FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Immunicon
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), hereby
promises to pay to [
] or registered assigns (" Holder ") the amount set out
above as the Original Principal Amount (as increased pursuant to
the addition of any Capitalized Interest hereunder and as reduced
pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to conversion or otherwise,
the " Principal ") when due, whether upon the Maturity Date
(as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each
case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest ("
Interest ") on any outstanding Principal at the rate of six
percent (6.00%) per annum (the " Interest Rate "), from
the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the " Issuance
Date ") until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an
Interest Date (as defined below) or the Maturity Date,
acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in
accordance with the terms hereof). This Subordinated Convertible
Note (including all Subordinated Convertible Notes issued in
exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this " Note ") is
one of an issue of Subordinated Convertible Notes issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below) on the
Closing Date (collectively, the " Notes " and such other
Subordinated Convertible Notes, the " Other Notes ").
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in
Section 26.
(1) PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL . On the Maturity Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all
outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and
unpaid Late Charges, if any, on such Principal and Interest. The "
Maturity Date " shall be December [__], 2009, as may be
extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the event that,
and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in
Section 4(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the
Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1)
or any event that shall have occurred and be continuing that with
the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an
Event of Default, (ii) through the date that is ten
(10) Business Days after the consummation of a Change of
Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced
or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is
delivered prior to the Maturity Date and (iii) through
December [__], 2011 in the event that the Company cannot effect a
Mandatory Conversion of any Unconverted Amount (as defined below)
due to any limitations on conversion due to the limitation on
conversions set forth in Section 3(d)(i). Other than as
specifically permitted by the Note, the Company may not prepay any
portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest
or accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, on Principal and
Interest.
(2) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE . Interest on the outstanding
Principal (including Capitalized Interest (as defined below))
amount of this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date
and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual
days
elapsed and shall be payable quarterly, in
arrears, on January [__], April [__], July [__] and October [__] of
each year (each, an " Interest Date "), with the first
Interest Date being January [__] 2007, by adding such Interest to
the Principal amount of this Note as of such Interest Date (the "
Capitalized Interest "). Prior to becoming Capitalized
Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at
the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of such
Interest in the Conversion Amount in accordance with
Section 3(b)(i). From and after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be
increased to twelve percent (12.0%). In the event that such Event
of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the
preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of
such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at
such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default
shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after
the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the
date of cure of such Event of Default.
(3) CONVERSION OF NOTES . This Note shall be convertible
into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001
per share (the " Common Stock "), on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 3.
-
(a) Conversion Right . Subject to the provisions of
Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance
Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the
outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance
with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).
The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock
upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance
of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round
such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole
share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer taxes and similar
taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery
of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount;
provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of Common Stock
to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to
any income or similar tax due by the Holder with respect to the
Note or such Common Stock.
(b) Conversion Rate . The number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to
Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such
Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the "
Conversion Rate ").
-
-
(i) " Conversion Amount " means the sum of (A) the
portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise
with respect to which this determination is being made,
(B) accrued and unpaid Interest (other than Capitalized
Interest included in Principal) with respect to such Principal and
(C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such
Principal and Interest and (D) in the case of a conversion
pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), a Holder Change of Control
Redemption pursuant to Section 5(b) or Company Change of
Control Redemption pursuant to Section 5(c), the applicable
Present Value of Interest.
(ii) " Conversion Price " means, as of any Conversion
Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, $4.09,
subject to adjustment as provided herein.

-
(iii) Registration; Book-Entry . The
Company shall maintain a register (the " Register ") for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note
and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the "
Registered Notes "). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all
purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive
payments of principal and interest hereunder, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold
in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale
on the Register. Upon its receipt of a request to assign or sell
all or part of any Registered Note by a Holder, the Company shall
record the information contained therein in the Register and issue
one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal
amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note
to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to
Section 16. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the
full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted
or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written
notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice)
requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this
Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
Principal, Interest and Late Charges, if any, converted and the
dates of such conversions or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to
require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes . In the event that
the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder
of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert
some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for
conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall
convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted
on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of
its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of
Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative
to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for
conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with
a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve
such dispute in accordance with Section 21.
