(d)             Company’s Report as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment in the Purchase Price, the Company, at its sole expense, shall promptly (i) compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) prepare a report setting forth such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment is based (including, without limitation, (a) the event or events giving rise to such adjustment; (b) the method by which any such adjustment was calculated; and (c) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event or events and as adjusted); (iii) mail a copy of each such report to the Holder; and (iv) keep copies of all such reports available at its principal place of business for inspection during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of this Note, and upon request by the Holder provide copies thereof to such Investor or any such prospective purchaser.

Such stock shall be reserved first as satisfaction of the accrued interest under the Note. If upon any conversion of this Note, a fraction of a share would otherwise result, then in lieu of such fractional share, the Company will pay to the Holder the cash value thereof, calculated on the basis of the applicable Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights with respect to this Note shall terminate immediately after the conversion of this Note (and corresponding payment of interest in stock) in accordance with the terms hereof, whether or not this Note has been surrendered, and this Note shall represent only the right to receive one or more stock certificates from the Company representing the applicable number of shares of Conversion Stock.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire Outstanding Balance shall, after five days written notice from Holder, automatically become immediately due and payable to the Holder without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived and the Company shall promptly pay to Holder all such amounts. In addition, the Company hereby agrees to pay to Holder all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Holder in any effort to collect any amount due under this Note.

 

6.             Affirmative Covenants. So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall:

 

6.1             Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, such compliance to include, without limitations, paying before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges imposed upon it or upon its property except for good faith contests for which adequate reserves are maintained.

 

6.2             Continuance of Business. Maintain its corporate existence and licenses necessary to conduct its business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted, in good standing under, and in material compliance with, all applicable laws and continue to operate the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with its operating plan, as approved by its Board of Directors from time to time.

 

6.3             Reservation of Shares. At all times have authorized and reserved, and will keep available solely for delivery upon the conversion of this Note, Common Stock and other securities and property as from time to time shall be receivable upon the conversion of this Note, free and clear of all restrictions on issuance, sale or transfer other than those imposed by law and free and clear of all pre-emptive rights.

If the anti-dilution provisions under Section 3.3 of this Note result in an adjustment in Holder’s Conversion Right, then a similar adjustment will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock or other property that Holder is entitled to, and the price payable for same, pursuant to the Warrants. The Warrants may be exercised in whole or part in the same manner provided for a conversion under Section 3.2 and Section 4.

 

8.             No Rights or Liabilities as Equity Holder. This Note does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a holder of stock of the Company.

10.             Waivers and Amendments. No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Holder, nor shall any such delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion. This Note may not be amended, waived or modified except by a written instrument signed by the Holder and the Company.

 

11.             Assignment. The rights, interests or obligations hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder. Subject to the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.
