SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BIOELECTRONICS CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to WHALEHAVEN CAPITAL FUND LIMITED, 3rd Floor, 14 Par-Laville Road, Hamilton, Bermuda HM08, Fax: (441) 292-1373,  (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest or order, without demand, the sum of Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Dollars ($33,333.00) (“Principal Amount”), on August 14, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid.

This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “Other Holders”) of convertible promissory notes (the “Other Notes”), dated of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription Agreement.  Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement.  The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I

INTEREST; AMORTIZATION

     

 1.1.    Interest Rate.   Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the "Interest Rate") of eight percent (8%).  Interest on the Principal Amount shall accrue from the date of this Note and shall be payable commencing six months from the date of this Note and monthly thereafter and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

1.2.    Minimum Monthly Principal Payments.   Amortizing payments of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall commence on the nine month anniversary date of this Note and on the same day of each month thereafter (each a “Repayment Date”) until the Principal Amount has been repaid in full, whether by the payment of cash or by the conversion of such Principal Amount and interest into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof.  Subject to Section 2.1 and Article 3 below, on each Repayment Date, the Borrower shall make payments to the Holder in an amount equal to one-sixteenth of the initial Principal Amount, and any other amounts which are then owing under this Note that have not been paid (collectively, the “Monthly Amount”).  Amounts of conversions of Principal Amount made by the Holder or Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or Article III and amounts redeemed pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Note shall be applied first against outstanding fees and damages, then to Monthly Amounts commencing with the Monthly Amount first payable and then Monthly Amounts thereafter in chronological order.  Any Principal Amount and any other sum arising under this Note and the Subscription Agreement that remains outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Exhibit 10.15

 

 

1.3.    Default Interest Rate.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in Article IV), which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within twenty (20) days, otherwise then from the first date of such occurrence, the annual interest rate on this Note shall (subject to Section 5.7) be fifteen percent (15%).  Such interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, accelerated or otherwise.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION REPAYMENT

 

2.1.    Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock.  Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, the Borrower shall pay the Monthly Amount, at the Borrower’s election, in either of the following manners: (i) in cash within three (3) business days after the applicable Repayment Date, or (ii) in registered Common Stock at an applied conversion rate equal to the lesser of (A) the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in section 3.1 hereof), or (B) eighty-five percent (85%) of the VWAP (as defined below) as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market for the ten trading days preceding such Repayment Date. Unless waived by the Holder, the Borrower may not elect to pay a Monthly Amount due on a Repayment Date in Common Stock in an amount of shares of Common Stock which would exceed in the aggregate for all Holders of Notes similar to this Note, twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate daily trading volume for the seven trading days preceding the Repayment Date as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market multiplied by the VWAP for such seven day period.  Amounts paid with shares of Common Stock must be delivered to the Holder not later than three (3) business days after the applicable Repayment Date.  The Borrower must send notice to the Holder by confirmed telecopier not later than 6:00 PM, New York City time on the fifth trading day preceding a Repayment Date notifying Holder of Borrower’s election to pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in cash or Common Stock.  Elections by the Borrower must be made to all Other Holders in proportion to the relative Note principal held by the Holder and the Other Holders.  If such notice is not timely sent or if the Monthly Redemption Amount is not timely delivered, then Holder shall have the right, instead of the Company, to elect at any time after the applicable Repayment Date whether to be paid in cash or Common Stock.  Such Holder’s election shall not be construed to be a waiver of any default by Borrower relating to non-timely compliance by Borrower with any of its obligations under this Note.  “VWAP” shall mean the sum of the dollars traded for every purchase and sale of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (determined as the price per share of Common Stock at which such purchase and sale occurred multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased and sold) divided by the total shares of Common Stock traded during the period.

2.2.    No Effective Registration.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder may be paid in shares of Common Stock by the Borrower without the Holder’s consent unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations exists, or (ii) an exemption from registration of the resale of shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations is available pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the 1933 Act, (b) no Event of Default hereunder (or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default), has occurred or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option, and (c) the Principal Market is either the OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Nasdaq National Market, or New York Stock Exchange (“Listing Condition”) from and after thirty (30) days prior to a Repayment Date.

 

Exhibit 10.15

2.3.    Mandatory Conversion.  Provided an Event of Default (or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default) has not occurred, then commencing after the date the Registration Statement described in Section 11.1(iv) of the Subscription Agreement has been declared effective (“Actual Effective Date”), the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert the outstanding and unpaid principal of this Note into Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion may only be given within three (3) business days following a consecutive ten (10) day trading period (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq SmallCap Market is more than $1.00 each day during the Lookback Period. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion.  Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes who received Notes similar in terms and tenure as this Note.  The maximum aggregate amount for all Notices of Mandatory Conversion that may be given for each Mandatory Conversion Date may not exceed 25% of the daily trading volume for the seven (7) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date multiplied by the VWAP as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq SmallCap Market for such seven day trading period.   A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may not be given unless the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) has been effective for the unrestricted public resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) each day during the Lookback Period. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date.  The amount of Note principal included in a Mandatory Redemption Notice shall be further reduced to an amount that would not cause the Holder to exceed the limitation described in Section 3.2 of this Note.  A further Mandatory Conversion Notice may not be given until thirty (30) trading days have elapsed from the preceding Mandatory Conversion Date.  Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period as described in Section 2.1 above.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION RIGHTS

3.1.    Holder’s Conversion Rights.   Subject to Section 3.2, 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, and any sum arising under the Subscription Agreement, and the Transaction Documents, including but not limited to Liquidated Damages, into shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III, at the rate of $0.25 per share of Common Stock (“Fixed Conversion Price”), as the same may be adjusted pursuant to this Note and the Subscription Agreement.  The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 3.3.

3.2.    Conversion Limitation.   The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may exceed 4.99%.  The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 3.2 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.  The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 3.2, in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Borrower.  The Holder may decide whether to convert a Note or exercise Warrants to achieve an actual 4.99% ownership position.

 

Exhibit 10.15

3.3.    Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.

 

(a)    In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and amounts being converted.  The original Note is not required to be surrendered to the Borrower until all sums due under the Note have been paid.  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.  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.”  A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(b)    Pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel (if so required by the Borrower’s transfer agent), and, except as otherwise provided below, shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). 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 beneficial holder of such shares of Common Stock, or, in the case that Borrower delivers physical certificates as set forth below, the record holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if the registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note is effective and the Holder has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements and has provided representations accordingly.  In the event that Conversion Shares cannot be delivered to the Holder via DWAC, the Borrower shall deliver physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date to an address designated by Holder in the U.S.

3.4.    Conversion Mechanics.

(a)    The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article III shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

(b)    The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

A.    Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.

Exhibit 10.15

B.    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 portion hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into 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.

C.    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.

D.    Share Issuance.   So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration less than the Fixed Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price.  For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price.  The reduction of the Fixed Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.

(c)    Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4(b) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

3.5.    Reservation.   During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  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.

3.6    Issuance of Replacement Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid, provided Holder has surrendered an original Note to the Borrower. In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Borrower against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note, and the Borrower is hereby expressly authorized to offset any such amounts mutually agreed upon by Borrower and Holder or pursuant to a judgment in Borrower’s favor against amounts then due under the Note.

Exhibit 10.15

ARTICLE V

SECURITY INTEREST

5.    Security Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay.   This Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower to Holder.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder are parties (collectively, "Loan Documents") and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362.  FURTHERMORE, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW.  The Borrower hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder.  The Borrower represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree to the terms of the Loan Documents if this waiver were not a part of this Note. The Borrower further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower and that the Borrower has discussed this waiver with counsel.

