Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

First Forbearance and Amendment Agreement

 

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 30, 2015, by InterCloud Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we previously entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, effective as of December 29, 2015, with the investor party thereto (the “Holder”), pursuant to which we issued to the Holder a 10% senior secured convertible debenture (as subsequently amended and restated, the “Original Debenture”), dated December 29, 2015.

 

On May 17, 2016, we entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement with the Holder (the “Debenture Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Holder agreed to forbear action with respect to certain Existing Defaults (as defined in the Debenture Forbearance Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Debenture Forbearance Agreement (the “Debenture Workout”). The defaults, which were not monetary in nature, related, inter alia, to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Debenture

 

In connection with the execution of the Debenture Forbearance Agreement and the consummation of the Debenture Workout, we executed and issued a second amended and restated senior secured convertible debenture (the “Amended and Restated Debenture”), in order to, among other things, amend the Original Debenture by: (i) reducing the conversion price at which the Amended and Restated Debenture converts into our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and fixing it at $0.80 per share of Common Stock, subject to equitable adjustments as set forth in the Amended and Restated Debenture; and (ii) eliminating provisions that provided for (A) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock and (B) anti-dilution protection with respect to the Holder’s conversion rights under the Original Debenture.

 

The Amended and Restated Debenture was issued in the aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000, has a maturity date of May 31, 2019, bears interest at 0.67% per annum, and is convertible into Common Stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.80 per share, subject to equitable adjustments as set forth in the Amended and Restated Debenture. The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Amended and Restated Debenture, payable monthly in arrears as of the last Trading Day (as defined in the Amended and Restated Debenture) of each calendar month and on May 31, 2019, in cash. In addition, the Company shall pay to the Holder an additional amount equal to 7.5% of the outstanding principal amount on the Amended and Restated Debenture on each of May 31, 2017, May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2019, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended and Restated Debenture. Commencing on May 17, 2016, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to redeem up to $169,445 of the outstanding principal amount of the Amended and Restated Debenture plus the then accrued and unpaid interest thereon per calendar month in cash. The Amended and Restated Debenture contains standard events of default.

 

Senior Secured Note

 

In connection with the execution of the Debenture Forbearance Agreement and the consummation of the Debenture Workout, we executed and issued a 0.67% senior secured note (the “2.7 Note”), dated May 17, 2016, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,745,000 to the Holder. The 2.7 Note has a maturity date of May 31, 2019, bears interest at 0.67% per annum, and contains standard events of default.

 

Second Forbearance and Amendment Agreement

 

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note

 

As we disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016, we previously entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement, effective as of February 17, 2016, with VaultLogix, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VaultLogix”) and the lender thereto (the “Holder Affiliate”), pursuant to which we and VaultLogix issued to the Holder Affiliate an 8.25% senior secured convertible note (the “Original Note”), dated February 18, 2016.

 

  2  

 

 

On May 17, 2016, we entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement with VaultLogix and the Holder Affiliate (the “Note Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Holder Affiliate agreed to forbear action with respect to certain Existing Defaults (as defined in the Note Forbearance Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Note Forbearance Agreement (the “Note Workout”). The defaults, which were not monetary in nature, related, inter alia, to our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note

 

In connection with the execution of the Note Forbearance Agreement and the consummation of the Note Workout, we executed and issued an amended and restated senior secured convertible note (the “Amended and Restated Note”), in order to, among other things, amend the Original Note by: (i) reducing the conversion price at which the Amended and Restated Note converts into Common Stock and fixing it at $0.80 per share of Common Stock, subject to equitable adjustments as set forth in the Amended and Restated Debenture; and (ii) eliminating provisions that provided for (A) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock and (B) anti-dilution protection with respect to the Holder Affiliate’s conversion rights under the Original Note.

