The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the remaining outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest of this Note, to convert the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note (each a "Conversion") into full y paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Issuer into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined as provided herein (a "Conversion "); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Issuer subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder , except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso; provided further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not Jess than 61 days' prior notice to the Issuer, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Conversion"), delivered to the Issuer by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Issuer before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). The term "Conversion Amount" means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Issuer's option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date.

 

2.2                Conversion Price. The Conversion Price (the "Conversion Price") shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Issuer relating to the Issuer's securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Issuer, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 40%). "Market Price" means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to the Issuer via facsimile (the "Conversion Date"). "Trading Price" means, for any security as of any date, the prices of the security on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") as reported by a reliable reporting service ("Reporting Service") mutually acceptable to Issuer and Holder, or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the Trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the "pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Issuer and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

  

 
 

 

2.3Anti-Dilution Provisions.

 

 

2.3.1        Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc.

The purpose of the adjustment shall be that, in the event of a conversion at any time after the occurrence of any event described in (i) through (v) above, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the shares of Conversion Stock (or other securities) to which such Holder would have been finally entitled, after giving effect to the occurrence of such event, as if such Holder had converted this Note immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.3. 1 shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately upon the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution. The Corporation shall take no such action with respect to the Common Stock unless the Corporation shall simultaneously reserve out of the authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of common stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to be available for full conversion of the Note at the new Conversion Price.

 

2.3.2        Adjustment for Consolidation or Merger.

In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Note after the transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 2 shall be applicable after that event. The Corporation shall take no such action with respect to the Common Stock unless the Corporation shall simultaneously reserve out of the authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of such class or series into which the Common Stock has been changed a sufficient number of shares of such class or series into which the Common Stock has been changed to be available for full conversion of the Note at the new Conversion Price.

The Issuer covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. .

2.6          Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Issuer, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Note.

When the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Issuer shall file with its official corporate records a certificate of its chief financial or accounting officer setting forth in detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the computation thereof and the adjusted Conversion Price, and shall mail a copy of the certificate to the Holder.

 

2.8          DTC Status.

In the event, the Company's Common Stock becomes subject to a Deposit Chill, the Variable Conversion Rate shall be amended to 35% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 65%).

 

2.9          Short Sales. Other than the transaction contemplated hereunder, the Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, executed any disposition, including Short Sales, in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that such Investor first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company.

If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower's obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.

2.13      Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder's right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock through willful or deliberate acts on the part of the Borrower. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shal1 be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 2.13 are justified.
