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 ___________, without demand, the sum of up to ____________ ($_____) (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 Companys election in cash or Common Stock to
the extent resellable pursuant to Rule 144 and to 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 Holders 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 assignees 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 Borrowers Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (Common Stock) as set
forth below.
2.1. | Conversion into the Borrowers 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.
(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
2
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 $0.45 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 1934 Act) 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 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
3
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 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
4
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 Borrowers
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 Holders 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 Holders 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 (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).
5
(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. Borrowers 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. Borrowers failure to (i) initiate the 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
6
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.
7

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 enforcement is sought. For
purposes of such rule or statute, any other document or agreement to which Holder and Borrower are

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 Borrowers 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.
