This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Borrower and the Holder, dated of even date herewith (the "Subscription Agreement"), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription Agreement. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Payment Grace Period. The Borrower shall have a ten (10) day grace period to pay any monetary amounts due under this Note, after which grace period a default interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum shall apply to the principal amount owing on the Note.
1.2 Conversion Privileges. The Conversion Privileges set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Note shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article II hereof; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder may elect to extend the Maturity Date for a time period up to the duration of the pendancy of the default.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share ("Common Stock") as set forth below.
2.1. Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.
(a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest, at the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the "Delivery Date") that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, if any, through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note and interest, if any, to be converted, by the Conversion Price.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the weighted average volume price of the Common Stock using the AQR function as reported by Bloomberg L.P. ("VWAP") for the ten (10) trading days preceding the Closing Date.
(c) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
X. Xxxxxx, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
B. 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 that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence 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.
C. 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..
D. Share Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue or agree to issue any shares of Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) for a consideration less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to other rights of the Holder described in this Note and the Subscription Agreement.
(d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(e) During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than an amount of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Xxxxxxxx agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
2.2 Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
2.3. Mandatory Conversion. Provided an Event of Default (or an event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default) is not continuing or was not extant during the prior twenty business days, then commencing after the Actual Effective Date (as defined in Section 11.1(iv) of the Subscription Agreement), the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder ("Notice of Mandatory Conversion") of compelling the Holder to convert the outstanding and unpaid principal of this Note into Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price then in affect ("Mandatory Conversion"). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion may only be given, if at all, on the first business day following a consecutive twenty (20) day trading period ("Mandatory Conversion Lookback Period") during which the closing price for the Borrower's Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market is more than 300% of the VWAP for the ten (10) trading days preceding the Closing Date each day during the Mandatory Conversion Lookback Period. The date the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is given is the "Mandatory Conversion Date." The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Note which is subject to Mandatory Conversion. Mandatory Conversion Notices must be given proportionately to all Holders of Notes who received Notes similar in terms and tenure as this Note. The maximum aggregate amount for all Notices of Mandatory Conversion that may be given for each Mandatory Conversion Date may not exceed 25% of the daily trading volume for the seven (7) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date multiplied by the volume weighted average prices ("VWAP") as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market for such seven day trading period. A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may not be given unless the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) has been effective for the unrestricted public resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) each day during the Mandatory Conversion Lookback Period. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date. The amount of Note principal included in a Mandatory Redemption Notice shall be further reduced to an amount that would not cause the Holder to exceed the limitation described in Section 2.4 of this Note. A further Mandatory Conversion Notice may not be given until thirty (30) calendar days have elapsed from the preceding Mandatory Conversion Date. Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date and the Borrower will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period as described in Section 2.1 herein.
2.4 Maximum Conversion. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of 4.99%. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2.3 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.
2.5 Optional Redemption of Principal Amount. Provided an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, whether or not such Event of Default has been cured, the Borrower will have the option of prepaying the outstanding Principal amount of this Note ("Optional Redemption"), in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note or any Transaction Document through the Redemption Payment Date as defined below (the "Redemption Amount"). Xxxxxxxx's election to exercise its right to prepay must be by notice in writing ("Notice of Redemption"). The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption Payment Date"), which date shall be thirty (30) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount for which the Holder has a pending election to convert, or for conversions initiated or made by the Holder during the Redemption Period. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount, less any portion of the Redemption Amount against which the Holder has exercised its conversion rights, shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then (i) such Notice of Redemption will be null and void, (ii) Borrower will have no right to deliver another Notice of Redemption, and (iii) Borrower's failure may be deemed by Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default. A Redemption Notice may be given only at a time a Registration Statement is effective. A Notice of Redemption may not be given nor may the Borrower effectuate a Redemption without the consent of the Holder, if at any time during the Redemption Period an Event of Default or an Event which with the passage of time or giving of notice could become an Event of Default (whether or not such Event of Default has been cured), has occurred or the Registration Statement registering the Registrable Securities is not effective each day during the Redemption Period.
