(c)Mechanics of Conversion.

  

(i)           Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Parent Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Parent. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within three (3) Trading Days, following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 19(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Parent shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation and representation as to whether such shares of Parent Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, (which representation shall not include a factual analysis of whether any share caps have been exceeded) of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day, following the date on which the Parent has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Parent shall (1) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii), and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Parent Common Stock on the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, after the effective date of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Parent shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.

(ii)           Parent’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Parent fails on or prior to a Share Delivery Deadline to issue and deliver a certificate or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s account with DTC (as the case may be pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) and/or pursuant to the Parent’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Parent Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Parent (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Parent shall, within three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, either, at the Holder’s option (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Parent Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Parent’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (II) promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Trading Days following the request by the Holder) honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Holder anticipated receiving from the Parent and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price or Closing Bid Price (as the case may be) of the Parent Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payout under this clause II (or if the Parent is then not a Trading Issuer, the Conversion Price) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing herein or elsewhere shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Parent’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock (or to timely electronically deliver such shares of Parent Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(iii)          Registration; Book-Entry. The Parent and the Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of the Holder and the principal amount of the Notes (and stated interest thereon) held by the Holder (the “Registered Notes”). The Parent and the Holder of the Note shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal, Interest and Late Charges). A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register but only to a Buyer Affiliate (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and/or any other Person in accordance with Section 18. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the Holder, the Parent shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate Principal amount as the Principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 19, provided that if the Parent does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within three (3) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note or elsewhere, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Parent with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Parent shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Parent, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Parent does not update the Register to record such Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.

 

(iv)         Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Parent shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Parent Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

(d)          Limitations on Conversions. Neither the Company nor the Parent shall effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion such determination to be based solely upon the Reported Outstanding Share Number (as defined below) and the number of shares disclosed to the Parent by Holder as being beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Parent Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Parent Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Parent (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including, without limitation, the Parent Note and the Parent Warrant) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Parent’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Parent or (z) any other written notice by the Parent or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Parent shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must (i) notify the Parent of a reduced number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Parent shall return to the Holder any conversion price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Parent shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Parent Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Parent, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Parent, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Parent. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(xxi)       the failure of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) with respect to Registrable Securities to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) unless at such time counsel to the Company provides a legal opinion to the Holder and the Transfer Agent that (i) all Registrable Securities can be sold under Rule 144 without restriction, and (ii) at each time the Holder seeks to sell any such Registrable Securities such counsel provides a legal opinion to the Buyer and the Transfer Agent removing all restrictive and other legends on such Registrable Securities no later than the Share Delivery Date;

(b)          Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company and the Parent shall within one (1) Business Day of such Event of Default deliver a mutual written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default (such earlier date, the “Event of Default Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, an “Event of Default Redemption Right Period”) on the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Event of Default is cured and (y) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company and the Parent, such Event of Default is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company and/or the Parent to cure such Event of Default and (III) a certification as to the date the Event of Default occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Event of Default Notice, the applicable Event of Default Right Expiration Date, the Holder may require the Company and/or the Parent to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company and/or the Parent, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company and/or the Parent pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company and/or the Parent at a price in cash equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) (i) 116% if the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder on a date prior to May 15, 2018, (ii) 117% if the Event of Default Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder after May 15, 2018 but prior to May 15, 2019 and (iii) 118% if the Event of Default Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder after May 15, 2019 but on or prior to the Maturity Date (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company and/or the Parent, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full to the Holder as provided in this Note, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) (together with Late Charges thereon) may be converted in whole or in part by the Holder into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 of this Note. In the event of the Company’s and/or the Parent’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.

 

 12 
 

 

(c)          Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with Late Charges thereon) in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

  

5.             RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

 

(a)          Assumption. Neither the Company nor the Parent shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company, the Parent and each Subsidiary under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note and securities of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any terms or conditions less favorable to the Holder of this Note in any material respect than the terms and conditions set forth in this Note as of such date of determination), including, without limitation, having principal amounts, interest rates and late charges equal to the payment rights and amounts, principal amounts then outstanding, the interest rates and Late Charges of this Note as well as having the conversion rights, redemption rights, rankings, Events of Default the same as in this Note and satisfactory to the Holder and, (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), is a Trading Issuer whose common stock is registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act and is quoted and/or listed for trading on a Qualifying Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” and the “Parent” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and the Parent and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company and the Parent under this Note and the other Transaction Documents, with the same effect as if the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), had been named the Company and the Parent herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Parent Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 6 and Section 16, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter) issuable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section 5(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

