4. Subsequent
Installments.
Each of
the Purchasers shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, make one
or
more additional advances to the Company in the aggregate amount up to (and
not
to exceed) the amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule
1
hereto
under the heading “Subsequent
Installment Amount,”
in one
or more fundings from time to time from the Closing Date through July 31,
2005
(each such advance, a “Subsequent
Installment”
and,
collectively, the “Subsequent
Installments”).
If
the Company desires the Purchasers to make a Subsequent Installment, it shall
deliver a written request to the Purchasers, which request shall specify
the
amount of such Subsequent Installment, the intended use of such Subsequent
Installment funds and shall certify that the none of the events specified
in
clauses (i) through (iii) in the subsequent sentence shall have occurred
(the
“Funding
Request Notice”).
No
Purchaser shall be obligated to fund any Subsequent Installment if (i) any
representation or warranty by the Company contained herein shall be untrue
or
incorrect in any way on the date of such Subsequent Installment, (ii) that
certain letter of intent dated June 29, 2005 between an affiliate of the
Purchasers and the Company (the “Letter
of Intent”)
shall
have been terminated or the conditions to the payment of the termination
fee
contemplated by paragraph 5(c) of the Letter of Intent shall have occurred
(the
date any termination fee becomes due being deemed a termination thereof even
if
no formal written termination notice has been given), or (iii) any breach
or
default (including an Event of Default (defined below)) shall have occurred
and
be continuing under this Agreement, any Note, the Guaranty, the Security
Agreement, the Subordination Agreement or the Letter of Intent (collectively,
the “Bridge
Loan Documents”).
The
funding of any Subsequent Installment shall occur within five business days
after the receipt of the applicable Funding Request Notice by delivery by
Purchasers to the Company via wire transfer of immediately available United
States funds, the amount listed in the Funding Request Notice delivered to
such
Purchaser. All Installment Amounts and all payments of principal and interest
under each Note (or any portion, installment or drawdown thereon) shall be
recorded by the applicable Purchaser and endorsed on the grid which is part
of
such Purchaser’s Note. The entries on the grid which is part of such Note shall
be prima
facie
evidence
of amounts outstanding thereunder. The failure to make any such endorsement
or
any error in any such endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the
Company or the Guarantor in respect of the First Installment or any Subsequent
Installment. In no event shall the aggregate amount of all Subsequent
Installments advanced by any Purchaser exceed the amount set forth opposite
such
Purchaser’s name on Schedule
1
hereto
under the heading “Subsequent
Installment Amount.”
On or
before the date of any Subsequent Installment, the Company shall deliver
to the
Purchasers such documents as may be requested by them.
5. Terms
of the Notes.
(a) Maturity.
The
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, together with all accrued interest
thereon, shall be due and payable in full (without notice, demand or
presentment) on the earliest to occur of the following (the earliest of such
events, the “Maturity
Date”):
(i)
the date on which the Letter of Intent or the Definitive Documents (as such
term
is defined in the Letter of Intent) for the Proposed Transaction (as such
term
is defined in the Letter of Intent) shall have been terminated or the conditions
to the payment of the termination fee contemplated by paragraph 5(c) of the
Letter of Intent shall have occurred (the date any termination fee becomes
due
being deemed a termination thereof even if no formal written termination
notice
has been given) (the payment in full of the Notes shall be a condition precedent
to such termination of the Letter of Intent); (ii) the date any termination
fee
becomes due under the Letter of Intent or the definitive acquisition agreement
for the Proposed Transaction; (iii) the date on which the Company or any
of its
subsidiaries or affiliates enters into a letter of intent, written understanding
or definitive agreement relating to an Alternative Transaction (as such term
is
defined in the Letter of Intent) or the Company otherwise takes any action
adverse to the Proposed Transaction; (iv) the date on which the Proposed
Transaction is consummated; (v) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined below) and (vi) October 31, 2005.
(b) Interest.
The
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, from time to time outstanding, shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to seven percent (7%). All accrued
interest on the Notes shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All
interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis
of
a 360-day year and shall compound annually. From and after the occurrence
of an
Event of Default, the unpaid principal balance of the Notes and, to the extent
permitted by law, the overdue interest thereon, shall bear interest at a
rate
per annum equal to ten percent (10%).
(c) Payment;
Usury.
(i) All
payments by the Company under this Agreement shall be made in United States
dollars without set-off or counterclaim and be free and clear and without
any
deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatever, unless
the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law. The
Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives presentment for
payment, protest and demand, and notice of protest, demand and/or dishonor
and
nonpayment of the Notes, notice of any Event of Default, and all other notices
or demands otherwise required by law that the Company may lawfully waive.
If any
day on which a payment is due pursuant to the terms of this Note is not a
day on
