All

upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof),
then to the extent permitted by law, the Maker will pay interest in cash to
the
Holder, payable on demand, on the outstanding principal balance of the Note
from
the date of the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the
rate of the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) and the maximum applicable legal

In
the event
Maker fails to maintain the foregoing minimum Adjusted EBITDA, then the per
annum interest rate on the unpaid principal balance of this Note then in effect
shall increase by 200 basis points, and such increase will be cumulative for
each subsequent breach; provided, however, that the per annum interest rate
shall revert to the interest rate as determined in accordance with Section
1.2
hereof in the event the Maker achieves or exceeds the cumulative minimum
Adjusted EBITDA for the period commencing on January 1, 2008 through any
subsequent determination date. Failure to maintain the foregoing minimum
Adjusted EBITDA shall not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in Section
2.1 hereof). For purposes of this Note, “Adjusted
EBITDA”
shall
mean, for any period, the sum of the amounts (as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals, consistently applied) for such period
of (i) net income or loss before dividends, plus (ii) charges for foreign,
federal, state and local taxes as computed on the Maker’s income tax returns,
plus (iii) interest expense, plus (iv) depreciation, plus (v) amortization
expense, including, without limitation, amortization of goodwill and other
intangible assets and amortization of stock based compensation expense, plus
(vi) extraordinary losses, plus (vii) charges related to any financing
consummated on or prior to the Issuance Date, plus (viii) the cost of any
beneficial conversion feature of any outstanding security of the Maker, plus
(ix) the cost of any accretion of discounts minus (x) interest income, minus
(xi) extraordinary gains, and (xii) such other adjustments to eliminate the
impact of any derivative financial instruments (e.g., add back increases in
fair
value of derivative financial instruments and subtract decreases in fair value
of derivative financial instruments). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Holder is an Insider Purchaser (as defined in, and listed on,
Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement), then this Section 1.7 shall not apply
and
shall have no force or effect.

Section
2.2 Remedies
Upon An Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
shall be continuing, the Holder of this Note may at any time at its option,
(a)
pursuant to Section 3.7(a) hereof, declare the entire unpaid principal balance
of this Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, due and payable, and
thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby expressly
unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Maker; provided, however, that
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in (i) Sections 2.1(h)
or
(i), the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest hereunder shall
be
automatically due and payable and (ii) Sections 2.1(a)-(g) and (j)-(l), the
Holder may demand the prepayment of this Note pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof,
(b) demand that the principal amount of this Note then outstanding and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be converted into shares of Common
Stock at a Conversion Price per share calculated pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof
assuming that the date that the Event of Default occurs is the Conversion Date
(as defined in Section 3.1 hereof), or (c) exercise or otherwise enforce any
one
or more of the Holder's rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests
under
this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or
applicable law. No course of delay on the part of the Holder shall operate
as a
waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the right of the Holder. No remedy
conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein
or
now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise.

ARTICLE
III
CONVERSION;
ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT
Section
3.1 Conversion.
(a) Optional
Conversion.
At any
time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole
or
in part), at the option of the Holder (the "Conversion
Option"),
into
such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the
"Conversion
Rate")
as is
determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance
plus any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of such date that the
Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section
3.2(a) hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice
of
conversion (the "Conversion
Notice"),
duly
executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (000) 000-0000, Attn.: Chief Executive
Officer, with a copy to facsimile number 000-000-0000, Attn.: General Counsel)
(the “Optional
Conversion Date”),
provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment
as
described in Section 3.6 below. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker
at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this
Note
is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker
shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each
Conversion Date.
(b) Mandatory
Conversion.
