SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

	
$____________

	
November 21, 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ideal Power Converters, Inc. (the “Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of ______________ or his successors or assigns (the “Holder”) the principal amount of ________________ Dollars ($_______________) (the "Principal Amount").  This Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note shall be referred to herein as the “Note”.

 

1.           Purpose.  This Note is made and delivered by the Maker to the Holder pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2012 (the “Original Issue Date”), by and among the Maker, the Escrow Agent, the Holder, and the other Purchasers of the Maker’s Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”).  This Note is one of a series of substantially identical Notes issued by the Maker under the Purchase Agreement.  All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

2.           Interest.  Interest on the Principal Amount from time-to-time remaining unpaid shall accrue from the date of this Note at the higher of: (i) the rate of one percent (1%) per annum, simple interest; or (ii) at the lowest rate that may accrue without causing the imputation of interest under the Internal Revenue Code.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and a 30 day month.

3.           Maturity Date.  All amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) November 21, 2013 (the "Calendar Due Date"), (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) or (iii) the closing of an IPO Financing (as defined below).

4.           Method of Repayment.

4.1           Mandatory Conversion Upon Initial Public Offering.  If, prior to the Calendar Due Date, the Maker closes a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of its common stock that raises gross proceeds of at least $10 million (the "IPO Financing"), the amounts payable hereunder shall be repaid with shares of the Maker's Common Stock in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5.1 of this Note.

4.2           Other Optional Conversions.  At any time prior to a conversion pursuant to paragraph 4.1 above or the Calendar Due Date, including in the event that the Maker consummates a Change of Control, at the option of the Holder all amounts payable under this Note may be converted into shares of the Maker’s Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.1 below.  In the event of a conversion for any reason other than the closing of an IPO Financing or a Change of Control, this Note shall be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the Principal Amount and accrued interest by (y) the lower of (i) $1.46 or (ii) 0.70 of the per share consideration paid in the most recent Private Equity Financing to occur prior to the Holder's election (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof).

4.3           Repayment Election.  If this Note is not repaid prior to the Calendar Due Date in accordance with paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2 above, or if, by the Calendar Due Date this Note is not cancelled and replaced in accordance with the terms of Section 5.8 below, the Holder may elect to be repaid on the Calendar Due Date in one of the following ways: (i) the Holder may elect to receive, and the Maker shall repay, all amounts payable hereunder in a lump sum, in lawful money of the United States, which payment shall be equal to the Principal Amount and all accrued interest or (ii) the Holder may elect to receive the lump sum payment in shares of the Maker's Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph 5.2 below.

4.4           Prepayment Right.  The Maker has the right to prepay this Note in lawful money of the United States with the written consent of the Holder.  If this Note is prepaid in lawful money of the United States prior to an IPO, the payment amount shall equal 110% of the Principal Amount.

5.           Conversion of Note.  The following provisions shall govern the conversion of any and all amounts due under this Note.

5.1           Conversion in Conjunction with an IPO Financing or a Change of Control.  In the event of an IPO Financing which closes prior to the Calendar Due Date, the Note shall have a conversion price equal to the lower of 0.70 times the IPO Price or $1.46 (the "IPO Conversion Price").  The "IPO Price" means the price per share paid by public investors in the IPO, without regard to any underwriting discount or expense (as appropriately adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof).  In the event of a Change of Control which closes prior to the Calendar Due Date, the Note shall have a conversion price equal to the lower of 0.70 times the per share consideration paid in the Change of Control transaction or $1.46 per share (the "Change of Control Price").

5.2           Conversion in Conjunction with an Election.  In the event that the Holder elects to receive payment of this Note in shares of the Maker's Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph 4.3(ii) above, the Note shall have a conversion price equal to the lower of 0.70 times the price per share paid by investors in the most recent Private Equity Financing to occur prior to the Calendar Due Date or $1.46, after giving effect to adjustments that reflect stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Maker’s capital stock after the date hereof) (the "Private Financing Conversion Price").