 

The Amended and Restated Note was issued in the aggregate principal amount of $11,601,054.62, has a maturity date of May 31, 2019, bears interest at 0.67% per annum, and is convertible into Common Stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.80 per share, subject to equitable adjustments as set forth in the Amended and Restated Note. The Company and VaultLogix shall pay interest to the Holder Affiliate on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Amended and Restated Note, payable monthly in arrears as of the last Trading Day (as defined in the Amended and Restated Note) of each calendar month and on May 31, 2019, in cash. In addition, the Company shall pay to the Holder Affiliate an additional amount equal to 7.5% of the outstanding principal amount on the Amended and Restated Note on each of May 31, 2017, May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2019, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amended and Restated Note. Commencing on May 17, 2016, the Holder Affiliate shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to redeem up to $322,252 of the outstanding principal amount of the Amended and Restated Note plus the then accrued and unpaid interest thereon per calendar month in cash. The Amended and Restated Note contains standard events of default.

 

Senior Secured Note

 

In connection with the execution of the Note Forbearance Agreement and the consummation of the Note Workout, we executed and issued a 0.67% senior secured note (the “5.2 Note”), dated May 17, 2016, in the aggregate principal amount of $5,220,475 to the Holder Affiliate. The 5.2 Note has a maturity date of May 31, 2019, bears interest at 0.67% per annum, and contains standard events of default.

 

Amendment Agreement

 

On May 23, 2016 we entered into an Amendment Agreement with the Holder, the Holder Affiliate, VaultLogix, and the Guarantors thereto (the “Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, we requested that (i) the Holder cause $172,000 to be withdrawn from the Blocked Account (as defined in the Original Debenture) and made available to the us, and (ii) the Holder Affiliate cause $328,000 to be withdrawn from the Deposit Account (as defined in the Original Note) and made available to VaultLogix and us, and in exchange for the foregoing (i) VaultLogix will guaranty the obligations of, and provide security for, the Amended and Restated Debenture and the 2.7 Note, (ii) the Guarantors (as defined in the Amendment Agreement) will guaranty all indebtedness due to the Holder Affiliate under the Amended and Restated Note and 5.2 Note, and (iii) we and each Guarantor (as defined in the Amendment Agreement) will provide security for all obligations owed to the Holder Affiliate under the Amended and Restated Note and the 5.2 Note in accordance with the terms of an Additional Debtor Joinder, dated May 23, 2016 (the “Joinder”), pursuant to which we and each additional party thereto agrees to be bound by the terms of that certain Security Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2016, made by VaultLogix in favor of the secured party thereto (the “February Security Agreement”).

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

The information provided under Item 1.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder and the Holder Affiliate pursuant to the Amended and Restated Debenture and the Amended and Restated Note, respectively, were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

Item 4.02(a). Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On May 23, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Company's management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and the disclosures and related communications for that period, should not be relied upon. During the course of the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, there were certain errors identified that affected the Company’s previously issued financial statements. The Company has now concluded that these errors affect the aforementioned financial statements and intends to file an amended Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as soon as practicable.

 

The Audit Committee and the Company’s management have discussed these matters with the Company’s former independent registered accountants and the Company’s current independent registered accountants, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), and both the Audit Committee and Withum are continuing to review the relevant issues. Withum will be reviewing the 2015 financial statements to be included in the Company’s amended Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and auditing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 4(c) by the second Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion; provided, however, if the Company has failed to deliver a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 4(c) by the Share Delivery Date more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, then such partial liquidated damages shall begin to accrue on the Share Delivery Date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

v.           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

  13  
 

 

vi.          Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

vii.         Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii.        Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

d)           Holder’s Conversion Limitations . The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than sixty one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

Section 5 .           Certain Adjustments .

 

a)           Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, this Debenture), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)           Subsequent Rights Offerings . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

  16  
 

 

c)           Pro Rata Distributions . During such time as this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a " Distribution "), at any time after the issuance of this Debenture, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d)           Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company , directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture), the number of shares of capital stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Debenture, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Debenture a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Debenture) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the Conversion Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Debenture immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

Section 6 .           Optional Redemption at the Election of the Holder; Forced Conversion .           

 

a)          Commencing on May 17, 2016, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to redeem in cash up to one hundred sixty nine thousand four hundred forty five dollars ($169,445) of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “ Monthly Allowance ”) per calendar month (the “ Holder Redemption Right ”). The Holder may exercise its Holder Redemption Right for a calendar month, at any time and from time to time, during such calendar month, by sending one or more written notices, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex B (each a “ Holder Redemption Notice ”), to the Company by not later than 11:59:59 P.M.

