7.75% CONVERTIBLE NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AMERICAN DAIRY, INC., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of _____________________, or its assigns (the “Holder”), without demand, the sum of ___________________ Dollars ($______________), with simple interest accruing at the rate described below.
This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the Company and the Holder, dated of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription Agreement. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement.
ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Payments. Subject to Section 4.7 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue from the Closing Date at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to seven and three-fourths percent (7.75%), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.2 (the “Interest”). Interest shall be compounded annually, and shall be payable on the Maturity Date (defined below) in common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”). Interest shall be computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and be payable on the earlier of the Maturity Date, as hereinafter defined, or the date this Note is converted pursuant to Article 2. The principal of this Note (the “Principal”) and accrued but unpaid Interest thereon shall unless earlier converted be payable in full on the date that shall be thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”).
Upon any conversion in part by the Holder in accordance with Article II, the Holder and the Company shall in good faith recalculate the outstanding Principal balance and the Interest payable with respect to the converted portion. Upon any full conversion by the Holder in accordance with Article II, all of the payments of Principal due hereunder shall terminate and no further Interest shall accrue. All payments in respect of the Principal shall be made in cash in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, and payments shall be applied first to Principal and then to charges and expenses owing under or in connection with this Note.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of Interest will be determined based on a ratio of one share of Common Stock for each $14.50 in accrued Interest. No fractional shares will be issued; therefore, in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock due hereunder is not a whole number, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole share the number of such shares due.
1.2 Conversion Rights. The conversion rights set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Note shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, except to the extent previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article II hereof.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest due under this Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as set forth below.
2.1 Conversion into the Company’s Common Stock.
(a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid Principal portion of this Note, and accrued Interest on such portion, at the election of the Holder (the date of such conversion being a “Conversion Date”) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the “Conversion Price”), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Company of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder within five (5) business days from the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note and related Interest converted in accordance with the foregoing. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal of the Note and accrued Interest to be converted, by the Conversion Price.
(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be $14.50.
(c) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this Note remains outstanding, as follows:
(i) Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (A) effect a reorganization, (B) consolidate with or merge into any other person or (C) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Note, on the conversion hereof as provided in this Article II, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or other securities) issuable on such conversion prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property, including cash (collectively, the “Other Securities and Property”), to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so converted this Note, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 2.1(c)(iv).
2
(ii) Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and Other Securities and Property by the Holder of the Notes after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Article II to a bank or trust company (a “Trustee”) having its principal office in New York, New York, as trustee for the Holder of the Notes.
(iii) Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Article II, this Note shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and Property receivable on the conversion of this Note after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities and Property, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Note as provided in Section 2.1(c)(iv). In the event this Note does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Article II, then only in such event will the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Notes be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by Section 2.1(c)(ii).
(iv) Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (A) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 2.1(c)(iv). The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Note shall thereafter, on the conversion hereof as provided in Article II, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(iv)) be issuable on such conversion by a fraction of which (x) the numerator is the Conversion Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(iv)) be in effect, and (y) the de
