Procedure.
(i) Prior
to the conversion in accordance with this Section 5, the

issuance.
(ii) Any
such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of
business on the date on which a written conversion request is delivered from
Lender to the Company specifying the amount of principal, or principal and
interest, to be converted. At such time as such conversion has been effected,
the rights of Lender as such Lender to the extent of the conversion shall cease,
and Lender shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of
Common Stock represented thereby.
(iii) As
soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within
thirty (30) business days), the Company shall deliver to Lender, a certificate
or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any
fractional share) issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names
and such denomination or denominations as Lender has specified to the Company in
writing.
(iv) If
any fractional Common Share would, except for the provisions hereof, be
deliverable upon conversion, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional
share, shall pay an amount equal to the value of such fractional
share.
(v) The
issuance of certificates for the shares of Common Stock upon conversion shall be
made without charge to Lender for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other
cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related
issuance of the Shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion, the Company
shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the shares
of Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3
(vi) The
Company shall not close its books against the transfer of the shares of Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion in any manner which interferes with the
timely conversion. Lender, upon the request of the Company, shall
assist and cooperate with the Company in making any required governmental
filings or in obtaining any government approval prior to or in connection with
the conversion (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be
made by the Company).
(vii) The
Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such
shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law
or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities
exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official
notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each
issuance).
(viii) If (A) the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock (or
other securities at the time receivable upon the conversion) for the purpose of
entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for or purchase any securities, or to receive any other right or
otherwise proposes to make a dividend or distribution; (B) there is proposed any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the equity
interests of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another entity, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company to another entity; (C) any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company; or (D) any redemption or conversion of outstanding
shares of Common Stock into any other type of securities then, and in each such
case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to Lender a notice in
accordance with Section 13
specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation, winding up, redemption or conversion is to take place,
and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of the
shares of Common Stock (or at the time receivable upon the conversion) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up. Such written notice shall be given at least 30 days prior
to the transaction in question and not less than 10 days prior to the record
date in respect thereof.
(d) Partial
Exercise. Upon conversion, the portion of principal and
interest hereunder that has not have been converted shall remain due and payable
by the Company according to the terms and conditions set forth
Agreement.
6. Use of
Proceeds. The proceeds from
this Agreement shall be used by the Company in any manner determined by the
Company.
7. Adjustment
of Conversion Price. The Conversion
Price with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:
4
(a) The
Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as
follows:
(i) Stock Splits. If
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement
effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then
in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately
decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time after
the date of this Agreement combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be
proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection (i)
shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(ii) Dividends and
Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from
time to time after the date of the Agreement makes, or fixes a record date for
the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in
each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be proportionally
decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date is
fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
(iii) Recapitalization or
Reclassification. If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of the Agreement are changed into the same or a different number
of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization,
reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares
or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets,
provided for elsewhere in this Section 7), then, and
in any such event, Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion of the Agreement such number and kind of stock or other securities or
property of the Company to which a holder of shares deliverable upon conversion
of the Agreement would have been entitled on such reclassification or other
change, subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(iv) Subsequent Equity
Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while the Agreement is outstanding, shall offer, sell,
grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its
securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant
or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an
effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price,
the “Base Conversion
Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”),
as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at
an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on
such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced
to equal the Base Conversion Price. The Company shall notify Lender
in writing, no later than three (3) Business Days following the issuance of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating
therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange
price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this subsection (iv),
upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price shall be
reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price.
5
(v) Subsequent Rights
Offerings. If the Company, at any time while this Agreement is
in effect, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Lender) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price at the record
date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the
number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of
shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at
such lesser price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights
or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights,
options or warrants.
(vi) No
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (vi) are
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment; and provided, further, that any
adjustment required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution
to the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be made when so
required. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be
made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward). Anything
in this Section
7(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, to
the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
addition to those required by this Section 7(a), as it
in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock
dividends, subdivision or combination of shares, distribution of capital stock
or rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, distribution of evidences
of indebtedness or assets or any other transaction which could be treated as any
of the foregoing transactions pursuant to Section 305 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (and any successor provision), hereafter made by the
Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable to such
shareholders.
8. Amendment. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be
amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to
perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has
obtained the prior written consent of Lender.
9. Waiver. The failure of
Lender to insist on full compliance with any provision of this Agreement in a
particular instance shall not result in a waiver or relinquishment of any right
or obligation herein, and shall not preclude Lender from requiring full
compliance with any provision of this Agreement thereafter.
6
