WHEREAS, the Principal Amount outstanding under the Notes was payable in cash on September 28, 2011, which is the date that is six (6) months from the closing date of the February Offering; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to extend the Maturity Date of the Notes and each Investor desires, severally and not jointly, to extend such Maturity Date subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and theInvestors agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the definition contained in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Extension of Maturity Date. The Principal Amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes shall be payable in cash on the earlier of: (i) October 29, 2011 (the “New Maturity Date”) or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Notes will remain secured pursuant to the transaction documents provided in connection with the February Offering.
3. Interest Rate. Except as modified by Section 5 hereof, each Note will continue to bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) until paid in full or converted as provided in such Note.
4. Payment of Accrued Interest. At the Extension Closing, the Company will pay to the Investors, in cash, an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest as of September 29, 2011 (equal to 5%), pro rata based on each Investor’s respective investment in the February Offering, for the period beginning March 29, 2011 and ending September 29, 2011.
5. Extension Consideration. Also at the Extension Closing (as defined below), the Company shall issue to each Investor a number of shares of Common Stock determined by: (x) multiplying 5% by the Investor’s Principal Amount (y) divided by $1.00, rounded up to the next whole share (the “Extension Stock”). Additionally, at the Extension Closing, the Company will pay to the Investors, in cash, an aggregate amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Principal Amount of the Notes, pro rata based on each Investor’s respective investment in the February Offering, as additional interest for the period beginning on February 28, 2011 and ending on March 28, 2010. For purposes of this Agreement, “Extension Closing” means the date on which this Agreement has been executed and delivered by the parties hereto, and all conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived.
6. Delay Penalty. If the Company does not repay the entire Principal Amount, all accrued and unpaid interest due on or before the New Maturity Date, then the Company will, in addition to the Interest Rate, pay an additional 2% (annualized) for each 30 day period all or any portion of the Principal, delay penalties or accrued interest remain unpaid, subject to a maximum aggregate interest rate of 20% (the sum of the Interest Rate plus 2% for each 30 day delay period), with such 2% being calculated on the full Principal Amount regardless of whether any portion thereof has been repaid by the Company and such full amount accruing as of the day following the New Maturity Date and then upon each 30 day anniversary of the New Maturity Date. The Company acknowledges and understands: (i) failure to satisfy the Notes in full at the New Maturity is an Event of Default and (ii) the default penalties provided in this Section 5 are not to be considered a waiver of such Event of Default. The Notes shall only be deemed “fully satisfied” when the full Principal Amount, all accrued and unpaid interest and penalties under this Section 5 have been paid in full.
7. Registration Rights. The Company also agrees to provide “piggyback” registration rights to the Investors with respect to the Extension Stock on the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.2 of the Registration Rights Agreement, substituting the “Extension Stock” for “Registrable Securities.”
8. Subordinated Loans. The proceeds of the Notes shall continue to be evidenced by unsubordinated loans to BioZone Laboratories, Inc. provided that such loans are payable upon demand of the Company.
9. Replacement Warrant. At the Extension Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor in the February Offering a revised warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Revised Warrant”) in replacement of the Warrant currently held by such Investor, which shall be cancelled on the Warrant Register. The Revised Warrant will entitle each Investor to acquire a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) 100% multiplied by (ii) the Principal Amount of the original Note, divided by (ii) the lower of (A) $1.50 and (B) the PIPE Share Price.
