Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement.

 

ARTICLE I

 

Section 1.01         Principal and Interest. (a) For value received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the principal sum of _________________________________________ Dollars ($_______) on __________ 2014 (the “Maturity Date”)

 

(b)          The Company further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%), commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the Maturity Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest may be paid in cash or Common Stock of the Company at the Company’s discretion.

 

(c)          From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the interest rate shall be increased to fourteen percent (14%). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the interest as calculated at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of cure of such Event of Default.

 

(d)          Except as otherwise set forth in this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

Section 1.02        Conversion. (a) If the Threshold Amount is not achieved, the Note is convertible at any time following the completion of the Offering, at the option of the Holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 and (ii) 80% of the five (5) day VWAP immediately preceding the conversion date. No fractional shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be issued upon conversion, but the number of shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined below), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE AMEX, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(c)          The Holder shall have piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion.

 

Section 1.03         Absolute Obligation/Ranking.

This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This Note ranks pari passu with all other Notes issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

The Company may change any paying agent or registrar, by giving the Holder not less than five (5) business days’ written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. Upon an assignment of the Note to the Company, the Company may act as paying agent and registrar without regard to the notice provision provided above.

ARTICLE II

 

Section 2.01         Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Conversion Price of this Note shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)          Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any common stock equivalents or rights to purchase stock, Notes, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of 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 Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof) immediately before 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(c)          Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or Notes to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or Notes so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Company’s board of directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(d)          Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2.01 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2.01, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(e)          Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 2.01, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of shares underlying this Note and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