On the
Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below), this Note shall automatically
and
without any action on the part of the Holder, convert into such number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing
(x)
that portion of the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid
interest under this Note as of the Mandatory Conversion Date by (y) the
Conversion Price then in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date, provided,
however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described
in Section 3.6 below. As used herein, "Mandatory Conversion Date" shall be
the
first date that the Closing Bid Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock
exceeds $1.25 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations
and
similar transactions) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days. The Mandatory
Conversion Date and the Voluntary Conversion Date collectively are referred
to
in this Note as the "Conversion Date". Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, the Note shall automatically convert pursuant to this Section 3.1(b)
only if (1) the Registration Statement is effective and has been effective,
without lapse or suspension of any kind, for such twenty (20) consecutive
trading day period, (2) trading in the Common Stock shall not have been
suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the OTC Bulletin Board
(or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading), and (3)
the
Maker is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note
and
the other Transaction Documents. The term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean, on
any
particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock
on
such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock
exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price
on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or quotation
system on the date nearest preceding such date.
6
Section
3.2 Conversion
Price.
(a) The
term
"Conversion
Price"
shall
mean $0.50, subject to adjustment under Section 3.6 hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period after the Maker
is
obligated to file the registration statement under the Registration Rights
Agreement (a "Black-out
Period"),
a
Holder is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion
of
this Note immediately due to the postponement of filing or delay or suspension
of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or because the Maker has
otherwise informed such Holder that an existing prospectus cannot be used at
that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such
postponement, delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used
is
not due to factors solely within the control of the Holder of this Note or
due
to the Maker exercising its rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights
Agreement), such Holder shall have the option but not the obligation on any
Conversion Date within ten (10) Trading Days following the expiration of the
Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion
Date or any Conversion Price selected by such Holder that would have been
applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the
Black-out Period or within the ten (10) Trading Days thereafter. In no event
shall the Black-out Period have any effect on the Maturity Date of this Note.
Section
3.3 Mechanics
of Conversion.
(a) Not
later
than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker or its
designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (“DWAC”)
as
specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or
its
designee, such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled. In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any
Conversion Date, the Maker shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express
courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 5.1 of the
Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “Delivery
Date”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Maker or its transfer agent
shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the
Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such
conversion is in connection with a sale. If in the case of any Conversion Notice
such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the
applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written
notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate
or
certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker
shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker
and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts
described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice
of
rescission is given to the Maker.
7
(b) The
Maker
understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss
to the Holder. Subject to Section 3.3(d) hereof, if the Maker fails to deliver
to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant
to
this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder,
in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are
delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered, together with interest on
such
amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued
interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for the first
five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day
thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right
to
pursue actual damages for the Maker's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified
herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to
it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice,
and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated
damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the
Conversion Notice is withdrawn.
(c) Subject
to Section 3.3(d) hereof, in addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Maker fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder
a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a
sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”),
then
the Maker shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of
this Note that the Maker was required to deliver to the Holder in connection
with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the
Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares
of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had
the
Maker timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder.
For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price
of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares
of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence
the Maker shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide
the Maker written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect
of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Maker. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
8
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Holder is an Insider Purchaser, then
subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3.3 shall not apply and shall have
no
force or effect.
Section
3.4 Ownership
Cap and Certain Conversion Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may
the
Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated
with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the
number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and
the rules thereunder) more than 4.9% of all of the Common Stock outstanding
at
such time; provided,
however,
that
upon the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant
to
Section 4.1 hereof) (the "Waiver
Notice")
that
the Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section
3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the
Note
referenced in the Waiver Notice. In the event the Holder is unable to fully
convert this Note in connection with either a mandatory conversion pursuant
to
Section 3.1(b) hereof, or a conversion election following the delivery of a
Maker's Prepayment Notice pursuant to Section 3.7(k) hereof due to the
restrictions set forth in this Section 3.4(a), such holder may elect to receive
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in lieu of shares of Common
Stock convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been
delivered to such holder but for the limitations set forth in this Section
3.4(a). The foregoing sentence shall not preclude the Holder from waiving at
any
time its rights to limit its ownership to (i) 4.9% of all of the Common Stock
issued and outstanding at such time in accordance with this Section 3.4(a)
or
(ii) 9.9% of all of the Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time in
accordance with Section 3.4(b) hereof.
9
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may
the
Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other
shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the
Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of
the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided,
however,
that
upon the Holder providing the Maker with a Waiver Notice that the Holder would
like to waive Section 3.4(b) of this Note with regard to any or all shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall
be
of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced
in
the Waiver Notice.
Section
3.5 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
3.6 Adjustment
of Conversion Price.
(a) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(i) Adjustments
for Stock Splits and Combinations.
If the
Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect
a
stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price
in
effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased.
If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date,
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately
increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.6(a)(i) shall be effective
at
the close of business on the date the stock split or combination
occurs.
(ii) Adjustments
for Certain Dividends and Distributions.
If the
Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make
or
issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common
Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such
issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion
Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close
of
business on such record date; and
(2) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close
of
business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
in payment of such dividend or distribution.
10
(iii) Adjustment
for Other Dividends and Distributions.
If the
Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make
or
issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than
shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to
the
applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by
adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this
Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares
of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker which
they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on
the
date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together
with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application
to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.6(a)(iii)
with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note and the Other Notes;
provided,
however,
that if
such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid
or if
such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual
payment of such dividends or distributions.
(iv) Adjustments
for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.
If the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time
to
time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number
of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange,
substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination
of
shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii),
or
a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in
Section 3.6(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the
Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments
of
the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock
and
other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or
other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such
Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as
provided herein.
(v) Adjustments
for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets.
If at
any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital
reorganization of the Maker (other than by way of a stock split or combination
of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3.6(a)(i),
(ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares
provided for in Section 3.6(a)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Maker
with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting
securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent
(50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity,
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Maker's properties or assets to any other person (an
"Organic
Change"),
then
as a part of such Organic Change, (A) if the surviving entity in any such
Organic Change is a public company that is
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
its
common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, a national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, an
appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall
be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder
shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount
of
shares of stock and other securities or property of the Maker or any successor
corporation resulting from Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity
in
any such Organic Change is not a public company that is
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
its
common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, a
national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board,
the
Holder shall have the right to demand prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(b)
hereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 3.6(a)(v) with respect to the
rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions
of
this Section 3.6(a)(v) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion
Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities
deliverable upon conversion of this Note and the Other Notes) shall be applied
after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be
practicable.
11
(vi) Adjustments
for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(1) In
the
event the Maker, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any
additional shares of common stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing
subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 3.6(a) or pursuant to Common Stock
Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date)
(“Additional
Shares of Common Stock”),
at a
price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without
consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be
adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying
each of the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(A) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock plus
(y) the
number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which
the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Conversion
Price then in effect, and
(B) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(2) The
provisions of paragraph (1) of Section 3.6(a)(vi) shall not apply to any
issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is
provided under Section 3.6(a)(vii). No adjustment of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Note shall be convertible shall be made under
paragraph (1) of Section 3.6(a)(vi) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock
Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to Section
3.6(a)(vii).
12
(vii) Issuance
of Common Stock Equivalents.
If the
Maker, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock
("Convertible
Securities"),
other
than the Notes, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common
Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the
"Common
Stock Equivalents")
and
the aggregate of the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock
may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the
consideration received by the Maker for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent
divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common
Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate
Per Common Share Price”)
shall
be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any
such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which
Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or
adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Share Common
Price be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of
such
amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such
issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of
subsection (vi) of this Section 3.6(a) on the basis that (1) the maximum number
of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock
Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common
Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable
in
whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Maker shall
enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent,
or
(B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment
of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii)
upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the
exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor,
if
any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such
warrants then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights
pursuant to this subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion
Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion
or
exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an
adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or
purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
(viii) Consideration
for Stock.
In case
any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued
or
sold:
(1) in
connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving
corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged
for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of
consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, of such
portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such
Board
may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
(2) in
the
event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not
the
surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other
securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities
of
any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares
of
its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the
transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market
value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other
property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment
of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the determination of the applicable
Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or
sale,
shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. In the event Common Stock
is
issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for
consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in
this
Section 3.6(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker.
13
(b) Record
Date.
In case
the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be such record date.
(c) Certain
Issues Excepted.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Maker shall not be required
to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with (i) securities
issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or
consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise
of
convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to
the
date hereof (so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities
are
not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the Holders) or
issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iii) securities issued pursuant to the
terms of that certain Exchange Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2007, by
and
among the Maker and the holders signatory thereto, (iv) the issuance of the
Promissory Notes and the Warrants (each as defined below), (v) the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Promissory Notes or the
exercise of the Warrants, (vi) securities issued in connection with bona fide
strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such
issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (vii) Common Stock issued
or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the
Maker’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans approved by the
Makers board of directors, so long as such issuances in the aggregate do not
exceed the number of shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase such number
of shares of Common Stock) issuable pursuant to such plans as they exist on
the
Issuance Date, (viii) any warrants issued to the placement agent and its
designees for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (ix)
the
payment of any dividends on the Maker’s Series B convertible preferred stock,
(x) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering
of the Maker’s securities, (xi) the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement dated February 17, 2004 between the Maker
and
the parties listed therein and (xii) the issuance of Common Stock upon the
exercise or conversion of any securities described in clauses (i) through (xi)
above. For purposes of this Note, (A) “Promissory
Notes”
shall
mean collectively, each of the following, as the same may be amended from time
to time: (1) the senior secured convertible promissory notes issued pursuant
to
the that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31,
2006, by and among the Maker and the purchasers listed therein or that certain
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2006, by and among
the Maker and the purchasers listed therein (collectively, the “2006
Purchase Agreements”),
(2)
the additional senior secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate
principal amount of up to $3,600,000 issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
(collectively with the 2006 Purchase Agreements, the “Purchase
Agreements”),
and
(3) any additional senior secured convertible promissory notes issued from
time
to time as interest on the outstanding principal balance of the foregoing
promissory notes; and (B) “Warrants”
shall
mean, collectively, each of the following, as the same may be amended from
time
to time: (A) the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
to
the Purchase Agreements; and (B) the warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock
issued in connection with the amendment of the senior secured convertible
promissory notes issued pursuant to the 2006 Purchase Agreements.
14
(d) No
Impairment.
The
Maker
shall
not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Maker,
but
will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the
provisions of this Section 3.6 and in the taking of all such action as may
be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder
against impairment. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Notes
as
provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that
such
Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged
in
any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party
or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice,
restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have
issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in
an
amount equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of the Notes
the
Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains
judgment.
(e) Certificates
as to Adjustments.
Upon
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to
this
Section 3.6, the Maker
at its
expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth
such
adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker
shall,
upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and
readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the
number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities
or
property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver
a
certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of
at
least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
(f) Issue
Taxes.
The
Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state
or
local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery
of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided,
however,
that
the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any
transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such
conversion.
15
(g) Fractional
Shares.
No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.
In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for
the
five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
The
term "Closing
Sale Price"
shall
mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing sale price per share of the
Common Stock on such date on the OTC
Bulletin Board or
another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then
listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last closing sale
price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such
date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board
or any registered national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share
of
Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin
Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization
or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of
business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by
the
OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then
the average of the "Pink Sheet" quotes for the relevant conversion period,
as
determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not
then
publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined
by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.
(h) Reservation
of Common Stock.
The
Maker shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares
of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of this Note and all interest accrued thereon; provided
that the
number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than
one
hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Note and all interest accrued thereon is at any time convertible. The
Maker
shall, from time to time in accordance with Delaware law, increase the
authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number
of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations
under this Section 3.6(h).
(i) Regulatory
Compliance.
If any
shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this
Note
or any interest accrued thereon require registration or listing with or approval
of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under
any
federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost
and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure
such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
Section
3.7 Prepayment.
(a) Prepayment
Upon an Event of Default.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default described in Section 2.1 hereof, the Holder shall have
the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Maker to prepay in cash
all
or a portion of this Note at a price equal to (i) in the case of any Holder
who
is an Insider Purchaser, one hundred percent (100%), or (ii) in the case of
any
Holder who is not an Insider Purchaser, one hundred twenty percent (120%),
of
the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest
applicable at the time of such request. Nothing in this Section 3.7(a) shall
limit the Holder's rights under Section 2.2 hereof. In the event the Holder
is
an Insider Purchaser, then the Holder agrees that prepayment of this Note plus
all accrued interest pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) shall be expressly
subordinate to the payment in full of any Other Notes then being prepaid
pursuant to Section 3.7(a) of such Other Notes which are held by Other Holders
which are not Insider Purchasers.
16
(b) Prepayment
Option Upon Major Transaction. In addition to all other rights of the Holder
contained herein, simultaneous with the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as
defined below), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, to
require the Maker to prepay in cash all or a portion of the Holder's Notes
at a
price equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate principal amount
of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest (the "Major Transaction
Prepayment Price"); provided that the Holder shall have the sole option to
request payment of the Major Transaction Prepayment Price in cash or
registered shares of common stock of the acquiror in a Major Transaction so
long
as the acquiror is a public company that is
registered pursuant to the Exchange Act and its common stock is listed or quoted
on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the
OTC Bulletin Board. In
the
event the Holder is an Insider Purchaser, then the Holder agrees that prepayment
of this Note plus all accrued interest pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) shall
be
expressly subordinate to the payment in full of any Other Notes then being
prepaid pursuant to Section 3.7(b) of such Other Notes which are held by Other
Holders which are not Insider Purchasers.
(c) Prepayment
Option Upon Triggering Event.
In
addition to all other rights of the Holder contained herein, after a Triggering
Event (as defined below), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's
option, to require the Maker to prepay all or a portion of this Note in cash
at
a price equal to (1) in the case of any Holder who is an Insider Purchaser,
one
hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus
all
accrued and unpaid interest, or (2) in the case of any Holder who is not an
Insider Purchaser, the sum of (i) the greater of (A) one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note and (B) in the
event at such time the Holder is unable to obtain the benefit of its conversion
rights through the conversion of this Note and resale of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion hereof in accordance with the terms of this
Note
and the other Transaction Documents, the aggregate principal amount of this
Note, divided by the Conversion Price on (x) the date the Prepayment Price
(as
defined below) is demanded or otherwise due or (y) the date the Prepayment
Price
is paid in full, whichever is less, multiplied by the VWAP (as defined below)
on
(x) the date the Prepayment Price is demanded or otherwise due, and (y) the
date
the Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other
amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of this Note
and
the other Transaction Documents (the "Triggering
Event Prepayment Price,"
and,
collectively with the Major Transaction Prepayment Price, the "Prepayment
Price").
For
purposes hereof, “VWAP”
means,
for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock
for such date on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg Financial
L.P.
(based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time);
(ii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price
per
share of the Common Stock so reported; or (iii) in all other cases, the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent
appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to
the
Maker. In the event the Holder is an Insider Purchaser, then the Holder agrees
that prepayment of this Note plus all accrued interest pursuant to this Section
3.7(c) shall be expressly subordinate to the payment in full of any Other Notes
then being prepaid pursuant to Section 3.7(c) of such Other Notes which are
held
by Other Holders which are not Insider Purchasers.
17
(d) Intentionally
Omitted.
(e) "Major
Transaction." A "Major Transaction" shall be deemed to have occurred
at such time as any of the following events:
(i) the
consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Maker with or into
another Person (as defined in Section 4.14 hereof) (other than (A) pursuant
to a
migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction
of
incorporation of the Maker or (B) a consolidation, merger or other business
combination in which holders of the Maker's voting power immediately prior
to
the transaction continue after the transaction to hold, directly or indirectly,
the voting power of the surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a
majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other
than a corporation) of such entity or entities).
(ii) the
sale
or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Maker’s assets (based on the
fair market value as determined in good faith by the Maker’s Board of Directors)
other than inventory in the ordinary course of business in one or a related
series of transactions; or
(iii) closing
of a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in which more than
fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were tendered and
accepted.
(f) "Triggering
Event." A "Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have occurred at such
time as any of the following events:
(i) so
long
as any Notes are outstanding, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
after it becomes effective, (i) lapses for any reason (including, without
limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or (ii) is unavailable to the Holder
for sale of the shares of Common Stock, and such lapse or unavailability
continues for a period of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days, and the shares
of Common Stock into which the Holder's Notes can be converted cannot be sold
in
the public securities market pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act,
provided that the cause of such lapse or unavailability is not due to factors
primarily within the control of the Holder of the Notes; and provided further
that a Triggering Event shall not have occurred if and to the extent the Maker
exercised its rights set forth in Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights
Agreement;
18
(ii) the
Maker's notice to any holder of the Notes, including by way of public
announcement, at any time, of its inability to comply (including for any of
the
reasons described in Section 3.8) or its intention not to comply with proper
requests for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock;
or
(iii) the
Maker's failure to comply with a Conversion Notice tendered in accordance with
the provisions of this Note within ten (10) business days after the receipt
by
the Maker of the Conversion Notice; or
(iv) the
Maker
deregisters its shares of Common Stock and as a result such shares of Common
Stock are no longer publicly traded; or
(v) the
Maker
consummates a “going private” transaction and as a result the Common Stock is no
longer registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act.
(g) Intentionally
Omitted.
(h) Mechanics
of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction. No sooner than
fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of
a
Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major
Transaction, the Maker shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier ("Notice of Major Transaction") to the Holder of this
Note. At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the
event a Notice of Major Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days
prior to a Major Transaction, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Major
Transaction), any holder of the Notes then outstanding may require the Maker
to
prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major
Transaction, all of the holder's Notes then outstanding by delivering written
notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Prepayment at
Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction") to the Maker, which Notice of
Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the
principal amount of the Notes that such holder is electing to have prepaid
and
(ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant
to Section 3.7(b) above.
(i) Mechanics
of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event. Within one (1)
business day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Maker shall deliver
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of
Triggering Event") to each holder of the Notes. At any time after the
earlier of a holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such holder
becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any holder of this Note may require the
Maker to prepay this Note by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile
and
overnight courier ("Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering
Event") to the Maker, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon
Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the amount of the Note that such holder
is
electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment
Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.7(c) above. A holder shall only
be
permitted to require the Maker to prepay the Note pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof
for the greater of a period of ten (10) days after receipt by such holder of
a
Notice of Triggering Event or for so long as such Triggering Event is
continuing.
19
(j) Payment
of Prepayment Price.
Upon
the Maker's receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon
Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major
Transaction from any holder of the Notes, the Maker shall promptly notify each
holder of the Notes by facsimile of the Maker's receipt of such Notice(s) of
Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or Notice(s) of Prepayment
at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction and each holder which has sent such
a
notice shall promptly submit to the Maker such holder's certificates
representing the Notes which such holder has elected to have prepaid. The Maker
shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, in the case
of a
prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(i), to such holder within five (5) business
days after the Maker's receipt of a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder
Upon Triggering Event and, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section
3.7(h), the Maker shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment
Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided
that a holder's original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker;
provided further that if the Maker is unable to prepay all of the Notes to
be
prepaid, the Maker shall prepay an amount from each holder of the Notes being
prepaid equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the number of Notes
held by such holder relative to the number of Notes outstanding) of all Notes
being prepaid. If the Maker shall fail to prepay all of the Notes submitted
for
prepayment (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation
of
the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of the Notes may
have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Prepayment
Price
payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear interest at the rate
of
two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
Until the Maker pays such unpaid applicable Prepayment Price in full to a holder
of the Notes submitted for prepayment, such holder shall have the option (the
"Void
Optional Prepayment Option")
to, in
lieu of prepayment, require the Maker to promptly return to such holder(s)
all
of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such holder(s) under this
Section 3.7 and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid,
by
sending written notice thereof to the Maker via facsimile (the "Void
Optional Prepayment Notice").
Upon
the Maker's receipt of such Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to
payment of the full applicable Prepayment Price to such holder, (i) the
Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or the
Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction, as the
case
may be, shall be null and void with respect to those Notes submitted for
prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid,
(ii)
the Maker shall immediately return any Notes submitted to the Maker by each
holder for prepayment under this Section 3.7(j) and for which the applicable
Prepayment Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price of such
returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price
as in
effect on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered
to the Maker and (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price during the period beginning
on the date on which the Notice(s) of Prepayment of Option of Holder Upon Major
Transaction or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering
Event, as the case may be, is delivered to the Maker and ending on the date
on
which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Maker;
provided that
no
adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of
the
Conversion Price then in effect. A holder's delivery of a Void Optional
Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not
effect the Maker's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior
to
the date of such notice. Payments provided for in this Section 3.7 shall have
priority to payments to the Maker’s stockholders in connection with a Major
Transaction.
20
(k) Maker
Prepayment Option.
(i) At
any
time following March 19, 2008, the Maker may prepay in cash all or any portion
of the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with all accrued
and
unpaid interest thereon upon ten (10) Trading Days prior written notice to
the
Holder (the “Maker's
Prepayment Notice”)
at a
price (the “Maker's
Prepayment Price”)
equal
to (A) one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the
aggregate principal amount of this Note; plus (B) any accrued but unpaid
interest outstanding at such time; (C) plus an amount equal to interest at
the
interest
rate as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof on
the
principal amount of this Note being prepaid for a period that commences on
the
date of such prepayment and that terminates on the Maturity Date;
provided,
however,
that if
the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice to the Maker or delivers a
Conversion Notice within such ten (10) Trading Day period following delivery
of
the Maker’s Prepayment Notice, the principal amount of this Note designated to
be converted may not be prepaid by the Maker and shall be converted in
accordance with Section 3.3 hereof; provided further
that if
during the period between delivery of the Maker's Prepayment Notice and the
Maker's Prepayment Date (as defined below), the Holder shall become entitled
to
deliver a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction or
Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder upon Triggering Event, then such rights
of the Holder, at its option, shall take precedence over the previously
delivered Maker Prepayment Notice. The Maker's Prepayment Notice shall state
the
date of prepayment which date shall be the eleventh (11th)
Trading
Day after the Maker has delivered the Maker's Prepayment Notice (the
“Maker's
Prepayment Date”),
the
Maker’s Prepayment Price and the principal amount of this Note to be prepaid by
the Maker. The Maker shall deliver the Maker's Prepayment Price on the Maker’s
Prepayment Date, provided,
that if
the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice before the Maker's Prepayment Date,
then
the portion of the Maker's Prepayment Price which would be paid to prepay this
Note covered by such Conversion Notice shall be returned to the Maker upon
delivery of the Common Stock issuable in connection with such Conversion Notice
to the Holder. On the Maker's Prepayment Date, the Maker shall pay the Maker's
Prepayment Price, subject to any adjustment pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, to the Holder. If the Maker fails to pay the Maker's
Prepayment Price by the eleventh (11th)
Trading
Day after the Maker has delivered the Maker's Prepayment Notice, the Maker’s
Prepayment Notice will be declared null and void ab
initio
and the
Maker shall lose its right to prepay this Note pursuant to this Section 3.7(k).
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Maker may effect a prepayment
pursuant to this Section 3.7(k) only if (1) the Registration Statement is
effective and has been effective, without lapse or suspension of any kind,
for a
period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days immediately preceding the
Maker’s Prepayment Notice through the Maker’s Prepayment Date, (2) trading
in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or the OTC Bulletin Board (or other exchange or market on which
the
Common Stock is trading), (3) the Maker is in material compliance with the
terms
and conditions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents, and (4) the
Maker is not in possession of any material non-public information.
21
(ii) In
the
event that this Note is prepaid in accordance with this Section 3.7(k), then
on
the Maker’s Prepayment Date, the Maker shall issue to the Holder warrants (the
“Prepayment
Warrants”)
substantially in the form of the Warrants issued to the Holder pursuant to
the
Purchase Agreement to purchase up to such number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying (A) the
quotient of (1) that portion of the principal
amount of this Note being prepaid plus
any
accrued but unpaid interest on such principal amount as of the Maker’s
Prepayment Date, divided by (2) the Conversion Price then in effect on the
Maker’s Prepayment Date, by (B) twenty-five percent (25%). The Prepayment
Warrants will have an exercise price equal to 110% of the Closing Sale Price
of
the Common Stock on the Maker’s Prepayment Date, and shall expire on the five
(5) year anniversary of the Maker’s Prepayment Date.
Section
3.8 Inability
to Fully Convert.
(a) Holder's
Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert.
At any
time following the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), if, upon the Maker's receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Maker
cannot issue shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration
Statement for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker
(w)
does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and
available, (x) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or
regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other
self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its
securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the
Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (y) fails to have a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration
Statement, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it
is
able to issue in accordance with the Holder's Conversion Notice and, with
respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder's
option, can elect to:
(i) require
the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable
to
issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder's Conversion Notice (the
"Mandatory
Prepayment")
at a
price per share equal to the Triggering Event Prepayment Price as of such
Conversion Date (the "Mandatory
Prepayment Price");
(ii) if
the
Maker's inability to fully convert is pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(x) above,
require the Maker to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance
with
such holder's Conversion Notice;
(iii) void
its
Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note
that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the
Holder's voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Maker's obligations
to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice);
22
(iv) subject
to Section 3.3(d) hereof, exercise its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.3(c) of this
Note.
(b) Mechanics
of Fulfilling Holder's Election.
The
Maker shall promptly send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a
facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully
satisfied as described in Section 3.8(a) above, a notice of the Maker's
inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the "Inability
to Fully Convert Notice").
Such
Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker
is
unable to fully satisfy such holder's Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of
this
Note which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment
Price. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section
3.8(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Maker
("Notice
in Response to Inability to Convert").
(c) Payment
of Prepayment Price.
If the
Holder shall elect to have its Notes prepaid pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i)
above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within
thirty (30) days of the Maker's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response
to
Inability to Convert, provided
that
prior to the Maker's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability
to
Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the
satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the
Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the
Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms
of
this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment
Price to the Holder on the date that is one (1) business day following the
Maker's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert
(other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic
calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the Holder
may
have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear
interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months)
until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full
to
the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to
that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has
not
been paid, (ii) receive back such Note, and (iii) require that the Conversion
Price of such returned Note be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion
Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Mandatory
Prepayment and (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price during the period beginning
on
the Conversion Date and ending on the date the Holder voided the Mandatory
Prepayment. In the event the Holder is an Insider Purchaser, then the Holder
agrees that the Mandatory Prepayment pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i) above shall
be expressly subordinate to the payment in full of any Other Notes then subject
to Mandatory Prepayment which are held by Other Holders which are not Insider
Purchasers.
(d) Pro-rata
Conversion and Prepayment.
In the
event the Maker receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of the
Notes on the same day and the Maker can convert and prepay some, but not all,
of
the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.8, the Maker shall convert and prepay
from
each holder of the Notes electing to have its Notes converted and prepaid at
such time an amount equal to such holder's pro-rata amount (based on the
principal amount of the Notes held by such holder relative to the principal
amount of the Notes outstanding) of all the Notes being converted and prepaid
at
such time.
23
Section
3.9 No
Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed
as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right
to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of
directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a
shareholder of the Maker.