The Company shall promptly, but in any event no more than three (3) Trading Days after the date that the Holder delivers a Holder Redemption Notice to the Company (the “ Holder Redemption Payment Date ”), pay the applicable Holder Redemption Amount to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder and the Company agree that the Holder may deliver more than one Holder Redemption Notice during a calendar month provided that the sum of the Holder Redemption Amounts set forth in all of the Holder Redemption Notices delivered during such calendar month does not exceed the Monthly Allowance. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event that the Company settles or compromises the FGI Litigation or a judgment is entered against the Company in in the FGI Litigation, in any case, for an amount in excess of $150,000 (such amount in excess of $150,000, the “ FGI Resolution Amount ”), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem pursuant to this Section 6(a) an additional amount equal to the FGI Resolution Amount, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, and the Company acknowledges that in such event, that the aggregate Holder Redemption Amount set forth in all of the Holder Redemption Notices delivered during a calendar month may exceed the Monthly Allowance until the FGI Resolution Amount is reduced to zero.

 

b)           Forced Conversion . If, at any time after July 1, 2016, (i) the VWAP for Common Stock equals or exceeds two hundred percent (200%) of the Conversion Price (the “ Threshold Price ”) for any five (5) consecutive Trading Days (the “ Threshold Period ”), and (ii) the Equity Conditions have been satisfied on each Trading Day during the Threshold Period and each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the first day of the Threshold Period, then the Company shall have the option, within two (2) Trading Days after the end of any such Threshold Period, to deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ”) to cause the Holder to convert, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, a principal amount of this Debenture (a “ Forced Conversion ”), during the thirty (30) Trading Day period after the Holder’s receipt of the Forced Conversion Notice (the “ Forced Conversion Period ”), equal to the lesser of [(1) the Dollar Volume Amount for date of the Forced Conversion Notice and (2) two million dollars ($2,000,000) (such lesser amount, the “ Forced Conversion Amount ”); provided, however, if the Equity Conditions cease to be satisfied at any time during the Forced Conversion Period or the VWAP for the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the Forced Conversion Period is less than the Threshold Price, then the Holder shall be under no further obligation with respect to such Forced Conversion. The Holder shall effect any Forced Conversion by delivering one or more Notices of Conversions pursuant to Section 4 at any time, and from time to time, during the applicable Forced Conversion Period, for an aggregate principal amount equal to the Forced Conversion Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may deliver more than one Forced Conversion Notice during the term of this Debenture, provided, that it may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice during any Forced Conversion Period unless there is no further Forced Conversion Amount that is as yet unconverted. For the further avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6(b) shall be deemed to limit the Holder’s right to voluntarily convert all or any portion of this Debenture, at any time, and from time to time, in accordance with Section 4, and the Holder may submit Notices of Conversion for a principal amount of this Debenture in excess of the Forced Conversion Amount during any Forced Conversion Period.

Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

The Holder shall effect conversions (each a “ Conversion ”) by delivering to the Borrowers a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “ Notice of Conversion ”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such Conversion shall be effected (such date, the “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect Conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrowers unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable Conversion.

i.            Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount . The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

ii.           Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion . Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) a wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest. The Borrowers shall deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Borrowers under this Section 4(c) electronically through DTC without any restrictive legends provided that (i) the Company is in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and (ii) the Holder has delivered to the Borrowers a broker representation letter that the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificates have been sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Borrowers shall cause, at their own expense, Pryor Cashman LLP to provide any legal opinions required to deliver shares free of restrictive legends pursuant to this Section 4(c).

