CONVERSION;
ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT
Section
3.1 Conversion
Option.
(a) At any
time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be
convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder (the “Conversion Option”),
into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the
“Conversion
Rate”) as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding
principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of
such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as
defined in Section 3.2 hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder
faxes a notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”),
duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (000) 000-0000,
Attn.: CFO) (the “Voluntary Conversion
Date”), provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment as described in Section 3.5 below. The Holder shall
deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase
Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With
respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written
records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion
Date.
(b) On the
Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below), the Maker may cause the principal
amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest to convert into a
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the
quotient of (i) the principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid
interest outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date divided by (ii) the
Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date by providing five
business (5) days prior written notice of such Mandatory Conversion Date; provided, that, the
Maker shall not convert into shares of Common Stock, during any twenty day
period, an aggregate principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes (in the
aggregate) in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the product of (i) the average
VWAP during the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Mandatory Conversion
Date and (ii) the average volume of shares of Common Stock traded on the
principal market for the Common Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Days
ending on the Mandatory Conversion Date. As used herein, a “Mandatory Conversion
Date” shall be a date following the effective date of the Registration
Statement in which the Closing Bid Price exceeds $1.60 (as appropriately
adjusted for stock splits and combinations) for a period of twenty (20)
consecutive Trading Days; provided, that the Equity
Conditions are satisfied on the Mandatory Conversion Date and the date of the
delivery of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the mandatory
conversion. The Mandatory Conversion Date and the Voluntary
Conversion Date collectively are referred to in this Note as the “Conversion
Date.”

