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 and during the pendency of any other
Event of Default (as defined below) a default interest rate of fifteen percent
(15%) per annum shall apply to the amounts owed hereunder.
1.2 Conversion
Privileges.
Subject
to Sections 9(f) and 9(q) of the Subscription Agreement, 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 extend the Maturity Date up to an amount of time equal to the
pendency of the Event of Default. Such extension must be on notice in
writing.
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) Subject
to Sections 9(f) and 9(p) of the Subscription Agreement, 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, 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 to be
converted by the Conversion Price.
(b) Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per
share shall be $0.18, subject to adjustment as described herein and in the
Subscription Agreement.
(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..
2
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 a sufficient number of shares to provide
for the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon the full conversion of this
Note
and as described in the Subscription Agreement. 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. 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 the number
of Shares of Common Stock issuable upon an assumed conversion of the outstanding
principal and interest of this Note multiplied by $1.50 (subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events), and any and all other
sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note or any
Transaction Document through and as of 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 covering all of the shares issuable upon conversion
of
all amounts convertible under this Note (“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 is not
effective each day during the Redemption Period.
2.3. 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.
3
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 only 4.99% and aggregate
conversion by the Holder may exceed 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%. 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 or up to 9.99% amount as described above.

Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay.
This

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

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