 

iii.          Failure to Deliver Certificates . If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Borrowers at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Borrowers shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Borrowers and the Holder shall promptly return to the Borrowers the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

iv.         Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . The Borrowers’ obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon Conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Borrowers or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrowers to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Borrowers of any such action the Borrowers may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Borrowers may not refuse Conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Borrowers post a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Borrowers shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed Conversion. If the Borrowers fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the second Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such Conversion; provided, however, if the Borrowers have failed to deliver a certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, then such partial liquidated damages shall begin to accrue on the Share Delivery Date. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Borrowers’ failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

v.          Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Borrowers fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the Conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Borrowers shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the Conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted Conversion (in which case such Conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Borrowers had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrowers shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Borrowers written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Borrowers, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrowers’ failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon Conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi.         Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the Conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such Conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vii.        Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on Conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon Conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Borrowers shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrowers the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrowers that such tax has been paid. The Borrowers shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

  11  

 

 

d)         Holder’s Conversion Limitations . The Borrowers shall not effect any Conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the Conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Borrowers each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Borrowers shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than sixty one (61) days’ prior notice to the Borrowers, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

For purposes of any such Conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any Conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Operative Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon Conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the Conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the Conversion Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Operative Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Operative Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

f)          Notice to the Holder .

To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 6 .          Optional Redemption at the Election of the Holder; Forced Conversion .

 

(a)       Commencing on May 17, 2016, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to redeem in cash up to three hundred twenty two thousand two hundred fifty two dollars ($322,252) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “ Monthly Allowance ”) per calendar month (the “ Holder Redemption Right ”). The Holder may exercise its Holder Redemption Right for a calendar month, at any time and from time to time, during such calendar month, by sending one or more written notices, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex B (each a “ Holder Redemption Notice ”), to the Company by not later than 11:59:59 P.M. (local time in New York City, New York) on the last Trading Day of such calendar month, which Holder Redemption Notices shall specify the principal amount to be redeemed and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “ Holder Redemption Amount ”). The Company shall promptly, but in any event no more than three (3) Trading Days after the date that the Holder delivers a Holder Redemption Notice to the Company (the “ Holder Redemption Payment Date ”), pay the applicable Holder Redemption Amount to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder and the Company agree that the Holder may deliver more than one Holder Redemption Notice during a calendar month provided that the sum of the Holder Redemption Amounts set forth in all of the Holder Redemption Notices delivered during such calendar month does not exceed the Monthly Allowance.

 

(b)       Forced Conversion . If, at any time after July 1, 2016, (i) the VWAP for Common Stock equals or exceeds two hundred percent (200%) of the Conversion Price (the “ Threshold Price ”) for any five (5) consecutive Trading Days (the “ Threshold Period ”), and (ii) the Equity Conditions have been satisfied on each Trading Day during the Threshold Period and each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the first day of the Threshold Period, then the Company shall have the option, within two (2) Trading Days after the end of any such Threshold Period, to deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ”) to cause the Holder to convert, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, a principal amount of this Note (a “ Forced Conversion ”), during the thirty (30) Trading Day period after the Holder’s receipt of the Forced Conversion Notice (the “ Forced Conversion Period ”), equal to the lesser of (1) the Dollar Volume Amount on the date of the Forced Conversion Notice and (2) two million dollars ($2,000,000) (such lesser amount, the “ Forced Conversion Amount ”); provided, however, if the Equity Conditions cease to be satisfied at any time during the Forced Conversion Period or the VWAP for the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the Forced Conversion Period is less than the Threshold Price, then the Holder shall be under no further obligation with respect to such Forced Conversion. The Holder shall effect any Forced Conversion by delivering one or more Notices of Conversions pursuant to Section 4 at any time, and from time to time, during the applicable Forced Conversion Period, for an aggregate principal amount equal to the Forced Conversion Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may deliver more than one Forced Conversion Notice during the term of this Note, provided, that it may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice during any Forced Conversion Period unless there is no further Forced Conversion Amount that is as yet unconverted. For the further avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6(b) shall be deemed to limit the Holder’s right to voluntarily convert all or any portion of this Note, at any time, and from time to time, in accordance with Section 4, and the Holder may submit Notices of Conversion for a principal amount of this Note in excess of the Forced Conversion Amount during any Forced Conversion Period. The Company will not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice hereunder unless it also delivers a Forced Conversion Notice under the 0.67% Note.

d)         Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Operative Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “ New York Courts ”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Operative Documents), 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 such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party 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 via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note 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 other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby.

e)         Amendments; Waivers . No provision herein may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Borrowers and the Holder, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Note shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

f)          Severability . If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Borrowers covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Borrowers from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Borrowers (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

  21  

 

 

g)         Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief .  The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Operative Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Borrowers to comply with the terms of this Note.  The Borrowers covenant to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Borrowers (or the performance thereof). Each Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Each Borrower therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Each Borrower shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm each Borrower’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

h)         Next Business Day . Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

i)          Headings . The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

j)          Secured Obligation . The obligations of the Borrowers under this Note are secured by the collateral identified in the Security Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2016, between the Debtors (as defined therein) and the Holder.

