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 __________ __, 201__ (the “Maturity Date”)


 


(b)           The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%), 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.


 


(c)           Except as otherwise set forth in this Note, the Company may prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Note at any time, and from time to time, without the prior written consent of the Holder.


 


Section 1.02          Conversion.  (a) At the sole discretion of the Holder, the Holder may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price equal to the Conversion Price (as defined below).  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.


 


(b)           “Conversion Price” means a price to be agreed to by the Company and the Holder.







(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that such conversion would cause the Holder and its affiliates (if they are not, prior to such conversion, already beneficial owners of greater than 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock) to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that the Holder may waive the limitation imposed by this subsection, and/or increase the Maximum Percentage to some other amount, upon at least sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company.  For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note.


 


Section 1.03          Reservation of Common Stock.  As set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of conversion of this Note, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note is convertible based upon the then applicable Conversion Price.


 


Section 1.04          Absolute Obligation/Ranking.  Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.  This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company.  This Note ranks pari passu with all other Notes now or hereinafter issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.


 


Section 1.05          Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar.  The Company may change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) 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.  The Company may act in any such capacity.

Section 1.06          Different Denominations.  This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


Section 1.07          Investment Representations.  This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.


 


Section 1.08          Reliance on Note Register.  Prior to due presentment to the Company for transfer or conversion of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Article II.


 


Section 2.01          Amendments and Waiver of Default.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Note may not be amended without the consent of the Holder.

(e)           default shall occur with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or under any agreement under which such indebtedness may be issued by the Company and such default shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, therein specified, if the aggregate amount of such indebtedness for which such default shall have occurred exceeds $25,000;


 



(f)           default shall occur with respect to any contractual obligation of the Company under or pursuant to any contract, lease, or other agreement to which the Company is a party and such default shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, therein specified, if the aggregate amount of the Company’s contractual liability arising out of such default exceeds or is reasonably estimated to exceed $25,000;




          


(g)           final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $25,000 shall be rendered against the Company and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of twenty (20) days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed;

(i)            any material breach by the Company of any of its representations or warranties under the Purchase Agreement; or

Section 3.02          If any Event of Default specified in clauses 3.01(c) or (d) occurs, then the full principal amount of this Note, together with any other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of the Event of Default, shall become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and if any other Event of Default occurs, the full principal amount of this Note, together with any other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, interest on this Note shall begin to accrue at the rate of interest specified in Section 1.01(b) PLUS five percent (5%) per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Notes for which the full amount hereunder shall have been paid in accordance herewith shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace 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 under this Section shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
