6. Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. At any time from the date hereof,
Lender may at its option elect to convert all (but not less than all) of the
outstanding Principal Amount and unpaid accrued interest thereon as of such date
into shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share in
accordance with this Section 6. The Lender shall give at least 15 days prior
notice to Borrower of the date on which such conversion is to be effectuated
(such date, the "Conversion Date"). The number of shares of Common Stock to
which Lender shall be entitled upon such conversion shall be determined by
dividing (x) the outstanding Principal Amount and unpaid accrued interest
thereon as of the Conversion Date by $0.035 (the "Conversion Price")
On the Conversion Date, the outstanding Principal Xxxxxx and unpaid
accrued interest thereon shall be converted automatically into the Common Stock
without further action by the Lender and whether or not this Note has been
surrendered to Borrower or its transfer agent, and Lender shall be deemed to be
the shareholder of record as of the Conversion Date with respect to the Common
Stock. Within fourteen (14) days subsequent to the Conversion Date Lender shall
surrender this Note to Borrower or its transfer agent, duly marked cancelled
and, in exchange therefor, Lender shall receive from Borrower share certificates
evidencing
4
the Common Stock in the name or names in which Lender wishes such certificate or
certificates to be issued. If within fourteen (14) days of the Conversion Date,
Lender is unable to deliver this Note, Lender shall notify Borrower or its
transfer agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall
deliver to Borrower an acknowledgement that the obligations evidenced by this
Note, shall have been upon the Conversion Date be deemed fully satisfied, and,
if requested by Borrower, Lender shall execute an agreement reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower to indemnify Borrower from any loss incurred by it in
connection with inability of Lender to deliver such Note.
(b) Issue Taxes. Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, issue and
other taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the
Common Stock.
(c) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. Upon any
automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6(a) above, Borrower will take all
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock Common Stock, as the case may be, to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note under
Section 6(a) above, including, without limitation, obtaining the requisite
stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to Borrower's certificate of
incorporation.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
conversion of this Note into Common Stock. If the conversion would result in the
issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, Borrower shall, in lieu of
issuing any fractional share, pay Lender who is otherwise entitled to such
fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the
Conversion Date, with respect to the Common Stock (in each case as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of Borrower and agreed to by Xxxxxx).
(e) Adjustment Provisions. The Conversion Price and number and kind
of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined herein,
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
(i) 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
5
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.
(ii) 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 Conversion Price 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.
(iii) Share Issuances. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 6, 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 to a
person other than the Lender (otherwise than (1) pursuant to Subsections i or ii
above or this subsection e; (2) pursuant to options, warrants, or other
obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to
Lender in writing; (3) 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
Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Conversion
Price shall be immediately reset to such lower Offer Price; or (4) pursuant to
any agreement entered into by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for the
acquisition of another business (whether by stock purchase or asset purchase,
merger or otherwise; or (5) for services rendered by consultants; ((1), (2), (3)
(4) and (5) above, are hereinafter referred to as the "Excluded Issuances")).
For purposes hereof, the issuance of any security of the Borrower convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock shall result in an
adjustment to the Conversion Price only upon the conversion, exercise or
exchange of such securities.
(iv) Computation Of Consideration. For purposes of any
computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Subsection iii above,
the following shall apply:
(a) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided
that in no case shall any deduction be made
6
for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Borrower for
any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;
(b) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower (irrespective
of the accounting treatment thereof); and
(c) in the case of the issuance of securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the aggregate
consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration received
by the Borrower for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum
consideration, if any, to be received by the Borrower upon the conversion or
exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same
manner as provided in clauses (a) and (b) of this Subsection iv).
7. Waiver.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower waives presentment and
written demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of
this Note, and shall pay all costs of collection when incurred, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses.
BORROWER WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS ARISING
UNDER THIS NOTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. The right to plead any
and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demands hereunder is hereby
waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
