CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Note 2010-
$[Principal Amount of Note] | December , 2010 |
This Convertible Secured Promissory Note (Note) is one of a series of notes (the Notes) issued in connection with that certain Release and Securities Issuance Agreement between Pacific DataVision, a California corporation (the Company) and the employees listed on the signature pages thereto, dated December , 2010 (the Securities Issuance Agreement). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Securities Issuance Agreement, the Company promises to pay to the order of [Name of Noteholder] (the Holder) in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of $[Principal Amount of Note] (as may be reduced pursuant to Section 1.1 below) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the earlier of (i) in the event the Holders employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below), such termination date, or (ii) June 30, 2013 (the Maturity Date). Interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Note commencing as of April 1, 2009 and shall be paid pursuant to the terms of this Note.
For purposes of the foregoing, Cause shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events during the Holders employment period with the Company: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Holder with respect to Holders obligations or otherwise relating to the business of Company; (b) Holders material breach of its Nondisclosure Agreement with the Company; (c) Holders conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; and (d) Holders willful neglect of duties as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Companys Board of Directors.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Company, by the issuance of this Note, and the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agree:
1. | Payment. |
1.1 Payment. In the event that the Note has not converted into Company equity pursuant to Section 2 below and the Company achieves EBITDA (as defined below) in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000 for any quarter (the EBITDA Threshold), within thirty (30) days following such quarter, the Company agrees to use up to 20% of the EBITDA Threshold (the EBITDA Amount) to pay the outstanding and unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest, to the holders of the Notes on a pro rata basis pursuant to Section 1.2 below. In the event the EBITDA Amount is insufficient to pay the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest, the Company shall pay any remaining amounts owed to the holders of the Notes within thirty (30) days of any subsequent quarter in which the Company achieves the EBITDA Threshold, provided however, in no event shall the Company be required to pay in excess of 20% of the EBITDA Threshold to the holders of the Notes in any quarter. For purposes hereof, EBITDA shall mean the Companys earnings for the relevant quarter prior to reductions for income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
1.2 Pro Rata Payments. Any payments to the holders of Notes by the Company pursuant to Section 1.1 will be made on a pro rata basis among such holders of Notes based on the amount of principal and interest outstanding for each Note divided by the aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding for all Notes subject to this section (for example, if a Note holder has $3,000 of principal and accrued interest and the aggregate amount of outstanding principal and interest under the Notes subject to Section 1.1 equals $30,000, then that holder will receive 10% of any payments made to the holders of Notes under Section 1.1).
2. Optional Conversion. Unless this Note is previously repaid, upon the election of the Holder at any time prior to the date which is five (5) days prior to a Liquidation Event, the entire then-outstanding principal amount of this Note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (or in each case, any portion thereof) shall be converted into shares of the Companys Series AA Preferred Stock (the Series AA Preferred). The number of shares of Series AA Preferred to be issued upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the entire then-outstanding principal amount of this Note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon by (ii) $0.40, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
3. Events of Default.
3.1 Definition. The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed to constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a) the failure of the Company after the Maturity Date to pay the principal and accrued interest under this Note; or (b) any Liquidation Event (as defined below).
3.2 Liquidation Event. If there shall occur (a) any Liquidation Event, the entire unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically become due and payable, without any requirement by the Holder to give notice, present the Note, make
2
demand, protest or give other notice of any kind of character, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and (b) any Event of Default (other than a Liquidation Event), then the Holder may declare the entire unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Company, whereupon the entire unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically become due and payable, without any further requirement by the Holder to present the Note, make demand, protest or give additional notice of any kind of character, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. As used herein, Liquidation Event means the occurrence or institution by or against the Company of (i) any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding, (ii) any appointment of a receiver or custodian for all or a substantial portion of the Companys property; (iii) any assignment for the benefit of, or composition or arrangement with, the creditors of the Company (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws), or (iv) any dissolution, liquidation, or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company.
4. The Holders Rights on Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Holder shall have all the rights provided to a creditor in the California Commercial Code and all other rights available at law or in equity.
5. Transfer: Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of the Company. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Note may be transferred only upon surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company. Thereupon, a new note for the same principal amount and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee or assignee, as applicable. Interest and principal are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.
6. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Notes then outstanding; provided, however, that the terms of any such amendment, waiver or modification shall apply equally to all outstanding Promissory Notes.
7. Notices. Except as otherwise provided, all notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given upon receipt or, if earlier, (i) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (ii) one (1) business day after the day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid, if delivered by overnight courier or (iii) one (1) business day after the day of facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile transmission with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed, (a) if to the Holder, at Holders address set forth on Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as such Holder shall have furnished the Company in writing, or (b) if to the Company, at the following address:
