CONVERTIBLE NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IBSG INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Florida corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to ALPHA CAPITAL AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, Xxxxxxxxx 0, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxx: 000-00-00000000, (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest or order, without demand, the sum of _____________________________ Dollars ($__________) (“Principal Amount”), with simple and unpaid interest thereon, on March ___, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid.
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
INTEREST; AMORTIZATION
1.1. Interest Rate. Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) of seven percent (7%). Interest on the Principal Xxxxxx shall accrue from the date of this Note and shall be payable semi-annually, in arrears, six months after the date of this Date and each six months thereafter and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
1.2. Minimum Monthly Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall commence on the one year anniversary of the date of this Note and on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter (each a “Repayment Date”) until the Principal Amount has been repaid in full, whether by the payment of cash or by the conversion of such principal into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof. Subject to Section 2.1 and Article 3 below, on each Repayment Date, the Borrower shall make payments to the Holder in the amount of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the initial Principal Amount (the “Monthly Principal Amount”), together with any other amounts, except for regular interest, which are then owing under this Note that have not been paid (the Monthly Principal Amount, together with such other amounts, collectively, the “Monthly Amount”). Amounts of conversions of Principal Xxxxxx made by the Holder or Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or Article III, and amounts converted pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Note shall be applied first against outstanding fees and damages, then accrued interest on the Principal Amount and then to Monthly Amounts commencing with the Monthly Amount first payable and then Monthly Amounts thereafter in chronological order. Any Principal Amount, interest and any other sum arising under the Subscription Agreement that remains outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
1.3. Default Interest Rate. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within twenty (20) days, otherwise then from the first date of such occurrence, the annual interest rate on this Note shall (subject to Section 6.7) automatically be increased to fifteen percent (15%), and all outstanding obligations under this Note, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at such interest rate applicable to such obligations until such Event of Default is cured or waived.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION REPAYMENT
2.1. Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock. Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, the Borrower, at the Borrower’s election, shall pay the Monthly Amount (i) in cash within three (3) business days after the applicable Repayment Date, or (ii) in registered Common Stock at an applied conversion rate equal to the lesser of (A) $____ [85% of closing bid price of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the trading day preceding the Closing Date], or (B) eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the five (5) trading days preceding such Repayment Date. Such shares of Common Stock must be delivered to the Holder not later than three (3) business days of the applicable Repayment Date. Whichever of the NASD, OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange or such other principal market or exchange where the Common Stock is listed or traded is the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock is the Principal Market. The Borrower must send notice to the Holder by confirmed telecopier not later than 3:00 PM, New York City time on the last Trading Day preceding a Repayment Date notifying Holder of Borrower’s election to pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in cash or stock. The Notice must state the amount of cash and or stock to be paid and include supporting calculations. Elections by the Borrower must be made to all Holders of Notes similar to this Note in proportion to the relative Note principal held by such Note Holders. If such notice is not timely sent or if the Monthly Redemption Amount is not timely delivered, then Holder shall have the right, instead of the Company, to elect within five trading days after the later of the applicable Repayment Date or required delivery date, as the case may be whether to be paid in cash or Common Stock. Such Holder’s election shall not be construed to be a waiver of any default by Borrower relating to non-timely compliance by Borrower with any of its obligations under this Note.
2.2. No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder may be paid in shares of Common Stock by the Borrower without the Holder’s consent unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of such obligations exists, or (ii) an exemption from registration of the Common Stock is available pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, and (b) no Event of Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option.
2.3. Mandatory Conversion. Provided 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 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 must be given, if at all, on the first business day following a consecutive ten (10) day trading period (“Lookback Period”) during which the closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the Principal Market is more than $0.60 each day during the 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 35% of the daily trading volume for the seven (7) trading days preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date multiplied by the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market using the AQR function 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 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 2.3 of this Note. A further Mandatory Conversion Notice may not be given until twenty (20) trading 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 above.
ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1. Holder’s Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 3.2 and the mandatory conversion provisions therein, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with interest and fees due hereon, and any sum arising under the Subscription Agreement, and the Transaction Documents, including but not limited to Liquidated Damages, into shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III at the rate of $0.29 per share of Common Stock (“Fixed Conversion Price”) as same may be adjusted pursuant to this Note and the Subscription Agreement. The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 3.3.
3.2. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note nor may this Note be converted in whole or in part into an amount of Common Stock that would be convertible into that number of Common Stock which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The foregoing limitation shall be calculated as of each Conversion Date. Aggregate conversions over time shall not be limited to 4.99%. The Holder may waive the Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2, in whole or in part, upon 61 days prior notice to the Borrower. The Holder may allocate which of the equity of the Borrower deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.
3.3. Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.
(a) In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and amounts being converted. The original Note is not required to be surrendered to the Borrower until all sums due under the Note have been paid. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if so required by the Borrower’s transfer agent, within two (2) business days after the date of the delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if the registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note is effective and the Holder has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements. In the event that Conversion Shares cannot be delivered to the Holder via DWAC, the Borrower shall deliver physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date.
3.4. Conversion Mechanics.
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article III shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.
(b) The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion 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, 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 any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration less than the Fixed Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option 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 Fixed Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.
E. In the event gross revenues for the Borrower as reported on the Borrower’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, or on the Borrower’s Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 are less than $5,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, then the Fixed Conversion Price of unconverted Notes shall be reduced automatically and with no action required by Holder or Borrower, by one-third.
(c) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4(b) 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.
3.5. Reservation. During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock 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.
3.6 Issuance of Replacement Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid, provided Xxxxxx has surrendered an original Note to the Company. In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Borrower against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note.
ARTICLE IV
SECURITY INTEREST
4. Security Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay. This Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower to Holder. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower and Holder are parties (collectively, “Loan Documents”) and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW. The Borrower hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder. The Borrower represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree to the terms of the Loan Documents if this waiver were not a part of this Note. The Borrower further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower and that the Borrower has discussed this waiver with counsel.
