The occurrence of any one or more of the following events with respect to the Company constitutes an “Event of Default” hereunder:

(b) The Company breaches any covenant or agreement in the Purchase Agreement or this Note, and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Holder;

4.Certain Adjustments. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to adjust the Conversion Price as set forth in Section 1 above.
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Common Stock. If at any time from and after the date of the issuance of this Note through the Maturity Date, the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on the Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock as the case may be, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then, on the record date for such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision or split-up, combination or reclassification, as the case may be, the number and kind of shares to be delivered upon conversion of this Note will be adjusted so that the Holder will be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of capital stock that Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event had this Note been converted immediately prior thereto, and the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (d).
(b) Extraordinary Distributions. If at any time from and after the date of issuance of this Note through the Maturity Date, the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets (excluding dividends payable in shares of capital stock for which adjustment is made under paragraph (a) above), or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company, then in each such case the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to Holder upon conversion of this Note shall be increased so that the Holder thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares such Holder would have been entitled to receive immediately before such record date by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price on such record date minus the then fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets so distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of the Common Stock (provided that such denominator shall in no event be less than $.01) and the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price.
(c) Reorganization, etc. If at any time from and after the date of issuance of this Note through the Maturity Date, any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company with or into any other person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock) or any sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person (each, a “Reorganization Event”), shall be effected in such a way that the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, other securities or assets (whether such cash, stock, other securities or assets are issued or distributed by the Company or another person) with respect to or in exchange for the Common Stock, then this Note shall automatically become convertible only for the kind and amount of cash, stock, other securities or assets receivable upon such Reorganization Event by a holder of
4
the number of shares of the Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note had this Note been converted immediately before such Reorganization Event, subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The Company shall not enter into any of the transactions referred to in this paragraph (c) unless effective provision shall be made so as to give effect to the provisions set forth in this paragraph (c).
(d) Conversion Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is adjusted as provided pursuant to this Section 5, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note immediately thereafter; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall in no event be less than the par value of a share of such Common Stock.
(e) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note or the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note and the Conversion Price after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
(f) Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Agreement, including upon conversion of the Note, exceed 19.9% of either (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement or (b) the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement that are entitled to vote on matters voted on by holders of the Common Stock, unless and until the Company has obtained the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market for issuances of shares in excess of such amount.
5.Reservation and Listing of Shares. The Company shall reserve and keep available solely for issuance upon (i) the conversion of the Loan Obligation into shares of Common Stock and (ii) shall take all action to increase the authorized number of Common Stock, as applicable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, as applicable, to permit such reservation or permit the conversion of all of the outstanding Loan Obligation. The Company shall take such actions as may be necessary to list for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market upon their issuance all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Loan Obligation.
6.Governing Law. This Note and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
5
7.Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon three (3) business days after deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized air courier, upon receipt of confirmation with regard to delivery by facsimile or upon twelve (12) hours after delivery by electronic mail and addressed: (i) if to the Holder, to Xxxxx Xxxxx at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 XXX, or at such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as the Holder shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (ii) if to the Company, at its current address or at such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as the Company shall have furnished to the Holder in writing.
8.Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended and the observance of any term of this Note may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Holder and the Company.
9.Stockholders, Officers and Directors Not Liable. In no event shall any stockholder, officer or director of the Company be liable for any amounts due or payable pursuant to this Note.
10.Lost Documents. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence and indemnity satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver in lieu of this Note a new note of the same series and of like tenor and unpaid principal amount and dated as of the date to which interest, if any, has been paid on the unpaid principal amount of this Note.
11.Waiver. The Company hereby waives presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.
12.Remedies. No remedy herein conferred upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every right or other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
13.Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Note, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction
