AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of this 3rd day of July, 2000,
by and between the Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Trust (a living trust dated June 9, 1999),
with a mailing address of X.X. Xxx 00000, Xxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 ("GUARANTOR") and
Sunrise Technologies International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and
between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank ("LENDER"), dated as of June 29,
2000 (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), Lender has agreed to loan to the Company, from time
to time, pursuant to a revolving credit line (as more fully described in the
Loan Agreement) an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 (the "LOAN"). The Loan
Agreement and all other documents or instruments which are executed and/or
delivered to Lender as additional evidence of or security for repayment of the
Loan, including, without limitation, a guaranty from Guarantor to Lender
relating to the Loan, whether now or hereafter existing, and all renewals,
amendments, extensions and modifications thereof and thereto, are hereinafter
sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS");
WHEREAS, as compensation for Guarantor guaranteeing the payment of the
principal and interest and any other sums provided in the Loan Documents and the
performance by the Company of all of the covenants on its part to be performed
and observed pursuant to the provisions thereof, the Company agrees to pay to
Guarantor the Compensation (as defined herein) on the terms and conditions as
provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and
promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
1. GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby (i) agrees to guaranty the full and prompt payment
to Lender at all times as required by the Loan Documents, any and all
indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of every kind and nature of the
Company under the Loan Documents ("GUARANTY"), and (ii) agrees to enter into a
guaranty and any and all other certificates, documents or agreements as required
by Lender in connection with the Guaranty.
2. COMPENSATION TO GUARANTOR. As compensation for making the Guaranty, the
Company hereby agrees to issue and grant to Guarantor in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, and Guarantor agrees to accept in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, a Warrant (as
defined herein) to purchase the following number of shares of common stock of
the Company ("COMMON STOCK"):
(a) Twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of common stock of the Company
("COMMON STOCK") whether or not the Company draws any funds on the Loan
(the "NON-DRAW COMPENSATION").
2
(b) That number equal to 0.000195 shares, per one dollar ($1.00) drawn
on the Loan by the Company, per day, for each day such drawn funds
remain outstanding under the Loan (collectively, the "RISK
COMPENSATION").
(c) Twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of Common Stock per one million
dollars ($1,000,000) drawn on the Loan by the Company up to seven
million dollars ($7,000,000) of draws upon the Loan (collectively, the
"ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION"), on a prorated basis. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant as a part of the
Additional Compensation will be credited against the calculation of the
number of shares of Common Stock issued for draws in excess of seven
million dollars ($7,000,000), if and when such draws occur.
(d) That number equal to 0.000289 shares, per one dollar ($1.00) drawn
on the Loan by the Company in excess of seven million dollars
($7,000,000), per day, for each day such drawn funds remain outstanding
under the Loan (collectively, the "OPPORTUNITY COST COMPENSATION"). The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
as part of the Opportunity Cost Compensation are subject to decrease,
based upon the calculation of the Additional Compensation.
(e) As used in this Agreement, "WARRANT" shall mean that certain Master
Warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00
per share, for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance of
such Warrant. The Warrant shall be exercisable as to any part of the
Compensation at any one time and from time to time at the election of
Guarantor (provided that at any such time of exercise, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are to be
calculated in accordance with this Section 2). A form of the Warrant is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(f) As used in this Agreement, "COMPENSATION" shall mean, collectively,
the (i) Non-Draw Compensation, (ii) Risk Compensation, (iii) Additional
Compensation, and (iv) Opportunity Cost Compensation.
3. DEFAULT OF THE COMPANY UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. Upon an event of default
under the Loan Documents by the Company, which default remains uncured and
results in the Lender calling upon Guarantor to make payment on behalf of the
Company under Guarantor's guaranty to the Lender ("EVENT OF DEFAULT"),
Guarantor, at its election and in its sole discretion (which election shall be
made in writing in accordance with Section 8), shall assume all of the Lender's
rights under the Loan Documents, pursuant to the Loan Documents. At the time of
the Event of Default, the total of all defaulted loan amounts of the Company
shall become owed to Guarantor and shall be evidenced by a secured convertible
payment-in-kind promissory note (the "NOTE") in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B.
The Note (i) shall have a term of five (5) years (beginning from the
date of issuance), (ii) shall be secured by all of the Lender's liens upon the
property and assets of the Company made in connection with or pursuant to the
Loan Documents, (iii) shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum, payable semi-annually, in cash or payment-in-kind notes, at the sole
2
3
election of the Company, (iv) shall, at the election of Guarantor, be
convertible at any time and from time to time up to the effective date of
prepayment of the Note by the Company into shares of Common Stock at the
Conversion Price (as defined herein), and (v) shall be redeemable at any time
and from time to time by the Company, upon forty-five (45) days prior written
notice (but the Guarantor shall have the right to convert the Note at any time
and from time to time during the forty-five (45) day period).
"CONVERSION PRICE" shall mean, a price equal to the average Sales Price
(as defined herein) for each day in the period beginning ten (10) days prior to
the Event of Default and ending twenty (20) days after the Event of Default.
"SALES PRICE", shall mean, for each day, the last reported sales price
of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ, or the primary national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is then quoted; provided, however, that if
quotes for the Common Stock are not reported by NASDAQ and the Common Stock is
neither traded on the NASDAQ National Market, on a national securities exchange,
on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market nor on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, the
price referred to above shall be the price reflected in the over-the-counter
market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or any organization
performing a similar function traded on the NASDAQ National Market System.

against Guarantor before any court or any governmental, administrative,

SUNRISE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
MASTER WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
No. 200_ W__ Such Number of Shares as Provided for Herein
THIS MASTER WARRANT IS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THAT CERTAIN AGREEMENT BY AND
BETWEEN SUNRISE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND THE XXXXX X. XXXXXX TRUST
(A LIVING TRUST DATED JUNE 9, 1999) (THE "AGREEMENT"). CAPITALIZED TERMS USED
HEREIN BUT NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE DEFINITIONS ASCRIBED TO
THEM IN THE AGREEMENT.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SUNRISE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(the "COMPANY," which term includes any successor), with its principal office at
0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, hereby certifies that The
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Trust (a living trust dated June 9, 1999), with a mailing
address of X.X. Xxx 00000, Xxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 (the "HOLDER") is entitled,
subject to the provisions of this Master Warrant (the "WARRANT"), to purchase
from the Company, at any time and from time to time, before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern
Standard Time) on _______ __, 2005 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"), that number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company ("COMMON STOCK") as
currently available to the Holder, as calculated, from time to time, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, subject to adjustment
as hereinafter provided.
The Holder may purchase such number of shares of Common Stock at a
purchase price per share (as appropriately adjusted pursuant to Section 6
hereof) of $5.00 per share (the "EXERCISE PRICE"). The term "Common Stock" shall
mean the aforementioned Common Stock of the Company,
A-1
9
together with any other equity securities that may be issued by the Company in
addition thereto or in substitution therefor as provided herein.
The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the price to be paid for a share of Common Stock are subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon such exercise, as adjusted from time to time, are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as "WARRANT SHARES."
Section 1. Exercise of and Payment for Warrant. Subject to Section 3
(and in no event later than the Expiration Date), this Warrant may be exercised
on any business day on or before the Expiration Date by presentation and
surrender hereof to the secretary of the Company at its principal office at the
address set forth in the initial paragraph hereof (or at such other address as
the Company may hereafter notify the Holder in writing) with the Form of Notice
of Cash Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (if such exercise is made
pursuant to Section 1(a)), duly executed and accompanied by proper payment of
the Exercise Price, or the Form of Notice of Cashless Exercise attached hereto
as Exhibit A-2 (if such exercise is made pursuant to Section 1(b)) in one or
more of the following methods:
(a) Cashier's check acceptable to the Company, of an amount
equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock
being purchased; or
(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 1(a),
the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this
Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion
thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the form of Notice of
Cashless Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
-------
A
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant (at the date of such calculation).
A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date
of such calculation).
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
(c) For purposes of this Section 1, "FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall be
the Current Market Price on the date of exercise. If the Common Stock is
not traded on the NASDAQ National Market System or on any other
exchange, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock shall
mean the per share fair market value of the Common Stock as determined
by mutual agreement of the Company and the Holder; provided, however,
that
A-2
10
if such agreement cannot be reached within twenty (20) calendar days of
the date of exercise, such value shall be determined by an independent
appraiser appointed in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
The cost of such appraisal shall be borne by the Company.