Exhibit 10.15

 

ARTICLE VI

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BIOELECTRONICS CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to HARBORVIEW MASTER FUND LP, 850 Third Avenue, Suite 1801, New York, NY 10022, Fax: (646) 218-1401,  (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest or order, without demand, the sum of Thirteen Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Three Dollars ($13,133.00) (“Principal Amount”), on August 14, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid.

This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “Other Holders”) of convertible promissory notes (the “Other Notes”), dated of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription Agreement.  Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement.  The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I

INTEREST; AMORTIZATION

     

 1.1.   
 Interest Rate.   Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the "Interest Rate") of eight percent (8%).  Interest on the Principal Amount shall accrue from the date of this Note and shall be payable commencing six months from the date of this Note and monthly thereafter and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

1.2.      Minimum Monthly Principal Payments.   Amortizing payments of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall commence on the nine month anniversary date of this Note and on the same day of each month thereafter (each a “Repayment Date”) until the Principal Amount has been repaid in full, whether by the payment of cash or by the conversion of such Principal Amount and interest into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof.  Subject to Section 2.1 and Article 3 below, on each Repayment Date, the Borrower shall make payments to the Holder in an amount equal to one-sixteenth of the initial Principal Amount, and any other amounts which are then owing under this Note that have not been paid (collectively, the “Monthly Amount”).  Amounts of conversions of Principal Amount made by the Holder or Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or Article III and amounts redeemed pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Note shall be applied first against outstanding fees and damages, then to Monthly Amounts commencing with the Monthly Amount first payable and then Monthly Amounts thereafter in chronological order.  Any Principal Amount and any other sum arising under this Note and the Subscription Agreement that remains outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Exhibit 10.16

 

1.3.      Default Interest Rate.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in Article IV), which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within twenty (20) days, otherwise then from the first date of such occurrence, the annual interest rate on this Note shall (subject to Section 5.7) be fifteen percent (15%).  Such interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, accelerated or otherwise.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION REPAYMENT

2.1.    Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock.  Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, the Borrower shall pay the Monthly Amount, at the Borrower’s election, in either of the following manners: (i) in cash within three (3) business days after the applicable Repayment Date, or (ii) in registered Common Stock at an applied conversion rate equal to the lesser of (A) the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in section 3.1 hereof), or (B) eighty-five percent (85%) of the VWAP (as defined below) as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market for the ten trading days preceding such Repayment Date. Unless waived by the Holder, the Borrower may not elect to pay a Monthly Amount due on a Repayment Date in Common Stock in an amount of shares of Common Stock which would exceed in the aggregate for all Holders of Notes similar to this Note, twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate daily trading volume for the seven trading days preceding the Repayment Date as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market multiplied by the VWAP for such seven day period.  Amounts paid with shares of Common Stock must be delivered to the Holder not later than three (3) business days after the applicable Repayment Date.  The Borrower must send notice to the Holder by confirmed telecopier not later than 6:00 PM, New York City time on the fifth trading day preceding a Repayment Date notifying Holder of Borrower’s election to pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in cash or Common Stock.  Elections by the Borrower must be made to all Other Holders in proportion to the relative Note principal held by the Holder and the Other Holders.  If such notice is not timely sent or if the Monthly Redemption Amount is not timely delivered, then Holder shall have the right, instead of the Company, to elect at any time after the applicable Repayment Date whether to be paid in cash or Common Stock.  Such Holder’s election shall not be construed to be a waiver of any default by Borrower relating to non-timely compliance by Borrower with any of its obligations under this Note.  “VWAP” shall mean the sum of the dollars traded for every purchase and sale of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (determined as the price per share of Common Stock at which such purchase and sale occurred multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased and sold) divided by the total shares of Common Stock traded during the period.

