authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as
defined herein) and to purchase the Note and Warrants being sold to it hereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by

and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of such Subscriber, enforceable against
Subscriber in accordance with the terms thereof.
3
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Subscriber of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a
violation of such Subscriber’s charter documents, bylaws or other organizational documents, if
applicable; (ii) conflict with nor constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse
of time or both would become a default) under any agreement to which such Subscriber is a
party; nor (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment
or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Subscriber or its properties
(except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the

obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any
court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents nor to purchase the
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the
representation made in this sentence, such Subscriber is assuming and relying upon the accuracy
of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.
(d) Information on Company. Such Subscriber has been furnished with or has had
access at the XXXXX Website of the Commission to the Company’s audited financial statements for
the period ended December 31, 2009 filed on March 31, 2010, and unaudited financial statements
for the periods ended March 31, 2010 (filed on May 11, 2010) and June 30, 2010 (filed on August
16, 2010) and all periodic reports and other information about the Company on such XXXXX
Website (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Reports”). Such financial statements
were prepared pursuant to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States applied
on a consistent basis (“GAAP”) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any, as of and for the dates
thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject to
normal, immaterial adjustments. In addition, such Subscriber may have received in writing from
the Company such other information concerning its operations, financial condition and other
matters as such Subscriber has requested in writing, identified thereon as OTHER WRITTEN
INFORMATION (such other information is collectively, the “Other Written Information”), and
considered all factors such Subscriber deems material in deciding on the advisability of
investing in the Securities. In addition to the representations and warranties made by the
Subscriber as set forth in the Subscription Agreement, Subscriber further represents and
warrants to the Company and Placement Agent that it understands and acknowledges the following
risks associated with the Company and its securities:
• An original issue discount related to the Notes and Warrants may have an adverse tax
implication for you;
• The Company may not have sufficient resources to pay back the Notes upon their
maturity date;
• The Company’s management owns or controls a significant number of the outstanding
shares of the Company’s common stock and common stock equivalents, and will continue to have
significant ownership of the Company’s voting securities for the foreseeable future;
• Trading in the Common Stock has been of limited volume, so investors may not be able
to sell as many of their Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares as they want at prevailing prices;
• Neither the Notes, Conversion Shares, Warrants nor Warrant Shares have been registered
under the Act and are subject to restrictions on transferability;
4
• The future issuance of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares could adversely
affect the market price for its shares; and
• The Company’s need for the continued sale of equity securities will dilute
existing stockholders and may adversely affect the market price for the Common Stock.
(e) Information on Subscriber. Such Subscriber is, and will be at the time of
the conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, an “accredited investor,” as such
term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and
amended by the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, is experienced in
investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has
purchased securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in the
past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and
other business matters as to enable such Subscriber to utilize the information made available
by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision
with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. Such
Subscriber has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the
Securities. Such Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite
period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The information set forth on the signature page
hereto regarding such Subscriber is accurate.
(f) Purchase of Notes and Warrants. On the Closing Date, such Subscriber will
purchase the Note and Warrants as principal for its own account for investment only and not
with a view toward, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or any distribution
thereof.
(g) Compliance with Securities Act. Such Subscriber understands and agrees that
the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require
registration under the Securities Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Subscriber contained herein), and that such Securities must be held
indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration. In any event, and
subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Subscriber may enter into lawful
hedging transactions in the course of hedging the position they assume and the Subscriber may
also enter into lawful short positions or other derivative transactions relating to the
Securities, or interests in the Securities, and deliver the Securities, or interests in the
Securities, to close out their short or other positions or otherwise settle other transactions,
or loan or pledge the Securities, or interests in the Securities, to third parties who in turn
may dispose of these Securities.

on Schedule 4(d). There are no outstanding first refusal, preemptive or similar rights
affecting the Company’s Common Stock or equity. The Company has not issued any
capital stock since its most recently filed Report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options
under the Company’s stock option plans or the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees
pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans or as set forth in such Reports or on

any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the
Company, or any of its Affiliates is a party except the violation, conflict, breach, or default
of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect; or

execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance by the Company of
its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is
no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having
jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates
which litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither

solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities
Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
(o) Material Changes; Undisclosed Liabilities. Since the date of the latest
audited financial statements included within the Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a
subsequent Report filed prior to the date hereof or as set forth on Schedule 4(o): (i)
there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any
liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses
incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities
not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or
disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of
accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or