 

 13 
 

 

(b)           Notice of a Fundamental Transaction; Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company and the Parent shall deliver a mutually executed written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Fundamental Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Fundamental Transaction if a Fundamental Transaction Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of twenty (20) Trading Days after (i) consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the date of receipt of such Fundamental Transaction Notice, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Company and the Parent, which Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed, and (B) (1) 101% if the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as defined below) is paid in full to the Holder on a date prior to May 15, 2018, (2) 102% if the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder on or after May 15, 2018 but prior to May 15, 2019, and (3) 103% if the Fundamental Transaction Price is paid in full to the Holder on a date following May 15, 2019 on or prior to the Maturity Date (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

6.             RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

 

(a)           Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7 below, elsewhere in this Agreement and/or in any other Transaction Document, if at any time the Parent grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Parent Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Parent Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Parent Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Parent Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

 14 
 

 

(b)           Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights in this Note and/or in any other Transaction Document, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Parent Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company and the Parent shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition to the shares of Parent Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock had such shares of Parent Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Parent Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

 

  7.  RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES PRIOR TO AND FOLLOWING A QUALIFIED IPO.

 

(a)          Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Parent Common Stock. In addition to any other rights of the Holder under this Note and/or any other Transaction Document and without limiting any provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7 and 16 hereof, if the Parent at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 16.1(f), the Parent at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Parent 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 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

 15 
 

 

(b)          Issuance of Securities Below the Conversion Price Prior to the Closing Date of a Qualifying PO.  In addition to and not in limitation of any other rights of the Holder under this Note including, but not limited to, Section 7 and/or any other Transaction Document, if, at any time while this Note is outstanding and whenever on or after the Subscription Date but prior to the closing date of a Qualifying PO (as defined below), the Company, the Parent and/or any Subsidiary in any manner sells or grants any option to purchase, issues or sells or grants any right to reprice, and/or otherwise sells, disposes of and/or issues any shares of Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) (including upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock at a price per share of Parent Common Stock that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “New Issuance Price” and each such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance” and collectively, “Dilutive Issuances”), (if the holder of shares of Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued and/or any holder of Parent Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents as of the Subscription Date or issued subsequent thereto, shall at any time, whether by amendment, supplement, operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise be entitled under the terms of any such instruments to receive shares of Parent Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the then Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the New Issuance Price.  For purposes of clarification, if the Company, the Parent and/or any Subsidiary issues, sells and/or otherwise disposes of any shares of Parent Common Stock at a price less than the then Conversion Price, the then Conversion Price shall immediately be reduced to the New Issuance Price on the date of such Dilutive Issuance. All adjustments provided for in this Section 7(b) shall be made whenever any such Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Dilutive Issuance consists of the issuance and/or sale of both Parent Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents or two or more Common Stock Equivalents as units (each, a “Share and/or a CSE Issuance”), in determining the value of the component parts of the unit issued and/or sold in a Share and/or a CSE Issuance no value will be attributed to Common Stock Equivalents and the New Issuance Price as a result thereof will be the lowest of (i) the lowest purchase price per unit, (ii) the lowest conversion, exercise and/or exchange price to acquire one (1) share of Parent Common Stock of any Common Stock Equivalent included in a unit if a unit also includes shares of Parent Common Stock, and (iii) if no shares of Parent Common Stock are included in a unit, the lowest exercise, conversion and/or exchange price to acquire one (1) share of Parent Common Stock of the Common Stock Equivalents comprising a unit, such lowest price of (i)-(iii) shall be the “Lowest Price;” provided, however, a Dilutive Issuance and a resulting New Issuance Price relating to a Share and/or a CSE Issuance shall only occur if the Lowest Price relating to a Share and/or a CSE Issuance is lower than the then Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.   The Company and the Parent shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the first Trading Day following the issuance of any Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(b), indicating therein the applicable Lowest Price, issuance price, reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Parent provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock based upon the New Issuance Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the New Issuance Price in any Notice of Conversion. For purposes hereof, the term “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities (as defined under the 1933 Act) including, but not limited to, any Options and/or Convertible Securities of the Company, the Parent and/or any Subsidiaries which would entitle the Holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Parent Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the Holder thereof to receive, shares of Parent Common Stock. If the Parent, the Company and/or any Subsidiary enters into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) despite the prohibition set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Parent shall be deemed to have issued shares of Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible price at which such securities may be converted, exchanged and/or exercised under the terms of such Variable Rate Transaction.

