CONVERSION;
ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT; COVENANTS
Section
3.1 (a) Optional
Conversion. 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 (an “
Optional Conversion ”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the
outstanding principal balance under this Note as of such date that the Holder
elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section
3.2(a) hereof) then in effect (the “ Optional Conversion Rate ”)
on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “ Optional Conversion Notice
”), duly executed, to the Company (facsimile number (000) 000-0000, Attn.: Chief
Executive Officer) (an “
Optional Conversion Date ”); provided, however
, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section
3.6 of this Note. The Holder shall deliver this
Note to the Company at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement as soon
as practicable after such time that this Note is fully
converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the
Company shall keep and attach hereto written records of the amount of this Note
converted as of each Conversion Date.
5
(b) Mandatory
Conversion. Effective as of the closing (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) of a
Qualified Financing (as defined below), any and all outstanding principal and
accrued Interest represented by this Note shall automatically (without further
act or deed of the Holder or the Company) convert (the “ Mandatory Conversion ”) into
the type of securities of the Company issued by the Company in the Qualified
Financing (the “ Qualified
Financing Stock ”) by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance
under this Note as of the Mandatory Conversion Date by (y) a conversion price
which shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share at which the
Company sells a share of Qualified Financing Stock in the Qualified Financing or
(ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a)
). A “ Qualified
Financing ” shall occur when both (1) a sale by the Company of shares of
equity of the Company to one or more purchasers generates not less than gross
proceeds to the Company of $5,000,000 closing within one hundred twenty (120)
days of the Issuance Date, and (2) the investors in such Qualified Financing are
issued either convertible preferred stock or fixed price convertible notes of
the Company. The Company shall cause notice of the Mandatory Conversion (the
“ Mandatory Conversion Notice ”) to be
mailed to the Holder, at such Holder’s address, at least ten (10) days prior to
the Mandatory Conversion Date. On or before the Mandatory Conversion
Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note at the place designated in such
notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with address) in which
the certificate or certificates for shares of Qualified Financing Stock which
shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(b) ,
the Holder may convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section
3.1(a) on or prior to the date immediately preceding the date
of such Mandatory Conversion.
Section
3.2 Conversion Price.
(a) The
term “Conversion Price”
shall mean $0.15, subject to adjustment under Section 3.6
hereof.
(b) The
term “Conversion Shares”
shall mean such shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Optional Conversion of
this Note. The term “
Conversion Securities ” shall mean such securities of the Company
issuable upon a Mandatory Conversion of this Note in connection with the
occurrence of a Qualified Financing.
(c) Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a “Black-out Period ”), the
Holder is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon an Optional
Conversion of this Note immediately due to the postponement of filing or delay
or suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or because the
Company has otherwise informed such Holder that an existing prospectus cannot be
used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock, such Holder
shall have the option but not the obligation on any Optional Conversion Date
within ten (10) Trading Days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of
using the Conversion Price applicable on such Optional Conversion Date or any
Conversion Price selected by the Holder that would have been applicable had such
Optional Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or
within the ten (10) Trading Days thereafter. In no event shall the
Black-out Period have any effect on the Maturity Date of this
Note.

