3.3           Status on Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note, Payee shall be deemed to have become the stockholder of record of the shares of Common Stock into which this Note is converted on the Conversion Date (unless the transfer books of Red Mountain are closed on that date, in which event Payee shall be deemed to have become the stockholder of record on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books are open and the conversion shall be at the rate in effect on such date).

3.4           Elimination of Fractional Interests. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note, nor shall Red Mountain be required to pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated and that all issuances of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

  

  

  

 

3.5           Conversion Price.

(a)           The initial Conversion Price of this Note shall be $1 per share.

(b)            The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: if Red Mountain shall at any time after the date hereof (i) issue any shares of Common Stock by way of a dividend or other distribution on any stock of Red Mountain and without consideration, or (ii) subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest full cent) by multiplying (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the issuance of shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale.  For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this Section 3, shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of Red Mountain shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution.

3.6           Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case of the reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to par value or vice versa, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any consolidation or merger of Red Mountain with or into a corporation (other than a consolidation or merger into which Red Mountain is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as described above), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of Red Mountain, this Note shall be converted on the Conversion Date into the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note might have been converted immediately before the time of determination of the stockholders of Red Mountain entitled to receive such shares of stock and/or other securities or property. Red Mountain shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or otherwise make fair provision for exercise of the right of Payee to receive, the shares of stock and/or other securities or property provided for in this Section 3.6.

 

3.7           Certificate Concerning Adjusted Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, Red Mountain promptly shall: (i) place on file at its principal executive office an officer's certificate signed by the chief financial officer or controller of Red Mountain showing in appropriate detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the computation thereof, and the adjusted Conversion Price, and shall exhibit the certificate from time to time to Payee of this Note if Payee desires to inspect the same; and (ii) mail or cause to be mailed to Payee, in the manner provided for giving notice pursuant to this Note, a notice stating that such adjustment has been made and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.

3.8           Reservation and Listing of Shares for Issuance. Red Mountain shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of its duly authorized shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note. Red Mountain covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note in compliance with the terms hereof will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.  As long as this Note shall be outstanding, Red Mountain shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed, if any.

3.9           Investment Intent, Restrictions on Transfer, Legends etc. Payee acknowledges that this Note and the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended, or any successor legislation (the "Act"), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Note or any Common Stock issued upon conversion in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Act as to this Note or the Common Stock and registration or qualification of this Note or the Common Stock under any applicable blue sky or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to Red Mountain, that such registration and qualification are not required.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the offering and sale of Common Stock issued upon conversion to be issued shall have been effectively registered under the Act, Red Mountain shall be under no obligation to issue the shares covered by such conversion unless and until Payee shall have executed an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to Red Mountain, including a warranty at the time of such exercise that he is acquiring such shares for his own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such shares, in which event Payee shall be bound by the provisions of a legend to such effect on the certificate(s) representing Common Stock to be issued upon conversion.  In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Red Mountain may delay issuance of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which Red Mountain believes necessary or advisable under any applicable law (including without limitation state securities or "blue sky" laws).

Red Mountain intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares of Red Mountain’s Common Stock sold in its recently completed private placement.
