option, at any time and from time to time to convert, in part or in whole, the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at the then applicable Conversion Price, by delivering to the Company a fully executed notice of conversion in the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), which may be transmitted by facsimile (with the original mailed on the same date by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested). The Conversion Notice shall specify a date for the conversion to be effective, which date shall be no earlier than the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered (the “Conversion Date”), and the Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable when delivered.
(b) Conversion Procedures. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 5, the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall be converted into such number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free of any liens, claims and encumbrances, as is determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount being converted by the then applicable Conversion Price and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be paid in cash. The Company will deliver to the Holder not later than three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (assuming that the Registration Statement has been declared effective), representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.
(c) Conversion Price Adjustments.
(i) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Note is outstanding (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities but excluding any stockholder rights granted pursuant to a poison pill) in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues new securities by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier, shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above, had such Note been surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such event or record date therefore, whichever is earlier. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall become effective (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or (y) in the case of such subdivision, reclassification or combination, at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
(ii) Distributions. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or cash or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (excluding those referred to in Section 5(c)(i) above), then concurrently with such distributions to holders of Common Stock, the Company shall distribute to the Holder of this Note the amount of such indebtedness, assets, cash or rights or warrants which the Holder of this Note would
have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock at the then applicable the Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such distribution.
(iii) Common Stock Issuances. In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries on or subsequent to the Closing Date issues or sells any Common Stock or any Convertible Securities (other than (A) pursuant to warrants, convertible notes, or other Convertible Securities issued prior to the Issuance Date, (B) pursuant to warrants or convertible notes granted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (C) shares of Common Stock or options to purchase such shares issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors in accordance with stock plans approved by the Board of Directors, and shares of Common Stock issuable under options or warrants that are outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, (D) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a stock dividend, split or other similar transaction, except as provided for in paragraph 5(c)(i) hereof, and (E) shares of Common Stock issued at a price not less than the average closing price per share of Common Stock for the 5 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of issuance to Growell Metal Co., Ltd. pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, dated on or about January 10, 2004, between Growell Metal Co., Ltd. and the Company’s South Korean subsidiary), at an effective Per Share Selling Price which is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced effective concurrently with such issuance or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) Rounding of Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 5(c) shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(v) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(c), the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder of this Note, a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that any failure to so provide such notice shall not affect the automatic adjustment hereunder.
(vi) Fundamental Changes. In case any transaction or event (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, combination, recapitalization, sale of assets, tender or exchange offer, reclassification, compulsory share exchange or liquidation) shall occur in which all or substantially all outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into or exchanged or acquired for or constitute the right to receive stock, or other securities, cash, property or assets (each, “Fundamental Change”), the Holder of this Note outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change shall have the right upon any subsequent conversion to receive the kind and amount of stock,
other securities, cash, property or assets that such holder would have received if such share had been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Change.
(vii) Further Adjustment. In the event that (a) this Note is not paid in full or converted within thirty (30) days after the Maturity Date, or (b) the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Conversion Price shall be recalculated such that for so long as this Note remains unpaid or such breach is occurring and remains uncured, as applicable, the Conversion Price shall be equal to the lower of the Conversion Price then in effect and the average closing price per share of Common Stock for the 5 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
(d) Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder of this Note, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 5) upon the conversion of this Note hereunder in Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradeable.
(e) No Fractions. Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock at such time. If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
(f) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note (including repayment in stock) shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Note when surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by an assignment form; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any such transfer.
(g) Cancellation. After all of the Principal Amount (including accrued but unpaid interest and default payments at any time owed on this Note) has been paid in full or converted into Common Stock, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled and the Holder shall promptly surrender the Note to the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices.
(h) Mandatory Conversion.
(i) If at any time after the Issuance Date, the closing per share price of the Common Stock exceeds $5.00 (as such price may be proportionally adjusted for stock splits, reverse splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations) for 30 consecutive Trading Days (the “Pricing Event”), and further provided that the Registration Statement has been effective for at least such 30 Trading Day
period, including the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below), the Company shall have the option, exercisable by delivering an irrevocable notice to the Holder (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to provide that the Note (including the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest) shall be converted at the then-applicable Conversion Price on a date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) at least 30 but no more than 60 days from the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice. The foregoing shall not affect the right of the Holder to convert this Note pursuant to Section 5(a) above at all times up to and including the Mandatory Conversion Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding the preceding subsection (h)(i), the Holder of this Note shall not be obligated to convert this Note on a Mandatory Conversion Date unless and until each of the following conditions has been satisfied at all times from the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice up to and including the Mandatory Conversion Date:
(A) The Registration Statement has been effective;
(B) No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(C) The Holder has received unlegended certificates representing shares of Common Stock with respect to all conversions for which Conversion Notices have been given.
(iii) A mandatory conversion shall be subject to and governed by all the provisions relating to voluntary conversion of the Note contained herein.
Section 6. General.
(a) Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.
(b) Savings Clause. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt. If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.
(c) Amendment. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
(d) Assignment, Etc. The Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee. The Holder shall notify the Company of any such assignment or transfer promptly. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.
(e) Amendments and Waivers.
A. The provisions of this Note, including, but not limited to, any decision to convert the Note, any waiver of the restrictive covenants or adjustment provision and any change to a conversion price, may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and consented to by the Company and the Holders of not less than 50% in Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “Required Holders”); provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or waiver which would (i) modify this Section 6(e), (ii) extend the Maturity Date for more than one year, or (iii) reduce the Principal Amount or any amounts payable hereunder or (iv) not be uniform and non-discriminatory as to any particular Note, shall be made without the consent of the Holder of each Note so affected.
B. Except as provided herein, no failure or delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Holder shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(i) Governing Law. THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
(ii) Jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any State or Federal Court sitting in the State of New York, County of New York, over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note.

Nothing herein shall affect Holder’s right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.
(iii) No Jury Trial. The Company hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Note.
(g) Replacement Notes. This Note may be exchanged by Holder at any time and from time to time for a Note or Notes with different denominations representing an equal aggregate outstanding Principal Amount, as reasonably requested by Xxxxxx, upon surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or exchange.
