Section 6. Optional Conversion of Convertible Notes. (a) Right to convert; conversion price. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions hereof, the holder of any Convertible Note shall have the right, at any time until such Convertible Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any portion of the unpaid amount of such Convertible Note into Common Stock of the Company at a price of $.12 per share, or in case an adjustment of such initial conversion price has taken place pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 6, then at the price as last
adjusted and in effect at the date such Convertible Note or portion thereof is surrendered for conversion (the initial conversion price or such price as last adjusted, as the case may be, being referred to herein as the "Conversion Price"); provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced below the then applicable par value of the Company's Common Stock. The number of shares of the Company's Common Stock into which any Convertible Note is convertible shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 6. The number of such shares into which a portion of any Convertible Note is convertible shall be that proportion of the total number of such shares, as adjusted, into which such Convertible Note is then convertible which the principal amount of such portion to be so converted bears to the then unpaid principal amount of such Convertible Note. In order to convert any Convertible Note, the holder thereof shall surrender the Convertible Note to the Company at its office in Roswell, GA (or any other office or agency of the Company that it designates by notice in writing to the holders of the Convertible Notes), accompanied by a written statement designating the principal amount of such Convertible Note, or portion thereof, to be so converted. In the case of any Convertible Note which is converted in part only, the Company shall, upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the holder thereof, at the Company's expense, a new Convertible Note or Convertible Notes of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Convertible Note.
(b) Issue of common stock; continuing obligation. Within a reasonable time, not exceeding five business days after the receipt of the written statement referred to in subsection 6(a), the Company shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof (hereinafter in this subsection, the term "holder" shall include the nominee of any such holder), registered in the holder's name, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Convertible Note (or specified portion thereof), bearing the restrictive legend required by subsection 6(h). To the extent permitted by law, such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected and the conversion price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with such conversion shall be determined as of the close of business on the date on which such written statement shall have been received by the Company and such Convertible Note shall have been surrendered as aforesaid, and at such time the rights of the holder of such Convertible Note (or specified portion thereof) as such holder shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby. The Company will, at the time of such conversion, in whole or in part, upon request of the holder of such Convertible Note, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to such holder in respect of any rights (including, without limitation, any right of registration of the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion) to which such holder shall continue to be entitled under this Agreement after such conversion; provided, that the failure of such holder to make any such requests shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to such holder in respect of such rights.
(c) Dividends and interests. No payment or adjustments shall be made upon any conversion on account of any cash dividends on the Common Stock issued upon such conversion. The Company shall pay all interest on the Convertible Note surrendered for conversion accrued to the date, in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock at the discretion of the Company, based on a share price of $.12 per share, upon which the above-mentioned written statement has been received by the Company.
(d) Anti-dilution provisions. A. Adjustment of conversion price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:
(1) If shares of Common Stock are issued as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock of the Company, the Conversion Price which would otherwise be in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purpose of this paragraph (1), the number of shares at any time outstanding shall include shares held by the Company if such dividend or distribution is paid or made in respect thereof.
(2) If the Common Stock is subdivided into a greater or combined into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto, or immediately prior to the record date for such subdivision or combination if a record date is fixed, shall be proportionately adjusted so that it will bear the same relation to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination, or such record date, as the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination, or such record date shall bear to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such subdivision or combination or such record date. For purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares at any time outstanding shall include shares held by the Company if such subdivision or combination affects such shares.
(3) In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, any other corporation or of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other corporation, each Convertible Note shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale entitle the holder to receive upon conversion the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the holder of securities deliverable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale) upon conversion of such Convertible Note would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; and in any such case the provisions of this Section 6(d) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Convertible Notes shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or any property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Convertible Notes. Any such adjustment which shall be approved by the Company's Board of Directors shall for all purposes of this paragraph conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock (whether
with or without par value) shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the Common Stock for the purposes of this paragraph.
(4) For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6(d), the following provisions shall be applicable:
(a) in case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash (including such issuance upon exercise of rights, warrants or options, granted without consideration, to subscribe for or purchase such shares), the amount of the cash consideration shall be the amount of such cash received by the Company, provided that no deduction shall be made for any commissions, discounts or expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith; and
(b) in case of the issuance 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 lower of the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or the value of the shares issued based on the Current Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as provided in Section 6(d)(F)).
