Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the maximum number of shares into which the Notes and the Loan may be converted and for which the purchase rights contained in the Warrant may be exercised, in the aggregate, shall not exceed 46,517,695. Any attempted exercise of the conversion right contained herein which, when added to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which the conversion right contained herein has been previously been exercised and (ii) the number of shares for which the Warrant has previously been exercised shall be void to the extent that it would cause the aggregate of such amounts to exceed 46,517,695 and shall be deemed to be valid as an exercise for that number of shares that is equal to 46,517,695 less the number of shares acquired upon (x) prior exercises of the conversion rights contained herein and (y) prior exercises of the Warrant. All share numbers used in the calculations provided for in this Section 2.5(c) shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.5(e).
(d) Mechanics of Conversion. In order to convert the Loan (in whole or in part) into full shares of Common Stock, the Lender (i) shall give written notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "Conversion Notice") by facsimile to the Borrower that the Lender elects to convert the principal amount (plus accrued but unpaid interest and default payments) specified therein, which such notice and election shall be irrevocable (other than as described below), and (ii) as soon as practicable after such notice, shall surrender the Note, duly endorsed, by either overnight courier or 2-day courier, to the principal office of the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless either the Note evidencing the principal amount is delivered to the Borrower as provided above, or the Lender notifies the Borrower that such Note(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and promptly executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower to indemnify the Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed Notes. If Lender is converting less than the maximum number of shares it may convert hereunder, the Borrower shall reissue the Note with the appropriate remaining principal amount as soon as practicable after the Borrower shall have received the Lender's surrendered Note.
The Company shall issue and deliver within three (3) business days of the delivery to the Borrower of such Conversion Notice at the address of the Lender, or to its designee, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Lender shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with a Note or Notes for the principal amount of Notes not submitted for conversion. In the event that Lender or its designee has not received such certificate or certificates within ten (10) calendar days of the Borrower’s receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, revoke its Conversion Notice.
The conversion pursuant to this Sections 2.7 shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date. The person or persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Note or Notes being converted at the close of business on the Conversion Date.
8 |
(e) Stock Splits; Dividends; Adjustments; Reorganizations.
(i) If the Borrower, at any time while the Notes are outstanding, shall (i) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including investments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of Lenders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of an issuance, a subdivision or a combination.
(ii) If the Borrower, at any time while the Notes are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Conversion Price multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is equal to (A) the Market Price for Shares of Common Stock on the record date for the distribution minus (B) the price allocable to one share of Common Stock of the value (as jointly determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Borrower and the Lender) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities or property, so distributed and (ii) the denominator of which is equal to the Market Price for Shares of Common Stock on the record date for the distribution.
(iii) In the event that at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or reorganization provided for elsewhere in this Section 8), then and as a condition to each such event provision shall be made in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lenders of Notes so that each holder of Notes shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind of stock receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by Lenders of shares of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formula set forth herein for conversion shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock (applying the same factors used in determining the Conversion Price) issued in connection with the above described transaction.
Whenever any element of the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.5(e), the Borrower shall promptly mail to each holder of the Notes, a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(iv) In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, any security or right convertible or exchangeable into or entitling the holders thereof to receive additional shares of Common Stock, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Borrower shall deliver to each holder of Notes at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, security or right and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, security or right.
(v) If the Borrower, at any time while the Notes are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Shares of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then such holders shall participate in such distribution on a pro rata basis with the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, issuance, subdivision or combination as if the holders held that number of shares of Common Stock that the holders would have been entitled to receive hereunder upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend, at the Conversion Price then in existence.
9 |
(f) Fractional Shares No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable hereunder. The number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon any conversion shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(g) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other present or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of the Notes, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 2) upon the conversion of all of the Notes pursuant hereto. The Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
2.8 Limitations on Lender's Right to Convert.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Note may not be converted to the extent that, after giving effect to shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by the Lender (other than by virtue of the ownership of Notes or ownership of other securities that have limitations on a Lender's rights to exchange, convert or exercise similar to those limitations set forth herein), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by the Lender's "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) that would be aggregated for purposes of determining whether a group (as defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), exists (an "aggregation party"), which were obtained through the conversion right contained herein or the exercise of the Warrant, would exceed 19.9% (the "Restricted Ownership Percentage") of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Borrower's Common Stock; provided that (w) each holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reduce its ownership below the Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Notes/Warrants will be convertible into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion will result in the LC Capital Offshore Fund Ltd. (the "Offshore Feeder") owning, holding or beneficially owning (directly or indirectly) more that 9.99% of the Common Stock (the “Ownership Limit”), and at any time, and from time to time, if the Offshore Feeder owns, holds or beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) a percentage less than the Ownership Limit, then such Notes/Warrant shall then be convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) to the extent that it would not result in the Offshore Feeder owning, holding or beneficially owning (directly or indirectly) more than the Ownership Limit.
