CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$                

Promissory Note No.     
[                          , 2008]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ProUroCare Medical Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to                                    (“Holder”), the principal sum of            DOLLARS ($          ), together with interest as provided for herein, in lawful currency of the United States of America.  This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

 

This Note is issued pursuant to, and is entitled to the benefits of the provisions of that certain Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of                         , 2008, (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, the Holder and the other parties thereto.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Unit Purchase Agreement.

 

SECTION 1
Terms

 

Section 1.1     Interest Rate.  The Company agrees that interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from the date of this Note until the principal and interest have been converted in accordance with the provisions hereof or paid in full, with interest accruing at a fixed rate per annum equal to ten percent (10.0%).  Such interest shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

 

Section 1.2     Annual Interest Payment.  Subject to the earlier conversion of this Note, the interest accrued on this Note from the date of this Note through the [one-year anniversary of the date of the Unit Purchase Agreement] shall be payable to the Holder in cash on [such one-year anniversary].  At the option of the Holder, such accrued interest, in whole or in part, may be converted into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value (the “Common Stock”) as is obtained by dividing (A) the amount of such accrued interest by (B) the closing price of the Common Stock on [the one-year anniversary of the date of the Unit Purchase Agreement].

 



 

Section 1.3     Conversion Date.  On [the eighteen-month anniversary of the date of the Unit Purchase Agreement] (the “Maturity Date”), the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note shall automatically convert into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is obtained by dividing (A) the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note by (B) $0.005 (the “Conversion Price”).  All or any portion of the accrued but unpaid interest on the Note shall, at the option of the Holder, be (i) converted into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is obtained by dividing (A) such accrued but unpaid interest by (B) the Conversion Price or (ii) paid to the Holder in cash.

 

Section 1.4     Conversion Upon a Public Offering.  In the event that a Public Offering is completed before the Maturity Date, without any act by the Company or the Holder hereof, at the effective date of such Public Offering, the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon (such principal and accrued interest, the “Outstanding Balance”) shall be automatically converted into that number and type of equity securities issued by the Company in a Public Offering as is obtained by dividing (A) the Outstanding Balance by (B) the product of (i) the Offering Price and (ii) 0.70.  For purposes of this Note, (i) “Public Offering” shall mean an underwritten public offering of equity securities of the Company and (ii) “Offering Price” shall mean the per share or other unit price at which equity securities of the Company are offered in the Public Offering.

 

Section 1.5     Optional Prepayment.  Subject to the Holder’s right to have all interest accrued from the date of this Note through the [the one-year anniversary of the date of the Unit Purchase Agreement] converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof, beginning on [the one-year anniversary of the date of the Unit Purchase Agreement], the Company may, at its option, without premium or penalty, upon five (5) days prior written notice to the Holder, repay the unpaid principal amount of this Note, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment.  The Company shall prepay such principal and interest to the Holders of all outstanding Notes on a pro rata basis.  Any such prepayment shall be applied first to the payment of accrued interest and then to repayment of principal.  Upon any partial prepayment of the unpaid principal amount of this Note, the Holder shall make notation on this Note of the portion of the principal so prepaid.

 

Section 1.6     Subordination.  This Note shall be subordinated in all respects (including right of payment) to all other indebtedness of the Company, now existing or hereafter owing, to banks and other such financial institutions.

 

Section 1.6  No Fractional Shares or Scrips.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.  In lieu of issuing such fractional shares, the Company shall pay all of the cash value of any fractional interest to Holder.

 

                Section 1.7  No Impairment.  Without limiting or altering the provisions or obligations of the Company under this Note or the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it pursuant to this Note and the Unit Purchase Agreement and shall at all times in good faith assist in the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it pursuant to this Note and the Unit Purchase Agreement.

                Section 1.8  Issuance of Shares.  Holder acknowledges that the Company currently has insufficient authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of this Note and all of the other similar notes sold pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement in accordance with Section 1.3 hereof.

 

                Section 1.9  Release of Obligations.  Upon conversion or prepayment of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

 

                Section 1.10  Adjustment.

 

(a)                                  Adjustments for Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall make, issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of capital stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution (including a stock split or subdivision) payable in securities of the Company, then and in such event provisions shall be made so that the Holder shall receive, upon conversion of this Note, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company that the Holder would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by the Holder as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Note with respect to the rights of the Holder under the Note.

 

(b)                                 Adjustment for Reclassifications, Exchanges, or Substitutions.  If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of capital stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for elsewhere), then and in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)                                  Reorganization; Mergers; Consolidations; Sales of Assets.  If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock issuable on conversion of this Note (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification, or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other entity, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of capital stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such

merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Note with respect to the rights of the Holder after the reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Note shall be applicable after the event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

(d)                                 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company at any time or from time to time effects a subdivision of the outstanding capital stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time combines the outstanding shares of capital stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection (d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(e)                                  Effects of Reverse Stock Split.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the price at which this Note converts under Section 1.4 hereof in the event of a Public Offering shall not be adjusted under this Section 1.10 for the Company’s Reverse Stock Split.  For purposes of this Note, “Reverse Stock Split” shall mean the ten-for-one reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock effective prior to the effectiveness of a Public Offering.  For example, after the Reverse Stock Split, the Outstanding Balance shall still be automatically converted into that number and type of equity securities issued by the Company in a Public Offering as is obtained by dividing (A) the Outstanding Balance by (B) the product of (i) the Offering Price and (ii) 0.70.

 

SECTION 2

Section 2.1  Events of Default.   The Outstanding Balance of this Note shall become due and payable without any action on the part of the Holder thereof upon the happening of any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”):
