CRYOCON, INC.
(A Utah Corporation)
10% Convertible Promissory Debenture Due February 1, 2003
Registered Owner: PARAGON VENTURE FUND III, LLC
Principal Amount: $1,404,437.00
Issue Date: March 15, 2000
11. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE (the "Debenture") dated as of March 15,
2000, by and between Cryocon, Inc. (the "Company"), a Utah
corporation with an address at 0000 Xxxxx 0000 Xxxx, Xxxxx, XX
00000; and Paragon Venture Fund III, LLC, an Illinois Limited
Liability Company or his assigns (the "Holder"), with an
address at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX.
12. This Debenture is issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2000 (the "Purchase
Agreement"), by and between Company and Holder. The Purchase
Agreement contains terms governing the sale of Assets to the
Company, and all provision of the Purchase Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein in full by reference. Except as otherwise
indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Debenture
have the same meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
13. The Debenture shall be converted immediately into shares of
common stock of the Company following the closing of the
merger transaction between the Company and ISO Block USA, A
Colorado Corporation. Said stock shall be issued in such sums
and amounts as has been received of the Principal Amount in
accordance with the terms of Conversion provided in Section 4
of this Agreement.
14. REDEMPTION:
(a) Redemption. If at any time after the Issue of this Debenture, an
Event of Default occurs, the Company shall redeem at the option of the
Holder of this Debenture, the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture. The "Redemption Price" is the total unpaid principal amount
at the Redemption Date.
(b) Notice of Redemption. The Holder may submit written notice of
redemption, pursuant to paragraph (a) above, to the Company not less
than (10) ten days prior to the date specified in the notice on which
such redemption is to be made (the "Redemption Date"). In the case less
than all the aggregate principal amount of the Debenture is redeemed, a
new Debenture representing the aggregate principal amount of the
unredeemed Debenture shall be issued to the Holder thereof without cost
to such Holder within two (2) business days after the surrender of this
Debenture.
(c) Redemption Payments. For each Debenture or portion thereof which is
to be redeemed hereunder, the Company shall be obligated on the
applicable Redemption Date to pay to the Holder thereof (upon surrender
by such Holder at the Company's principal office of the Debenture) the
Redemption Price in cash or in immediately available funds. If the
Company does not make the payment when due, interest will accrue on all
outstanding Debentures from and after the Redemption Date at the
Default Rate, the Conversion Price calculated pursuant to Section 4 in
connection with any subsequent conversion of this Debenture will be
reduced to $0.75 per share, and this Debenture shall be immediately
convertible notwithstanding any other restrictions on conversion.
(d) Interest After Redemption Date. If the Redemption Price of such
Debenture is paid in full to the Holder of the Debenture on the
Redemption Date, this Debenture shall not be entitled to any interest
accruing after such date and on such date, all rights of the Holder of
the Debenture shall cease, and the Debenture shall no longer be deemed
to be issued and outstanding.
15. Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of
the Debentures, at the option of the Holder thereof, the Debentures or
any portion thereof and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be
converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to
the nearest number of whole shares) of the Company's Common Stock at
the Conversion Price as defined herein (the "Conversion Shares"). The
"Conversion Price" is $1.00 per share. The total number of shares of
Common Stock into which Debenture may be converted will be determined
by dividing the unpaid principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon by the Conversion Price. No fractional shares will be
issued upon conversion. The Conversion right expires when all of the
Debentures have been paid in full, including accrued interest and costs
of collection.
In the case of any Debenture which is surrendered for conversion,
accrued and unpaid interest will be payable on such Debenture with respect to
the period ending on conversion date.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the Debentures shall
be immediately convertible notwithstanding any timing restrictions imposed
herein.
A. Exercise of Conversion Right. To exercise the conversion right, the
Holder of the Debenture shall surrender to the Company such Debentures, duly
endorsed, accompanied by written Notice of Conversion to the Company in the form
provided in this Debenture that the Holder elects to convert such Debenture, or
if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the
specified portion.
Debentures shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of surrender of such Debentures for conversion
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the
Holders of such Debentures as Holders shall cease, and the person or persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock as and
after such time.