(5) For the purpose of this Section 6(d)(A), shares of Common Stock or other securities held in the treasury of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding, except as specifically provided herein, and the sale or other disposition of any shares of Common Stock or other securities held in the treasury of the Company shall be deemed an issuance thereof.
B. In any case in which this Section 6(d) requires that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of a Convertible Note converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 6(d)(F); provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holders' right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
C. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall also adjust the Conversion Prices to be in effect for subsequent Conversion Periods, and shall compute the adjusted Conversion Prices in accordance with Section 6(d)(A) and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President and by a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Prices and showing in reasonable detail the facts (and computations) upon which such adjustments are based, and such certificate, as well as any accountants' certificate provided for in Section 6(d)(A)(8) on which the Company has relied in making such adjustments, shall forthwith be mailed (by first class mail postage prepaid) to each registered holder of a Convertible Note at such holder's last address as shown on the
register of the Company.
D. The form of Convertible Note Certificate need not be changed because of any change in the Conversion Prices and Convertible Note Certificates issued before or after such change, and may state the same Conversion Prices as stated in the Convertible Note Certificates theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement, however, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of Convertible Note Certificate that it may deem appropriate; and any Convertible Note Certificates thereafter issued may be in the form as so changed.
E. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share in connection with the conversion of Convertible Notes, but in any case where any holder of a Convertible Note Certificate would, except for the provisions of this paragraph F, be entitled under the terms of this Agreement to receive a fraction of a share upon the conversion of Convertible Notes, the Company shall pay a sum in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Value of the shares (determined as provided in Section 6(d)(F) except that the Current Market Value shall be deemed to be the market price for the business day next preceding the day of conversion), unless the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine to adjust fractional shares by the issue of scrip of the Company in respect of such fraction or in some other manner.
F. For the purposes of any computation under this subsection 6(d), the “Current Market Value” of Common Stock per share or of any other security (herein collectively referred to as a "security") at the date therein specified shall be deemed to be the average of the daily market prices for the 20 consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before such date. The market price for each such business day shall be the last reported trade price on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation source designated by the Company.
(e) Shares issuable upon conversion. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which are issued upon the conversion of all outstanding Convertible Notes will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will at all times have authorized, and reserved and kept available solely for the purpose of issue upon the conversion of Convertible Notes as herein provided, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock as are then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Convertible Notes.
(f)Registration, approval or listing of common stock. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of conversion of Convertible Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal (other than the Securities Act or similar federal statute than in force) or state law, or listing on any national securities exchange, before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Company will, at its expense, as expeditiously as possible exercise its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved or listed on the relevant national securities exchange, as the case may be. Shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes shall be registered by the Company under the Securities Act if required by subsection (h) below and subject to the conditions stated therein.
(g) Issuance tax and expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses, issuance taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of certificates for Common Stock issuable upon each conversion of the Convertible Notes, except that, if any such certificate is registered in a name or names other than the name of the holder of such Convertible Note, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes which are payable upon the execution and delivery of such certificate shall be paid by such holder to the Company when such Convertible Note is surrendered for conversion.
(h) A. Legend; restrictions on conversion and transfer. Each Convertible Note issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
“This Note, and any shares or other securities acquired upon the conversion of this Note, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be offered and sold or transferred only if registered pursuant to the provisions of that Act or if an exemption, supported by an opinion of counsel, from registration is available.”
Each stock certificate issued upon the conversion of any Convertible Note except as permitted by this Section 6 shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
" These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be offered and sold or transferred only if registered pursuant to the provisions of that Act or if an exemption, supported by an opinion of counsel, from registration is available."
The outstanding stock of the Company evidenced by a certificate or certificates bearing such legend is herein sometimes called "Legend Stock." Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution under a registration statement of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless in the opinion of such holder's counsel specified in Clause B below (addressed to such holder), the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6 shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of Legend Stock, and shall also be applicable to and inure to the benefit of all subsequent holders of the Convertible Notes.
