SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE DUE 2012

 

	No. 1 	$10,000,000.00 

 

ZAP, a California corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cathaya Capital, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, or its registered assigns, the principal sum of
TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00), or if less the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances made hereunder, on December 31, 2012 (or if earlier the date the Advances are declared or become automatically due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default), (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon, from the date of each Advance is made, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has
been paid, monthly on the first Business Day of each month (the “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 1, 2009, at the Interest Rate until the principal hereof is paid and in the manner set forth below.

 

Payment of the principal of this Note shall be made upon the surrender of this Note to the Company, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Company to the holder hereof) (the “Designated Office”),
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.  Payment of interest in cash and all other amounts payable in cash with respect to this Note shall be made by wire transfer to the Holder, provided that if the Holder shall not have furnished wire instructions
in writing to the Company on or prior to the third Business Day 

 

 

 

 

immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Company security register.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings
given to those terms in Section 7 hereof.

 

Interest on this Note shall be paid in cash, or at the Company’s option upon written notice to the Holder given 20 Trading Days prior to the Interest Payment Date, in shares of Common Stock; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered shall be
equal to the quotient of (x) the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date divided by (y) the Stock Price.  Such shares shall be delivered to the Holder on the Interest Payment Date.

 

1. Advances.  Subject to clause (b) below including the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder shall make loans (the “Advances”)
to the Company from time to time up to prior to October 1, 2012 in an aggregate amount not to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000); provided that (x) no Advances shall be made prior to November 2, 2009, (y) up to $5,000,000 of Advances may be made on or after November 2, 2009 (“Facility A”), and (z) an additional $5,000,000 of Advances may be made after (i) Advances
in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 under Facility A have been made and (ii) on or after February 6, 2010 (“Facility B”).  The Company may not reborrow prepaid, repaid or converted Advances.

 

(a)           The Company may request an Advance by furnishing a written notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”) to the Holder specifying (i) the principal amount of the requested Advance (which shall be not less
than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof), (ii) the intended use of proceeds of the requested Advance, which intended use must be in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, (iii) the account to which the Holder is to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance, (iv) the date the requested Advance is to be made, which must be a Business Day, and (v) that the conditions set forth in clause (b) are satisfied in respect of such Advance.  A
Notice of Borrowing must be given at least ten (10) Business Days before the date the requested Advance is to be made.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.  If the Company fails to satisfy the conditions to the Advance set forth in clause (b) below, the Company shall indemnify the Holder against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Holder due to the liquidation or reemployment of the funds acquired by the Holder to fund the Advance.

 

(b)           The Holder shall make the requested Advance if (i) after giving effect to the Advance, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or would occur as a result of such Advance, (ii) after giving effect to the Advance, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made
hereunder do not exceed $5,000,000 if such Advance is made prior to February 6, 2010 or $10,000,000 if such Advance is made on or after February 6, 2010, (iii) the representations and warranties of the Company in the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be true and correct, except to the extent such representation and warranty relates solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, (iv) there 

 

 

- 2 -

 

shall not have occurred any event or condition of any character that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company since the date of this Note, (v) with respect to an Advance under each of Facility A and Facility B, the Company shall have delivered to the Holder true and complete copies of firm purchase
orders with respect to which the Advance is being made and such purchase orders must be with creditworthy purchasers and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Holder (any such purchase against which an Advance is made, an “Approved Purchase Order”), (vi) the Company and the Holder shall have entered into the arrangements contemplated by Section 4.21 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (vii) the Company has
delivered to the Holder any other documents reasonably requested by the Holder and (viii) solely with respect to an Advance requested under Facility B, the Company shall have delivered to the Holder evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Holder that the Promissory Note dated July 30, 2008 made by the Company in favor of Al Yousuf LLC has been paid in full and terminated and all Liens granted by the Company in connection therewith have been released.

 

(c)           With respect to any Approved Purchase Order, the principal amount of the Advance shall be 115% of the face amount of such Approved Purchase Order.

 

(d)           If the Holder shall fail to make any Advance for which a Notice of Borrowing has been properly delivered and all conditions set forth in Section 1(b) hereof have been satisfied, then the sole remedy of Company for the failure
of the Holder to make such Advance shall be that the number of shares for which the Second Warrant (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) is exercisable shall not increase.

 

(e)           If, the first time a Notice of Borrowing has been properly delivered and all conditions set forth in Section 1(b) hereof have been satisfied,
the Holder shall fail to make an Advance under Facility A within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such Notice of Borrowing and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1(b), then this Note and the Security Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.  If the Holder has made the first Advance under Facility A and the Holder shall fail to make an Advance under Facility A
for which a Notice of Borrowing has been properly delivered and all conditions set forth in Section 1(b) hereof have been satisfied within thirty (30) days of the delivery of such Notice of Borrowing and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1(b), then the Company shall be entitled to incur Indebtedness to a third party pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and, if requested by the Company, the Holder will enter into intercreditor arrangements reasonably acceptable to
the Holder to reflect the pari passu nature of such Indebtedness.

 

2. Payments; Prepayment.

 

(a)           The Company shall repay the principal amount of each Advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the earlier of the date that is two years after the date such Advance is made (or the immediately preceding business day if such date is not a business
day) and the Maturity Date.

 

 

- 3 -

 

(b)           Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder, the Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part; provided that: any such prepayment will be applied first to the payment of expenses due
under this Note, second to interest accrued on this Note and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this Note.

 

3. Conversion.

 

(a) (1) The holder of this Note is entitled at any time and from time to time before the close of business on December 31, 2012 (or, in case the Company has given notice of prepayment on this Note or the Holder hereof has exercised its
right to require the Company to repurchase this Note or a portion hereof pursuant to Section 4 hereof, then in respect of this Note or such portion hereof, as the case may be, until and including, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon prepayment or repurchase) not after, 5:00 p.m., California time, on the Business Day prior to the prepayment date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be), to convert this Note (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple
of $1,000), into fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the Company at the rate (or at the then current adjusted rate if an adjustment has been made as provided below) of 2,000 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Note (such number of shares of Common Stock issuable for each $1,000 principal amount of the Note, which shall initially be 2,000, the “Conversion
Rate”) by surrender of this Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank to the Company at the Designated Office, accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder hereof elects to convert this Note (or if less than the entire principal amount hereof is to be converted, specifying the portion hereof to be converted).  The term “Conversion Price” on any day shall equal $1,000 divided by
the Conversion Rate in effect on such day.

 

(2)           In the event that the conversion of this Note into shares of Common Stock would require the Company and the Holder of this Note to file notification and report forms with the Federal Trade Commission and Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “FTC”)
pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), then the Holder of this Note and the Company agree (i) to use their best efforts to complete all applicable filings and provide all necessary information as required pursuant to the HSR Act, and (ii) such conversion of this Note into shares of Common Stock shall not occur until such time as the required filings are made pursuant to the HSR
Act and the required waiting periods have passed or early termination notifications have been granted by the FTC.

 

The Company shall, if the Holder so elects, deliver the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to any third party designated by the Holder, subject to compliance with Sections 3(f) and 8(c) – (g) hereof.

 

(b) The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

 

- 4 -

 

(1) If the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the Determination Date for such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date.

 

(2) If the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a
price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 3(b)) of the Common Stock on the Determination Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such
Determination Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible) for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or into which the convertible
securities so offered are convertible) for subscription or purchase, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date.  The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.  Upon the expiration of any right, option or warrant to purchase Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this paragraph (2)
of Section 3(b), if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Rate shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed to the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect had the adjustment of the Conversion Rate made upon the issuance of such right, option or warrant been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such right, option and warrant actually
exercised.

 

(3) If the outstanding Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective
shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced.  Any such increase or reduction, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately 

 

 

- 5 -

 

after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(4) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, or other property (including securities, but
excluding (i) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section 3(b), (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section 3(b) and (iv) any merger or consolidation to which Section 3(h) applies (the “Distributed Property”)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Determination Date for such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 3(b)) of the Common Stock on such Determination Date less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (4) of Section 3(b)) on the Determination Date of
the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Determination Date; provided, however,
that if the Distributed Property consists of shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary, the Company may, at its option and in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, elect to make adequate provision so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of such shares of capital stock that the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted such Note on the record date.  If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes
of this paragraph (4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities constituting such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the current market price per share pursuant to paragraph (8) of this Section 3(b).

 

If the Company should adopt a shareholder rights plan (a “Rights Plan”), upon conversion of this Note into Common Stock, the holder of this Note will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated
from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan.  Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to the Rights Plan in compliance with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 3(b).

 

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger
Event”):  (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also 

 

 

- 6 -

 

issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 3(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 3(b) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have
been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 3(b).  If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the original issue date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall
be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section was made, (x) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect
to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (y) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

 

(5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 3(b) or a
merger or consolidation to which Section 3(h) applies), immediately after the close of business on such Determination Date, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination
Date minus the amount of such cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Determination Date) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date.

 

(6)           In case of a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer or exchange (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance
(up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate 

 

 

- 7 -

 

consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution), of the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (7) of this Section 3(b)) as of the last time tenders or exchanges could
have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion
Rate immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of the Expiration Time multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time less (B) the combined tender and cash amount, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the
current market price per share of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to and any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”).

 

(7) If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(b)(7) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to either (i) in the case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, the lesser of $0.25 per share or the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such issue or sale or (ii) in the case of the issuance or sale of Options or other Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Applicable Price and the Conversion Rate shall be increased to an amount equal to $1,000 divided
by such new Conversion Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Rate under this Section 3(b)(7), the following shall be applicable:

 

(A)           If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise
of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 3(b)(7)(A) the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such
Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of 

 

 

- 8 -

 

consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate
shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 

(B)           If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 3(7)(B), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Rate had been or are to be made pursuant to
other provisions of this Section 3(b)(7), no further adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

(C)           If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 3(b)(7)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of
the date of issuance of this Note are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate then in effect.

 

(D)           In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to
have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued 

 

 

- 9 -

 

or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair
value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Price of such securities on the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net
assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company within five (5) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation.  If the Holder disagrees with the determination of the Board of Directors and gives written notice of such disagreement to the Company
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the
fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in exchange for the extinguishment of any invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability or obligation denominated in U.S. dollars or any other currency, then the consideration received by the Company will be deemed to be the U.S. dollar amount of such extinguished invoice, account payable, loan, advance, debt, liability
or obligation.

 

(E)           If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(F)           No adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (7) with respect to matters or events for which the Conversion Rate adjusts pursuant to paragraphs (1), (3), (5) and (6) of this Section 3(b).  In the event that an event would result in an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under both paragraph (2) or (4) of this Section 3(b) and this paragraph (7), an adjustment shall be made under only such applicable paragraph that results in the lowest Conversion Rate.

 

(8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) or (6) of this Section 3(b), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the average of the 

 

 

- 10 -

 

daily Closing Prices for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days commencing ten (10) Trading Days before the earlier of (i) the day in question and (ii) the day before the “ex” date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation.  For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex date”, when used with
respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

 

(9) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (8)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such rate; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (8) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

 

(10) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Note or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section 3(b) as it considers
to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

 

(11) For purposes of this Section 3(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued
in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.  The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

 

(c) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided in Section 3(b), the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 3(b) and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of
the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and shall promptly deliver such certificate to the Holder.

 

(d) In case:

 

(1) the Company shall declare a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock that would require any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b); or

 

(2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

 

(3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a

party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

(4)  of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or

 

(5) the Company or any Subsidiary shall commence a tender offer for all or a portion of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (or shall amend any such tender offer);

 

then the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days (or ten (10) days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record, expiration or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, (y) the date on which the right to make tenders under such tender offer expires or (z) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.  Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 3(d).

 

(e) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note, the full number of shares of Common
Stock then issuable upon the conversion of this Note.

 

(f) Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of the Note.  The Company shall not, however,
be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of this Note, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

 

(g) The Company agrees that all Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversion of the Note, upon such delivery, will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable (and shall be issued out of
the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock) and, except as provided in Section 3(f), the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(h) In case of any recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination covered by paragraph
(3) of this Section 3(b)), or any consolidation of the Company with any other Person, any merger of the Company into another Person or of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the outstanding Common Stock), or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company (collectively, a “Capital Reorganization”),
in each case as a result of which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) (collectively, “Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the Person formed by such Capital Reorganization, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder of this Note a supplemental agreement providing
that such Holder has the right thereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible as specified in Section 3(a), to convert this Note only into the kind and amount of Reference Property receivable upon such Capital Reorganization by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated,
into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Capital Reorganization.  In
the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in a recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer, the Company will make adequate provision whereby the Holder shall have the opportunity, on a timely basis, to determine the form of Reference Property into which this Note shall be convertible.  The Company shall not become party to any such recapitalization,
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer unless the terms of such transaction are consistent with the foregoing.  Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.  The above provisions of this Section 3(h) shall similarly apply to successive Capital
Reorganizations.  If this Section 3(h) applies to any event or occurrence, then the other provisions of Section 3(b) shall not apply.

 

(i) No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  If any fractional share of stock otherwise would be issuable upon the conversion of this Note, the
Company may elect to make an adjustment therefore in cash based upon the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of conversion, or in lieu of making such cash payment, the Company may elect to round up to the next whole share the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion.

 

 

- 13 -

 

(j) The Company (i) will effect all registrations with, and obtain all approvals by, all governmental authorities that may be necessary under any United States Federal or state law (including the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state
securities and Blue Sky laws) for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to be lawfully issued and delivered as provided herein, and thereafter publicly traded (if permissible under the Securities Act) and qualified or listed as contemplated by clause (ii) (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to register the offer, sale or resale of Common Stock issuable on conversion hereof under the Securities Act except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement); and (ii) if required,
will list the Common Stock required to be issued and delivered upon conversion of the Note, prior to such issuance or delivery, on each national securities exchange on which outstanding Common Stock is listed or quoted at the time of such delivery, or if the Common Stock is not then listed on any securities exchange, to qualify the Common Stock for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other inter-dealer quotation system (including, without limitation, the OTC Bulletin Board), if any, on which the Common
Stock is then quoted.

Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert this Note (or the portion hereof with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised) shall continue until the close

Company duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the

Trademark Office or the Copyright Office, that may be necessary or desirable to record, maintain, preserve, protect and perfect Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, the Lien granted to Secured Party in the Collateral and the first priority of such Lien;

 

(b)   Except to the extent that Secured Party gives its prior written consent:

 

(i)   Debtor (either itself or through licensees) will continue to use its trademarks in connection with each and every trademark class of goods or services applicable to its current line of products or services as reflected in its current
catalogs, brochures, price lists or similar materials in order to maintain such trademarks in full force and effect free from any claim of abandonment for nonuse, and Debtor will not (and will not permit any licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material trademark may become invalidated;

 

(ii)   Debtor will not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any material patent registrations may become abandoned or dedicated to the public domain or the remedies available against potential infringers weakened and shall notify Secured
Party immediately if it knows of any reason or has reason to know that any patent registration may become abandoned or dedicated; and

 

(iii)   Debtor will not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any material registered copyrights or mask works may become abandoned or dedicated to the public domain or the remedies available against potential infringers weakened and
shall notify Secured Party immediately if it knows of any reason or has reason to know that any registered copyright or mask work may become abandoned or dedicated to the public domain.

 

(c)   While any Obligations remain outstanding or Secured Party has any commitment to extend credit under any Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Debtor shall not register or cause to be registered with
the United States Copyright Office any copyright registrations with respect to any proprietary software of Debtor or any other property of Debtor that may be registered with the United States Copyright Office.

