Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement . |
On July 2, 2018 (the “ Effective Date ”), Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. (the “ Company ”) executed and delivered to Panacea Venture Management Company Ltd. (the “ Holder ”), a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “ Note ”) with respect to Loans (defined below) in the aggregate amount of up to US$1.5 million. Simultaneously with the issuance of the Note, the Holder made a loan to the Company in the amount of $1.0 million (“ First Tranche Loan ”). On or before July 15, 2018, the Holder has agreed to make a second loan to the Company in the amount of $500,000 (“ Second Tranche Loan ” and together with the First Tranche Loan, the “ Loans ”).
The Loans will bear interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until paid in full or converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share of $4.00, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTCQB ® trading market operated by the OTC Markets Group on June 29, 2018, the trading day immediately preceding the funding date for the First Tranche Loan. In addition, in lieu of converting the Note, the Holder may deliver the Note into a private placement in which Panacea Venture Healthcare Fund I L.P., an affiliate of Holder, may participate. There can be no assurance that such a private placement will be completed.
In connection with the Loans, the Company issued to Holder warrants (the “ Series D Wa rrants ”) to purchase 187,500 shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price of $4.00 per Warrant Share (the “ Exercise Price ”). The Warrants may be exercised at any time beginning six months after the date of issuance and through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that the holder thereof would, following such exercise, beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, which percentage may be increased, decreased or waived by such holder upon sixty-one days’ notice to the Company. The Warrants also contain customary provisions that adjust the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in the event of a corporate transaction.
The Company issued the Note and Warrants to Holder pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and Regulation S under, and Section 4(a)(2) of, the Securities Act of 1933.
Copies of the Note and the form of Warrant are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, and 4.1, respectively.
The foregoing descriptions of the Note and Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the instruments filed as exhibits to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The Note and Warrants are being filed to provide investors and the Company’s stockholders with information regarding the terms thereof and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ Commission ”). In connection with the Note and Series D Warrants, each of the parties thereto may have made customary representations, warranties and covenants, which were made by the parties to and solely for the benefit of each other and any expressly intended third party beneficiaries in the context of all of the terms and conditions of the agreements and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants. Furthermore, investors and stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or continuing intentions of the parties, since they were only made as of the date of the Note. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s reports or other filings with the Commission.

Series D Warrant:
Number of Shares of Common Stock:
Date of Issuance: July 2, 2018 (“ Issuance Date ”)
Windtree Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Panacea Venture Management Company Ltd., the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Series D Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Series D Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), at any time or times from the date that is six (6) months after the Issuance Date (the “ Exercisability Date ”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred (187,500) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”).
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT .
|
|
(a) |
Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant to the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “ Warrant Agent ” and “ Transfer Agent ”) and (ii) if applicable, delivery of this Warrant to the Warrant Agent for cancellation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Warrant Agent until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Warrant Agent for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Warrant Agent. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. The Exercise Notice shall indicate if the Holder has elected a Cashless Exercise (as defined below) pursuant to Section 1(d) of this Warrant. Within two (2) Business Days following the Exercise, Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, unless such Holder has elected a Cashless Exercise pursuant to Section 1(c). On or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the Warrant has been duly Exercised (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company or the Warrant Agent shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder and provided the Holder causes its prime broker to initiate a Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) deposit, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its DWAC system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or upon a cash Exercise at a time when a registration statement covering the issuance of Warrant Shares is not effective, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Exercise, provided that, unless such Holder has elected a Cashless Exercise pursuant to Section 1(c), the Company shall not be obligated to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder unless the Company has received the Aggregate Exercise Price by the Share Delivery Date. Upon Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof. |
|
|
(b) |
Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means a per Warrant Share price of $4.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein. |
|
|
(c) |
Cashless Exercise . In the event that a registration statement covering the issuance of Warrant Shares is not effective, the Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”): |
|
Net Number = (A x B) – (A x C)
B
|
||||
|
A = |
|
the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. |
|
B = |
|
the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice; and |
|
C = |
|
the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. |
|
The Company shall notify the Holder at any time prior to the Expiration Date that a registration statement covering the issuance of Warrant Shares is not effective. For sake of clarity, in the event that neither a registration statement nor an exemption from registration is available, there is no circumstance that requires the Company to effect a net cash settlement of the Warrant. |
||
|
|
(e) |
Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed in accordance with the delivery obligations set forth in this Warrant. |
|
|
(f) |
Beneficial Ownership . The Company shall not effect any exercise of the Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, to the extent that, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “ Attribution Parties ”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) after giving effect to such exercise, or immediately prior to giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Common Stock Equivalents of the Company that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Exchange Act ”), it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(f) applies, the determination of whether the Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise (or partial exercise) shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Warrant may be exercised (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise (or partial exercise), in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Exercise that such Notice of Exercise 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 1(f), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a 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 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 Business Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined by the Holder after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrant, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” initially shall be 9.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. A Holder, upon notice to the Company, may decrease or thereafter increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provided in this Section 1(f) applicable to such Holder’s Warrant. Any such change in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) 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 the Warrant. |
|
|
||
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
|
|
(a) |
Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. |
|
|
(b) |
Other Events . If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 2(a) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features to the holders of the Company’s equity securities), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares and provide that the record date for stockholders entitled to participate in such event shall be the effective date for such adjustment so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2. |
3. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .
|
|
(a) |
Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 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 exercise of this Warrant (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, that, 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) |
|
|
(b) |
Fundamental Transactions . Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, any Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to any Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, any Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant within 90 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but, in any event, prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not enter into or be a party to a Fundamental Transaction unless provision is made with respect to the holder’s right under this Section 3(b) in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. 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 consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may waive its rights under this Section 3(b) with respect to any particular Fundamental Transaction. |
4. NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . The Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
6. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS .
|
|
(a) |
Registration of Warrant . The Company or its Transfer Agent shall register this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company or its Transfer Agent for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company or its Transfer Agent shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register. |
|
|
(b) |
Transfer of Warrant .