B. Notice of intention to convert or transfer; opinions of counsel; registration required by holders of convertible notes. The Convertible Notes and the Legend Stock to be issued upon conversion thereof shall not be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this subsection 6(h)(B). Each holder of any Convertible Note or Legend Stock, by acceptance thereof, agrees, prior to any transfer of such Convertible Note or Legend Stock or concurrently with any conversion of such Convertible Note, to give written notice to the Company expressing such holder's intention to effect such transfer or conversion and describing briefly the manner of the proposed transfer or, in the case of such conversion, such holder's intention as to the disposition (and the intended method thereof) or retention to be made of Common Stock issuable upon the proposed conversion, together, if registration of such Convertible Note or Legend Stock or Common Stock is deemed unnecessary, with a copy of the opinion of counsel selected by such holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (addressed to such holder) as to the nonnecessity for registration under the Securities Act of such Convertible Note or Legend Stock
or Common Stock in connection with such proposed transfer or disposition or retention upon such proposed conversion. The following provisions shall apply:
(1) If in the opinion of such counsel, the proposed transfer of such Convertible Note or Legend Stock, or the proposed disposition or retention of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion, may be effected without such registration of such Convertible Note or of such Legend Stock or of such Common Stock under the Securities Act, such holder shall be entitled to transfer such Convertible Note or Legend Stock or to dispose of or retain such Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such holder to the Company. Unless in the opinion of such counsel subsequent disposition by such holder or by others of the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion or of the Legend Stock to be so transferred may require such registration, the Company will promptly upon such conversion or transfer deliver certificates for Common Stock not bearing a legend of the character set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (h), all as contemplated by such form of legend.
(2) If the proposed transfer of such Convertible Note or Legend Stock, or the proposed disposition (including retention) of the Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion, may not be effected without such registration of such Convertible Note, Legend Stock, or such Common Stock, (i) the holder thereof shall not be entitled to transfer such Convertible Note or such Legend Stock until such registration is in effect, and (ii) the Company shall promptly give written notice to all holders of outstanding Convertible Notes and or Legend Stock of a possible registration of Legend Stock under the Securities Act.
C. "Piggyback" registrations. The Company shall provide “Piggyback” registration rights for the Shares and the Warrants on its next Registration Statement filing or the earlier of 60 days of a Closing Date, which Registration Statement shall be declared effective within 90 days of such Closing Date (120 days if reviewed by the SEC) or is unavailable to the Investors for more than twenty (20) days during a 365-day period, the following penalties will be incurred; (i) a 2.0% penalty per month will be assessed until the Registration Statement is declared effective or becomes available. The penalty will be payable monthly in cash, and (ii) for each $1,000 of Notes outstanding, the Note holders shall receive 500 warrants to purchase Common Stock in the Company exercisable at $.12 each for a period of 3 years as a penalty per month which will be assessed until the Registration Statement is declared effective or becomes available. This provision will be subject to force majeure.
D. Payment of registration expenses. With respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to clause C of this Section 6(h), the Company shall bear all the costs and expenses incidental thereto, with the exception of the filing fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the registration fee payable to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the blue sky fees and expenses, and transfer taxes attributable to the Legend Stock being included, which fees and expenses shall be borne by the holders of such Legend Stock.
E. Information to be furnished. Notices and requests delivered pursuant to this Section 6(h)E shall contain such information regarding the Legend Stock and the intended method of
disposition thereof as shall reasonably be required in connection with the action to be taken.
F. Exchange of stock certificates. As expeditiously as possible after the effectiveness of any registration pursuant to this Section 6(h), the Company will deliver in exchange for any certificates representing shares of Legend Stock so registered, new common stock certificates not bearing the legend set forth above.
G. Indemnification. (1) In the event of any registration pursuant to this Section 6(h)G, the Company will indemnify each holder of Legend Stock so registered and each other person, if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and each other person (including underwriters) who participates in the offering of such Legend Stock against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or controlling person or participating person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such Legend Stock was registered under the Securities Act (“Registration Statement”), in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder and each such controlling person or participating person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such holder or such controlling person or participating person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or proceeding; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, said preliminary or final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument with respect to such holder or person duly executed by such holder or person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(2) Each holder of Legend Stock included in the Registration Statement shall agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any (including underwriters), who participate in the offering to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company but only with respect to any information furnished in writing by or on behalf of and with respect to such holder expressly for use in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereof. In case any action shall be brought against the Company or any underwriter or any other person so indemnified based on any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof or any application, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the holder of Legend Stock, such holder shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by the provisions in the preceding paragraph.
