Each request for extension or conversion shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower of the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b), and in (c) or (d), of Section 5.
Optional Conversion To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144.

The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
Date of Conversion Conversion Price: ---------------------------------------------------------------
Mandatory Conversion Provided an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, then, until the Maturity Date, the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal of the Note and accrued interest, thereon, into Common Stock at fifty percent (50%) of the Conversion Price, as adjusted, then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion, which notice must be given on the first day following twenty (20) consecutive trading days (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market shall be greater than Five Dollars ($5.00) each such trading day and during which twenty (20) trading days, the daily trading volume as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market is greater than 100,000 shares. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion. Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal and interest for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date. Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period as described in the Subscription Agreement. A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may be given only in connection with an amount of Common Stock which would not cause a Holder to exceed the 4.99% (or if increased, 9.99%) beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 2.3 of this Note.
Settlement Upon Conversion (i) Pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 9, upon a conversion the Company shall have the right to deliver the Conversion Value, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, provided that the Company may only elect to deliver cash if its credit facilities in existence at that time permit such payment and assets are legally available to pay such amounts. Unless the Company has elected to call a Forced Conversion, it shall not be required to notify Holders of its method for settling its conversion obligation relating to the Conversion Value until the Series A Preferred Stock is submitted for conversion.
(ii) If the Company receives a conversion notice from a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, the following procedures shall apply:
(a) During the Settlement Notice Period, the Company shall notify any Holders of Series A Preferred Stock exercising a conversion right, if the Company elects to settle any portion of its conversion obligation in whole or in part in cash. If the Company elects to settle the Conversion Value in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, it shall specify the percentage of the Conversion Value relating to the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion that will be paid in cash. Any portion of the Conversion Value which the Company does not elect to settle in cash shall be settled in shares of Common Stock (except that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of issuing any fractional shares). The Company shall treat all Holders converting on the same Trading Day in the same manner. The Company shall not, however, have any obligation to settle conversion obligations arising on different Trading Days in the same manner. For example, the Company may choose on one Trading Day to settle in shares of Common Stock only and choose on another Trading Day to settle in cash or a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash.
(b) If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion of the Conversion Value, Holders may retract the conversion notice at any time during the Conversion Retraction Period; provided that no such retraction may be made (and a conversion notice shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares).
(c) Settlement amounts shall be computed as follows:
1) If the Company elects to satisfy a conversion solely in shares of Common Stock (other than with respect to fractional shares), it shall deliver to the Holder, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate.
2) If the Company elects to satisfy a conversion solely in cash, it shall deliver to the Holder, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Value.
3) If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, it shall deliver to the Holder, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock:
(i) a cash amount (the “Cash Amount”) (excluding any cash paid for fractional shares) equal to the product of (a) the Conversion Value and (b) the percentage of the conversion obligation to be satisfied in cash; and
(ii) a number of shares of common stock equal to the difference between: (a) the applicable Conversion Rate; minus (b) the number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Cash Amount divided by (y) the arithmetic average of the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
Automatic Conversion Subject to Section 5 below and, at the Company’s election and request, Holder’s reaffirmation of Holder’s representations and warranties under Section 3 of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the principal amount of this Note (and all interest accrued on this Note at the option of the Payor) shall be converted into the number of shares of common stock as follows:
(a) In the event of a next equity financing by the Company in one transaction or series of related transactions which raises an aggregate amount of at least One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Next Equity Financing”), the principal amount on this Note shall automatically be converted (regardless of whether or not the Note is surrendered to Payor) into the equity securities issued in the Payor’s Next Equity Financing (the “Next Equity Financing Stock”). Any accrued interest outstanding at the time of the conversion shall be paid in cash by the Company. This Note shall convert into the number of shares at the time of the “Next Equity Financing” equals to ___,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”) This Note shall be deemed automatically cancelled immediately upon such conversion. As a condition precedent to the issuance of the Next Equity Financing Stock to Holder upon such conversion, Holder shall execute and deliver such agreements, instruments and other documents as are executed and delivered by the other investors in connection with their purchase of the Next Equity Financing Stock.
(b) In the event of the “Company’s Sale”, defined below, at the option of Payor, the principal hereunder and, at the option of the Payor, shall automatically be converted (regardless of whether or not the Note is surrendered to Payor) into the number of shares (the “Company’s Sale Stock”) equals to ____,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Note shall be deemed automatically cancelled immediately upon such conversion.
Conversion Date The "Conversion Date" is a Switch or frame conversion planned day of cut-over to the replacement frame(s) or Switch. The actual conversion time typically is set for midnight of the Conversion Date. This may cause the actual Conversion Date to migrate into the early hours of the day after the planned Conversion Date.
Forced Conversion Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the Original Issue Date, (i) the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock for each of the sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the issuance of the Forced Conversion Notice (as defined below), which period shall have commenced only after the Original Issue Date (such period the “Threshold Period”), exceeds $1.16 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the Original Issue Date) and (ii) in excess of 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock has traded on each of sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the issuance of the Forced Conversion Notice, (iii) on the Forced Conversion Notice Date and thereafter there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares or the Conversion Shares may be immediately resold in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 ,(iv) the Company is current in its required Periodic Filings with the SEC and (v) there are at least 2 market makers for the Common Stock the Company may, within 1 Trading Day after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to the Holder, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause the Holder to convert all or part of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus, if so specified in the Forced Conversion Notice, accrued but unpaid liquidated damages and other amounts owing to the Holder under this Note, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 4 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion Date”). Any Forced Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Subscription Agreement; provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against the Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if only a portion of this Note is forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 4, including, without limitation, the provision requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions. No Forced Conversion Notice shall be effective to the extent it would require a Conversion in excess of the limitations in Section 4 (c ) of the Note .
Casual Conversion A casual Employee, who has been engaged by the Employer on a regular and systematic basis for a period in excess of six-weeks, thereafter, will have their contract of employment converted to permanent employment unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. Regular and systematic shall be defined as an average of 4 days or more, per week, over 6 weeks. Eligible current employees will be transitioned to full time no later than 6 weeks from the date of approval of this agreement.
Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock (a) The Holder shall have the right from and after 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/or at the Holder's election with the Company's consent, the interest accrued on the Note, (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of Borrower as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the "Common Stock") at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Company of a Notice of Conversion as described in Section 9 of the subscription agreement entered into between the Company and Holder relating to this Note (the "Subscription Agreement") of the Holder's written request for conversion, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three business days from the Conversion Date that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Company will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). 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 to be converted and interest, if any, by the Conversion Price.
(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be the lower of (i) eighty- five percent (85%) of the average of the three lowest closing prices for the Common Stock on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange, 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"), or if not then trading on a Principal Market, such other principal market or exchange where the Common Stock is listed or traded for the thirty (30) trading days prior to but not including the Closing Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) in connection with which this Note is issued ("Maximum Base Price"); or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) percent of the average of the three lowest closing prices for the Common Stock on the Principal Market, or on any securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being listed or traded, for the thirty (30) trading days prior to but not including the Conversion Date.
(c) The Maximum Base Price described in Section 2.1(b)(i) above and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
