1.2 The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Holder in any action brought to enforce the terms of this Note. All payments in respect of this Note shall be in immediately available lawful money of the United States of America. All payments in respect of this Note shall be made unconditionally in full without any deduction, set off, counterclaim or other defense. If any scheduled payment date is not a business day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day. All payments (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4) shall (a) require the payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being paid and (b) shall be applied first, to the payment all accrued but unpaid interest in respect of principal amounts paid and second, to the remaining principal. Any amounts paid or repaid may not be reborrowed.
1.3 Upon exchange or repayment in full of this Note as provided herein, this Note shall be terminated and surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
2. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Holder.
3. Conversion.
3.1 Optional Conversion of the Note. The Holder shall have the right, at any time following the Issuance Date and prior to the Maturity Date to convert all or a portion of the Original Principal Amount of this Note and the accrued interest thereon into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 3.2, in an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the principal and interest being converted by (ii) the closing share price on the Issuance Date of $0.0375 per share (the “Conversion Price”).
The Holder shall provide written notice to the Company of its option to convert the Note into Common Stock, which notice shall be substantially in the form of the Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”).
The Company shall not be required to convert any Note pursuant to any optional conversion pursuant to this Section 3.1 nor shall any conversion pursuant to this Section 3.1 be effective, unless and until the Holder provides a duly and validly executed Notice of Conversion to the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3.2 Adjustment to the Conversion Price. In case (i) the outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares, (ii) a dividend or other distribution in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, (iii) the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares thereof, or (iv) any shares of the Company’s capital stock are issued by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, combination or reclassification or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, combination or reclassification or immediately after the record date of such dividend or distribution, be proportionately adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) prior to such combination, subdivision, reclassification or dividend, and the denominator of which is that number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) after giving effect to such combination, subdivision, reclassification or dividend.
In the case of (i) any reclassification or change of the Common Stock, (ii) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company or (iii) a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case as result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities, or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Holder will be entitled thereafter to convert such securities into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance had such securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance.
2
3.3 Effect of Conversion. Upon the issuance of any Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5, such shares shall be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3.4 Notices of Record Date. In the event (i) the Company fixes a record date to determine the holders of Common Stock who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) there occurs any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Common Stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (a) the date of such record date for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (b) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (c) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
3.5 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note (taking into account the adjustments required by this Section 3), such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the outstanding; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, take all such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
4. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, if any, shall become due and payable immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control. For the purposes of this Note, “Change of Control” shall mean one or more related transactions of any of (a) an acquisition (whether by way of merger, share exchange, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction) by an individual or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, or by contract) of in excess of 50% of the voting securities of the Company, (b) the Company merges into or consolidates with any other entity, or any entity merges into or consolidates with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction, or (c) the Company sells, leases, licenses, conveys, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity.

5. Events of Default
5.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”: (a) the Company fails to pay timely any of the principal amount of or any accrued interest or other amounts due under this Note on the date the same become due and payable; (b) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company that is a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such subsidiary, a “Significant Subsidiary”), files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; (c) default by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary with respect to any mortgage, indenture, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness in excess of $100,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such Significant Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness exists as of the date hereof or is thereafter created (i) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such indebtedness when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) or (ii) constituting a failure to perform or observe any condition, covenant or undertaking (or any other event shall occur or condition exists), if the effect of such failure, event or condition is to cause, or permit the holder or holders of such indebtedness to cause, such indebtedness to be declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity; (d) an involuntary petition is filed against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee or assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary; I the Company breaches any covenant or undertaking under this Note that is not cured within ten (10) business days; (f) any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Note shall have been false, incorrect, in accurate, misleading or breached in any material respect; (g) one or more judgments, non-interlocutory orders, decrees or arbitration awards shall entered against any one or more of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary involving in the aggregate a liability of $100,000 or more (excluding amounts covered by independent third-party insurance to the extent the relevant insurer has not denied coverage therefor), and the same shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated or unstayed pending appeal for a period of 30 days after entry therefor; (h) the Note at any time ceases to be in full force and effect, or the Company shall so assert in writing or disavow any of its obligations thereunder; or (i) the Company dissolves or terminates its business.
5.2 If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Default Interest shall accrue on the outstanding amounts due hereunder until all such Events of Defaults have been cured. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Holder may at any time at its option (a) declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing hereunder, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Company; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clauses (b) or (d) of Section 5.1, the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing hereunder, shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, and/or (b) exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Note. No remedy herein conferred upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every right other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
6. Assignment. This Note shall not be assignable by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder and any such purported assignment shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties. Effective upon any such assignment, any party to whom such rights, interests and obligations were assigned by the Holder or the Company, as applicable, shall have all of the Holder’s or the Company’s, as applicable, rights, interests and obligations hereunder as if such party were the original Holder or Company, as applicable.
