|
H.
|
Accordingly, this Agreement is made for the purpose, among others, of allowing the Investor, at its option and in its sole discretion as it may elect from time to time, to exchange all or part of the Outstanding Balance of the Purchased Debt for the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”).
|
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:
i.
|
INVESTOR ELECTION TO EXCHANGE. From time to time the Investor may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exchange all or a portion of the Outstanding Balance to Common Stock; provided, however, that (i) Investor may not elect to convert less than $5,000 of Purchased Debt at any given time, and (ii) at any given time the Investor shall not beneficially own more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company. This limitation, however, shall not prevent the Investor from eventually converting all of the Purchased Debt into Common Stock.
|
ii.
|
CONVERSION PRICE. The Investor may convert the Purchased Debt at a price per share equal to fifty percent (50.0%) of the lowest of the five closing bid prices (“Closing Bid Price”), as reported on Bloomberg, of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to conversion (the “Conversion Price”).
|
iii.
|
CONVERSION NOTICE. The Investor shall provide notice to the Company of its intent to convert a given portion of the Purchased Debt by delivering to the Company a Conversion Notice, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately, but in no event later than three days after receipt, deliver the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Conversion Notice to the account specified by the Investor on the Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all such deliveries of shares shall be electronic, via DWAC or DTC. In the event the Company fails to deliver said shares within three days of receipt of the Conversion Notice, a penalty equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) of the Conversion Amount shall be added to the balance of the Purchased Debt per day. The amount of the Purchased Debt that Investor elects to convert on a Conversion Notice is defined as the “Conversion Amount.”
|
4. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The certificates, if applicable, in due and proper form, representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued to Investor will bear a legend substantially in the following form:
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.”

5. INVESTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Investor hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:
(a) Investor is acquiring the Common Stock for Investor’s own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such Securities.
(b) Investor acknowledges its understanding that the issuance of the Common Stock is intended to be exempt from registration under the Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the provisions of Regulation D thereunder.

(f) Investor represents, warrants and agrees that Investor will not sell or otherwise transfer the Common Stock unless registered under the Act or in reliance upon an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that Investor must bear the economic risk of his purchase for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Common Stock or underlying securities have not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of certain states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available.
