September 15, 2010












Subject to the terms and conditions of this Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”), for value received, Prescient Medical, Inc. (“Prescient” or the “Borrower”) a Delaware corporation promises to pay to CAMBRIDGE HOLDINGS, LTD., a Colorado corporation (“Holder”), the principal amount of ONE MILLION TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($1,025,000.00) (such principal amount, the “Loan”), together with interest at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum, on or before the Maturity Date, as defined below, subject to the terms set forth in Section 2.  This Note is one of a series of senior secured convertible promissory notes of like tenor and ranking made by the Borrower in favor of the Holder and issued, from time to time, on and after the date hereof.


 


1.  Maturity Date.  Borrower shall pay to Holder an amount in cash in immediately available funds representing the outstanding principal amount of this Note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon on June 30, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), which date may be extended by the Borrower and the Holder in writing; provided, however, that upon the consummation of a merger between the Borrower and the Holder, or an affiliate of the Holder (the “Merger”), all indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be deemed cancelled and paid in full.


 


2.  Security.  This Note is secured by and is also entitled to the benefits of that certain Security Agreement dated as of the date between Borrower and Holder (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement” and, together with this Note and any other agreement, instrument or other document relating thereto or executed in connection therewith, the “Loan Documents”) and any other agreement or instrument providing collateral for the Obligations (as defined below), whether now or hereafter in existence, and any filings, instruments, agreements and documents relating thereto and providing collateral for the Obligations.  As used herein and in the Security Agreement, “Obligations” means all payment and performance obligations as existing from time to time of Borrower to Holder under this Note and any other notes issued to the Borrower, the other Loan Documents (including any interest, fees and expenses that, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Security Agreement), would have accrued), or as a result of making the Loan and the obligation to pay an amount equal to the amount of any and all damages which Holder may suffer by reason of a breach by Borrower of any obligation, covenant, or undertaking with respect to this Note or any other Loan Document.


 


 


 




  





  











  






3.  General Payment Terms.


 


3.1  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Note and the Security Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds, without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payments owed by Borrower and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”), to Holder as directed in writing by Holder, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York, NY time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from any payment to Holder under this Note, then the amount payable to Holder shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions, Holder received an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions been made.


 


3.2  Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.


 


3.3  Interest on the Loan shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable


 


3.4  Payment shall be credited first to the accrued but unpaid interest then due and payable, second to the outstanding principal balance of this Note and third to the other outstanding Obligations.


 


4.  Representations and Warranties.  Borrower represents and warrants to Holder that until the obligations under this Note and the Security Agreement are paid in full:


 


4.1  Borrower (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (b) has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, (c) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify could reasonably be expected (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a material adverse effect on Borrower, and (d) is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law.


 


4.2  Borrower has the corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform this Note and the other Loan Documents, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize (a) the incurrence of obligations pursuant to this Note and the terms and conditions of this Note and the other Loan Documents and (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Note and the other Loan Documents.

No lien, security interest or other encumbrance or interest (a “Lien”) with respect to any tax or assessment has been filed, and to the knowledge of Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax or assessment.

5.4  Pay or perform all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges that may be levied or assessed upon it or any of its property (including withholding, social security, payroll and similar employment related taxes on the dates such taxes are due); provided that Borrower may contest such taxes, assessments and other governmental charges in good faith so long as adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


 


5.5  Maintain a system of accounting, and keep such books, records and accounts (which shall be true and complete in all material respects) as may be required or as may be necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and in compliance with the regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its properties.

5.7  Permit representatives of Holder, from time to time, as often as may be reasonably requested, but only during normal business hours unless an Event of Default exists, upon reasonable prior notice unless an Event of Default exists, to visit and inspect its properties; inspect, audit and make extracts from its books, records and files, including management letters prepared by independent accountants; and discuss with its principal officers and its independent accountants, its business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.
