Exhibit 10.2
AMENDED AND RESTATED NORTHWEST BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC.
LOAN AGREEMENT, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND
10% SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
$250,000.00 APRIL 17, 2006
SECTION 1. GENERAL.
For value received, NORTHWEST BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"MAKER" or the "COMPANY"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Toucan
Partners, LLC or its assigns (collectively, the "HOLDER"), the principal amount
of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) upon written demand by Holder
made at any time on or after the first anniversary of execution of the Original
Issue Date (as defined below) of this Amended and Restated Loan Agreement,
Security Agreement and 10% Secured Promissory Note (this "NOTE" or this
"AGREEMENT"), or such earlier date as may be applicable under Sections 3 and 4
hereof (the "MATURITY DATE").
This Note amends and restates in its entirety that certain Northwest
Biotherapeutics, Inc. Loan Agreement, Security Agreement and 10% Secured
Promissory Note dated December 30, 2005 ("ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE") in the principal
amount of $250,000 issued by the Maker in favor of Holder (the "ORIGINAL NOTE").
This Note shall not constitute a novation of the Original Note or an accord and
satisfaction of the obligations of Maker evidence thereby. The Original Note is
being amended and restated hereby in partial consideration for the Holder's
agreement to consent to the Company's issuance of shares of Common Stock and
warrants to purchase Common Stock to certain accredited investors in a private
placement pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as
of March 30, 2006.
Maker shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note, accruing
from and after the Original Issue Date at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum, compounding annually (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed) (the "INTEREST RATE"). Accrued interest shall be
payable upon the payment of the principal of this Note. The principal of, and
interest on, this Note shall be payable in lawful currency of the United States
of America by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
Holder, as provided in writing to Maker by Holder. All payments shall be applied
first to fees, costs and charges relating to this Note (including, without
limitation, any costs of collection), then to accrued and unpaid interest, and
thereafter to principal. This loan is made by Holder to Maker in anticipation of
an equity financing. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Recapitalization Agreement.
SECTION 2. PRE-PAYMENT.
This Note may be pre-paid in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date;
provided Maker provides Holder with 30 days prior written notice thereof, and
provided further that Holder shall have the option to convert this note in
accordance with Section 12 hereof by notifying Maker of Holder's election on or
before the expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period. In the event
of prepayment, Maker shall pay a penalty in the amount of 1% of the principal
and accrued interest then outstanding under this Note, unless a greater or
lesser penalty is established or approved by the U.S. Small Business
Administration ("SBA"). Conversion of this Note shall not be deemed a
prepayment.
SECTION 3. DEFAULT INTEREST.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the unpaid
principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest shall bear interest payable on
demand at the lesser of (i) fourteen percent (14%) per annum, (ii) the maximum
rate permitted under applicable rules and regulations of the SBA, or (iii) the
maximum rate allowed by law (the "DEFAULT INTEREST"). Such interest shall
accrue, commencing upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing
until such Event of Default is cured or waived.
SECTION 4. DEFAULTS.
4.1 Definitions. Each occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT":
(a) if a default occurs in the payment of any principal of, interest
on, or other obligation with respect to, this Note, whether at the due date
thereof or upon acceleration thereof, and such default remains uncured for five
(5) business days after written notice thereof from Holder;
(b) if any representation or warranty of Maker made herein shall have
been false or misleading in any material respect, or shall have contained any
material omission, as of the date hereof;
(c) if a default occurs in the due observance or performance of any
covenant or agreement on the part of Maker to be observed or performed pursuant
to the terms of this Note and such default remains uncured for five (5) business
days after written notice thereof from Holder;
(d) if a default occurs in Maker's performance of any of the terms and
conditions of that certain Amended and Restated Recapitalization Agreement,
dated as of July 30, 2004 and as amended on October 22, 2004, November 10, 2004,
December 27, 2004, January 26, 2005, April 12, 2005, May 13, 2005, June 16,
2005, July 26, 2005, September 7, 2005 and November 14, 2005 (the
"RECAPITALIZATION AGREEMENT") or any Related Recapitalization Document;
(e) if Maker shall (i) discontinue its business, (ii) apply for or
consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of
Maker or any of its property, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or (iv) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or an
answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors, or take
advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
dissolution or liquidation laws or statutes, or file an answer admitting the
material allegations of
2
a petition filed against it in any proceeding under any such law, provided,
however, that insolvency of Maker shall not constitute a default, or the basis
for a default, during the Bridge Period;
(f) if there shall be filed against Maker an involuntary petition
seeking reorganization of Maker or the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or liquidator of Maker or a substantial part of its assets, or an
involuntary petition under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law of
any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect (any of the foregoing
petitions being hereinafter referred to as an "INVOLUNTARY PETITION") and such
Involuntary Petition shall not have been dismissed within ninety (90) days after
it was filed, provided, however, that insolvency of Maker shall not constitute a
default, or the basis for a default, during the Bridge Period;
(g) if final judgment(s) for the payment of money in excess of an
aggregate of $25,000 (excluding any portion thereof that an insurance company of
nationally recognized standing and creditworthiness has agreed to pay) shall be
rendered against Maker and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of
thirty (30) days;
(h) if there occurs any event that may have a material adverse effect
on the business, affairs, prospects, operations, properties, assets,
liabilities, structure or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company (as
such business is presently currently conducted and/or as it is proposed to be
conducted), or on any material assets or any Intellectual Property or other
Collateral developed, owned, controlled, licensed, possessed, or used by Maker,
or to which Maker has any right, option, entitlement or claim, provided,
however, that ongoing weakening of Maker's financial condition due to ongoing
expenditures and Maker's failure to obtain equity financing shall not constitute
a default, or the basis for a default, during the Bridge Period; or
(i) if Maker deviates, during the period covered by such budget, more
than $10,000 in aggregate from the budget included in the Disclosure Schedule
(as defined herein), or takes any action or makes any promise, undertaking or
commitment that would result in Maker incurring or accumulating payables and/or
other financial obligations of any kind, whether current or deferred, direct or
indirect, for purposes other than as set forth in budgets expressly agreed to by
Holder, and/or in any amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in such agreed
budgets, which equal or exceed $10,000 in aggregate, and which have not been
approved in writing in advance by Holder.