5.3           Conversion Rate.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to subparagraphs 5.1 or 5.2 shall be determined by dividing (x) the Principal Amount and accrued interest (the "Conversion Amount") by (y) the IPO Conversion Price, the Change of Control Price, the Private Financing Conversion Price or $1.46, as applicable.

 

5.4           No Fractional Shares.  The Maker shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Maker shall round up such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.  The Maker shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion.

5.5           Mechanics of Conversion.

5.5.1           Conversion upon an IPO Financing or Change of Control.  The closing of an IPO Financing or a Change of Control prior to the Calendar Due Date will be the "Conversion Date".  Within 20 days of the Conversion Date, the Maker shall transmit to the Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock representing full repayment of the Conversion Amount on the Conversion Date, together with an explanation of the calculation.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Maker as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

5.5.2           Voluntary Conversion.  If this Note is voluntarily converted pursuant to paragraphs 4.2 or 4.3, the Holder shall give written notice to the Maker notifying the Maker of its election to convert.   Before the Holder shall be entitled to voluntarily convert this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note at the Maker’s principal executive office, or, if this Note has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, then, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, the Holder shall deliver an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Maker (without the requirement of a bond) or, in the case of mutilation, the Holder shall surrender and cancel this Note.  The Maker shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder at such principal executive office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Maker), together with a replacement Note (if any principal amount or interest is not converted).  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Note or the delivery of an indemnification agreement (or such later date requested by the Holder or such earlier date agreed to by the Maker and the Holder).  The person or persons entitled to receive securities issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities on such date.

5.6           Reservation of Common Stock.  Until the Notes are paid in full, the Maker shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Note a number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Maker’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Note).  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Maker does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Notes then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Maker shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Maker’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Maker to maintain the Required Reserve Amount for all the Notes then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Maker shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal.

5.7           Adjustments.  The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

5.7.1           Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If the Maker 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 Amount thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase 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 or purchase 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.

5.7.2           Reclassification, etc.  If the Maker 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 that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase 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.

 

  

-3-

  

5.7.3           Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the applicable Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.7, the Maker shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the applicable Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

5.8           Consent Required for Certain Corporate Actions.  Without the consent of at least a majority in interest of the Holders of the Notes (including the holders of the senior secured convertible promissory notes sold by the Maker on August 31, 2012 in the total principal amount of $750,000 (the "August 2012 Notes")), the Maker will not enter into any transaction that results in a merger, sale of assets or other corporate reorganization or acquisition; results in the distribution of a dividend or the repurchase of outstanding shares of Common Stock (except in accordance with the provisions of the Company's equity incentive plan); causes a liquidation proceeding or bankruptcy proceeding; results in a change to the Company's corporate status; or results in the incurrence of debt outside of normal trade debt.

6.           Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the Principal Amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The Maker and the holders of the Notes shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of the Principal Amount and interest, if any, hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only in accordance with the terms of paragraph 12.3 of this Note and by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.

7.1.9           Any Event of Default occurs with respect to any of the Notes or with respect to any of the August 2012 Notes;

7.1.10           A default by the Maker under any one or more obligations in an aggregate monetary amount in excess of $50,000 for more than 30 days after the due date, unless the Maker is contesting the validity of such obligation in good faith and has segregated cash funds equal to not less than one-half of the disputed amount;

7.3           Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all other sums due and payable to the Holder under this Note shall, at the option of the Holder, become due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, or other notice of dishonor, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker.  Any payment under this Note (i) not paid within 10 days following the Calendar Due Date or (ii) due immediately following acceleration by the Holder shall bear interest at the rate of 15% from the date of the Note until paid, subject to paragraph 7.5.

7.5           Usury Compliance.  All agreements between the Maker and the Holder are expressly limited, so that in no event or contingency whatsoever, whether by reason of the consideration given with respect to this Note, the acceleration of maturity of the unpaid Principal Amount and interest thereon, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness which is the subject of this Note exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under the applicable usury laws.  If, under any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note shall involve transcending the highest interest rate permitted by law which a court of competent jurisdiction deems applicable, then the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to such maximum rate, and if, under any circumstances whatsoever, the Holder shall ever receive as interest an amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal Amount under this Note and not to the payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount under this Note, such excess shall be refunded to the Maker.  This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between the Maker and the Holder.

