CALLABLE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Great Neck, NY
December 28, 2005
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
JUNIPER GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter
called the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of
_________________
or registered assigns
(the "Holder")
the sum of _______,
on January 15,
2009
(the "Maturity
Date"), and to pay interest on the unpaid
principal balance
hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) (the "Interest Rate") per annum from
December 28, 2005 (the
"Issue Date")
until the same
becomes due and
payable,
whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. Any
amount of principal
or interest on this Note which is not
paid when due shall
bear interest at the
rate of fifteen
percent (15%) per annum from the due date
thereof until the same is paid ("Default Interest"). Interest shall commence
accruing on the Issue Date, shall be computed on the basis of a
365-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly provided that
no interest shall be
due and payable for
any month in which the Trading Price
(as such term is defined below) is greater than $.0375 for
each Trading Day (as
such term is defined
below) of the month.
All payments due
hereunder (to the
extent not converted
into common stock,
$.001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock") in accordance
with the terms
hereof) shall be made
in lawful money of
the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such
address as the
Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made
in accordance
with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to
be due by the
terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day,
the same shall
instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business
day and, in the
case of any interest
payment date which is not the date on
which this Note is
paid in full, the
extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into
account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such
date. As
used in this Note,
the term "business day" shall mean any day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of
New York, New
York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain
closed. Each
capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined,
shall have the
meaning
ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December
28, 2005, pursuant to which this Note was
originally
issued (the "Purchase
Agreement").
This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances
with respect to
the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or
other similar
rights of shareholders
of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability
upon the holder
thereof. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Note shall
be secured by that certain Security Agreement, dated December 28, 2005 by and
between the Borrower and the Holder.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS
1.1 Conversion Right.
The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at
any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date
of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III)
pursuant to Section
1.6(a) or Article III, the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined
in Section 5.1
or any payments
pursuant to Section 1.7, each in respect of the remaining
outstanding principal
amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the
outstanding and
unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and
non-assessable shares
of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue
Date, or any shares of
capital stock or other
securities of the
Borrower into
which such Common
Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the
conversion price (the
"Conversion
Price") determined as provided herein (a
"Conversion");
provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be
entitled
to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon
conversion of
which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than
shares of Common
Stock which may be
deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership of the
unconverted portion of
the Notes or the
unexercised or unconverted portion of
any other security of the Borrower (including, without limitation, the
warrants
issued by the Borrower pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) subject to a
limitation on
conversion or exercise
analogous to the
limitations
contained
herein) and (2) the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the
portion of this Note with respect to which the determination
of this proviso is
being made, would
result in beneficial ownership by the
Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common
Stock and provided
further that the Holder shall not be entitled to convert any
portion of this Note during any month immediately succeeding a Determination
Date on which the Borrower exercises its prepayment
option pursuant to
Section
5.2 of this Note. For
purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance
with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and Regulations
13D-G
thereunder, except as
otherwise provided in clause (1) of such
proviso. The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this
Note
shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by
the
applicable Conversion
Price then in effect
on the date specified in the notice
of conversion,
in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Notice of
Conversion"), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance
with Section
1.4 below; provided
that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or
by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in,
notice) to the
Borrower before 6:00
p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the
"Conversion Date).
The term "Conversion Amount" means, with respect to any
conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be
converted in such
conversion plus (2) at
the Borrower's
option, accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest
rates provided
in this Note to the Conversion Date, provided, however, that the Company shall
have the right to pay any or all interest in cash plus (3) at the Borrower's
option, Default
Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately
preceding clauses (1)
and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder's option, any amounts
owed to the Holder
pursuant to Sections
1.3 and 1.4(g)
hereof or pursuant
to
Section 2(c) of that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated
as of December
28, 2005, executed in
connection with the initial issuance of this Note and the
other Notes issued on the Issue Date (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"). The
term "Determination
Date" means the last
business day of each
month after the
Issue Date.
1.2 Conversion
Price.
