2. Conversion.
Upon Request of the Holder. The entire unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on this Note may be, at the election of the Holder with notice delivered to the Company, converted into shares of the Company’s common stock issued by the Company (the “Common Stock”), provided such notice is delivered after the Company raises capital in excess of $5,000,000 (the “Conversion Event”) at an average price per share of not less than $0.40. If the Holder elects to exercise their conversation right hereunder, the parties shall utilize a Subscription Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(c) Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed (or an affidavit of loss in customary form in lieu thereof), at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. Subject to the Holder’s compliance with the preceding sentence, at its expense, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion. Regardless of the Holder’s compliance with the first sentence of this Section 2(c), upon conversion of this Note the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest being converted into the Common Stock including, without limitation, the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest on this Note, other than the Company’s obligation to comply with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
3. Payment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder applied to principal. The Company may prepay this Note at the Company’s election at any time.
