5.           Conversion.


 


(i)           At the Option of the Investor.  All or any portion of the principal amount of this Note then outstanding shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (subject to limitations set forth in Section 5(b)), at the option of the Investor, if the Company does not complete a capital raise by the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date and Investor elects, pursuant to Section 2, to convert the unpaid principal amount of the Note into Common Stock in accordance with this Section.  The Investor may effect conversions under this Section 5(a) by delivering to the Company a Conversion Notice together with a schedule in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "Conversion Schedule"). If the Investor is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by this Note, or if a conversion hereunder may not be effected in full due to the application of Section 5(b), the Company shall honor such conversion to the extent permissible hereunder and shall promptly deliver to the Investor a Conversion Schedule indicating the principal amount which has not been converted.  If Investor submits a valid Conversion Notice, and the applicable Conversion Price, in the absence of the Conversion Price Floor, would be lower than the Conversion Price Floor, then the Company shall pay Investor an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between the Conversion Price Floor and what the Conversion Price would be in the absence of such Conversion Price Floor and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note is being converted, as indicated in the applicable Conversion Notice.  In the event the Company does not, within five (5) Trading Days of receipt of an applicable Conversion Notice, pay an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between the Conversion Price Floor and what the Conversion Price would be in the absence of such Conversion Price Floor and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note is being converted, as indicated in the applicable Conversion Notice, then the Conversion Price Floor shall be adjusted downward to equal the lower of (i) what the Conversion Price would be in the absence of such Conversion Price Floor or (ii) 80% of the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Day period beginning on the fifth (5) Trading Day immediately preceding the date of receipt of the applicable Conversion Notice or (iii) the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day that is the tenth (10) Trading Day of the ten (10) Trading Day period referenced in subsection (ii) above.


 


(b)           Certain Conversion Restrictions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by an Investor upon a conversion of this Note (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Investor and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Investor's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which an Investor may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Investor may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (defined below) involving the Company as contemplated herein.  This restriction may not be waived.

6.           Mechanics of Conversion.


 


(a)           The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion hereunder shall equal the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.


 


(b)           The Company shall, by the fifth Trading Day following each Conversion Date, issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Investor and in such name or names as the Investor may designate a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion. The Investor, or any Person so designated by the Investor to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of such Conversion Date.


 


(c)           The Investor shall not be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect a conversion hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the Note and issuance of a New Note representing the remaining outstanding principal amount.


 


(d)           The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Investor 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 Investor or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Investor or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Investor in connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares.


 


(e)           If by the fifth Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the Investor such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 5, then the Investor will have the right to rescind the Conversion Notice pertaining thereto by giving written notice to the Company prior to such Investor’s receipt of such Underlying Shares.  Without in any way limiting the Investor's right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the fifth Trading Day after a Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor $500 per day in cash, for each day beyond the fifth Trading Day after a Conversion Date that the Company fails to deliver such Underlying Shares.  Such cash amount shall be paid to the Investor by the fifth (5) day of the month following the month in which such amount accrued or, at the option of the Investor (by written notice to the Company by the first day of the month following the month in which such amount accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note.

(f)           If by the fifth Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the Investor the required number of Underlying Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5, and if after such fifth Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Underlying Shares, the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of the Underlying Shares which the Investor anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall: (1) pay in cash to the Investor (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Investor) the amount by which (x) the Investor'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 Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Investor in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the Closing Price on the Conversion Date and (2) at the option of the Investor, either void the conversion at issue and reinstate the principal amount of this Note for which such conversion was not timely honored or deliver to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  The Investor shall provide the Company reasonably detailed evidence or written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.


 


7.           Events of Default.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all outstanding principal then owing shall begin to accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum beginning on the Maturity Date until all such principal is paid.


 


8.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Underlying Shares upon conversion of (or otherwise in respect of) this Note shall be made without charge to the Investor for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee, legal opinion and attorney fees, or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Underlying Shares or Notes in a name other than that of the Investor. The Investor shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Note or receiving Underlying Shares in respect hereof.


 


9.           Reservation of Underlying Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) this entire Note (taking into account the adjustments of Section 10), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Investor. The Company covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

10.         Certain Adjustments.  The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 10.


 


(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied 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 clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.


 


(b)           Pro Rata Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, "Distributed Property"), then, at the request of the Investor delivered before the 90th day after the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to the Investor, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Underlying Shares for which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such record date.  If such Distributed Property is not delivered to the Investor pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of this Note that occurs after such record date, the Investor shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Underlying Shares had the Investor been the record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10(b) shall not apply to any distribution of rights or securities in respect of adoption by the Company of a shareholder rights plan, which events shall be covered by Section 10(a).


 


(c)           Fundamental Transactions.  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 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 (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 10(a) above) (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Investor shall have the right to: (x) receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration") or (y) require the surviving entity to issue to the Investor and instrument identical to this Note (with an appropriate adjustments to the conversion price). For purposes of any such conversion, 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 Investor 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 (or, if different, the ultimate parent of such successor or entity or the entity issuing the Alternate Consideration) shall issue to the Investor a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Investor's right to convert such debenture 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 paragraph (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)           Reclassifications; Share Exchanges.  In the case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property (other than compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change of Control transactions), the Investor shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Investors shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.


 


(e)           Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.


 


(f)           Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Investor.

(e)           In case any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Note.

(g)           It is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Note for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Note exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate of interest applicable to the Note from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Investor with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Note, such excess shall be applied by Investor to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at Investor’s election.


 


      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed by a duly authorized officer as of the date first above indicated.
