automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.) (2.0%) for each
incremental twenty five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common
Stock above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. If (i) ROIE shall not

contained in herein), in no event shall the Contract Rate be less than zero
percent (0%). Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year,
and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on February 1, 2005 and on the
first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter until the
Maturity Date (and on the Maturity Date), whether by acceleration or otherwise
(each, a "CONTRACT RATE PAYMENT DATE").
1.3. Minimum Monthly Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the
aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note at any time (the
"PRINCIPAL AMOUNT") shall begin on April 1, 2005 and shall recur on the first
business day of each succeeding month thereafter until the Maturity Date (each,
an "AMORTIZATION DATE"). Subject to Article 3 below, beginning on the first
Amortization Date, ROIE shall make monthly payments to the Holder on each
Contract Rate Payment Date, each in the amount of $121,212.12, together with any
accrued and unpaid interest to date on such portion of the Principal Amount plus
any and all other amounts which are then owing under this Note, the Security
Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement but have not been paid (collectively,
the "MONTHLY AMOUNT"). Any Principal Amount that remains outstanding on the
Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION REPAYMENT
2.1. (a) Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock. Each month
by the fifth (5th) business day prior to each Amortization Date (the "NOTICE
DATE"), the Holder shall deliver to ROIE a written notice in the form of Exhibit
B attached hereto (each, a "REPAYMENT NOTICE") stating whether, according to the
Conversion Criteria (as defined below), the Monthly Amount payable on the next
Amortization Date shall be paid in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of
both. If a Repayment Notice is not delivered by the Holder on or before the
2
applicable Notice Date for such Amortization Date, then Borrowers shall pay the
Monthly Amount due on such Amortization Date in cash. Any portion of the Monthly
Amount paid in cash on an Amortization Date, shall be paid to the Holder in an
amount equal to 102% of such amount. The number of such shares to be issued by
ROIE to the Holder on such Amortization Date (in respect of such portion of the
Monthly Amount converted into in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section
2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the portion of the
Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock, by (y) the then applicable
Fixed Conversion Price.
(b) Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.5
hereof, the "FIXED CONVERSION Price" means, an amount equal to $2.11 (which has
been determined on the date of this Note as an amount equal to 103% of the
average closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days
immediately prior to the date of this Note, but not greater than 110% of the
closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of this Note).
(c) Monthly Amount Conversion Guidelines. Subject to Sections 2.1(a),
2.2, and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert into shares of Common Stock all or
a portion of the Monthly Amount due on each Amortization Date according to the
following guidelines (the "CONVERSION CRITERIA"): (i) the average closing price
of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for
the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such Amortization Date shall be
greater than or equal to 110% of the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) the amount
of such conversion does not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate
dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty two (22) day trading
period immediately preceding delivery of a Repayment Notice. If the Conversion
Criteria are not met, the Holder shall convert only such part of the Monthly
Amount that meets the Conversion Criteria. Any part of the Monthly Amount due on
an Amortization Date that the Holder has not been able to convert into shares of
Common Stock due to failure to meet the Conversion Criteria, shall be paid by
the Borrowers in cash at the rate of 102% of the Monthly Amount otherwise due on
such Amortization Date, within three (3) business days of the applicable
Amortization Date.
2.2. No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Holder shall not be required to accept shares of Common
Stock as payment following a conversion by the Holder if there fails to exist an
effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued, or if
an Event of Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such requirement
is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder's
option.
2.3. Optional Redemption in Cash. The Borrowers will have the option of
prepaying this Note ("OPTIONAL REDEMPTION") by paying to the Holder a sum of
money equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the principal amount of this
Note together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other
sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Security
3
Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement)
plus an early termination fee in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the
original principal amount of this Note if such Optional Redemption occurs prior
to the first anniversary of the date hereof, four percent (4%) if such Optional
Redemption occurs after the first anniversary but prior to the second
anniversary of the date hereof and three percent (3%) if such Optional
Redemption occurs after the second anniversary of the date hereof (the
"REDEMPTION AMOUNT") on the day written notice of redemption (the "NOTICE OF
REDEMPTION") is given to the Holder. The Notice of Redemption shall specify the
date for such Optional Redemption (the "REDEMPTION PAYMENT DATE") which date
shall be seven (7) days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the
"REDEMPTION PERIOD"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect
to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered a
Notice of Conversion (defined below) pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions
elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption
Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such Xxxxxx's conversion
elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of
Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount (plus any
additional interest and fees accruing on the Notes during the Redemption Period)
must be irrevocably paid in full in immediately available funds to the Holder.
In the event the Borrowers fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption
Payment Date, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.
ARTICLE III
HOLDER'S CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1. Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article III, the
Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the
Maturity Date, or thereafter during an Event of Default (as defined in Article
IV), and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, to convert
all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest
and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common
Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price. The shares of Common Stock to be issued
upon such conversion are herein referred to as the "CONVERSION SHARES."
3.2. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the
terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of
Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or issuable upon exercise of
warrants held by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of ROIE. Further, until the earlier to occur of (1) June 1, 2005 and (2)
consummation of the GO Software Sale as defined in the Security Agreement of
even date herewith, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the
terms of this Note an amount that when aggregated with shares of Common Stock
received by Holder pursuant to Article II, upon exercise of warrants held by
Xxxxxx and upon the conversion of other convertible notes held by Holder would
equal in the aggregate more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
4
ROIE. For the purposes of this Section 3.2, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation
13d-3 thereunder. The Conversion Shares limitation described in the first
