2. Conversion.
(a) Automatic
Conversion. The
outstanding principal amount of this Note shall automatically convert into
shares of Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) the
Maturity Date; or
(ii) subject
to Section
2(f)
below,
the date upon which the closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Market

or more
on each Trading Day during a period of 60 consecutive calendar days preceding
such date.
Upon
such
conversion of this Note, the Investor hereby agrees to deliver the original
of
this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost,
stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the
holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in
connection with this Note) for cancellation; provided,
however,
that
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2(a),
this
Note shall be deemed converted and
-
2
-
of
no
further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as
set
forth in this sentence.
(b) Optional
Conversion. Subject
to Sections
2(d) and 2(e)
below,
if this Note has not been converted pursuant to Section
2(a),
then
all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal amount of this Note
shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Investor
any time before the Maturity Date. Before the Investor shall be entitled to
convert this Note into shares of Common Stock under this Section
2(b),
the
Investor shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company
and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office,
of the election to convert the same pursuant to this Section
2(b),
and
shall state the name in which the certificate for shares of Common Stock are
to
be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver at such office to Investor a certificate for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which Investor shall be entitled upon conversion (bearing such
legends as are required by the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and
applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the
Company) and any other securities and property to which Investor is entitled
upon such conversion under the terms of this Note. The conversion shall be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the
date
of the surrender of this Note, and the Person entitled to receive the shares
of
Common Stock upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
(c) Conversion
Calculation.
The
number of shares of Common Stock the Investor is entitled to receive upon
conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section
2
shall be
determined as follows:
(i) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section
2(c)(ii),
the
Investor shall receive such number of shares of Common Stock as determined
by
the following formula (the “Base
Amount”):
A/10,000,000*4,333,333
where:
A
= the
principal amount of this Note.
For
example, for a Note with a principal amount of $5,000,000, the Investor would
receive 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock calculated as follows:
|
Investment
amount
|
$
|
5,000,000
|
||
|
Divided
by total investment

$
|
10,000,000

|
Shares
issued for $5MM investment

(ii)
If this
Note is converted on the Maturity Date and the average closing price of the
Common Stock on the Trading Market it is listed or quoted on during the ten
(10)
Trading Days ending three (3) days before the date of conversion (the
“Adjusted
Closing Price”)
is less
than $3.00 (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
3 and
subject to Section 2(f)),
then
the Investor shall receive such number of shares of Common Stock as determined
by the following formula:
A*3/(B*.70)
where:
A
= the
Base Amount; and
B
= the
Adjusted Closing Price.
For
example, if the Adjusted Closing Price is $2.95, the Investor would receive
3,147,700 shares of Common Stock calculated as follows:
|
Base
Amount
|
2,166,667
|
|||
|
Multiplied
by 3
|
3.00

Divided
by 70% of the Adjusted Closing Price

of
this Note shall be due and payable immediately in cash plus accrued and

of Default. If
an
Event of Default shall occur, then at the election of the Investor, upon a

(where
“B” equals the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the Event of

interest at the rate of 25% per annum, compounded on an annual basis,
shall become due and payable immediately in cash.
(f) Price

(i) In
case
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of the
directors or officers of the Company or their Affiliates, purchase shares
of Common Stock of the Company or cause others to purchase shares of Common
Stock of the Company and, during the next full three (3) Trading Days
following any such purchase the stock price rises above $3.00 per
share, then principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable

50% per annum, compounded on an annual basis.

Investor, or over which the Investor has dispositive control, (A) more than
two (2) times every three (3) months or more than seven (7) times in the
aggregate during the period beginning on the Initial Closing Date and ending
on
the Maturity Date, or (B) in blocks of less than 250,000 shares of Common Stock
per sale, then this Note will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock

the three (3) months immediately prior to the Maturity Date, if the Investor
sells shares of Common Stock and, during the next full three (3) Trading Days
following any such sale the trading price of the Common Stock falls below the
trading price of the Common Stock immediately prior to such sale (the
“Pre-Sale
Trading Price”),
and
the Pre-Sale Trading Price is less than $3.00, then this Note will automatically
convert into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the formula set forth in
Section
2(c)(ii)
(where
“B” equals the Pre-Sale Trading Price); provided, however, if the Pre-Sale
Trading Price is $3.00 or more, then this Note will automatically convert into
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the formula set forth in Section

hereof fixes a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of
any
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of any shares
of Common Stock entitled to receive a distribution without payment of any
consideration by such holder, then, as of such record date (or the date of
such