Within two days after the conversion date, the Company, without cost to
the Holder, shall issue and deliver to Holder the converted Debenture or the
person, specified by such Holder, a certificate for the number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion registered in the name of such Holder or
such other person as shall have been specified by such Holder and all accrued
and unpaid interest on the converted Debenture or portion there upon which the
Holder does not elect to receive payment in Common Stock.
Upon Conversion of this Debenture, the Company shall take all such
actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Common Stock issuable with
respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of this Debenture in any manner that
interferes with the timely conversion of this Debenture. The Company shall
assist and cooperate with any Holder of this Debenture required to make any
governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in
connection with the conversion of this Debenture (including, without limitation,
making any filings required to be made by the Company).
The conversion rights of any Debenture subject to redemption hereunder
shall terminate on the Redemption Date for such Debenture unless the Company has
failed to pay to Holder thereof the Redemption Price of such Debenture or
portion thereof.
B. Consolidation of Company. In the case of any consolidation or merger
of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of the class
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures), or in case of any sale or transfer
to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, the Holder of each Debenture, then outstanding
shall have the right to exercise such Debenture for the purchase of the kind and
amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale, or transfer by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock which would have been issuable if the conversion of the
Debentures had occurred immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer.
5. Registration Rights. The Company, at its sole cost and expense, covenants to
register or qualify or cause to be registered or qualified by one or more
registrations or qualifications under applicable federal and state securities
laws the sale and resale by the Holder of all the Conversion Shares and all of
the additional shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to the Holder pursuant
to this Debenture, if any, (the "Registrable Securities"), and to maintain such
registrations or qualifications effective for all periods during which any
portion of any Debenture may be converted. The Company covenants to use its best
efforts to cause such registrations or qualifications to become effective as
soon after filing as possible and to remain effective for all periods during
which any portion of any Debenture may be converted. The Company covenants to
prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registrations or qualification and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registrations or
qualifications effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such registration or qualification in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Holder thereof set forth in such registration or
qualification.
6. Piggyback Registration. If Company, at any time or times proposes or is
required to register any of its Common Stock or other equity securities for
public sale for cash under the Securities Act (other than on Forms S-4 or S-8 or
successor forms thereto or any form on which the Registrable Securities are not
eligible to be registered), and any applicable state securities law, it will at
each such time or times give written notice to the Holder of its intention to do
so. Upon the written request of Holder given within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of any such notice, Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
registration of Holder's conversion shares pursuant to the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities laws; provided, that if the Piggyback
Registration involves a public offering and the underwriters thereof advise
Company in writing that in their opinion the Conversion Shares proposed to be
registered in such Piggyback Registration should be offered for sale so as not
to materially and adversely affect the price or salability of the stock being
registered by Company, then the Holders proposing to include conversion shares
in the registration statement, other than pursuant to the exercise of demand
rights or piggyback rights, shall reduce on a pro rata basis the number of
Conversion Shares to be included in the registration statement.
7. Holder's Investment Representation. Holder understands that the purchase and
sale of the subject Debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act
or applicable state securities laws on the basis that the purchase and sale of
the Dentures are exempt from such registration under the Securities Act and
Securities Laws based in part upon the representations made herein. Holder,
thereby, represents that he does not intend to resell or otherwise dispose of
the shares being purchased and sold hereby. Holder, further represents that he
is acquiring the Debentures for investment purposes only and for his own
account, not on behalf of others, and not with a view to resell or otherwise to
distribute the purchased shares, and the Holder will not sell or otherwise
distribute the purchased shares without registration under the Securities Act
and applicable Securities Laws or pursuant to applicable exceptions therefrom.
The Holder represents that he will not attempt to sell or otherwise
distribute his Debentures, except in compliance with the anti-fraud,
registration and any of the material provisions of the Securities Act and
applicable Securities Law.
A legend will be placed on the certificate evidencing the Debenture to
the effect that such shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or
applicable Securities Laws and that the Purchased Shares may not be resold
unless they are registered under the Securities Act and Securities Laws or
pursuant to applicable exemptions therefrom.
8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Company hereby represents,
warrants and covenants as follows:
A. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but
unissued Common Stock or out of the Common Stock held in treasury, the full
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the
conversion of all issued and outstanding Debentures.
B. Covenant as to Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares
of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Debentures, including

charges that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of

remedies hereunder of Holders.