 

k)         Reservation of Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

  22  

 

 

l)          Co-Borrowers .

 

i.           Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for all of the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Note and the Operative Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (the “ Obligations ”) and the Holder may proceed against one Borrower to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against the other Borrower. This Note and the Operative Documents are a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between the Holder and any Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of the principal amount of this Note were advanced to such Borrower. The Holder may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers. Each Borrower appoints each other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of all Borrowers. This authorization cannot be revoked, and the Holder need not inquire as to one Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of another Borrower.

 

ii.          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note or any other Operative Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives, until all Obligations are paid in full, all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating a Borrower to the rights of the Holder under this Note or any other Operative Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Operative Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Operative Documents or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for the Holder and such payment shall be promptly delivered to the Holder for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

  23  

 

 

iii.         Each Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by law, notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default except as set forth herein; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase a Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; and all other notices and demands to which Borrower would otherwise be entitled by virtue of being a co-borrower or a surety. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. The Holder’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Note or the other Operative Documents shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of the Holder thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of the Holder that changes the scope of such Borrower’s risks hereunder. Each Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against the Holder any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims that such Borrower individually may now or hereafter have against another Borrower or any other Person liable to the Holder with respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever.

 

iv.        The liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if any, which the Holder may now or hereafter have against any other Person, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations. Without notice to any given Borrower and without affecting the liability of any given Borrower hereunder, the Holder may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to any other Borrower by written agreement with such other Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to another Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with respect to any other Borrower by written agreement with such other Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.

i.            Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for all of the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Note, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (the “ Obligations ”) and the Holder may proceed against one Borrower to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against the other Borrower. This Note is a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between the Holder and any Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of the principal amount of this Note were advanced to such Borrower. The Holder may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers. Each Borrower appoints each other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of all Borrowers.

ii.           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, each Borrower irrevocably waives, until all Obligations are paid in full, all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating a Borrower to the rights of the Holder under this Note) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for the Holder and such payment shall be promptly delivered to the Holder for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

  5  
 

 

iii.           Each Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by law, notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default except as set forth herein; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase a Borrower’s risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; and all other notices and demands to which Borrower would otherwise be entitled by virtue of being a co-borrower or a surety. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. The Holder’s failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Note shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of the Holder thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of the Holder that changes the scope of such Borrower’s risks hereunder.

4.2          Amendment to the December Note .

 

(a)         The December Note is hereby amended, effective on the Effective Date, by replacing the reference to “0.67%” in Section 1(b) thereof with “1.67%”.

 

(b)         In addition, to the extent that, after the date hereof, JGB grants any Release Request or otherwise releases any funds in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, then in such event the December Note shall be amended by increasing the annual rate of interest by 0.20 percentage points for each $100,000 in the aggregate released from the Blocked Account and/or the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3. Any such amendment to the December Note shall take effect on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such release of funds occurred.

(a)         The February Convertible Note is hereby amended, effective on the Effective Date, by replacing the reference to “0.67%” in the definition of “ Applicable Interest Rate ” with “1.67%”.

 

  5  

 

 

(b)         In addition, to the extent that, after the date hereof, JGB grants any Release Request or otherwise releases any funds in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, then in such event the February Convertible Note shall be amended by increasing the Applicable Interest Rate by 0.20 percentage points for each $100,000 in the aggregate released from the Blocked Account and/or the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3. Any such amendment to the February Convertible Note shall take effect on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such release of funds occurred.

(a)         The February Note is hereby amended, effective on the Effective Date, by replacing the reference to “0.67%” in Section 1(b) thereof with “1.67%”.

 

(b)         In addition, to the extent that, after the date hereof, JGB grants any Release Request or otherwise releases any funds in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, then in such event the February Note shall be amended by increasing the annual rate of interest by 0.20 percentage points for each $100,000 in the aggregate released from the Blocked Account and/or the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3. Any such amendment to the Febuary Note shall take effect on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such release of funds occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any amendment to the February Notes cause the Applicable Interest Rate to exceed 6%.

 

4.5          Illustrative Example . It is the intent of the parties that for each $100,000 in the aggregate that is released from the Deposit Account and/or the Block Account the annual rate of interest on each JGB Note shall increase by 0.20 percentage points. For example and illustrative purposes, if (A) on December 1, 2016, the annual rate of interest in effect under each JGB Note is 1.67%, and (B) on December 2, 2016, $50,000 is released from the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3 and $50,000 is released from the Blocked Account pursuant to Section 3.3, then on January 1, 2017, the annual rate of interest on each JGB Note shall be 1.87% (e.g., an increase of 0.20 percentage points).

 

4.6          Reduction in Interest Rate . To the extent that at the close of business on August 20, 2016, the balance of the Deposit Account is equal to or greater than $12,190,054.62 (or such lesser amount required to be on deposit in the Deposit Account under the February Convertible Note) and the balance of the Blocked Account is equal to or greater than $4,000,000 (or such lesser amount required to be on deposit in the Blocked Account under the December Debenture), in each case, as a result of deposits of funds to each such account by a Borrower, at such Borrower’s option, then the rate of interest in effect on each JGB Note shall be 1.17%; provided, there shall be no reduction in any default rate of interest specified in a JGB Note (regardless of whether or not such default rate is in effect at such time). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent of any release of funds subsequent to August 20, 2016, pursuant to Section 3.3, the rate of interest for each JGB Note shall be increased as provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers are under no obligation to return any funds released pursuant to Section 3 to the Blocked Account or Deposit Account.

 

  6  

 

 

4.7          Calculation of Interest . JGB’s calculation of the rate of interest in effect under each JGB Note shall be final and binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error and the Company shall certify in writing the rate of interest in effect under each JGB Note upon JGB’s request.

 

4.8          Reconfirmation of Liens and Security Interest . Nothing herein shall impair or limit the continuation of the liens and security interests granted to JGB Waltham under the December Security Agreement, the other Security Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), pursuant to the Consent, dated March 9, 2016, by and among the Company and JGB Waltham, the December Forbearance Agreement or any deposit account control agreement with any depositary bank (collectively, the “ December Security Instruments ”), which liens are continued in full force and effect pursuant to and as provided therein, and which liens secure all December Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that all references to the “Obligations” in any Security Instrument include the December Note and the December Debenture as amended hereby and that reference to the “Debenture” in any December Security Instrument means the December Debenture and the December Note as amended hereby. The Company and each Guarantor acknowledges the continuing existence and priority of all liens and security interests granted, conveyed, and assigned pursuant to the December Security Instruments to which it is a party, in accordance with such instruments, and agrees to perform such acts and duly authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record such additional documents and certificates as JGB Waltham requests in order to perfect, preserve, and protect such liens and security interests.

 

4.9          Reconfirmation of Guarantees . Each Guarantor acknowledges the amendment of the December Debenture and the December Note pursuant to this Agreement and ratifies and confirms that the December Subsidiary Guaranty executed by such Guarantor is not released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or otherwise adversely affected by such amendment and continues to guarantee and assure the full payment and performance of all present and future obligations under the December Debenture, the December Note and the other December Debenture Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that all references to the “Indebtedness” in the December Subsidiary Guaranty include the December Note and the December Debenture as amended hereby and that reference to the “Debenture” in the December Subsidiary Guaranty means the December Debenture and the December Note as amended hereby.

 

  7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an assignment of any asset which, in the event of an assignment, becomes void by operation of applicable law or the assignment of which is otherwise prohibited by applicable law (in each case to the extent that such applicable law is not overridden by Sections 9-406, 9-407 and/or 9-408 of the UCC or other similar applicable law); provided , however , that to the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall create a valid security interest in such asset and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall create a valid security interest in the proceeds of such asset.

