“Underlying
Shares”
means

2. Interest.
(a) The
Company shall pay interest to the Investor on the aggregate unconverted and
then
outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of 6% per annum, payable
semi-annually in cash, in arrears on each six month anniversary of the Original
Issue Date (each, an “Interest
Payment Date”),
except if such date is not a Trading Day, in which case such interest shall
be
payable on the next succeeding Trading Day. Interest shall be calculated on
the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and shall accrue
daily commencing on the Original Issue Date.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing requirement of cash interest payments, subject to the conditions
and limitations set forth below, in lieu of paying interest in cash the Company
may, at its option, on each Interest Payment Date, pay accrued interest on
this
Note by delivering by the third Trading Day following the applicable Interest
Payment Date, a number of shares of Common Stock covered by an effective
registration statement which names the Investor as a selling stockholder
thereunder for such shares, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
amount of such interest by 90% of the Closing Price of the Common Stock on
the
Trading Day immediately preceding (but not including) such Interest Payment
Date. The Company must deliver written notice to the Investor indicating whether
it will pay interest on account of subsequent Interest Payment Dates in cash
or
Common Stock at least thirty Trading Days prior to each Interest Payment Date,
but the Company may indicate in any such notice that the election contained
therein shall continue for subsequent Interest Payment Dates until rescinded.
Failure to timely provide such written notice shall be deemed an irrevocable
election by the Company to pay such interest in cash. All interest payable
in
respect of the Notes on any Interest Payment Date must be paid in the same
manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not pay interest in
shares of Common Stock on any Interest Payment Date unless, on both the Interest
Payment Date and the date of delivery of such Underlying Shares, the Equity
Conditions Are Satisfied; provided, that the Investor shall have the right,
but
not the obligation, to add to the principal amount of the Notes any interest
not
fully paid, which may be converted at the Conversion Price.
7
(c) If
an
Investor converts any principal or interest of this Note, in each case prior
to
the one year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, then within three Trading
Days of such Conversion Date or on the Prepayment Date, the Company shall pay
to
the Investor the interest that would have been due on such principal amount
converted as if such principal amount had been held for the entire one year
period following the Original Issue Date. Such payment shall be payable in
the
same manner as interest may be paid, in cash in accordance with Section 2(a)
above, or subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2(b), in registered
Common Stock in accordance with the terms and valuation set forth in Section
2(b) above.
3. Registration
of Notes.
The
Company shall register the Notes upon records maintained by the Company for
that
purpose (the “Note
Register”)
in the
name of each record Investor thereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and
treat the registered Investor of this Note as the absolute owner hereof for
the
purpose of any conversion hereof or any payment of interest hereon, and for
all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary from such record
Investor.
4. Registration
of Transfers and Exchanges.
Subject
to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company
shall register the transfer of any portion of this Note in the Note Register
upon surrender of this Note to the Company at its address for notice set forth
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Note, in substantially
the
form of this Note (any such new debenture, a “New
Note”),
evidencing the portion of this Note so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Note evidencing the remaining portion of this Note not
so
transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Investor. The
acceptance of the New Note by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Note. The Company agrees that its prior consent is not required for the
transfer of any portion of this Note; provided,
however, that the Company shall be entitled to reasonable assurance, including
an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such transfer
complies with applicable federal and state securities laws. This Note is
exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Investor surrendering the same.
No
service charge or other fee will be imposed in connection with any such
registration of transfer or exchange.
5. Conversion,
Prepayment and Repurchase Upon a Change of Control.
(a) Conversion.
(i) At
the
Option of the Investor.
All or
any portion of the principal amount of this Note then outstanding, together
with
any accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, shall be convertible into shares
of
Common Stock at the Conversion Price (subject to limitations set forth in
Section 5(b)), at the option of the Investor, at any time and from time to
time
from and after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date. The
Investor may effect conversions hereunder by delivering to the Company a
Conversion Notice together with a schedule in the form of Schedule
1
attached
hereto (the “Conversion
Schedule”).
If the
Investor is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by
this
Note, or if a conversion hereunder is not permitted to be effected in full
due
to the application of Section 5(b), the Company shall honor such conversion
to
the extent permissible hereunder and consistent with Section 5(b) and shall
promptly deliver to the Investor an executed Conversion Schedule indicating
the
principal amount which has not been converted.
8
(ii)
At
the
Option of the Company.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 5(a)(ii), the Company may deliver a written
notice (such notice, a “Company
Conversion Notice”)
to all
Investors stating its irrevocable election to require the conversion at the
Conversion Price of up to such aggregate principal amount outstanding under
all
of the Notes as would result in the issuance of a number of Underlying Shares
equal to (A) the product of (A) 0.50 multiplied by (B) the total daily trading
volume of the Common Stock over the 30 Trading Days immediately preceding (but
not including) the date that a Company Conversion Notice is delivered to the
Investor, provided,
that:
(i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days
immediately preceding (but not including) the delivery of the Company Conversion
Notice is equal to or greater than $2.06 per share (subject to equitable
adjustment as a result of the events set forth in Sections 10(a), (b) and (c),
including if such events occur during such measurement period), (ii) the Equity
Conditions Are Satisfied for such Underlying Shares to be issued upon such
forced conversion, (iii) immediately before or after giving effect to such
issuance on such date, no Event of Default or Default shall or would exist,
and
(iv) the Company has not forced conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a)(ii)
during the thirty days preceding delivery of the Company Conversion Notice.
Each
Note to be converted pursuant to this Section 5(a)(ii) shall be converted on
a
pro rata basis, based on each Investor’s proportionate ownership of the then
outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Section 5(a)(ii), the Company shall effect the conversion of this Note
pursuant to a Company Conversion Notice on the 31st
Trading
Day immediately succeeding the date of the Company Conversion Notice (the
“Company
Conversion Date”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, the Investor
shall have the right to nullify such Company Conversion Notice if any of the
conditions set forth in this Section 5(a)(ii) shall not have been met from
the
date of the Company Conversion Notice through the Company Conversion Date.
The
Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered
from the time of delivery of the Company Conversion Notice through 6:30 p.m.
on
the Trading Day prior to the Company Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company and the Investor agree that, if and to the extent Section
5(b) of this Note would restrict the right of the Company to issue or the right
of the Investor to receive any of the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable
upon
the conversion in respect of a Company Conversion Notice, then notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in the Company Conversion Notice, the Company
Conversion Notice shall be deemed automatically amended to apply only to such
portion of this Note as would permit conversion in full in compliance with
Section 5(b). The Investor will promptly (and, in any event, prior to the
Company Conversion Date) notify the Company in writing following receipt of
a
Company Conversion Notice if Section 5(b)(i) or (ii) would restrict its right
to
receive the full number of otherwise issuable Underlying Shares following such
Company Conversion Notice.
9
(b) Certain
Conversion Restrictions.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock
that may be acquired by the Investor upon conversion of the Notes (or otherwise
in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates and
any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Investor's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does
not
exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such
conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares
of Common Stock which an Investor may receive or beneficially own in order
to
determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Investor
may
receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction involving the Company as
contemplated in Section 11 of this Note. [By written notice to the Company,
an
Investor may waive the provisions of this Section 5(b)(i) as to itself but
any
such waiver will not be effective until the 61st
day
after delivery thereof and such waiver shall have no effect on any other
Investor.] [This restriction may not be waived, and notwithstanding anything
to
the contrary in any Transaction Document, may not be amended by agreement of
the
parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or
in
any other Transaction Document, (a) no term of this Section may be waived by
any
party, nor amended such that the threshold percentage of ownership would be
directly or indirectly increased, (b) no amendment or modification to any
Transaction Document may be made such that it would have the effect of modifying
or waiving any term of this Section in violation of this restriction, (c) this
restriction runs with the Note and may not be modified or waived by any
subsequent holder hereof and (d) any attempted waiver, modification or amendment
of this Section will be void ab initio.]1
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock
that may be acquired by an Investor upon each conversion of Notes (or otherwise
in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates and
any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with such Investor's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does
not
exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such
conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares
of Common Stock which an Investor may receive or beneficially own in order
to
determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Investor
may
receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (defined below) involving
the
Company as contemplated herein. This restriction may not be waived, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, may not
be
amended by agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Note or in any other Transaction Document, (a) no term of
this
Section may be waived by any party, nor amended such that the threshold
percentage of ownership would be directly or indirectly increased, (b) no
amendment or modification to any Transaction Document may be made such that
it
would have the effect of modifying or waiving any term of this Section in
violation of this restriction, (c) this restriction runs with the Note and
may
not be modified or waived by any subsequent holder hereof and (d) any attempted
waiver, modification or amendment of this Section will be void ab initio.

(c) Repurchase
at the Option of the Investor Upon a Change of Control.
(i) Subject
to the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 5(c)(i), if a Change
of
Control occurs (or the Company effects or publicly announces its intention
to
effect any exchange, recapitalization or other transaction that effectively
requires or rewards physical delivery of certificates evidencing the Common
Stock, unless following such transaction, the holders of the Company's
securities prior to the first such transaction continue to beneficially own
at
least one-half of the voting rights and equity interests in the surviving entity
or acquirer of such assets) at any time prior to maturity, each Investor may
elect, by notice to the Company (a “Repurchase
Notice”),
to
require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of such Investor’s
then outstanding Notes for a payment amount in Dollars in cash equal to 100%
of
such principal amount, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and an
additional amount necessary to provide a total return to the Investor of 10%
per
annum on the Notes, and any unpaid liquidated damages then owing to the Investor
under the Transaction Documents, to, but not including, the date that is 30
days
following the date notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control is delivered
by the Company to Investors pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii) below (the
“Repurchase
Date”).
(ii) No
later
than 30 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall
give
written notice thereof to all Investors of then outstanding Notes. For then
outstanding Notes to be so repurchased at the option of the Investor under
Section 5(c)(i), the Company must receive written notice from the Investor
stating its irrevocable election to require the Company to repurchase such
Notes, on or before 6:30 p.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day that is five
(5) Trading Days prior to the Repurchase Date.
(d) Prepayment
at the Option of the Company.
At any
time following the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, upon
delivery of a written notice to the Investor (such notice, a “Prepayment
Notice”),
the
Company shall be entitled to prepay all of the then-outstanding principal amount
of this Note for a payment amount in Dollars in cash equal to the sum of: (i)
100% of the then-outstanding principal amount of this Note on the 31st
Trading
Day immediately following the date of the Prepayment Notice (the “Prepayment
Date”);
(ii)
all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the Prepayment Date; (iii)
the
interest that would have been due on such principal amount as if such principal
amount had been held for the entire term of this Note until the Maturity Date,
provided,
however,
that no
such interest shall be required to be paid by the Company if the Closing Price
of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding
(but not including) the Prepayment Date is greater than $3.00 per share (subject
to equitable adjustment as a result of the events set forth in Sections 10(a),
(b) and (c), including if such events occur during such measurement period);
(iv) other amounts then owing to the Investor under the Transaction Documents;
and (v) an additional amount (such additional amount, the “Prepayment
Premium”)
equal
to the greater of (1) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying the then-outstanding principal amount of this Note, multiplied by
the
Black Scholes valuation of an American call option on one share of Common Stock
(assuming an exercise price equal to the then-current Conversion Price, a risk
free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. treasury rate for a period equal
to
the remaining term of this Note as of the date of the Prepayment Notice, an
expected volatility equal to the 90-day historic volatility on the day prior
to
the date of the Prepayment Notice obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg,
an expected life equal to the remaining term of this Note and a dividend yield
of 0%) and (2) 25% of the then-outstanding principal amount of this Note.
Payments of interest pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall be payable in the
same
manner as interest may be paid, in cash in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof,
or subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, in registered
Common Stock in accordance with the terms and valuation set forth in Section
2(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option,
on
the Prepayment Date, elect to pay (in lieu of cash) the Prepayment Premium
by
delivering such number of shares of Common Stock covered by an effective
registration statement with a fair market value (based on the average of the
Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding
the
date of the Prepayment Notice) equal to the Prepayment Premium; provided,
however,
that
the Equity Conditions Are Satisfied for such shares of Common Stock to be
delivered as payment of the Prepayment Premium. The Company must deliver written
notice to the Investor indicating whether it will pay the Prepayment Premium
in
Common Stock at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Prepayment Date. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered
from the time of delivery of the Prepayment Notice through 6:30 p.m. on the
Trading Day prior to the Prepayment Date.
11
6. Mechanics
of Conversion.
(a) The
number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion hereunder shall equal
the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted, divided by the
Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, plus (if indicated in the applicable
Conversion Notice) the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note
through the Conversion Date, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion
Date.
(b) The
Company shall, by the third Trading Day following each Conversion Date, issue
or
cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of
the
Investor and in such name or names as the Investor may designate a certificate
for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion, free of restrictive
legends to the extent permitted by Section 4.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement.
The
Investor, or any Person so designated by the Investor to receive Underlying
Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying
Shares as of such Conversion Date. The Company shall use its best efforts to
deliver Underlying Shares hereunder electronically (via a DWAC) through the
Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions.
(c) The
Investor shall not be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect
a
conversion hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall
have
the same effect as cancellation of the Note and issuance of a New Note
representing the remaining outstanding principal amount.
12
(d) The
Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion
of
this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Investor to enforce the same,
any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Investor or any other Person of any obligation to the Company
or
any violation or alleged violation of law by the Investor or any other Person,
and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Investor in connection with the issuance of
such Underlying Shares.
(e) If
by the
third Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the
Investor such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner required
pursuant to Section 5, then the Investor will have the right to rescind the
Conversion Notice pertaining thereto by giving written notice to the Company
prior to such Investor’s receipt of such Underlying Shares.
(f) If
by the
third Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the
Investor the required number of Underlying Shares in the manner required
pursuant to Section 5, and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the
receipt of such Underlying Shares, the Investor (or someone on the Investor’s
behalf) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of the Underlying
Shares which the Investor anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a
“Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall: (1) pay in cash to the Investor (in addition to any other
remedies available to or elected by the Investor) the amount by which (x) the
Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required
to
deliver to the Investor in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the
actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (2) at the
option of the Investor, either void the conversion at issue and reinstate the
principal amount of Notes (plus accrued interest therein) for which such
conversion was not timely honored or deliver to the Investor the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Investor
shall provide the Company reasonably detailed evidence or written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In. For
example, if the Investor purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price
of
$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note
with respect to which the actual sale price of the Underlying Shares (including
any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total
of $10,000 under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company
shall be required to pay the Investor $1,000. Nothing herein shall limit an
Investor’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
13
(g) If
the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Investor such certificate or
certificates pursuant to Section 5 by the third Trading Day after the Conversion
Date, the Company shall pay to such Investor, in cash, as liquidated damages
and
not as a penalty, for each $1000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per
Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after
such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such third
Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit
an
Investor’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 7 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Underlying
Shares within the period specified herein and such Investor shall have the
right
to pursue al remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Investor from seeking
to
enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable
law.
7. Events
of Default.
(a) At
any
time or times following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of
Default, the Investor may elect, by notice to the Company (an “Event
Notice”),
to
require the Company to repay all or any portion of the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note, as indicated in such Event Notice (it being
agreed that any Event Notice failing to specify a repayment amount shall be
deemed a demand for repayment in full on account of the entire principal amount
of all Notes to which such Event Notice applies), for a payment amount in
Dollars in cash equal to the greater of: (A) 102% of such outstanding principal
amount (except that in the case of an Event Notice citing an Event of Default
under clause (iii) of the definition of “Event of Default”, in which case such
amount shall equal the amount set forth in Section 5(c) herein), plus all
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any unpaid liquidated damages and other
amounts then owing to the Investor under the Transaction Documents, through
the
date of payment in full of such repayment amount, or (B) the Event Equity Value
of the Underlying Shares that would be issuable upon conversion of such
principal amount and payment in Common Stock of all such accrued but unpaid
interest thereon (without regard to any condition precedent or conversion
limitation contained herein), plus an amount payable in cash of any liquidated
damages and other amounts payable pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The
aggregate amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to
as
the “Event
Price.”