2.2.    No Effective Registration.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder may be paid in shares of Common Stock by the Borrower without the Holder’s consent unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations exists, or (ii) an exemption from registration of the resale of shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations is available pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the 1933 Act, (b) no Event of Default hereunder (or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default), has occurred or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option, and (c) the Principal Market is either the OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Nasdaq National Market, or New York Stock Exchange (“Listing Condition”) from and after thirty (30) days prior to a Repayment Date.

 

Exhibit 10.16

2.3.    Mandatory Conversion.  Provided an Event of Default (or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default) has not occurred, then commencing after the date the Registration Statement described in Section 11.1(iv) of the Subscription Agreement has been declared effective (“Actual Effective Date”), the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert the outstanding and unpaid principal of this Note into Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion may only be given within three (3) business days following a consecutive ten (10) day trading period (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq SmallCap Market is more than $1.00 each day during the Lookback Period. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion.  Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes who received Notes similar in terms and tenure as this Note.  The maximum aggregate amount for all Notices of Mandatory Conversion that may be given for each Mandatory Conversion Date may not exceed 25% of the daily trading volume for the seven (7) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date multiplied by the VWAP as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq SmallCap Market for such seven day trading period.   A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may not be given unless the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) has been effective for the unrestricted public resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) each day during the Lookback Period. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date.  The amount of Note principal included in a Mandatory Redemption Notice shall be further reduced to an amount that would not cause the Holder to exceed the limitation described in Section 3.2 of this Note.  A further Mandatory Conversion Notice may not be given until thirty (30) trading days have elapsed from the preceding Mandatory Conversion Date.  Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period as described in Section 2.1 above.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION RIGHTS

3.1.    Holder’s Conversion Rights.   Subject to Section 3.2, 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, and any sum arising under the Subscription Agreement, and the Transaction Documents, including but not limited to Liquidated Damages, into shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III, at the rate of $0.25 per share of Common Stock (“Fixed Conversion Price”), as the same may be adjusted pursuant to this Note and the Subscription Agreement.  The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 3.3.

3.2.    Conversion Limitation.   The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may exceed 4.99%.  The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 3.2 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.  The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 3.2, in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Borrower.  The Holder may decide whether to convert a Note or exercise Warrants to achieve an actual 4.99% ownership position.

 

Exhibit 10.16

3.3.    Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.

(a)    In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and amounts being converted.  The original Note is not required to be surrendered to the Borrower until all sums due under the Note have been paid.  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.  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.”  A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

(b)    Pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel (if so required by the Borrower’s transfer agent), and, except as otherwise provided below, shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). 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 beneficial holder of such shares of Common Stock, or, in the case that Borrower delivers physical certificates as set forth below, the record holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if the registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note is effective and the Holder has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements and has provided representations accordingly.  In the event that Conversion Shares cannot be delivered to the Holder via DWAC, the Borrower shall deliver physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date to an address designated by Holder in the U.S.

3.4.    Conversion Mechanics.

(a)    The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article III shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

(b)    The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

A.    Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.

 

Exhibit 10.16

B.    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 portion hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into 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.

C.    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.

D.    Share Issuance.   So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration less than the Fixed Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price.  For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price.  The reduction of the Fixed Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.

(c)    Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4(b) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

3.5.    Reservation.   During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  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.

3.6    Issuance of Replacement Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid, provided Holder has surrendered an original Note to the Borrower. In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Borrower against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note, and the Borrower is hereby expressly authorized to offset any such amounts mutually agreed upon by Borrower and Holder or pursuant to a judgment in Borrower’s favor against amounts then due under the Note.

 

Exhibit 10.16

ARTICLE V

SECURITY INTEREST

5.    Security Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay.   This Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower to Holder.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder are parties (collectively, "Loan Documents") and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362.  FURTHERMORE, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW.  The Borrower hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder.  The Borrower represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree to the terms of the Loan Documents if this waiver were not a part of this Note. The Borrower further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower and that the Borrower has discussed this waiver with counsel.

 

Exhibit 10.16

ARTICLE VI
