$35,000,000    Issue Date: August 6, 2019
   Westlake Village, California

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”), dated as of August 6, 2019, is issued pursuant to the certain Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2019, by and between MANNKIND CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and THE MANN GROUP LLC ( “Lender”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of up to Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000), which amount represents the outstanding principal amount of this Note as of the date hereof, together with all PIK Interest (as defined below) added thereto and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, each due and payable on the dates and in the manner set forth below.

1. Principal Repayment. The outstanding principal amount of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on November 3, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).

2. Interest Rate. Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from the date thereof until payment in full, which interest shall be payable at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum.


Interest shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter commencing with October 1, 2019; provided that if such date is not a Business Day, interest shall be payable on the Business Day immediately succeeding such date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable in kind by adding the amount thereof to the principal amount of this Note (such interest, “PIK Interest”); provided that with respect to interest accruing from and after January 1, 2021, Borrower may, at its option, elect to, pay any such interest on any such Interest Payment Date in validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (“Interest Shares”) so long as each of the Equity Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied on each day during the Equity Conditions Measuring Period (as defined below) applicable to such Interest Payment Date.

If Borrower intends to issue Interest Shares, Borrower shall deliver a written notice (including via e-mail) to Lender on or prior to the fifth Trading Day (as defined below) prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (such notice, an “Interest Share Notice”), electing to pay all or any portion of the accrued but unpaid and uncapitalized interest payable on such Interest Payment Date in Interest Shares, which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the amount of interest to be paid in Interest Shares, together with an Officer’s Certificate (as defined below) certifying that the Equity Conditions with respect to such payment in Interest Shares will have been met as of the applicable Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Equity Conditions fail to have been met as of the applicable Interest Payment Date, the applicable interest shall be payable by adding the amount thereof to the principal amount of this Note. Any interest to be paid in Interest Shares on an Interest Payment Date shall be paid in a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of the accrued but unpaid and uncapitalized interest payable on such Interest Payment Date less any such payment payable by adding such amount to the principal amount of this Note, divided by (2) the Last Reported Sale Price (as defined below) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable payment date. If the issuance of Interest Shares would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, Borrower shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 being rounded up).

Equity Conditions means, with respect to the payment of interest in Interest Shares:

(i)     either (1) all of the Interest Shares (in the case of a payment of interest in Interest Shares) held by a non-Affiliate of Borrower shall be eligible for sale without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws or (2) a shelf registration statement registering the resale of such Interest Shares has been filed by Borrower and been declared effective by the Commission or is automatically effective and is available for use, and Borrower expects such shelf registration statement to remain effective and available for use from the applicable Interest Payment Date until thirty (30) days following the applicable Interest Payment Date;

(ii)     during the applicable Equity Conditions Measuring Period, the Common Stock is listed or traded on an Eligible Market (as defined below) and shall not have been suspended from trading on such Eligible Market (other than suspensions of not more than two Trading Days and occurring prior to the applicable date of determination due to business announcements by Borrower) nor shall delisting or suspension by such Eligible Market been threatened or pending either (A) in writing by such exchange or market or (B) by falling below the then effective minimum listing maintenance requirements of such Eligible Market;

(iii)     any applicable Interest Shares may be issued in full without violating the rules or regulations of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or trading;

(vi)     any applicable Interest Shares shall be duly authorized and will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Note;

(v)    the issuance of the applicable Interest Shares shall not cause Lender (together with Lender‘s Affiliates) to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such Interest Shares (after giving effect to the limitations specified in Section 8.7 and any analogous limitations on conversion or exercise contained in any other securities of Borrower held by Lender or Lender‘s Affiliates); and

(vi)     no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The outstanding amount of this Note set forth on such Exhibit A shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof outstanding, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower to make payments of principal of or interest on this Note when due.

6. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

6.1 Borrower has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

None of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

6.9 Neither Borrower, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, has made or will make any offers or sales of any security, or has solicited or will solicit any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause the offering and issuance of the Interest Shares or Conversion Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by Borrower (i) for purposes of the Securities Act and which would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval provisions of NASDAQ and which would require stockholder approval for the issuance of any Interest Shares or Conversion Shares.

7. Representation and Warranties of Lender. Lender hereby represents and warrants to Borrower as follows:

7.1 Lender has full right, power and authority to enter into this Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Note.

Lender also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow Lender to transfer all or any portion of any of the Securities under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Lender might propose.