Section
3.3 Mechanics of
Conversion.
(a) Not
later than three (3) Trading Days after any Optional Conversion Date or the
Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be (the “ Delivery Date ”), the Company
or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to (i)
the Depository Trust Company (“
DTC ”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission System (“
DWAC ”) as specified in the Optional 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, or (ii) to the Holder, the Conversion
Securities as specified in the Mandatory Conversion
Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the alternative, not later
than the Delivery Date, the Company shall deliver to the 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 and/or the related documentation
of the Qualified Financing, as the case may be) representing the number of
Conversion Shares or Conversion Securities, as the case may be, being acquired
upon the conversion of this Note. If in the case of any Optional
Conversion such DWAC transfer or 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 Company at any time on or before its
receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such Optional
Conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note
tendered for Optional Conversion, whereupon the Company 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
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares or the
Conversion Securities beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to
the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares
via DWAC or a certificate or certificates, as applicable, pursuant to this Section
3.3(b) by the Delivery Date, the Makers 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, as the case may be,
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
or required 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 or required to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B)
$5,000 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 Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing
the Conversion Shares or the Conversion Securities (as the case may be) 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 an Optional Conversion Notice, and upon
such withdrawal the Makers shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages
accrued in accordance with this Section
3.3(b) through the date the Optional Conversion Notice is
withdrawn.
7
(c) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Optional 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 an Optional Conversion of this Note which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ” ), then the Makers
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 an Optional Conversion of this
Note that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the Optional 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 Optional Conversion was not honored or
deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with the Optional 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 Optional 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 Makers shall be required to pay the
Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Makers 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
Makers. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’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 Company’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. 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 and its affiliates at such time, the number
of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder and its affiliates
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common
Stock outstanding at such time; provided , however , that
upon the Holder of this Note providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days
notice (pursuant to Section
4.1 hereof) (the “ Waiver Notice ”) that such
Holder would like to waive this Section
3.4 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note, this Section
3.4 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a
portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided , further , that
during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the Maturity Date of this Note the
Holder may waive this Section
3.4 upon providing the Waiver Notice at any time during such
sixty-one (61) day period; and
provided , further , that
any Waiver Notice during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the Maturity
Date will not be effective until the Maturity Date.
Section
3.5 Intentionally Omitted.
Section
3.6 Adjustment of Conversion
Price.
(a) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(i) Adjustments
for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company 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
Company 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
3.6(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the
date the stock split or combination occurs.
8
(ii)
Adjustments for Certain
Dividends and Distributions. If the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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
3.6(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 to the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment until the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.
(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 3.6(a)(i)
, (ii) and (iii) , or a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.6(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.
9
(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 Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination
of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3.6(a)(i)
, (ii) and (iii) , or a
reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 3.6(a)(iv)
), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation
where the holders of outstanding voting securities of the Company 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
Company’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 (the “ Exchange Act ”), 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) 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 Company or any
successor corporation as it would have received as a result of such Organic
Change if it had converted this Note into Common Stock immediately prior to such
Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is
not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Exchange Act, 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
3.7(b) hereof. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section
3.6(a)(v) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the
Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section
3.6(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) 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.
(1) In
the event the Company shall, at any time within one (1) year following the
Issuance Date (the “ Full
Ratchet Period ”), issue or sell any additional shares of common stock
(otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through
(v) of this Section
3.6(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 (the “ New Conversion Price ”), then
the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to an amount equal
to such New Conversion Price.
10
(2) The
provisions of paragraph (1) of this Section 3.6(a)(vi) shall not
apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an
adjustment is provided under Section
3.6(a)(vii) . No adjustment of the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Note shall be convertible shall be made under paragraph (1)
of this Section
3.6(a)(vi) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock
Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to Section
3.6(a)(vii) .
(vii) Issuance
of Common Stock Equivalents. In the event the Company shall at any
time within the Full Ratchet Period issue any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“ Convertible Securities ”),
other than the Notes, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively,
the “ Common Stock
Equivalents ”) and the aggregate price per share for which Additional
Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock
Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “ Aggregate Per Common Share
Price ”) 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 make the Aggregate
Per Common Share Price 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 3.6(a) on
the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have
been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then
exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier
of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable
Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of
any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment
shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights therefor, then in effect upon the issuance of
such warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor pursuant to this
subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price
upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an
adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or
purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock
Equivalent.
11
(viii) Subsequent
Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents Issues. In the event the
Company, shall, at any time after the Full Ratchet Period, issue or sell any
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (otherwise than as
provided in the foregoing subsections of this Section 4 ), at a
price per share less than the Conversion Price, or without consideration, the
Conversion Price then in effect upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to
that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to
the sum of
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B)
the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which
the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of
Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the then
Conversion Price; and (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock. No adjustment of the number of
shares of Common Stock shall be made upon the issuance of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or
other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any
conversion or exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or
other rights or upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the
issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore).
(ix) 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 Company is the
surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the
previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company 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 market value,
as determined reasonably and in good faith by the board of directors of the
Company (the “ Board ”),
of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as
the 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
(2) in
the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company 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 Company for stock or other securities of
any corporation, the Company 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
Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as
provided in this Section
3.6(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets
as determined in good faith by the Board.
12
(x) Adjustment
for the Failure of a Qualified Financing. If the Company does not
close a Qualified Financing within one hundred twenty (120) days from the
Issuance Date, the Conversion Price of this Note shall be automatically reduced
to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii)
$0.15.
(b) Record
Date. In case the Company 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
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in
connection with (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a
merger, acquisition, or consolidation that do not exceed 25% of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (such
percentage subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with the adjustments to
the Conversion Price contemplated in Section
3 hereof) and such issuances are determined in the light of
the whole transaction to which they are a part to be in the best interests of
the Company, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of
convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the
date of the Purchase Agreement or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (so
long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to
lower such price and/or adversely affect the Holders), (iii) Common Stock issued
or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the
Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans that either (x)
exist on the date of the Purchase Agreement, or (y) do not exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the date of
the Purchase Agreement (such percentage subject to adjustment in a manner
consistent with the adjustments to the Conversion Price contemplated in Section
3 hereof), (iv) securities issued in connection with bona fide
strategic license agreements or other partnering agreements so long as such
issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital which are approved by a
majority of its independent directors and such issuances are determined in the
light of the whole transaction to which they are a part to be in the best
interests of the Company, and (v) a Qualified Financing.
(d) No
Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate 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 Company, but will at all times in good
faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section
3.6 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 Company 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 Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder
in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) 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.
13
(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 3.6 , the
Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.
(f)
Issue Taxes. The Makers 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 securities on conversion of this Note
pursuant thereto; provided,
however , that the Makers 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 the fraction that would evidence such fractional shares 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. The term “ Closing Bid Price ” shall
mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the
Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered
national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is
no such price on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or
quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common
Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national
stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the
National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on
such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin
Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or
agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the
“Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good
faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, or (iv) if the
Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the
Company.
(h) Reservation
of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times when this Note shall
be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock, one hundred twenty percent (120%) of such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect a full Optional
Conversion of this Note. The Company shall, from time to time in
accordance with Delaware law, 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 Company’s obligations under this Section 3.6(h)
..
14
(i)
Regulatory
Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the
purpose of an Optional Conversion of this Note 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 Company
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.

