interest hereon, on June 25, 2007 (the "Maturity Date") if not sooner paid.
The original principal amount of this Note subject to amortizing payments
pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof is hereinafter referred to as the "Amortizing
Principal Amount" and the remaining original principal amount of this Note is
hereinafter referred to as the "Non-Amortizing Principal Xxxxxx."
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as
of the date hereof between the Borrower and the Holder (the "Purchase
Agreement").
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
INTEREST & AMORTIZATION
1.1 (a) Interest Rate. Subject to Sections 1.1(b), 4.12 and 5.6 hereof,
interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the "Interest
Rate") equal to the "prime rate" published in The Wall Street Journal from
time to time, plus two percent (2.0%). The prime rate shall be increased or
decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the prime rate
in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the prime rate; each change
to be effective as of the day of the change in such rate. Subject to Section
1.1(b) hereof, the Interest Rate shall not be less than six percent (6.0%).
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. Interest shall
accrue but not be payable during the period commencing on the date hereof and
ending on July 31, 2004. Commencing on August 1, 2004, interest on the
outstanding principal amount of this Note (the "Principal Amount") shall be
payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on August 1, 2004 and on the first
business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter (each, a "Repayment
Date") and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise;
provided that, in the event that the portion of the Monthly Amount consisting
of interest accrued on the Non-Amortizing Principal Amount (the
"Non-Amortizing Interest") cannot be converted into Common Stock by virtue of
the conversion limitations set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 3.2 of this
Note, such Non-Amortizing Interest that cannot be converted shall be deemed to
accrue and not be due until the first business day of the next succeeding
calendar month.
1.1 (b) Interest Rate Adjustment. The Interest Rate shall be subject
to adjustment on the last business day of each month hereafter until the
Maturity Date (each a "Determination Date"). If on any Determination Date (i)
the Borrower shall have registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), the shares of Common Stock underlying each of
the conversion of this Note and the exercise of the Warrant issued on a
registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), and (ii) the market price (the "Market Price") of the
Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market (as
defined below) for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding
such Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by
at least twenty five percent (25%), the Interest Rate for the succeeding
calendar month shall automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.)
(2.0%) for each incremental twenty five percent (25%) increase in the Market
Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.
If on any Determination Date (i) the Borrower shall not have registered under
the Securities Act the shares of Common Stock underlying the conversion of
this Note and the exercise of the Warrant on a registration statement declared
effective by the SEC or the Borrower shall have registered such shares under
the Securities Act but on such Determination Date the related registration
statement is not effective, and (ii) the Market Price of the Common Stock as
reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5)
consecutive trading days immediately preceding such Determination Date exceeds
the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty five percent
(25%), the Interest Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically
be decreased by 100 basis points (100 b.p.) (1.0.%) for each incremental
twenty five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock
above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing (and anything to the contrary contained in herein), in no event
shall the Interest Rate be less than zero percent (0%).
1.2 Minimum Monthly Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the
outstanding principal amount of this Note not contained in the Restricted
Account (as defined in the Restricted Account Agreement) shall begin on
October 1, 2004 and shall recur on each succeeding Repayment Date thereafter
until the Amortizing Principal Amount has been repaid in full, whether by the
payment of cash or by the conversion of such principal into Common Stock
pursuant to the terms hereof. Subject to Section 2.1 and Article 3 below, on
each Repayment Date, the Borrower shall make payments to the Holder in the
amount of $53,030.30 (as adjusted pursuant to the following proviso, the
"Monthly Principal Amount"), together with any accrued and unpaid interest
then due on such portion of the Amortizing Principal Amount plus any and all
other amounts which are then owing under this Note that have not been paid
(the Monthly Principal Amount, together with such accrued and unpaid interest
and such other amounts, collectively, the "Monthly Amount"); provided that,
following a release of an amount of funds from the Restricted Account (as
defined in the Restricted Account Agreement) for the purposes set forth in the
Restricted Account Side Letter (other than with respect to a release that
occurs as a result of a conversion of any Principal Amount) (each, a "Release
Amount") each Monthly Principal Amount due on any Repayment Date following any
such release shall be increased by an amount equal to (x) such Release Amount
divided by (y) the sum of (I) the number of Repayment Dates remaining until
the Maturity Date plus (II) one (1). Any Principal Amount that remains
outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION REPAYMENT
2.1 (a) Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock. Not
later than the fifth (5th) business day prior to each Repayment Date (the
"Notice Date"), the Holder may deliver to Borrower a written notice in the
form of Exhibit B attached hereto directing the Borrower to pay the Monthly
Amount payable on the next Repayment Date in either cash or Common Stock, or a
combination of both (each, a "Repayment Notice"). If a Repayment Notice is
not delivered by the Holder on or before the applicable Notice Date for such
Repayment Date, then, subject to Section 2.1(b), the Borrower shall pay the
Monthly Amount due on such Repayment Date in cash. In the event the Borrower
shall be required to pay any portion of the Monthly Amount in cash, the
Borrower shall pay to the Holder in respect to such payment an amount equal to
102% of such Monthly Amount. If the Holder elects to convert all or a portion
of any Monthly Amount into shares of Common Stock as provided herein, the
number of such shares to be issued by the Borrower to the Holder on such
Repayment Date shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the portion of
the Monthly Amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, by (y) the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, the initial "Fixed
Conversion Price" means $0.66.
(b) Monthly Amount Conversion Guidelines. Subject to Sections
2.1(a), 2.2, and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert all or a portion of
the Monthly Amount due on each Repayment Date in shares of Common Stock if
the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.
on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding
such Repayment Date was greater than or equal to 110% of the Fixed Conversion
Price, provided, however, that such conversions shall not exceed twenty five
percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for
the five (5) day trading period immediately preceding delivery of a Notice of
Conversion to the Borrower. Any part of the Monthly Amount due on a
Repayment Date that the Holder has not converted into shares of Common Stock
shall be paid by the Borrower in cash on such Repayment Date. Any part of the
Monthly Amount due on such Repayment Date which must be paid in cash shall be
paid in cash at the rate of 102% of the Monthly Amount otherwise due on such
Repayment Date, within three (3) business days of the applicable Repayment
Date.
(c) Application of Conversion Amounts. Any amounts converted
by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to constitute
payments of, or applied against, (i) first, outstanding fees, (ii) second,
accrued interest on the Amortizing Principal Xxxxxx, (iii) third, accrued
interest on the Non-Amortizing Principal Xxxxxx and (iv) fourth, the
Amortizing Principal Xxxxxx.
2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder may be converted into Common
Stock unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the shares of Common
Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations exists, or (ii) an
exemption from registration of the Common Stock is available pursuant to Rule
144 of the Securities Act, and (b) no Event of Default hereunder exists and is
continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure
period or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at
the Holder's option.
2.3 Optional Redemption of Amortizing Principal Amount. The Borrower
will have the option of prepaying the outstanding Amortizing Principal Amount
("Optional Amortizing Redemption"), in whole or in part, by paying to the
Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the
Amortizing 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, the Purchase Agreement or any Related
Agreement (the "Amortizing Redemption Amount") on the day written notice of
redemption (the "Notice of Amortizing Redemption") is given to the Holder.
The Notice of Amortizing Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional
Amortizing Redemption (the "Amortizing Redemption Payment Date"), which date
shall be not less than seven (7) business days after the date of the Notice of
Amortizing Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Amortizing
Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of the
Amortizing Principal Amount for which the Holder has a pending election to
convert pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions initiated or made by the
Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period. The Amortizing
Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such Xxxxxx's conversion elections
had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Amortizing
Redemption. On the Amortizing Redemption Payment Date, the Amortizing
Redemption Amount shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the
Borrower fails to pay the Amortizing Redemption Amount on the Amortizing
Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Notice of Amortizing
Redemption will be null and void.
2.4 Optional Redemption of Non-Amortizing Principal Amount. The
Borrower will have the option of repaying the outstanding Non-Amortizing
Principal Amount ("Optional Non-Amortizing Redemption"), in whole or in part,
by paying the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of the Non-Amortizing Principal Amount to be redeemed, together with accrued
but unpaid interest thereon (the "Non-Amortizing Redemption Amount") on the
day written notice of redemption (the "Notice of Non-Amortizing Redemption")
is giving to the Holder. The Notice of Non-Amortizing Redemption shall
specify the date for such Optional Non-Amortizing Redemption (the
"Non-Amortizing Redemption Date"), which date shall be not less than seven (7)
business days after the date of the Notice of Non-Amortizing Redemption (the
"Non-Amortizing Redemption Period"). A Notice of Non-Amortizing Redemption
shall not be effective with respect to any portion of the Non-Amortizing
Principal Amount for which the Holder has a pending election to convert
pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions initiated or made by the Holder
pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Non-Amortizing Redemption Period. The
Non-Amortizing Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the Holder's
conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the
Notice of Non-Amortizing Redemption. On the Non-Amortizing Redemption Date,
the Non-Amortizing Redemption Amount shall be paid (i) in good funds to the
Holder, (ii) by furnishing the Holder written direction to notify the bank
holding the Restricted Account to release from the Restricted Account and
deliver to the Holder a sum of money equal to the Non-Amortizing Redemption
Amount, or (iii) if the amount on deposit in the Restricted Account is less
than the Non-Amortizing Redemption Amount, by furnishing the Holder written
direction to notify the bank holding the Restricted Account to release all
amounts on deposit in the Restricted Account to the Holder and delivering to
the Holder good funds in an amount equal to the balance of the Non-Amortizing
Redemption Amount.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1. Holder's Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 2.2, the Holder
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of
the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with
interest and fees due hereon, into shares of Common Stock, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Article III. The Holder may exercise
such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion
pursuant to Section 3.3.
3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the
terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of
Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or issuable upon
exercise of Warrants held by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Holder may void the
Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2 upon 75 days prior
notice to the Borrower or without any notice requirement upon an Event of
Default.
3.3 Mechanics of Xxxxxx's Conversion. (a) In the event that the
Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give
notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of
conversion ("Notice of Conversion") to the Borrower and such Notice of
Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal
Amount, accrued interest and fees being converted. On each Conversion Date
(as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the
Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued
interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice
thereof to the Borrower within two (2) business days after the Conversion
Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to
the Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a
Conversion Date (the "Conversion Date"). A form of Notice of Conversion to be
employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower
will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of
counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Borrower of
the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the
certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust
Corporation ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC")
system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the
Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). In the case of the exercise of
the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be
deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such
conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the
Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides
the Borrower written instructions to the contrary.
3.4 Conversion Mechanics.
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article III shall be determined by
dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be
converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. In the
event of any conversions of outstanding obligations under this Note in part
pursuant to this Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute
conversions (i) first, of the Monthly Amount for the current calendar month,
(ii) then of the accrued interest on the Non-Amortizing Principal Xxxxxx,
(iii) then, of outstanding Non-Amortizing Principal Amount and (iv) after the
Non-Amortizing Principal Amount has been paid in full, of outstanding
Amortizing Principal Amount by applying the conversion amount to Monthly
Amounts for the remaining Repayment Dates in chronological order.
(b) The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or
other securities to be issued upon conversion is subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
A. 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 Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion Price, as the
case may be, 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.
B. During the period the conversion right exists, the
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. The Borrower represents that upon issuance,
such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The Borrower 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.
C. Share Issuances. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 3.4, if the Borrower shall at any time prior to the conversion or
repayment in full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock to a person other than the Holder
(except (i) pursuant to Subsections A or B above; (ii) pursuant to options,
warrants or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof
as disclosed to Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be
issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock
option plan adopted by the Borrower) for a consideration per share (the "Offer
Price") less than the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such
issuance, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be immediately reset to such
lower Offer Price at the time of issuance of such securities.
D. 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 Amount 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.
3.5 Issuance of Replacement Note. Upon any partial conversion of
this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this
Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to
the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued
interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the
provisions of Article IV, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other
consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a replacement
Note.
ARTICLE IV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default beyond any
applicable grace period, the Holder may make all sums of principal, interest
and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable

within five (5) days after written notice from Holder to Borrower (each
occurrence being a "Default Notice Period") the amount due and owing to the
Holder shall be 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note (plus
accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any) (the "Default Payment"). If,
with respect to any Event of Default, the Borrower cures the Event of Default
within any applicable grace period, the Event of Default will be deemed to no
longer exist and any rights and remedies of Holder pertaining to such Event of
Default will be of no further force or effect. The Default Payment shall be

the Related Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the Note

other term or condition of this Note or the Purchase Agreement in any material

4.3 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or
warranty made by the Borrower in this Note or the Purchase Agreement, or by

Principal Market within sixty (60) days of such notice. The "Principal
Market" for the Common Stock shall include the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ

principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, or any securities
exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being
listed or traded.
4.8 Failure to Deliver Common Stock or Replacement Note. The Borrower
shall fail (i) to timely deliver Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to and in
the form required by this Note, and Section 9 of the Purchase Agreement, if
such failure to timely deliver Common Stock shall not be cured within two (2)
business days or (ii) to deliver a replacement Note to Holder within seven (7)
business days following the required date of such issuance pursuant to this
Note, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement (to the extent required