8. Conversion.

8.1 Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 8, Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s option, to convert all or any portion of this Note at any time and from time to time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at an initial conversion rate of 400 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 8, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of this Note (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 8.2, the “Conversion Obligation”). Any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note may also be converted at Lender’s option into Common Stock on the same terms as the principal of this Note.

8.2 Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a)    Upon conversion of all or part of the principal amount of this Note and/or any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Borrower shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by delivering to Lender a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) (x) the Conversion Rate, multiplied by (y) the principal amount of this Note being converted and/or, accrued and unpaid interest thereon being converted, divided by (ii) $1,000, by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.

(b)    Before Lender shall be entitled to convert this Note as set forth above, Lender shall complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to Borrower as set forth in Exhibit B hereto (or a facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at Borrower’s address set forth on Exhibit B hereto, and state in writing therein the principal amount of this Note and/or accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be converted.

(c)    This Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that Lender has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above or, if accrued and unpaid interest is being converted at or prior to the applicable interest payment date, such interest payment date. Borrower shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to Lender, the full number of shares of Common Stock to which Lender shall be entitled in satisfaction of Borrower’s Conversion Obligation within five (5) days following the Conversion Date.

 

5


(d)    If Lender submits all or part of this Note and/or accrued and unpaid interest thereon for conversion from time to time, Borrower shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion.

(e)    Except as provided in Section 8.3, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of this Note and/or accrued and unpaid interest thereon as provided in this Section 8.

(f)    Lender shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of principal of this Note, Lender shall no longer be deemed to be the holder of this Note with respect to that principal amount of this Note surrendered for conversion.

(g)    Borrower shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the principal of this Note, and/or any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and shall instead round any fractional share that is greater than 0.5 up to one whole share of Common Stock and round any fractional share that is 0.5 and below down to zero.

(h)    Upon the conversion of principal of this Note, Borrower shall make a notation on Exhibit A of this Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.

8.3.     Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by Borrower as follows:

(a)    If Borrower issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if Borrower effects a share split or a share combination (i.e., a reverse stock split), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

 

  where,   
CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR’   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable;
OS0   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable; and
OS’   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 8.3(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 8.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b)    If Borrower issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a

 

6


price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

 

  where,   
CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance;
CR’   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;
OS0   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;
X   =    the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y   =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 8.3(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if no such rights, options or warrants are exercised prior to the expiration, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 8.3(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle Lender to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by Borrower for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by Borrower in good faith.

(c)    If Borrower distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of Borrower or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 8.3(d) shall apply, (iii) dividends or distributions that constitute Reference Property following an event pursuant to Section 8.6(f) and (iv) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 8.3(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of

 

7


indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

 

  where,   
CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
CR’   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;
SP0   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV   =    the fair market value (as determined by Borrower in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Record Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 8.3(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, Lender shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount and/or accrued and unpaid interest thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property Lender would have received if Lender owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 8.3(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or other business units, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

 

  where,   
CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR’   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
FMV0   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 8.6 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
MP0   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

 

8


The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion of this Note, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.

(d)    If Borrower makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

 

  where,   
CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR’   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0   =    the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
C   =    the amount in cash per share Borrower distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, Lender shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount and/or accrued and unpaid interest of this Note converted (or portion thereof), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that Lender would have received if Lender owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e)    If Borrower or any of its subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than odd-lot tender offers), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula.

 

 

  where,   
CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

9


CR’   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
AC   =    the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by Borrower in good faith) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS’   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP’   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.3(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion of this Note, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate.

If Borrower is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 8.3(e) but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.

(f)    Except as provided in this Section 8, Borrower shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(g)    In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 8.3, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules and/or listing standards of any exchange on which any of Borrower’s securities are then listed and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Borrower from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in Borrower’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules and/or listing standards of any exchange on which any of Borrower’s securities are then listed and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Borrower may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase the Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

 

10


(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i)    upon the issuance of Common Stock at a price below the Conversion Price or otherwise, other than any such issuance described in Section 8.3(a), Section 8.3(b) or Section 8.3(c);

(ii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on Borrower’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(iii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by Borrower or any of Borrower’s subsidiaries;

(iv)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Note was first issued;

(v)    for a third-party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by one or more of Borrower’s subsidiaries as described in Section 8.3(e);

(vi)    upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open market share purchase program or other buy-back transaction, including structured or derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions or similar forward derivatives, or other buy-back transaction, that is not a tender or exchange offer of the kind described in Section 8.3(e) above;

(vii)    solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(viii)    for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Further, if the application of the foregoing formulas in Section 8.3 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (except on account of a reverse stock split).

