ARTICLE III

 

CONVERSION

 

Upon Company borrowing the term loan pursuant to Section 2.1, this Note shall be convertible into shares of Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III.

 

3.1           Conversion Right. At any time, and from time to time, on or after the date that Company borrows the term loan, Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as hereinafter defined) into fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares, at the Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined). No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note, and any portion of the Conversion Amount that otherwise would be convertible into a fractional share shall be paid in cash in an amount based on the Conversion Price. Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, stamp, documentary and similar taxes (excluding any taxes on the income or gain of Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Conversion Shares to Holder upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

 

3.2           Conversion Rate. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3.1 (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

(a)          “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (i) the portion of the principal to be converted and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal to, but excluding, the Conversion Date.

 

(b)          “Conversion Price” means $1.00 per Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

3.3           Procedure for Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), Holder shall (a) transmit by facsimile or otherwise in accordance with Section 11.2, for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Appendix I (the “Conversion Notice”) to Company and (b) cause this Note to be delivered to Company as soon as reasonably practicable on or following such date (but no later than within two Business Days following the date on which the Conversion Notice is given). On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, Company shall transmit by facsimile or otherwise in accordance with Section 11.2 a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to Holder (at the facsimile number provided in the Conversion Notice) and Company’s transfer agent, if any. On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate (or if consistent with Company’s customary practice for issuing Conversion Shares, non-certificated Conversion Shares represented by book-entry on the records of Company or Company’s transfer agent (the “Book-Entry Shares”)), registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which Holder shall be entitled. Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to Holder a new Note representing the outstanding principal not converted. The Person(s) entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date. Any Conversion Amount converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to be satisfied in full as of the Conversion Date, and thereafter shall no longer accrue interest, regardless of whether and when this Note is surrendered and regardless of when Conversion Shares are issued.

ARTICLE IV

 

Anti-Dilution Provisions; ADJUSTMENT in CONVERSION Amount and Conversion Price

 

The Conversion Price and the Conversion Amount shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Article IV.

 

4.1           Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If Company, at any time and from time to time, (i) takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, or otherwise declares or distributes, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, additional Conversion Shares or Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) splits or subdivides its outstanding Conversion Shares into a greater number of Conversion Shares or Common Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combines its outstanding Conversion Shares into a smaller number of Conversion Shares or Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such case, the Conversion Amount shall be adjusted to equal the product of the Conversion Amount in effect immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of Conversion Shares outstanding immediately after such adjustment and the denominator of which is equal to the number of Conversion Shares outstanding immediately prior to the adjustment, and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.6.

 

4.2           Distributions Payable Other than in Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. If Company declares or pays any dividend or makes any distribution with respect to shares of its Common Stock other than any dividend or distribution paid or payable in Conversion Shares or Common Stock Equivalents or if Company or any Affiliate thereof makes any redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, Holder shall, upon conversion of this Note, promptly receive the cash, stock, securities or property to which Holder would have been entitled by way of (i) dividends and distributions if Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to the declaration of such dividend or the making of such distribution so as to be entitled thereto and (ii) redemption, purchase or other acquisition if Holder had converted this Note in full immediately prior to such redemption, purchase or other acquisition and such redemption, purchase or other acquisition had been consummated on a pro rata basis among all holders of Common Stock (after giving effect to such conversion of the Note).

 

6
 

 

4.3           Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation, or Disposition of Assets. If Company (a) reorganizes its capital, (b) reclassifies its Capital Stock, (c) merges or consolidates with or into another Person (where Company is not the surviving Person or where there is any change in, or distribution with respect to, the outstanding Capital Stock of Company) (a “Merger”), or (d) sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to another Person (a “Disposition of Assets”) and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, Merger or Disposition of Assets, cash, securities or property are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of Company who are holders immediately prior to such transaction, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of this Note, the cash, securities or property receivable by a holder of the number of Conversion Shares for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such event. In the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, Merger or Disposition of Assets, any successor or acquiring Person (other than Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Note and the Shareholders Agreement to be performed and observed by Company and all the obligations and liabilities of Company hereunder and thereunder and, upon Holder tendering this Note for cancellation, shall issue a replacement Note containing substantially the same provisions as this Note, but containing appropriate changes due to such event (such as changes to the name of the issuing company and equitable changes to this Note due to the occurrence of such event). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, Mergers or Dispositions of Assets.