(a) Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be
the lesser of
(i) the Variable
Conversion
Price (as defined herein) and (ii) the Fixed
Conversion Price
(subject, in each case, to equitable
adjustments
for stock
splits, stock
dividends or rights
offerings by the Borrower relating to the
Borrower's securities
or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower,
combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions
and similar events).
The "Variable
Conversion Price" shall mean the Applicable
Percentage (as
defined herein) multiplied by the Market Price (as defined
herein). "Market Price" means the average of the lowest three (3)
Trading Prices
(as defined
below) for the Common
Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day
period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion
Notice is sent by
the Holder to the Borrower via facsimile (the "Conversion Date"). "Trading
Price" means, for any security as of any date, the intraday trading
price on the
Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board
(the "OTCBB") as reported by a reliable
reporting service
("Reporting
Service") mutually acceptable to Borrower and
Holder and hereafter
designated
by Holders of a
majority in
interest of the
Notes and the Borrower or, if the OTCBB is not the principal
trading market for
such security,
the intraday
trading price of such security on the principal
securities exchange or
trading market where
such security is
listed or traded
or, if no intraday
trading price of such
security is
available in any of
the
foregoing manners,
the average of the
intraday trading prices of any market
makers for such
security that are
listed in the "pink
sheets" by the National
Quotation Bureau,
Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such
security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be
the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the
holders of
a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the
calculation of
the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion
Price of such
Notes. "Trading Day"
shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for
any period on the
OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other
securities market on
which the Common Stock is then being traded. "Applicable
Percentage" shall mean 50.0%. The "Fixed Conversion Price" shall
mean $.05.
(b) Conversion
Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything
contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the
Borrower (i) makes
a public announcement
that it intends to
consolidate
or merge with any
other
corporation (other
than a merger in which
the Borrower
is the surviving or
continuing corporation
and its capital stock
is unchanged) or sell or transfer
all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any
person, group
or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender
offer to purchase
50% or more of the Borrower's Common Stock (or any other
takeover scheme)
(the
date of the
announcement referred
to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter
referred to as the
"Announcement
Date"), then the Conversion Price shall,
effective upon
the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted
Conversion Price
Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of
(x) the Conversion
Price which
would have been
applicable
for a Conversion
occurring on the
Announcement
Date and (y) the
Conversion
Price that would
otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion
Price Termination
Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section
1.2(a). For purposes hereof, "Adjusted Conversion Price
Termination Date" shall
mean, with
respect to any
proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover
scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section
1.2(b)
has been made,
the date upon
which the Borrower (in the case of clause
(i)
above) or the
person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above)
consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of
the proposed
transaction or tender
offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section
1.2(b) to become operative.
1.3 Authorized Shares.
Subject to Stockholder Approval (as such term is defined
in Section 4(k) of the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Borrower covenants
that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve
from its authorized
and unissued
Common Stock a
sufficient number of
shares,
free from preemptive
rights, to provide for the issuance of
Common Stock upon
the full conversion
of this Note and the
other Notes
issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have
authorized and
reserved two times the
number of shares that
is actually
issuable upon full
conversion of the
Notes (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes or the
Exercise Price of the
Warrants in effect from time to time) (the "Reserved
Amount"). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time
in accordance
with the Borrower's obligations pursuant to Section 4(h) of the Purchase
Agreement. The
Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be
duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower
shall issue any
securities or make any
change to its capital
structure which
would change the
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be
convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower
shall at the same
time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a
sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights,
for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i)
acknowledges that
it
has irrevocably
instructed
its transfer agent to
issue certificates
for the
Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of
this Note, and (ii)
agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its
officers and agents
who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and
issue the necessary
certificates for
shares of Common Stock in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Note.
If, at any time a Holder of this Note submits a Notice of Conversion, and the
Borrower does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock
available to effect such conversion in accordance
with the provisions of this
Article I (a "Conversion Default"), subject to Section 4.8, the
Borrower shall
issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are then available
to effect such conversion. The portion of this Note which the
Holder included in
its Conversion
Notice and which
exceeds the amount
which is then
convertible
into available
shares
of Common Stock (the "Excess Amount") shall,
notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, not be convertible
into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof until (and at
the Holder's
option at any time
after) the date additional shares of Common Stock are
authorized by the
Borrower to permit such conversion, at which time the
Conversion Price in
respect thereof shall
be the lesser of (i) the Conversion
Price on the Conversion Default Date (as defined below)
and (ii) the Conversion
Price on the
Conversion Date
thereafter
elected by the Holder in respect
thereof. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder payments
("Conversion
Default Payments") for
a Conversion Default in the amount of (x) the sum of (1)
the then outstanding
principal amount of
this Note plus (2) accrued and unpaid
interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note through the
Authorization
Date (as defined
below) plus (3) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts
referred to in clauses (1) and/or (2), multiplied by (y) .24, multiplied
by (z)
(N/365), where N = the
number of days from the day the holder submits a Notice
of Conversion
giving rise to a
Conversion
Default (the
"Conversion
Default
Date") to the date (the "Authorization Date") that the Borrower authorizes a
sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock
to effect conversion
of the full
outstanding principal
balance of this Note.
The Borrower shall use its best
efforts to authorize a
sufficient
number of shares of
Common Stock as soon as
practicable following
the earlier of (i) such time that the Holder notifies the
Borrower or that the Borrower otherwise becomes aware that there are or
likely
will be insufficient
authorized and
unissued shares to
allow full
conversion
thereof and (ii) a Conversion Default. The Borrower shall send notice to the
Holder of the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock, the
Authorization Date
and the amount of Holder's accrued Conversion Default
Payments. The accrued
Conversion Default Payments for each calendar month shall
be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common Stock (at such
time as there
are sufficient
authorized shares of Common Stock) at the applicable Conversion
Price, at the Borrower's option, as follows:
(a) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in cash,
cash payment shall
be made to Holder by
the fifth (5th) day of
the month following
the month in
which it has accrued; and
(b) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in Common
Stock, the Holder
may convert such payment amount into Common Stock at the Conversion
Price (as in
effect at the time of
conversion) at any
time after the fifth day of the month
following the month in which it has accrued in accordance with the
terms of this
Article I (so long as there is then a sufficient number of authorized shares of
Common Stock).
The
Holder's election
shall be made in writing to the Borrower at any time
prior to 6:00 p.m.,
New York, New York time, on the third day of the month
following the month in which Conversion Default payments have accrued.
If no
election is made, the
Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive cash.
Nothing herein shall
limit the Holder's
right to pursue actual damages (to the
extent in excess of the Conversion Default Payments) for the
Borrower's failure
to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and
each
holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law
or in equity
(including degree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief).
1.4 Method of
Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note
may be converted
by the Holder in whole
or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue
Date, by (A)
submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile
or
other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date
prior
to 6:00 p.m., New
York, New York
time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b),
surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.
(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary
set forth herein, upon
conversion
of this Note in
accordance
with the terms
hereof, the Holder
shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to
the Borrower
unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so
converted. The Holder
and the Borrower
shall maintain records showing the
principal amount so
converted and the
dates of such
conversions or shall
use
such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the
Borrower, so as
not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such
conversion. In the
event of any dispute
or discrepancy,
such records of the Borrower shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as
aforesaid, the Holder
may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this
Note to the Borrower,
whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver
upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder
(upon payment
by the Holder of any
applicable
transfer taxes) may request,
representing in the
aggregate the
remaining unpaid
principal amount of this
Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note,
acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following
conversion
of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this
Note represented
by this Note may be
less than the amount
stated on the face
hereof.
(c) Payment of Taxes.
The Borrower
shall not be required
to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery
of
shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this
Note in a name other
than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the
Borrower shall not be
required to issue or deliver any such shares or other
securities or property
unless and until the
person or persons
(other than the
Holder or the
custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for
the
Holder's account)
requesting
the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Borrower the
amount of any such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.