H. Survival of obligations. The obligations of the Company contained in this Section 6(h) shall survive payment in full of the Convertible Notes.
I. The Company will keep any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 6(h)I current for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or until the Holder or Holders have
completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto or the Registrable Securities are eligible to be sold or transferred under Rule 144(k) (or similar provisions then in effect) promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act, whichever first occurs.
Section 7. Mandatory Conversion of Convertible Notes. The Notes will automatically convert into Common Stock if any of the following events occur: (i) the Shares become registered and freely trading, or (ii) the financial Closing by the Company of $10,000,000 or more.
Section 8. Seniority. The Notes shall be secured by all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, however, subordinate to a $1,200,000 senior loan, a $1,000,000 secure loan and pari-passu with $2,000,000 of Convertible Debentures. All future debt securities issued by the Company will be subordinate in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; provided, however, that the Company may raise up to $1.0 million of senior indebtness that ranks pari passu with the Convertible Notes in the future.
Section 9. Affirmative covenants of company. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the Convertible Notes shall be outstanding:
(a) Insurance. The Company will maintain or cause to be maintained with well rated and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to its properties and business and the properties and businesses of its subsidiaries against such risks (including, without limitation, risks of business interruption), casualties and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts as is customary in the case of corporations engaged in the same or similar business or having similar properties.
(b) Notice of event of default. If any officer of the Company obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any event of default specified in this Agreement which has not been cured, or if the holder of any of the Convertible Notes demands payment of such Convertible Notes or takes any other action permitted upon the occurrence and continuance of such an event of default, the Company will at once give notice to every other holder of the Convertible Notes, specifying the nature of such demand or of such event of default or of such action, as the case may be.
(c) Notices of certain events. The Company agrees to give notice to the holders of the Convertible Notes within twenty days after it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an application to register any of the securities of the Company pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or any comparable federal statute. The Company agrees to review its stock ledgers, stock transfer books and other corporate records periodically (and not less often than once in each calendar quarter) in order to determine whether you are or shall have become, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than such percentage of any class of its equity securities (as defined in the Exchange Act) as shall cause you to be required to make any filings or declarations to the Company, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to any provision of the Exchange Act or any comparable federal statute, and the Company will give prompt notice to you whenever it shall have determined, upon the basis of the information disclosed by any such review, that you are or have become
such a holder, which notice shall also specify the information upon which the Company bases such determinations.
(d) Payment of taxes, etc. The Company will pay, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to pay, before they become delinquent,
(i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or its property, and
(ii) all claims or demands of materialmen, mechanics, carriers, warehousemen, landlords and other like persons which, if unpaid, might result in the creation of a lien upon its property.
Neither the Company nor its subsidiary shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, claim or demand if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company or such subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have set aside on its books reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles deemed by its independent public accountants to be adequate with respect thereto.
(e) Books and records. The Company will at all times keep, and willcause each of its subsidiaries to keep, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, true and complete books and records in connection with its assets and operations.
(f) Preservation of properties. The Company will at all times keep its properties, and will cause its subsidiary to keep its properties, whether owned in fee or otherwise, or leased, in good operating condition, and from time to time will make, and will cause its subsidiary to make, all proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto needed to maintain such properties in good operating condition, will at all times comply with, and will cause its subsidiary to comply with, the provisions of all material leases to which it or its subsidiary is a party or under which it or its subsidiary occupies property so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder, and at all times will comply with, and will cause its subsidiary to comply with, all laws, rules, regulations, and orders applicable to the properties or business or any part thereof of it or its subsidiary.

Section 11. Exchange, transfer, or replacement of convertible notes. At the request of a holder of Convertible Notes, the Company at its own expense will issue, upon transfer and surrender, or in exchange or replacement, of Convertible Notes or mutilated portions thereof, new Convertible Notes of the same tenor (except, in the case of a transfer, for the payee thereof) as, and in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the sum of, the outstanding Convertible Notes held by such holder and so transferred and surrendered or exchanged or replaced; notwithstanding the foregoing the Company may condition such transfer on the payment to it by such holder of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer and may condition the replacement of any of the Convertible Notes reported as lost, stolen, or destroyed by a holder upon the receipt from such holder of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, however, that if you or your
designee shall be such holder, your agreement of indemnity shall be sufficient for all purposes of this Section.
