ARTICLE III


 


­CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT


 


Section 3.1 ­Conversion Option.  At any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder (the “Conversion Option”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”) as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number: 866-816-1107, Attn.: Martin E. Shmagin) (the “Voluntary Conversion Date” or “Conversion Date”), provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.5 below.  The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted.  With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.


 


Section 3.2 Conversion Price.  The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.10, subject to adjustment under Section 3.5 hereof.


 



	
Section 3.3  

	
Mechanics of Conversion.







 


(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.  In the alternative, not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Maker shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “Delivery Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Maker or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such conversion is in connection with a sale and the Holder has complied with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (as evidenced by documentation furnished to and reasonably satisfactory to the Maker) or such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (without restriction as to volume).  If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker.

(b) The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC (or, if applicable, certificates) by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered (if applicable), together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.


 


(c) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Maker fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit via DWAC or transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Maker shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that the Maker was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Maker timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Maker shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Maker written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Maker.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 



Section 3.4  Ownership Cap and Certain Conversion Restrictions.




 


(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, at no time may all or a portion of this Note be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.


 


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, at no time may all or a portion of this Note be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time.  The provisions of this Section 3.4(b) may not be amended or waived by the Holder or the Maker.


 


Section 3.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price.


 


(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) hereof):


 


(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustments under this Section 3.5(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

(ii)           Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:


 


(1)           the numerator 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; 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.


 


(iii)           Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions.  If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.5(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been 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 adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.


 


(iv)           Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.  If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.5(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.


 


(v)           Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets.  If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Maker (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 3.5(a)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another Person where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s properties or assets to any other Person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change, (A) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Maker or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change, and (B) if the surviving entity in any such Organic Change is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, the Holder shall have the right to demand prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(b) hereof.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.


 


(vi)           Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Maker, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any additional shares of common stock (otherwise than as provided  in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 3.5(a) or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the Issuance Date) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.


 


(vii)           Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents.  The provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(vii) shall apply if (a) the Maker, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Notes, or (b) any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) shall be issued or sold.  If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (vi) of this Section 3.5(a).

(viii)           Consideration for Stock.  In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:


 


(1)           in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or


 


(2)           in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation.  If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.  In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.5(a)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker; or


 


(3)           for services, other than as permitted pursuant to Section 3.5(c) hereof, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the par value of the Common Stock.







(b) Record Date.  In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.


 


(c) Certain Issues Excepted.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Maker shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with the following: (a) issuances of shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers or directors of the Maker pursuant to any stock or option plan existing on the date hereof (and not amended to increase the shares available for grant or issuance thereunder) if such grants were duly approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Maker or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose and, in the case of any options, the exercise price of such options are in excess of the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant; (b) issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Issuance Date, provided that such securities have not been amended since the Issuance Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of any such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, provided any such issuance shall only be to a person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Maker and in which the Maker receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Maker is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.







(d)           No Impairment.  The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder against impairment.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Notes as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of the Notes the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.







(e)           Certificates as to Adjustments.  Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.


 


(f)           Issue Taxes.  The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.


 


(g)           Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.


 


(h)           Reservation of Common Stock.  The Maker shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and all interest accrued thereon; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note and all interest accrued thereon are at any time convertible.  The Maker shall, from time to time in accordance with Delaware law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section 3.5(h).


 


(i)           ­Regulatory Compliance.  If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

(ii)           the sale or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Maker’s assets (based on the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Maker’s Board of Directors) other than inventory in the ordinary course of business in one or a related series of transactions; or

(g)           [Reserved]







(h)           Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction.  No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Maker shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Major Transaction”) to the Holder of this Note.  At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction), any holder of the Notes then outstanding may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, all of the holder’s Notes then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction”) to the Maker, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the principal amount of the Notes that such holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.6(b) above.


 


(i)           Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event.  Within one (1) business day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Maker shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to each holder of the Notes.  At any time after the earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any holder of this Note may require the Maker to prepay all of the Notes on a pro rata basis by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event”) to the Maker, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the amount of the Note that such holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.6(c) above.  A holder shall only be permitted to require the Maker to prepay the Note pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof for the greater of a period of ten (10) days after receipt by such holder of a Notice of Triggering Event or for so long as such Triggering Event is continuing.


 


(j)           Payment of Prepayment Price.  Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction from any holder of the Notes, the Maker shall immediately notify each holder of the Notes by facsimile of the Maker’s receipt of such Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction and each holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Maker such holder’s certificates representing the Notes which such holder has elected to have prepaid.  The Maker shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(i), to such holder within five (5) business days after the Maker’s receipt of a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event and, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(h), the Maker shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that a holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker; provided further that if the Maker is unable to prepay all of the Notes to be prepaid, the Maker shall prepay an amount from each holder of the Notes being prepaid equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the amount of Notes held by such holder relative to the amount of Notes outstanding) of all Notes being prepaid.  If the Maker shall fail to prepay all of the Notes submitted for prepayment (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Until the Maker pays such unpaid applicable Prepayment Price in full to a holder of the Notes submitted for prepayment, such holder shall have the option (the “Void Optional Prepayment Option”) to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Maker to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such holder(s) under this Section 3.6 and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Maker via facsimile (the “Void Optional Prepayment Notice”).  Upon the Maker’s receipt of such Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Prepayment Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to those Notes submitted for prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) the Maker shall immediately return any Notes submitted to the Maker by each holder for prepayment under this Section 3.6(j) and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Maker and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice(s) of Prepayment of Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event, as the case may be, is delivered to the Maker and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Maker; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.  A holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice.  Payments provided for in this Section 3.6 shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.


 


Section 3.7 Inability to Fully Convert.


 


(a)           Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert.  If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Maker cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:


 


(i) If the Maker’s inability to honor any conversion fully is pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(x) above, require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price per share equal to the Triggering Event Prepayment Price as of such Conversion Date (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”);


 


(ii) if the Maker’s inability to fully convert is pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(y) above, require the Maker to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with such holder’s Conversion Notice;


 


 


 




  





8











  






 


(iii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not effect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice);


 


(iv) exercise its Buy-In rights pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.3(c) of this Note.


 


In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any portion of its Notes as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have been issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to 130% of the principal amount of the Notes the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.







(b)           Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election.  The Maker shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.7(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”).  Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy such holder’s Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price.  The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.7(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Maker (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).


 


(c)           Payment of Prepayment Price.  If the Holder shall elect to have its Notes prepaid pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note.  If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is one (1) business day following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Note, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Note be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment.


 


(d)           Pro-rata Conversion and Prepayment.  In the event the Maker receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of the Notes on the same day and the Maker can convert and prepay some, but not all, of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Maker shall convert and prepay from each holder of the Notes electing to have its Notes converted and prepaid at such time an amount equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the principal amount of the Notes held by such holder relative to the principal amount of the Notes outstanding) of all the Notes being converted and prepaid at such time.


 


Section 3.8 No Rights as Shareholder.  Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.

Section 5.2 Governing Law.

This Note shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Note to be drafted.  All payment obligations arising under this Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest at a rate which could subject the Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum rate which the Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, the Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the applicable rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate, and interest thus payable shall be computed at such maximum rate, and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal.
