No. __ October __, 2011

$_______ New York, New York

 

VU1 CORPORATION, a California corporation (the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of ______________ with an address at ________________ _________________________________________________________________, or registered assigns (the "Holder"), the principal amount of __________________ dollars ($________), payable in full on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), unless prepayments have been made by the Company pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof, in which case the outstanding balance hereon shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of 12% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 365-day year) on the Maturity Date (the "Interest Payment Date"), all as hereafter further provided.

 

1.           The Offering.

 

This Note is one of a series of the Company’s 12% Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued in connection with interim bridge loans (the "Offering") of Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”), representing 100% warrant coverage, at an exercise price of $0.55 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any subsequent stock split or similar transaction).  The Company has committed to register for resale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission the shares of Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible and the Warrants are exercisable in the Company’s next registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, following the currently proposed public offering, subject to customary underwriter’s cutbacks.

 

2.           Payments.

 

(a)           The “Maturity Date” shall be the earlier (i) the closing of the Company’s currently contemplated public offering of Common Stock (the “Offering”) or other round of financing pursuant to which shares of Common Stock or other equity securities (or securities or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities) are issued by the Company for aggregate consideration of not less than $5,000,000, or (ii) in any event, the date that is two years after the date hereof.

 

  

  

  

 

(b)           After November 30, 2011, interest on the principal amount of this Note shall accrue at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.

 

(c)           Interest on this Note shall accrue on the principal amount outstanding hereunder based upon the actual number of days elapsed from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on this Note, from the date hereof, to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date, and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

 

(d)           If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the payment due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. “Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday or Sunday and is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated to close in the City of New York, New York.

 

(e)           The Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, without payment of any premium or penalty.  The Holder, at its option, may elect upon written notice to the Company at any time to apply any or all of the principal or interest then outstanding under this Note to payment of the exercise price due upon exercise of any Warrant; such application of amounts outstanding hereunder shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company of such amounts.  All payments on this Note, shall be applied first to accrued interest hereon and the balance to the payment of the principal hereof.

 

(f)           Payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made by check sent to the Holder's address set forth above or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Company, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

(g)           The obligations to make the payments provided for in this Note are absolute and unconditional and not subject to any defense, setoff, counterclaim, rescission, recoupment or adjustment whatsoever. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any amount called for hereunder, and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.

 

3.           Conversion.

 

(a)           At the closing of the Offering or other round of financing pursuant to which shares of Common Stock or other equity securities (or securities or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities) are issued by the Company for aggregate consideration of not less than $5,000,000, 115% of the principal amount of this Note (hereinafter the “Conversion Value”), shall be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities (or securities or instruments convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities) issued in such financing as the Conversion Value would purchase on the terms and conditions of such financing to the other investors therein (subject to a minimum price of $0.55 per share of Common Stock, before giving effect to any subsequent stock split or similar transaction).  Upon surrender of this Note, the Holder shall receive certificates representing the securities of the Company acquired by the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3(a).

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Holder shall have the option to be repaid the full outstanding balance of this Note at the closing of the Offering or other equity financing.

 

4.           No Collateral.

 

The payment of this Note and the Company’s obligations hereunder are not secured by any collateral.  The Holder hereof is an unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

5.           Remedies Upon Default.

 

Upon the failure of the Company to make any payment due to the Holder hereunder, which failure shall not be cured within ten (10) Business Days following the date that such payment is due, the Holder, by notice in writing given to the Company, may declare the entire principal amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, this Note to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company.

 

6.            Subordination.

 

(a) As used in this Note, (i) the term "Senior Debt" means all principal, interest, fees, collection costs and other charges under or pursuant to the Company’s Original Issue Discount Convertible Debentures due June 22, 2013 in the aggregate principal amount of $4,117,750, as in effect on the date hereof (and as same may be amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time), and (ii) the term "Senior Creditors" means the holders of Senior Debt from time to time.

 

(b) The Holder's rights to receive payments hereunder are expressly subject and subordinated to the prior payment of all amounts, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or other charges payable from time to time by the Company in respect of any and all Senior Debt; provided, however, that unless, at the time of any payment hereunder or after giving effect thereto, there shall have occurred and be continuing any “Event of Default” (or other comparable term) under the Company's agreements with the Senior Creditors such as would permit the Senior Creditors to accelerate any of the Senior Debt, the Company may pay, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive and retain, the scheduled payment of principal and/or interest under this Note.

 

7.           Transfer.

 

(a)           Any Notes issued upon the transfer of this Note shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Note Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Note on the Note Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Note on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Notes which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.  This Note shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by the Holder’s duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer.  In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his, her or its authority shall be produced.  Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Note or Notes to the person entitled thereto.  This Note may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Note, or other Notes of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like principal amount, upon surrender hereof to the Company or its duly authorized agent.

AND TO:     CLUBB CAPITAL LIMITED

RE:                SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES

Subscription

 

The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby irrevocably subscribes for on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from SyntheMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), the number of shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchased Shares”).  The Purchased Shares are being sold to the Purchaser in consideration for $0.05 (US) per share (the “Subscription Price”), and as part of an offering (the “Offering”) of up to 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”).  If the maximum number of Shares offered is sold, the Corporation will receive gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (US). There is no minimum number of Shares being offered, and the Corporation reserves the right to accept or reject subscriptions, in whole or in part, as and when received.  Clubb Capital Limited (the “Agent”) is serving as a non-exclusive placement agent for the Offering pursuant to an agency agreement to be entered into with the Corporation (the “Agency Agreement”).