(d) To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and
if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock is
greater than the Exercise Price, as adjusted, this Warrant shall be
deemed automatically exercised in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof
(even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For
purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share
of the Company's Common Stock upon such expiration shall be the fair
market value determined pursuant to Section 1(c) above. To the extent
this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised
pursuant to this Section 1(d), the Company agrees to notify the Holder
within a reasonable period of time of the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock, if any, the Holder is to receive by reason of
such automatic exercise.
(e) Upon receipt by the secretary of the Company of this Warrant
and such Notice of Cash Exercise or Notice of Cashless Exercise,
together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, if appropriate, at
such office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the
Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such
Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The
Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the
Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the above, no Warrant Shares will be
issued unless such issuance shall comply with all relevant provisions of
law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common
Stock may then be listed.
Section 2. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all
times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this
Warrant all shares of its Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the
Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such
shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and
other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than as provided in the
Company's certificate of incorporation and any restrictions on sale set forth
herein or pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws) and free and
clear of all preemptive rights.
Section 3. Fractional Interest. The Company will not issue a fractional
share of Common Stock upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant. Instead, the
Company will deliver its check for the current market value of the fractional
share. The current market value of a fraction of a share is determined as
follows: multiply the Current Market Price of a full share by the fraction of a
share and round the result to the nearest cent.
Section 4. Assignment or Loss of Warrant.
A-3
11
(a) This Warrant may not be transferred in any manner otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised during the lifetime of Holder only by him. The terms of this
Warrant shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs,
successors, and assigns of the Holder.
(b) Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case
of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnification satisfactory to the
Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like
tenor and date.
Section 5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof,
be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or
equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those set forth in this
Warrant. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon
the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
stockholder of the Company on any matters or with respect to any rights
whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. No dividends or interest shall be
payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby
or the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that,
this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with its terms.
Section 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number
and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If at any time after
the date hereof, the Company:
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock;
(ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares;
(iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares;
(iv) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
of its capital stock other than Common Stock; or
(v) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any
shares of its capital stock;
then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
adjusted so that the Holder may receive, upon exercise or exchange of this
Warrant and payment of the same aggregate consideration, the number of shares of
capital stock of the Company which the Holder would have
A-4
12
owned immediately following such action if the Holder had exercised or exchanged
the Warrant immediately prior to such action.
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date
in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) Deferral of Issuance or Payment. In any case in which an
event covered by this Section 6 shall require that an adjustment in the
Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date, the Company may
elect to defer until the occurrence of such event: (i) issuing to the
Holder, if this Warrant is exercised after such record date, the shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable
upon such exercise over and above the shares of Common Stock or other
capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the
basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; and (ii)
paying to the Holder by check any amount in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.
(c) When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment need be made for
a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.
(d) Current Market Price. The "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" per share
of Common Stock on any date is the average of the Quoted Prices of the
Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date in
question. The "QUOTED PRICE" of the Common Stock is the last reported
sales price of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ, or the primary
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then quoted;
provided, however, that if quotes for the Common Stock are not reported
by NASDAQ and the Common Stock is neither traded on the NASDAQ National
Market, on a national securities exchange, on the NASDAQ Small Cap
Market nor on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, the price referred to
above shall be the price reflected in the over-the-counter market as
reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or any organization
performing a similar function.
(e) No Adjustment Upon Exercise of Warrants. No adjustments
shall be made under any Section herein in connection with the issuance
of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.
(f) Common Stock Defined. Whenever reference is made in Section
6(a) to the issue of shares of Common Stock, the term "Common Stock"
shall include any equity securities of any class of the Company
hereinafter authorized which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or
percentage in respect of the right of the holders thereof to participate
in dividends or distributions of assets upon the voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, however, shares issuable
upon exercise hereof shall include only shares of the class designated
as Common Stock of the Company as of the date hereof or shares of any
class or classes
A-5
13
resulting from any reclassification or reclassifications thereof or as a
result of any corporate reorganization as provided for in Section 8
hereof.
