4. Conversion.
----------
4.1 Conversion. The principal amount of this Note, or any portion thereof
may be converted by the Holder at any time prior to Maturity into the number of
fully paid shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock as is determined by
dividing the unpaid principal under the Note by the Conversion Price (as
hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of conversion. Accrued but unpaid
interest shall be payable in cash at the time of conversion.
4.2 Conversion Price. The Conversion Price (the "Conversion Price")
applicable per share of Series C Preferred Stock shall initially be equal to
$1.00, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 4.3
below.
4.3 Adjustments to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
4.3.1 Adjustment Upon Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Splits.
-----------------------------------------------------------
If, at any time, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding is
increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Series C Preferred Stock or
by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, then,
following the record date for the determination of holders of Series C Preferred
Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend, or to be affected by such
subdivision or split-up, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased
so that the number of shares of
-3-
Series C Preferred Stock issuable on conversion of Note shall be increased in
proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.
4.3.2 Adjustment Upon Combinations. If, at any time, the number
------------------------------
of shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination
of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into a smaller number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, then, following the record date to determine
shares affected by such combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
increased so that the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock issuable on
conversion of the Note shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares.
4.3.3 Adjustment Upon Reclassifications, Reorganizations,
------------------------------------------------------
Consolidations or Mergers. If, at any time when the Note is issued and
---------------------------
outstanding, there shall be any merger, consolidation, share exchange,
recapitalization, reorganization, business combination, or other similar event,
as a result of which shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or
securities of the Company or another entity, or in case of any sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company then the
Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of the Note,
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of
the shares of Series C Preferred Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon
conversion, such stock, securities, cash or other assets which the Holder of
would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Note been
converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any
limitations on conversion contained herein), and in any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price and of the number of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter
be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or
assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Note. The above
provisions shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, share
exchanges, recapitalizations, reorganizations, business combinations or other
similar events or sales of assets.
4.3.4 Deferral in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which the
---------------------------------
provisions of this Section 4.3 shall require that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after a record date of an event, the Company may defer
until the occurrence of such event issuing to the Holder of the Note, converted
after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the shares of
capital stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required
by such event and issuing to such Holder only the shares of capital stock
issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustments;
provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate
instrument or due bills evidencing such holder's right to receive such
additional shares.
4.3.5 Notice of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Whenever the
---------------------------------------------
Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided: (i) the Company shall compute
the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with this Section 4.3 and shall
prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the
facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall
-4-
forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for such purpose of
conversion of the Note; and (ii) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has
been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be
prepared by the Company, and as soon as practicable after it is prepared, such
notice shall be mailed by the Company at its expense to the Holder at the
Holder's last addresses as it shall appear in the Company's records.
4.4 Conversion Procedure.
---------------------
4.4.1 Notice of Conversion. In order to convert this Note (in
----------------------
whole or in part) into full shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Holder shall
surrender the Note, duly endorsed, by either overnight courier or by hand, to
the principal office of the Company, and shall give written notice (the
"Conversion Notice") by facsimile (with the original of such notice forwarded
------------------
with the foregoing courier) to the Company at such office that the Company
elects to convert the amount specified therein, which such notice and election
shall be irrevocable by the Holder; provided however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion unless either the Note evidencing
the principal amount is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the
Holder notifies the Company that such Note(s) have been lost, stolen or
destroyed and promptly executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by its connection with
such Note(s).
4.4.2 Delivery of Stock Certificates. Upon receipt of such
---------------------------------
Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately verify the Holder's calculation
of the conversion rate and shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer
agent to issue and deliver as promptly as practical to the Company of such
Note(s), or after receipt of such agreement and indemnification, to such Holder
of Note(s) at the address of the Holder, or to its designee, a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to which the
Holder shall be entitled, together with a Note or Notes for the principal amount
of Notes not submitted for conversion. The issuance of such certificates upon
conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder of this Note
for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in
connection with such conversion and the related issuance of the Series C
Preferred Stock. Upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall take all
such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Series C Preferred
Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued and fully
paid.
4.4.4 Effect of Conversion. The date on which the Conversion
----------------------
Notice is given shall be deemed to be the date the Company received by facsimile
the Conversion Notice, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Series C
Preferred Stock on such date. No fractional shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any
fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company
shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal that is not
converted because its conversion would require fractional shares, such payment
to be in the form as provided below. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company
shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this
Note, except that the Company shall be obligated to pay the Holder, within ten
(10) days after the date
-5-
of such conversion, any interest accrued and unpaid or unconverted to and
including the date of such conversion, and no more.
4.5 Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of:
-------------------------------
4.5.1 Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any
class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend
payable out of earned surplus at the same rate as that of the last such cash
dividend theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right; or
4.5.2 Any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other
person or any consolidation or merger involving the Company; or
4.5.3 Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company, the Company will mail to the holder of this Note at
least five (5) days prior to the earliest date specified therein, a notice
specifying:
4.5.3.1 The date on which any such record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution or right; and
4.5.3.2 The date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is expected to become effective and the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to vote thereon.
4.6 Notice of Prepayment. The Company shall mail to the holder of this
----------------------
Note at least sixty (60) days prior to repayment of any principal due hereunder.
4.7 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall,
--------------------------------------------------
prior to conversion of this Note into Series C Preferred Stock, reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Series C Preferred Stock
solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note such number of
its shares of Series C Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient
to effect the conversion of the Note. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of
its duly authorized Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion
of the Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with its
Articles. If at any relevant time the number of authorized but unissued shares
of Series C Preferred Stock (and shares of Common Stock for issuance on
conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock) shall not be sufficient to effect
the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, in
addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this
Note, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to forthwith take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Series C Preferred Stock (and shares of its Common Stock for issuance
on
-6-
conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock) to such number of shares as shall
be sufficient for such purposes.
5. Assignment. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in
----------
Section 8 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder of
this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs,
administrators and transferees of the parties.