shall deliver the applicable Optional Company Prepayment Price to the Holder,
within five (5) business days after the date specified in the Notice of Optional

calculation of the Optional Company Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy
such Holder of the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement,
the Optional Company Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not
prepaid shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in
full. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.7(d) ,
the Holder may convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section
3.1(a) on or prior to the date immediate preceding the date of
such Optional Prepayment.
15

deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events have
occurred:
(i) the
consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into
another Person (as defined in Section

deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following
events:
(i) Intentionally
Omitted;
(ii) the

requests for conversion of any Notes into shares of Common Stock;
or
16
(iv) the
Company’s failure to comply with an Optional Conversion Notice tendered in
accordance with the provisions of this Note within five (5) Trading Days after

Common Stock and as a result such shares of Common Stock are no longer publicly
traded; or
(vi)

(vii) either
of the Makers breach any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or
condition of the Purchase Agreement, this Note or any other agreement, document,

except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, only if such
breach continues for a period of a least twenty (20) business days.
(g) Intentionally
Omitted.
(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 in no event prior to the public announcement
of such Major Transaction, the Makers shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier (“ Notice of Major Transaction
”) to the Holder of this Note and the Other Holders. 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 during the ten (10) day period prior to a Major
Transaction), the Holder of this Note and the Other Holders of the Other Notes
then outstanding may require the Makers to prepay, effective immediately prior
to the consummation of such Major Transaction, all or any portion of this Note
then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier (“ Notice of
Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction ”) to the Makers,
which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall
indicate (i) the principal amount of this Note that the Holder is electing to
have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as
calculated pursuant to Section
3.7(b) above.
(i) Mechanics
of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event. Within three
(3) business days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Makers shall
deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“ Notice of Triggering Event ”)
to the Holder and the Other Holders. At any time after the earlier of
the Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and the Holder becoming
aware of a Triggering Event, the Holder of this Note and the Other
Holders of the Other Notes then outstanding may require the Makers to prepay all
or any portion of this Note then outstanding by delivering written notice
thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“ Notice of Prepayment at Option of
Holder Upon Triggering Event ”) to the Makers, which Notice of Prepayment
at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the amount of the
Note that the Holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable
Triggering Event Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section
3.7(c) above. The Holder shall only be permitted to
require the Makers to prepay this Note pursuant to Section
3.7 hereof for the greater of a period of ten (10) days after
receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Triggering Event or for so long as such
Triggering Event is continuing.
17
(j) Payment
of Prepayment Price. Upon the Makers’ 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 the Holder or the
Other Holders, the Makers shall notify the Holder or such Other Holders, as the
case may be, by facsimile of the Makers’ 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 within two (2) business days of the Makers’
receipt of the same and the Holder and each Other Holder which has sent such a
notice shall promptly thereafter submit to the Makers this Note (or certificates
representing a portion of this Note if the Holder elects not to have all of the
outstanding principal and accrued Interest hereunder prepaid) or the
Other Notes (or certificates representing a portion of the Other Notes if the
Other Holders elect not to have all of the outstanding principal and accrued
Interest thereunder prepaid) which the Holder or Other Holders, as the case may
be, have elected to have prepaid. The Makers shall deliver the
applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price to the Holder, within five (5)
business days after the Makers’ receipt of this Note or the certificates related
thereto, as the case may be, and, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(h) ,
the Makers shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price
immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that
the Holder’s original Note or the Other Holders’ original Other Notes, or the
certificates related thereto, shall have been so delivered to the Makers; provided
further that if the Makers are unable to prepay all of the
Notes to be prepaid, the Makers shall prepay an amount to the Holder and each
Other Holder of this Note and the Other Notes being prepaid equal to such
holder’s
pro-rata amount of all Notes being prepaid. If the
Makers 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 Default Rate until
paid in full. Until the Makers pay 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
Makers to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the Notes that were submitted
for prepayment by such holder(s) under this Section
3.7 and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been
paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Makers via facsimile (the “ Void Optional Prepayment
Notice ”). Upon the Makers’ 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 ab
initio with respect to those Notes submitted for prepayment
