3. Subscription Agreement
3.1 The Holder has acquired this Note, and this Note has been issued, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and this Note is subject in all respects to the terms of the Subscription Agreement and incorporates the terms of the Subscription Agreement, provided that, in the event of a conflict between this Note and the Subscription Agreement, the terms of this Note shall prevail.
4. Security
4.1 The amounts owing and the obligations of the Issuer under this Note are secured by the following security (as each may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time):
| (a) | a general security agreement dated as of the date hereof granted by the Issuer in favor of the Holder (the “Security Agreement”); and |
5. Conversion
5.1 The Issuer and the Holder agree that up to ONE HUNDRED TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY-SEVEN DOLLARS ($102,997.67) of the Principal Amount, plus accrued interest thereon, (the “Conversion Amount”), will, at the election of the Holder be either: (a) repaid by the Issuer, in cash, or (b) converted into Conversion Shares.
5.2 This Note is convertible up to the Conversion Amount, at the discretion of the Holder, into Conversion Shares. The conversion price per Conversion Share will be equal to Seven Cents ($0.07) per Share (the “Conversion Price”). For greater certainty, a conversion of the entire Conversion Amount effected on the date hereof would result in the issuance to Holder of One Million Four Hundred Seventy-One Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Five (1,471,395) common shares of Issuer.
| - 3 - |
5.3 In order to effect any conversion under this Note, the Holder must provide written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Issuer at anytime but not less than ten (10) days prior to the Maturity Date (the “Conversion Deadline”) specifying therein the portion of the Conversion Amount to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected. Multiple conversions up to the Conversion Amount and accrued interest may be effected at Holder’s election hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Issuer unless the entire Principal Amount together with accrued interest then remaining unpaid at that time has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Issuer shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5.4 In the event that the Holder has not provided a Conversion Notice by the Conversion Deadline, the Issuer will repay the Principal Amount, plus any accrued interest thereon, in cash, to the Holder on the Maturity Date.
5.5 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Principal Amount shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the Conversion Amount and (y) is the Conversion Price.
5.6 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any accrued and outstanding interest on this Note shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of accrued interest to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price.
5.7 Not later than five (5) Business Days after any Conversion Date, the Issuer will deliver to the Holder a certificate representing the Conversion Shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law) representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares being acquired.
5.8 Upon any conversion hereunder, the Issuer shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Conversion Share, and the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
5.9 If the Issuer, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (a) subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of Shares, (b) combines (including by way of reverse split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, or (c) issues, by reclassification of Shares, any equity securities of the Issuer, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares outstanding before such event and the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall become effective after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or re-classification.
| - 4 - |
5.10 In the event of: (a) any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Issuer, (b) the consolidation or merger of the Issuer with another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or (c) the sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Issuer (any of the events described in this sentence, a “Significant Transaction”), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such Significant Transaction.
6. Repayment
6.1 Payment of this Note (less any tax required to be withheld by the Issuer) shall be paid to the Holder by the Issuer by certified check or by such other method as may be mutually agreed to by the Holder and the Issuer from time to time.
7. Prepayment
7.1 Subject to the Holder’s rights of conversion set out in Section 5, and subject to the prepayment terms and conditions set out in this Section 7, the Issuer may, at its option, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon twenty calendar days prior written notice to the Holder (a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay any portion of the Principal Amount, and accrued interest thereon, without the prior written consent of the Holder.
7.2 The Prepayment Notice shall set forth the date on which prepayment is to occur, such date being no earlier than twenty calendar days after the date of the Prepayment Notice and no later than the Maturity Date (in any case, the “Prepayment Date”), and shall set forth that portion of the Principal Amount to be prepaid, along with the calculated accrued interest thereon through and including the Prepayment Date (the “Prepayment Amount”).
7.3 The Prepayment Amount (less any tax required to be withheld by the Issuer) shall be paid to the Holder by the Issuer by certified check or such other method as may be mutually agreed to by the Holder and the Issuer from time to time. The mailing of such check, or payment by other means, by the Issuer on or before the Prepayment Date shall be deemed to be payment on the Prepayment Date unless the check is not paid upon presentation, or payment by such other means as may be mutually agreed to by the Holder and the Issuer is not received prior to the Prepayment Date.
7.4 At any time after a Prepayment Notice is given, the Issuer shall have the right to deliver to the Holder, or to such other Person as may be directed by the Holder, the Prepayment Amount. Upon the delivery of the Prepayment Amount to the Holder being made, or upon the Prepayment Date, whichever is later, the Note shall be, and be deemed to be, paid and the rights of the Holder shall be limited to receiving, without interest, the amount so deposited. Any interest allowed on such deposit shall accrue to the Issuer.

| (d) | a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against the Issuer seeking any reorganization, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such order, judgment or decree remains unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) Business Days (whether or not consecutive) from the first date of entry thereof; or any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Issuer is appointed without the consent or acquiescence of the Issuer and such appointment remains unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) Business Days (whether or not consecutive); or | |
| (e) | the Issuer ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business. |
8.2 If any Event of Default occurs, subject to any cure period, the full Principal Amount, together with interest thereon accrued to the date of the Event of Default, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Upon payment of the full Principal Amount, together with accrued interest and any other amounts owing under this Note, this Note shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Issuer. The Holder need not provide and the Issuer hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately, subject to any cure period, enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment of amounts owing under this Note shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

12. Waivers
Any waiver by either the Issuer or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of either the Issuer or the Holder, as applicable, to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note.

The Holder shall not by any act of omission or commission be deemed to waive any of its rights, powers or remedies under this Note or the Security Agreement unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Holder and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. Failure to exercise any option, right, or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Holder to exercise such option, right or remedy in the event of or with respect to any prior, subsequent or concurrent transaction or occurrence of the same or a different kind or character. The Holder’s acceptance of any partial payment after the time when such payment becomes due and payable hereunder shall not be held to establish a custom, or to waive any of the Holder’s rights to enforce prompt payment of this Note or any of the Holder’s other rights hereunder.
