Principal Amount: U.S. $[•] |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
I-MANY, INC. , a Delaware corporation (the “
Company ”), hereby promises to pay to [HIGHBRIDGE
INTERNATIONAL LLC] [PORTSIDE GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY FUND]
[STARBOARD VALUE AND OPPORTUNITY MASTER FUND LTD.] [PARCHE,
LLC] [OTHER BUYERS] or registered assigns (the “
Holder ”) the amount set out above as the Original
Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant
to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “
Principal ”) upon the Maturity Date (as defined
below), and to pay interest (“ Interest ”) on
any outstanding Principal at a rate per annum equal to the Interest
Rate (as defined below) 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), the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption or
otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This
Senior Convertible Note (including all Senior Convertible Notes
issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “
Note ”) is one of an issue of Senior Convertible Notes
issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing
Date (collectively, the “ Notes ” and such other
Senior Convertible Notes, the “ Other Notes ”).
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in
Section 28.
(1) MATURITY . On the
Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in
cash representing all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid
Interest, if any. The “ Maturity Date ” is
December 31, 2012.
(2) INTEREST; INTEREST
RATE . (a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing
on the outstanding Principal on the Issuance Date and shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months
and shall be payable in arrears on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year (each, an “ Interest
Date ”) with the first Interest Date being March 31,
2008. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the
record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date in
cash.
(b) Prior to the payment of
Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at
the Interest Rate and be payable in cash. From and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Interest Rate shall be increased to ten percent (10.0%). 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 Common
Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 3.
(a) Conversion Right .
Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e), 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, stamp 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 shares of Common Stock to any Person
other than the Holder.
(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 portion of the Principal to be
converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this
determination is being made.
(ii) “ Conversion
Price ” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined
below) or other date of determination, $3.8192, subject to
adjustment as provided herein.
- 2 -
(c) Mechanics of
Conversion .
(i) Optional
Conversion . To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of
Common Stock on any date (a “ Conversion Date
”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or
otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York
Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “
Conversion Notice ”) to the Company and (B) if
required by Section 3(c)(iii), surrender this Note to a common
carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or
following such date (or an indemnification undertaking and
appropriate bond with respect to this Note in the case of its loss,
theft or destruction). On or before the first (1 st ) Trading Day following the date of
receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by
facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to
the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “
Transfer Agent ”). On or before the second (2
nd
) Trading Day following
the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “ Share
Delivery Date ”), the Company shall
(1) (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating
in the Depository Trust Company’s (“ DTC
”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s
balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the
Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled and (2) pay to the Holder
in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount
equal to the Additional Interest Amount, if any on the Conversion
Amount subject to such conversion. If this Note is physically
surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii)
and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the
Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then
the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than
three (3) Trading Days after receipt of this Note and at its
own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in
accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding
Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders
of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion
Date.
(ii) Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert . If the Company is required to
effect a conversion pursuant to a Conversion Notice and the Company
shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the
Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date
which is three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date (a
“ Conversion Failure ”), then the Holder, upon
written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with
respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any
portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such
Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion
Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any
payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice
pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In the
alternative to the voiding of the Conversion Notice, if within
three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of
the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to
issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the
Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount and if
on
- 3 -
or after such Trading Day the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale to a third party
by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that
the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “
Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three
(3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the
Holder’s discretion, either (x) pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses,
if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “
Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s
obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock with respect to the
applicable Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (y) promptly
honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder the shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder is entitled to have received upon the
conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount and pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In
Price over the product of (I) such number of shares of Common
Stock, times (II) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion
Date.
(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 17.
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 Principal 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 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, and the Company is
required to effect conversions pursuant to such Conversion Notices,
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(e), 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 22.
- 4 -
(d) Mandatory
Conversion .
