Capitalized terms used in this Note without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.
2. Maturity; Payments; Prepayment; Waiver of Presentment.
(a) Maturity Date. This Note shall mature 1 year from date of issuance (which shall be the Closing Date) (the “Maturity Date”). At any time commencing on the date 6 months from the date of issuance, if this Note has not been paid in full, the Holder, may, by providing a Conversion Notice to the Company in accordance with Section 3, below, elect to be paid in cash all unpaid accrued interest of this Note through the Conversion Date and convert the unpaid principal of the Note into shares of CHC Common Stock in accordance with Section 3. Upon Maturity, the holder may (i) demand payment of the entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest under this Note (a “Payment Demand”) or (ii) continue to hold this Note, in which case this Note shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum compounded annually, until such time as (x) Holder makes a Payment Demand and the Note is repaid in full; or (y) this Note is converted in full pursuant to Section 3.
(b) Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal amount shall accrue at the rate of 5% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue on the outstanding principal balance hereof until paid in full.
(c) Payments.
(i) Following the Maturity Date, the Company shall give the Holder written notice at least 15 days prior to any repayment of this Note so that Holder may elect to convert the Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to any such repayment.
(ii) All payments of principal and interest shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be payable at the office of the Holder listed on the Company’s records, unless another place of payment shall be specified in writing by the Holder. All payments shall be applied first to any fees or expenses due to the Holder then to accrued interest, including any interest that accrues after the commencement of a proceeding by or against the Company under Title 11 of the United States Code, and thereafter to the outstanding principal balance hereof. If any payments on this Note become due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of Nevada, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
(d) Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid by the Company within 6 months from the date of issuance without the written consent of the Holder.
(e) Waiver. The Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.
3. Conversion.
(a)
(i) After 6 Months but Prior to the Maturity Date. Within 3 business days of the receipt by the Company from the Holder of a written notice to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 3 given at any time that is more than 6 months after the date hereof but prior to one (1) year after the date of issuance of this note (a “Conversion Notice”), (A) the Company shall pay to the Holder any accrued and unpaid interest through the date on which such Conversion Notice is given (the “Conversion Date”), and (B) the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to convert the entire outstanding principal balance hereof into a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “CHC Common Stock”) equal to (x) the outstanding principal balance hereof, divided by $2.35 (the “Conversion Price”);
(ii) After the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, if the Holder desires to convert this Note, he shall follow the procedures set forth under 3(a)(i) above except that the Conversion Price shall be the the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the written Conversion Notice provided to the Company electing to convert this Note.
(b) Conversion Procedures. Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) or Section 3(a)(ii), this Note shall be converted automatically without any further action by the Holder and whether or not this Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.
(c) Fractional Equity. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. All shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, either pay the Holder who is otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of the Company) or issue a full share in lieu of such fractional share.
(d) Adjustment of Conversion Price. If the Company subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of CHC Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of CHC Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
