of all amounts due, hereunder.
Notwithstanding item (i) of the preceding sentence, in connection
with the
preparation and execution of this Note and other documents being
executed
substantially contemporaneously herewith, Lender’s costs and expenses to
be reimbursed by Borrowers will be between $5,000 and $7,500, for
work
performed through the date of execution of this Note and such other
documents (even though the date of execution is subsequent to the
Effective Date).
|
15. |
Indemnification.
Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend,
and
hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lender
and each
of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, affiliates
and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, all legal fees and expenses) which may be incurred
by or
asserted against Lender or any other Indemnified Party in connection
with
or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding related
to
or arising out of this Note or any other related document or instrument
or
any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (but in any case
excluding
any such claims, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses incurred
solely
by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
such
Indemnified Party). The obligations of Borrowers under this Section
shall
survive the payment in full of this
Note.
|
16. |
Exchange
Rights.
At any time on or before the fifth day after the repayment of the
Financial Obligations in full, if any Borrower enters into an agreement
with any party other than Lender, to issue debt, equity, or equity-linked
securities of such Borrower (“Subsequently Issued Instruments”), including
without limitation debt, preferred stock, warrants, options, convertible
securities or Common Stock, then at Lender’s sole option and discretion
and within thirty (30) days after Borrowers provide Lender with
full
details of the terms of the Subsequently Issued Instruments, Lender
may
both (or either) (i) exchange the remaining Financial Obligations
due
under this Note into such Subsequently Issued Instruments on the
most
favorable terms provided to any purchaser and/or (ii) separately
purchase
up to $405,600 of such Subsequently Issued Instruments on the most
favorable terms provided to any
purchaser.
|
17. |
Assignment.
This
Note is freely transferable and assignable by Lender, provided
that such
transfer is made in compliance with all applicable state and federal
laws.
Any reference to Lender herein will be deemed to refer to any subsequent
transferee of this Note at such time as such transferee acquires
title to
this Note. This Note may not be assigned or delegated by Borrowers,
whether by voluntary assignment or transfer, operation of law,
merger or
otherwise.
|
18. |
No
Impairment.
Borrowers will not, by amendment of any of Borrowers’ charters, by-laws or
similar governing documents, or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
and
covenants to be observed or performed hereunder by Borrowers, but
will at
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out and abidance
of all the
terms and covenants of this Note and in the taking of all such
action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the intent
of all the
terms and covenants of this Note.
