ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
RIGHTS
The
Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under
this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, no 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. The Borrower shall have
the
option from and after the date of issuance of this Note and then at any time
until this Note is fully paid, to convert any accrued interest into fully paid
non-assessable registered shares of Common Stock valued at 85% of the average
of
the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the five trading days
ending the day prior to a payment date. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a
completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto, Borrower
shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days after
the
Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of shares
of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the
foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued
but
unpaid interest on the Note, if any, 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, if any, 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 equal to [a
number equal to $12,000,000 pre-money valuation on a fully diluted
basis].
(c)
The
Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued
upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this
conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
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. This subsection does not
preclude the sale of the assets and the rights of the DVD and Video
business.
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 that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid
principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be
deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities
and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change
with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification
or
other change.
C. Stock
Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided
or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or
if a
dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or
stock
dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares,
in
each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares
of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event..
D. Share
Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue
or
agree to issue any shares of Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances
(as
defined in the Subscription Agreement) for a consideration less than the
Conversion Price 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 carrying the right to convert such security into shares of 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 and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of
such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than
the
then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price
described in this paragraph is in addition to other rights of the Holder
described in this Note and the Subscription Agreement.
(d) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower
shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a 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 not less than an amount of Common Stock
equal to 150% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full
conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 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.
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.
3
2.3 Optional
Redemption of Principal Amount.
Provided an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or
the
giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, whether
or
not such Event of Default has been cured, the Borrower will have the option
of
prepaying the outstanding Principal amount of this Note ("Optional Redemption"),
in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred
and twenty percent (120%) of the Principal amount to be redeemed, together
with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued
or
payable to the Holder arising under this Note or any Transaction Document
through the Redemption Payment Date as defined below (the "Redemption Amount").
Xxxxxxxx’s election to exercise its right to prepay must be by notice in writing
(“Notice of Redemption”). The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for
such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption Payment Date"), which date shall
be
thirty (30) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the
"Redemption Period"). Conversions will not be permitted if the Redemption
Payment Date is fewer than five business days after notice by the Company.
A
Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of
the
Principal Amount for which the Holder has a pending election to convert, or
for
conversions initiated or made by the Holder during the Redemption Period. On
the
Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount, less any portion of the
Redemption Amount against which the Holder has exercised its conversion rights,
shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails
to
pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein,
then (i) such Notice of Redemption will be null and void, (ii) Borrower will
have no right to deliver another Notice of Redemption, and (iii) Borrower’s
failure may be deemed by Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default. A
Redemption Notice may be given only at a time a Registration Statement is
effective. A Notice of Redemption may not be given nor may the Borrower
effectuate a Redemption without the consent of the Holder, if at any time during
the Redemption Period an Event of Default or an Event which with the passage
of
time or giving of notice could become an Event of Default (whether or not such
Event of Default has been cured), has occurred or the Registration Statement
registering the Registrable Securities is not effective each day during the
Redemption Period.
2.4 Maximum
Conversion.
The
Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of
the
Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be
in
excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned
by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock
issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii)
the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with
respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a
Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and
its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of 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 be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversion
by the Holder may not exceed 4.99%. 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.

Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay.
This
Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for
the
benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower
to Holder. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or
if
any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become
the
subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should
be
entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the
Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder
are parties (collectively, "Loan Documents") and/or applicable law, an order
from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to

initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any
opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder. The Borrower
represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and
material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree

this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity
to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in
the
making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower
and
that the Borrower has discussed this waiver with counsel.