8.           Replacement of Note.  Upon receipt by the Maker of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Note and (in case of loss, theft, or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, if mutilated, the Maker will make and deliver a new Note of like tenor in lieu of this Note.

The Maker shall not, and the Maker shall not permit any of its subsidiaries (is any) to, directly or indirectly, redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any indebtedness, whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, such indebtedness if at the time such payment is due or is otherwise made or, after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or that with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

10.5           Valid Issuance of Securities.  The Maker covenants that the securities issuable upon the conversion of this Note will, upon conversion of this Note, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof.

11.2           “Change of Control” means any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Maker, either voluntary or involuntary, and shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the acquisition of the Maker by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation) unless the Maker’s shareholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the Maker’s acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity, or its direct or indirect parent entity (except that any bona fide equity or debt financing transaction for capital raising purposes shall not be deemed a Change of Control for this purpose) or (ii) a sale, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker, including a sale, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker’s subsidiaries, if such assets constitute substantially all of the assets of the Maker and such subsidiaries taken as a whole.

12.1           Amendment and Waiver by the Holders.  The Notes, including this Note, may be amended, modified, or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions of the Notes may be given, if the Maker and holders of an aggregate majority of the Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, consent to the amendment; provided, however, that no term of this Note may be amended or waived in such a way as to adversely affect the Holder disproportionately to the holder or holders of any other Notes without the written consent of the Holder and neither the principal balance or interest rate of the Note may be amended or modified without the consent of the Holder.  Such consent may not be effected orally, but only by a signed statement in writing.  Any such amendment or waiver shall apply to and be binding upon the Holder of this Note, upon each future holder of this Note, and upon the Maker, whether or not this Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

12.2                           Severability.  In the event that for any reason one or more of the provisions of this Note or their application to any person or circumstance shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provision shall nevertheless remain valid, legal, and enforceable in all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible.  In addition, any such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

12.3                           Assignment; Binding Effect.  The Maker may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 12.3 shall be null and void.  Subject to the foregoing, this Note inures to the benefit of the Holder, its successors and assigns, and binds the Maker, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the words “Holder” and “Maker” whenever occurring herein shall be deemed and construed to include such respective successors and assigns.

12.4                           Notice Generally.  All notices required to be given to any of the parties hereunder shall be given as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

12.5                           Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  The Maker hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  The Maker hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address it set forth on the signature page hereto and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Maker in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Maker’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.  THE MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

If any Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, the Debtor shall cause the Collateral Agent to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to such securities.  If any Collateral consists of security entitlements, the Debtor shall transfer such security entitlements to the Collateral Agent or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by the Collateral Agent.

4.           Voting Power Relating to Collateral/Dividends and Distributions.

4.1           So long as an Event of Default does not exist, the Debtor shall be entitled to exercise all voting power pertaining to any of the Collateral, provided such exercise is not contrary to the interests of the Subscribers and does not impair the Collateral.

4.2.           At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, all rights of the Debtor, upon notice given by the Collateral Agent, to exercise the voting power shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Subscribers, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting power and receive such payments.

4.3           All dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by Debtor contrary to the provisions of Section 4.2 shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Subscribers as security and Collateral for payment of the Obligations, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

5.1           The Subscribers at all times shall have a perfected security interest in the Collateral.  The Debtor represents that other than the security interests described on Schedule 5.1, it has and will continue to have full title to the Collateral free from any liens, leases, encumbrances, judgments or other claims, except for “Permitted Liens” (defined below).  The Subscribers’ security interest in the Collateral constitutes and will continue to constitute a first, prior and indefeasible security interest in favor of the Subscribers, subject only to the security interests described on Schedule 5.1.  The Debtor will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all instruments (including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of the Subscribers in the perfected Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches reasonably deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of the Subscribers, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the opinion of the Subscribers are reasonably likely to materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Subscribers’ security interests therein.

