b) Adjustments to Conversion Price. 
 
i. In the event the Company (i) subdivides outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of Common Stock, (ii) combines (including by way of a reverse split) outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of Common Stock or (iii) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Common Stock, any Common Stock of the Company, then the Optional Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Optional Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock 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 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of members entitled to receive such distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
ii. If at any time or from time to time after the issuance date of this Note there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions, or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of the Company’s 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 Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Optional Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the conversion price or otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of Conversion Shares, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from the Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of Section 4(a) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of Section 4(a) (including any adjustment in the Optional 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.
 
d) Mechanics of Conversion.
 
i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest by (y) the Optional Conversion Price. 
 
ii. Mechanics of Optional Conversion. In connection with an Optional Conversion by the Holder, the Holder shall provide the Company the Notice of Conversion. Upon receipt from the Holder, this Note shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the Holder and whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Company, be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Optional Conversion Price. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless this Note is either delivered to the Company or the Holder notifies the Company that this Note been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss, theft or destruction. Upon receipt by the Company of this Note or an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss, theft or destruction, the Company at its expense shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such Optional Conversion shall be deemed to have been upon the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company may credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at custodian system.

iv. Failure to Deliver Certificates. In the case a Notice of Conversion is issued by the Holder to the Company, and such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.
 
v. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
vii. Fractional Common Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.
 
Section 5. Covenants. Until the latest of the time that (i) the Note has been converted, the Company shall maintain the following covenants: 
 
(a) The Company shall not:
 
(i) amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holder; 
 
(ii) pay cash dividends or any distributions on any equity securities of the Company; 
 
(iii) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Company which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the SEC, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval).
 
Section 6. Events of Default.
 
a) “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
 
i. any default in the payment of the principal amount of any Indebtedness when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise) which default is not cured within fifteen (15) Trading Days;
 
ii. the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other material covenant or agreement contained in the Note which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within the earlier to occur of (A) fifteen (15) Trading Days after notice of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder to the Company and thirty (30) Trading Days after receipt of written notice thereof;
 
	 
	4
	
 
	 


 
iii. any representation or warranty made in this Note shall be untrue or incorrect in any respect as of the date when made that would cause a Material Adverse Effect;
 
iv. any breach of the provisions of this Note by the Company that would cause a Material Adverse Effect;
 
v. the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X) shall be subject to a bankruptcy event; or
 
vi. following the date the Company initially becomes a reporting company pursuant to the Exchange Act and its shares of Common Stock are listed on a Trading Market, the Common Stock shall subsequently not be eligible for listing or quotation for trading on a Trading Market and shall not be eligible to resume listing or quotation for trading thereon within ten (10) Trading Days.
 
b) Remedies Upon Event of Default. At any time and from time to time after Holder becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Holder may accelerate this Note by written notice to the Company, with the principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest (“Outstanding Balance”) becoming immediately due and payable in cash. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 6 a), the Outstanding Balance as of the date of acceleration shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash, without any written notice required by the Holder. The Company acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim. The Company hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against the Holder, its successors and assigns.
 
Section 7. Miscellaneous.
 
a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth above, or such other e-mail address, or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holder delivered in accordance with this Section 7(a).
