time to time prior to the day this Note is paid in full, to convert
all or any part |
1
| |
|
|
of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note as
shall remain unpaid at the effective date of the conversion, into,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value

“Conversion Price”). The Conversion Right may be
exercised notwithstanding Maker’s issuance of a notice of
intention to make a voluntary prepayment, and the effective date of
an elective conversion is the date of Holder’s delivery of a
“Conversion Notice” in the form attached hereto. |
| |
| |

convert into shares of the Company’s common stock on the date
when closing bid price of a share of the Company’s common
stock equals $3.00 per share or greater for thirty
(30) consecutive trading days on the American Stock Exchange,
provided that the underlying shares have either been registered for
resale by the holders of the securities pursuant to certain
piggyback registration rights granted to the Holder as described in
paragraph D below or are eligible to be sold under and subject to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. |

C. |

Mechanics of Conversion. The Holder shall effect any
elective conversions by delivering to the Company a completed
notice in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit “A” (a “Conversion Notice”).
Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount
outstanding under this Note or an Automatic Conversion has
occurred, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this
Note to the Company in order to effect conversions. Conversions
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
principal amount of this Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon paid in equity securities in an amount equal to the
applicable conversion. The Company shall maintain records showing
the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions and
will promptly notify Holder if an Automatic Conversion occurs. Upon
conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and
any accrued, unpaid interest, whether in connection with a
conversion at the option of Holder pursuant to exercise of the
Conversion Right or pursuant to an Automatic Conversion, this Note
shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company for cancellation
and a certificate representing the Common Stock issued to Holder
therefor shall be delivered to Holder. No fractional shares or
scrip shall be issued upon any conversion of this Note. Instead of
any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable upon
conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to that
fractional interest of the Conversion Price at which the Note was
converted. |
