7. Conversion.
(a) Conversion by Holder. At any time or from time to time on or before the Maturity Date of this Note, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option and by written notice to the Company, to convert this Note, in whole or in part, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company at the “Conversion Price” (as defined below) then in effect; such conversion to be effective as of the Conversion Date. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which this Note may be converted (the “Conversion Shares”) shall equal to the result of dividing (i) the principal amount of this Note to be converted, plus all accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note to be converted, by (ii) the Conversion Price, Subject to adjustment as provided below, the Conversion Price shall be Sixty Cents (US $0.60).
The Conversion Shares and the Conversion Price are subject to adjustment in accordance with this Section 7.
(b) Conversion Procedure. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock , he or it shall give written notice in substantially the same form as Exhibit I, postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 7(a), and shall state therein the amount of the unpaid amount of this Note to be converted, the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued, the number of Conversion Shares to be issued and the Conversion Price per share (the “Conversion Notice”). In addition the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company and the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter (but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), issue and deliver to the Holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon conversion (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws), together with a replacement Note (if any amount is not converted) and any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note. The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Note, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date.
(c) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon conversion up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(d) Effect of Certain Events.
(i) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of Stock or securities of the Company or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of the Holder’s Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Class A Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such Stock , securities or assets which the holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Holder’s Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of the Holder’s Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Company shall not effect any transaction described in this Section 7(d)(i) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of Stock holders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the holder shall be entitled to convert the Holder’s Note notwithstanding Section 7(d)(iii)), and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 7(d)(i). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
- 4-
(ii) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Class A Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital Stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of the Holder’s Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the holder with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution and the Note shall be deemed repaid by the amount of the fair value of the Distribution.
(iii) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Class A Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Class A Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the lower of (i) the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance and (ii) the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Section 7(e)(vi) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (B) the denominator of which is the Class A Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance; provided that only one adjustment will be made for each Dilutive Issuance. The term “Class A Common Stock Deemed Outstanding” shall mean the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Class A Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (i) pursuant to Section 7(e)(i) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Options, as of the date of such issuance or grant of such Options, if any, and (ii) pursuant to Section 7(e)(ii) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any. No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
- 5-
(e) Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price, the following will be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Class A Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Class A Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Class A Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price on the date of issuance or grant of such Options, then the maximum total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Class A Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Class A Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Class A Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Class A Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Price. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.
- 6-
(iv) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If the Company at any time subdivides (by any Stock split, Stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Class A Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after such date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse Stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Class A Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
(v) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Conversion Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(vi) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of the Holder’s Note will be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock , Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock , Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock , Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(vii) Exceptions to Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made (A) upon the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock or options or warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock to employees of the Company pursuant to any Stock or option plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on or before the date hereof, (B) the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of any of the Warrants or (C) the issuance of securities pursuant to and as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company, Amalphis Group Inc., and Global Asset Fund Limited.
- 7-
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall give notice thereof to the Holder of this Note, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of such Holder’s Note, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation.
(g) Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Conversion Notice by a holder of a Note, (i) the shares covered thereby shall be deemed converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the holder’s rights as a holder of such converted portion of the Holder’s Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Class A Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such holder because of a failure by the Company to comply with the terms of the Holder’s Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder has not received certificates for all shares of Class A Common Stock on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Conversion Notice with respect to a conversion of any portion of the Holder’s Note for any reason, then the holder may elect at such holder’s option to regain the rights of a holder of the Holder’s Note with respect to such attempted converted portions of the Holder’s Note and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, return such attempted converted Note to the holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of the Holder’s Note has not been converted. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Company’s failure to convert the Holder’s Note.
8. Notices of Record Date, etc. Upon:
(a) Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus at the same rate as that of the last such cash dividend theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or
(b) Any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital Stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other Person or any consolidation or merger involving the Company; or
(c) Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company (including any deemed liquidation pursuant to the Articles),
then, the Company will mail to the Holder of this Note at least twenty (20) days prior to the earliest date specified above, a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right; and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective and the record date for determining Stock holders entitled to vote thereon.
9. Reservation of Stock Issuable upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of each series of its authorized but unissued shares of the Class A Common Stock enough shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into such number of shares of the Class A Common Stock and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, and any accrued interest, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder of this Note, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of the Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
- 8-
10. Indemnification.
(a) Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in the Transaction Documents will survive the Issuance Date. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages (as defined below) or other remedy based on such representations, warranties and covenants will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty or covenant. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties and covenants.
(b) Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, and each of its officers, partners, managers, and all Persons who control (as such term is defined under the Securities Act or the 34 Act) the Holder (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), and will pay to the Indemnified Parties the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense, including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees, (collectively, “Damages”) arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Note or the other Transaction Documents or (ii) any breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation of the Company in this Note and the other Transaction Documents.
(c) Time Limitations. The Company shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty, unless on or before the date that is one (1) year from the Effective Date under the Loan Agreement, an Indemnified Party notifies the Company of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such Indemnified Party.
(d) Procedure for Indemnification. If a claim is to be made against the Company under Section 10(b), the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Company of such claim. In the event that the Company objects in writing to any claim for Damages, the Indemnified Party and the Company shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. The remedies provided in this Section 10 will not be exclusive of or limit any other remedies that may be available to the Buyers. When determining Damages under this Section 10 all materiality qualifiers will be disregarded.
