          1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10, interest payable

                                   ARTICLE II

                            CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION

 

          2.1 Payment of Monthly Amount.

 

                     (a) Payment in Cash or Common Stock. If the Monthly Amount

          (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount

          may be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2)

          is required to be paid in cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b), then the

          the Holder shall convert on each such Trigger Date, subject to

          Sections 2.1(a), 2.2, and 3.2 hereof, such principal amount of the

          Note as does not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate

          dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the period of twenty-two

          (22) trading days immediately preceding such Trigger Date less any

          amounts previously converted during such period under Section 2.1(b)

          above. No more than one (1) Trigger Date may occur in any calendar

          month.

 

          2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary herein, none of the Company's obligations to the Holder may be

converted into Common Stock unless (a) either (i) an effective current

Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)

covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with satisfaction

of such obligations exists or (ii) an exemption from registration for resale of

all of the Common Stock issued and issuable is available pursuant to Rule 144 of

the Holder a written notice of redemption (the "NOTICE OF REDEMPTION")

specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the "REDEMPTION PAYMENT

DATE"), which date shall be seven (7) business days after the date of the Notice

of Redemption (the "REDEMPTION PERIOD"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be

effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has

previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (as hereinafter defined) or for

conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Article III during the

Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the Holder's

conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the

Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must

be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Company fails to pay the

Article III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert

all or any portion of the issued and outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued

interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of

Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price. The shares of Common Stock to be

issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as, the "CONVERSION SHARES."

 

          3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein

to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the

terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of

Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between (i) 4.99% of the

issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of

Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder. For purposes of the immediately

preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with

Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The

Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 3.2 shall automatically

become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and

during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon 75 days prior notice to the

Company, or upon receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Redemption, except that at

no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the

Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding

anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock

issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price below $update

Friday $4.95 per share pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase

Agreement or any other Related Agreement, shall not exceed an aggregate of

2,108,764 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock

splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common

Stock) (the "MAXIMUM COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE"), unless the issuance of Common

Stock hereunder

 

 

                                         4

in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the

Company's shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number

of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Note, the

Purchase Agreement or any other Related Agreement, together with the number of

shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder

in the event of a conversion or exercise pursuant to the terms of this Note, the

Purchase Agreement or any other Related Agreement, would exceed the Maximum

Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 3.2, the Company shall promptly call

a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the

shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of

this Section 3.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or the

Company.]

 

          3.3 Mechanics of Holder's Conversion. In the event that the Holder

elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of

such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in

substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (appropriate completed) ("NOTICE OF

CONVERSION") to the Company and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a

breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and

fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined)

and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the

appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as

entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Company

within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a

Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Company in accordance

with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the "CONVERSION

DATE"). Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Company will

issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel

within three (3) business days of the date of the delivery to the Company of the

Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the

certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the

account of the Holder's designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation

("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within

three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion
