ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
RIGHTS
The
Holder shall have the right to convert the principal due under this Note into
Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Common
Stock”) as set forth below.
2.1. Conversion
into the Borrower's 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 interest, at the election
of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a
"Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable 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 (the
"Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the
Borrower of a Notice of Conversion as described in Section 6 of 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
(“Delivery 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 Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note in the manner
provided in Section 1.3 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 and interest
to be converted, by the Conversion Price.
(b) Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per
share shall be the lesser of (i) $.09 (“Maximum Base Price”) or (ii) eighty-five
(85%) of the average of the closing bid prices for the fifteen (15) trading
days
prior to but not including the Conversion Date for the Common Stock on the
OTC
Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market
System, American Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange, as applicable,
or
if not then trading on any of the foregoing, such other principal market or
exchange where the Common Stock is listed or traded (whichever of the foregoing
is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock,
the “Principal Market”). Closing bid price shall mean the last closing bid price
as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The Conversion Price described in Section 2.1
(b)
(ii) above may be employed by the Holder at any time after the closing price
of
the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market is
less
than $0.09 for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days.
(c) The
Maximum Base 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:
X. Xxxxxx,
Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or
merge
into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other
corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued
interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase
such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have
been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale
or
conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion
or
purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive
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 consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
2
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, 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. Share
Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue
any
Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement), prior to the complete conversion of this Note for a consideration
less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such
issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Conversion
Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this
adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower
carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common
Stock
or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in
an
adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described
security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option. The reduction of the
Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights
of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.
E. For
purposes of Section 2.1(c)(D) above, Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean the Fair
Market Value of a share of the Borrower's Common Stock. Fair Market Value of
a
share of Common Stock as of a Determination Date shall mean:
(i) If
the
Borrower's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National
Market System, the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or the American Stock Exchange, Inc.,
then the closing or last sale price, respectively, reported for the last
business day immediately preceding the Determination Date.
(ii) If
the
Borrower's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National
Market System, the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or the American Stock Exchange, Inc.,
but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the mean of the closing
bid
and asked prices reported for the last business day immediately preceding the
Determination Date.
3
(iii) Except
as
provided in clause (iv) below, if the Borrower's Common Stock is not
publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Borrower agree or in the absence
of
agreement by arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the
American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from
a
panel of persons qualified by education and training to pass on the matter
to be
decided.
(iv) If
the
Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
or
any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to
the
Borrower's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of
the
Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in
respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for
the
purposes of this clause (iv) that all of the shares of Common Stock
then
issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the
Determination Date.
(d) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower
shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion
Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.
(e) During
the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide
for the issuance of Common Stock 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. Xxxxxxxx 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.
(f) The
terms
of this Note are modifiable by the Holder pursuant to but not limited to Section
12(c) of the Subscription Agreement.
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.
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 9.99% of the outstanding shares of 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 only 9.99% and aggregate
conversion by the Holder may exceed 9.99%. The Holder shall have the authority
and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section
2.3 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. The Holder may void the conversion
limitation described in this Section 2.3 upon and effective after 61 days prior
written notice to the Borrower. The Holder may allocate which of the equity
of
the Borrower deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be included in the
9.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
9.99%.
