ARTICLE III
CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT; COVENANTS
Section 3.1 (a) Optional Conversion. At any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder (an “Optional Conversion”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a) hereof) then in effect (the “Optional Conversion Rate”) on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “Optional Conversion Notice”), duly executed, to the Company (facsimile number ###-###-####, Attn.: Chief Executive Officer) (an “Optional Conversion Date”); provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.6 of this Note. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Company at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement as soon as practicable after such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Company shall keep and attach hereto written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.
5
(b) Mandatory Conversion. Effective as of the closing (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) of a Qualified Financing (as defined below), any and all outstanding principal and accrued Interest represented by this Note shall automatically (without further act or deed of the Holder or the Company) convert (the “Mandatory Conversion”) into the type of securities of the Company issued by the Company in the Qualified Financing (the “Qualified Financing Stock”) by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance under this Note as of the Mandatory Conversion Date by (y) a conversion price which shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share at which the Company sells a share of Qualified Financing Stock in the Qualified Financing or (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a)). A “Qualified Financing” shall occur when both (1) a sale by the Company of shares of equity of the Company to one or more purchasers generates not less than gross proceeds to the Company of $5,000,000 closing within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Issuance Date, and (2) the investors in such Qualified Financing are issued either convertible preferred stock or fixed price convertible notes of the Company. The Company shall cause notice of the Mandatory Conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to be mailed to the Holder, at such Holder’s address, at least ten (10) days prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date. On or before the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note at the place designated in such notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Qualified Financing Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(b), the Holder may convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a) on or prior to the date immediately preceding the date of such Mandatory Conversion.
Section 3.2 Conversion Price.
(a) The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.15, subject to adjustment under Section 3.6 hereof.
(b) The term “Conversion Shares” shall mean such shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Optional Conversion of this Note. The term “Conversion Securities” shall mean such securities of the Company issuable upon a Mandatory Conversion of this Note in connection with the occurrence of a Qualified Financing.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a “Black-out Period”), the Holder is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon an Optional Conversion of this Note immediately due to the postponement of filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or because the Company has otherwise informed such Holder that an existing prospectus cannot be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock, such Holder shall have the option but not the obligation on any Optional Conversion Date within ten (10) Trading Days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such Optional Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by the Holder that would have been applicable had such Optional Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) Trading Days thereafter. In no event shall the Black-out Period have any effect on the Maturity Date of this Note.
6
Section 3.3 Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Optional Conversion Date or the Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be (the “Delivery Date”), the Company or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to (i) the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Optional Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, or (ii) to the Holder, the Conversion Securities as specified in the Mandatory Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the alternative, not later than the Delivery Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement and/or the related documentation of the Qualified Financing, as the case may be) representing the number of Conversion Shares or Conversion Securities, as the case may be, being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. If in the case of any Optional Conversion such DWAC transfer or certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such Optional Conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note tendered for Optional Conversion, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker.
(b) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares or the Conversion Securities beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) by the Delivery Date, the Makers shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered, as the case may be, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested or required to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested or required to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $5,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing the Conversion Shares or the Conversion Securities (as the case may be) within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw an Optional Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Makers shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Optional Conversion Notice is withdrawn.
7
(c) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Optional Conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Optional Conversion of this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Makers shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Optional Conversion of this Note that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Optional Conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such Optional Conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with the Optional Conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Optional Conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Makers shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Makers written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Makers. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 3.4 Ownership Cap and Certain Conversion Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder of this Note providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that such Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the Maturity Date of this Note the Holder may waive this Section 3.4 upon providing the Waiver Notice at any time during such sixty-one (61) day period; and provided, further, that any Waiver Notice during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the Maturity Date will not be effective until the Maturity Date.
Section 3.5 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.6 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
8
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.6(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.
(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.6(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note and the Other Notes; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment until the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
9
(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.6(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3.6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 3.6(a)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities of the Company prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change, (A) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation as it would have received as a result of such Organic Change if it had converted this Note into Common Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Exchange Act, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, the Holder shall have the right to demand prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(b) hereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.6(a)(v) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.6(a)(v) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.
(vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(1) In the event the Company shall, at any time within one (1) year following the Issuance Date (the “Full Ratchet Period”), issue or sell any additional shares of common stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 3.6(a) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration (the “New Conversion Price”), then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to an amount equal to such New Conversion Price.
10
(2) The provisions of paragraph (1) of this Section 3.6(a)(vi) shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 3.6(a)(vii). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note shall be convertible shall be made under paragraph (1) of this Section 3.6(a)(vi) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(vii).
(vii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. In the event the Company shall at any time within the Full Ratchet Period issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Notes, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) and the aggregate price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share Price”) shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Common Share Price be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (vi) of this Section 3.6(a) on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor pursuant to this subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
11
(viii) Subsequent Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents Issues. In the event the Company, shall, at any time after the Full Ratchet Period, issue or sell any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, or without consideration, the Conversion Price then in effect upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the then Conversion Price; and (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock shall be made upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore).
(ix) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:
(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair market value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.6(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board.
12
(x) Adjustment for the Failure of a Qualified Financing. If the Company does not close a Qualified Financing within one hundred twenty (120) days from the Issuance Date, the Conversion Price of this Note shall be automatically reduced to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) $0.15.
(b) Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.
(c) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation that do not exceed 25% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (such percentage subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with the adjustments to the Conversion Price contemplated in Section 3 hereof) and such issuances are determined in the light of the whole transaction to which they are a part to be in the best interests of the Company, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the Holders), (iii) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans that either (x) exist on the date of the Purchase Agreement, or (y) do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (such percentage subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with the adjustments to the Conversion Price contemplated in Section 3 hereof), (iv) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering agreements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital which are approved by a majority of its independent directors and such issuances are determined in the light of the whole transaction to which they are a part to be in the best interests of the Company, and (v) a Qualified Financing.
(d) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Notes as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Notes the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.
13
(e) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.6, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
(f) Issue Taxes. The Makers shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of securities on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Makers shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
(g) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of the fraction that would evidence such fractional shares multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(h) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, one hundred twenty percent (120%) of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect a full Optional Conversion of this Note. The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Delaware law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under this Section 3.6(h).
14
(i) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of an Optional Conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

(a) Prepayment Upon an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections 2.1(b)-(i), (l), (m) and (n) hereof, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Makers to prepay in cash all or a portion of this Note at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid Interest applicable at the time of such request. Nothing in this Section 3.7(a) shall limit the Holder’s rights under Section 2.2 hereof.

(d) Optional Prepayment by Company. In addition to all other rights of the Company contained herein, at any time after six (6) months from the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right, solely at the Company’s option, to prepay in cash (the “Optional Prepayment”) at a price equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon to the date of such Optional Prepayment (the “Optional Company Prepayment Price”) by providing written notice of at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the consummation of the Optional Prepayment via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Optional Prepayment”) to the Holder of this Note and the Other Holders. The Company may pay, upon an Optional Prepayment, all accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, by issuing the Holders additional Notes with a principal amount equal to the Interest then due and payable (a “PIK Note”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Optional Company Prepayment Price to the Holder, within five (5) business days after the date specified in the Notice of Optional Prepayment for the Optional Prepayment. If the Company shall fail to prepay the Notes (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Optional Company Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such Holder of the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the Optional Company Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.7(d), the Holder may convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a) on or prior to the date immediate preceding the date of such Optional Prepayment.
15

(g) Intentionally Omitted.
(h) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Major Transaction, but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Makers shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Major Transaction”) to the Holder of this Note and the Other Holders. At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time during the ten (10) day period prior to a Major Transaction), the Holder of this Note and the Other Holders of the Other Notes then outstanding may require the Makers to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, all or any portion of this Note then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction”) to the Makers, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the principal amount of this Note that the Holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.7(b) above.
17
(i) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event. Within three (3) business days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Makers shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to the Holder and the Other Holders. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and the Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, the Holder of this Note and the Other Holders of the Other Notes then outstanding may require the Makers to prepay all or any portion of this Note then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event”) to the Makers, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the amount of the Note that the Holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.7(c) above. The Holder shall only be permitted to require the Makers to prepay this Note pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof for the greater of a period of ten (10) days after receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Triggering Event or for so long as such Triggering Event is continuing.
(j) Payment of Prepayment Price. Upon the Makers’ receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction from the Holder or the Other Holders, the Makers shall notify the Holder or such Other Holders, as the case may be, by facsimile of the Makers’ receipt of such Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction within two (2) business days of the Makers’ receipt of the same and the Holder and each Other Holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly thereafter submit to the Makers this Note (or certificates representing a portion of this Note if the Holder elects not to have all of the outstanding principal and accrued Interest hereunder prepaid) or the Other Notes (or certificates representing a portion of the Other Notes if the Other Holders elect not to have all of the outstanding principal and accrued Interest thereunder prepaid) which the Holder or Other Holders, as the case may be, have elected to have prepaid. The Makers shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price to the Holder, within five (5) business days after the Makers’ receipt of this Note or the certificates related thereto, as the case may be, and, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(h), the Makers shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that the Holder’s original Note or the Other Holders’ original Other Notes, or the certificates related thereto, shall have been so delivered to the Makers; provided further that if the Makers are unable to prepay all of the Notes to be prepaid, the Makers shall prepay an amount to the Holder and each Other Holder of this Note and the Other Notes being prepaid equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount of all Notes being prepaid. If the Makers shall fail to prepay all of the Notes submitted for prepayment (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full. Until the Makers pay such unpaid applicable Prepayment Price in full to a holder of the Notes submitted for prepayment, such holder shall have the option (the “Void Optional Prepayment Option”) to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Makers to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such holder(s) under this Section 3.7 and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Makers via facsimile (the “Void Optional Prepayment Notice”). Upon the Makers’ receipt of such Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Prepayment Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction, as the case may be, shall be null and void ab initio with respect to those Notes submitted for prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) the Makers shall immediately return any such Notes submitted to the Makers by each holder for prepayment under this Section 3.7(j) and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Makers and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice(s) of Prepayment of Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event, as the case may be, is delivered to the Makers and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Makers; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. A holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Makers’ obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. Payments provided for in this Section 3.7 shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.
18
Section 3.8 Inability to Fully Convert.
(a) Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt of an Optional Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue registered shares of Common Stock, for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (z) fails to have a sufficient number of registered shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall issue as many shares of registered Common Stock, as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Optional Conversion Notice and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:
(i) require the Makers to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Optional Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price per share equal to the Triggering Event Prepayment Price as of such Conversion Date (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”);
(ii) require the Company to issue restricted shares of Common Stock, if it is permissible for the Company to do so, in accordance with the Holder’s Optional Conversion Notice;
(iii) void its Optional Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note (or the portion thereof) that was to be converted pursuant to the Optional Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Optional Conversion Notice shall not effect the Makers’ obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or
(iv) exercise its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.3(c) of this Note.
19
(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. Upon receipt of a facsimile copy of an Optional Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.8(a) above, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days send via facsimile to the Holder a notice of the Company’s inability to fully satisfy the Optional Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s Optional Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The Holder shall notify the Makers of its election pursuant to Section 3.8(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Makers (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).
(c) Payment of Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note prepaid pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i) above, the Makers shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Makers’ receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Makers’ receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Company has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Makers shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is three (3) business days following the Makers’ receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Note, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Note be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Optional Conversion Date and ending on the date the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment.
(d) Pro-rata Conversion and Prepayment. In the event the Company receives an Optional Conversion Notice from the Holder and the Other Holders on the same day and the Company can convert and prepay some, but not all, of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.8, the Company shall convert and prepay from the Holder and each Other Holder electing to have its Other Notes converted and prepaid at such time an amount equal to the Holder or such Other Holder’s pro-rata amount of all the Notes and the Other Notes being converted and prepaid at such time.
Section 3.9 No Rights as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
