Corporation ("Zycad") and Halifax Fund, L.P., Capital Ventures Intn'l, Heracles
Fund, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (collectively "Investors").
WHEREAS, Investors participated in a $5 million Debenture financing with
Zycad in February 13, 1997, of which $3.5 million was funded on or about
February 14, 1997 and $1.5 million will be funded when the S-3 for the
underlying common stock is effective and registered with the SEC (the
"Debentures"), and
WHEREAS, the Investors and Zycad are desirous of converting the Debentures
to Preferred Stock with essentially the same terms and conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:
1. Zycad and the Investors agree to convert the Debentures into $5
million Series A Preferred Stock of Zycad, convertible into Zycad
Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions as the Debentures.
The Preferred Stock would have the same economic and financial terms
as the Debentures and the other terms and conditions shall be
essentially the same as the Debentures, and shall otherwise be
acceptable to each subscriber and its representatives, in their sole
discretion.
2. Zycad agrees not to issue any convertible instrument which would be
senior to the Preferred Stock being issued under this Agreement.
3. In the event the Common Stock of the Company trades at a closing price
below $1.25 for more than five (5) consecutive trading days, Zycad
agrees to seek shareholder approval for additional shares of common
stock to be reserved for conversion of the Preferred Stock.
4. Zycad agrees to have its counsel, Wilson, Sonsini, Xxxxxxxx and
Xxxxxx, draft the documents necessary to complete the conversion of
the Debentures into Series A Preferred Stock and shall pay for the
attorneys fees of the attorney(s) representing the Investors for the
document. Investors will use their best efforts minimize attorney's
fees.