 

 16 
 

 

(c)          Issuance of Securities Below the Conversion Price Following the First Trading Day Following the Closing of a Qualifying PO.  In addition to and not in limitation of any other rights of the Holder under this Note including, but not limited to, Section 7 and/or any other Transaction Document, if, at any time while this Note is outstanding and whenever on or after the first Trading Day following the closing date of a Qualifying PO, the Company, the Parent and/or any Subsidiary in any manner sells or grants any option to purchase, issues or sells or grants any right to reprice, and/or otherwise sells, disposes of and/or issues any shares of Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock at a price per share of Parent Common Stock that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Post-QPO New Issuance Price” and each such issuance, a “Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance” and collectively, “Post-QPO Dilutive Issuances”), then immediately after such Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance, the then Conversion Price shall be automatically reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the then Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance (assuming all then issued and outstanding Common Stock Equivalents are exercised, exchanged and/or converted (as the case may be) in accordance with the terms, without giving effect to any limitations on conversions, exchanges and/or exercise in any such Common Stock Equivalents), plus (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Parent for such additional shares of Parent Common Stock would purchase at the then Conversion Price (without giving effect to any limitations on conversions, exchanges and/or exercises in any outstanding Common Stock Equivalents), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after and including such Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance (assuming all then issued and outstanding Common Stock Equivalents were exercised, executed and/or converted (as the case may be) in accordance with the terms, without giving effect to any limitations on conversions, exchanges and/or exercise in any such Common Stock Equivalents, including this Note, the Parent Note and the Parent Warrant). For purposes of clarification, if the Company, the Parent and/or any Subsidiary issues, sells and/or otherwise disposes of any shares of Parent Common Stock at a price less than the then Conversion Price, the then Conversion Price shall immediately be reduced to the Post-QPO New Issuance Price on the date of such Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance as determined above. All adjustments provided for in this Section 7(c) shall be made whenever any such Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Dilutive Issuance results from a Share and/or a CSE Issuance no value will be attributed to Common Stock Equivalents and the New Issuance Price as a result thereof will be the Lowest Price; provided, however, a Dilutive Issuance and a resulting New Issuance Price relating to a Share and/or a CSE Issuance shall only occur if the Lowest Price relating to a Share and/or a CSE Issuance is lower than the then Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.  The Company and the Parent shall provide to the Holder a Dilutive Issuance Notice no later than the first Trading Day following the issuance of any Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(c). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Parent provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice upon the occurrence of any Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock based upon the Post-QPO New Issuance Price on or after the date of such Post-QPO Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Post-QPO New Issuance Price in any Notice of Conversion. If the Parent, the Company and/or any Subsidiary enters into a Variable Rate Transaction despite the prohibition set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Parent shall be deemed to have issued shares of Parent Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible price at which such securities may be converted, exchanged and/or exercised under the terms of such Variable Rate Transaction.

 

(d)          Record Date. If the Parent takes a record of the holders of shares of Parent Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Parent Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Parent Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Parent Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

 17 
 

 

(e)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Parent Common Stock.

 

(f)           Voluntary Adjustability by the Parent. The Parent may at any time which this Note is outstanding, reduce the then Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time decided appropriate by the Board of Directors.

 

8.            CERTAIN RESET RIGHTS UPON A QUALIFYING PO.  If on or after the Subscription Date, the Company consummates a Qualifying PO, and on the closing date of such Qualifying PO, the then Conversion Price is greater than the Qualifying PO Per Share Sale Price (as defined below), then the Conversion Price shall automatically and without any action by the Company or otherwise, be reset to the Qualifying PO Per Share Sale Price.  A “Qualifying PO Per Share Sale Price” shall be as applicable (i) the gross price a share of Parent Common Stock is sold to the public in the Qualifying PO if only shares of Parent Common Stock are sold to the public in such Qualifying PO, (ii) the gross price a unit consisting of shares of Parent Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents is sold to the public in the Qualifying PO, or (iii) the sum of the gross price that (a) one (1) share of Parent Common Stock, and (b) a Common Stock Equivalent is sold to each purchaser in a Qualifying PO.