(i) General . If at
any time from and after December 31, 2009 (the “
Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date ”), (1) the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock exceeds 200% of the
Conversion Price on the Issuance Date (subject to appropriate
adjustments for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction after the Subscription
Date) for each of any twenty (20) Trading Days occurring
following the Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date in any thirty
(30) consecutive Trading Day period (such period, the “
Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period ”) and
(2) there is not then an 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, in each case as designated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice
(as defined below) into fully paid, validly issued and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with
Section 3(c) hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory
Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “ Mandatory
Conversion ”). The Company may exercise its right to
require conversion under this Section 3(d) by delivering 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 by facsimile is
referred to as the “ Mandatory Conversion Notice Date
”) within two (2) Business Days following the end of the
applicable Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period. The Mandatory
Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion
Notice shall (y) state (I) the Trading Day selected for
the Mandatory Conversion, which Trading Day shall be no sooner than
twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than sixty
(60) Trading Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice
Date (the “ Mandatory Conversion Date ”), (II)
the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes subject to Mandatory
Conversion from the Holder and all of the holders of the Notes
pursuant to this Section 3(d) (and analogous provisions under
the Other Notes), (III) the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date and
(IV) the amount of accrued and unpaid Interest to be paid to
the Holder in cash on the Mandatory Conversion Date and
(z) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions
Failure.
(ii) Pro Rata Conversion
Requirement . If the Company elects to cause a conversion of
any Conversion Amount of this Note pursuant to
Section 3(d)(i), 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(d)(i) (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 (1) the aggregate Conversion Amount of Notes
which the Company has elected to cause to be converted pursuant to
Section 3(d)(i), multiplied by (2) the fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the aggregate Original Principal
Amount of the Notes purchased by such holder (or the ultimate
holder of a Note transferred as set forth below with an allocation
among such Notes as set forth below) of outstanding Notes and the
denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate Original Principal
Amount of the Notes purchased by all (or the ultimate holder of a
Note transferred as set forth below with an allocation among such
Notes as set forth below)
- 5 -
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 the event that any holder’s Pro Rata
Conversion Amount exceeds the outstanding Principal amount of such
holder’s Note, then such excess Pro Rata Conversion Amount
shall be allocated amongst the remaining holders of Notes in
accordance with the foregoing formula. In the event that the
initial holder or any subsequent holder of any Notes shall sell or
otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, the transferee
shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferring
holder’s Conversion Allocation Percentage and the Pro Rata
Conversion Amount. For purposes of illustration of the foregoing,
the Conversion Allocation Percentage and Pro Rata Conversion Amount
of any Note shall be calculated by reference to its Original
Principal Amount and, in transferring any portion of the Note, or
any subsequent Note evidencing some or all of the Principal payable
on this Note, the allocated Original Principal Amount shall be
indicated thereon, and shall not be reduced by any payment or
conversion thereof.
(e) Limitations on
Conversions .
(i) Beneficial
Ownership . Other than in connection with a Mandatory
Conversion, [INSERT ONLY IN RAMIUS NOTES: at such time as
the Holder (including any of the Holder’s affiliates) does
not have a representative on the Company’s board of directors
and the beneficial ownership of the Holder (together with its
affiliates), without giving effect to Conversion Shares issuable
hereunder, is not in excess of 9.99%, ] 1 the Company shall not effect any
conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have
the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to
Section 3(a), to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of [ 4.99% ]
2
[ 9.99% ]
3
(the “ Maximum
Percentage ”) of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of
such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of
the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other
Notes) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder
or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Act ”). For purposes of this
Section 3(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the
Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or other
public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more

public announcement by the
Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral
request of the Holder, the Company shall within one
(1) Business Day 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 provisions of
this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 3(e)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion
hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes
or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to
such limitation. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may
increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage
not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that
(x) any such increase or decrease will not be effective until
the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and
(y) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the
Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.