Section 7. Officers' Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 6, the Company shall forthwith
file in the custody of its secretary or an assistant secretary at its principal
office an officers' certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined
as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officers'
certificate shall be signed by the chairman, president or chief financial
officer of the Company and by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the
Company. Each such officers' certificate shall be made available at all
reasonable times for inspection by the Holder or any holder of a Warrant
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 4 hereof.
Section 8. Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In
the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of the outstanding Common Stock or other change contemplated by
Section 6(a) hereof and other than a change in the par value of the Common
Stock) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation (other than a merger in which merger the Company is the
continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in the event of any sale,
lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets
of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall
use its best efforts to cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder
shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock that might have been received upon exercise or exchange
of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital
reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such
provision shall include provisions for adjustments in respect of such shares of
stock and other securities and property that shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER: ____________________________________________
COMPANY: SUNRISE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
SECURITY: COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT: ____________ SHARES
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, I, the
Purchaser, represent to the Company the following:
(a) I am aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition, and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach
an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am
purchasing these Securities for my own account for investment purposes only and
not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution"
thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act")
(b) I understand that the Securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, I understand that, in
the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the statutory
basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated
solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for any fixed period in
the future, including but not limited to, the minimum capital gains period
specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, or until an increase or
decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year, or
any other fixed period in the future.
(c) I further understand that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless
an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, I understand
that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition,
I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted
with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are
registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for
the Company.
(d) I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under
the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer
thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances
subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires among other things: (1)
the availability of certain public information about the Company; (2) the resale
occurring not less than one year after the party has purchased, and made full
payment for, within the meaning of Rule 144, the securities to be sold; and,
A-13
21
in the case of an affiliate, or a non-affiliate who has held the securities less
than two years; and (3) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
"broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said
term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and the amount of
securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the specified
limitations stated therein, if applicable.
(e) I agree, in connection with a public offering of the Company's
securities, (1) not to sell, make short sale of, loan, grant any options for the
purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company
held by me (other than those shares included in the registration) without the
prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such
underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for one hundred eighty
(180) days from the effective date of such registration, and (2) I further agree
to execute any agreement reflecting (1) above as may be requested by the
underwriters at the time of the public offering; provided however that the
officers and directors of the Company who own the stock of the Company also
agree to such restrictions.
(f) I further understand that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities
Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be
required; the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing
to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and
otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or
sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in
such transactions do so at their own risk.

10% CONVERTIBLE SECURED PAY-IN-KIND NOTE DUE 200_
$_______ ______ __, 2000
THIS NOTE IS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THAT CERTAIN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN
SUNRISE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND THE XXXXX X. XXXXXX TRUST (A LIVING
TRUST DATED JUNE 9, 1999) (THE "AGREEMENT"). CAPITALIZED TERMS USED HEREIN BUT
NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE DEFINITIONS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE
AGREEMENT.
(i) Principal and Interest. SUNRISE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY," which term includes any successor), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of The Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Trust
(a living trust dated June 9, 1999), or any successor in interest registered on
the books of the Company (the "HOLDER") in lawful money of the United States at
the address of the Holder as then shown on the books of the Company, the
principal sum of ________________($________) on______, 200_ (the "MATURITY
DATE") (unless earlier converted into shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined) as described in Section 2), together with simple interest from the date
hereof, computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in
arrears from the date of original issuance hereof through the Maturity Date
(unless earlier converted into shares of Common Stock) (the "INTEREST") to
Holder of record of the Note on the Maturity Date, at the rate set forth in the
following paragraph until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment.
The interest rate on this Note will be 10% per annum from the date of
original issuance. On June 30 and December 31 of each year (each an "INTEREST
PAYMENT DATE") through the Maturity Date, the Company may, at its option and in
its sole discretion, in lieu of the payment in whole or in part of interest in
cash on this Note, pay interest on this Note through the issuance of additional
B-1
24
notes ("SECONDARY NOTES") in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount
of interest that would be payable with respect to this Note, if such interest
were paid in cash. On the Interest Payment Date, the Company shall have
authenticated the Secondary Notes for original issuance to each Holder on the
record date in the aggregate principal amount required to pay such interest. The
Secondary Notes will mature on the Maturity Date, will bear interest and have
interest paying features identical to this Note, and will have the identical
right to convert into shares of common stock of the Company ("COMMON STOCK") as
this Note. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph to the
contrary, the Company may pay the interest in cash in lieu of issuing Secondary
Notes in any denomination of less than $500, which shall be determined with
respect to the aggregate amount of Notes held by the Holder as shown by the
records of the Company.
