SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CONOLOG CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to ______________________________________, _________________________________________________________ (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest or order, without demand, the sum of ___________________________ Dollars ($__________) (“Principal Amount”), with simple and unpaid interest thereon, on January 3, 2010, unless the Approval (as defined in Section 9(q) of the Subscription Agreement) is obtained upon which the Maturity Date will be extended to January 3, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid.
This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “Other Holders”) of secured convertible promissory notes (the “Other Notes”), dated of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription Agreement. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
INTEREST; AMORTIZATION
1.1. Interest Rate. Subject to Section 6.7 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) of four percent (4%). Upon receipt of either the Approval or Rejection as described in Section 9(v) of the Subscription Agreement, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum of eight percent (8%). Interest on the Principal Amount shall accrue from the date of this Note and shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing six months after the Closing Date and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Interest shall be payable in cash. However, provided the Company has timely obtained the Approval (as defined in Section 9(v) of the Subscription Agreement), if the Approval is required by applicable NASD Market Place Rules and/or Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules and provided the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) and further provided no Event of Default is continuing following a five day cure period, then interest may be payable, at the option of the Holder in cash or Common Stock at an applied conversion rate equal to the lessor of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof), or (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the ten (10) trading days preceding such interest payment date. In the event the closing bid price of the Common Stock is more than 41% premium over the Fixed Conversion Price for each of the ten (10) days preceding an interest payment date, then interest for that quarter shall accrue and be payable on the
1
Maturity Date in cash unless sooner converted into Common Stock at the election of Holder at the applied conversion rate described above. In the event the closing bid price is less than 41% premium of the Fixed Conversion Price for each of the ten (10) days preceding an interest payment date, then the Holder may elect to either be paid the interest in cash, or at the applied conversion rate described above or to accrue the interest payable for that quarter until the Maturity Date.
1.2. Repayment. The Note is repayable in full in cash on the Maturity Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the Company fails to obtain the Approval (as defined in Section 9(v) of the Subscription Agreement), fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note will be deemed satisfied.
1.3. Default Interest Rate. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within five (5) days, otherwise then from the first date of such occurrence, the annual interest rate on this Note shall (subject to Section 6.7) automatically be increased to fifteen percent (15%).
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION REPAYMENT
2.1. No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder may be paid in shares of Common Stock by the Borrower without the Holder’s consent unless (a) either (i) an effective current registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations exists, or (ii) an exemption from registration of the Common Stock is available pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (b) no Event of Default hereunder (or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default), exists and is continuing, unless such event or Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option.
2.2. Mandatory Conversion. Provided an Event of Default has not occurred, unless such Event of Default has been cured at least twenty (20) days prior to the delivery of written notice by Borrower as hereinafter described, then, commencing after the Actual Effective Date, the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal of the Note and accrued interest, thereon, into Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion, which notice must be given on the first day following a consecutive twenty (20) day trading period during which the closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market shall be more than 200% of the Conversion Price in effect at such time each day and provided during the Lookback Period, daily average trading volume is not less than $100,000. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion, which amount may not exceed in the aggregate, for all Holders who received Notes similar in term and tenure as this Note, the dollar volume of Common Stock traded on the Principal Market during the seven (7) trading days immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date. Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes who received Notes similar in term and tenure as this Note. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal and interest subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal and interest for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading
2
days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date. Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower and the Holder will be required to comply with Section 2.1 above.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1. Holder’s Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 3.2, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation at all times, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, into shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III at the rate of $0.78, but in no event greater than $1.00 per share of Common Stock (“Fixed Conversion Price”) as same may be adjusted pursuant to this Note and the Subscription Agreement. Commencing on the six months anniversary of the Closing Date, the Conversion Price shall be the lesser of the Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices for the ten trading days prior to a Conversion Date.
3.2. Conversion Limitation. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may exceed 4.99%. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 3.2 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. The Holder may allocate decide whether to convert a Note or exercise Warrants to achieve an actual 4.99% ownership position.
3.3. Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.
(a) In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and amounts being converted. The original Note is not required to be surrendered to the Borrower until all sums due under the Note have been paid. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if so required by the Borrower’s
3
transfer agent and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if the registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note is effective and the Holder has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements. In the event that Conversion Shares cannot be delivered to the Holder via DWAC, the Borrower shall deliver physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date.
3.4. Conversion Mechanics.
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article III shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price.
(b) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
X. Xxxxxx, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in
4
the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
D. Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration less than the Fixed Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.
(c) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4(b) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
3.5. Reservation. During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Xxxxxxxx agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
3.6 Issuance of Replacement Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid, provided Xxxxxx has surrendered an original Note to the Company. In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Borrower against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note.
3.7 Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding, if the Approval is required by applicable NASD Market Place Rules and/or Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, then until the Company either obtains shareholder approval of the issuance of the Securities, or an exemption from NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules as they may apply to the Shares, and an opinion from counsel reasonably acceptable to Subscriber that the issuance of the Shares will not violate NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules nor may result in a delisting of the Company’s common stock from the SmallCap, the Holder may not receive any Shares under this Note.

ARTICLE V
SECURITY INTEREST
5. Security Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay. This Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower to Holder. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder are parties (collectively, “Loan Documents”) and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law.