which banks in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are generally open (a
“Business
Day”),
such
payment shall be due on the next Business Day following, and such extension
of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest
due.
(ii) For
so
long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of any
stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in
force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement;
and
the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not,
by
resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Purchasers, but will suffer and permit the execution
of
every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
(iii) Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Notes which may be to the contrary, in no event,
contingency, or circumstances whatsoever shall the interest or any amount
deemed
to be interest payable by the Company hereunder with respect to the Notes
exceed
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and, to the extent that any
payments in excess of such permitted amount are finally determined to have
been
received by the Purchasers, such excess shall be considered payments in respect
of the principal of the Notes and, if the principal of the Notes has been
paid
in full, shall be refunded to the Company.
(d) Security.
The
Notes shall be secured by and entitled to the benefits of the Security
Agreement.
6. Use
of
Proceeds.
The
Company shall use (and shall cause it subsidiaries (including the Guarantor)
to
use) the proceeds from the sale of the Notes solely to fund expenditures
of the
Company directly attributable to the operation of the Business (as defined
in
the Letter of Intent) in the ordinary course.
7. Priority.
The
Notes shall be senior in all respects (including the right of payment) to
all
other indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantor, now existing or hereafter
incurred. All other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or the
Guarantor, now existing or hereafter incurred, shall be unsecured (other
than
the Laurus Debt (defined below)) and shall be subordinated to the Notes pursuant
to the Subordination Agreement.
8. No
Prepayment.
The
Notes may not be prepaid by the Company.
9. Representations
and Warranties of the Company.
The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers that as of the Closing
Date and the date of each Subsequent Installment (a “Subsequent
Installment Date”):
(a) The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Guarantor is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each of the Company and the Guarantor is duly
licensed or qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation and is
in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
transacted by it or the character of the properties owned or leased by it
requires such licensing or qualification.
(b) The
Bridge Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
each
of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent a party thereto) and constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor
(to
the extent a party thereto), enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms.
(c) Neither
the execution and delivery of the Bridge Loan Documents nor the performance
thereof has constituted or resulted in, nor will constitute or result in,
a
default or violation in any respect of any law or regulation applicable to
the
Company or the Guarantor or any term or provision of the organizational
documents (including charter and by-laws) of the Company or the Guarantor,
or
any agreement or instrument by which either the Company or the Guarantor
is
bound or to which their properties or assets are subject.
(d) No
authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or filing or
registration with, any court or governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, is or will be necessary for, or in connection
with, the offer, issuance, sale, execution or delivery by the Company or
the
Guarantor of, or for the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of
their
obligations under, the Bridge Loan Documents.
(e) There
is
no litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation pending or, to
the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or the Guarantor
or
affecting any of their properties or assets, nor has there occurred any event
or
does there exist any condition on the basis of which any litigation, proceeding
or investigation might properly be instituted, that would prevent, restrict
or
impair the transactions contemplated by the Bridge Loan Documents or the
performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their obligations under the
Bridge Loan Documents.
(f) No
person
has or will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Bridge
Loan Documents, any right, interest or valid claim against or upon the Company
for any commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker because
of
any act or omission by the Company or any agent of the Company.
(g) Other
than indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company payable to Laurus pursuant
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2004,
between the Company and Laurus (the “Laurus

there
is no other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or the
Guarantor.

the Company and the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, as long as

of its

stockholders or members of their immediate families directly or indirectly
holds
five percent (5%) or more of any class of capital stock except in the ordinary
course of business and on terms not less favorable to the Company or the
subsidiary than it would obtain in a transaction between unrelated parties;
or
(f) Amend
or
modify any of the terms of any of the agreements or instruments relating
to any
indebtedness for money borrowed; provided, however, that the terms of the
agreements and instruments relating to the Laurus Debt may be amended and