(v) Company’s Right of Mandatory Conversion .
(A) Mandatory Conversion . If at any time from and after
the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issuance Date (the
" Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date "), (i) the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds, for each
of any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days following the
Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date (the " Mandatory
Conversion Measuring Period "), $7.50 (as adjusted for any
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations,
reverse stock splits or other similar events, including any
occurring during such Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period) and
(ii) there shall not have been any Equity Conditions Failure,
the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert
all, or any portion, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under
this Note into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c)
4
-
-
-
hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory
Conversion Date (as defined below) with respect to the Conversion
Amount (a " Mandatory Conversion "). The Company may
exercise its right to require conversion under this
Section 3(c)(v)(A) by delivering within not more than three
(3) Trading Days following the end of any such Mandatory
Conversion Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile
and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders
of Notes and the Transfer Agent (the " Mandatory Conversion
Notice " and the date all of the holders received such notice
is referred to as the " Mandatory Conversion Notice Date ").
The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory
Conversion Notice shall state (1) the Trading Day selected for
the Mandatory Conversion in accordance herewith, which Trading Day
shall be at least twenty (20) Trading Days but not more than
sixty (60) Trading Days following the Mandatory Conversion
Notice Date (the " Mandatory Conversion Date "),
(2) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes subject to
mandatory conversion from all of the holders of the Notes pursuant
hereto (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) and
(3) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date. All Conversion Amounts
converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date
shall reduce the Conversion Amount of this Note required to be
converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The mechanics of
conversion set forth in Section 3(c) shall apply to any
Mandatory Conversion as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had
received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a
Conversion Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount being
converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company cannot effect a Mandatory Conversion, in
whole or in part, of the Conversion Amount of this Note (such
portion, the " Unconverted Amount ") as contemplated in any
Mandatory Conversion Notice due to the limitation on conversions
set forth in Section 3(d)(i), then, as of the applicable
Mandatory Conversion Date, (w) Interest on such Unconverted
Amount shall cease to accrue, (x) the Holder shall have no
right to require an Event of Default Redemption with respect to
such Unconverted Amount for Events of Default described in Sections
4(a)(iv), (v), (viii), (x) and (xi) and, with respect to
Section 4(a)(ix), for any covenant breaches that do not affect
the issuance of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares,
(y) the Holder shall not be entitled to receive the 20%
premium in any Change of Control Redemption Price paid by the
Company with respect to such Unconverted Amount as set forth in
Section 5(b) hereof and (z) such Unconverted Amount shall
be converted in accordance with Section 3(c)(iv) on the date
such conversion is permitted under Section 3(d)(i).
(B) Pro Rata Conversion Requirement . If the Company
elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of this Note
pursuant to Section 3(c)(v)(A), then it must simultaneously
take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the
Other Notes. If the Company elects a Mandatory Conversion of this
Note pursuant to Section 3(c)(v)(A) (or similar provisions
under the Other Notes) with respect to less than all of the
Conversion Amounts of the Notes then outstanding, then the Company
shall require conversion of a Conversion Amount from each of the
holders of the Notes equal to the product of (I) the aggregate
Conversion Amount of Notes which the Company has elected to cause
to be converted pursuant to Section 3(c)(v)(A), multiplied by
(II) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes purchased by such
holder of outstanding Notes and the denominator of which is the sum
of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes purchased
by all holders holding outstanding Notes (such fraction with
respect to each holder is referred to as its " Conversion
Allocation Percentage ," and such amount with respect to each
holder is referred to as its " Pro Rata Conversion Amount
"); provided, however, that in
5

-
Stock, if the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise, as
applicable, of the Notes and Warrants without breaching the
Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the
Principal Market (the " Exchange Cap "), except that such
limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company
(A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by
the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of
Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written
opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is
not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is
obtained, no purchaser of the Notes pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement (the " Purchasers ") shall be issued in
the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of Notes
or Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the
product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the principal amount of Notes issued to such Purchaser
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date
and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of
all Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each
Purchaser, the " Exchange Cap Allocation "). In the event
that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such
Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro
rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and
the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such
transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap
Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any
holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into
a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less
than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the
difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and
the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder
shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of
the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such
holder.
