Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 10, 2010, Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Numoda Purchase Agreement”) with Numoda Capital Innovations, LLC (“NCI”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to NCI, at a price per share of $0.17, in satisfaction of $595,000 of services rendered to the Company by Numoda Corporation.  The Company has agreed to register such shares of common stock within 120 days of May 10, 2010.
 
The description of the Numoda Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Numoda Purchase Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 13, 2010, the Company issued and sold 139 shares of non-convertible, redeemable Series A preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to Optimus Life Sciences Capital Partners LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to the terms of a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated September 24, 2009 (the “Optimus Purchase Agreement”).  The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock was $1.39 million.  No more shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain available for sale under the Optimus Purchase Agreement.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock described above are being offered and sold in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The information in Item 1.01 and 8.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with the issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock described above, an affiliate of the Investor exercised a warrant to purchase 7,607,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per share.  The Company and the Investor also agreed to waive certain terms and conditions in the Optimus Purchase Agreement and such warrant in order to permit the affiliate of the Investor to exercise such warrant and acquire beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise.  As permitted by the terms of such warrant, the aggregate exercise price of $1,369,260 received by the Company is payable pursuant to a 4 year full recourse promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 2% per year.  In addition, in connection with the foregoing issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued an additional warrant to an affiliate of the Investor (the “Additional Warrant”) to purchase up to 2,818,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the Additional Warrant.  The exercise price of the Additional Warrant may be paid (at the option of the Investor) in cash or by the Investor’s issuance of a four-year, full-recourse promissory note, bearing interest at 2% per annum, and secured by specified portfolio of assets owned by the Investor.  The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the public resale of shares issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant no later than June 24, 2010 and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter.  The Additional Warrant is exercisable through the third anniversary of the effective date of such registration statement.

Form of Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
 
Warrant No.: 2010-1
Issuance Date: April __, 2010 
   
Number of Warrant Shares:  2,818,000
Initial Exercise Price:  $0.18

Advaxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, effective as of the date set forth above (the “Issuance Date”), Optimus CG II, Ltd., the holder hereof, or its designees or assigns (“Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times during the Exercise Period (as defined herein), that number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock set forth above (the “Warrant Shares”).
 
A.           This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 24, 2009, as amended, by and among the Company and the investor referred to therein (the “Purchase Agreement”) and accordingly, (i) all representations and warranties (and to the extent applicable, covenants) made by Investor pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Purchase Agreement are deemed to also be made by Investor to the Company as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein in full, and (ii) all representations and warranties (and to the extent applicable, covenants) made by Company pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, except as set forth under any writing delivered by Company to the Investor or as set forth in the SEC Reports, are deemed to also be made by Company to Investor as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein in full .  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in ARTICLE 13 hereof.
 
B.           The Company hereby covenants and agrees with Holder that (i) the Company will file the Warrant Registration Statement (as defined herein) covering the public resale by Holder of all Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by June 24, 2010, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as soon as possible thereafter, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to remain effective until the earlier of the first date upon which all Warrant Shares covered hereby have been sold or are Rule 144 Eligible, and (ii) that such Warrant Registration Statement shall conform in all respects with each of the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Registration Statement (as defined therein).
 

 
 

 

ARTICLE 1
EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

1.1           Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day during the Exercise Period, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice to the Company, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by the issuance and delivery of a recourse promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 (each, a “Recourse Note”), or, if applicable, by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1.3.  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On the same Trading Day on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) by 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, or the following Trading Day if received after such time or on a non-Trading Day, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and (i) provided that the Warrant Registration Statement is effective and the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, or (ii) if the Warrant Registration Statement is not effective or the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC FAST Program, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, which certificate shall be imprinted with the restrictive legends set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless either (A) the Warrant Registration Statement is current, valid and effective or (B) all of such Warrant Shares are Rule 144 Eligible (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrant) (in each case, as determined by counsel to the Company at the time of such issuance).  Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificate(s) evidencing the Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1.1 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Trading Days after any exercise and return of the previously issued Warrant, at its own expense issue a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

1.2           Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.18, subject to adjustment as provided in Article II hereof.

1.3           Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1.5 below), if at any time the Warrant Registration Statement is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the resale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

Net Number = (B-C) x A
B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

1.4           Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to timely issue to the Holder or its designee a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day that the issuance of such Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant Shares to the Holder without violating Section 1.1.  In addition to the foregoing, if after the Company’s receipt of the applicable Exercise Delivery Documents the Company shall fail to timely issue to the Holder or its designee a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be), and the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and to issue such Warrant Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock sold by Holder in satisfaction of its obligations, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

1.5           Exercise Limitation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, at no time may the Holder exercise this Warrant such that the number of Warrant Shares to be received pursuant to such exercise aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock, voting stock, and other securities of the Company (collectively, “Company Securities”) then owned by the Holder beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by the Holder would result in the Holder owning more than 9.99% of all of such Company Securities as would be outstanding on such Exercise Date, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  In addition, as of any date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable within 61 days, together with all other Company Securities then beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Rule 13(d) under the Exchange Act) by Holder and its affiliates, shall not exceed 9.99% of the total outstanding Company Securities as of such date.  At no time when the number of Warrant Shares then owned by the Holder, when aggregated with all other Company Securities then owned by the Holder beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by the Holder, would result in the Holder owning more than 1.0% of all outstanding Common Stock will Holder vote or cause to be voted any such shares.