this Note is part of an integrated Recapitalization Plan, as set forth in the
Recapitalization Agreement and the Related Recapitalization Documents. Maker
further acknowledges and agrees that this Note is subject to all terms and
conditions set forth in the Recapitalization Agreement and the Related
Recapitalization Documents, and that the Recapitalization Agreement and the
Related Recapitalization Documents are subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Note. Maker agrees that any default by Maker under any
provision of this Note, the Recapitalization Agreement or any of the Related
Recapitalization Documents will constitute a default under each other Related
Recapitalization Document and the Recapitalization Agreement.

4.3 Remedies on Default.
(a) Upon each and every such Event of Default and at any time
thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default: (i) any and all
indebtedness of Maker to Holder under this Note or otherwise shall immediately
become due and payable, both as to principal and interest (including any
deferred interest and any accrued and unpaid interest and any Default Interest);
and (ii) Holder may exercise all the rights of a creditor under applicable state
and/or federal law.
(b) In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be
continuing, and acceleration of this Note or any other indebtedness of Maker to
Holder shall have occurred, Holder may, inter alia, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity and/or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in
this Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof
or thereof or in furtherance of the exercise of any power granted hereby or
thereby or by law. No right conferred upon Holder by this Note shall be
exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter
available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 5. DEFENSES.
5.1 No Offsets. The obligations of Maker under this Note shall not be
subject to reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense, set-off,
counterclaim or recoupment for any reason.
5.2 Usury Limitations. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply
with all applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding
any provisions to the contrary in this Note or any other agreements or
instruments between them, in no event shall such agreements or instruments
require the payment or permit the collection of interest (which term, for
purposes hereof, shall include any amount which, under applicable law, is deemed
to be interest, whether or not such amount is characterized by the parties as
interest) in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws. If any excess
of interest is unintentionally contracted for, charged or received under the
Note or under the terms of any other agreement or instrument between the
parties, the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the
maximum lawful rate of interest allowed under the applicable usury laws as now
or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof.
SECTION 6. REPLACEMENT OF NOTE.
Upon receipt by Maker of reasonable evidence of the loss, theft,
destruction, or mutilation of this Note, Maker will deliver a new Note
containing the same terms and conditions in lieu of this Note. Any Note
delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 shall be dated as
of the date of this Note.
4
SECTION 7. EXTENSION OF MATURITY.
Should the principal of or interest on this Note become due and payable on
other than a business day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding business day, and, in the case of principal, interest shall be
payable thereon at the rate per annum herein specified during such extension.
For the purposes of the preceding sentence, a business day shall be any day that
is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday in the State of Delaware.
SECTION 8. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COLLECTION FEES.
Should the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or any part hereof be
collected at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership or other court
proceedings, arbitration or mediation, or any settlement of any of the
foregoing, Maker agrees to pay, in addition to principal and interest due and
payable hereon, all costs of collection, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Holder in collecting or
enforcing this Note.
SECTION 9. WAIVERS; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
9.1 Waivers by Maker. Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment,
notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices or demands in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or default of this Note.
9.2 Actions of Holder not a Waiver. No delay by Holder in exercising any
power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or
further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right hereunder
or otherwise; and no waiver or modification of the terms hereof shall be valid
unless set forth in writing by Holder and then only to the extent set forth
therein.