(4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT .

-
-
(iv) the Company’s failure to pay to the
Holder any cash amount of Principal (including, without limitation,
any redemption payments), Interest, Late Charges due in cash or
other amounts due in cash when and as due under this Note or any
other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other
instrument delivered in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby to which the Holder is a party,
except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and Late Charges
when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a
period of at least five (5) Business Days;
(v) the Company shall either (i) fail to pay, when due, or
within any applicable grace period, any payment with respect to any
Indebtedness in excess of $250,000, individually or in the
aggregate, due to any third party, other than, with respect to
unsecured Indebtedness only, payments contested by the Company in
good faith by proper proceedings and with respect to which adequate
reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance
with GAAP, or otherwise be in breach or violation of any agreement
for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $250,000,
individually or in the aggregate, which breach or violation permits
the other party thereto to declare a default or otherwise
accelerate amounts due thereunder, or (ii) suffer to exist any
other circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage
of time or the giving of notice, result in a default or event of
default under any agreement binding the Company, which default or
event of default would or is likely to have a material adverse
effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects of
financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
individually or in the aggregate;
(vi) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to or
within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal,
foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (collectively, "
Bankruptcy Law "), (A) commences a voluntary case,
(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official (a "
Custodian "), (D) makes a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is
generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;
(vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary case,
(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries;
(viii) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money
aggregating in excess of $500,000 are rendered against the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within
sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or
stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty
(60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided,
however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an
indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in
calculating the $500,000 amount set forth above;
8
-
-
-
(ix) the Company breaches any covenant or other
term or condition or any material representation or warranty of any
Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant
which is curable, only if such breach continues for a period of at
least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;
(x) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with
Section 12 of this Note; or
(xi) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs
with respect to any Other Notes.
(b) Redemption Right . Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company
shall within (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof
via facsimile or e-mail and overnight courier (an " Event of
Default Notice ") to the Holder. At any time after the earlier
of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the
Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by
delivering written notice thereof (the " Event of Default
Redemption Notice ") to the Company, which Event of Default
Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the
Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to
redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall
be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of
(i) the product of (x) the Conversion Amount to be
redeemed and (y) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the
product of (A) the Conversion Rate with respect to such
Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an
Event of Default Redemption Notice and (B) the greater of
(1) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date
immediately preceding such Event of Default, (2) the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date immediately after such
Event of Default and (3) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the date the Holder delivers the Event of Default
Redemption Notice (the " Event of Default Redemption Price
"). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10. To the extent
redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments
of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be
voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event
of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under
this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be
uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’
inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of
the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity
for the Holder. Accordingly, any Redemption Premium due under this
Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be
deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of
its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(5) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF
CONTROL .
-
(a) Reaffirmation . If the Company enters into or is a
party to a Fundamental Transaction in which it is the Successor
Entity, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (i) an
affirmation that this Note shall be a continuing obligation of the
Company, or the Company as the Successor Entity, and a
reaffirmation of the Company’s, or the Company’s as the
Successor Entity, obligations under the Transaction Documents
following such Fundamental
9
-
Transaction and (ii) a confirmation that
there shall be issued upon conversion of this Note at any time
after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
(A) Common Stock or such other shares of publicly traded
common stock (or their equivalent) of the Company, or the Company
as the Successor Entity or (ii) if the Company is not a
publicly traded entity following such Fundamental Transaction, in
lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other
securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the
conversion of the Notes 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 this Note been
converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, in
each case as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this
Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and
equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied
without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption
of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder
acknowledges that in connection with any Fundamental Transaction in
which the Company is not the Successor Entity, the Holder shall
only have the rights set forth in Sections 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d)
hereof.