 1.6           Restrictions.  For so long as Holder holds this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, Holder will not:  (i) vote any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of the Company; (ii) engage or participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of the Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result in beneficially owning or controlling more than 9.99% of the total outstanding Company Securities, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant  to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above; or (iii) request the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this Section 1.6.


 
4

 

1.7           Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

1.8           Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant (or any portion thereof) remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise in full of any unexercised portion of this Warrant (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the unexercised portion of the Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 90 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

ARTICLE 2
ADJUSTMENT UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK.

If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this ARTICLE 2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS

3.1           Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to ARTICLE 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

3.2           Fundamental Transactions.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Required Holders confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Required Holders would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Required Holders will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Required Holders would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section 3.2  shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.


 
6

 

3.3           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which the Successor Entity is a Public Successor Entity that assumes this Warrant such that this Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded common stock of such Public Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using a volatility equal to the 100 day average historical price volatility prior to the date of the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction.

ARTICLE 4
NONCIRCUMVENTION

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as the Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrant, 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the unexercised portion of the Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

ARTICLE 5
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this ARTICLE 5, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

ARTICLE 6
REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS; COMPANY CALL RIGHT

1.           Interest.  The principal balance outstanding, from time to time, shall bear interest from and after the date hereof at the rate of 2.0% per year.  Interest shall be calculated on a simple interest basis and the number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is being calculated.  Interest not paid when due shall be added to the principal.
 
2.           Payments.  If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance, interest thereon and any other charges due and payable under this Note shall be due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of this Note (“Maturity Date”); provided, however, that in no event shall this Note be due or payable at any time that (a) Lender is in default of any preferred stock purchase agreement for Series A Preferred Stock or any Warrant issued pursuant thereto, any loan agreement or other material agreement, or (b) there are any shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Lender issued or outstanding.  Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note at any time without penalty or premium.  In the event that Lender redeems all or a portion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by Borrower, Borrower shall apply, and Lender may offset, the proceeds of any such redemption to pay down the accrued interest and outstanding principal of this Note.  All payments shall be first be applied to interest, then to reduce the outstanding principal.
 
3.           Full Recourse Note.  THIS IS A FULL RECOURSE PROMISSORY NOTE.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that Borrower’s obligations under this Note are secured by the Collateral, in the event of a material default hereunder, Lender shall have full recourse to all the other assets of Borrower.  Moreover, Lender shall not be required to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral, or to pursue any Collateral in any particular order, before Lender pursues any other remedies against Borrower or against any of Borrower’s assets.
 
4.           Security
 
a.           Pledge.  As security for the due and prompt payment and performance of all payment obligations under this Note and any modifications, replacements and extensions hereof (collectively, “Secured Obligations”), Borrower hereby pledges and grants a security interest to Lender in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to all of the following, now owned or hereafter acquired or arising (together the “Collateral”):
 
i.           Publicly traded shares of common stock, preferred stock, bonds, notes and/or debentures (collectively, “Pledged Securities”) with a fair market value on the date hereof at least equal to the principal amount of this Note, based upon the trading price of such securities on the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, NYSE Amex, or New York Stock Exchange;
 

 
1

 

ii.           all rights of Borrower with respect to or arising out of the Pledged Securities, including voting rights, and all equity and debt securities and other property distributed or distributable with respect thereto as a result of merger, consolidation, dissolution, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, exchange, redemption, or other change in capital structure; and
 
iii.           all proceeds, replacements, substitutions, accessions and increases in any of the Collateral.
 
b.           Replacement Securities.  So long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding, in the event that Borrower sells or disposes of any Pledged Securities, Borrower shall promptly provide replacement securities of equal or greater value.
 
c.           Rights With Respect to Distributions.  So long as no default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower shall be entitled to receive any and all dividends and distributions made with respect to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral.  However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, Lender shall have the sole right (unless otherwise agreed by Lender) to receive and retain dividends and distributions and apply them to the outstanding balance of this Note or hold them as Collateral, at Lender’s election.
 
d.           Voting Rights.  So long as no default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral.  However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, all rights of Borrower to exercise the voting rights that Borrower would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Collateral shall cease and (unless otherwise agreed by Lender) all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lender, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.
 