 

9.             REDEMPTIONS AT THE COMPANY’S ELECTION. Subject to compliance with all of the provisions of this Section 9, at any time after the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the Conversion Amount then outstanding (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”).  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 9 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to (i) if the Company’s Optional Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder on a date prior to May 15, 2018, 101% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) if the Company’s Optional Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder on a date following May 15, 2018 but prior to May 15, 2019, 102% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed, and (iii) the Company’s Optional Redemption Price is paid in full to the Holder after May 15, 2019 but prior to the Maturity Date, 103% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed; provided, however, that provided the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 4(b) including the timely delivery of an Event of Default Notice, and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then on the Company Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or a portion of the Conversion Amount outstanding by the Event of Default Redemption Price in cash on the Company Optional Redemption Date, provided the Company follows all of the provisions set forth in this Section 9. This provision in no way shall limit the right and remedies provided to the Holder pursuant to any provision of this Note and/or elsewhere including, but not limited to, Section 4 or this Section 9 of this Note.  The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 9 by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder, which notice shall include the signature from the Parent acknowledging such redemption and the Holder’s conversion and related rights hereunder for the purpose of acknowledging and being aware of Holder’s conversion rights hereunder (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date the Holder receives such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”).  The Company may not deliver a Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder unless the aggregate Conversion Amount being redeemed pursuant to this Section 9 is at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.  The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than twenty (20) Trading Days nor more than thirty (30) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, (y) certify that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and/or with the giving of notice or the passage of time could occur (or with respect to a Permitted Company EOD Redemption Exception, the date the Event of Default commenced that such Event of Default has been continuing through the date of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (z) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of this Note being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder on the Company Optional Redemption Date.  Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in accordance with Section 12. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 9(a) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 3(d), at any time prior to the date the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price is paid in full (together with Late Charges, if any are owed, thereon), such applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount (together with Late Charges, if any are owed, thereon), may be converted, in whole or in part by the Holder into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. The parties agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 9, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 9 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere, without the express written consent of the Holder, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if at any time commencing on the Company’s Optional Redemption Notice Date and terminating on the Company’s Optional Redemption Date, any Event of Default has occurred and continuing (and/or with the giving of notice or the passage of time could occur as a result of the applicable Company Optional Redemption, but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion.

10.           NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company and the Parent hereby each covenant and agree that neither by amendment of its respective Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Parent (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Parent Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Parent may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock upon each conversion of this Note.

 

11.           RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

 

(a)       Reservation. Commencing as of the Subscription Date and for as long as this Note remains outstanding (the “Share Reserve Period”), the Parent shall at all times have and keep reserved (and shall not reduce such reserve) at least 200% of the maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the full conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations or conversions and assuming for purposes of this Section 11(a) that this Note remains outstanding and is paid in full in cash on May 15, 2020, and the redemption price on such date is the Event of Default Redemption Price (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

 

(b)       Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 11(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while this Note remains outstanding, the Parent does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Parent Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of this Note at least a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Parent shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Parent authorized shares of Parent Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Parent to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days, after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Parent shall either (i) hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Parent Common Stock, or (ii) have cured the Authorized Share Failure by, among other required items, obtaining a written consent of the required percentage of holders of shares of Parent Common Stock for the required increase in authorized shares and had taken any and all other such action necessary to rectify the Authorized Share Failure including, but not limited to, providing the non-consenting stockholders with an information statement and a Form 14(C) and filed with the SEC such Form 14(C). In connection with such meeting as set forth in (i) above, the Parent shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Parent Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Parent is prohibited from issuing shares of Parent Common Stock upon one or more conversions of this Note by the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Parent to have sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares multiplied by (y)  the greatest Closing Sale Price or Closing Bid Price (as the case may be) of the Parent Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Parent and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 11(b) (or the Conversion Price if the Parent and/or the Company is not then a Trading Issuer); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Parent Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section 11(a) or this Section 11(b) shall limit any obligations of the Parent and/or the Company under any provision of this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document.

12.           REDEMPTIONS.

 

(a)       Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice.

The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Documents and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s then payment obligation under such other Transaction Documents. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note (to the extent permitted hereunder), the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price (together with Late Charges thereon), to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price (together with Late Charges thereon), in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the Principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 12, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

(c)          Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 19(d) and in principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(d)          Issuance of New Notes; Signatures. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 19(a) or Section 19(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights, remedies and conditions as this Note, (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges on the Principal and Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date, and (vi) shall be executed by the Company.

20.          REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company and/or the Parent to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company and the Parent jointly and severally covenant to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion, redemptions and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company and/or the Parent (or the performance thereof). The Company and the Parent jointly and severally acknowledge that a breach by either of them of the obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company and the Parent each therefore agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief restraining and/or preventing any such breach or threatened breach without the necessity of showing economic harm and without posting a bond or other security being required.
