SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CONVERTIBLE TERM NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TRIMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, LLC, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to IL RESOURCES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the “Holder”), or its registered assigns or successors in interest, on order, the sum of Three Million Two Hundred Eighty Five Thousand One Hundred Eighty-Eight Dollars and Thirty-Eight Cents ($3,285,188.38) (the “Restated Principal Amount”), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on October 31, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner paid.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 5, 2005 between the Borrower and the Holder (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I

INTEREST

1.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Principal Amount outstanding under this Second Amended and Restated Convertible Term Note (“Note”) shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to twelve percent (12%). Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable in cash via wire transfer monthly, in arrears, commencing on October 1, 2006 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 “Payment Date”) unless the Holder gives the Borrower written notification that it desires for a particular month’s interest payment to be paid in full paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, $.001 par value, of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”), based on a per share stock price equal to the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.4) such price per share being subject to adjustment at the times, and in accordance with the provisions as set forth in section 3.4. Overdue principal and interest on the Note shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the rate of 21% per annum. All payments of both principal and interest shall be made at the address of the Holder hereof as it appears in the books and records of the Borrower or at such other place as may be designated by the Holder hereof in writing to the Borrower.


ARTICLE II

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

2.1 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Borrower will have the option of prepaying this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred percent (100%) 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 Purchase Agreement, or any Related Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding 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) business 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 a pending election to convert pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions initiated or made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION RIGHTS

3.1. Holder’s Conversion Rights. The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with interest and fees due hereon, into shares of Common Stock subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III. The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written notice of conversion not less than one (1) day prior to the date upon which such conversion shall occur.

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 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Holder may void the Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2 upon 75 days prior notice to the Borrower.

2


3.3. Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion. (a) In the event that the Holder elects to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance of 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 the Borrower and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees 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 the Borrower within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower 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.

(b) Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder. 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 the Borrower 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 the Borrower written instructions to the contrary.

3.4 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 Conversion Price.

(b) On the issue date hereof and until such time as an adjustment shall occur, the Conversion Price shall be $.50 per share of common stock. The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

A. 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 in shares of Common Stock, the 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.

B. During the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower 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. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower 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


C. Share Issuances. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4, if the Borrower shall at any time 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 the Borrower) for a consideration per share (the “Offer Price”) less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Conversion Price shall be immediately reset to such lower Offer Price at the time of issuance of such securities.

D. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower 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 immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

3.5. 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 Borrower 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 Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

3.6. Registration Rights. The Holder has certain rights with respect to the registration of shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