sentence of this Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and void without
any notice to any Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance beyond
any applicable grace period of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice
to ROIE.
3.3. Mechanics of Xxxxxx's Conversion. In the event that the Holder
elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of
such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion
("NOTICE OF CONVERSION") to ROIE and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a
breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and
fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined)
and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the
appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as
entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to ROIE within
two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of
Conversion is delivered or telecopied to ROIE in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the "CONVERSION DATE"). A form of
Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit
A. Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, ROIE will issue
instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within
two (2) business days of the date of the delivery to ROIE of the Notice of
Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates
representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3)
business days after receipt by ROIE of the Notice of Conversion (the "DELIVERY
DATE"). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein
the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the
Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been
issued upon the date of receipt by ROIE of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock,
unless the Holder provides ROIE written instructions to the contrary.
3.4. Late Payments. Each Borrower understands that a delay in the
delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this
Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As
compensation to the Holder for such loss, each Borrower agrees to jointly and
severally pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in
the form required pursuant to this Article III upon conversion of the Note, in
the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. Each Borrower
shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available
funds upon demand.
3.5. Conversion Mechanics.
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable
Fixed Conversion Price. In the event of any conversions of outstanding principal
5
amount under this Note in part pursuant to this Article III, such conversions
shall be deemed to constitute conversions of outstanding principal amount
applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in
chronological order.
(b) The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other
securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(b)
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
A. Reclassification, etc. If ROIE at any time shall, by
reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a
different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the
unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed
to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind
of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with
respect to the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change.
B. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common
Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred
stock issued by ROIE in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall
be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or
proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such
case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such event.
C. Share Issuances. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5, if
ROIE shall at any time (after the date hereof) prior to the conversion or
repayment in full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock to a person other than the Holder
(except (i) pursuant to Subsections A or B above; (ii) pursuant to options,
warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as
disclosed to Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be issued
under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan
adopted by ROIE) for a consideration per share (the "Offer Price") less than the
Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Fixed
Conversion Price shall be immediately reset pursuant to the formula below. For
purposes hereof, the issuance of any security of ROIE convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock for a consideration per share less
than the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price, shall result in an adjustment
to the Fixed Conversion Price as set forth below.
If ROIE issues any additional shares of Common Stock for a
consideration per share less than the then-applicable Fixed Conversion Price
pursuant to this Section 3.5 then, and thereafter successively upon each such
issue, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price by the following fraction:
6
A + B
--------------------------------------
(A + B) + [((C - D) x B) / C]
--------------------------------------
A = Total amount of shares convertible pursuant to the Notes.
B = Actual shares sold in the offering
C = Fixed Conversion Price
D = Offering price
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately upon the
earlier to occur of the date of issuance of such shares of Common Stock or the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the
convertible securities, as the case may be. If all of the shares of Common Stock
subject to such convertible securities have not been issued when such
convertible securities expire, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall promptly be
readjusted to the Fixed Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the
adjustment upon the issuance of such convertible securities been made on the
basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of
such convertible securities. For the purpose of this paragraph (C), the number
of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held
in the treasury of ROIE. ROIE will not issue any shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities in respect of shares of
Common Stock held in the treasury of ROIE.
D. Computation of Consideration. For purposes of any computation
respecting consideration received pursuant to Subsection C above, the following
shall apply:
(1) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided
that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or
other expenses incurred by XXXX for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise
in connection therewith;
(2) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of ROIE (irrespective of the
accounting treatment thereof); and
(3) upon any such exercise, the aggregate
consideration received for such securities shall be deemed to be the
consideration received by ROIE for the issuance of such securities plus the
additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by ROIE upon the
7
conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined
in the same manner as provided in clauses (a) and (b) of this Subsection (D)).
3.6. Reservation of Shares. During the period the conversion right
exists, ROIE will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the
full conversion of this Note. XXXX represents that upon issuance, such shares
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. XXXX agrees that
its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers,
agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and
issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
3.7. Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted registration
rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note as more fully set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of
the date hereof between ROIE and the Holder.
3.8. Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a
new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the
request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrowers to the Holder for the
principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted
or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article IV, the Borrowers will pay no
costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and
issuance of a new Note.

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part
of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of

otherwise available.
