EX-10.66 22 dex1066.txt NOTES PAYABLE AGREEMENT WITH WILLIAM S. LEONHARDT EXHIBIT 10.66 ADC APPLIED DATA COMMUNICATIONS May 15, 2001 Mr. William S. Leonhardt P. O. Box 7522 Westlake Village, CA 91359 Dear Mr. Leonhardt: Your note agreement with Applied Data Communications, Inc. ("ADC") provides for the exchange of such note into registered shares of ADC's common stock in quantity to include all principal, interest and fees, at the rate of one share for every $.80 of such principal, fees and interest. ADC has been endeavoring to implement such conversion for the past several weeks. We have been advised by counsel that the specific shares we anticipated using for this purpose, would no longer be considered as "registered". Although the shares were considered as registered at one time, their reacquisition by an "affiliate" of ADC, as defined, changes their status to that of unregistered shares. Consequently, ADC is currently unable to provide such shares, pursuant to our obligation to you. Reflecting on this, and in discussions with Mr. George M. Colin, an advisor to the company, ADC is offering an alternative conversion program which we believe will be beneficial to you. ADC is offering to convert your note into ADC preferred stock, Series B, which is convertible into common shares at the rate of 100 shares of common for each share of the Series B preferred stock, with voting privileges based on the number of common shares into which the Series B preferred stock is convertible. As George may have already have advised you, as a further acknowledgment of the alteration this represents to your agreement, ADC is offering to adjust the number of Series B preferred shares upward by 20%. This will provide to you an additional 20% common shares, over that to which you would otherwise have received. ADC will convert such Series B shares to common shares, and to register such shares within the fourth calendar quarter of 2001. Should you elect not to accept this offer, ADC will provide registered common shares prior to the end of ADC's fiscal third quarter. ADC apologizes for the inconvenience this may represent to you, and sincerely hopes that you will find this to be an acceptable compensation for the accommodation we are requesting. Anticipating your continued support, we are enclosing a new certificate for the appropriate number of Series B shares. We request that you acknowledge receipt of such shares, by executing the duplicate copy of this document below, and returning it to ADC. Thank you once again for your continued support. 3324 South Susan Santa Ana California 92704 Phone 714.668.5200 Fax 714.668.5229 Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Kane Walter J.
