Subject to Sections 1.1(b), 4.12 and 5.6 hereof, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus seventy five basis points (75 bp). The prime rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the prime rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the prime rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in such rate. Subject to Section 1.1(b) hereof, the Interest Rate shall not be less than five and one half percent (5.50%). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. Interest on the Amortizing Principal Amount shall be payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on April 1, 2005 and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter (each, a “ Repayment Date ”) and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

 

(b)   Interest Rate Adjustment . The Interest Rate shall be subject to adjustment on the last business day of each month hereafter until the Maturity Date (each a “ Determination Date ”). If on any Determination Date (i) the Borrower shall have registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), the shares of Common Stock underlying the conversion of this Note and the exercise of the Warrant issued on a registration statement (the “ Registration Statement ” (as more fully described in the Registration Rights Agreement)) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), and (ii) the market price (the “Market Price”) of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market (as defined below) for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty five percent (25%), the Interest Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.)

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION REPAYMENT

 

2.1   (a)   Payment of Monthly Amount in Cash or Common Stock . If the Monthly Amount (or a portion thereof of such Monthly Amount if such portion of the Monthly Amount would have been converted into shares of Common Stock but for Section 3.2) shall be paid in cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b) or 2.1(c), then the Borrower shall pay the Holder an amount equal to One Hundred one percent (101%) of the principal amount of the Monthly Amount then due and owing to the Holder in cash, within three (3) days of the Repayment Date (excluding such portion thereof of such Monthly Amount that would have been converted into shares of Common Stock but for Section 3.2 ). If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount is converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2) is to be paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the number of such shares to be issued by the Borrower to the Holder on such Repayment Date (in respect of such portion of the Monthly Amount converted into in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock, by (y) the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, the initial “ Fixed Conversion Price ” means $1.00, subject to Section 3.5 of this Agreement, shall at no time be less than $1.00. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be reset to the closing price of the common stock on each date upon which an aggregate of $500,000 of conversions are made (singularly or in the aggregate) pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Reset”). For the purposes of the preceding sentence, if a conversion amount exceeds the applicable $500,000 threshold, triggering a Reset, such conversion amount (not to exceed $50,000) shall be converted at such Fixed Conversion Price then in effect.

 

     (b)   Monthly Amount Conversion Guidelines . Subject to Sections 2.1(a), and 2.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert into shares of Common Stock all or a portion of the Monthly Amount due on each Repayment Date according to the following guidelines (collectively, the “Conversion Criteria” ): (i) the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such Redemption Date shall be greater than or equal to 110% of the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) the amount of such conversion does not exceed 10.42% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty two (22) trading days immediately preceding the applicable Repayment Date. If the Conversion Criteria are not met, the Holder shall convert only such part of the Monthly Amount that meets the Conversion Criteria.

 

(c)   Borrower’s right to convert the Monthly Amount if Conversion Criteria is not met . Subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, if the Borrower is required to pay cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof because the average closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market is less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fixed Conversion Price for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding a Repayment Date, then the Borrower may elect to provide the Holder with a notice (the “ Repayment Notice ”) requiring the conversion of the Monthly Amount (together with accrued and unpaid interest and applicable fees) at a conversion price equal to eighty five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing prices of the Common Stock during the twenty two (22) trading days immediately prior to the date of the Repayment Notice, provided, however, that such conversion of the Monthly Amount does not exceed 10.42% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty two (22) trading days immediately preceding delivery of a Repayment Notice. In no event shall Borrower convert pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) if the conversion price for the purposes of this Section 2.1(c) is less than $1.00. If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount is converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2) is to be paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(c), the number of such shares to be issued by the Borrower to the Holder on such Repayment Date (in respect of such portion of the Monthly Amount converted into in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(c)), shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock, by (y) the eighty five (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing prices of the Common Stock during the twenty two (22) trading days immediately prior to the date of the Repayment Notice.

 

(d)    Application of Conversion Amounts . Any amounts converted by the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 (a), (b), or (c) shall be deemed to constitute payments of, or applied against, (i) first, outstanding fees, (ii) second, accrued interest on the Amortizing Principal Amount, and (iii), the Amortizing Principal Amount.

 

2.2   No Effective Registration . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amount payable hereunder may be converted into Common Stock unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement exists, or (ii) an exemption from registration of the Common Stock is available pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and (b) no Event of Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option.

 

2.3   Optional Redemption of Amortizing Principal Amount . The Borrower will have the option of prepaying the outstanding Amortizing Principal Amount (“ Optional Amortizing Redemption ”), in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the Amortizing Principal Amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement (the “ Amortizing Redemption Amount ”) on the Amortizing Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Borrower shall deliver to the Holder a notice of redemption (the “ Notice of Amortizing Redemption ”) specifying the date for such Optional Amortizing Redemption (the “ Amortizing Redemption Payment Date ”), which date shall be not less than seven (7) business days after the date of the Notice of Amortizing Redemption (the “ Redemption Period ”). A Notice of Amortizing Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of the Amortizing Principal Amount for which the Holder has a pending election to convert pursuant to Section 3.1 or for conversions initiated or made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period. The Amortizing Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Amortizing Redemption. On the Amortizing Redemption Payment Date, the Amortizing Redemption Amount shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Amortizing Redemption Amount on the Amortizing Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Notice of Amortizing Redemption will be null and void.