(i)    All calculations and other determinations under this Section 8 shall be made by Borrower and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which would be required to be made but for this Section 8.3(i) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment and any carry forward amount shall be paid to the holder of this Note upon conversion regardless of the 1% threshold. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.

(j)    For purposes of this Section 8.3, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Borrower so long as Borrower does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Borrower, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

8.4 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires Borrower to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Record Date, Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices are to be calculated.

For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments made pursuant to the foregoing paragraph shall be made, solely to the extent the Board of Directors determines that any such adjustment is necessary, without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to the provisions set forth under Section 8.3.

8.5 Shares to Be Fully Paid. Borrower shall reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of this Note in full.

 

11


8.6 Certain Covenants.

(a)     Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights and free of any taxes, liens or adverse claims.

(b)    Borrower covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of this Note hereunder require registration with or approval of any Governmental Entity under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, Borrower will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable state laws, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c)    Borrower further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system Borrower will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note.

(d)    Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is required to be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Note, Borrower shall promptly mail to the holder a notice of the adjustment and a certificate signed by an officer of Borrower (“Officer’s Certificate”) briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment, the adjusted Conversion Rate and the manner of computing it. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment. Unless and until the holder of this Note shall receive an Officer’s Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, such holder may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

(e)    If any of the following events occur:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(2) any consolidation, merger, or combination involving Borrower with another corporation,

(3) any sale, conveyance or lease to any other corporation of all or substantially all of the property and assets of Borrower, or

(4) any statutory share exchange,

in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (the “Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the holder of this Note will be entitled thereafter to convert the Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such transaction had such notes been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction. In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the reference property will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such election. Borrower shall notify the holder of this Note of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of the holder of this Note to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of such transaction. The above provisions of this Section 8.6(f) shall similarly apply to successive recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 8.6(f) applies to any event or occurrence, Section 8.3 hereof shall not apply. Borrower shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of the holder of this Note to convert this Note as set forth in Section 8 prior to the effective time of such transaction.

8.7 Conversion Limitation. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall not effect the conversion of this Note and Lender shall not have the right to convert this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, Lender (together with Lender’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the

 

12


Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Lender 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 (i.e., the particular conversion requested by Lender at such time), but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by Lender and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of Borrower beneficially owned by Lender and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any other convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph and for purposes of the definition of Equity Conditions, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Lender may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) Borrower’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the date thereof, (y) a more recent public announcement by Borrower or (z) any other notice by Borrower or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. By written notice to Borrower, Lender may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-fifth (65th) day after such notice is delivered to Borrower. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph 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 and comply with any rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

14


(d)     Any representation or warranty made herein or in any other document delivered in connection herewith shall be incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made (except where any such representation or warranty by the terms thereof is subject to a materiality standard, in which case such representation or warranty shall be incorrect or misleading in any respect); or

(e)    Borrower fails to deliver when due all shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note and/or accrued and unpaid interest thereon pursuant to Section 8, which failure continues for 10 days.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, all unpaid principal, accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder shall, at the option of Lender, and, in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to (b) or (c) above, automatically, be immediately due, payable and collectible by Lender pursuant to applicable law, the commitment of Lender to lend shall, at the option of Lender, and in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to (b) or (c) above, automatically, terminate, and the interest rate applicable to outstanding principal amount of this Note while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall increase to 12% per annum, or the maximum rate permissible by law as defined above, whichever is less.

Borrower, by execution and delivery of this Note, hereby irrevocably accepts in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

12. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign to one or more other persons all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Note.

13. Integration. This Note reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement or instrument, oral or written, before or after the date hereof.

14. Amendments, Modification, Etc. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Note, and no consent to any departure by Lender or Borrower and their assigns therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

15. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Note preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender under this Note against Borrower are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Lender to exercise any of its rights under this Note against Borrower or any other person.

16. Expenses. Borrower agrees to reimburse, periodically and upon request, and at the date of effectiveness of this Note or upon termination of this Note, (i) Lender’s reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Lender’s attorneys, arising in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
