.117 Conversion Mechanics.
 
.1 Surrender of Note Upon Optional Conversion.   In order to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) into Conversion Shares pursuant to an Optional Conversion, the Holder shall be required to physically surrender this Note (or an affidavit of lost Note, together with an applicable bond, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel) along with a Conversion Notice to the Company (at its principal place of business) as a condition precedent to receive a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares.
 
.2 Surrender of Note Upon Mandatory Conversion.  In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, the Holder shall be required to physically surrender this Note (or an affidavit of lost Note, together with an applicable bond, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel) no later than five (5) business days after the Maturity Date, to the Company (at its principal place of business) as a condition precedent to receive a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares.

.118 Limitation on Optional Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon an Optional Conversion of this Note shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), does not exceed 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the Conversion Shares issuable upon such exercise) (the “Conversion Limit”). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This restriction may not be waived.  In the event that the number of Conversion Shares to be issued will cause the Holder’s ownership of Common Stock to exceed the Conversion Limit, the Principal Amount of this Note to be converted shall be reduced such that the number of Conversion Shares to be issued shall not cause the Holder to exceed the Conversion Limit and the Company shall issue the Holder a new Note, for the portion of the Principal Amount that was not converted to Conversion Shares.
 
.119 Sale or Transfer of Conversion Shares.  Conversion Shares may not be sold or transferred unless  (i) such Conversion Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of  counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration.   Each certificate for Conversion Shares that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR REGULATION S UNDER SAID ACT.”
 
.120 Dispute Resolution.  In the case of any dispute with respect to the number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall promptly issue such number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via fax (or, it the Holder has not provided the Company with a fax number, by overnight courier) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of: (i) in the case of an Optional Conversion, the Holder’s Optional Conversion Notice and (ii) in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, the Holder’s Notice of Objection.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree as to the determination of the Conversion Price within five (5) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall in accordance with this Section, submit via facsimile the disputed determination to its independent auditor.  The Company shall cause its independent auditor to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results promptly, in writing and in sufficient detail to give the Holder and the Company a clear understanding of the issue.  The determination by the Company’s independent auditor shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.  The Company shall then on the next Business Day instruct its transfer agent to issue certificate(s) representing the appropriate number of Conversion Shares in accordance with the independent auditor’s determination and this Section.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of all fees and expenses of such determination and calculation.
 
Exhibit 10.21 Form of Note

 
Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
 
.121 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date effects a stock split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before such stock split or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company at any time or from time to time effects a reverse stock split or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before such reverse stock split or combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this Section 6A shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
.122 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date makes or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is 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; provided, however, that if such record date is 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 recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6B as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
 
.123 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Note shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which the Holder would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by the Holder as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Note.
 
.124 Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event that at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), then and in any such event the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter upon conversion of this Note to receive the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable by holders of Common Stock upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, that the Holder would have received if this Note had been converted to Conversion Shares immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
.125 Adjustment for Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 6) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Note shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Note after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares to be received upon conversion of this Note) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
 
.126 Adjustment for Sale of Shares Below Conversion Price.
 
.1 In the event the Company shall at any time issue Additional Stock (as defined below) at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration (a “Trigger Issuance”) then the Conversion Price then in effect upon each such Trigger Issuance shall be adjusted to a price determined as follows:
 
Exhibit 10.21 Form of Note

 
                                                 Conversion Price  = (A x B) + D
                                                                                          A + C
Where:
“A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including Additional Stock deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“B” equals the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance,

provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be greater than the Conversion Price immediately prior to such Trigger Issuance.
 
.2 “Additional Stock” shall mean Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, including shares held in the Company’s treasury, and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any options, rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issued upon the direct or indirect conversion or exchange of securities for shares of Common Stock, other than Additional Stock:

.E issued or issuable as a result of any anti-dilution in any outstanding securities of the Company that are outstanding on the Issue Date.
 
.127 No Adjustments in Certain Circumstances. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five ($0.05) cents in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6G are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
