FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Nanogen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to [PORTSIDE GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY FUND] [CAPITAL VENTURES INTERNATIONAL] [ENABLE OPPORTUNITY PARTNERS LP] [PIERCE DIVERSIFIED STRATEGY MASTER FUND LLC, ENA] [ENABLE GROWTH PARTNERS LP] [HIGHBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL LLC] [CASTLERIGG MASTER INVESTMENTS LTD.] or registered assigns (“ 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 ”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), on any Company Redemption Date with respect to the Company Redemption Amount due on such Company Redemption Date (each, as defined herein), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“ Interest ”), on any outstanding Principal at the applicable 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), any Company Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption, amortization or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “ Note ”) completely amends, supplements, modifies and completely restates and supersedes the Senior Secured Convertible Note, dated as of March 27, 2008 (the “ Existing Note ”), issued by the Company to the Holder, but shall not, except as specifically amended hereby or as set forth in the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreements (as defined below), constitute a release, satisfaction or novation of any of the obligations under the Existing Note or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreements (as defined below)). This Note is one of a series of amended and restated senior secured convertible notes issued on the date set out above as the Amended Issuance Date (the “ Amended Issuance Date ”) pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement dated as of August 14, 2008 (the “ Amendment Date ”) by and between each of the Investors (as defined in therein) and the Company (individually, with respect to any Investor, the “ Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement ” and collectively, with respect to all Investors, the “ Second Amendment and Exchange Agreements ”) (collectively, the “ Notes ” and such other Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the “ Other Notes ”; provided, for the avoidance of doubt that the “Notes” do not include the Indenture Notes, the Additional Notes and the Bridge Notes). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 29.


(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 Payment ”). The “ Maturity Date ” shall be August 27, 2010, 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 and (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, but subject to the rights of the Company in Section 5(c). On each Company Redemption Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Company Redemption Price due on such Company Redemption Date in accordance with Section 8. Other than as specifically permitted by this 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 .

(a) Interest on the outstanding Principal amount of this Note shall commence accruing on the Amended Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (each such date and the Maturity Date, an “ Interest Date ”) with the first Interest Date being September 30, 2008. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the Record Date immediately preceding applicable Interest Date, in shares of Common Stock (“ Interest Shares ”), so long as (i) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure (unless the Holder has waived such Equity Conditions Failure) and (ii) unless or until the Required Stockholder Approval (as defined below) has been obtained, the calculation of the applicable Interest Conversion Price does not result in a price that is less than the amount resulting from the Conversion Floor Price (as defined below); provided , however , that the Company may, at its option as indicated on the Interest Election Notice (as defined below), pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash (“ Cash Interest ”) or in a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares. The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, an “ Interest Election Notice ”) to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the tenth (10 th ) Trading Day prior to the Interest Date (the date such notice is delivered to all of the holders, the “ Interest Notice Date ”) which notice (i) either (A) confirms that Interest to be paid on such Interest Date shall be paid entirely in Interest Shares or (B) elects to pay Interest as Cash Interest or a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest and the amount of Interest, if any, that shall be paid in Interest Shares and (ii) in the case of payment in Interest Shares certifies that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure. If any portion of Interest for a particular Interest Date shall be paid in Interest Shares, then (1) contemporaneously with the delivery of the Interest Election Notice on the applicable Interest Notice Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in accordance with Section 2(b), a number of

 

2


shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the amount of Interest payable on the applicable Interest Date in Interest Shares divided by (y) the applicable Initial Interest Conversion Price (the “ Pre-Interest Shares ”) and (2) on the applicable Interest Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, in accordance with Section 2(b), any Interest Balance Shares. Interest to be paid on an Interest Notice Date or on an Interest Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share). If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied as of the Interest Notice Date, then unless the Company has elected to pay such Interest in cash, the Interest Notice shall indicate that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the Interest shall be paid in cash. If the Equity Conditions were satisfied as of the Interest Notice Date but the Equity Conditions are no longer satisfied at any time prior to the Interest Date, the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect indicating that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the Interest shall be paid in cash.

(b) When any Interest Shares are to be issued on an Interest Notice Date or an Interest Date, as applicable, then the Company shall (i) (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program of the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) and such action is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation or any applicable policy of DTC, credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares 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 foregoing shall not apply, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date to the address set forth in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Date, an unlegended certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Interest Date, pay to the Holder, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Cash Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to pay Interest in Interest Shares and shall be required to pay all such Interest in cash as Cash Interest if, unless consented to in writing by the Holder, there has been an Equity Conditions Failure. If an Event of Default or Equity Conditions Failure occurs during the Interest Measuring Period, then on the Interest Date, at the Holder’s option, either (A) the Holder may require the Company to pay the Interest due on the applicable Interest Date as Cash Interest (including any Interest represented by Pre-Interest Shares) and, in conjunction with receipt of such cash payment, shall return the applicable number of Pre-Interest Shares or (B) the Company shall pay an additional amount to the Holder as Cash Interest equal to the Interest Balance Amount.