to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans.
The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment
of information.
(p) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since December 31, 2009, except as
disclosed in the Reports, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the
Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition, that, under
applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the
date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed in the
Reports.
(q) Dilution. The Company’s executive officers and directors understand the
nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities
will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Company’s
equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of directors of the Company has
concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the
best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares upon exercise
of the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such
issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties
entitled to receive equity of the Company.
(r) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of
any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise between the
Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and presently employed by the Company,
including but not limited to disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and
lawyers, nor have there been any such disagreements during the two years prior to the Closing
Date.
(s) Investment Company. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company is
an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
11
(t) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the
Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or
indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful
expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to
foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to
disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its
behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any
material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
(u) Reporting Company/Shell Company. The Company is a publicly-held company
subject to reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and has a class of Common Stock registered pursuant to Section
12(g) of the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Act, the Company has
timely filed all reports and other materials required to be filed thereunder with the
Commission during the preceding two years. As of their respective dates, the Reports complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as
applicable. The financial statements of the Company included in the Reports comply in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the
Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as may be otherwise specified in such
financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may
not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates
thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in
the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. Any
changes to the financial statements included in the Reports resulting from the pending review
of the Reports by the Commission will not individually, or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect on the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of
the dates thereof as well as the results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries for the period then ended. As of the Closing Date, the Company is
not a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
(v) Listing. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of
the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is
likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the
Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the Bulletin Board
under the symbol VCRT. The Company has not received within the past twelve months any pending
oral or written notice that its Common Stock is not eligible nor will become ineligible for
quotation on the Bulletin Board nor that its Common Stock does not meet all requirements for
the continuation of such quotation. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will
not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and
maintenance requirements.
(w) DTC and DWAC Status. The Company’s transfer agent is a participant in, and
the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
Automated Securities Transfer Program and DTC’s Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system
(“DWAC”). The name, address, telephone number, fax number, contact person and email address of
the Company transfer agent is set forth on Schedule 4(w) hereto.
(x) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the
Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company, which could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s employees
is a member of a
12
union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company, and the
Company is not a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes its
relationships with its employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the
Company, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition
agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any
third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject
the Company to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company is in
compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,
except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(y) Regulatory Permits. The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations
and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities
necessary to conduct its business as described in the Reports, except where the failure to
possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(“Material Permits”), and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to
the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(z) Title to Assets. The Company has good and marketable title in fee simple to
all real property owned by it and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by
it that is material to the business of the Company, in each case free and clear of all Liens
(as defined herein), except for Liens which do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by
the Company and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is
neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property, facilities and personal
property held under lease by the Company is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases with which the Company is in compliance.
(aa) Patents and Trademarks. The Company has, or has rights to use, all patents,
patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade
secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar
rights as described in the Reports as necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). The Company has not received a notice
(written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company
violates or infringes upon the rights of any person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such
Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another
person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its intellectual
properties where appropriate to do so, except where failure to do so could not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(bb) Insurance. The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary
in the business in which the Company is engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and
officers insurance coverage. The Company does not have any reason to believe that it will not
be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a
significant increase in cost.
(cc) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the
Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of
13
the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company
(other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any
officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner, in each case in excess of $25,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or
consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of
the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option
plan of the Company.
(dd) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in material
compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 which are applicable to it as
of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company
presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of
the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no
changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(ee) Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company
has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has
paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax
deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against the Company.
(ff) FDA. As to each product subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder (“FDCA”) that is manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested, distributed,
sold, and/or marketed by the Company (each such product, a “FDA Product”), such FDA Product is
being manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested, distributed, sold and/or marketed by the Company
in compliance with all applicable requirements under FDCA and similar laws, rules and
regulations relating to registration, investigational use, premarket clearance, licensure, or
application approval, good manufacturing practices, good laboratory practices, good clinical
practices, product listing, quotas, labeling, advertising, record keeping and filing of
reports, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
There is no pending, completed or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, action (including
any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge,
complaint, or investigation) against the Company, and the Company has not received any notice,
warning letter or other communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity, which (i)
contests the premarket clearance,
14
licensure, registration, or approval of, the uses of, the
distribution of, the manufacturing or packaging of, the testing of, the sale of, or the
labeling and promotion of any FDA Product, (ii) withdraws its approval of, requests the recall,
suspension, or seizure of, or withdraws or orders the withdrawal of advertising or sales
promotional materials relating to, any FDA Product, (iii) imposes a clinical hold on any
clinical investigation by the Company, (iv) enjoins production at any facility of the Company,
(v) enters or proposes to enter into a consent decree of permanent injunction with the Company,
or (vi) otherwise alleges any violation of any laws, rules or regulations by the Company, and
which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. The
properties, business and operations of the Company have been and are being conducted in all
material respects in
accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the FDA. The Company has
not been informed by the FDA that the FDA will prohibit the marketing, sale, license or use in
the United States of any product proposed to be developed, produced or marketed by the Company
nor has the FDA expressed any concern as to approving or clearing for marketing any product
being developed or proposed to be developed by the Company.
(gg) Stock Option Plans. Each stock option granted by the Company under the
Company’s stock option plans was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s
stock option plans and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and
applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s stock option plan has been
backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company
policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly
coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public announcement of
material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or
prospects.
(hh) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Subscribers’ representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3, no registration under the Securities Act is required for
the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Subscribers as contemplated hereby.
The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations
of the Principal Market.
(ii) Registration Rights. No person has any right to cause the Company to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company.
(jj) Seniority. As of the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against
the Company is senior to the Notes in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or
upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by purchase
money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby),
capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to the property covered thereby) and
liquidation preferences payable to holders of the Company’s preferred stock.
(kk) Acknowledgment Regarding Subscribers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that each of the Subscribers is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Subscriber is acting as a
financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any
Subscriber or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Subscribers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents that the Company’s
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its
representatives.
(ll) Company Predecessor and Subsidiaries. The Company makes each of the
representations contained in Sections 4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h), (j), (l), (o), (p), (r),
(s) (t), (y), (z), (aa),
15
(bb), (cc), (ee) and (ff) of this Agreement, as same relate or could be
applicable to each Subsidiary. All representations made by or relating to the Company of a
historical or prospective nature and all covenants described in Section 8 shall relate, apply and
refer to the Company and Subsidiaries and their predecessors and successors.
(mm) Correctness of Representations. The Company represents that the foregoing
representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof in all material
respects, and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Subscribers prior to the Closing Date,
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if
such representation or warranty is
made as of a different date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true
as of such date.
(nn) Survival. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the
Closing Date for each Subscriber until full repayment or conversion of the Subscriber’s Note.
5. Regulation D Offering/Legal Opinion. The offer and issuance of the Securities
to the Subscribers is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of
the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act and/or Rule
506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On the Closing Date, the Company will provide an
opinion reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent from the Company’s legal counsel opining
on the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act as it relates to
the offer and issuance of the Securities and other matters reasonably requested by the
Placement Agent. The Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, to the Subscribers, such
other legal opinions, if any, as are necessary in each Subscriber’s reasonable opinion and/or
the opinion of the Company’s transfer agent for the issuance and resale of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or an exemption from registration. In the event the Company does not timely
deliver such legal opinions, Subscribers may obtain a legal opinion from its own counsel, at
the Company’s expense.
6.1. Conversion of Notes.
(a) Upon the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and
expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel to
assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of a
Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in
such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than
these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common
Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the
legend set forth in Section 3(h). If and when a Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares in a
manner that complies with Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any other exemption from
registration under the Securities Act, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue
to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend at the time of sale, provided
that Subscriber delivers reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion.
(b) Each Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its
Note, interest, or part thereof by delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which
is annexed as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a) of this
Agreement. Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully
converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company
in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the
Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” The
Company will itself or cause the Company’s
16
transfer agent to transmit the Company’s Common
Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to
Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three business days after the
Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”). In the event the Conversion Shares
are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronic
transfer provided a request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber. A
Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to
Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original Note to the
Company.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the
form required pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof later than the Delivery Date could result in
economic loss to the Subscribers. As compensation to Subscribers for such loss, the
Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to each applicable
Subscriber for late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 6.1
hereof upon Conversion of the Note, the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date
for each $10,000 of Note principal amount and interest (and proportionately for other amounts)
being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered. The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section 6.1 upon demand. Furthermore, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscribers, in the event that the
Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares on or before the
Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of
Conversion by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and
Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the
delivery of such notice, except that the damages payable in connection with the Company’s
default shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the
Company. In the event the Conversion Shares are issued to the Subscriber in the form of a
physical stock certificate, the Company shall reimburse the Subscriber for any fees charged by
the Company’s transfer agent for the issuance of a stock certificate, which fees shall not be
less than $90.00 per stock certificate.
6.2. Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election. In the event (i) the Company
is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares at the time of conversion or (ii) upon the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Subsidiary, then at the
Subscriber’s election, the Company must pay to each Subscriber not later than ten (10) days
after request by such Subscriber, a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the
outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by each such Subscriber by, at Subscriber’s
election, the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest
closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the date demand is made by
Subscriber pursuant to this Section 6.2 and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable
conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any
other amounts due under the Transaction Documents (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”). The
Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by each Subscriber on the same date as the
Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) days after request, whichever is
sooner (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment,
the corresponding Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and no longer
outstanding. The Subscriber may rescind the election to receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment
at any time until such payment is actually received. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to
Section 6.1(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the
actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Subscriber shall be credited against
the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is
timely paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, Subscriber may demand and receive from the Company
the amount stated above or any other greater amount which Subscriber is entitled to receive or
demand pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
17
6.3. Maximum Conversion. A Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a
Conversion Date that amount of a Note nor may the Company make any payment including principal,
interest, or liquidated or other damages by delivery of Conversion Shares in connection with
that number of Conversion Shares which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion
Date or payment date, and (ii) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of
the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a
calculation date, which would result in beneficial ownership by Subscriber and its Affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion
Date. For the purposes of 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 Rule 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be
limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversions by the Subscriber
may exceed 4.99%. The Subscriber shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction
contained in this Section 6.3 will limit any conversion of a Note and the extent such
limitation applies and to which convertible or exercisable instrument or part thereof such
limitation applies. The Subscriber may increase the permitted beneficial ownership amount up
to 9.99% upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company. Subscriber may
allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by Subscriber shall be
included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
4.99%.
6.4. Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert
a Note or part thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that
Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with Subscriber has not complied with
Subscriber’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, except
failure to provide notice as required hereunder, unless, a final non-appealable injunction from
a court made on notice to Subscriber, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of
such Note shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a
surety bond for the benefit of Subscriber equal to the greater of (i) 125% of the outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the Note, and the aggregate purchase price of the