(c) 

	
mechanics’, workmen’s, materialmen’s, landlords’, carriers’ or other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to obligations which are not due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter under contest;

5.2           Except in connection with sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business, for fair value and in cash, and except for Collateral which is substituted by assets of identical or greater value (subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent) or which is not material to the Debtor’s business, the Debtor will not sell, transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent other than a transfer of the Collateral to a wholly-owned United States formed and located subsidiary of the Debtor with prior notice to the Collateral Agent, and provided the Collateral remains subject to the security interest herein described.  Although Proceeds of Collateral are covered by this Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers consent to any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein.  Sales of Collateral in the ordinary course of business as described above shall be free of the security interest of the Subscribers and the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute such documents (including without limitation releases and termination statements) as may be required by the Debtor to evidence or effectuate the same.

5.3           The Debtor will, at all reasonable times during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, allow Collateral Agent or its representatives free and complete access to the Collateral and all of the Debtor’s records that in any way relate to the Collateral, for such inspection and examination as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary.

5.4           The Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons other than the Subscribers.

5.5           The Debtor will promptly notify the Collateral Agent of any levy, distraint or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral, and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely to affect or impair any of the rights of the Subscribers under this Security Agreement in any material respect.

5.6           The Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other reasonable assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to perfect the security interest of the Subscribers hereunder.

5.7           The Debtor represents and warrants that it is the true and lawful exclusive owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances and claims other than those listed on Schedule 5.1.

6.           Power of Attorney.

At any time an Event of Default has occurred, and only after the applicable cure period as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and is continuing, the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as the true and lawful attorney of the Debtor, with full power of substitution, in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of the Debtor or otherwise, at any time or times, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, to take any action and to execute any instrument or document which is reasonably and prudently necessary to protect the Subscribers’ rights in the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Obligations are satisfied.

7.           Performance by the Subscribers.

If the Debtor fails to perform any material covenant, agreement, duty or obligation of the Debtor under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, the Collateral Agent may, after any applicable cure period and notice required hereunder, at any time or times in its discretion, take action to effect performance of such obligation.  All reasonable expenses of the Subscribers incurred in connection with the foregoing authorization shall be payable by the Debtor as provided in Paragraph 10.1 hereof.  No discretionary right, remedy or power granted to the Subscribers under any part of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any obligation whatsoever on the Subscribers with respect thereto, such rights, remedies and powers being solely for the protection of the Subscribers.

 

  

-6-

  

8.           Event of Default.

An event of default (“Event of Default”) shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined and described in this Agreement, in the Note, the Purchase Agreements, Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreements), and any other agreement to which the Debtor and the Subscribers are parties.  Upon and after any Event of Default, after the applicable cure period, if any, any or all of the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent may dispose of Collateral as provided herein.  A default by the Debtor of any of its material obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreements and any of the other Transaction Documents shall be an Event of Default hereunder and an “Event of Default” as defined in the Notes, and the Purchase Agreements.

9.           Disposition of Collateral.

Upon and after any Event of Default which is then continuing,

9.1           The Collateral Agent may exercise its rights with respect to each and every component of the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any other security or source of payment, in order to satisfy the Obligations.  In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the Subscribers shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the State of New York.

9.2           If any notice to the Debtor of the sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by then applicable law, five (5) business days prior written notice (which the Debtor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9.612(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code) shall be given to the Debtor of the time and place of any sale of Collateral which the Debtor hereby agrees may be by private sale.  The rights granted in this Section are in addition to any and all rights available to the Subscribers under the Uniform Commercial Code.

9.3           The Collateral Holder is authorized, at any such sale, if the Collateral Holder deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree, among other things, that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or otherwise to restrict such sale in such other manner as the Subscribers deem advisable to ensure such compliance.  Sales made subject to such restrictions shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

9.4           All proceeds received by the Subscribers in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition of Collateral, shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts payable to the Subscribers pursuant to Paragraph 10.1 hereof) against the Obligations.   Upon payment in full of all Obligations, the Debtor shall be entitled to the return of all Collateral, including cash, which has not been used or applied toward the payment of the Obligations or used or applied to any and all costs or expenses of the Subscribers incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral (unless another person is legally entitled thereto).  Any assignment of Collateral by the Collateral Holder to the Debtor shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse.  To the extent allowed by law, the Collateral Holder may purchase the Collateral and pay for such purchase by offsetting the purchase price with sums owed to the Subscribers by the Debtor arising under the Obligations or any other source.

