$_______
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AEGIS ASSESSMENTS, INC., a Delaware Corporation
(hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay
to the order of ________________ or registered assigns (the “Holder”)
the sum of $_______, on October 27, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”),
and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of six
percent (6%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from October
27, 2006 (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 $.10 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 October 27, 2006, pursuant to
which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).
1
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 and Intellectual Property Security Agreement, each dated
October 27, 2006 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) 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) 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 October 27, 2006, 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 Variable Conversion Price
(as defined herein) (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%; provided, however, that the Applicable Percentage shall be increased
to (i) 55% in the event that the Registration Statement (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) is filed on or before the Filing Date (as
defined in the in the Registration Rights Agreement) and (ii) 60% in the event
that the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) becomes effective on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). In addition, the Holder
agrees that it will limit all of its conversions to no more than the greater of
(1) $80,000 per calendar month; or (2) the average daily dollar volume
calculated during the ten (10) business days prior to a conversion, per
conversion.
(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
3
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. 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:
4
(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.
5
(d)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of an e-mail
transmission to the President of the Company (or other reasonable means
of communication of which the Holder can confirm was received by an appropriate
officer of the Borrower) 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, which
as of the Issue Date the Borrower or its transfer agent is not participating,
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 three (3) 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 $1,000
per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to
deliver such Common Stock but in no event shall exceed $5,000 in the aggregate.
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
6
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 related transactions