(ii) Market Regulation
. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of this Note 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 of the
Notes without breaching the Company’s obligations under the
rules or regulations of the Principal Market whether or not the
Common Stock is listed on 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 such
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 satisfactory to the Majority 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 of
Notes, 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 a 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 and such allocation and
restriction shall apply to all successive transferees, ratably in
accordance with their respective interest in the Original Principal
Amount evidenced by their Notes. 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.
- 7 -
(f) Conversion Upon
Fundamental Change . The conversion by the Holder following its
receipt of a Change of Control Notice during the Change of Control
Conversion/Redemption Period shall be a “ Change of
Control Conversion ”. In connection with a Change of
Control Conversion, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the
Make-Whole Premium with respect to any Conversion Amount converted
in accordance with Section 3(c).
(4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF
DEFAULT .
(a) Event of Default .
Each of the following events shall constitute an “ Event
of Default ”:
(i) the suspension from
trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an Eligible
Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days or
for more than an aggregate of ten (10) Trading Days in any
365-day period;
(ii) the Company’s
(A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the
required number of shares of Common Stock or Make-Whole Premium
within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Conversion
Date or Change of Control Settlement Date (as defined in
Section 9(a)), as the case may be, or (B) notice, written
or oral, to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public
announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its
intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Notes
into shares of Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes, other than pursuant to
Section 3(e);
(iii) at any time following
an Authorized Share Failure Deadline if there has been an
Authorized Share Failure;
(iv) the Company’s
failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest or
other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without
limitation, the Company’s failure to pay any redemption
amounts hereunder) 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
when and as due, in which case only if such failure continues for a
period of at least seven (7) Business Days;
(v) any redemption of or
acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness exceeding
$1,000,000 individually or in the aggregate of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries other than with respect to any Other
Notes;
(vi) the Company or any of
its Significant 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;
- 8 -
(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
Significant Subsidiaries as debtor in an involuntary case,
(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of the
Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(viii) a final judgment or
judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of
$2,000,000 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 $2,000,000 amount set forth above so long as the
Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer
or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment is
covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive
the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty
(30) days of the issuance of such judgment;
(ix) other than as
specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 4(a),
the Company breaches, in any material respect, any material
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in any Transaction
Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or
agreement in any Transaction Document which is curable, only if
such breach continues for a period of at least thirty
(30) consecutive days;
(x) any breach or failure in
any respect to comply with either of Sections 8 or 13 of this Note;
or
(xi) any Event of Default (as
defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes,
unless such Event of Default is waived or cured.
(b) Acceleration and
Redemption . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with
respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within
one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier (an “ Event of Default
Notice ”) to the Holder and the Other Holders. If an
Event of Default other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 4(a)(vi) or (vii) occurs, the Required Holders,
at any time after the earlier of the Holder’s or any Other
Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder
or any Other Holder’s becoming aware of an Event of Default,
by one or more written notices to the Company, may declare the
entire Conversion Amount of all of the Notes plus accrued and
unpaid Interest thereon due and payable immediately and upon any
such declaration such Conversion Amount of all the Notes plus
accrued and unpaid Interest thereon shall become immediately due
and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event
of Default specified in Section 4(a)(vi) or (vii), the
Conversion Amount of all of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid
Interest thereon will ipso facto become due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Holder or any of the
Other Holders. Upon an acceleration in accordance with the
preceding sentence or upon an Event of Default specified
- 9 -
in Section 4(a)(vi) or
(vii) occurs, 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 Conversion Amount of this Note the Holder is electing
to require the Company 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 (the “ Event
of Default Redemption Price ”) equal to the sum of
(i) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (ii) any
accrued and unpaid Interest thereon. Redemptions required by this
Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 9. 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.
(c) Waiver of Past
Defaults . The Majority Holders may on behalf of the Holders of
all the Notes waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its
consequences, except an Event of Default (i) specified in
Section 4(a)(vi) or (vii); or (ii) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected. Upon any
such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured, for every purpose of the Notes; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
(d) Recission and
Annulment . At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Holder or any of
the Other Holders, the Majority Holders, by written notice to the
Company, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if such rescission and annulment will not conflict
with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
and (i) the Company has paid to the Holder and each Other
Holder a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue Interest on the
Notes, and (B) the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
Interest, if any, any Redemption Price on any Notes which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of
Principal plus accrued and unpaid interest on Securities which have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 4(c) above . No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
(5) RIGHTS UPON
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL .
(a) Assumption . The
Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental
Transaction unless the Successor Entity expressly assumes in
writing, executed and delivered to the Holder concurrently with the
consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) prior
to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to
each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the
Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without
limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to
the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Notes then
outstanding held by such holder, having similar conversion rights,
with the Conversion Rate adjusted to reflect the consideration
received by the Company’s stockholders in such Fundamental
Transaction, and having similar ranking to the Notes. In
furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, prior to the
consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to
- 10 -
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, the shares of Common Stock
receivable upon such conversion or such securities or other assets
to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such
shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by
the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without
taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of this Note). Upon the occurrence of any
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 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
with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as
the Company herein. If the Successor Entity (including its Parent
Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is
quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (a “
Public Successor Entity ”) and the consideration paid
to holders of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction consists
of stock in such Public Successor Entity (a “ Public
Fundamental Transaction ”), then upon consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the
Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or
redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the
Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such
shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of
the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), 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.
(b) 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 ”) which shall state:
(i) the events causing a
Change of Control and the anticipated Effective Date;
(ii) the last date of the
Change of Control Conversion/Redemption Period (as defined below)
by which the Holder must deliver a Change of Control Redemption
Notice to elect the redemption option pursuant to this
Section 5(b) or deliver a Conversion Notice requesting
conversion upon a Change of Control in accordance with
Section 3(c);
(iii) the Change of Control
Settlement Date;
(iv) the Change of Control
Redemption Price;
(v) the Conversion Price
applicable on the date of the Change of Control Notice;
(vi) that Notes may be
converted in connection with the Change of Control;
- 11 -
(vii) that the Change of
Control Redemption Price for any Convertible Note as to which a
Change of Control Redemption Notice has been duly given will be
paid promptly on the Change of Control Settlement Date;
and
(viii) if the Holder is
entitled to receive a Make-Whole Premium upon any conversion
occurring within the Change of Control Conversion/Redemption
Period.
At any time during the period beginning
after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and
ending twenty (20) Business Days after the Effective Date
(such period, the “ Change of Control
Conversion/Redemption Period ”), the Holder may require
the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering
written notice thereof (“ Change of Control Redemption
Notice ”) to the Company, which Change of Control
Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder
is electing to require the Company to redeem. The portion of this
Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall
be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “
Change of Control Redemption Price ”) equal to the sum
of (i) the Conversion Amount and (ii) any accrued and
unpaid Interest thereon. Redemptions required by this
Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders
in connection with a Change of Control. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 5, but subject to Section 3(e), 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(c) (together with any Interest thereon) may be
converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3 (and any such conversions shall be
deemed to be a withdrawal of the Change of Control Redemption
Notice to the extent of such conversion) and shall be entitled to
receive the Make-Whole Premium upon any such conversion.
(c) Make-Whole Premium
. (i) If a Change of Control occurs, the Company shall pay the
Make-Whole Premium to the holders of the Notes who effect a Change
of Control Conversion at any time during the Change of Control
Conversion/Redemption Period.
(A) The Make-Whole Premium
shall be equal to an additional number of shares of Common Stock
calculated in accordance with this Section 5(c). The
Make-Whole Premium will be in addition to, and not in substitution
for, any cash, securities or other assets otherwise due to the
Holder upon conversion as described in this Note.
(B) The “ Make-Whole
Premium ” shall be equal to the Conversion Amount of the
Notes to be converted divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the
applicable number of shares of Common Stock determined by reference
to the table below (the “ Make-Whole Premium Table
”) and is based on the Effective Date and the Stock
Price.