The
Company shall pay the aggregate Event Price to the Investor (free of any claim
of subordination) no later than the third Trading Day following the date of
delivery of the Event Notice, and upon receipt thereof the Investor shall
deliver the original Note so repurchased to the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time or times following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, in lieu of electing to require the Company
to pay the aggregate Event Price in cash, the Investor may elect, by notice
to
the Company, to require the Company to convert all of the principal amount
of
this Note then outstanding, together with any accrued and unpaid interest
hereunder, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the Event
Equity Value.
(b) Upon
the
occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Company, all outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note and any unpaid liquidated
damages and other amounts then owing under the Transaction Documents shall
immediately become due and payable in full in Dollars in cash (free of any
claim
of subordination), without the requirement of delivery of any Event Notice
or
any other action by the Investor, and the Company shall immediately be obligated
to repurchase this Note held by such Investor at the Event Price pursuant to
the
preceding paragraph as if the Investor had delivered an Event Notice immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event.
14
(c) In
connection with any Event of Default, the Investor need not provide and the
Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind (other than the Event Notice if required hereunder), and the Investor
may
immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all
other remedies available to it under applicable law. Any such declaration
(including any Event Notice) may be rescinded and annulled by the Investor
(at
its sole discretion) at any time notwithstanding anything to the contrary which
may have been contained in such declaration prior to payment hereunder. Any
such
rescission, annulment, or waiver will not impair the Investors’ right to
subsequently declare a new declaration or Event Notice subsequent to a
rescission, annulment, or waiver. No such rescission or annulment shall affect
any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.
8. Ranking.
This
Note ranks pari passu with all other Notes now or hereafter issued pursuant
to
the Transaction Documents and senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company.
Except as may be permitted under Section 5.3 of the Purchase Agreement, the
Company will not, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume
or
suffer to exist any Indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect to any of
its
property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein
or
any income or profits therefrom, that is senior or pari passu in any respect
to
the Company's obligations under the Notes.
9. Reservation
of Underlying Shares.
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as
required hereunder, the number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable
and
deliverable upon the conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) this entire
Note (taking into account the adjustments of Section 10), free from preemptive
rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Investor. The Company covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly
and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
10. Certain
Adjustments.
The
Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this
Section 10.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend
on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital
stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in
each
such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares
of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective
date of such subdivision or combination.
15
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions.
If the
Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders
of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other
than
a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset
(in each case, “Distributed
Property”),
then,
at the request of the Investor delivered before the 90th day after the record
date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
distribution, the Company will deliver to the Investor, within five Trading
Days
after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution),
the Distributed Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive
in respect of the Underlying Shares for which this Note could have been
converted immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property
is
not delivered to the Investor pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon
any
conversion of this Note that occurs after such record date, the Investor shall
be entitled to receive, in addition to the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable
upon such conversion, the Distributed Property that the Investor would have
been
entitled to receive in respect of such number of Underlying Shares had the
Investor been the record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior
to
such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10(b) shall not
apply to any distribution of rights or securities in respect of adoption by
the
Company of a shareholder rights plan, which events shall be covered by Section
10(a).
(c) Fundamental
Transactions.
If, at
any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger
or
consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by
the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property,
or
(iv) the Company 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
as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered
by
Section 10(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then
the Investor shall have the right to: (x) declare an Event of Default pursuant
to clause (iii) thereunder, or (y) upon any subsequent conversion of this Note,
receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such
conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of
securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon
the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior
to
such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the
“Alternate
Consideration”)
or (z)
require the surviving entity to issue to the Investor an instrument identical
to
this Note (with an appropriate adjustment to the conversion price) such that
the
Investor may receive shares of the surviving company’s common stock. For
purposes of any such conversion, the Company shall apportion the Conversion
Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.
If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Investor shall
be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent
necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company
or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction (or, if different, the
ultimate parent of such successor or entity or the entity issuing the Alternate
Consideration) shall issue to the Investor a new debenture consistent with
the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Investor's right to convert such
debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant
to
which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any
such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this
paragraph (c) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security)
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
16
(d) Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(i) If
the
Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Note
is
outstanding, shall issue or enter into any agreement or understanding to issue
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to
acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Conversion
Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent 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 issued in connection with such issuance,
be
entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Conversion
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the
Conversion Price), then, the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced
to
mirror such lower price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the
Investor in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of
any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating
therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange
price, conversion price and other pricing terms, but failure to provide such
notice will not delay or affect the reduction of the Conversion Price. If,
while
this Note is outstanding, the Company enters into any understanding or agreement
to issue or sell securities, then notwithstanding the fact that such actual
issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents occurs after the term
of
the Note, such issuance will be treated as if it had occurred prior to the
expiration of the Note term.
(ii) For
purposes of this subsection 10(d), the following subsections (d)(ii)(l) to
(d)(ii)(6) shall also be applicable:
(1) Issuance
of Rights or Options.
In case
at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe
for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any
stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such
warrants, rights or options being called “Options”
and such
convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible
Securities”)
whether
or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible
Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion
or
exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum
(which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total
amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for
the
granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options,
plus
(z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue
or
sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof,
by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be
less
than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the
granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of
the
total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of
the
date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities
and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting
the
Conversion Price. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 10(d)(ii)(3),
no
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options
or
upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
17
(2) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
In case
the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a
merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the
rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum
shall
constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or
receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue
or
sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale
of
such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding
for
purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price, provided that (a) except as
otherwise provided in subsection 10(d)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issue or
sale
of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such
Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been
made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 11(d).
(3) Change
in Option Price or Conversion Rate.
Upon
the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price
provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 10(d)(ii)(l) hereof, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of
any
Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 10(d)(ii)(l) or 10(d)(ii)(2),
or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections
10(d)(ii)(l) or 10(d)(ii)(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under
or
by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion
Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to
the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase
price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the
time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for
which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 10(d) or any right
to
convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made
pursuant to this subsection 10(d) (including without limitation upon the
redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by
the
Company), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be
changed to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time
of
such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent
outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been
issued.
18
(4) Stock
Dividends.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 10(d), in case the Company shall declare
a
dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other
than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be
deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
(5) Consideration
for Stock.
In case
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued
or
sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
net
amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any
expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed
by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by
the
Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of
any
expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed
by the Company in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued
in
connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed
to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith,
other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional
Rights”)
are
issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company
shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method
mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor). The Board of Directors
of
the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Investors
as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the
Board of Directors of the Company and the Investors are unable to agree upon
the
fair market value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Investors shall
jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision
of
such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser
shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Investor.
(6) Record
Date.
In case
the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such
record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares
of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting
of
such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
19
(iii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this paragraph (d) in respect
of: (1) the issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any Common
Stock Equivalents issued by the Company prior to the Original Issue Date of
this
Note (but will apply to any amendments, modifications, and reissuances thereof
and as a result of any changes, resets or adjustments to a conversion or
exchange price thereunder whether or not as a result of any amendment,
modification or reissuance), or (2) the grant of options or warrants, or the
issuance of additional securities, under any duly authorized Company stock
option, stock incentive plan, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan
whether now existing or hereafter approved by the Company and its stockholders
(as applicable) in the future (but not as to any amendments or other
modifications of the exercise price set forth therein) and the issuance of
Common Stock in respect thereof.
(e) Reclassifications;
Share Exchanges.
In case
of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash
or
property (other than compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change of
Control transactions), the Investors of the Notes then outstanding shall have
the right thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and
other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by
holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange,
and
the Investors shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of
securities, cash or property as a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock
of the Company into which such shares of Notes could have been converted
immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been
entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications
or share exchanges.
(f) Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
for
the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Notice
of Adjustments.
Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 10, the Company
at
its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms
hereof and prepare a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment
and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such
adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver
a
copy of each such certificate to the Investor.
(h) Notice
of Corporate Events.
If the
Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities
or
other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation
any
granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock
of
the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes and publicly approves, or enters
into any agreement contemplating or solicits shareholder approval for any
Fundamental Transaction or (iii) publicly authorizes the voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall
deliver to the Investor a notice describing the material terms and conditions
of
such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record
or
effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will
take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Investor is
given the practical opportunity to convert this Note prior to such time so
as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however,
that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
20
11. Fractional
Shares.
The
Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional
Underlying Shares on conversion of this Note. If any fraction of an Underlying
Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon
conversion of this Note or payment of interest hereon, the number of Underlying
Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
12. Investor
Put Option.
For a
period of thirty (30) days following the two year anniversary of the Original
Issue Date, an Investor may elect to require the Company to repay the Investor,
in immediately available funds, 100% of the then outstanding principal amount,
plus all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts, due or accrued under
this Note, on the date that is the fifth Trading Day after written notice
thereof (a “Put
Notice”)
is
delivered by the Investor to the Company (such fifth Trading Day shall be known
as the “Put
Date”).
An
Investor may rescind a Put Notice prior to receipt of payment thereunder. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered
from the time of delivery of the Put Notice through 6:30 p.m. on the Trading
Day
prior to the Put Date.
13. Notices.

all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without
limitation any Conversion Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given

14. Miscellaneous.
(a) This
Note
shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.
21
(b) Subject
to Section 14(a), above, nothing in this Note shall be construed to give to
any
person or corporation other than the Company and the Investor any legal or
equitable right, remedy or cause under this Note. This Note shall inure to
the
sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Investor.
(c) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with
the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles
of
conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings shall be
commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
New
York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New
York Courts”).
Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
New
York Courts for any Proceeding, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to
assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any New York Court or that a New York Court is an inconvenient
forum for such Proceeding. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted
by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal
Proceeding. The prevailing party in a Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the
other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
Proceeding.
(d) The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Note
and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
(e) In
case
any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall be invalid or unenforceable
in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and
provisions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
and
the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable
provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and
upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this
Note.
(f) No
provision of this Note may be waived or amended except (i) in accordance with
the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) in a written
instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Investor
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such
waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Note shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver
in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission
of
either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise
of any such right.
22
(g) To
the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon
or
plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
to
be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action
or
Proceeding that may be brought by any Investor in order to enforce any right
or
remedy under the Notes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
in the Notes, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability
of
the Company under the Notes for payments in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the
nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Notes
exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of
interest allowed by law and applicable to the Notes is increased or decreased
by
statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof,
the
new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate
of
interest applicable to the Notes from the effective date forward, unless such
application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances
whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to
any
Investor with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, such excess shall
be applied by such Investor to the unpaid principal balance of any such
indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess
to be at such Investor’s election.
15. Transferability
of Warrants.
The
Warrants are separate and detachable from this Note. Neither a forced conversion
nor a redemption of this Note shall have any effect on the
Warrants.
16. Dispute
Resolution.
(a) If
any
dispute between the Company and the Investor as to the arithmetic calculation
of
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion hereunder
shall arise, then such dispute shall promptly thereafter be submitted for
resolution to an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing
selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Investor, and the
written determination of such independent accounting firm with respect to that
particular dispute shall be final and conclusive. The Company shall endeavor
to
cause such independent accounting firm to render such determination as promptly
as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days
following the day such independent accounting firm receives the dispute for
resolution. The reasonable fees and expenses of such independent accounting
firm
in making its determination shall be paid by the Company; provided,
however,
that in
the event that such independent accounting firm concurs with the Company in
its
determination, the fees and expenses of such independent accounting firm shall
be paid by the Investor.
(b) If
any
dispute between the Company and the Investor as to the occurrence of a
subsequent issuance or other event which would trigger an adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10 hereof or as to any applicable adjusted
value of the Conversion Price shall arise, then such dispute shall promptly
thereafter be submitted for resolution to an independent law firm of recognized
national standing selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the
Investor, and the written determination of such law firm with respect to that
particular dispute shall be final and conclusive. The Company shall endeavor
to
cause such law firm to render such determination as promptly as reasonably
practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the
day
such law firm receives the dispute for resolution. The reasonable fees and
expenses of such law firm in making its determination shall be paid by the
Company; provided,
however,
that in
the event that such law firm concurs with the Company in its determination,
the
fees and expenses of such law firm shall be paid by the Investor.
