Re:Terms of Forbearance

 

Dear Dr. Herschkowitz:

 

I am writing to set forth the terms of the forbearance by you and your affiliate, Atlantic Partners Alliance, LLC (“APA”) from exercising certain default rights against BioDrain Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) and its affiliates as of the date of this letter (the “Effective Date”). In exchange for your agreement to such forbearance as described in this letter agreement and your other agreements herein, you will be entitled to the compensation as set forth below in Section 6. Unless otherwise stated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning(s) ascribed to them in the Note Purchase Agreement, as defined below.

 

In consideration of the compensation set forth in Section 6 and other promises and covenants made in this letter agreement, the sufficiency of which consideration is acknowledged by both parties hereto, you and the Company agree as follows:

 

1.          Background. You and the Company entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 20, 2011 and subsequently amended and restated effective as of the same date (as amended, the “Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to you a Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 21, 2011, in the original principal amount of $225,000 (as amended concurrently with the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, the “Herschkowitz Note”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement. As security for the Herschkowitz Note, you hold a first security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. Further, SOK Partners, LLC, (“SOK”) which is also an affiliate of APA, entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of March 28, 2012 (the “SOK Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to SOK a Convertible Promissory Grid Note dated as of March 28, 2011, in the principal amount of up to $600,000 (the “SOK Note”).

 

 
 

 

2.          Protection Against Dilution. The Company and APA are also parties to a letter agreement dated March 14, 2012 (the “Anti-Dilution Letter”), providing APA and its affiliates (including you and SOK) with certain rights to avoid dilution relating to additional issuances of equity securities by the Company, evidencing the parties’ intent that APA would be provided with significant protection against dilution. This protection was in recognition of APA’s investments in the Company involving a high degree of risk and the Company’s contemplated need for restructuring its indebtedness, which would result in significant dilution. The parties acknowledge that you and SOK would not have made their historical cash investments in the Company to the same degree had the dilution protection not been provided, and the investments by APA have enabled the Company to avoid insolvency. Since the respective dates of the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement and the SOK Note Purchase Agreement, the Company has issued in excess of 16,000,000 shares of common stock to parties other than APA and its affiliates, resulting in significant dilution.

 

3.          Default Notice. Pursuant to a letter dated April 20, 2012, you advised the Company of the occurrence of certain events of default under the terms of the Herschkowitz Note and the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement. As a result of such events of default, you asserted significant rights as a secured creditor of the Company.

 

4.          Existing Defaults. You and the Company acknowledge that the Company is in default under the following provisions of the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement and/or the Herschkowitz Note, as applicable (the “Existing Defaults”), and such Existing Defaults constitute “Events of Default” as set forth in Section 11 of the Herschkowitz Note and under the Default Notice. You further acknowledge and represent that the below-listed events are the only Events of Default as of the Effective Date:

 

a.           Herschkowitz Note, Section 11(d): The Company has failed to pay past due amounts aggregating to $332,000 under the terms of three convertible debenture notes issued by the Company to Dean and Carol Ruwe, plus unpaid interest.

 

b.           Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, Section 1.04: The Company has failed to register, and cause to be declared effective such registration under the Securities Act, the 1,546,666 shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were issued in connection with the Equity Bonus and in payment of the Board Meeting Fees.

 

c.           Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, Section 4.01: The Company has failed on two occasions to invite the Board Advisors to meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors.

d.           Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, Section 4.02: The Company has failed to (i) register the Penalty Shares under the Securities Act and (ii) obtain and deliver to you a legal opinion from legal counsel confirming that: (A) the Penalty Shares are registered under the Securities Act and may be sold upon compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and (B) any legends upon the stock certificates evidencing the Penalty Shares may be removed upon a sale in compliance with such prospectus delivery requirements.

 

e.           Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, Section 4.04: The Company has failed to deliver to you the Budget not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of certain months following the date of the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement.

 

5.          Forbearance. As of the Effective Date, in consideration of the mutual agreements of the parties herein, you and each of your affiliates, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, insurers, indemnitors, trustees, agents and representatives, hereby forbear from exercising any of your rights arising under the Herschkowitz Note or the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement with respect to the Existing Defaults against the Company, and each of its respective officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, insurers, indemnitors, attorneys, employees, agents and representatives; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this letter agreement and shall not release or waive any breach of this letter agreement. You further agree to forbear from exercising any rights with respect to events of default, security interests in the Collateral and other similar remedies against the Company or its interests under the Herschkowitz Note or the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Herschkowitz Note): (a) that does not constitute an Existing Default and (b) occurs and accrues after the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Forbearance Termination Conditions”). The Company acknowledges that, subject to the forbearance as described herein and the other provisions of this letter agreement, you retain all of your rights and remedies under the Herschkowitz Note and the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, which rights and remedies remain in full force and effect until otherwise terminated.

 

6.          Penalty Shares. You and the Company acknowledge that 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, constituting the “Penalty Shares” under Section 4.02 of the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement, have been delivered to you prior to the Effective Date as provided in the Herschkowitz Note Purchase Agreement upon an Event of Default.