 

(b) “ Intellectual Property ” means the collective reference to all rights, priorities and privileges relating to intellectual property, whether arising under United States, multinational or foreign laws or otherwise, including, without limitation, (i) all copyrights arising under the laws of the United States, any other country or any political subdivision thereof, whether registered or unregistered and whether published or unpublished, all registrations and recordings thereof, and all applications in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all registrations, recordings and applications in the United States Copyright Office, (ii) all letters patent of the United States, any other country or any political subdivision thereof, all reissues and extensions thereof, and all applications for letters patent of the United States or any other country and all divisions, continuations and continuations-in-part thereof, (iii) all trademarks, trade names, corporate names, company names, business names, fictitious business names, trade dress, service marks, logos, domain names and other source or business identifiers, and all goodwill associated therewith, now existing or hereafter adopted or acquired, all registrations and recordings thereof, and all applications in connection therewith, whether in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or in any similar office or agency of the United States, any State thereof or any other country or any political subdivision thereof, or otherwise, and all common law rights related thereto, (iv) all trade secrets arising under the laws of the United States, any other country or any political subdivision thereof, (v) all rights to obtain any reissues, renewals or extensions of the foregoing, (vi) all licenses for any of the foregoing, and (vii) all causes of action for infringement of the foregoing.

(d) “ Obligations ” means all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of the Debtor to the Secured Party, including, without limitation, all obligations under this Agreement, the Note, and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from the Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on the Note and the loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other reasonable fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Debtor from time to time under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) all amounts (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Debtor.

 

(e) “ Organizational Documents ” means with respect to the Debtor, the documents by which the Debtor was organized (such as a certificate of incorporation, certificate of limited partnership or articles of organization, and including, without limitation, any certificates of designation for preferred stock or other forms of preferred equity) and which relate to the internal governance of the Debtor (such as bylaws, a partnership agreement or an operating, limited liability or members agreement).

(i) “ UCC ” means the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and or any other applicable law of any state or states which has jurisdiction with respect to all, or any portion of, the Collateral or this Agreement, from time to time. It is the intent of the parties that defined terms in the UCC should be construed in their broadest sense so that the term “Collateral” will be construed in its broadest sense. Accordingly if there are, from time to time, changes to defined terms in the UCC that broaden the definitions, they are incorporated herein and if existing definitions in the UCC are broader than the amended definitions, the existing ones shall be controlling.

 

2. Grant of Security Interest in Collateral . As an inducement for the Secured Party to extend the loans as evidenced by the Note and to secure the complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as the case may be, of all of the Obligations, the Debtor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Secured Party a security interest in and to, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of its right, title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to, the Collateral (a “ Security Interest ” and, collectively, the “ Security Interests ”).

Contemporaneously or prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Debtor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent (a) any and all certificates and other instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities, and (b) any and all certificates and other instruments or documents representing any of the other Collateral, in each case, together with all Necessary Endorsements. The Debtor is, contemporaneously with the execution hereof, delivering to Agent, or have previously delivered to Agent, a true and correct copy of each Organizational Document governing any of the Pledged Securities.

 

4. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Debtor . Except as set forth under the corresponding section of the disclosure schedules delivered to the Secured Party concurrently herewith (the “ Disclosure Schedules ”), which Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof, the Debtor represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Party as follows:

 

(a) The Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Debtor and no further action is required by the Debtor. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Debtor, enforceable against the Debtor in accordance with its terms except as (i) such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity, (ii) limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) The Debtor has no place of business or offices where its books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. Except as specifically set forth on Schedule A , the Debtor is the record owner of the real property where such Collateral is located, and there exist no mortgages or other liens on any such real property except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Note). Except as disclosed on Schedule A , none of such Collateral is in the possession of any consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or processor.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Debtor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Agent nor the Secured Party (i) has any duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) the Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Debtor thereunder. Neither the Agent nor the Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or the Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Agent or the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent or the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent or the Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.

 

13. Security Interests Absolute . All rights of the Secured Party and all obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.