 

The Offering is being made to investors resident in the United States, Europe, Canada and elsewhere pursuant to exemptions from local registration, prospectus or similar requirements.  The Offering is being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

The Purchaser understands that the Corporation has entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Pathfinder, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Pathfinder”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Corporation will acquire Pathfinder in a stock-for-stock reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”), with Pathfinder surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  As part of the Merger, the Corporation will issue to the members of Pathfinder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to approximately 80% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company after issuance (the “Merger Shares”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the management and directors of the Corporation will be replaced by individuals designated by Pathfinder, and the Corporation’s resources will be devoted primarily to the business of Pathfinder.  For a detailed discussion of the Merger and Pathfinder’s business and financial information, as well as pro forma financial information reflecting the Merger, reference is made to the Form 8-K of the Corporation filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 28, 2010 and the preliminary proxy statement of the Corporation initially filed with the SEC on February 15, 2011, as subsequently amended, relating to the Corporation’s planned special meeting of stockholders for the merger and related proposals (as well as the definitive form of such proxy statement filed with the SEC in advance of such meeting (the “Merger Proxy”)).

  

  

  

 

Upon the Merger, the Corporation shall change its name to Pathfinder Cell Therapy Inc. and the Purchased Shares shall be issued to the Investor by the Corporation as Pathfinder Cell Therapy Inc. rather than SyntheMed, Inc.

 

In lieu of paying the subscription price in cash, Purchasers may, if applicable, elect to pay the Subscription Price by tendering to the Corporation promissory notes previously issued by Pathfinder to such Purchasers evidencing debt in like principal amount, such notes to be duly endorsed or assigned in blank.

 

	
2.

	
Use of Proceeds

 

The proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Corporation to fund working capital and general corporate purposes of the Corporation.

 

	
3.

	
Documents and Payment to be provided by the Purchaser

 

The Purchaser must complete, sign and return an executed copy of: (i) this Subscription Agreement and (ii) in the case of Purchasers resident in Ontario, Quebec, an accredited investor subscriber certificate as set out in Schedule “A” hereto, and the Subscription Price, denominated in U.S. dollars, must be paid. The wire transfer details are as follows:

or in such other manner as may be specified by the Agent.  The Purchaser will also be required to deliver an executed copy of the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) promptly upon receipt of same.

Closing and Delivery of Share Certificates

 

Delivery and sale of the Purchased Shares will be completed (the “Closing”) at the offices of the Corporation (or such other place or places as the Corporation and the Agent may agree) at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) (the “Closing Time”) on such date or dates as the Corporation and the Agent may agree (each a “Closing Date”). The Final Closing (as defined below) is expected to occur on or before August 31, 2011.  As used herein, “Final Closing” means the date on which the full amount of the Offering is sold or the earlier termination of the Offering period as determined by the Corporation.

  

- 2 -

  

 

The Closing contemplated by this Subscription Agreement is conditional upon (i) the Merger having been consummated and (ii), if and to the extent requested by the Agent, the members of Pathfinder prior to the Merger having executed and delivered lock-up agreements restricting sales and other transfers of the Corporation’s Common Stock received by them in the Merger for such period of time and on such other terms as the Agent shall request.

 

Certificates representing the Purchased Shares will be delivered at Closing, or shortly thereafter, against delivery by the Purchaser of the requisite funds by wire transfer.  To avoid the need to relegend the Shares following effectiveness of the planned resale registration contemplated by an investor rights agreement to be entered into by the Corporation and the Investor (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the Purchaser agrees that delivery of the Purchased Share certificates may be made to counsel for the Agent, who will, upon effectiveness of the registration of the resale of the Purchased Shares, deliver the Purchased Share certificates in accordance with instructions received from the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may at any time request physical delivery of a certificate for Purchased Shares, provided that any such certificate delivered prior to effectiveness of the resale registration statement will bear a restrictive legend as set out in Section 5(k) below.  Moreover, if the resale registration statement is not declared effective within 90 days of the date of the Final Closing (or 120 days if reviewed by the SEC), counsel for the Agent may, at the Agent’s option and in accordance with the Agent’s instructions, cause the Purchased Share certificates in its possession to be endorsed with such restrictive legend and delivered to the respective Purchasers.

 

The Purchaser, on its own behalf or on behalf of others for whom it is contracting hereunder, hereby appoints the Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney and agent with the full power and authority in its place and stead to swear, execute, file and record any document necessary to give effect to the delivery and sale of the Purchased Shares, to terminate this subscription on its behalf in the event that any condition precedent to the Offering has not been satisfied, to execute a receipt for the Purchased Shares and all other documentation, and to modify or waive any conditions or grant any waivers on its behalf in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Purchaser, on its own behalf or on behalf of others for whom it is contracting hereunder, agrees and acknowledges that counsel for the Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake, in fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing with the performance of any obligations in this Section 4, except arising out of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
