CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$275,000

 

 

October 18, 2006

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , ZYNEX MEDICAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC   (“Holder”) at 18881 Von Karman, 16 th Floor, Irvine, CA 92612, the principal sum of Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000), together with all accrued interest thereon and fees, upon the terms and conditions specified below.

 

1.   Use of Loan Proceeds . The proceeds of this Note shall be used for general working capital for the Maker.

 

2.   Due Date . Unless earlier accelerated or converted pursuant to the terms hereof, this Note shall mature and the outstanding principal balance of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall become due and payable in one lump sum on April 18, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, if Maker delivers written notice to Holder at any time not less than 15 days prior to the Maturity Date stating that Maker has elected to extend the term of this Note, this Note shall instead mature and the outstanding principal balance of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall become due and payable in six equal monthly installments beginning on the Maturity Date and ending on October 18, 2007 (the “Extended Maturity Date”).

3.     Original Issue Discount . This Note shall have an original issue discount equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note, and Maker acknowledges that the proceeds of this Note shall be net of this five percent (5%) original issue discount. The amount by which the issue price of this Note is less than the amount to be paid at the Maturity Date (excluding amounts stated to be interest), constitutes “original issue discount,” the accrual of which is treated as interest on the Note for purposes of federal and state taxation.

 

4.   Interest . Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance outstanding from time to time under this Note at the rate of (a) fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date hereof to and including January 17, 2007 and (b) eighteen percent (18%) per annum from January 18, 2007 to and including the Maturity Date (with (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “Initial Term”); provided, however, (i) if the term of this Note is extended by Maker pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then from and after the original Maturity Date to and including the Extended Maturity Date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance outstanding from time to time under this Note at the rate of twenty-one percent (21%) per annum, and (ii) any principal amount not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (both before as well as after judgment), shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate that is five percent (5%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise then payable under this Note. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day and excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. In no event shall the interest rate payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law. If the rate of interest payable under this Note is ever reduced as a result of the preceding sentence and at any time thereafter the maximum rate permitted by applicable law shall exceed such reduced rate of interest then provided for hereunder, then the rate provided for hereunder shall be increased to a rate not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law at such time, such that the total amount of interest received by the Holder is equal to or as nearly equal to the amount provided for in the first sentence of this paragraph as applicable law permits. All Interest payable under this Note during the Initial Term shall be prepaid on the date hereof from the proceeds of this Note irrespective of any prepayment of amounts under this Note. In the case of any Extended Maturity Date, all interest shall be according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2 hereof.

 

5.   Conversion .

 

(a)   At any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be, Holder may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon into the common stock of Maker at an initial conversion price of $0.32 per share of common stock (the “Conversion Price”).

 

(b)   No fractional shares of Maker’s capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, Maker will pay to Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 5, Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at

At its expense, Maker will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to Holder, at such address as requested by Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to Holder for any cash amounts payable as a result of any fractional shares as described herein.
