CREDIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 4
THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Credit Agreement”) is entered into as of February 1, 2008 between MICROMED CARDIOVASCULAR, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and E-XXXXXX LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Lender”).
(1) Commitment. Lender hereby agrees to make loans (each an “Advance”) to Borrower, subject to the conditions stated in Section 2 hereof, up to an aggregate principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), which shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower in five traunches on the respective “Funding Dates” as set forth in Exhibit A. The obligation of Lender to make Advances to Borrower shall terminate on April 1, 2010 (the “Funding Commitment Termination Date”); provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances following the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined). In consideration of Lender’s commitment to loan up to aggregate principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) to Borrower, simultaneously with the funding of the initial Advance under this Credit Agreement, Borrower shall issue a warrant to purchase shares of Borrower’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”). Subject to receipt of stockholder approval of the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock as contemplated by Section 10(b) below, the Warrant shall be exercisable for a total of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, less the total number of shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Note (as defined below) as of the Funding Commitment Termination Date, at an exercise price of $0.02 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are referred to herein collectively as, the “Warrant Shares.”
(2) Conditions Precedent to Funding all Advances. The obligation of Lender to make each Advance shall be subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent: (a) there shall not have occurred any Event of Default, (b) except in the case of the initial Advance in the principal amount of $1,000,000, Borrower shall have amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock as contemplated by Section 10(b) of this Credit Agreement and (c) except in the case of the initial Advance in the principal amount of $1,000,000, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender the Certificate of Chief Executive Officer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, dated as of the respective Funding Date.
(3) Procedure for Funding an Advance. From and after the occurrence of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 above and prior to the Funding Commitment Termination Date, and subject to the credit limitation set forth in Section 1, Lender shall, upon each Funding Date, transfer to Borrower by wire transfer in same day funds, to the account of Borrower specified in such written notice, the amount to be loaned to Borrower on such Funding Date as set forth in Exhibit A.
(4) Principal and Interest. The outstanding principal balance of all Advances, together with all of the interest thereon and any other amounts owed, shall be due and payable in full on February 28, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”) unless earlier converted or repaid as provided herein. Commencing February 28, 2011, Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal and interest on the last business day of each month calculated based on the outstanding principal balance and interest being amortized over the remaining term of the Note. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance from the date of funding of such Advance until payment in full, at a rate of 7.5% per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law (the laws of the State of Arizona shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans), whichever is less. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as provided in Section 11 in connection with an acceleration of the Note, Borrower shall not be permitted to make any prepayments prior to February 28, 2011. After February 28, 2011, Borrower shall have the right to make prepayments at any time in reduction of the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; such payments shall be applied to amounts outstanding under the Note as provided in Section 7.
(5) Note and Schedule of Advances. Borrower’s obligation to repay the Advances shall be evidenced by, among other things, that certain unsecured convertible promissory note, dated as of even date herewith, executed and delivered by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender (the “Note”). The Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock of Borrower (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”) upon the terms provided therein. Upon the funding of the initial Advance under this Credit Agreement, Borrower shall prepare and deliver to Lender the Schedule of Advances attached hereto as Exhibit C, setting forth the information to be provided thereon. Upon any additional funding of an Advance, any repayment of an Advance (in part or in full) by Borrower, any reduction in amounts owed hereunder by conversion of the Note, and on each anniversary of the funding of an Advance until such Advance is paid in full and all funding commitments of Lender hereunder have been terminated, Borrower shall amend the Schedule of Advances to reflect such event and deliver to Lender the Schedule of Advances as so amended.
(6) Place of Payment. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, unless another place of payment shall be specified in writing by Lender.
(7) Application of Payments. Any payment made by Borrower on any Advance hereunder shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to principal.

Each of Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Credit Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations or financial condition of Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the authority or ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below).

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Borrower and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without limitation the issuance of the Note and the Warrant and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof, have been duly authorized by Borrower’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required by Borrower, its Board of Directors or its stockholders (except to the extent that stockholder approval is required in respect of the Charter Amendment). The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower. The Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies.

As of the initial Funding Date, such number of shares of Common Stock as are issuable upon exercise of the Note and the Warrant as of the initial Funding Date will have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant. Upon conversion or exercise in accordance with the Note and the Warrant, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by Borrower and the consummation by Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries is a party; (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries is bound or affected. Except as specifically contemplated by this Credit Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act, and except for the Stockholder Approval in respect of the Charter Amendment, Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.

5

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting Borrower, the Common Stock or any of Borrower’s Material Subsidiaries or any of Borrower’s or Borrower’s Material Subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, except where the same would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, and except as expressly set forth in the SEC Documents which were filed with the SEC at least five (5) days prior to the date hereof. To the knowledge of Borrower, none of the directors or officers of Borrower have been involved in securities related litigation during the past five years which was required to be disclosed in any SEC Documents other than as disclosed in any SEC Documents which was filed at least five (5) days prior to the date hereof.

Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any infringement by Borrower or its Material Subsidiaries of trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of others, except where such infringement would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge there is no claim, action or proceeding being overtly threatened against, but which has not been made or brought against, Borrower or its Material Subsidiaries regarding its trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or infringement of other intellectual property rights which could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) Insurance. Borrower and each of its Material Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of Borrower believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries are engaged.

(o) Dilutive Effect. Borrower acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes and its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants is, in each case, absolute and unconditional, following the Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 10(b)) and the filing of the amended and restated Articles of Incorporation (which Borrower shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada immediately following Stockholder Approval), regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of Borrower.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Board of Directors of Borrower, pursuant to a unanimous written consent adopted on February 1, 2008, has unanimously (i) determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of Borrower and its stockholders to adopt an amendment to Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 750,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment”), and (ii) recommended that the holders of Borrower’s Common Stock affirmatively approve the Charter Amendment and directed that such matter be submitted, if required, to Borrower’s stockholders for approval (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval” and the date such approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”). Lender hereby agrees to approve by written consent the Charter Amendment as Borrower’s majority stockholder in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. As soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the initial Funding Date, Borrower shall file with the SEC an information statement informing the remaining stockholders of Borrower of such approval of the Charter Amendment in accordance with Schedule 14C under the Exchange Act (the “Information Statement”).

The initial Lender Designees shall be nominated by the Board or its nominating committee to fill newly created vacancies created by the Board promptly following the written request of Lender and shall thereupon be appointed to the Board by written consent of Lender, as majority stockholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the election or appointment of Lender Designees shall be limited by Borrower’s compliance with applicable law and any applicable SEC or stock exchange director independence requirements.

Borrower shall at all such times exercise all authority under applicable law and use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Lender Designees to be nominated for election as Board members by the Board (or any nominating committee thereof). Borrower shall cause each Lender Designee for election to the Board to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to holders of Common Stock (including at any special meeting of stockholders held for the election of directors) and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each such Lender Designee, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such persons. In the event that any Lender Designee elected to the Board shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the vacancy resulting therefrom shall be filled by the Board with a substitute Lender Designee.