Section
3.2 Conversion
Price. The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.10, subject
to adjustment under Section 3.5 hereof.
Section 3.3 Mechanics of
Conversion.
(a) Not later
than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker or its
designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the
Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified
in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled. In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days
after any Conversion Date, the Maker shall deliver to the applicable Holder by
express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive
legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 5.1 of
the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “Delivery
Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the
Maker 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 such conversion is in connection with a sale and the
Holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (as
evidenced by documentation furnished to and reasonably satisfactory to the
Maker). If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or
certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the
Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at
any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates
thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall
immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and
the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts
described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of
rescission is given to the Maker.
(b) The Maker
understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss
to the Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such
shares via DWAC (or, if applicable, certificates) by the Delivery Date, the
Maker shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each
Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are
delivered (if applicable), together with interest on such amount at a rate of
10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is
paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading
Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B)
$2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue
actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and
such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law
or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice,
and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated
damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the
Conversion Notice is withdrawn.
-6-
(c) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Maker fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit via DWAC or transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Maker shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that the
Maker was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at
issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for
which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Maker timely complied
with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example,
if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock
with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Maker shall be
required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Maker written
notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In,
together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested
by the Maker. Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’s right to pursue
any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief
with respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
Section 3.4 Ownership Cap and Certain
Conversion Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the
Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated
with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the
number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules thereunder) more than 4.9% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at
such time; provided, however, that upon
the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that
the Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section
3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note
referenced in the Waiver Notice.
-7-
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the
Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other
shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the
Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon
the Holder providing the Maker with a Waiver Notice that the Holder would like
to waive Section 3.4(b) of this Note with regard to any or all shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall be of no
force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the
Waiver Notice.
Section
3.5 Adjustment of Conversion
Price.
(a) Until the
Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased,
other than pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) hereof):
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits
and Combinations. If the Maker shall at any time or from time
to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common
Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock
split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any
time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any
adjustments under this Section 3.5(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of
business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.
(ii) Adjustments for Certain
Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or
from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date
for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each
event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event
shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record
date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by
multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:
(1) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date; and
(2) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
in payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Other
Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or
from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date
for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in
each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be
made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or
otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions
thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon,
the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) which they
would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date
of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event
to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with
any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all
adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.5(a)(iii) with
respect to the rights of the holders of this Note and the Other Notes; provided, however, that if such
record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such
distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price
shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of
such dividends or distributions.
-8-
(iv) Adjustments for
Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time
after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange,
substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of
shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or
a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in
Section 3.5(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the
Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of
the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or
other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as
provided herein.
(v) Adjustments for
Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If
at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a
capital reorganization of the Maker (other than by way of a stock split or
combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in
Section 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or
substitution of shares provided for in Section 3.5(a)(iv)), or a merger or
consolidation of the Maker with or into another corporation where the holders of
outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own
over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or
consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale
of all or substantially all of the Maker’s properties or assets to any other
person (an “Organic
Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change, (A) if the surviving
entity in any such Organic Change is a public company that is registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, an
appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall
be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder
shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities or property of the Maker or any successor
corporation resulting from Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity in
any such Organic Change is not a public company that is registered pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not
listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, the Holder
shall have the right to demand prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(b)
hereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) with respect to the
rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of
this Section 3.5(a)(v) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion
Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities
deliverable upon conversion of this Note and the Other Notes) shall be applied
after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be
practicable.
(vi) Adjustments for Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Maker, shall, at any
time, from time to time, issue or sell any additional shares of common stock
(otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through
(v) of this Section 3.5(a) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter
defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date) (“Additional Shares of Common
Stock”), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in
effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such
issuance shall be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid
for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(vii) Issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(vii) shall
apply if (a) the Maker, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common
Stock (“Convertible
Securities”), other than the Notes, or (b) any rights or warrants or
options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities
(collectively, the “Common Stock
Equivalents”) shall be issued or sold. If the price per share
for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such
Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then
in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price
per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter
is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the
applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or
adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or
amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (vi)
of this Section 3.5(a).
(viii) Consideration for
Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
Equivalents shall be issued or sold:
(1) in
connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving
corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged
for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of
consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, of such
portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board
may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
-9-
(2) in
the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not
the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or
other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities of
any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of
its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the
transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market
value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other
property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in
adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the determination of the applicable
Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale,
shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. In the event
Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the
Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as
provided in this Section 3.5(a)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities
and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Maker.
(b) Record
Date. In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of
its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of
the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.
(c) Certain Issues
Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Maker shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in
connection with any of the transactions described in clauses (1) through (3) of
the definition of Permitted Financings (as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement).
(d) No
Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Articles
of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all
times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section 3.5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder against
impairment. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Notes as
provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such
Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in
any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party
or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice,
restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have
issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an
amount equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of the Notes the
Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains
judgment.
(e) Certificates as to
Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Maker at
its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such
adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written
request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the
applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of
Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at
the time would be received upon the conversion of this
Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated
to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or
decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
-10-
(f) Issue
Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes,
excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect
of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note
pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the
Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any
transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such
conversion.
(g) Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to
which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to
the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices
of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately
preceding the Conversion Date.
(h) Reservation of Common
Stock. The Maker shall at all times when this Note shall be
outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Note and all interest accrued thereon are at any
time convertible. The Maker shall, from time to time in accordance
with the Nevada Revised Business Corporation Act, increase the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number of authorized
shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this
Section 3.6(h).
(i) Regulatory
Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for
the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon require
registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock
exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation
or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon
conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as
expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or
approval, as the case may be.
Section
3.6 Prepayment.
(a) Prepayment Upon an Event of
Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections
2.1(b)-(m) hereof, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to
require the Maker to prepay in cash all or a portion of this Note at a price
equal to one hundred and twenty five percent (125%) of the aggregate principal
amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest applicable at the time
of such request. Nothing in this Section 3.6(a) shall limit the
Holder’s rights under Section 2.2 hereof.
-11-
(b) Prepayment Option Upon Major
Transaction. In addition to all other rights of the Holder
contained herein, simultaneous with the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as

price equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) one hundred and twenty five
percent (125%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued
and unpaid interest and (B) in the event at such time the Holder is unable to
obtain the benefit of its conversion rights through the conversion of this Note
and resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion hereof in
accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents or
the Registration Statement is not effective and covering the resale of all such
shares of Common Stock, the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all
accrued but unpaid interest hereon, divided by the Conversion Price on (x) the
date the Prepayment Price (as defined below) is demanded or otherwise due or (y)
the date the Major Transaction Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is
less, multiplied by the VWAP on (x) the date the Major Transaction Prepayment
Price is demanded or otherwise due, and (y) the date the Major Transaction
Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other
amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of this Note and
the other Transaction Documents (the “Major Transaction Prepayment
Price”).
(c) Prepayment Option Upon
Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the
Holder contained herein, after a Triggering Event (as defined below), the Holder
shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Maker to prepay all
or a portion of this Note in cash at a price equal to the sum of (i) the greater
of (A) one hundred and twenty five percent (125%) of the aggregate principal
amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest and (B) the aggregate
principal amount of this Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest hereon,
divided by the Conversion Price on (x) the date the Prepayment Price (as defined
below) is demanded or otherwise due or (y) the date the Prepayment Price is paid
in full, whichever is less, multiplied by the VWAP on (x) the date the
Prepayment Price is demanded or otherwise due, and (y) the date the Prepayment
Price is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other amounts, costs,
expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of this Note and the other
Transaction Documents (the “Triggering Event Prepayment
Price,” and, collectively with the Major Transaction Prepayment Price,
the “Prepayment
Price”).
(d) “Major
Transaction.” A “Major Transaction”
shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following

the Maker’s voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after the

directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or
entities).
(ii) the
sale or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Maker’s assets (based
on the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Maker’s Board of
Directors) other than inventory in the ordinary course of business in one or a
related series of transactions; or
-12-
(iii) closing
of a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in which more than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were tendered and
accepted.
(f) “Triggering
Event.” A “Triggering Event”
shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following
events:
(i) so long
as any Notes are outstanding, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
after it becomes effective, (a) lapses for any reason (including, without
limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or (b) after the Registration
Statement becomes effective, it is unavailable to the Holder for sale of the
shares of Common Stock, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period
of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days, and the shares of Common Stock into
which the Holder’s Notes can be converted cannot be sold in the public
securities market pursuant to Rule 144(k), provided that the cause of such lapse
or unavailability is not due to factors primarily within the control of the
Holder of the Notes; and provided further that a Triggering Event shall not have
occurred if and to the extent the Maker exercised its rights set forth in
Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement;
(ii) the
suspension from listing, without subsequent listing on any one of, or the

requests for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock;
or
(iv) the
Maker’s failure to comply with a Conversion Notice tendered in accordance with

-13-
(h) Mechanics of Prepayment at
Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction. No sooner than
fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a
Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major
Transaction, the Maker shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier (“Notice of Major
Transaction”) to the Holder of this Note. At any time after
receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major
Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major
Transaction, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction), any
holder of the Notes then outstanding may require the Maker to prepay, effective
immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, all of the
holder’s Notes then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at
Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction”) to the Maker, which Notice of
Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the
principal amount of the Notes that such holder is electing to have prepaid and
(ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant
to Section 3.6(b) above.
(i) Mechanics of Prepayment at
Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event. Within one (1)
business day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Maker shall deliver
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering
Event”) to each holder of the Notes. At any time after the
earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such holder
becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any holder of this Note and the Other
Notes then outstanding may require the Maker to prepay all of the Notes on a pro
rata basis by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight
courier (“Notice of
Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event”) to the Maker,
which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall
indicate (i) the amount of the Note that such holder is electing to have prepaid
and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, as calculated
pursuant to Section 3.6(c) above. A holder shall only be permitted to
require the Maker to prepay the Note pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof for the
greater of a period of ten (10) days after receipt by such holder of a Notice of
Triggering Event or for so long as such Triggering Event is
continuing.
(j) Payment of Prepayment
Price. Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment
at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option
of Holder Upon Major Transaction from any holder of the Notes, the Maker shall
immediately notify each holder of the Notes by facsimile of the Maker’s receipt
of such Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or
Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction and each
holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Maker such
holder’s certificates representing the Notes which such holder has elected to
have prepaid. The Maker shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event
Prepayment Price, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(i), to
such holder within five (5) business days after the Maker’s receipt of a Notice
of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event and, in the case of a
prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(h), the Maker shall deliver the applicable
Major Transaction Prepayment Price immediately prior to the consummation of the
Major Transaction; provided that a holder’s original Note shall have been so
delivered to the Maker; provided further that if the Maker is unable to prepay
all of the Notes to be prepaid, the Maker shall prepay an amount from each
holder of the Notes being prepaid equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based
on the number of Notes and Other Notes held by such holder relative to the
number of Notes and Other Notes outstanding) of all Notes being
prepaid. If the Maker shall fail to prepay all of the Notes submitted
for prepayment (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic
calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of
the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable
Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear
interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months)
until paid in full.
-14-
Until
the Maker pays such unpaid applicable Prepayment Price in full to a holder of
the Notes submitted for prepayment, such holder shall have the option (the
“Void Optional
Prepayment Option”) to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Maker to
promptly return to such holder(s) all of the Notes that were submitted for
prepayment by such holder(s) under this Section 3.6 and for which the applicable
Prepayment Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the
Maker via facsimile (the “Void Optional Prepayment
Notice”). Upon the Maker’s receipt of such Void Optional
Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Prepayment
Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon
Triggering Event or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major
Transaction, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to those
Notes submitted for prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has
not been paid, (ii) the Maker shall immediately return any Notes submitted to
the Maker by each holder for prepayment under this Section 3.6(j) and for which
the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price
of such returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion
Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s)
is delivered to the Maker and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period
beginning on the date on which the Notice(s) of Prepayment of Option of Holder
Upon Major Transaction or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon
Triggering Event, as the case may be, is delivered to the Maker and ending on
the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the
Maker; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result
in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. A holder’s
delivery of a Void Optional Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights
following such notice shall not effect the Maker’s obligations to make any
payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice. Payments provided for in this Section 3.6 shall have priority
to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major
Transaction.
Section
3.7 Inability to Fully
Convert.
(a) Holder’s Option if Maker
Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a
Conversion Notice, the Maker cannot issue shares of Common Stock registered for
resale under the Registration Statement if required pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement for any reason, including, without limitation, because the
Maker (w) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized
and available, (x) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or
regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other
self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its
securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the
Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (y) fails to have a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the Registration
Statement, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is
able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice and, with
respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s
option, can elect to:
-15-
(i) require
the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to
issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory
Prepayment”) at a price per share equal to the Triggering Event
Prepayment Price as of such Conversion Date (the “Mandatory Prepayment
Price”);
(ii) if the
Maker’s inability to fully convert is pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(x) above,
require the Maker to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with
such holder’s Conversion Notice;
(iii) void its
Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note
that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the
Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Maker’s obligations
to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice);
(iv) exercise
its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of
Section 3.3(c) of this Note.
In the
event a Holder shall elect to convert any portion of its Notes as provided
herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder
or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any
violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or
for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice,
restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have been
issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an
amount equal to 130% of the principal amount of the Notes the Holder has elected
to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable
to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.
(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling
Holder’s Election. The Maker shall immediately send via
facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice
from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.7(a)
above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice
(the “Inability to
Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice
shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy such
holder’s Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be
converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The
Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.7(a) above
by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Maker (“Notice in Response to
Inability to Convert”).
-16-
(c) Payment of Prepayment
Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Notes prepaid
pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory
Prepayment Price to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Maker’s receipt of
the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior
to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Xxxxxxxxx to
Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the
satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the
Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the
Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of
this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory
Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is one (1) business day
following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to
Convert (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the
arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the
Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount
shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory
Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the
Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full
Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Note, and
(iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Note be adjusted to the
lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder
voided the Mandatory Prepayment and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the
period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the Holder voided
the Mandatory Prepayment.
(d) Pro-rata Conversion and
Prepayment. In the event the Maker receives a Conversion
Notice from more than one holder of the Notes on the same day and the Maker can
convert and prepay some, but not all, of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.7,
the Maker shall convert and prepay from each holder of the Notes electing to
have its Notes converted and prepaid at such time an amount equal to such
holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the principal amount of the Notes held by
such holder relative to the principal amount of the Notes and Other Notes
outstanding) of all the Notes being converted and prepaid at such
time.
Section
3.8 No Rights as
Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed
as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right
to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of
directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a
shareholder of the Maker.

remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other

breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available rights
and remedies, at law or in equity, to seek and obtain such equitable relief,

selected by the Maker and approved by the Lead Purchaser as defined in the
Purchase Agreement). The Maker, at the Maker’s expense, shall cause
the investment bank, the accountant, the law firm, or other expert, as the case
may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Maker and
the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it
receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s,
