2.4         Remedies on Conversion Failure/ Late Payments.


 


(a) Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, Borrower agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of the Note, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. Borrower shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.


 


(b) If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such conversion at any time before such shares are transmitted.


 


(c)  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Conversion then the Company
shall  pay  Holder an amount equal to $1,000.


 


2.5         Conversion Calculation The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.


 


2.6         Adjustment to Conversion Price. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:


 


(a)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make 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.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.6 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.






  





3











  








 


(b)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Notes) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to this Section 2.6), 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 so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the 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.


 


(c)   If at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent Conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Note Share that would have been issuable upon such Conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such transaction by a holder. For purposes of any such Conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount
of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any Conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to
Conversion such Note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(c) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

      (d)   All calculations under this Section 2.6  shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2.6, 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.


 


2.7         Reservation of Shares. At all times throughout the life of the Note, the Company shall have sufficient amount of authorized and unissued common stock available in order to satisfy full conversion of the Note.  In case such amount of Common Stock is reasonably considered potentially insufficient, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting to increase the number of authorized common stock.  Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized
common stock and shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of common shares authorized. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.


 


2.8         Issuance of New Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.  Subject to the provisions of Article III, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of
the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption on the Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, the Company’s determination to redeem in cash or its elections under Section 5.1 shall be applied ratably among the Holders of Notes.