9.3 Consent to Jurisdiction. Maker hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware over
any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or any
other agreements or instruments with respect to Holder. Maker hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Maker may now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding
brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court
shall be conclusive and binding upon Maker and may be enforced in any court in
which Maker is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment, provided
that service of process is effected upon Maker as provided in this Note or as
otherwise permitted by applicable law.
9.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. MAKER WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN
MAKER AND HOLDER RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS NOTE. THE SCOPE OF THIS
WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE
FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS NOTE,
INCLUDING,
5
WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND
STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY
OTHER DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE LOAN.
9.5 Service of Process. Maker hereby consents to process being served in
any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by
delivery of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, to Maker, and/or by delivery of a copy thereof to a registered agent
of Maker. Refusal to accept delivery, and/or avoidance of delivery, shall be
deemed to constitute delivery. Maker irrevocably agrees that service in
accordance with this Section 9.5 shall be deemed in every respect effective
service of process upon Maker in any such suit, action or proceeding, and shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal
service upon Maker. Nothing in this Section 9.5 shall affect the right of Holder
to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law or limit the right of
Holder otherwise to bring proceedings against Maker in the courts of any
jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
SECTION 10. COVENANTS.
10.1 Affirmative Covenants. So long as this Note shall remain outstanding:
(a) Office. Maker shall maintain its principal office, and the
majority of its employees, assets and operations, in the United States.
(b) Use of Proceeds. Maker will use the proceeds from this Note only
for the following purposes:
(i) General operating expenses, expenses for the development and protection
of its intellectual property, and other usual and customary commercial and
business expenses incurred in pursuing its business plan and strategy, on
and after the effective date hereof;
(ii) Audit expenses and regular and special SEC filing expenses, for audits
and filings occurring on or after the effective date hereof, including,
without limitation, SEC filings relating to solicitation of any shareholder
consents to the recapitalization of Maker; and
(iii) Expenses of accountants, attorneys, consultants and other
professionals (including, without limitation, the expenses of Investor
described in Section 4.11 of the Recapitalization Agreement) relating to
the recapitalization of Maker,
in each case only to the extent that both the nature and the amount of such
expenses are in conformity with the budget approved in advance in writing by
Holder and included in the Disclosure Schedule. Maker will not use the proceeds
from this Note for any other purpose. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, none of the proceeds will be used, without prior written agreement by
the Holder, (i) to purchase or carry (or refinance any borrowing, the proceeds
of which were used to purchase or carry) any "security" within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), (ii) to repay any
indebtedness or
6
discharge any obligation to an person or entity, other than trade payables
incurred in the ordinary course of business on or after the effective date
hereof, and consistent with Maker's operating plans and budgets fully disclosed
to the Holder prior to the Closing, or (iii) to engage in business activities
which would cause a violation of 13 CFR 107.720. This latter limitation
prohibits, without limitation, the use of proceeds: (i) directly or indirectly,
for providing funds to others; (ii) for the purchase or discounting of debt
obligations; (iii) for factoring or long-term leasing of equipment with no
provision for maintenance or repair; (iv) for engaging in real estate
transactions such that Maker could reasonably be classified under Major Group 65
(Real Estate) of the SIC Manual; (v) for business activities wherein the assets
of the business of Maker (the "BUSINESS") will be reduced or consumed, generally
without replacement, as the life of the Business progresses, and the nature of
the Business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the
financing sources of the Business, on a basis associated with the continuing
sale of assets (examples of such businesses would include real estate
development projects, the financing and production of motion pictures, and oil
and gas well exploration, development and production); (vi) for a foreign
operation; (vii) to provide capital to a corporation licensed or sub-licensed
under the Small Business Investment Act, (viii) to acquire farm land, (ix) to
fund production of a single item or defined limited number of items generally
over a defined production period, such production to constitute the majority, of
the activities of Maker (examples include electric generating plants), or (x)
for any purpose contrary to the public interest (including, but not limited to,
activities which are in violation of law) or inconsistent with free competitive
enterprise, in each case, within the meaning of Section 107.720 of Title 13 of
the Code of Federal Regulations.
(c) Seniority. Except as otherwise expressly provided, and except for
security interests and liens described in items 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Schedule 14.11
of the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE"), the indebtedness evidenced by this Note: (i) shall be senior in all
respects to all other indebtedness or obligations of Maker of any kind, direct
or indirect, contingent or otherwise, other than obligations of Maker owed
directly to the state or federal government, and other than any other
indebtedness or obligations of Maker to Holder; (ii) shall not be made
subordinate or subject in right of payment to the prior payment of any other
indebtedness or obligation of any kind, direct or indirect, contingent or
otherwise, other than obligations of Maker owed directly to the state or federal
government, and other than any other indebtedness or obligations of Maker to
Holder.
(d) No Conflicting Agreements. Maker shall not enter into any
agreement that would materially impair, interfere or conflict with Maker's
obligations hereunder. Without Holder's prior written consent, Maker shall not
permit the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any
provisions that could or might in any way result in the creation of a security
interest in any assets of Maker, including without limitation any Collateral (as
defined in Exhibit A hereto).