e.           Financing Statement; Further Assurances.  Borrower agrees, concurrently with executing this Note, that Lender may file a UCC-1 financing statement relating to the Collateral in favor of Lender, and any similar financing statements in any jurisdiction in which Lender reasonably determines such filing to be necessary.  Borrower further agrees that at any time and from time to time Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents that Lender may request in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereby, or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies with respect to any Collateral, including, following an event of default, delivering the Collateral to Lender to hold as secured party.
 
f.           Powers of Lender.  Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, which power is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full, and may be exercised from time to time by Lender in its discretion:  To take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4(f) and, more broadly, this Note including, without limitation:  (i) to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to Collateral in accordance with this Note, (ii) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments or other forms of payment made payable to Borrower in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, (iii) to perform or cause the performance of any obligation of Borrower hereunder in Borrower’s name or otherwise, (iv) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to liquidate any Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder and to apply proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to place such proceeds into a cash collateral account or to transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender, all at Lender’s sole discretion, (v)  to enter into any extension, reorganization or other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit or surrender control of the Collateral, (vi) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral, (vii) to make any compromise or settlement Lender deems desirable or proper, and (viii) to execute on Borrower’s behalf and in Borrower’s name any documents required in order to give Lender a continuing first lien upon the Collateral or any part thereof.
 

 
2

 

5.           Additional Terms
 
a.           No Waiver.  The acceptance by Lender of payment of a portion of any installment when due or an entire installment but after it is due shall neither cure nor excuse the default caused by the failure of Borrower timely to pay the whole of such installment and shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment when due of any future or succeeding installments.
 
b.           Default.  Any one or more of the following shall constitute a “default” under this Note:  (i) a default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder, (ii) Borrower’s refusal to perform any material term, provision or covenant under this Note, (iii) the commencement of any liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other debtor-relief proceeding by or against Borrower, or subject to Section 4(b), the Collateral is transferred by Borrower without being replaced by Pledged Securities of equal or greater fair market value on the date of transfer, and (iv) the levying of any attachment, execution or other process against Borrower, or subject to Section 4(b) the Collateral or any material portion thereof.
 
c.           Default Rights
 
i.           Upon the occurrence of any payment default Lender may, at its election, declare the entire balance of principal and interest under this Note immediately due and payable.  A delay by Lender in exercising any right of acceleration after a default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy for such default.  The failure by Lender to exercise any right of acceleration as a result of a default shall not constitute a waiver of the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy with respect to any other default, whenever occurring.
 
ii.           Further, upon the occurrence of any material non-monetary default, following 30 days notice from Lender to Borrower specifying the default and demanded manner of cure for any non-monetary default, Lender shall thereupon and thereafter have any and all of the rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled after a default under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect.  In addition to its other rights and remedies, Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence of default, Lender may in its sole discretion do or cause to be done any one or more of the following:
 

 
3

 

d.           Proceed to realize upon the Collateral or any portion thereof as provided by law, and without liability for any diminution in price which may have occurred, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner, whether at any public or private sale, and whether in one lot as an entirety, or in separate portions, and for such price and other terms and conditions as is commercially reasonable given the nature of the Collateral.
 
e.           If notice to Borrower is required, give written notice to Borrower at least ten days before the date of sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof.
 
f.           Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into Lender’s name or in the name of its nominee or nominees.
 
g.           Vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of Lender) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto, as though Lender were the outright owner thereof.
 
i.           Borrower acknowledges that all or part of foreclosure of the Collateral may be restricted by state or federal securities laws, Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral, that a public sale is or may be impractical and inappropriate and that, in the event of such restrictions, Lender thus may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to its distribution or resale.  Borrower agrees that if reasonably necessary Lender may resort to one or more sales to a single purchaser or a restricted or limited group of purchasers.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the terms thereof shall be satisfactory to it.
 
ii.           If, in the opinion of Lender based upon written advice of counsel, any consent, approval or authorization of any federal, state or other governmental agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, Borrower shall execute all such applications and other instruments as may reasonably be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization, and will otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the same.
 
iii.           The rights, privileges, powers and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative, and no single or partial exercise of any of them shall preclude the further or other exercise of any of them.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.  Any proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Secured Obligations.
 

 
4

 

h.           No Oral Waivers or Modifications.  No provision of this Note may be waived or modified orally, but only in a writing signed by Lender and Borrower.
 
i.           Attorney Fees.  The prevailing party in any action by Lender to collect any amounts due under this Note shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
 
j.           Governing Law.  This Note has been executed and delivered in, and is to be construed, enforced, and governed according to the internal laws of, the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.
 
k.           Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law.  However, if any provision of this Note shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of that provision or the other provisions of this Note.
 
l.           Entire Agreement.  This Note contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.