(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower
from
the Holder
of a facsimile transmission (or other reasonable means of
communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements
for conversion
as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or
cause
to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder
certificates
for
the Common Stock
issuable upon such
conversion within
three (3) business days
after such receipt
(and, solely in the
case of conversion of the entire unpaid
principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) (such
third business day being
hereinafter referred
to as the "Deadline")
in accordance with the terms hereof
and the Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, in accordance with
the requirements of Section 2(g) of the Purchase Agreement that
certificates for
shares of Common Stock issued on or after the effective date of the
Registration
Statement upon conversion of this Note shall not bear any
restrictive legend).
(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by
the Borrower
of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the
holder of record
of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal
amount and the
amount of accrued
and unpaid interest on this Note shall be
reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its
obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the
portion of this
Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive
the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein
provided,
on such conversion.
If the Holder shall
have given a Notice of
Conversion as
provided herein, the Borrower's obligation to issue and deliver the
certificates
for Common Stock
shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any
person or any
action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the
enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder
of record, or
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach
or alleged
breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and
irrespective of
any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such
conversion. The
Conversion Date
specified in the
Notice of Conversion
shall be the Conversion
Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the
Borrower before 6:00
p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.
(f) Delivery of Common
Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering
physical certificates
representing
the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion,
provided the Borrower's transfer agent is participating in
the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") Fast
Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon
request of the Holder
and its compliance with the provisions contained in
Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to
cause its transfer
agent to
electronically
transmit the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion to the
Holder by crediting the account of Holder's Prime Broker
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC")
system.
(g) Failure to
Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way
limiting the Holder's right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages
and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery
of the Common Stock
issuable upon
conversion of this
Note is more than two (2) business days after
the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances
described in Section
1.3 above, which
failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower
shall
pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline
that
the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid
to Holder by the fifth
day of the
month following the month in which it has
accrued or, at the
option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by
the first day of the month following the month in which it
has accrued),
shall
be added to the
principal amount of
this Note, in which event interest shall
accrue thereon in
accordance
with the terms of this
Note and such
additional
principal amount shall
be convertible into
Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of this Note.
1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon
conversion
of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold
pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the
Borrower or its
transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of
counsel (which
opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
the shares to
be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred
pursuant to Rule
144 under the Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule 144") or (iv) such shares are
transferred to an
"affiliate"
(as defined in Rule 144) of the
Borrower who
agrees to sell or
otherwise transfer the
shares only in
accordance with
this
Section 1.5 and who is
an Accredited
Investor (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement). Except as
otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject
to the removal
provisions set forth
below), until such time as the shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been
registered
under
the Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or
otherwise may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of securities
as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for
shares of Common Stock
issuable upon
conversion of this Note that has not been
so included in an
effective registration
statement or that has not been sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits
removal of the legend,
shall bear a legend substantially in the following form,
as appropriate:
"THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR
ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
FOR THE SECURITIES
UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE
AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY
FOR OPINIONS OF
COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE
TRANSACTIONS, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR
REGULATION S UNDER SAID ACT."
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall
issue to the
Holder a new
certificate
therefor free of any transfer legend if (i) the
Borrower or its
transfer agent shall
have received an
opinion of counsel,
in
form, substance
and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions, to the
effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock
may be made without
registration
under the Act and the
shares are so sold
or
transferred, (ii) such
Holder provides the
Borrower or its transfer agent with
reasonable assurances
that the Common Stock
issuable upon
conversion of this
Note (to the extent such securities are deemed to have been
acquired on the same
date) can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) in the case of the Common Stock
issuable upon
conversion of this Note, such security is registered for
sale by
the Holder under an
effective registration statement filed under the Act or
otherwise may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144
without any
restriction as to
the
number of securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold.
Nothing in this
Note shall (i) limit the Borrower's obligation under the
Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) affect in any way the
Holder's obligations
to comply with applicable prospectus delivery requirements upon the resale
of
the securities referred to herein.
1.6 Effect of
Certain Events.
(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the
Holder, the sale,
conveyance or
disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or
series of r