(e) Disclosure of Material Adverse Events. Within three (3) business
days of Maker obtaining knowledge thereof, Maker will notify Holder in writing
of any event that may have a material adverse effect on the business, affairs,
prospects, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, structure or condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Company (as such business is presently conducted
and/or as it is proposed to be conducted), or on any material assets or any
7
Intellectual Property or other Collateral developed, owned, controlled,
licensed, possessed, or used by Maker, or to which Maker has any right, option,
entitlement or claim. Operating expenditures in the ordinary course of business
and in accordance with operating budgets approved by Maker's Board of Directors
and fully disclosed to Holder prior to the effective date hereof shall not be
deemed to be material adverse events solely because they weaken Maker's
financial condition in the absence of new equity financing of Maker.
(f) Financial Information. So long as any principal and/or interest
under this Note shall remain outstanding:
(i) Promptly after the end of each fiscal year (but in any event
prior to February 28 of each year) and at such other times as Holder may
reasonably request, Maker shall deliver to Holder a written assessment, in
form and substance satisfactory to Holder, of the economic impact of such
Holder's financing hereunder, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs
created or retained in connection with such investment, and the impact of
the financing on Maker's business in terms of revenues and profits and on
taxes paid by Maker and its employees.
(ii) Maker shall provide on a timely basis to Holder all
financial information requested from time to time by Holder, including
without limitation its quarterly and annual balance sheet and income
statement. Such financial information shall be certified by a member of
Maker's senior management. Financial information required shall also
include such information as would be necessary for Holder to file form 468
with the SBA, if it were applicable.
(iii) In addition to the information specified in Section
10.1(f)(i) and (ii) above, upon request, Maker agrees promptly to provide
Holder with sufficient additional information to provide any other
information reasonably requested or required by any governmental agency
asserting jurisdiction over Holder.
(iv) Maker shall report its cash position and all expenditures
and agreements, commitments or undertakings for expenditures to Holder on a
bi-weekly basis.
(g) Access. So long as any principal and/or interest under this Note
shall remain outstanding, Maker shall permit Holder and its agents or
representatives to visit and inspect Maker's properties, to examine its books of
account and records and to discuss Maker's affairs, finances and accounts with
its officers, all at such times during normal business hours as reasonably may
be requested by Holder.
(h) [Reserved]
(i) Business Activity. As long as this Note shall remain outstanding,
Maker shall make no change in its business activity that would make it or any of
its business activities non-compliant with SBA regulations and guidelines.
8
10.2 Negative Covenants. So long as this Note shall remain outstanding:
(a) Indebtedness. Maker shall not incur additional indebtedness,
beyond the indebtedness already existing as of the date hereof, for borrowed
money in excess of $10,000, in aggregate.
(b) Liens. Maker shall not grant to any person or entity a security
interest, lien, license, or other encumbrance of any kind, direct or indirect,
contingent or otherwise, in, to or upon any assets of Maker, including, without
limitation, any intellectual property of any kind, as defined in Exhibit A
hereto (the "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY").
(c) Sale or License of Assets. Maker shall not sell, lease, transfer,
assign or otherwise dispose of or encumber (including, without limitation
through licensing or partnering arrangements) or abandon, conceal, injure or
destroy any material assets (whether tangible or intangible) of Maker
(including, without limitation, any Collateral (as defined in Section 11)),
other than with the prior written approval of Holder and in the ordinary course
of business.
(d) Issuance of Capital Stock. Except for (a) any transaction pursuant
to an Unsolicited Proposal that Maker accepts in accordance with the fiduciary
exception provided in Section 3.2 of the Recapitalization Agreement or (b)
shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of warrants or
convertible securities outstanding prior to February 1, 2004, Maker shall not
without Holder's prior written approval: (i) issue any shares of capital stock
or other securities, or any instruments exercisable for or convertible into
capital stock or other securities, or (ii) make any promises, commitments,
undertakings, agreements or letters of intent for any of the issuances described
in (i) hereof.
(e) Distributions and Redemptions. Maker shall not declare or pay any
dividends or make any distributions of cash, property or securities of Maker
with respect to any shares of its common stock, preferred stock or any other
class or series of its stock, or, directly or indirectly (except for repurchases
of common stock by Maker in accordance with the terms of employee benefit plans
or written agreement between Maker and any of its employees approved by the
Board of Directors of Maker prior to February 1, 2004), redeem, purchase, or
otherwise acquire for any consideration any shares of its common stock or any
other class of its stock.
(f) Hiring. Maker shall not hire, engage, retain, or agree to hire,
engage or retain, any Personnel, except with Holder's express prior written
approval, on a case by case basis.
(g) Severance. Maker shall not enter into, increase, expand, extend,
renew or reinstate any severance, separation, retention, change of control or
similar agreement with any Personnel, or agree, promise, commit or undertake to
do so, except with Holder's prior written approval, on a case by case basis.
(h) Facilities. Maker shall not purchase, lease, hire, rent or
otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any rights in or to any asset or
facility outside of the ordinary course of business in an amount in excess of
$10,000, in aggregate, or agree, promise or commit to do so,
9
except in accordance with the Maker's budget that has been approved by the
Maker's board of directors and the Holder.
(i) Expenses. Maker shall make no expenditures in excess of
$10,000 in aggregate other than in accordance with a budget pre-approved by
Holder. Maker shall not deviate, during the period covered by such budget, more
than $10,000 in aggregate from the budget included in the Disclosure Schedule,
nor take any action or make any promise, undertaking or commitment that would
result in Maker incurring or accumulating payables and/or other financial
obligations of any kind, whether current or deferred, direct or indirect, for
purposes other than as set forth in budgets expressly agreed to by Holder,
and/or in any amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in such agreed budgets,
which equal or exceed $10,000 in aggregate, and which have not been approved in
writing in advance by Holder.
(j) Other Limitations.
(i) Maker shall not change the nature of its business activity in
a manner that would cause a violation of 13 C.F.R. Section 107.720 and/or
Section 107.760(b) (including, without limitation, by undertaking real estate,
film production or oil and gas exploration activities). In the event that Maker
changes the nature of its business activity such that such change would render
Maker ineligible for financing pursuant to applicable SBA rules and regulations,
Maker agrees to use its best efforts to facilitate a transfer or redemption of
any securities then held by Holder.
(ii) Maker will at all times comply with the non-discrimination
requirements of 13 C.F.R. Parts 112, 113 and 117.
(iii) For a period of at least one year after the date of this
Note, Maker will locate no more than 49 percent of the employees or tangible
assets of Maker outside the United States.
10.3 Additional Covenant. Until the later of the expiration of the
Standstill Period (as defined in Section 13 below) or the date on which this
Note has been discharged in full, Maker shall not sell, license, loan or
otherwise in any way transfer or distribute Maker's Tangential Flow Filtration
("TFF") devices or any similar device, or any specifications, diagrams,
description or other information about the TFF devices, to any third party, or
commit or promise or enter into any understanding of any kind, direct or
indirect, contingent or otherwise, to do any of the foregoing in regard to
Maker's TFF devices or any similar device, without the prior written consent of
Holder in each case.
SECTION 11. SECURITY INTEREST.
11.1 First Priority in All Collateral. To secure its obligations under this
Note whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, Maker hereby
grants and pledges to Holder a first priority senior security interest in all of
Maker's right, title and interest in, to and under all of Maker's tangible and
intangible property, whether now owned, licensed or held or hereafter
10
acquired, licensed, developed, held or arising, as described in Exhibit A hereto
(the "COLLATERAL"), and all proceeds of any kind from any disposition of any
such Collateral. Such security interest shall be senior to any security interest
in the Collateral granted the holders of the Management Notes pursuant to any
subordination agreement between Holder, the holders of the Management Notes,
Toucan Capital Fund II, L.P. or Maker, and shall be senior to any other security
interest of any kind, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, in the
Collateral except for the security interests and liens described in items 2, 3,
4 and 5 of Schedule 14.11 of the Disclosure Schedule (only to the amounts set
forth on such schedule) and any other indebtedness or obligations of Maker to
Holder. If certificates of title are now, or hereafter become, issued or
outstanding with respect to any of the Collateral, Maker promptly shall cause
the senior security interest of Holder to be properly noted thereon. Maker
agrees that the security interest herein granted has attached and shall continue
until Maker's obligations under this Note have been paid, performed and
indefeasibly discharged in full.
11.2 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Holder with respect to
the senior security interest granted hereby are in addition to those which are
now or may hereafter be available to Holder as a matter of law or equity. Each
right, power and remedy of Holder provided for herein, or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in
addition to every right, power and remedy provided for herein, and the exercise
by Holder of any one or more of the rights, powers and/or remedies provided for
in this Note, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any person, including a grantee,
of any or all other rights, powers and/or remedies.
11.3 Documentation of Security Interest. Maker shall execute, deliver,
file, amend, and re-file any financing statements, instruments (including
without limitation stock certificates), continuation statements, assignments, or
other security agreements that Holder may require from time to time to confirm
the liens arising out of this Note with respect to the Collateral. Maker agrees
to pay all reasonable costs associated with filing and/or re-filing of any
financing statements, continuation statements or other security agreements
required to perfect and to continue perfection of Holder's security interest in
the Collateral and all reasonable costs required to evidence the first priority
of the security interest, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees. Maker authorizes Holder to file financing statements under the UCC with
respect to the security interest granted hereby and agrees, upon request of
Holder, to promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further
instruments and documents, and to take such further action, as Holder may
reasonably deem necessary or desirable to obtain the full benefits of this grant
of security interest.
11.4 No Conflicting Agreements. Maker shall not enter into any agreement on
or after the effective date of this Note that would materially impair or
conflict with Maker's obligations hereunder without Holder's prior written
consent. Without Holder's prior written consent, Maker shall not permit the
inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party on or after the
effective date of this Note, of any provisions that could or might in any way
prevent the creation, perfection and maintenance of a first priority security
interest in Maker's rights and interest in any property included within the
definition of the Collateral acquired under such contracts. Maker represents and
warrants that, as of the effective date of this Note, there are no existing
agreements or undertakings that would materially impair or conflict with Maker's
obligations
11
hereunder or that could or might in any way prevent the creation, perfection and
maintenance of a first priority security interest in Maker's rights and interest
in any property included within the definition of the Collateral acquired under
such contracts; except for existing equipment leases described in item 2 of
Schedule 14.11 and the statutory liens described in items 3 and 4 of the
Disclosure Schedule.
11.5 Notification Requirements. Within two (2) business days of any
officer, director or employee of Maker obtaining knowledge thereof, Maker will
promptly notify Holder in writing of any event that materially adversely affects
the value of any material Collateral, the ability of Maker to dispose of any
material Collateral, or the rights and remedies of Holder in relation thereto,
including the levy of any legal process against any of the Collateral.
11.6 Foreclosure Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or
in the Recapitalization Agreement or any other agreement or document, in the
event that Maker is unable to pay and discharge this Note in full on the
Maturity Date, subject to the compliance with the requirements of the Delaware
Uniform Commercial Code, nothing herein or in the Recapitalization Agreement or
any other agreement or document shall be deemed to preclude, limit or restrict
Holder from requiring the delivery of some or all of the Collateral in full or
partial satisfaction of Maker's obligation under the Note. Alternatively, Holder
may, in its sole discretion, elect to cause some or all of the Collateral to be
sold, and the sale proceeds to be used to pay and discharge the Note in full.
SECTION 12. CONVERSION.
12.1 Holder's Election. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note or
any applicable agreement or document, until, and/or in the absence of, purchases
for cash of a minimum of $15 million of Convertible Preferred Stock, by Other
Investors (as defined in the Recapitalization Agreement), on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Recapitalization Agreement and the Convertible
Preferred Stock Term Sheet, Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to convert
any or all of the principal and/or interest due under the Note into any Equity
Security and/or Debt Security (each as defined below) and/or any combination
thereof, in each case that Holder shall designate in Holder's sole discretion
(the securities so elected being the "HOLDER DESIGNATED SECURITIES"). Holder may
make such determinations from time to time and at any time before this Note has
been discharged in full, and, as applicable, at any time on or before the
expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period required under this Note in the
event the Maker wishes to prepay this Note. For purposes hereof, (i) the term
"Equity Security" means any class or series of equity security, or any
combination of classes and/or series of equity securities, of the Maker that
have been authorized under the Maker's certificate of incorporation, as amended
and/or restated, including by any certificate of designation (the "Charter"), or
any new class or series of equity security, or any combination of new and/or

intent to obtain such authorization and (ii) the term "Debt Security" means any
evidence of indebtedness of the Maker that the Maker has authorized, created or
incurred, or that the Maker has undertaken any agreement, obligation, promise,
commitment or letter of intent to authorize, create or incur.
12
12.2 Automatic Conversion. The principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, this Note shall automatically convert into Convertible Preferred
Stock, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Recapitalization Agreement, only in the event, and upon the closing of, the

options, or conversion or exercise of other securities or instruments), on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Convertible Preferred Stock Term Sheet, by
Other Investors, as defined in the Convertible Preferred Stock Term Sheet, of a
minimum of $15 million of Convertible Preferred Stock.
12.3 Information for Holder's Election. Maker shall provide to Holder,
within two (2) business days after notice of each request by Holder, all
information reasonably requested by Holder in connection with any Equity
Securities and/or Debt Securities, to enable Holder to make decisions regarding
one or more conversions. In the event that Maker seeks to prepay this Note,
Maker shall deliver to Holder, simultaneously and together with the notice
required under Section 2 of this Note of Maker's interest in prepaying the Note,
a summary of all material information, terms and conditions relating to all
Equity Securities and Debt Securities (including any "side" letters or
agreements or separate agreements).
12.4 Conversion Price. The conversion price for any conversion pursuant to
Section 12.2 shall be the lowest nominal or effective price per share paid by
the Other Investors who acquire such Convertible Preferred Stock (with the
exception of shares issuable upon exercise of the Initial Bridge Warrants). The
conversion price for any conversion into any equity or debt security pursuant to
Section 12.1 shall be the lowest of (i) the lowest nominal or effective price
per share paid by any investor at any time on or after the date one year prior
to the Effective Date (with the exception of (x) purchases of up to 35,000
shares of Common Stock pursuant to certain options to purchase, at a purchase
price of $0.0001, that were outstanding on the Effective Date and held by
members of the Board of Directors, as set forth in Schedule 2.7(d) to the
Recapitalization Agreement, and (y) shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Initial Bridge Warrants, each of which shall be excluded from consideration
under this section), (ii) the lowest nominal or effective price at which any
investor is entitled to acquire shares (including, without limitation, through
purchase, exchange, conversion or exercise) pursuant to any other security,
instrument, or promise, undertaking, commitment, agreement or letter of intent
of the Maker outstanding on or after the Effective Date or granted, issued,
extended or otherwise made available by the Maker at any time on or after the
date one year prior to the Effective Date (regardless of whether currently
exercisable or convertible) (with the exception of (x) certain options to
purchase up to 35,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.0001 that
were outstanding on the Effective Date and held by members of the Board of
Directors as set forth in Schedule 2.7(d) to the Recapitalization Agreement, and
(y) the Initial Bridge Warrants, each of which shall be excluded from
consideration under this section); and (iii) the lesser of $0.10 per share or
35% discount to the average closing price per share of the Common Stock during
any twenty consecutive trading days (beginning with the twenty consecutive
trading days prior to the Effective Date); provided, however, that in no event
shall the price per share calculated pursuant to this clause (iii) be less than
$.04 per share. The calculation required by clause (ii) hereof shall initially
be based upon Schedule 2.7(d) to the Recapitalization Agreement. All other
rights, preferences, privileges, terms and conditions received by Holder in
connection with any conversion and/or any securities issued by the Maker to
Holder upon
13
conversion, shall be no less favorable to Holder than the rights, preferences,
privileges, terms and conditions any other investor in the Maker has received or
is entitled to receive with respect to the security into which Holder is
converting pursuant to any other security, instrument, promise, undertaking,
commitment, agreement or letter of intent of the Maker, whether or not such
rights, preferences, privileges, terms and conditions for any other investor are
incorporated into the agreements or documents relating to any conversion or any
issuance of the security or other instrument to that investor or are provided
separately, at any time on or after one year prior to the Effective Date. In
regard to each conversion hereunder, the Maker hereby agrees to take and/or
arrange for all necessary corporate and related action to enable the execution
of each such conversion elected by Holder.
12.5 No Impairment. Maker shall not, by amendment of its Charter or through
a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, omission or agreement,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by Maker under and/or in connection with this Note, but
shall at all times in good faith use best efforts to assist in carrying out of
all the provisions of and/or relating to this Note and in taking all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights, preferences and
privileges under and/or in connection with the Note against impairment. Holder's
rights, preferences and privileges granted under and/or in connection with any
Holder Designated Securities may not be amended, modified or waived without the
Holder's prior written consent, and the documentation providing for such rights,
preferences and privileges will specifically provide as such.

such contact or communication, in regard to any potential equity or debt

the Recapitalization Agreement, during the Standstill Period, the Maker and its
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, consultants, partners and

14
limitation, the identity of the parties involved, any terms of the
Recapitalization Agreement, this Note, the Related Recapitalization Documents,
the Convertible Preferred Stock or any other matter relating to the
recapitalization of Maker, or the progress or status of any activities or

SECTION 14. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Except as expressly set forth (with reference to a section in this Note) in the
Disclosure Schedules attached hereto as Exhibit B (as updated as of each closing
contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement and the Related Recapitalization
Documents), and only to the extent such exceptions are acceptable to Holder in
its sole discretion as of the date of this Note, and independently as of the
date upon which each additional Note is issued to Holder, and as of the date of
each closing, if any, of the Anticipated Equity Financing, Maker represents and
warrants to the following:
14.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Maker is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry
on its business. Maker is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify would have a
material adverse effect on its business, properties, operations, prospects or
condition (financial or otherwise).
14.2 Authorization of Note, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by
Maker of this Note has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action by
Maker in accordance with Delaware law. This Note is a valid and binding
obligation of Maker, enforceable against Maker in accordance with its terms,
except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or other laws of general application effecting enforcements of
creditors' rights or general principles of equity.
14.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, performance, issuance, sale and
delivery of this Note and the Related Recapitalization Documents, and compliance
with the provisions hereof by Maker, will not (a) to the knowledge of Maker,
violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to
Maker or any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any court,
arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental body applicable to Maker
or any of its properties or assets or (b) conflict with or result in any
material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute
(with notice or lapse of time or both) a material default (or give rise to any
right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, or result in the
creation of, any encumbrance upon any of the material assets of Maker under, the
15
Charter or Bylaws of Maker (as they may be amended to date) or any agreement or
instrument to which Maker is a party. As used herein, "encumbrance" shall mean
any liens, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims, options, proxies, pledges,
security interests, licenses or other similar rights of any nature.