Conversion Shares which are sought to be subject to the injunction, or (ii) the closing price
of the Common Stock on the trading day before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by
the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, which bond shall remain
in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of
which shall be payable to Subscriber to the extent the judgment or decision is in Subscriber’s
favor.
6.5. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Subscribers, if the
Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date and if after
the Delivery Date Subscriber or a broker on Subscriber’s behalf purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
Subscriber of the Common Stock which Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay to Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to
or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) Subscriber’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion
request was not timely honored together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum,
accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall
be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Subscriber purchases
shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Note principal and/or interest, the Company shall be
required to pay Subscriber $1,000 plus interest. Subscriber shall provide the Company written
notice and evidence indicating the amounts payable to Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
18
6.6. Redemption. The Note shall not be redeemable or callable by the Company,
except as described in the Note.
7. Fees.
(a) Broker’s/Placement Agent’s Commission. The Company on the one hand, and each
Subscriber (for himself only) on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold
the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions
or similar fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the
indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
and arising out of such party’s actions. The Company represents that there are no parties
entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due
diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the Offering except as described on
Schedule 7. The Company agrees that it is solely responsible for payment of the
compensation set forth on Schedule 7. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own
actions and not for any action of any other Subscriber. The liability of the Company and each
Subscriber’s liability hereunder is several and not joint. The Company represents that to the
best of its knowledge there are no other parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, or
similar payments in connection with the Offering.
(b) Subscribers’ Legal Fees. The Company shall pay a cash fee of $25,000 (plus
out-of-pocket expenses, if any) to Ellenoff Xxxxxxxx & Schole LLP (or a cash fee of $30,000
(plus out-of-pocket expenses, if any) in the event the gross proceeds of the Offering exceed
$2,000,000) (collectively, “Legal Fees”) as reimbursement for services rendered in connection
with the transactions described in the Transaction Documents, of which $10,000 has previously
been paid.. The Legal Fees will be payable out of funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement
upon the first Closing.
8. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Subscribers as follows:
(a) Stop Orders. Subject to the prior notice requirement described in Section
8(n), the Company will advise the Subscribers, within twenty-four hours after it receives
notice of issuance by the Commission, any state securities commission or any other regulatory
authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any
securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the
Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any
such purpose. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the
sale, resale or delivery of any of the Securities, except as may be required by any applicable
federal or state securities laws and only if at least two (2) days prior notice of such
instruction is given to the Placement Agent and the Subscribers.
(b) Listing/Quotation. If applicable, the Company shall promptly secure the
quotation or listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities
exchange, or automated quotation system upon which the Company’s Common Stock is quoted or
listed and upon which such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are or become eligible for
quotation or listing (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain same so long
as any Notes and Warrants are outstanding. The Company will maintain the quotation or listing
of its Common Stock on the NYSE Amex Equities, Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market,
Nasdaq Global Select Market, Bulletin Board, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the
foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, the
“Principal Market”), and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable. Subject to
the limitation set forth in Section 8(n), the Company will provide the Placement Agent and the
19
Subscribers who hold Notes or Conversion Shares, with copies of all notices it receives
notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock from any
Principal Market. As of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Bulletin Board is
the Principal Market.
(c) Market Regulations. If required, the Company shall notify the Commission, the
Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the
legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers and promptly provide copies
thereof to the Placement Agent and the Subscribers.
(d) Filing Requirements. From the date of this Agreement and until the last to
occur of (i) all the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by
the Subscribers pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i), or (ii)
none of the Notes and Warrants are outstanding (the date of such latest occurrence being the
“End Date”), the Company will (A) cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, (B) comply in all respects with its reporting and
filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and (C) voluntarily comply with all reporting
requirements that are applicable to an issuer with a class of shares registered pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, if the Company is not subject to such reporting
requirements. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts not to take any
action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend
its reporting and filing obligations under said acts until the End Date. Until the End Date,
the Company will continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market
and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D
with respect to the Securities if required under Regulation D as well as any required state
securities filings and to provide copies thereof to the Placement Agent promptly after such
filing.
(e) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Offering will be employed by the
Company for the purposes set forth on Schedule 8(e) hereto; provided, however, that the
uses of proceeds may deviate up to ten percent (10%) from the amounts set forth in
Schedule 8(e). Except as described on Schedule 8(e), the Purchase Price may
not and will not be used for accrued and unpaid officer and director salaries, nor payment of
financing related debt nor settlement of outstanding litigation nor redemption of outstanding
notes or equity instruments of the Company outstanding on the Closing Date.
(f) Reservation. Prior to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve on
behalf of Subscribers from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscribers to be
able to convert all of the Notes (including interest that would accrue thereon through the
Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes)) based on the Conversion Price at Closing and 100% of
the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and will maintain a
sufficient reserve from its authorized but unissued Common Stock for such purposes until all
Notes are either satisfied or converted and all Warrants either expire or are exercised
(“Required Reservation”). Failure to have sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section
8(f) at any time shall be a material default of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement
and an Event of Default under the Notes. Without waiving the foregoing requirement, if at any
time Notes and Warrants are outstanding the Company has reserved on behalf of the Subscribers
less than 125% of the amount necessary for full conversion of the outstanding Note principal
and interest at the conversion price in effect on every such date and 100% of the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants as such amounts may vary or adjust from
time to time pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Warrants (“Minimum Required
Reservation”), the Company will promptly reserve the Minimum
20
Required Reservation, or if there
are insufficient authorized and available shares of Common Stock to do so, the Company will
take all action necessary to increase its authorized capital to be able to fully satisfy its
reservation requirements hereunder, including the filing of a preliminary proxy with the
Commission not later than fifteen (15) days after the first day the Company has reserved less
than the Minimum Required Reservation. The Company agrees to provide notice to the Subscribers
not later than five days after the date the Company has less than the Minimum Required
Reservation reserved on behalf of the Subscribers.
(g) DTC Program. At all times that the Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the
Company will employ as the transfer agent for the Common Stock, Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program.
(h) Taxes. From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company
will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all
lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits,
property or business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge
or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves
with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes,
assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
lien which may have attached as security therefore.
(i) Insurance. As reasonably necessary as determined by the Company, from the
date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its assets which are of an
insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage
by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by companies in the Company’s
line of business and location, in amounts and to the extent and in the manner customary for
companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and to the extent available on
commercially reasonable terms.
(j) Books and Records. From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date,
the Company will keep true records and books of account in which full, true and correct entries
will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
(k) Governmental Authorities. From the date of this Agreement and until the End
Date, the Company shall duly observe and conform in all material respects to all valid
requirements of governmental authorities relating to the conduct of its business or to its
properties or assets.
(l) Intellectual Property. From the date of this Agreement and until the End
Date, the Company shall maintain in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and
franchises and all licenses and other rights to use intellectual property owned or possessed by
it and reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business, unless it is sold for
value. Schedule 8(l) hereto identifies all of the intellectual property owned by the
Company and Subsidiaries, which schedule includes but is not limited to patents, patents
pending, patent applications, trademarks, tradenames, service marks and copyrights.
(m) Properties. From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the
Company will keep its properties in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear
and tear excepted, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals,
replacements, additions and improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with
each provision of all leases and claims to which it is a party or under which it occupies or
has rights to property if the breach of such
21
provision could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company will not abandon any of its assets except for those
assets which have negligible or marginal value or for which it is prudent to do so under the
circumstances.
(n) Confidentiality/Public Announcement. From the date of this Agreement and
until the End Date, the Company agrees that except in connection with a Form 8-K, Form 10-Q,
Form 10-K and a registration statement or statements regarding the Subscribers’ Securities or
in correspondence with the Commission regarding same, it will not disclose publicly or
privately the identity of the Subscribers unless expressly agreed to in writing by Subscribers
or only to the extent required by law. In any event and subject to the foregoing, the Company
undertakes to file a Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the Offering not later than the
fourth (4th) business day after the Closing Date. In the Form 8-K, the Company will
specifically disclose the amount of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
Closing if such amount differs in any material respect from the amount set forth in the
Company’s most recently filed Report. Upon delivery by the Company to the Subscribers after
the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing, electronically or otherwise, and
while a Note, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are held by Subscribers, unless the
Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not
constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company
shall within four (4) days after any such delivery publicly disclose such material,
nonpublic information on a Report on Form 8-K. In the event that the Company believes that a
notice or communication to Subscribers contains material, nonpublic information relating to the
Company or Subsidiaries, except as required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement,
the Company shall so indicate to Subscribers prior to delivery of such notice or information.
Subscribers will be granted five days to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to
receive such information. In the case that Subscriber elects not to receive such information,
the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers. In the absence of any such
Company indication, Subscribers shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such
notice and information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the
Company or Subsidiaries.
(o) Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that
except for the Reports, Other Written Information and schedules and exhibits to this Agreement
and the Transaction Documents, which information the Company undertakes to publicly disclose on
the Form 8-K described in Section 8(n) above, neither it nor any other person acting on its
behalf will at any time provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto
such Subscriber, its agent or counsel shall have agreed in writing to accept such information
as described in Section 8(n) above. The Company understands and confirms that the Subscribers
shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of
the Company. The Company agrees that any information known to Subscriber not already made
public by the Company may be made public and disclosed by the Subscriber.
(p) Negative Covenants. So long as a Note is outstanding, without the consent of
the Subscribers, the Company will not and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to directly
or indirectly:
(i) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any pledge, hypothecation, assignment,
deposit arrangement, lien, charge, claim, security interest, security title, mortgage, security
deed or deed of trust, easement or encumbrance, or preference, priority or other security
agreement or preferential arrangement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including any lease or
title retention agreement, any financing lease having substantially the same economic effect as
any of the foregoing, and the filing of, or agreement to give, any financing statement
perfecting a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or comparable law of any
jurisdiction) (each, a “Lien”) upon any of its property,
22
whether now owned or hereafter
acquired except for (a) Liens imposed by law for taxes that are not yet due or are being
contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles; (b) carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanic’s,
material men’s, repairmen’s and other like Liens imposed by law, arising in the ordinary course
of business and securing obligations that are not overdue by more than 30 days or that are
being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; (c) pledges and deposits made in
the ordinary course of business in compliance with workers’ compensation, unemployment
insurance and other social security laws or regulations; (d) deposits to secure the performance
of bids, trade contracts, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds, performance
bonds and other obligations of a like nature, in each case in the ordinary course of business;
(e) Liens created with respect to the financing of the purchase of new property in the ordinary
course of the Company’s business up to the amount of the purchase price of such property; and
(f) easements, zoning restrictions, rights-of-way and similar encumbrances on real property
imposed by law or arising in the
ordinary course of business that do not secure any monetary obligations and do not
materially detract from the value of the affected property (each of (a) through (f), a
“Permitted Lien”);
(ii) amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or its charter documents so as to
materially and adversely affect any rights of the Subscribers (neither (a) an increase in the
amount of authorized shares of common or preferred stock nor (b) a change in designations of
preferred stock that does not in and of itself adversely affect the rights of the Subscribers,
will be deemed adverse to the rights of the Subscribers);
(iii) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire or make any
dividend or distribution in respect of any of its Common Stock, preferred stock (other than
dividends which accrue by the terms of such preferred stock or the conversion of preferred
stock into Common Stock), or other equity securities other than to the extent permitted or
required under the Transaction Documents;
(iv) engage in any transactions with any officer, director, employee or any Affiliate of
the Company, including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the
furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from,
or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each case in excess of
$25,000 other than (i) for payment of salary, or fees for services rendered, pursuant to and on
the terms of a written contract in effect at least five days prior to the Closing Date as
described in the Reports, (ii) reimbursement for authorized expenses incurred on behalf of the
Company, (iii) for other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock
option plan of the Company disclosed in the Reports, or (iv) other transactions disclosed on
the Reports; or
(v) pay or redeem any financing related debt or past due obligations or securities
outstanding as of the Closing Date, or past due obligations (except with respect to vendor
obligations, which in management’s good faith, reasonable judgment must be paid to avoid
disruption of the Company’s businesses), other than the conversion or exchange of securities
into Common Stock.
(q) Seniority. Except for Permitted Liens, until the Notes are fully satisfied
or converted, without a majority of the Subscribers’ written consent, the Company shall not
grant nor allow any security interest to be taken in any assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary or any Subsidiary’s assets; nor issue or amend any debt, equity or other instrument
which would give the holder thereof directly or indirectly, a right in any equity or assets of
the Company or any Subsidiary or any right to
23
payment superior to any right of the Subscribers as holders of the Notes in or to such
equity, assets or payment, nor issue or incur any debt not in the ordinary course of business,
other than debt convertible into equity and subordinated to the Notes.
(r) Notices. For so long as the Subscribers hold any Notes or Warrants, the
Company will maintain a United States address and United States fax number for notice purposes
under the Transaction Documents.
(s) Transactions with Insiders. So long as the Notes are outstanding without a
majority of the Subscribers consent, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries not to, enter into, materially amend, materially modify or materially supplement,
or permit any Subsidiary to enter into, materially amend, materially modify or materially
supplement, any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement relating to the sale,
transfer or assignment of any of the Company’s tangible or intangible assets with any of its
Insiders (as defined below)(or any persons who were Insiders at any time during the previous
two (2) years), or any Affiliates (as defined below) thereof, or with any individual related by
blood, marriage, or adoption to any such individual. “Affiliate” for purposes of this Section
8(s) means, with respect to any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or
indirectly, (i) has a ten percent (10%) or more equity interest in that person or entity, (ii)
has ten percent (10%) or more common ownership with that person or entity, (iii) controls that
person or entity, or (iv) shares common control with that person or entity. “Control” or
“Controls” for purposes of the Transaction Documents means that a person or entity has the
power, direct or indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or entity. For
purposes hereof, “Insiders” shall mean any officer, director or manager of the Company,
including but not limited to the Company’s president, chief executive officer, chief financial
officer and chief operations officer, and any of their affiliates or family members.
(t) Notice of Event of Default. The Company agrees to notify Subscriber of the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined and employed in the Transaction Documents) not
later than ten (10) days after any of the Company’s officers or directors becomes aware of such
Event of Default.
(u) Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to
buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the
Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner
that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or
that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Principal Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to
the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the
closing of such subsequent transaction.
(v) Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that
it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.
(w) Lockup Agreement. The Company will deliver to the Placement Agent on or

