CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY
NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TRX, Inc.
(“Borrower”) unconditionally promises to pay to
WorldTravel Partners I, LLC (“WTP”) on November 16,
2006 (the “Due Date”) (unless and only to the extent
that this Note shall have been sooner paid off or converted as
herein provided), without setoff, at its offices at 1055 Lenox Park
Boulevard, Suite 420, Atlanta, Georgia 30319, or at such other
place as may be designated by WTP in writing, the principal amount
of Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000.00)
together with interest computed daily on the outstanding principal
balance hereunder, at an annualized interest rate equal to 7% (the
“Note”).
1. Fees and
Charges . Notwithstanding any other provision
contained in this Note, WTP does not intend to charge and Borrower
shall not be required to pay any amount of interest or other
fees-or charges that are in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be
refunded to Borrower or credited against principal, at the option
of WTP.
2. Conversion
.
2.1 Subject to the provisions
of this Section, at the option of WTP, all of the outstanding
principal amount plus any accrued and due but unpaid interest under
this Note may be converted, in whole, at any time on or before the
Maturity Date, into shares of the Company’s common stock,
$.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at the
Conversion Price, determined as provided below, provided,
however, if prior to such conversion the Company shall issue
any other class or series of capital stock (the “Senior
Stock”), WTP, at its option, may elect to convert all of the
outstanding principal amount plus any accrued and due but unpaid
interest under this Note into shares of the Senior Stock on the
terms and conditions as set forth herein.
2.2 Upon conversion of this
Note, WTP shall be entitled to receive one share of Common Stock
for each Eleven Dollars and 03/100 cents ($11.03) of principal and
accrued and due but unpaid interest through the Conversion Date
(“Conversion Price”). As payment of accrued and unpaid
but not yet due interest, at the election of the Company WTP shall
be entitled to receive either (a) a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to such amount of interest divided by the Conversion
Price, or (b) a cash amount equal to such amount of interest. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the
conversion of this Note. Instead of a
fraction of a share of Common
Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this
Note, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fraction of a share of Common Stock in an amount equal to the same
fractional interest of the Conversion Price. The Company shall pay
all taxes and other charges in respect of the issuance of shares of
Common Stock to WTP upon such conversion.
2.3 In the case that the
Company shall, after the date hereof, issue or enter into an
agreement to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities
convertible into Common Stock (except for (i) shares of capital
stock issued upon conversion of any shares of the Company’s
preferred stock, (ii) shares of capital stock issued or issuable
pursuant to options or purchase agreements, warrants, capital
appreciation rights, calls, convertible shares, convertible debt
securities or other rights to acquire the Company’s
authorized and unissued capital stock which are outstanding on the
date hereof, (iii) shares issued pursuant to options granted under
the Company’s option plan after the date hereof so long as
the exercise price of such options is greater than $5.51, (iv)
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a subdivision of the
Common Stock or stock dividend pursuant to which the number of
shares for which this Note is convertible and the purchase price
therefore are adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, or (iv)
shares of capital stock issued pursuant to the exchange, conversion
or exercise of any securities convertible into Common Stock that
have previously been incorporated into computations hereunder) at a
purchase price per share for which Common Stock is issuable is less
than the Conversion Price then in effect (the “ Dilutive
Purchase Price ”), the Conversion Price then in effect
shall become the Dilutive Purchase Price. Promptly after any
adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2.3,
the Company shall give written notice to WTP of the Conversion
Price following such adjustment, together with a schedule of
computations of such adjustment and confirmation from the
Company’s auditors of such adjustment.
2.4 In order to exercise the
right of conversion pursuant to Section 2.1 above, WTP shall give
written notice to the Company that WTP has elected to convert this
Note. Following receipt of such conversion notice, WTP shall
surrender this Note to the Company at its principal office. Upon
receipt of the Note so surrendered by WTP, the Company shall issue
and deliver to WTP the certificate or certificates or other
document evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable on such
conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
at the close of business on the date of surrender of the Note to
the Company (the “Conversion Date”) and at such time
all rights of WTP under this Note shall cease and WTP shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of the shares of Common
Stock of the Company into which this Note was converted.
2.5 In the event of any
taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who
are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution or any
right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of
stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right, the Company shall mail to WTP, at least
twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, and the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or rights.

2.6 Anti-Dilution
Adjustments .
(a) If the Company shall at
any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or effect
a forward stock split by issuing stock dividends, then the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible
immediately prior to that subdivision (the “Number of Note
Shares”) shall be proportionately increased and the purchase
price therefor proportionately decreased, and if the Company shall
at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then
the Number of Note Shares shall be proportionately decreased and
the purchase price therefor proportionately increased. Any
adjustment under this Section 2 shall become effective at the close
of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(b) If the Common Stock
issuable on conversion of this Note shall be changed into the same
or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of
stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares
provided for above), then WTP shall, upon its conversion, be
entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock which WTP would
have become entitled to receive but for such change, that number of
shares of such other class or classes of stock which is equivalent
to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
subject to receipt by WTP on conversion of this Note immediately
prior to that change.
(c) If at any time there
