shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as shall be
legal tender for the payment of public and private debts at the time of payment.

 

The Company authorizes the Holder to endorse the date and amount of each loan
advance and each payment on account of principal thereof on Appendix A, and when
so endorsed, said Appendix A shall represent evidence of such loans and payments
on account of principal thereof binding upon the Company in the absence of
error. Any failure by the Holder to so endorse Appendix A shall in no way
mitigate or discharge the obligation of the Company to repay any loans actually
made by the Company to the Holder, or the obligation of the Holder to make the
advances on the applicable advance date.

8.1 Conversion.

 

(a) Conversion.

its option elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued
and unpaid interest under this Note (the “Outstanding Balance”) into such number
of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing such amount of the Outstanding
Balance by $1.00. Any such conversion shall first be applied to accrued and
unpaid interest and then to outstanding principal.

 

(ii) At the Maturity Date, all of the remaining Outstanding Balance, if any,
shall convert, without any further action of the Holder or the Company, into
such number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the Outstanding
Balance by $1.00

 

(b) Cancellation. Upon and as of a Conversion Date, this Note (to the extent of
such conversion) will be cancelled on the books and records of the Company and
shall represent the right to receive the Conversion Shares.

Conversion Shares so issued upon such conversion shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

 

8.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. If any conversion of this
Note would create a fractional share or a right to acquire a fractional share,

Corporation affecting the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock

price therefore shall be likewise adjusted in order to reflect the change (for
the purpose of preserving the value of the conversion).

10. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

10.1 Commencing on the date hereof, the Holder shall have “piggy back”
registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares and any and all other
shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder as of the date hereof (as such, the
“Registrable Securities”). The Company shall advise the Holder or its permitted
transferees, by written notice at least 30 days prior to the filing of any
registration statement or post-effective amendment thereto under the Securities
Act covering any securities of the Company, for its own account or for the
account of others (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any
successor forms thereto), and will, upon the request of the Holder, include in
any such post-effective amendment or registration statement, such information as
may be required to permit a public offering of, all or any of the Registrable
Securities. The Company shall supply prospectuses and such other documents as
the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of the Registrable Securities, use its reasonable efforts to
register and qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states
as such Holder designates, provided that the Company shall not be required to
qualify as a foreign corporation or a dealer in securities or execute a general
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in any action, and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to
enable such Holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the
Registrable Securities (it being understood that the Company, in its sole
discretion, has the right not to request acceleration of effectiveness of any
such registration statement). The Holder shall promptly furnish all necessary
information requested by the Company in connection with said registration
statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to
permit the Holder of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing
underwriter or underwriters of such offering advises the Company or the Holder
of Registrable Securities that the total amount of securities which they intend
to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such
offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of Holder
of Registrable Securities shall be eliminated, reduced, or limited to the extent
necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such
offering to the amount, if any, recommended by such managing underwriter or
underwriters (which reduction or elimination shall be pro rata with the
reduction of, or consistent with the elimination of, all securities of other
selling securityholders in the registration statement) and shall be subject to
(i) the number of securities which the Company proposes to offer and sell for
its own account in such offering and (ii) any other registration rights granted
to other shareholders or securityholders of the Company that are in effect on
the date thereof (any such reduction or limitation in the total amount of
Registrable Securities to be included in such offering to be borne by the Holder
of Registrable Securities proposed to be included therein pro rata). The Holder
will be responsible for and shall pay its own legal fees and expenses and any
underwriting discounts and commissions and non-accountable expense allowances on
the securities sold by such Holder and shall not be responsible for any other
expenses of such registration.

 

10.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Registrable
Security shall cease to be Registrable Security (and the piggy-back registration
rights set forth in this Section 10 shall not apply) for so long as (a) a
registration statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities
is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the
Holder in accordance with such effective registration statement, (b) such
Registrable Securities have been previously sold by the Holder in accordance
with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (c) such securities
become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and
without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 or other exemption from
registration as set forth in a written opinion letter of counsel to the Company
to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to the transfer agent of the
Company and the Holder.