14.4 Compliance with Other Instruments. Maker is not in violation of any
term of Maker's Charter, as amended, including any certificate of designation
filed therewith, and/or Maker's Bylaws. Maker is not, in any material respect,
in violation of any term of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement,
instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation to which Maker
or any of such Collateral is subject. To the best of Maker's knowledge, no event
has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute a breach or violation, in any material respect, under any
applicable judgments, orders, writs, decrees, federal, state and/or local laws,
rules or regulations which would have a material adverse affect on the
condition, financial or otherwise, or operations of Maker (as it is currently
conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted) or on any material assets or
any Intellectual Property or other Collateral owned, controlled, licensed,
possessed, and/or used by Maker. To the best of its knowledge, Maker has avoided
every condition, and has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would
result in Maker's loss of any right granted under any license, distribution
agreement or other agreement or Maker's loss of any rights in or to any
Collateral.
14.5 Approvals. Maker has obtained all necessary permits, authorizations,
waivers, consents and approvals of or by, and made all necessary notifications
of and/or filings with, all applicable persons (governmental and private), in
connection with the execution, delivery, performance, issuance, sale and/or
delivery of this Note, the Recapitalization Agreement and the Related
Recapitalization Documents, and consummation by Maker of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, except as listed in Schedule 14.5
14.6 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Maker consists of
300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share and 100,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share. As of the date hereof,
63,553,806 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding and 32,500,000
shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are issued and outstanding. No
other shares of any class or series of Maker's capital stock are authorized
and/or issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Maker have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid
and non-assessable, and have been offered, sold and delivered by Maker in
compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Except as set
forth in Schedule 14.6, no subscription, warrant, option, convertible security,
or other right (direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise) to purchase or
otherwise acquire any equity securities of Maker is authorized or outstanding,
and there is no agreement, promise, commitment, undertaking or letter of intent
of any kind (direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise) by Maker to issue any
shares, subscriptions, warrants, options, convertible securities, or other such
rights, or to distribute to holders of any of its equity securities any evidence
of indebtedness or asset. Except as set forth in Schedule 14.6, Maker has no
obligation of any kind (direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise) to
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its equity securities or any
interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any other distribution in
respect thereof. Schedule 14.6 includes a true, accurate and complete statement
describing the total number of shares of Maker outstanding as of the date of
16
this Note (on a fully diluted basis, including, without limitation, all warrants
and options outstanding (whether or not currently exercisable), all convertible
instruments of any kind (whether or not currently convertible), shares of all
classes of stock, and any agreements, promises, commitments, undertakings or
letters of intent to issue any of the foregoing.
14.7 Authorization of the Shares. Maker has authorized the issuance and
sale of a sufficient number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, and Common Stock of the Maker to fully implement the
Recapitalization Plan, while maintaining such additional authorized but unissued
shares as reasonably determined by Holder to be appropriate. Of such authorized
shares, a sufficient number of shares shall be reserved for issuance upon any
exercise of the Bridge Warrants and/or Preferred Stock Warrants. If at any time
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
and/or of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
outstanding convertible Notes and other instruments, and the exercise of all
then outstanding warrants, options and similar instruments, then, in addition to
such other remedies as may be available to Holder, including, without
limitation, the exercise of Holder's right of first refusal set forth in Section
2.7(f) of the Recapitalization Agreement, Maker shall take such corporate action
as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock to such number of shares as will
be sufficient for such purposes. Such corporate action shall include, without
limitation, obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals and any requisite
shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to Maker's Charter.
14.8 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 14.8 of the Disclosure
Schedule, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to
the knowledge of Maker, currently threatened against Maker, and/or its
directors, officers, advisers, agents, properties, assets or business, in each
case relating to Maker and/or its business, assets, operations or properties.
Maker is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by Maker
currently pending or which Maker intends to initiate.
14.9 No Liens. Except for liens for the benefit of Holder, created by this
Note, and for the benefit of Toucan Partners, LLC created by the
Recapitalization Agreement and/or any of the Related Recapitalization Documents,
and except as set forth in Schedule 14.9 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the
material assets of Maker, including the Collateral, are subject to any existing
lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance of any kind, direct or
indirect, contingent or otherwise.
14.10 Full Disclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note,
neither this Note, nor any exhibit hereto, nor any written report, certificate,
instrument or other information furnished to Holder in connection with the
transactions contemplated under and/or in connection with Note contain any
material misstatement (including, without limitation, any material omission), or
is misleading in any material respect.
14.11 No Other Security Interests or Other Encumbrances. Except as set
forth in Schedule 14.11 (and only to the amounts set forth on such schedule),
there are no existing security interests, pledges, liens or other encumbrances
of any kind, direct or indirect, contingent
17
or otherwise (including without limitation any licensing or partnering

without limitation, any Intellectual Property (as defined herein) or other
Collateral. All existing security interests, pledges, liens or other