 

19

 

 

14. Term of Agreement . This Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Note have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of the Debtor contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Annex B hereto) shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

 

15. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances .

 

(a) The Debtor authorizes the Agent, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Agent and its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as the Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of the Agent or the Debtor, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Agent; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) to transfer any Intellectual Property or provide licenses respecting any Intellectual Property; and (vi) generally, at the option of the Agent, and at the expense of the Debtor, at any time, or from time to time, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and to do all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and the Note all as fully and effectually as the Debtor might or could do; and the Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The designation set forth herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents or other documents or agreements to which the Debtor is subject or to which the Debtor is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party is specifically authorized to execute and file any applications for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.

(c) The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as the Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of the Debtor where permitted by law, which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of like import, and ratifies all such actions taken by the Agent. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

17. Other Security .

18. Appointment of Agent . The Secured Party hereby appoints JGB (Cayman) Concord Ltd. to act as its agent (“ JGB Concord ” or “ Agent ”) for purposes of exercising any and all rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder. Such appointment shall continue until revoked in writing by the holders of the Note, at which time the holders of the Note shall appoint a new Agent, provided that JGB Concord may not be removed as Agent unless JGB Concord shall then hold less than $500,000 in principal amount of the Note. The Agent shall have the rights, responsibilities and immunities set forth in Annex B hereto.

 

21

 

 

19. Miscellaneous .

 

(a) No course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Note or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

 

(c) This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Debtor and the Secured Party holding the Note, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.

 

(d) If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

(e) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

22

 

 

(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Debtor may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Party (other than by merger). The Secured Party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person (as defined in the Note) to whom the Secured Party assigns or transfers any Obligations, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Obligations, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Secured Party.”

 

(g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

 

(h) Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, the Debtor agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Note (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, in the State of New York. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, the Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, in the State of New York 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 proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement 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. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

23

 

 

(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

(j) The Debtor shall be liable for the obligations of the Debtor to the Secured Party hereunder.

 

(k) The Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Agent and the Secured Party and its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “ Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Note, the Securities Exchange Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

 

(l) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Agent or the Secured Party to liability as a partner in the Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in the Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall Agent or the Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of the Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until the Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted for the Debtor as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.

 

(m) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any partner or member, as applicable, of the Debtor or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, the Debtor hereby grants such consent and approval and waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.

ANNEX B

to

SECURITY

AGREEMENT

 

THE AGENT

 

1. Appointment . The Secured Party (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the Security Agreement to which this Annex B is attached (the " Agreement ")), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate JGB (Cayman) Concord Ltd. (“ JGB Concord ” or “ Agent ”) as the Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. The Secured Party shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Operative Document (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Agreement) and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

 

2. Nature of Duties . The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Operative Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Debtor or the Secured Party; and nothing in the Agreement or any other Operative Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Operative Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

 

3. Lack of Reliance on the Agent . Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Debtor and its subsidiaries in connection with the Secured Party’s investment in the Debtor, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Debtor and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtor or the Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or any other Operative Document, or for the financial condition of the Debtor or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Operative Document, or the financial condition of the Debtor, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Note or any of the other Operative Documents.

 

 

 

4. Certain Rights of the Agent . The Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of the Secured Party. To the extent practical, the Agent shall request instructions from the Secured Party with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Secured Party holding the Note; if such instructions are not provided despite the Agent’s request therefor, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Party in respect of actions to be taken by the Agent; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) the Secured Party shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Operative Document, and the Debtor shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Operative Documents or applicable law.

 

5. Reliance . The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Operative Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Debtor or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

 

 

 

6. Indemnification . To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtor, the Secured Party will reimburse and indemnify the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement or any other Operative Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement or any other Operative Document except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Agent, the Agent may require the Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.

 

7. Resignation by the Agent .

 

(a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Operative Documents at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtor and the Secured Party. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.

 

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Party holding the Note shall appoint a successor Agent hereunder.

 

(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period, the Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Party appoints a successor Agent as provided above. If a successor Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period, the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Debtor and the Secured Party in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Debtor on demand.

 

8. Rights with respect to Collateral . The Secured Party agrees with the Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any action against the Agent in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that the Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and the other Operative Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this Annex B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.