9. Covenants of the Company Regarding Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Subscribers,
the Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, counsel, Affiliates, members, managers, control
persons, and principal shareholders (each, a “Subscriber Party”), against any claim, cost,
expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature,
incurred by or imposed upon the Subscribers or any such person which results, arises out of or
is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Company or breach of any representation or
warranty by Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto in any
Transaction Document, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith,
now or after the date hereof; (ii) any action instituted against a Subscriber Party or their
affiliates by any stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (iii) after any applicable notice and/or cure
periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to
be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and
Subscribers relating hereto.
(b) If any action shall be brought against any Subscriber Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber Party shall promptly notify
the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with
counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Subscriber Party. Any Subscriber
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Subscriber Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of
time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position
of the Company and the position of such Subscriber Party, in which case the Company shall be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.
The Company will not be liable to any Subscriber Party under this Agreement (y) for any
settlement by a Subscriber Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent
that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Subscriber Party’s breach of any
of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Subscriber Party in
this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
(c) In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or permitted successor hereunder or
under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber or
successor upon the sale of Registrable Securities (as defined herein).
10.1. Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.
(a) Transfer Restrictions. The Securities may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. Subscriber agrees that it will sell
the Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that
if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein. Subscriber acknowledges that the removal of
the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section
10.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
(b) Delivery of Unlegended Shares. Within five days (such fifth day being the
“Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice
that Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) a representation that the requirements of Rule 144, if
required, have been
25
satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary
representation letters of the Subscriber and, if required,
Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at
its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to
deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and
opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends
including the legend set forth in Section 3(h) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause
the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a
legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if
any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by
electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the
Unlegended Shares, upon request of Subscribers, so long as the certificates therefor do not
bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement
of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the
Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the DTC through
its DWAC system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system and provided
Subscriber’s prime broker initiates the DWAC deposit for the required number of shares on the
DWAC system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(d) Late Delivery of Unlegended Shares. The Company understands that a delay in
the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof later than the Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As compensation to a
Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of
$100 per business day after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase
price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period,
the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 10.1 for an
aggregate of thirty days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to such
default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Unlegended
Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the
Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber for the Unlegended Shares that were not timely delivered,
or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock
during the aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest
conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, during such thirty day period,
multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption
Amount”). The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section 10.1 in immediately
available funds upon demand.
(e) Injunction. In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended
Shares as described in Section 10 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 10, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any
claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has not
complied with Subscriber’s obligations under the Transaction Documents (except for the
requirements under Section 10.1(b)), or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or
temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of
such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has
posted a surety bond as required, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such
Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
(f) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the
Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this
Agreement and
26
after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Subscriber, or a broker on the
Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common
stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive
from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Subscriber
(in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A)
the Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common
Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest
thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon
is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of
$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock
delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to
pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written
notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
27
10.2. 144 Default. At any time commencing six months after the Closing Date, in
the event the Subscriber is not permitted to sell any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume
limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability to Subscriber
of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act or any successor rule (a “144 Default”), for any
reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file quarterly, annual or any
other filings required to be made by the Company by the required filing dates, or the Company’s
failure to make information publicly available which would allow Subscriber’s reliance on Rule
144 in connection with sales of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, except due to a change in
current applicable securities laws or because the Subscriber is an Affiliate (as defined under
Rule 144) of the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty for each thirty days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than
thirty days) an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares subject to such 144 Default. Liquidated Damages shall not be payable
pursuant to this Section 10.2 in connection with Shares for such times as such Shares may be
sold by the holder thereof without any legend or volume or other restrictions pursuant to Rule
144(b)(1)(i) of the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

(c) Counterparts/Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which,

executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but
one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission, PDF,
electronic signature or other similar electronic means with the same force and effect as if
such signature page were an original thereof.

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of
conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the

reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any
other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the
extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute
or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being

(e) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Subscribers
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an

affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(f) Damages. In the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated
or other damages pursuant to the Transactions Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive
the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages. In the event the Subscriber is
granted rights under different sections of the Transaction Documents relating to the same
subject matter or which may be exercised contemporaneously, or pursuant to which damages or
remedies are different, Subscriber is granted the right in Subscriber’s absolute discretion to
proceed under such section as Subscriber elects.

herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment
of
a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.
In the event
29
that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges
hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum

mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time
periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were
occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on a non-business day in any of the
Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the next business day and interest, if
any, shall be calculated and payable through such extended period.
(i) Captions: Certain Definitions. The captions of the various sections and
paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such
captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify,
explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement. As used in this
Agreement the term “person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a
joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated
organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.
(j) Consent. As used in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and any
other agreement delivered in connection herewith, “Consent of the Subscribers” or similar
language means the consent of holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Principal
Amount of Notes on the date consent is requested (such Subscribers being a “Majority in
Interest”). A Majority in Interest may consent to take or forebear from any action permitted
under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, modify any Transaction Documents or
waive any default or requirement applicable to the Company, Subsidiaries or Subscribers under
the Transaction Documents provided the effect of such action does not waive any accrued
interest or damages and further provided that the relative rights of the Subscribers to each
other remains unchanged.
(k) Severability. In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall
be finally determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to
applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination shall not
impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability: (i) by or before that
authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as
if the unenforceable term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority
of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(l) Successor Laws. References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules,
regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements
of such laws, rules, regulations and forms. A successor rule to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall
include any rule that would be available to a non-Affiliate of the Company for the sale of
Common Stock not subject to volume restrictions and after a six month holding period.
(m) Maximum Liability. In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or
permitted successor hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in
connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually
received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Conversion Shares.
30
(n) Independent Nature of Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that the
obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with
the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for
the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The
Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber
to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber
and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business,
affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any
other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any
of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Subscriber (or any other
person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.
The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the
Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with
respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and
Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because Company was required
or requested to do so by the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with
respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the
transactions contemplated thereby.
(o) Equal Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents
unless the same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their
permitted successors and assigns.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, VICOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called
“Borrower” or the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [ ] (the “Holder”),
address at [ ], Fax: [ ] without demand, the sum of up to [ ] Dollars ($[ ]) (“Principal Amount”), with interest accruing thereon, on September 30, 2012 (the “Maturity
Date”), if not sooner paid or modified as permitted herein.
This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement by and among
the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “Other Holders”) of convertible promissory
notes (the “Other Notes”) issued at a Closing (the “Subscription Agreement”) for an aggregate
Principal Amount of up to $2,950,000. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, each capitalized
term used in this Note shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Interest Rate. Interest on this Note shall accrue monthly at the annual
rate of ten percent (10%). Interest will be payable commencing on the last business day of the
sixth (6th) month anniversary of the Issue Date and on the first day of each month
thereafter and on the Maturity Date, accelerated or otherwise, when the principal and remaining
accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable, or sooner as described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Holder participates in a Redemption (as defined
herein) within six months of the Issue Date, the Holder will waive the payment by the Borrower of
any accrued but unpaid interest on the Note on the portion of the Note so redeemed. Interest will
be payable in cash or Common Stock, at the election of the Company and subject to Section
2.1, with shares of Common Stock at a per share value equal to the applicable conversion price
set forth in Section 2.1(b). Interest may be paid at the Company’s election in cash or
Common Stock to the extent resellable pursuant to Rule 144 and to
36
the extent such share issuance is
not limited by transfer or volume restrictions and provided such payment in Common
Stock would not cause the Holder to exceed the restrictions on ownership set forth in
Section 2.3. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any debt
with an interest rate in excess of ten percent (10%) or preferred stock with a dividend rate in
excess of ten percent (10%) (such rate, the “Higher Rate”), the interest rate on this Note shall
automatically adjust to the Higher Rate.
1.2 Payment Grace Period. The Borrower shall not have any grace period to pay any
monetary amounts due under this Note. After the Maturity Date and during the pendency of an Event
of Default, (as defined in Article IV) a default interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum
shall be in effect.
1.3 Conversion Privileges. The Conversion Rights set forth in Article II
shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid
in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default. This Note shall be payable in full on
the Maturity Date, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article
II hereof.
1.4 Pari Passu. All payments made on this Note and the Other Notes and except as
otherwise set forth herein all actions taken by the Borrower with respect to this Note and the
Other Notes, including but not limited to mandatory conversion, shall be made and taken pari passu
with respect to this Note and the Other Notes.
1.5 Miscellaneous. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Principal and interest on this Note and other
payments in connection with this Note shall be payable at the Holder’s offices as designated above
in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds without set-off,
deduction or counterclaim. Upon assignment of the interest of Holder in this Note, Borrower shall
instead make its payment pursuant to the assignee’s instructions upon receipt of written notice
thereof.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note
into Shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set
forth below.
2.1.
Conversion into the Borrower’s Common Stock.
(a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and
then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal
portion of this Note, and accrued but unpaid interest, at the election of the Holder (the date of
giving of such notice of conversion being a “Conversion Date”) into fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of
capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified,
at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof, determined as provided herein.
Upon delivery to the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed
hereto as Exhibit A, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days
after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of shares of
Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. The Holder
will not be required to surrender the Note to the Borrower until the Note has been fully converted
or satisfied. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note
shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note and interest, if any, to
be converted, by the Conversion Price (as defined herein) then in effect.
37
(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the conversion price
(“Conversion Price”) per share shall be equal to the lesser of (i) seventy-five percent
(75%) of the average closing bid price for the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or if the
Common Stock does not trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, any similar quotation service such as the
OTCQB Market) (the “Principal Market”) for the ten trading days preceding the Issue Date, which is
equal to $[ ] per share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (ii) at any time after six months
subsequent to the Issue Date, seventy-five percent (75%) of the average of the three (3) lowest
closing bid prices on the Principal Market for the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days
preceding the Conversion Date (the “Adjustable Conversion Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Borrower shall enter into an agreement with an underwriter or placement agent to conduct a
registered public offering (“Registered Offering”) of the Common Stock or securities convertible
into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock based on a fixed market price of the Common Stock on
the date of the closing of the Registered Offering and which is not adjustable based on the future
market price of the Common Stock (such price, the “Registered Offering Price”), then the Conversion
Price shall be equal to:
(1) within six months of the Issue Date, the lesser of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii)
eighty percent (80%) of the Registered Offering Price; or
(2) at any time after six months subsequent to the Issue Date, the lesser of (i) the Fixed
Conversion Price, (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the Registered Offering Price and (iii) the
Adjustable Conversion Price.
If at any time subsequent to the Issue Date the Borrower shall agree to or issues any securities
convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock to any person or entity at less than
seventy-five percent (75%) of a, or an average, closing bid price on the Principal Market for the
Common Stock (such percentage, the “Greater Discount”) and such conversion or exercise price is
adjustable based on the future market price of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall
automatically be reduced to the Greater Discount.
(c) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon
conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as
follows:
A. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or
consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all
or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash
or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of
arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire
more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common
Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with
the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business
combination), (E) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d)
and 14(d) of the 1900 Xxx) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the
Borrower), or (F) the Borrower effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (other than a reverse merger) (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon,
if any, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of
shares or other securities and property as would
38
have been issuable or distributable on account of
such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the
conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive Fundamental 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 Fundamental
Transaction.
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 that may be issued or outstanding, 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 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) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the
Borrower shall promptly, but not later than the tenth (10th) business day after the
effectiveness of the adjustment, provide notice to the Holder setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
Failure to provide the foregoing notice is an Event of Default under this Note.
(e) During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized
and unissued Common Stock not less than an amount of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of
shares of Common Stock issuable 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.
Borrower 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. If the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its
capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes
shall be convertible at the Conversion Price then in effect, the Borrower shall at the same time
take all necessary actions to ensure that there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock authorized and reserved for conversion of the outstanding Notes.
2.2 Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in
part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial
conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at
the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of
this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid, upon surrender of the existing
Note.
2.3. Maximum Conversion. 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
39
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 4.99%. The Holder
shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2.3
will limit any conversion hereunder and the extent such limitation applies and to which convertible
or exercisable instrument or part thereof such limitation applies. The Holder may waive the
conversion limitation described in this Section 2.3, in whole or in part, upon and
effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Borrower to increase such percentage to up to
9.99%.
2.4. Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower’s
transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon the request of the Holder, the Borrower shall use its best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.
ARTICLE III
ACCELERATION AND REDEMPTION
3.1. Redemption. This Note may not be prepaid, converted, redeemed or called by the
Borrower without the consent of the Holder except as described in this Note.
3.2. Fundamental Transaction. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, then
in addition to the Holder’s rights described in Section 2.1(c)(A), until twenty (20)
business days after the Borrower notifies the Holder of the occurrence of the Fundamental
Transaction, the Holder may elect to accelerate the Maturity Date as of the date of the Fundamental
Transaction and receive payment for the then outstanding Principal Amount, and any other amount
owed to the Holder pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
3.3. Redemption of Principal Amount upon Qualified Financing.
(a) In the event the Company has raised $5,000,000 or more from the sale of capital stock or
debt securities in one or more related or unrelated financings subsequent to the last Closing
(“Qualified Financing”), then the Borrower shall offer to prepay the outstanding Principal Amount
of this Note (“Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder: (x) a sum of money equal
to: (i) if the Redemption occurs within sixty days of the Issue Date, one hundred and ten percent
(110%) of the Principal Amount to be redeemed, (ii) if the Redemption occurs between sixty and one
hundred and twenty days of the Issue Date, one hundred and twelve and a half percent (112.5%) of
the Principal Amount to be redeemed, and (iii) if the Redemption occurs more than one hundred and
twenty days subsequent to the Issue Date, one hundred and fifteen percent (115%) of the Principal
amount to be redeemed, and (y) accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due,
accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note or any Transaction Document through the
Redemption Payment Date as defined below (the “Redemption Amount”). Within five business days of
the closing of a Qualified Financing, Borrower shall notify the Holder of the Redemption in writing
(“Notice of Redemption”) at its registered address appearing on the books and records of the
Borrower. The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Redemption
40
(the “Redemption
Payment Date”), which date shall be at least thirty (30) business days after the date of the Notice
of Redemption (the “Redemption Period”).
(b) Notwithstanding the Notice of Redemption, the Holder shall not be required to tender its
Note for Redemption and at all times prior to the Maturity Date the Holder shall maintain the right
to convert all or a portion of the Note. A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with
respect to any portion of the Principal Amount for which the Holder has previously delivered an
election to convert, or subject to the previous sentence, for conversions initiated or made by the
Holder during the Redemption Period. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount, less
any portion of the Redemption Amount against which the Holder has permissibly exercised its
conversion rights, shall be paid in good funds (other than any accrued but unpaid interest, which
shall be paid in Common Stock) to the Holder. Borrower’s failure to (i) initiate the Redemption
upon the occurrence of a Qualified Financing or (ii) pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption
Payment Date as set forth herein, may be deemed by Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default.
During the Redemption Period, the Company must abide by all of its obligations to the Holder.
3.4. Redemption of Principal Amount upon Non-Qualified Financing.
(a) In the event the Company has raised funds of less than $5,000,000 from the sale of capital
stock or debt securities in one or more related or unrelated financings subsequent to the last
Closing (“Non-Qualified Financing”), then the Borrower shall offer to prepay the portion of the
Principal Amount obtained by multiplying the outstanding Principal Amount by a fraction of which
the numerator is the amount raised in the Non-Qualified Financing and the denominator is $5,000,000
(“Non-Qualified Redemption”). In connection with the Non-Qualified Redemption, the Company shall
pay the Holder or the Other Holders, as applicable, (x) a sum of money equal to: (i) if the
Non-Qualified Redemption occurs within sixty days of the Issue Date, one hundred and ten percent
(110%) of the Principal Amount to be redeemed, (ii) if the Non-Qualified Redemption occurs between
sixty and one hundred and twenty days of the Issue Date, one hundred and twelve and a half percent
(112.5%) of the Principal amount to be redeemed, and (iii) if the Non-Qualified Redemption occurs
more than one hundred and twenty days subsequent to the Issue Date, one hundred and fifteen percent
(115%) of the Principal Amount to be redeemed, and (y) accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any
and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note or any Transaction
Document through the Redemption Payment Date as defined below (the “Non-Qualified Redemption
Amount”). Within five business days of the closing of a Non-Qualified Financing, Borrower shall
notify the Holder or the Other Holders, as applicable, of the Non-Qualified Redemption in writing
(“Notice of Non-Qualified Redemption”) at its registered address appearing on the books and records
of the Borrower. The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date and amount of such Non-Qualified
Redemption (the “Non-Qualified Redemption Payment Date”), which date shall be at least thirty (30)
business days after the date of the Notice of Non-Qualified Redemption (the “Non-Qualified
Redemption Period”). In the event Holders request that Notes in excess of the Non-Qualified
Redemption Amount be subject to the Non-Qualified Redemption, the Principal Amount subject to the
Non-Qualified Redemption shall be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the outstanding Principal
Amount of Notes held by such Holders.
(b) Notwithstanding the Notice of Non-Qualified Redemption, the Holder shall not be required
to tender its Note for Non-Qualified Redemption and at all times prior to the Maturity Date and the
Holder shall maintain the right to convert all or a portion of the Note. A Notice of Non-Qualified
Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount for which the
Holder has previously delivered an election to convert, or subject to the previous sentence, for
conversions initiated or made by the Holder during the Non-Qualified Redemption Period. On the
Non-Qualified Redemption Payment Date, the Non-Qualified Redemption Amount, less any portion of the
Non-Qualified Redemption Amount against which the Holder has permissibly exercised its conversion
rights, shall be paid in good funds (other than any accrued but unpaid interest, which shall be
paid in Common Stock) to the Holder. Borrower’s failure to (i) initiate the
41
Non-Qualified
Redemption upon the occurrence of a Non-Qualified Financing or (ii) pay the Non-Qualified
Redemption Amount on the Non-Qualified Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, may be deemed
by
Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default. During the Non-Qualified Redemption Period, the
Company must abide by all of its obligations to the Holder.
ARTICLE IV

5.3 Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an
instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference
thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or
if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. The

shall pay the Holder hereof reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
5.6 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result
in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. Any action brought by either
party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement must be brought
only in the civil or state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State and
county of New York. Both parties and the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the
Borrower agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. The prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event
that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of
law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith
and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which
may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability
of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to
preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Borrower in any
other jurisdiction to collect on the Borrower’s obligations to Holder or to enforce a judgment or
other decision in favor of the Holder. This Note shall be deemed an unconditional obligation of
Borrower for the payment of money and, without limitation to any other remedies of Holder, may be
enforced against Borrower by summary proceeding pursuant to New York Civil Procedure Law and Rules
Section 3213 or any similar rule or statute in the jurisdiction where
44
enforcement is sought. For
purposes of such rule or statute, any other document or agreement to which Holder and Borrower are
parties or which Borrower delivered to Holder, which may be convenient or necessary to determine
Holder’s rights hereunder or Borrower’s obligations to Holder are deemed a
part of this Note, whether or not such other document or agreement was delivered together
herewith or was executed apart from this Note.
5.7 Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges
hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, any payments in excess of such
maximum rate shall be credited against amounts owed by the Borrower to the Holder and thus refunded
to the Borrower.
5.8 Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment or any action to be made shall be due on
a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, such payment may be
due or action shall be required on the next succeeding business day and, for such payment, such
next succeeding day shall be included in the calculation of the amount of accrued interest payable
on such date.
5.9 Facsimile Signature. In the event that the Borrower’s signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, PDF, electronic signature or other similar electronic means, such signature
shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower with the same force and effect as if
such signature page were an original thereof.
5.10 Shareholder Status. The Holder shall not have rights as a shareholder of the
Borrower with respect to unconverted portions of this Note. However, the Holder will have the
rights of a shareholder of the Borrower with respect to the Shares of Common Stock to be received
after delivery by the Holder of a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower.

VICOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
“Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received [ ] (the “Holder”), address at [ ], Fax: [ ], or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth

and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a per share purchase price of $0.80. The
aforedescribed purchase price per share, as adjusted from time to time as herein provided, is
referred to herein as the “Purchase Price.” The number and character of such shares of Common
Stock and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein. The Company may reduce
the Purchase Price for some or all of the Warrants, temporarily or permanently, provided such
reduction is made as to all outstanding Warrants for all Holders of such Warrants. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain
Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2010, entered
into by the Company, the Holder and the other signatories thereto.
As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the following
respective meanings:
(A) The term “Company” shall mean Vicor Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any
corporation which shall succeed or assume the obligations of Vicor Technologies, Inc. hereunder.

which or for which any of the securities described in (i) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to
a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
48
(C) For purposes of this Warrant, the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a
particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:
(a) If the Company’s Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the NASDAQ Global
Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the
NYSE Amex or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the average of the closing sale prices of the Common
Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Determination
Date;
(b) If the Company’s Common Stock is traded on the OTCQB Market, the over-the-counter market
or Pink Sheets, then the lowest average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the five (5)
trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Determination Date of any market on which
the Company’s Common Stock is traded;
(c) Except as provided in clause (d) below and Section 3.1, if the Company’s Common
Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in the absence of such
an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the American Arbitration
Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education
and training to pass on the matter to be decided; or
(d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any
event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company’s charter, then
all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the
event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per
share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of
this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the
Warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.
(D) The term “Other Securities” refers to any stock (other than Common Stock) and other
securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the holder of the
Warrant at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the
Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall
have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to
Section 4 or otherwise.
(E) The term “Warrant Shares” shall mean the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1. Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. From and after the Issue Date through
and including the Expiration Date, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant in whole in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2 or upon exercise of this
Warrant in part in accordance with Section 1.3, shares of Common Stock of the Company,
subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 below.
1.2. Full Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by
delivery to the Company of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription attached as
Exhibit A hereto (the “Subscription Form”) duly executed by such Holder and delivery of
payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is then exercisable by the
49
Purchase Price then in effect. The original Warrant is not
required to be surrendered to the Company until it has been fully exercised.
1.3. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a
fractional share) by delivery of a Subscription Form in the manner and at the place provided in
Section 1.2, except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by
multiplying (a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the
Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any such partial exercise, provided
the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue
and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of
the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may request, the whole number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be
exercised.
1.4. Automatic Exercise. In the event this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2 hereof on a cashless basis as of the close of the last trading day on or
before the Expiration Date, then this Warrant, to the extent not previously unexercised and subject
to the limitation in Section 9 of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised
without the requirement of any notice or delivery of the Subscription Form, pursuant to the terms
of Section 2. Such Expiration Date will be deemed the exercise date for purposes of determining
the Warrant Share Delivery Date and similar terms hereof.
1.5. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the
Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any
such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to
such Holder any such rights.
1.6. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that,
provided the full purchase price listed in the Subscription Form is received as specified in
Section 1.2, the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have occurred and payment made
for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or
in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter (“Warrant Share Delivery
Date”), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will
cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable
securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be
entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one
full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property
(including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to
Section 1 or otherwise. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.
As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant
the proportionate amount of $100 per business day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each
$10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not
timely delivered, not to exceed a maximum amount of liquidated damages of 10% of the Purchase Price
of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section 1.6 in
immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may
be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery
of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may
50
revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the
Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to
the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described
above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
1.7. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company
fails to deliver to a Holder the Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Warrant after the
Warrant Share Delivery Date and the Holder or a broker on the Holder’s behalf, purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by such Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available
to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares required to have been delivered together with
interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).
For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000
to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares to have been received
upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus
interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
2. Exercise.
(a) Payment upon exercise may be made at the option of the Holder either in (i) cash, wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the
applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing
methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be
adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the
holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the
number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) Subject to the provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of
Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in
lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value
(as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by delivery of a
properly endorsed Subscription Form delivered to the Company by any means described in Section
1.2, 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)
|
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 the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation) | |||
A= | Fair Market Value | |||
B= | Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
51
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner
described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the
Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the
Subscription Agreement.
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A)
the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B)
the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or
a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D)
the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including,
without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, or spin-off) with one or more persons or
entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities
making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party
to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any “person” or “group” (as
these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 0000 Xxx) is or shall become
the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of
more than 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, or (F) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any
such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon
such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of
the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any
additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Purchase Price shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,
cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the
same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the
foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of
any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring
any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1
and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon
any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
3.2. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this
Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the
Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
52
effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities,
including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall
have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall
(a) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding
Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding
shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by
multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as
so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or
events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be
adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a
fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the
provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price
in effect on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the
Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate
designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration
received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase
Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as
provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the
Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to
Section 10 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements.
The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the
exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time
issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder
hereof (a “Transferor”). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s
endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and
together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of
this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will issue and
deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in
the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form
(each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of
shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the
Transferor.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction
53
of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.
9. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an
exercise date, 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 an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made
on an exercise 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 on such date. For the purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder
shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%.
The restriction described in this paragraph may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61)
days prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%, but
not in excess of 9.99%. The Holder may decide whether to convert a Convertible Note or exercise
this Warrant to achieve an actual 4.99% or up to 9.99% ownership position as described above, but
not in excess of 9.99%.
10. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of the Warrant,
appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities)
on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to
Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the
foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be
made at such office by such Warrant Agent.
11. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books
of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
12. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified
herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges

EXHIBIT C
ESCROW AGREEMENT
This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of September 3, 2010, by and among Vicor
Technologies, Inc. (the “Issuer”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx Capital Corp. (the “Placement
Agent”), whose addresses and other information appear on the Information Sheet (as defined herein)
attached to this Agreement, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,
0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (the “Escrow Agent”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Issuer is offering to “accredited investors,” on a “best efforts” basis, up to
$2,950,000 principal amount of the Issuer’s 10% Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to
purchase shares at an exercise price of $.80 (the “Securities”) to be sold in units (“Units”) at a
purchase price of $100,000 (or such other amount as may be agreed upon by the parties) per Unit
(the “Offering”) for a total Offering of $2,950,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”), with a minimum
amount to close of $1,500,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”).
WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Placement Agent propose to establish an escrow account (the
“Escrow Account”), to which subscription monies which are received by the Escrow Agent from the
subscribers of the Securities (the “Investors”) or the Placement Agent in connection with such
private offering are to be credited, and the Escrow Agent is willing to establish the Escrow
Account on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to establish a special bank account at X.X. Xxxxxx Chase
Bank (the “Bank”) into which the subscription monies, which are received by the Escrow Agent from
the Investors or the Placement Agent and credited to the Escrow Account, are to be deposited.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Information Sheet. Each capitalized term not otherwise defined in this Agreement
shall have the meaning set forth for such term on the information sheet which is attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof (the
“Information Sheet”).
2. Establishment of the Bank Account.
2.1 The Escrow Agent shall establish a non-interest-bearing bank account at the branch of Bank
selected by the Escrow Agent, and bearing the designation set forth on the Information Sheet
(heretofore defined as the “Bank Account”). The purpose of the Bank Account is for (a) the deposit
of all subscription monies (checks or wire transfers) from prospective purchasers of the Securities
which are delivered to the Escrow Agent, (b) the holding of amounts of subscription monies which
are collected through the banking system and (c) the disbursement of collected funds, all as
described herein.
2.2 On or before the date of the initial deposit in the Bank Account pursuant to this
59
Agreement, the Placement Agent shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the date of the
commencement of the Offering (the “Effective Date”), and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to
accept any amounts for credit to the Escrow Account or for deposit in the Bank Account prior to its
receipt of such notification.
2.3 The “Offering Period,” which shall be deemed to commence on the Effective Date, shall
consist of the number of calendar days or business days set forth on the Information Sheet. The
Offering Period shall be extended at the Placement Agent’s discretion (an “Extension Period”) only
if the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice thereof prior to the expiration of the
Offering Period. The Extension Period, which shall be deemed to commence on the next calendar day
following the expiration of the Offering Period, shall consist of the number of calendar days or
business days set forth on the Information Sheet. The last day of the Offering Period, or the last
day of the Extension Period (if the Escrow Agent has received written notice thereof as herein
above provided), is referred to herein as the “Termination Date”. Except as provided in Section
4.3 hereof, after the Termination Date, the Placement Agent shall not deposit, and the Escrow Agent
shall not accept, any additional amounts representing payments by prospective purchasers.
3. Deposits to the Bank Account.
3.1 The Placement Agent shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent all monies which it
receives from prospective purchasers of the Securities, which monies shall be in the form of checks
or wire transfers, provided however that “Cashiers” checks and “Money Orders” must be in amounts
greater than $10,000; Cashiers checks or Money Orders in amounts less than $10,000 shall be
rejected by the Escrow Agent. Upon the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such monies, they shall be
credited to the Escrow Account. All checks delivered to the Escrow Agent shall be made payable to
“CST&T Vicor Technologies, Inc. Escrow Account.” Any check payable other than to the Escrow Agent
as required hereby shall be returned to the prospective purchaser, or if the Escrow Agent has
insufficient information to do so, then to the Placement Agent (together with any Subscription
Information, as defined below or other documents delivered therewith) by noon of the next business
day following receipt of such check by the Escrow Agent, and such check shall be deemed not to have
been delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3.2 Promptly after receiving subscription monies as described in Section 3.1, the Escrow Agent
shall deposit the same into the Bank Account. Amounts of monies so deposited are hereinafter
referred to as “Escrow Amounts”. The Escrow Agent shall cause the Bank to process all Escrow
Amounts for collection through the banking system. Simultaneously with each deposit to the Escrow
Account, the Placement Agent (or the Issuer, if such deposit is made by the Issuer) shall inform
the Escrow Agent in writing of the name, address, and the tax identification number of the
purchaser, the amount of Securities subscribed for by such purchase, and the aggregate dollar
amount of such subscription (collectively, the “Subscription Information”).
3.3 The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept for credit to the Escrow Account or for
deposit into the Bank Account checks which are not accompanied by the appropriate Subscription
Information, which at minimum shall include the name address, tax identification number and the
principal amount of the Note. Wire transfers representing payments by prospective purchasers shall
not be deemed deposited in the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent has received in writing the
Subscription Information required with respect to such payments.
3.4 The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept in the Escrow Account any amounts
representing payments by prospective purchasers, whether by check or wire, except during the Escrow
Agent’s regular business hours.
3.5 Only those Escrow Amounts, which have been deposited in the Bank Account and
60
which have cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent, are herein
referred to as the “Fund.”
3.6 If the Offering is terminated before the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall refund
any portion of the Fund prior to disbursement of the Fund in accordance with Article 4 hereof upon
instructions in writing signed by both the Issuer and the Placement Agent.
3.7 If prior to the disbursement of the Fund in accordance with Section 4.2 below, the Escrow
Agent has received notice from the Issuer that the subscription of a purchaser has been rejected
since such purchaser does not qualify as an investor in the Offering, the Escrow Agent shall
promptly refund to such purchaser the amount of payment received from such purchaser which is then
held in the Fund or which thereafter clears the banking system, without interest thereon or
deduction therefrom, by drawing a check on the Bank Account for the amount of such payment and
transmitting it to the purchaser.
4. Disbursement from the Bank Account.
4.1 If by the close of regular banking hours on the Termination Date the Escrow Agent
determines that the amount in the Fund is less than the Minimum Offering Amount, as indicated by
the Subscription Information submitted to the Escrow Agent, then in such case, the Escrow Agent
shall promptly refund to each prospective purchaser the amount of payment received from such
purchaser which is then held in the Fund or which thereafter clears the banking system, without
interest thereon or deduction there from, by drawing checks on the Bank Account for the amounts of
such payments and transmitting them to the purchasers. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall
promptly notify the Issuer and the Placement Agent of its distribution of the Fund.
4.2 If at any time up to the close of regular banking hours on the Termination Date, the
Escrow Agent has received joint written instructions from the Issuer and the Placement Agent that
all conditions for release of funds have been met for closing of the Offering, the Escrow Agent
shall promptly disburse the Fund in accordance with instructions.
4.3 Upon disbursement of the Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article 4, the Escrow Agent
shall be relieved of further obligations and released from all liability under this Agreement. It
is expressly agreed and understood that in no event shall the aggregate amount of payments made by
the Escrow Agent exceed the amount of the Fund.
5. Rights, Duties and Responsibilities of Escrow Agent. It is understood and agreed
that the duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature, and that:
5.1 The Escrow Agent shall notify the Placement Agent, on a daily basis, of the Escrow Amounts
which have been deposited in the Bank Account and of the amounts, constituting the Fund, which have
cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent.
5.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms
or conditions of the selling agreement or any other agreement between the Placement Agent and the
Issuer nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the performance by the Placement Agent or the
Issuer of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
5.3 The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept from the Placement Agent (or the Issuer)
any Subscription Information pertaining to prospective purchasers unless such Subscription
Information is accompanied by checks or wire transfers meeting the requirements of Section 3.1, nor
shall the
61
Escrow Agent be required to keep records of any information with respect to payments deposited by the
Placement Agent (or the Issuer) except as to the amount of such payments; however, the Escrow Agent
shall notify the Placement Agent within a reasonable time of any discrepancy between the amount set
forth in any Subscription Information and the amount delivered to the Escrow Agent therewith. Such
amount need not be accepted for deposit in the Escrow Account until such discrepancy has been
resolved.
5.4 The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any
check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent, within a reasonable time, shall return to the
Placement Agent any check received which is dishonored, together with the Subscription Information,
if any, which accompanied such check.
5.5 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy, act in reliance upon the
contents, and assume the genuineness of any notice, instruction, certificate, signature, instrument
or other document which is given to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement without the
necessity of the Escrow Agent verifying the truth or accuracy thereof. The Escrow Agent shall not
be obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any person
purporting to give any such notice or instructions or to execute any such certificate, instrument
or other document.
5.6 If the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive
instructions with respect to the Bank Account, the Escrow Amounts or the Fund which, in its sole
determination, are in conflict either with other instructions received by it or with any provision
of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to hold the Escrow Amounts, the Fund, or a portion thereof,
in the Bank Account pending the resolution of such uncertainty to the Escrow Agent’s sole
satisfaction, by final judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
5.7 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the
misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the case of willful
misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its
own choosing and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance
with the advice of such counsel.
5.8 The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any
security interest exists in the Escrow Amounts, the Fund or any part thereof or to file any
financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Fund or any part thereof.
6. Amendment; Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. This Agreement may be altered
or amended only with the written consent of the Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving
written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and the Placement Agent specifying a date when
such resignation shall take effect and upon delivery of the Fund to the successor escrow agent
designated by the Issuer or the Placement Agent in writing. Such successor Escrow Agent shall
become the Escrow Agent hereunder upon the resignation date specified in such notice. If the
Company and the Placement Agents fail to designate a successor Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days
after such notice, then the resigning Escrow Agent shall promptly refund the amount in the Fund to
each prospective purchaser, without interest thereon or deduction. The Escrow Agent shall continue
to serve until its successor accepts the escrow and receives the Fund. The Company and the
Placement Agent shall have the right at any time to remove the Escrow Agent and substitute a new
escrow agent by giving notice thereof to the Escrow Agent then acting. Upon its resignation and
delivery of the Fund as set forth in this Section 6, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and
from any and all further obligations arising in connection with the escrow contemplated by this
Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the resigning Escrow Agent shall
be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for any expenses
62
incurred in connection with its
resignation, transfer of the Fund to a successor escrow agent or distribution of
the Fund pursuant to this Section 6.
7. Representations and Warranties. The Issuer and the Placement Agent hereby severally
represent and warrant to the Escrow Agent that:
7.1 No party other than the parties hereto and the prospective purchasers have, or shall have,
any lien, claim or security interest in the Escrow Amounts or the Fund or any part thereof.
7.2 No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code is on file in any jurisdiction
claiming a security interest in or describing (whether specifically or generally) the Escrow
Amounts or the Fund or any part thereof.
7.3 The Subscription Information submitted with each deposit shall, at the time of submission
and at the time of the disbursement of the Fund, be deemed a representation and warranty that such
deposit represents a bona fide payment by the purchaser described therein for the amount of
Securities set forth in such Subscription Information.
7.4 All of the information contained in the Information Sheet is, as of the date hereof, and
will be, at the time of any disbursement of the Fund, true and correct.
7.5 Reasonable controls have been established and required due diligence performed to comply
with “Know Your Customer” regulations, USA Patriot Act, Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)
regulations and the Bank Secrecy Act.
8. Fees and Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to the Escrow Agent Fees set
forth on the Information Sheet, payable as and when stated therein. In addition, the Issuer and
the Placement Agent jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Escrow Agent for any reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, reasonable
counsel fees.
9. Indemnification and Contribution.
9.1 The Issuer (the “Indemnitors”) agrees to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitees”)
against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense,
including without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by
reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees arising out of or
relating in any way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates, unless
such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the
Indemnitees.
9.2 If the indemnification provided for in Section 9.1 is applicable, but for any reason is
held to be unavailable, the Indemnitors shall contribute such amounts as are just and equitable to
pay, or to reimburse the Indemnitees for, the aggregate of any and all losses, liabilities, costs,
damages and expenses, including counsel fees, actually incurred by the Indemnitees as a result of
or in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, claim or proceeding
arising out of or relating in any way to any actions or omissions of the Indemnitors.
9.3 The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether
by disbursement of the Fund, resignation of the Escrow Agent or otherwise.
10. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the final disposition
of the
63
Fund pursuant to Section 4, provided that the rights of the Escrow Agent and the obligations
of the other
parties hereto under Section 9 shall survive the termination hereof and the resignation or
removal of the Escrow Agent.
11. Governing Law and Assignment. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws
principles thereof, and shall be binding, upon the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer by any party of its
rights under this Agreement or with respect to the Escrow Amounts or the Fund shall be void as
against the Escrow Agent unless (a) written notice thereof shall be given to the Escrow Agent; and
(b) the Escrow Agent shall have consented in writing to such assignment or transfer.
12. Notices. All notices required to be given in connection with this Agreement shall
be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by hand delivery with receipt
acknowledged, or by the Express Mail service offered by the United States Postal Service, and

Information Sheet, and if to the Escrow Agent, at its address set forth above, to the attention of
the Trust Department.

any person or circumstance shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other
than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and shall be
valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Execution in Several Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts or by separate instruments and by facsimile transmission and all of such counterparts

Accrued Dividends do not impact this calculation because all they provide for is additional shares
of common stock to be issued once conversion takes place and the conversion price is established.
8% SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTES
These notes do not require a conversion price adjustment because they are convertible only at the
lesser of $0.80 or 80% of the underlying common share price of a “Qualified Funding” consisting of
gross proceeds of $3,000,000 or more. Also accrued interest does not impact any calculation because
all it provides for is additional shares of common stock to be issued once conversion takes place