 

4.4           Dissolution, Liquidation and Winding Up. In case Company, at any time prior to the conversion in full of this Note, dissolves, liquidates or winds up its affairs, Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, in lieu of the Common Stock that such Holder would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to such Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such Conversion Shares had such Holder been the holder of record of such Conversion Shares receivable upon the conversion of this Note on the record date for the determination of those Persons entitled to receive any such liquidating distribution, provided, however, that Holder shall not in any case be required to assume or be obligated in respect of any liabilities of Company.

 

4.5          Dilutive Issuances.

 

(a)          If Company shall at any time after the Closing Date and until and including the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) Company’s Next Financing issue or sell any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in a Subsequent Issuance (other than an Exempt Issuance) for a consideration per share less than $0.90 (subject to adjustment pursuant to this Article IV) (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Amount shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Amount immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price then in effect and the denominator of which shall be the per share consideration received or to be received by Company in such Dilutive Issuance; provided that the Conversion Shares issued upon any prior conversion of this Note shall be disregarded (as if the conversion of this Note and the issuance of such Conversion Shares as a result thereof had never happened) to the extent necessary to achieve the same readjustment to the Note under this Section 4.5(a) as if there had been no prior conversion of this Note. If Company shall sell or issue Conversion Shares for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property other than cash or its equivalent, then in determining the fair market value per share and the consideration received or receivable by or payable to Company for purposes of this Section 4.5, the fair value of such property shall be determined reasonably and in good faith by the Company Board. As used herein, “Company’s Next Financing” means the closing of a Subsequent Issuance yielding gross cash proceeds in an aggregate amount of at least $2,000,000.

 

7
 

 

(b)          In the event that Company at any time issues, sells or grants any Common Stock Equivalents in a Dilutive Issuance (other than an Exempt Issuance),  then, for purposes of this Section 4.5, Company shall be deemed to have issued at that time, pursuant to Section 4.5(a), a number of Conversion Shares equal to the maximum number of Conversion Shares that are or shall become issuable upon the exercise of the purchase, conversion or exchange rights associated with such Common Stock Equivalents for consideration per share equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration per share received by Company in connection with the issuance, sale or grant of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus (ii) the minimum amount of consideration per share receivable by Company in connection with the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents. If, at any time after any adjustment of the Conversion Amount shall have been made pursuant to Section 4.5(a) as the result of any issuance, sale or grant of any Common Stock Equivalents, any of such Common Stock Equivalents or the rights of purchase, conversion or exchange associated therewith shall expire, the Conversion Amount then in effect shall be decreased to the Conversion Amount that would have been in effect if such expiring Common Stock Equivalents or rights of purchase, conversion or exchange had never been issued. Similarly, if, at any time after any such adjustment of the Conversion Amount shall have been made pursuant to Section 4.5(a), there is a change in (x) the consideration received or to be received by Company in connection with the issuance or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents, or (y) the conversion ratio applicable to such Common Stock Equivalents so that a different number Conversion Shares shall be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Amount then in effect shall be readjusted to the Conversion Amount that would have been in effect had such changes taken place at the time that such Common Stock Equivalents were initially issued, granted or sold. In no event shall any readjustment under this Section 4.5(b) affect the validity of any Conversion Shares issued upon any conversion of this Note prior to such readjustment; provided that the Conversion Shares issued upon any such prior conversion of this Note shall be disregarded (as if the conversion of this Note and the issuance of such Conversion Shares as a result thereof had never happened) to the extent necessary to achieve the same readjustment to the Conversion Shares under this Section 4.5(b) as if there had been no such prior conversion of this Note. To the extent that an adjustment to the Conversion Amount is made pursuant to Section 4.5(a), upon the issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, no further adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 4.5(a) upon the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of such Common Stock Equivalents.

 

(c)          To the extent that any Equity-Based Payments are made by Company, Company shall pay to Holder in cash, simultaneously with and as a condition to making such Equity-Based Payments, an amount equal to Holder’s pro rata share of the sum of (i) the amount of such Equity-Based Payments and (ii) the payments made to Holder of this Note under this paragraph with respect to such Equity-Based Payments. Holder’s pro rata share, for purposes of this Section 4.5(c), is the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares owned by Holder immediately prior to the Equity-Based Payment to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, without giving effect to Common Stock Equivalents, immediately prior to the Equity-Based Payment.