 

(d)   Subject to Section 5(c), Debtor will take all necessary steps in any proceeding before the Patent and Trademark Office, the Copyright Office or any similar office or agency
in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to diligently prosecute or maintain, as applicable, each application and registration of the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and mask works, including filing of renewals, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings (except to the extent that dedication, abandonment or invalidation is permitted hereunder).

 

(e)   While any Obligations are outstanding, Debtor shall (i) make application to the Patent and Trademark Office to register any material unpatented but patentable inventions developed by Debtor or its employees (within the scope of
their employment), unless Debtor, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, deems any such patent not to have any significant commercial value or determines that its rights thereunder are better preserved as a trade secret; and (ii) make application to the Patent and Trademark Office to register any registerable but unregistered material Trademarks used by Debtor in connection with its products or services.

 

(f)   Debtor shall (i) use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and mask works, (ii) maintain consistent standards of quality in its manufacture of products sold under the trademarks

to remedy any infringement of any Trademark owned by Debtor.

 

(h)   Debtor shall maintain with each employee who may have access to the trade secrets of Debtor an agreement by which such employee agrees not to disclose such trade secrets and with each employee who may be the inventor of patentable inventions
(invented within the scope of such employee’s employment) an invention assignment agreement requiring such employee to assign all rights to such inventions, including patents and patent applications, to Debtor and further requiring such employee to cooperate fully with Debtor, its successors in interest, including Secured Party, and their counsel, in the prosecution of any patent application or in any litigation involving the invention, whether such cooperation is required during such employee’s employment
with Debtor or after the termination of such employment.

 

(i)   Debtor shall have the right and obligation to commence and diligently prosecute such suits, proceedings or other actions for infringement or other damage, or reexamination or reissue proceedings, or opposition or cancellation proceedings
as are reasonable to protect any of its Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, mask works or trade secrets.  No such suit, proceeding or other actions shall be settled or voluntarily dismissed, nor shall any party be released or excused of any claims of or liability for infringement, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

8.   Authorized Action by Secured Party.  Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest)
and agrees that Secured Party may perform (but Secured Party shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Debtor or any third party for failure so to do) any act which Debtor is obligated by this Security Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Debtor might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including the right to (a) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property
now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Collateral; (c) make any compromise or settlement, and take any action it deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (d) insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (e) pay any indebtedness of Debtor relating to the Collateral; and (f) execute
UCC financing statements and other documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder; provided, however, that Secured Party shall not exercise any such powers granted pursuant to subsections (a) through (c) unless an Event of Default exists.  Debtor agrees to reimburse Secured Party upon demand for any reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
Secured Party may incur while acting as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are included in the Obligations.  It is further agreed and understood between the parties hereto that such care as Secured Party gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like kind shall constitute reasonable care of the Collateral when in Secured Party’s possession; provided, however,
that Secured Party shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest, or give any notice and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any prior party or any other person in connection with the Obligations or with respect to the Collateral.

 

9.   Default and Remedies.

 

(a)   Default.  Debtor shall be deemed in default under this Security Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

(b)   Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC,
all rights granted by this Security Agreement and by law, including the right to:  (a) require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and 

 

 

- 11 -

 

make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party; and (b) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate and in connection with such preparation and disposition, without charge,
use any Trademark, trade name, Copyright, Patent or technical process used by Debtor.  Debtor hereby agrees that ten (10) days’ notice of any intended sale or disposition of any Collateral is reasonable.  In furtherance of Secured Party’s rights hereunder, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without royalty or other payment by Secured Party, but only in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder) to use, license or sublicense
any Patent, Trademark, trade name, Copyright or other Intellectual Property in which Debtor now or hereafter has any right, title or interest together with the right of access to all media in which any of the foregoing may be recorded or stored.

 

(c)   Litigation and Other Proceedings.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right but not the obligation
to bring suit or institute proceedings in the name of Debtor or Secured Party to enforce any rights in the Collateral, in which event Debtor shall at the request of Secured Party do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by Secured Party in aid of such enforcement.  If Secured Party elects not to bring suit to enforce any right under the Collateral, Debtor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to cause to cease any
infringement of any right under the Collateral by any Person and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.