|
|
(c) |
Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form or the provision of reasonable security by the Holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant. |
|
|
(d) |
Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants . This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, together with all applicable transfer taxes, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided , however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given. |

7. NOTICES . Whenever notice is required to be given to either party under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with information provided by the Holder to the Company, or by the Company to the Holder, as applicable, in writing. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.
8. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER . The provisions of this Warrant may be amended or modified or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
9. JURISDICTION . Except as set forth in Section 11 below, this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware.
10. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS . This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.

9. Default . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “ Event of Default ” hereunder:
(a) Payments . Any failure by the Company to pay any amount payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof when due.
(b) Insolvency . The Company (i) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) applies for or seeks the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, or other similar official for it or of any substantial part of its property or any such official is appointed, other than upon the Company's request, and such unrequested appointment continues for ninety (90) days, or (iii) institutes proceedings seeking an order for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of it or any of its debts under other applicable federal or state law relating to creditor rights and remedies, or any such proceeding is filed against it, other than upon the Company's request, and such unrequested proceeding continues un-dismissed or un-stayed for ninety (90) days.
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, after the expiration of applicable grace and/or cure periods, if any, the Holder may (i) by written notice to the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, all interest accrued and unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all unpaid principal under this Note, all such accrued interest and all such other amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, provided that if an event described in paragraph (b) above shall occur, the result which would otherwise occur only upon giving of notice to the Company as specified above, this Note and all such other amounts payable pursuant hereto shall become due and payable automatically without the giving of any such notice; and (ii) whether or not the actions referred to in clause (i) have been taken, exercise any or all rights and remedies available to Holder under this Note and applicable law.

If the effect of any applicable law is to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or if any amount that is charged or received with respect to this Note results in the payment of any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then all excess amounts collected by the Holder shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Company), and the provisions of this Note shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectable reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, by the Company for the use, forbearance, or detention of money under this Note shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to such indebtedness for so long as such indebtedness is outstanding.
12. Security Interest . To secure the timely and full performance of the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Note, the Company hereby grants to the Holder and its successors and assigns (collectively, the “ Secured Parties ”) a security interest and/or general security interest in all of the right, title and interest of the Company in, to and under the following property, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time (collectively, the “ Collateral ”):

The security interest provided under this Section 12 shall terminate effective with the expiration of the Conversion Period as described in Section 7 hereof, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, after the expiration of applicable grace and/or cure periods, the Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and privileges in and to the Collateral as provided by applicable law, including, without limitation, the applicable sections of the Uniform Commercial Code as presently in effect and as amended from time to time in the State of New York, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral.