 

8
 

 

4.6           Adjustment of Conversion Price. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Amount as provided in Sections 4.1 or 4.5, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to be equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by (ii) the quotient of the Conversion Amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the Conversion Amount in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

4.7          Determination of Adjustments.

 

(a)          Upon any event that shall require an adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, Company shall promptly calculate such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Note and prepare a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, such adjustment, the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the number of Conversion Shares then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis and (ii) the Conversion Amount, both as in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and as adjusted on account thereof. Company shall promptly mail a copy of each such certificate to Holder. In the event that Holder objects to the computation of such adjustment prepared by Company within 30 Business Days after receipt thereof, Company shall promptly cause a firm of independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably acceptable to Holder to calculate such adjustment and mail a copy of such computation to Holder, and the computation of such accountants shall be conclusive. Company shall keep at its principal office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by Holder.

 

(b)          For purposes of this Article IV, the consideration received or receivable by Company in connection with the issuance, sale, grant or exercise of additional Conversion Shares or Common Stock Equivalents, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration, shall be valued as follows:

 

(i)          Cash Payment. In the case of cash, the amount received by Company for such issuance, sale, grant or exercise.

 

(ii)         Securities or Other Property. In the case of securities or other property, the fair market value thereof as of the date immediately preceding such issuance, sale, grant or exercise as determined in good faith by the Company Board.

 

(iii)        Allocation Related to Common Stock. In the event Conversion Shares are issued or sold together with other securities or other assets of Company for a consideration that covers both, the consideration received (calculated as provided in (i) and (ii) above) shall be allocable to such Conversion Shares as determined in good faith by the Company Board.

 

(iv)        Allocation Related to Common Stock Equivalents. In case any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold together with other securities or other assets of Company, together constituting one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to the Common Stock Equivalents, the consideration allocable to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be determined in good faith by the Company Board.

 

9
 

 

(v)         Merger or Consolidation. In case any Conversion Shares or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or granted in connection with any merger or combination in which Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation attributable to such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as determined in good faith by the Company Board.

 

(c)          The following additional provisions shall be applicable to the adjustments provided for pursuant to this Article IV:

 

(i)          When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments required by this Article IV shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring such an adjustment shall occur and shall be effective (A) in the case of any dividend or distribution of Common Stock to the holders of Common Stock, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and (B) in the case of any other specified event, at the close of business on the date of such specified event.

 

(ii)         Record Date. In case Company shall take a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or other securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or other securities, then all references in this Article IV to the date of the issuance or sale of such Conversion Shares or other securities shall be deemed to be references to such record date; provided, however, that in the event Company legally abandons such action before its occurrence, then no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

(iii)        Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Article IV, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share; provided, however, that any resulting fractional share interests shall be settled upon conversion of this Note in accordance with Section 3.1.

 

(iv)        Maximum Conversion Price. At no time shall the Conversion Price exceed the amount set forth in Section 3.2(b) of this Note except as the proper result of an adjustment pursuant to this Article IV.

 

(v)         Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company agrees not to enter into any transaction that, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Conversion Price to be less than the par value per share of its Common Stock.

 

(vi)        Independent Application. Except as otherwise provided herein, all sections and subsections of this Article IV are intended to operate independently of one another (but without duplication). If an event occurs that requires the application of more than one section or subsection, all applicable sections and subsections shall be given independent effect.

 

10
 

 

4.8          Breach of Representation and Warranty.

 

(a)          Without limitation of all other remedies available to Holder in this Note or otherwise, in the event that any representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.6 of the Investment Agreement was not true when made, Company shall, at no cost to Holder, increase the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note such that, if such additional Conversion Shares had been issuable on the Closing Date, the representation and warranty in the last sentence of Section 3.6(b) of the Investment Agreement would have been true and accurate in all respects when made.

 

(b)          Any additional Conversion Shares issuable to Holder pursuant to this Section shall be treated as if they were issued on the Closing Date and shall reflect any dividends or other distributions that would have been accrued or have been payable with respect to, and the application of any antidilution, ratable treatment or similar provisions (as set forth herein, in applicable law or otherwise) that would have been applicable to, such Conversion Shares had such additional Conversion Shares been issuable on the Closing Date.

 

(c)          In connection with the issuance of any additional Conversion Shares under this Section, Company shall reserve a sufficient number of Conversion Shares for issuance to Holder upon conversion of the Note.
