On December 22, 2004, NCT Group, Inc. ("NCT") issued Carole Salkind an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $13,933,584.56 to cure NCT's default under three notes dated June 15, 2004 and two notes dated June 16, 2004. The principal amount of this December 22, 2004 note represents the aggregate principal rolled over ($12,193,812.57), default penalty (10% of the principal in default) and accrued interest. The note is secured by substantially all of the assets of NCT. The note matures on June 22, 2005. The note bears interest at 8% per annum until the due date of the note, and bears interest at a default rate of 13% on any amount of principal or interest that is not paid when due. Interest is payable on June 22, 2005. At the election of Ms. Salkind, the note may be converted into 839,372,564 shares of NCT common stock at a conversion price per share of $0.0166 or exchanged for shares of common stock of any subsidiary of NCT (except Pro Tech Communications, Inc.) that makes a public offering of its common stock (at the public offering price). The note contains events of default, any one of which (if not cured) triggers a default penalty of 10% of the then outstanding principal. If triggered, the default penalty, along with the outstanding principal and accrued interest, becomes immediately due and payable. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest when due and the failure to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of conversion rights. In conjunction with this note issuance, NCT issued Ms. Salkind a five-year warrant to acquire 229,500,000 shares of NCT common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.0166. The issuance of the note and warrant was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