Except as previously provided herein, the terms "Note" or "Notes" shall
include all Secondary Notes that may be issued hereunder,
Upon payment in full of all principal and interest payable hereunder or
conversion as provided in Section 2, this Note shall be surrendered to the
Company for cancellation.
(ii) Conversion.
(a) Holder's Option to Convert. Subject to and upon compliance with
the provisions of Section 2 and Section 3, the Holder may, at any time and from
time to time before the Effective Date of Redemption (as defined herein),
convert the principal amount of this Note into shares of the Common Stock at the
Conversion Price (as defined in the Agreement) appropriately adjusted for any
combination, consolidation, stock split or other recapitalization.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any Holder of this Note shall be
entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender
this Note, or the applicable portion, at the office of the Company or of any
transfer or conversion agent for this Note and shall deliver the conversion
notice available from the Company (the "CONVERSION NOTICE") to the Company
(which shall be irrevocable) at such office that he elects to convert the same
(except that no such Conversion Notice shall be necessary in the event of an
automatic conversion pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof). If so required by the
Company, this Note and the Conversion Notice shall also be accompanied by proper
assignments thereof to the Company or in blank for transfer. The Company shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the registered address
of the Holder: (i) certificate(s) for the number of full shares of Common Stock
to which the Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid; and (ii) a check or cash in
respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of such surrender of this Note to be
converted (except that in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof) and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as
the record holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(c) Reclassification. etc. If the Company at any time shall, by
subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change
any of the securities into which this Note is convertible into the same or a
different number of securities of any class or classes, the
B-2
25
shares of Common Stock or other securities into which this Note is convertible
shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of the Company or otherwise to which the Holder
would have been entitled if immediately prior to such change the Holder had
acquired the shares of Common Stock or other securities into which this Note is
convertible. If shares of the Company's Common Stock or other securities
purchasable hereunder are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Price under this Note shall be proportionately
reduced in case of subdivision of shares or proportionately increased in the
case of combination of shares, No adjustment on account of cash dividends or
interest on the Company's Common Stock or other securities into which this Note
is convertible will be made to the Conversion Price under this Note.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the securities
issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price for the shares,
and/or any increase or decrease in the number- of shares into which this Note is
convertible upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall give written notice
thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the
address of the Holder as then shown on the books of the Company.
(e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any
fractional shares to which the Holder of this Note would otherwise be entitled,
the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market
value of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, whose determination shall be conclusive.
(f) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
this Note, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
be sufficient to effect the conversion in full of this Note; and if at any time
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion in full of this Note, the Company will take
such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(g) No Rights as Stockholder. This Note does not entitle the Holder
to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to
the conversion hereof.
(iii) Redemption by Company
(a) The Company shall have the right, at any time and provided the
Company is not in material violation of any of its obligation under this Note,
to redeem all or any portion of this Note for a price equal to the designated
principal amount, together with unpaid interest less any allowed prepayments
(the "REDEMPTION AMOUNT").
(b) The Company shall effect such redemption under this Section 3 by
giving at least forty-five (45) days prior written notice of the date which such
redemption is to become effective (the "EFFECTIVE DATE OF REDEMPTION") to the
Holder.
B-3
26
(c) The Redemption Amount shall be paid to the Holder within three
(3) days of the Effective Date of Redemption.
(d) The giving of the notice of redemption by the Company shall not
in any way affect or abrogate Holder's right to convert this Note (in accordance
with Section 2) at any time before the Effective Date of Redemption.
(iv) Place of Payment. All payments due to the Holder hereunder shall be
paid to the Holder at the address which the Holder shall have given written
notice to the Company.