(c) Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the 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%) (the “ Default Interest Rate ”). 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 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.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note but subject to Section 4(c), in addition to Interest to be paid on the first Interest Date, on the first Interest Date, the Company shall pay in cash all accrued interest and other amounts due and owing under the Replaced Notes up to the Issuance Date to the Holder which amount is equal to $                      .

(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 with respect to such Principal, (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal and Interest and (D) the applicable Present Value of Interest, in connection with (I) the Holder’s exercise of its optional conversion right pursuant to Section 3(c), (II) a Holder Change of Control Redemption pursuant to Section 5(b), or (III) a Company Change of Control Redemption pursuant to Section 5(c), as applicable.

(ii) “ Conversion Price ” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, $0.397, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(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 5:00 p.m., New York City 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 the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking 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 (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ 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. 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) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(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. In the event of a partial conversion of this Note pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted at the Holder’s option shall be deducted from any of the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the Company Redemption Dates or from the Maturity Date Payment or from any other amount owing from the Company pursuant hereto as set forth by the Holder in the Conversion Notice.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert . 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 such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “ Conversion Failure ”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale 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) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) 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

 

5


of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price” ), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver issue and deliver such certificate or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) 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 18. 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 23.

(d) Limitations on Conversions .

(i) Beneficial Ownership . The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any

 

6


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% (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, Indenture Notes, Additional Notes, Bridge Notes or Warrants) 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 (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) 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 request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. 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 (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation . The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note any shares of Common 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 of the Notes 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 Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “ Purchasers ”) shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of the 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 the Notes issued to such

 

7


Purchaser pursuant to the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement on the Closing Date (as defined in the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement) and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Second Amendment and Exchange 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.

(e) Automatic Conversion . If at any time from and after the Amendment Date (the “ Automatic Conversion Eligibility Date ”), (i) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for any ten (10) Trading Days in any fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Day period following the Automatic Conversion Eligibility Date (the “ Automatic Conversion Measuring Period ”) equals or exceeds 150% of the then-effective Conversion Price (the date such condition has been met, the “ Automatic Conversion Triggering Date ”) and (ii) there is not then an Equity Conditions Failure, then all of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note shall be converted 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 Automatic Conversion Notice Date (as defined below) with respect to the Conversion Amount (the “ Automatic Conversion ”). The Company shall deliver, within not more than one (1) Trading Day following the Automatic Conversion Triggering Date, 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 “ Automatic Conversion Notice ” and the date all of the holders received such notice is referred to as the “ Automatic Conversion Notice Date ”). The Automatic Conversion Notice shall state (1) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes that shall be subject to the Automatic Conversion pursuant hereto (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes), (2) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder on the applicable Automatic Conversion Date, and (3) the determination of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the Automatic Conversion Measuring Period. The mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 3(c) shall apply to the Automatic Conversion as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had received from the Holder on the Automatic Conversion Notice Date with respect to the Conversion Amount remaining under this Note.

(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 (other than closing of the Principal Market generally) or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an Eligible Market for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of twenty (20) Trading Days in any 365-day period;

 

8


(ii) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date 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;

(iii) at any time following the tenth (10 th ) consecutive Business Day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d) or otherwise);

(iv) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any cash amount of Principal (including, without limitation, any redemption payments), Interest due in cash, Late Charges or any other amounts due in cash when and as due under this Note or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), 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 five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure;

(v) the Company shall either (i) fail to pay, when due, or within any applicable grace period, any payment in respect of 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 respect of any Indebtedness 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 generally (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 for substantially all of its assets (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;

(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;

(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 or other term or condition which is curable, and provided that the Company delivers prompt notice of such breach to the Holder, only if such breach continues for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days;

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, if such Event of Default is continuing, 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.

In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, at the Holder’s option, the principal amount being redeemed shall be deducted from any of the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the applicable Company Redemption Dates from the Maturity Date Payment or from any other amount owing from the Company pursuant hereto as set forth by the Holder in the Event of Default Redemption Notice. 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.

(c) Deferral of Certain Payments . Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, Holder agrees to defer payment of the Milestone Event Payments and the deferral of such payments shall not constitute an Event of Default, provided, however, that such deferral is expressly conditioned on and such deferral will only be effective so long as the Merger Conditions are satisfied (or waived by holders of Notes representing at least 66.67% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding) and, provided further, that if any amounts are deferred pursuant to this Section 4(c), then Interest shall accrue at the Default Interest Rate and Late Charges shall accrue on all amounts so deferred. All amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of (i) any time that any of the Merger Conditions is not satisfied (unless otherwise waived by holders of Notes representing at least 66.67% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding), (ii) any Change of Control Redemption Date, (iii) any Event of Default Redemption Date and (iv) the Maturity Date.

(5) RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL .

(a) Reaffirmation . If the Company enters into or is a party to a Fundamental Transaction the surviving entity of such Fundamental Transaction (the “Successor Entity” ), shall deliver to each of the holders of the Notes, (i) an affirmation that this Note shall be a continuing obligation of the Successor Entity, and a reaffirmation of the Successor Entity’s obligations under the Transaction Documents following such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) a confirmation that there shall be issuable upon conversion of the Notes 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 Successor Entity or (B) if the Successor Entity 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

 

11


the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Notes been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, in each case as adjusted in accordance with the provisions 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. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Notes.

(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 (with confirmation of transmission) and overnight courier to the Holder (a “ Change of Control Notice ”) which Change of Control Notice shall state whether the Company is exercising its redemption right pursuant to Section 5(c) below and if so, the additional information required pursuant such Section. Whether or not the Company exercises its right of redemption under Section 5(c) below, 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 at the Change of Control Redemption Price 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.

(c) Company Redemption Right . Notwithstanding Section 5(a) hereof, in the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall have the right to redeem all of the Notes (a “ Company Change of Control Redemption ”), in whole and not in part, at a price equal to the Change of Control Redemption Price. The Company shall exercise its right pursuant to this Section 5(c) by delivery of the Change of Control Notice (the “ Company Change of Control Redemption Notice ”) in writing to each of the holders of the Notes, which notice shall additionally 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 (as defined below), (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 (iv) the Change of Control Redemption Price that is to be paid to each holder of the Notes on the Company Change of Control Redemption Date. The Company Change of Control Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

(d) Redemptions Under This Section 5 . The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at the Change of Control Redemption Price. Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5

 

12


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(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price 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 Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, at the Holder’s option, the principal amount redeemed shall be deducted from any of the Company Redemption Amounts relating to the applicable Company Redemption Dates or from the Maturity Date Payment or from any other amount owing from the Company pursuant hereto as set forth by the Holder in the Change of Control Redemption Notice. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5, 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 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.

(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.

(b) Other Corporate Events . Without duplication of any other rights or adjustments 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, at the Holder’s option, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event had the Securities been converted immediately prior to such Corporate Event (without taking into account any restrictions or limitations on the convertibility of the Securities). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. 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 Issuance Date through the eighteen (18) month 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 Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. If and whenever after the eighteen (18) month 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) in a Dilutive Issuance, then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 

14


(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received . In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Black Scholes Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, less (II) the Black Scholes Value of such Options. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration

 

15


consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the stockholders of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined, at the Company’s expense, within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10 th ) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

(v) Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(vi) Conversion Floor Price . Until such time as the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market in order to allow the Conversion Price to be less than the Conversion Floor Price (as defined below), including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated (the “Required Stockholder Approval” ), no adjustment pursuant to Sections 7(a), 7(c), 7(d), 8(d) or 12(a) shall cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.397, as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring after the Subscription Date (the “ Conversion Floor Price ”).

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

16


(c) Other Events . If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 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), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

(d) Voluntary Decrease By Company . The Company from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the decrease is irrevocable during the period if the Board of Directors determines that such decrease would be in the best interest of the Company or the Board of Directors deems it advisable to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with any stock or rights dividend or distribution or similar event, and the Company provides 15 days prior notice of any increase in the Conversion Price. In addition, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

(e) De Minimis Adjustments . No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 in such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 7(e) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments under this Section 7. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Company’s Common Stock.

(8) MANDATORY COMPANY REDEMPTIONS .

(a) Monthly and Quarterly Redemptions .

(i) On each Monthly Installment Date, the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of this Note equal to the Monthly Installment Amount at a price equal to the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash on such Monthly Redemption Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.

(ii) On each Quarterly Installment Date, the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of this Note equal to the applicable Catch-up Amount at the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash on the Quarterly Redemption Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.

(b) Asset Disposition Redemptions . At any time and from time to time, the Company shall have the right to effect an Asset Disposition that is not a Permitted Asset Disposition pursuant to the further requirements of this Section 8(b). If the Company intends to effect an Asset Disposition that is not a Permitted Asset Disposition, the Company

 

17


shall first provide each holder of the Notes with written notice thereof (which shall be subject to Section 31 hereof) by confirmed facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Notes (the “ Asset Disposition Notice ” and the date the notice is delivered to all the holders is referred to as the “ Asset Disposition Notice Date ”) by the later of ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation thereof or the public announcement thereof which shall state (A) the amount of the anticipated aggregate net cash proceeds to be received by the Company from the Asset Disposition, (B) the anticipated date on which the Asset Disposition shall occur and (C) confirm that the Company shall use fifty percent of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from such Asset Disposition (the “ Asset Proceeds ”) to redeem the Notes. No later than one (1) Business Day following the day on which the Company has received any of the Asset Proceeds (such following Business Day, the “ Asset Disposition Redemption Date ”), the Company shall redeem a Principal amount of this Note equal to the resulting product of the Holder Pro Rata Amount and fifty percent (50%) of such Asset Proceeds (the “ Asset Disposition Redemption Amount ”) at a price equal to the Company Redemption Price to be paid in cash by wire transfer initiated on the Asset Disposition Redemption Date, subject to the provisions of this Se
