The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which isOne Hundred Eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the dateof payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of theremaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount ofthis Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any sharesof capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified atthe conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided,however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion ofthis Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and itsaffiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portionof the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversionor exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversionof the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownershipby the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to theimmediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities ExchangeAct of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause(1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holderupon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversionlimitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified insuch notice of waiver).. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determinedby dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified inthe notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrowerby the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or by othermeans resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on suchconversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversionof this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’soption, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the ConversionDate, provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash plus (3) at the Borrower’soption, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4)at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

1.2           ConversionPrice.

 

(a)          Calculationof Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (asdefined herein)(subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relatingto the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications,extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 55% multiplied bythe Market Price (as defined herein)(representing a discount rate of 45%).  “Market Price”means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Dayperiod ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to the Borrower via facsimile (the“Conversion Date”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on theOver-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service(“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Holder and hereafter designated by Holders of a majorityin interest of the Notes and the Borrower or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bidprice of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if noclosing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any marketmakers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the TradingPrice cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair marketvalue as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which thecalculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day”shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange orother securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. 

 

 

(b)          ConversionPrice During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower(i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in whichthe Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantiallyall of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offerto purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referredto in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effectiveupon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal tothe lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and(y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, theConversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a). For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion PriceTermination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a publicannouncement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i)above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonmentof the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

 

1.3           AuthorizedShares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorizedand unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stockupon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to haveauthorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on theConversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increasedfrom time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Purchase Agreement. The Borrowerrepresents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if theBorrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of CommonStock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time makeproper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, freefrom preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructedits transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees thatits issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executingstock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms andconditions of this Note.

 

 

If, at any time a Holderof this Note submits a Notice of Conversion, and the Borrower does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of CommonStock available to effect such conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article I (a “Conversion Default”),the Borrower shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are then available to effect such conversion. Theportion of this Note which the Holder included in its Conversion Notice and which exceeds the amount which is then convertibleinto available shares of Common Stock (the “Excess Amount”) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary containedherein, not be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof until (and at the Holder’s option at anytime after) the date additional shares of Common Stock are authorized by the Borrower to permit such conversion, at which timethe Conversion Price in respect thereof shall be the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price on the Conversion Default Date (as definedbelow) and (ii) the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date thereafter elected by the Holder in respect thereof. In addition, theBorrower shall pay to the Holder payments (“Conversion Default Payments”) for a Conversion Default in the amount of(x) the sum of (1) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest on theunpaid principal amount of this Note through the Authorization Date (as defined below) plus (3) Default Interest, if any,on the amounts referred to in clauses (1) and/or (2), multiplied by (y) .24, multiplied by (z) (N/365), where N =the number of days from the day the holder submits a Notice of Conversion giving rise to a Conversion Default (the “ConversionDefault Date”) to the date (the “Authorization Date”) that the Borrower authorizes a sufficient number of sharesof Common Stock to effect conversion of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note. The Borrower shall use its best effortsto authorize a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) such time that theHolder notifies the Borrower or that the Borrower otherwise becomes aware that there are or likely will be insufficient authorizedand unissued shares to allow full conversion thereof and (ii) a Conversion Default. The Borrower shall send notice to the Holderof the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock, the Authorization Date and the amount of Holder’s accrued ConversionDefault Payments. The accrued Conversion Default Payments for each calendar month shall be paid in cash or shall be convertibleinto Common Stock (at such time as there are sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock) at the applicable Conversion Price,at the Borrower’s option, as follows:

 

(a)          Inthe event Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payment shall be made to Holder by the fifth (5th) day ofthe month following the month in which it has accrued; and

 

(b)          Inthe event Holder elects to take such payment in Common Stock, the Holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock at theConversion Price (as in effect at the time of conversion) at any time after the fifth day of the month following the month in whichit has accrued in accordance with the terms of this Article I (so long as there is then a sufficient number of authorized sharesof Common Stock).

 

The Holder’s electionshall be made in writing to the Borrower at any time prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the third day of the monthfollowing the month in which Conversion Default payments have accrued. If no election is made, the Holder shall be deemed to haveelected to receive cash. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excessof the Conversion Default Payments) for the Borrower’s failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of CommonStock, and each holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including degree of specificperformance and/or injunctive relief).

If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of allof the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similarevent, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of sharesof another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of allor substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower,then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon theterms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion,such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been convertedin full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any suchcase appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that theprovisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of sharesissuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securitiesor assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen(15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such recorddate, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar eventor sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiringentity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b).

(d)          AdjustmentDue to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordancewith this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a considerationper share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith)less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “DilutiveIssuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the considerationper share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance. Excluded from this subdivision are shares of stock issues by theCompany for current consideration to various individuals or entities, who perform valuable, necessary and vital services to theCompany.

 

The Borrower shallbe deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights oroptions (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase CommonStock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants,rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) andthe price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price thenin effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “priceper share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount,if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimumaggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in thecase of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional considerationpayable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable,by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversionof Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuanceof such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable uponexercise of such Options.

 

Additionally, the Borrowershall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities,whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price pershare for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, thenthe Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per sharefor which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any,received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimumaggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the timesuch Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stockissuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price willbe made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

As used herein, “Shareholder Approval”means approval by the shareholders of the Borrower to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock whichwould be issuable upon full conversion of the then outstanding Notes but for the Maximum Share Amount.

 

 

1.8           Statusas Shareholder.
