FOR VALUE
RECEIVED , the undersigned, Sutura, Inc. , a Delaware
corporation (the " Maker "), hereby promises to pay
to the order of Whitebox Hedged High Yield Partners, L.P. ,
a British Virgin Islands limited partnership, or its assigns (the "
Payee "), at such place as the Payee may designate in
writing, the principal sum of Four Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars ($475,500) under the terms set forth herein.
This Note is one of a series of four Notes (together, the
"Series Notes" ) being issued by Maker on the
date hereof.
1. Interest . The unpaid principal balance hereof
from time to time outstanding shall bear interest from the date
hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.
2. Payment . Except as otherwise provided herein,
and subject to any default hereunder, the principal and interest
hereof is payable as follows:
(a) Interest only is payable
in cash or stock (as provided below) quarterly in arrears on the
last day of each calendar quarter, beginning March 31,
2007.
(i) The
parties hereby agree that the Company may pay interest due
hereunder, or any portion thereof, by issuing to the Payee fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Maker’s Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share, in lieu of cash. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon payment of any portion of an interest
payment hereunder in stock shall be computed by dividing each such
applicable portion of the interest payment to be paid in shares of
Common Stock by the Conversion Rate (as defined below ) in effect
at such time.
(ii) The
Conversion Rate shall be equal to the greater of (i) $0.045 per
share; or (ii) the average of the daily closing bid prices for the
Company’s Common Stock over a period of 30 consecutive
Trading Days. The last day of such 30 day period will be the
Trading Day immediately prior to the day in which a interest
payment is due. A " Trading Day " is (x) a day on which
the Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the
American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market, the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market or OTC Bulletin Board (all " Trading Markets
"), or (y) if the Common Stock is not quoted on any Trading Market,
a day on which the Common Stock is quoted in the over-the-counter
market as reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or any similar
organization or agency succeeding to its function of reporting
prices).
(iii) Any
Common Stock issued in payment of any portion of the interest
payments shall have those registration rights set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) On June 30, 2008
(the "Maturity Date" ), the remaining outstanding
principal balance of this Note will be due and payable in cash,
together with all then-accrued but unpaid interest.
(c) Except as provided
herein, the Maker will have no right of early prepayment on this
Note.
3. Conversion .
(a) At any time while any
portion of the principal or interest of this Note is outstanding,
the Payee may give the Maker written notice (the " Payee
Notice ") of its intention to convert all or any portion of
the outstanding principal and/or accrued but unpaid interest on
this Note into shares of the Maker’s Common Stock based on a
conversion rate as described below (the " Conversion
Rate "). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
payment of any portion of the outstanding principal and/or accrued
but unpaid interest on this Note shall be computed by dividing each
such applicable portion of the payment to be paid in shares of
Common Stock by the Conversion Rate in effect at such time. Upon
receipt of the Payee Notice, the Maker shall immediately cause
certificates dated the Payee Notice date and representing these
shares to be delivered to Payee within 20 days of, and payment
shall be deemed to have been made on, the date of the Payee
Notice.
(b) The Conversion Rate shall
initially be equal to $0.045.
(c) The Conversion Rate (and,
as applicable, the factors above used to compute it) shall be
adjusted proportionally for any subsequent stock dividend or split,
stock combination or other similar recapitalization,
reclassification or reorganization of or affecting Maker’s
Common Stock. In case of any consolidation or merger to which the
Maker is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Maker is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Maker as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation
(including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a
third corporation into the Maker), then instead of receiving shares
of Maker’s Common Stock, Payee shall have the right
thereafter to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities and property which the Payee would have owned or
have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had the same portion
of this Note been paid