(v) Events of Default and Remedies. If any of the following events of
default (individually, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT") shall occur for any reason
whatsoever (and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or occur or be
affected by operation of law or otherwise):
(a) The Company fails to make payment when due of any principal or
interest payable under this Note, and such failure continues for a period of ten
(10) days after written notice that such payment is due and unpaid;
(b) The Company defaults in the observance or performance of any
material agreement or condition under this Note, and such default continues for
a period of 30 days after written notice of such default is given to the Company
by the Holder,
(c) The Company shall default under any material agreement for
borrowed money which causes the other party thereto to accelerate such
obligation;
(d) The Company shall: (i) file, or consent by answer or otherwise
to the filing against it of a petition for relief or reorganization or
arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or insolvency law of any
jurisdiction; (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii)
consent to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer
with similar powers of itself or of any substantial part of its property; (iv)
be adjudicated insolvent or be liquidated; or (v) take appropriate action for
the purpose of any of the foregoing; or
(e) A court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction
shall enter an order appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer
with similar powers with respect to the Company or any substantial amount of its
properties, or if an order for relief with respect to the Company shall be
entered in any case or proceeding for liquidation or reorganization or otherwise
to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or
ordering the dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Company, or if any
petition for any such relief shall be filed against the Company, and such order
or petition shall not be dismissed or stayed within 70 days after the date of
such filing;
then, in all cases set forth in clauses (a) through and including (e),
automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default the entire unpaid
principal amount of, and the unpaid accrued interest on, this Note shall become
immediately due and payable,
B-4
27
(vi) Additional Remedies. If any Event of Default hereunder shall have
occurred, the Holder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this
Note by exercising such remedies as are available to it in respect thereof under
the terms of this Note or applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action
at law, or both, whether for specific performance of any agreement contained in
this Note or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Note. No remedy
is intended to be exclusive and each such remedy shall be cumulative.
(vii) Transfer.
(a) The transfer of this Note is registrable by the Holder hereof in
person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the
Company. Upon surrender and cancellation of this Note or Notes upon any such
transfer, a new Note for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to
the transferee in exchange herefor.
(b) The Company and any transfer or conversion agent may deem and
treat the person in whose name this Note shall be registered upon the books of
the Company as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not his Note shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon)
for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor any transfer or conversion
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments shall
be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability on this Note to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid. All transfer taxes incurred by the Holder
and costs associated with converting this Note into shares of Common Stock shall
be borne by the Company.
(viii) Attorneys Fees. Should any legal action be brought to collect,
enforce or interpret any part of this Note or if this Note is placed in the
hands of attorneys for collection after an Event of Default, the Company agrees
to pay, in addition to the principal and interest payable hereunder, reasonable
attorneys' fees, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, fees,
expenses and costs on any appeal) incurred by the Holder.
(ix) Notices. All notices, reports and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be made in accordance with the Agreement.
(x) Amendments, Consents and Waivers. This Note may be amended at any
time and from time to time to add to, eliminate or modify the terms and
provisions hereof and the rights of the Holder hereunder with the written
consent of the Company and the Holder. Any amendment, waiver or consent by the
Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and any
future Holder of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange or substitution
herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such amendment, waiver
or consent is made upon this Note or such exchanged or substituted Note. The
Company hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand of payment, notice
of protest, dishonor and nonpayment, and waives the legal effect of Holder's
failure to give all notices not expressly provided for herein. No delay on the
part of the Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
of such right or any other right. The Company further waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation
as a defense to any demand on this Note, or on an agreement hereafter securing
this Note.
B-5
28
(xi) Payment Due on Holidays. If the principal of or interest on this
Note falls due on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday at the place of payment,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended
time shall be included in computing interest.
(xii) Severability. If any provision of this Note shall be held invalid
under any applicable laws, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Note that can be given effect without the invalid provision and, to this
end, the provisions hereof are severable.
(xiii) Usury Laws. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform
strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the term
of this Note. Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be
usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of
America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable),
then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, it
is agreed that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest
under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under this Note
or otherwise in connection with this Note shall under no circumstances exceed
the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall
be credited to the Company by the Holder (or if such consideration shall have
been paid in full, such excess refunded to the Company by the Holder).
(xiv) Governing Law. This Note is being delivered in and shall be
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California,
without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
(xv) Additional Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Holder shall have such additional rights as provided to the
holders of the Common Stock in the Articles as if such Holder had fully
converted this Note on the date such additional rights are triggered.
