converted into shares of the Company’s common stock as of the Maturity Date at a
conversion rate of $0.25 per share or such other amount as determined in
accordance with Section 3(d) (such conversion rate, as adjusted, being the
“Conversion
Price”).
(ii) Conversion
upon Event of Default. Should there
occur an Event of Default as defined in Section 2, the Holder may in its sole
discretion elect to convert any portion of the principal amount and accrued and

outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity

doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
pursuant to this Note or the other securities issued or to be issued in this
transaction), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D)
issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company, then in each case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of this Note shall be proportionately and equitably
adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
(ii) Subsequent
Equity Sales. If at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company
shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any
right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce

Common Stock or any securities of the Company or of any subsidiary of the
Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common
Stock (hereinafter, “Common Stock
Equivalents”), including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock,
rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible
into or exchangeable for or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive
Common Stock, entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an
effective price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect (such
issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”),
as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at
an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price in
effect on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, the Conversion Price shall
be adjusted pursuant to the following formula:
NP = OP x [OB +
(AMT/OP)]
(OB+SI)
where
2
NP is the
new Conversion Price;
OP is the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment;
OB is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the Dilutive
Issuance;
AMT is
the dollar amount of the Dilutive Issuance, and
SI is the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable in the Dilutive Issuance.
The
Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the business day

indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants

shall be subject to Section 3(d)(ii) above), then in each such case the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator
shall be the Closing Price (defined below) determined as of the record date
mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Closing Price on such
record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith, or at the option of the Holder, by an independent
appraiser selected by the Holder. and reasonably acceptable to the
Company. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a
statement provided by the Company to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above. At the time of such adjustment, the
number of shares of common stock issuable following such adjustment shall be
equitably and proportionally adjusted upward.
As used
herein, “Closing

the last business day immediately preceding the date of any such calculation;

function or reporting prices, the Closing Price shall be the average of the high
closing bid and low ask prices reported for the last five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the date of any such calculation, or (C) in all other
cases, the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock shall be the price
determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and

that the Company shall (A) effect a reorganization, (B) consolidate
with or merge into any other entity or (C) transfer all or substantially
all of its properties or assets to any other entity under any plan or
arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition precedent to the consummation of such a transaction, proper
and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Note, on the
conversion hereof as provided in this Section 3, at any time after the
consummation of any such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of any such dissolution, shall receive in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock issuable on such conversion immediately prior to any such
consummation or effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon
any such consummation or dissolution if the Holder had so converted this Note
immediately prior to such consummation or dissolution.

described in this Section shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, which
shall expeditiously prepare and mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the
nature of any necessary adjustment together with the basis thereof and the
calculations therefor. The Company shall immediately notify the
Holder of any information which bears on any of the events referenced in this
Section 3 and which may have an effect on the conversion of this
Note. If the Company issues a variable rate security, the Company

exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date
after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the
occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to
the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock (other than
pursuant to standard anti-dilution features) or (ii) enters into any
agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the
Company may sell securities at a future determined price

given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(vii) Voluntary

such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (z) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the
unintentional failure to mail such notice or any unintentional defect therein or
in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
