Section 1.01    Principal.  For value received, the Company hereby promises to pay on or before the Maturity Date (as defined below) to the order of the Holder or its designees, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding (the “Principal Amount”) and all accrued interest thereon and the fees set forth herein.

 

 Section 1.02   Interest. Interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, compounded daily (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual days elapsed) from the date hereof until the Principal Amount is repaid in full.  Accrued interest on the Principal Amount shall be due and payable on the 21st day of each month commencing October 21, 2011. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by the Company or inadvertently received by the Holder, then such excess sum shall be credited as payment of the Principal Amount.

 

Section 1.03    Maturity Date.  The Principal Amount and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable in full upon the earlier of (the “Maturity Date”) (i) the Company's receipt, in one or more transactions, of gross proceeds in excess of $500,000 in debt or equity, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for debt or equity or (ii) February 22, 2012.

 

  

  

  

 

Section 1.04    Right to Prepay.  Provided that there is no Event of Default (as defined below), the Company shall have the right, upon no less than five (5) business days' prior notice to the Holder, to prepay all or any portion of the Principal Amount and all accrued interest thereon at any time, on or before the Maturity Date, without penalty or premium.

Section 1.05    Payments to the Holder.  The Company agrees that the Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon and any other amounts paid by the Company to the Holder shall be paid by wire transfer to the Lender unless instructed by the Lender otherwise, or upon written request by the Lender, by wire transfer to any or all of its assigns or participants, if any. The Company acknowledges that the Holder intends to include other participants in this Note.

Section 1.06     Security Interest. As security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all the obligations set forth in this Note, the Company hereby grants to the Holder a first priority lien on and continuing security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, all its assets now or hereafter acquired, together with the proceeds thereof. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of this Note, the Company is executing and delivering to the Holder a Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Security Agreement").

The Company acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Company, or if any of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under this Note and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Note and/or applicable law.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS NOTE AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW.  The Company hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Company and, further, agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder.  The Company represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of this Note, and that the Holder would not agree to the terms of this Note if this waiver were not a part of this Note. The Company further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the Company has been represented in the signing of this Note and the Security Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and that the Company has discussed this waiver with counsel.

Section 1.08    Conversion Right.   The Holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time to convert all or any part of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owed to Lender, into duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalization of the Company. The Company agrees that it has no right to prevent the Holder from effecting such conversion, even after it sends notice of its intention to prepay this Note or otherwise. If the Holder opts to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest hereunder and the Facility Fee(as defined below) and any amounts owed by the Company to the Holder, the Company shall issue and deliver to such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the common stock to which the Holder shall be entitled within five days of the Holder exercising its right hereunder.

 

If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company issues securities, the terms of which could reasonably be deemed to have terms and conditions more favorable than the terms and conditions of this Note (each such transaction, a “New Issuance”), including without limitation the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.25 or less (the "Issuance Price"), then the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to either (i) exchange (any such exchange being an “MFN Exchange”) all or any part of the Note owned by the Holder for the securities offered in the New Issuance on the same terms and conditions offered in the New Issuance or (ii) receive, upon conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms contained herein, shares of common stock of the Company based on the Issuance Price.  

 

The Company covenants and agrees to promptly give written notice (an “MFN Notice”) to the Holder of the terms and conditions of any such New Issuance. On or prior to the expiration of the twenty (20) business day period (the “MFN Review Period”) after the Holder has received the MFN Notice, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing (the “MFN Response”) specifying whether it elects to conduct an MFN Exchange or to reduce the conversion price of this Note to the per share purchase price in the New Issuance. The MFN right granted to the Holder herein shall be applicable to all the Shares, irrespective of the Holder's subsequent transfer or other dispostion of all or any portion of the Shares.

Section 1.09    Conversion Upon a Default.  Upon an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4.01), the Holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time to convert the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued interest thereon, or any portion thereof, into duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company ("Conversion Shares") at the conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.25 per share or a twenty five percent (25%) discount of the closing price on the date of the notice of the Event of Default. The Company agrees that it has no right to prevent the Holder from effecting such conversion or otherwise. If the Holder opts to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest hereunder and the Facility Fee and any other amounts due to Lender aforesaid, the Company shall issue and deliver to such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the common stock to which the Holder shall be entitled within five days of the Holder exercising its right hereunder.

 

If the sales by the Holder of the Conversion Shares result in gross proceeds after all expenses relating to receipt and sales of the Conversion Shares of less than a 25% discount of the per share conversion price of $0.25, the Company shall issue to the Holder additional shares of common stock equal to such difference.

 

Section 1.10    Delivery of Conversion Shares.  The common stock issued on conversion of this Note shall be delivered as follows:

 

	
  

	
(i)

	
As promptly as practicable after conversion, Holder shall deliver to the Company, or to such person or persons as are designated by Holder in the notice to convert, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of common stock into which this Note or portion thereof is to be converted in such name or names as are specified in the conversion notice, rounded to the nearest whole share. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date when this Note shall have been surrendered to the Company for conversion, so that the person entitled to receive such conversion shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such shares at such time.

 

	
  

	
(ii)

	
In the event that less than the entire outstanding principal of this Note is converted hereunder pursuant to subsection (a) above, this Note shall not be surrendered for cancellation but shall have an addendum attached hereto indicating the amount of conversion acknowledged by Holder and Company. If less than the entire principal balance of this Note is converted, the amount of principal converted shall be reduced to the nearest amount that results in no fractional shares.

In the event that any of the Conversion Shares can be issued by the Company without a restrictive 1933 Act legend, or are subsequently sold or proposed to be sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend or instructions to issue the Conversion Shares without the 1933 Act legend. The Company further agrees to accept the opinion of David Lubin & Associates, PLLC in this regard if counsel to the Company fails to issue such opinion. If the Company fails to do so, or if its counsel fails to issue an opinion within 72 hours of the request thereof (assuming counsel has received a seller's representation letter as attached hereto), then the Company will pay to the Holder as liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages”), and not as a penalty, at the Holder’s option, either a cash amount or shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of such shares for each day after such 72-hour period that the opinion is not delivered to the transfer agent.  Any Liquidated Damages payable hereunder shall not limit, prohibit or preclude the Holder from seeking any other remedy available to it under contract, at law or in equity.  The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under this Section shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights of the Holder.  The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain the requested legal opinion, and (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Holder reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages.

 

Section 1.11    Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees that, during the period until this Note and all obligations owed to Holder are paid in full, the Company will at all times have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available solely for delivery upon the conversion of this Note, common stock and other securities, and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the conversion of this Note, free and clear of all restrictions on issuance, sale or transfer other than those imposed by securities law and free and clear of all pre-emptive rights. The Company agrees that the shares of common stock shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the stated value or par value per share of the conversion Shares is at all times equal to or less than the conversion price of this Note.