(b) Holder Redemption Right . No sooner than fifteen
(15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the
consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public
announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the
Holder (a " Change of Control Notice "). At any time during
the period beginning on the date of the Holder’s receipt of a
Change of Control Notice and ending twenty (20) Trading Days
after the consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder may
require the Company to redeem (a " Holder Change of Control
Redemption ") all or any portion of this Note by delivering
written notice thereof (" Holder Change of Control Redemption
Notice ") to the Company, which Holder Change of Control
Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder
is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to
redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the
Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) the
product of (x) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and
(y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the greater
of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to
the consummation of the Change of Control, the Closing Sale Price
immediately following the public announcement of such proposed
Change of Control and the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed
Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and
(ii) 120% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed; provided,
however, that in the event that any Unconverted Amount is being
redeemed pursuant to this Section 5, with respect to any such
Unconverted Amount, clause (ii) of the foregoing shall be
calculated as 100% of such amount (the " Change of Control
Redemption Price "). Redemptions required by this
Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10. To the extent redemptions required by this
Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such
redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The
parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s
redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5(b),
the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to
estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a
suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this
Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be
deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of
its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
10
-
(c) Company Change of Control Redemption .
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 or
the provisions of Section 6(b), in the event of a Change of
Control where the Company is not the Successor Entity, then the
Company shall redeem this Note (a " Company Change of Control
Redemption "), in whole and not in part, at a price equal to
the Change of Control Redemption Price. No sooner than fifteen
(15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the
consummation of any Change of Control described in the foregoing
sentence, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change
of Control, the Company shall provide notice (the " Company
Change of Control Redemption Notice ") of a Company Change of
Control Redemption in writing to the Holder. The Company Change of
Control Redemption Notice shall state (i) that, following the
consummation of the Change of Control, the Company shall redeem all
of the outstanding Notes on the Company Change of Control
Redemption Date, (ii) that the Company shall consummate the
Company Change of Control Redemption on the twentieth (20
th ) day
following the consummation of such Change of Control (the "
Company Change of Control Redemption Date "), (iii) the
aggregate outstanding Conversion Amount of the Notes subject to
redemption from all the holders of the Notes pursuant to this
Section 5(c) and analogous provisions of the Other Notes and
(iv) the Company Change of Control Redemption Price that is to
be paid to such Holder on the Company Change of Control Redemption
Date.
(d) Change of Control Redemptions . Redemptions required
by this Section 5 shall have priority to payments to
shareholders in connection with a Change of Control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5,
but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in
full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this
Section 5 may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder
into, (i) in the event of any conversion occurring prior to
the consummation of such Change of Control, shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3 or (ii) in the event of any
conversion occurring following consummation of such Change of
Control, (A) shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3
if the Company’s Common Stock is still outstanding after such
Change of Control or (B) 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 Change of
Control had such Conversion Amount been converted into Common Stock
immediately prior to such Change of Control.
(6) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER
CORPORATE EVENTS .
-
(a) Purchase Rights . If at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to
purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class 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 taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note)
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 Common
Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights.
11
-
(b) Other Corporate Events . Except as
otherwise contemplated in Sections 5(b) and (c) hereof, which
shall apply in lieu of this Section 6(b) under the
circumstances set forth in such Sections, 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 a conversion of this
Note, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable
upon such conversion, such shares of stock, securities, cash,
assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or
other purchase or subscriptions rights) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Corporate Event
had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Corporate
Event (without taking into account any restrictions or limitations
on the convertibility of this Note). The provisions of this Section
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events
and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the
conversion or redemption of this Note.
(7) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES .
-
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common
Stock . If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date
through the first (1 st
) anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Company
issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
(including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in
connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per
share (the " New Issuance Price ") less than a price (the "
Applicable Price ") equal to the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a "
Dilutive Issuance "), then immediately after such Dilutive
