(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:
A. Merger, 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.
13
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. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable directly or indirectly for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such other Lower Price Issuance. For purposes of the adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock (other than Excepted Issuances) shall result in the adjustment of the Conversion Price where such right to convert is at a price lower than the applicable Conversion Price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Borrower for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in 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. Borrower 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.
14
2.3. 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. The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 2.3, in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Borrower to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%.
2.4. Mandatory Conversion. Provided an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or giving of notice could become an Event of Default has not occurred, then, until the Maturity Date, the Borrower will have the option by written notice to the Holder (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) of compelling the Holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal of the Note and accrued interest, thereon, into Common Stock at fifty percent (50%) of the Conversion Price, as adjusted, then in affect (“Mandatory Conversion”). The Notice of Mandatory Conversion, which notice must be given on the first day following twenty (20) consecutive trading days (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market shall be greater than Five Dollars ($5.00) each such trading day and during which twenty (20) trading days, the daily trading volume as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market is greater than 100,000 shares. 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. The Borrower shall reduce the amount of Note principal subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion by the amount of Note Principal and interest for which the Holder had delivered a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the 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 the Subscription Agreement. A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may be given only in connection with an amount of Common Stock which would not cause a Holder to exceed the 4.99% (or if increased, 9.99%) beneficial ownership limitation set forth in Section 2.3 of this Note.
2.5. Reservation. On or before May 30, 2009, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower 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.
15
2.6. 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”). Borrower’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 at least 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 previously delivered an election to convert, or subject to the previous sentence, 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 permissibly 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 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. During the Optional Redemption Period, the Company must abide by all of its obligations to the Note Holder.