and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) the Makers
shall immediately return any such Notes submitted to the Makers by each holder
for prepayment under this Section 3.7(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 applicable Void
Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Makers 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 Makers and ending on the date on which the Void Optional
Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Makers; 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 Makers’ obligations to make any payments which have accrued
prior to the date of such notice. Payments provided for in this Section
3.7 shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in
connection with a Major Transaction.
18
Section
3.8 Inability to Fully
Convert.
(a) Holder’s
Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt
of an Optional Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue registered shares of
Common Stock, for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company
(x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and
available, (y) 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 Company 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 (z) fails to have a sufficient number
of registered shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall issue as many
shares of registered Common Stock, as it is able to issue in accordance with the
Holder’s Optional Conversion Notice and, with respect to the unconverted portion
of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:
(i) require
the Makers to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Company is unable
to issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Optional 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) require
the Company to issue restricted shares of Common Stock, if it is permissible for
the Company to do so, in accordance with the Holder’s Optional Conversion
Notice;
(iii) void
its Optional Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be,
this Note (or the portion thereof) that was to be converted pursuant to the
Optional Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Optional
Conversion Notice shall not effect the Makers’ obligations to make any payments
which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or
(iv) exercise
its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions
of Section
3.3(c) of this Note.
(b) Mechanics
of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. Upon receipt of a facsimile copy of
an Optional Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as
described in Section
3.8(a) above, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days
send via facsimile to the Holder a notice of the Company’s inability to fully
satisfy the Optional Conversion Notice (the “ Inability to Fully Convert
Notice ”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall
indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s
Optional Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be
converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The
Holder shall notify the Makers of its election pursuant to Section
3.8(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the
Makers (“ Notice in Response to
Inability to Convert ”).
19
(c) Payment
of Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note
prepaid pursuant to Section
3.8(a)(i) above, the Makers shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment
Price to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Makers’ receipt of the
Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that
prior to the Makers’ receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to
Convert the Company 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 Makers shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory
Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is three (3) business days
following the Makers’ 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

Section
4.2 Governing Law; Consent to
Jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge and agree that any claim, controversy,
dispute or action relating in any way to this agreement or the subject matter of
this agreement shall be governed solely by the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to any conflict of laws doctrines. The parties
irrevocably consent to being served with legal process issued from the state and
federal courts located in New York and irrevocably consent to the exclusive
personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts situated in the State of
New York. The parties irrevocably waive any objections to the
personal jurisdiction of these courts. Said courts shall have sole
and exclusive jurisdiction over any and all claims, controversies, disputes and

Section

Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in
this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available
under this Note, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein
shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such
remedy and nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages
for any failure by the Makers to comply with the terms of this
Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to
payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the
amounts to be received by the Holder hereof and shall not, except as expressly
provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Makers (or the
performance thereof). Each of the Makers acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable and material harm to the Holder and
that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore each
Maker agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened 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,
including but not limited to an injunction restraining any such breach or
threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.

Holder incurred as a result of enforcement of this Note, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

assigns are permitted by the terms hereof.

4.7 Amendments. This Note
may not be modified or amended in any manner except in writing executed by the
Makers and the Holder.

Laws. The Holder of this Note acknowledges that this Note is being

Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise

one occasion be deemed a waiver of the same right or rights on any future
occasion.
