At any time on or after the Maturity Date, the Company may repay the then outstanding principal plus accrued interest and Default Interest (defined below), if any, to the Holder. 

 

b.Demand of Repayment. The principal and interest balance of this Note shall be paid to the Holder hereof on demand by the Holder at any time on or after the Maturity Date. The Default Amount (defined herein), if applicable, shall be paid to Holder hereof on demand by the Holder at any time such Default Amount becomes due and payable to Holder.  

 

c.Interest. This Note shall bear interest (“Interest”) at the rate of Ten Percent (10%) per annum from the Issuance Date until the same is paid, or otherwise converted in accordance with Section 2 below, in full and the Holder, at the Holder’s sole discretion, may include any accrued but unpaid Interest in the Conversion Amount. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall accrue daily and, after the Maturity Date, compound quarterly. Upon an Event of Default, as defined in Section 10 below, the Interest Rate shall increase to Eighteen Percent (18%) per annum for so long as the Event of Default is continuing (“Default Interest”). 

 

d.General Payment Provisions. This Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America by check or wire transfer to such account as the Holder may from time to time designate by written notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

2.Conversion of Note. At any time after the Pre-payment Date, the Conversion Amount (see Paragraph 2(a)(i)) of this Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 2. 

 

a.Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

 

i.“Conversion Amount” means the sum of (a) the principal amount of this Note to be converted with respect to which this determination is being made, (b) Interest; and (c) Default Interest, if any, if so included at the Holder’s sole discretion. 

 

ii.“Conversion Price” means the a 40% discount to the lowest trading price during the fifteen (15) trading days preceding the date of a Conversion Notice (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company relating to the Company’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). 

 

iii.“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof. 

 

iv.“Shares” means the Shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which any balance on this Note may be converted upon submission of a “Conversion Notice” to the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 

 

b.Holder’s Conversion Rights. At any time after the Pre-payment Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert all of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the stated Conversion Price. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of 4.99% (“Conversion Limitation 1”). The Holder shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2(b) will limit any conversion hereunder, and accordingly, the Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 2(b), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company to increase or decrease such percentage to any other amount as determined by Holder in its sole discretion (“Conversion Limitation 2”). If in the case that the Company’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, then an additional 15% discount to the Conversion Price shall apply for all future conversions under the Note while the “chill” is in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, with reference to section 2(a)ii of this note, when the “chill” is in effect the conversion price will increase from a 35% discount to a 50% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous (20) days to the date of a Conversion Notice. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment unless the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion elects instead to set the Conversion Price to par value for such conversion(s) and the conversion amount for such conversion(s) shall be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the conversion amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion(s) to equal the same number of Common Stock as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been set to par value in the Holder’s sole and absolute discretion. 

 

c.Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion; if such issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share except in the event that rounding up would violate the conversion limitation set forth in section 2(b) above. 

 

d.Conversion Amount. The Conversion Amount shall be converted pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(ii) and Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, into unrestricted shares at the Conversion Price.

ii.Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via email, facsimile or overnight courier, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder indicating that the Company will process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. Within two (2) Business Days after the date the Conversion Notice is delivered, the Company shall have issued and electronically transferred the shares to the Broker indicated in the Conversion Notice; should the Company be unable to transfer the shares electronically, it shall, within two (2) Business Days after the date the Conversion Notice was delivered, have surrendered to an overnight courier for delivery the next day to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. 

 

iii.Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. 

 

iv.Timely Response by Company. Upon receipt by Company of a Conversion Notice, Company shall respond within one business day to Holder confirming the details of the Conversion, and provide within two business days the Shares requested in the Conversion Notice. 

 

v.Liquidated Damages for Delinquent Response. If the Company fails to deliver for whatever reason (including any neglect or failure by, e.g., the Company, its counsel or the transfer agent) to Holder the Shares as requested in a Conversion Notice within three (3) business days of the Conversion Date, the Company shall be deemed in “Default of Conversion.” Beginning on the fourth (4th) business day after the date of the Conversion Notice, after the Company is deemed in Default of Conversion, there shall accrue liquidated damages (the “Conversion Damages”) of $500 per day for each day after the third business day until delivery of the Shares is made, and such penalty will be added to the Note being converted (under the Company’s and Holder’s expectation and understanding that any penalty amounts will tack back to the Issuance Date of the Note). The Parties agree that, at the time of drafting of this Note, the Holder’s damages as to the delinquent response are incapable or difficult to estimate and that the liquidated damages called for is a reasonable forecast of just compensation. 

 

vi.Liquidated Damages for Inability to Issue Shares. If the Company fails to deliver Shares requested by a Conversion Notice due to an exhaustion of authorized and issuable common stock such that the Company must increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock before the Shares requested may be issued to the Holder, the discount set forth in the Conversion Price will be increased by 5 percentage points (i.e. from 40% to 45%) for the Conversion Notice in question and all future Conversion Notices until the outstanding principal and interest of the Note is converted or paid in full. These liquidated damages shall not render the penalties prescribed by Paragraph 2(e)(v) void, and shall be applied in conjunction with Paragraph 2(e)(v) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Holder. The Parties agree that, at the time of drafting of this Note, the Holder’s damages as to the inability to issue shares are incapable or difficult to estimate and that the liquidated damages called for is a reasonable forecast of just compensation.

viii.Transfer Agent Fees and Legal Fees. The issuance of the certificates shall be without charge or expense to the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all Transfer Agent fees, legal fees, and advisory fees required for execution of this Note and processing of any Notice of Conversion, including but not limited to the cost of obtaining a legal opinion with regard to the Conversion.