9.5           Without limiting, and in addition to, any other rights, options and remedies the Subscribers have under the Transaction Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, or otherwise, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Holder shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Debtor expressly agrees that such a receiver will be able to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of the Debtor to the extent necessary to collect all revenues and profits thereof and to apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.

9.6           Provided an Event of Default or an event, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default is not pending, then from and after the date the Subscriber has exercised its conversion rights with respect to not less than one-half of the Principal Amount of the Subscriber’s Note and the Debtor has complied with its obligations with respect to all such conversions, then the Subscriber’s security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically released.

10.           Miscellaneous.

10.1           Expenses.  The Debtor shall pay to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Subscribers, on demand, the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and brokers’ fees, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (a) exercise or enforcement of any the rights, remedies or powers of the Subscribers hereunder or with respect to any or all of the Obligations upon breach; or (b) failure by the Debtor to perform and observe any agreements of the Debtor contained herein which are performed by Collateral Agent.

10.2           Waivers, Amendment and Remedies.  No course of dealing by the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers and no failure by the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers to exercise, or delay by the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power of the Collateral Agent or the Subscribers.

The rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent, not only hereunder, but also under any instruments and agreements evidencing or securing the Obligations and under applicable law are cumulative, and may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Subscribers from time to time in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect.

10.6           Governing Law; Venue; Severability.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction, except to the extent that the perfection of the security interest granted hereby in respect of any item of Collateral may be governed by the law of another jurisdiction.  Any legal action or proceeding against the Debtor with respect to this Agreement must be brought only in the courts in the State of New York  or United States federal courts located within the State of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Debtor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.  The Debtor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the aforesaid courts and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.7           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all other agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the matters contained herein.

10.8           Counterparts/Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and delivered by electronic transmission.

11.           Termination; Release.  When the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full or all outstanding Notes have been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Note and the Purchase Agreements, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Subscribers or the Collateral Agent, as appropriate, at the request and sole expense of the Debtor, will execute and deliver to the Debtor the proper instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the termination of the Security Agreement, and duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Debtor, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the Collateral, as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent or Subscribers.

12.           Subscribers' Powers.

12.1           Subscribers' Powers.  The powers conferred on the Subscribers hereunder are solely to protect Subscribers’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on the Subscribers to exercise any such powers.

12.3           Majority in Interest.

Any tangible or physical Collateral shall be delivered to and be held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and on behalf of all Subscribers as to their respective rights.

12.7           Matters Pertaining to Collateral Agent.

12.7.1           The Collateral Agent shall not be personally liable for any act it may do or omit to do under this Agreement while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its best judgment, and any act done or omitted by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the advice of the Collateral Agent’s attorney shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.  Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent is expressly authorized and directed to disregard any and all notices or warnings given by any of the parties, or by any other person or corporation, excepting only orders or process of court, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any and all orders, judgments or decrees of any court.  If the Collateral Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, it shall not be liable to the Subscribers or the Debtor or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that any such order, judgment or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated, or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

12.7.2           The Subscribers and the Debtor expressly agree the Collateral Agent has the absolute right at the Collateral Agent’s election, if the Collateral Agent considers it appropriate, to file an action in interpleader in a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the parties to answer and litigate their claims and rights among themselves, and the Collateral Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and funds held by him pursuant to this Agreement.  In the event such action is filed, the Debtor agrees to pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees that the Collateral Agent incurs in such interpleader action.  Upon filing of such action the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be fully released and discharged from all obligations to further perform any duties or obligations otherwise imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

12.7.3           The Collateral Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement between the Subscribers and the Debtor as to which the Collateral Agent is not a party, whether or not the Collateral Agent has knowledge thereof, nor by any notice of a claim or demand with respect to this Agreement or the Collateral.  The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.  The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any certificate, statement, request, waiver, receipt, agreement or other instrument that the Collateral Agent believes to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by an appropriate person or persons.

12.7.4           The retention and distribution of the Collateral in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall fully and completely release the Collateral Agent from any obligation or liability assumed by the Collateral Agent hereunder as to the Collateral.

12.7.5           The Collateral Agent, while in possession of the Collateral prior to or following the occurrence of an Event of Default, as hereinabove provided, and while acting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law, is not responsible for any fluctuations in value or delays in disposing of the Collateral.

12.7.6           The Collateral Agent shall not be liable in any respect for verifying the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute and/or deliver this Agreement.

12.7.7           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty with respect to the Collateral other than the duty to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it is in the Collateral Agent's possession.  The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral against any other parties, to sell the Collateral if it threatens to decline in value, or to exercise any rights represented thereby, except as directed by the Majority in Interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.7.8           The Debtor and the Subscribers agree to and each does hereby indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the Collateral Agent) and hold the Collateral Agent harmless against any and all losses, damages, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Collateral Agent by reason of it compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  If, as a result of any disagreement between the parties and/or adverse demands and claims being made by any or all of them upon the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall become involved in litigation, including any interpleader brought by the Collateral Agent as provided in this Agreement, the Debtor agrees that it shall be liable to the Collateral Agent on demand for all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees that the Collateral Agent shall incur and/or be compelled to pay by reason of such litigation.

12.8           Replacement of Collateral Agent.  In the event the Collateral Agent is or becomes unwilling or unable to act in such capacity for any reason, the Majority in Interest shall appoint a successor.  The Majority in Interest (but not Debtor) shall have the right, after delivery of written notice signed by the Majority in Interest to the Collateral Agent, to terminate the Collateral Agent and to name the Collateral Agent’s successor.

The term includes health-care-insurance receivables.  The term does not include (i) rights to payment evidenced by chattel paper or an instrument, (ii) commercial tort claims, (iii) deposit accounts, (iv) investment property, (v) letter-of-credit rights or letters of credit, or (vi) rights to payment for money or funds advanced or sold, other than rights arising out of the use of a credit or charge card or information contained on or for use with the card.

(11) "Chattel paper" means a record or records that evidence both a monetary obligation and a security interest in specific goods, a security interest in specific goods and software used in the goods, a security interest in specific goods and license of software used in the goods, a lease of specific goods, or a lease of specific goods and license of software used in the goods.  In this paragraph, "monetary obligation" means a monetary obligation secured by the goods or owed under a lease of the goods and includes a monetary obligation with respect to software used in the goods.  The term does not include (i) charters or other contracts involving the use or hire of a vessel or (ii) records that evidence a right to payment arising out of the use of a credit or charge card or information contained on or for use with the card.  If a transaction is evidenced by records that include an instrument or series of instruments, the group of records taken together constitutes chattel paper.

(30) "Document" means a document of title or a receipt of the type described in Section 7--201(2).

7-201(2): Where goods including distilled spirits and agricultural commodities are stored under a statute requiring a bond against withdrawal or a license for the issuance of receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, a receipt issued for the goods has like effect as a warehouse receipt even though issued by a person who is the owner of the goods and is not a warehouseman.

(42) "General intangible" means any personal property, including things in action, other than accounts, chattel  paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, or other minerals before extraction.

The term does not include a computer program embedded in goods that consists solely of the medium in which the program is embedded.  The term also does not include accounts, chattel paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, or oil, gas, or other minerals before extraction.

(47) "Instrument" means a negotiable instrument or any other writing that evidences a right to the payment of a monetary obligation, is not itself a security agreement or lease, and is of a type that in ordinary course of business is transferred by delivery with any necessary indorsement or assignment.  The term does not include (i) investment property, (ii) letters of credit, or (iii) writings that evidence a right to payment arising out of the use of a credit or charge card or information contained on or for use with the card.
