2.1    Payment of Monthly Amount.

 

(a)    Payment in Cash or Common Stock . Subject to Section 2.1(b), each month by the fifth (5 th ) business day prior to each Amortization Date (the “ Notice Date ”), the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (appropriately completed) (each, a “ Repayment Notice ”) stating whether, according to the Conversion Criteria (as defined below), the Monthly Amount payable on the next Amortization Date shall be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both.  If a Payment Election   Notice is not delivered by the Holder on or before the applicable Notice Date for such Amortization   Date, then the Company shall pay the Monthly Amount due on such Amortization Date in cash. If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount shall have been 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 Company shall pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to 101% of the Monthly Amount (or such portion of such Monthly Amount to be paid in cash) due and owing to the Holder on the Amortization Date. 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 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the number of such shares to be issued by the Company to the Holder on such Amortization Date (in respect of such portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by dividing (i) the portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock, by (ii) the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the initial “ Fixed Conversion Price ” means $3.48.

 

(b)    Monthly Amount Conversion Conditions . Subject to Sections 2.1(a), 2.2, and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert into shares of Common Stock all or a portion of the Monthly Amount due on each Amortization Date if the following conditions (the “ Conversion Criteria ”) are satisfied: (i) the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such Amortization Date shall be greater than or equal to 115% of the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) the amount of such conversion 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 Amortization Date. If subsection (i) of the Conversion Criteria is met but subsection (ii) of the Conversion Criteria is not met as to the entire Monthly Amount, the Holder shall convert only such part of the Monthly Amount that meets subsection (ii) of the Conversion Criteria. Any portion of the Monthly Amount due on an Amortization Date that the Holder has not been able to convert into shares of Common Stock due to the failure to meet the Conversion Criteria, shall be paid in cash by the Company at the rate of 101% of the Monthly Amount otherwise due on such Amortization Date, within three (3) business days of such Amortization Date.

 

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 Securities Act and (b) no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists and is continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or otherwise waived in writing by the Holder.

The Company shall deliver to 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 Section 3.3 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 full in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Company fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.

 

ARTICLE III   

 

HOLDER’S CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

3.1    Optional Conversion . Subject to the terms set forth in this Article III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the 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, or upon 75 days prior notice to the Company, except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder a 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 $3.10 per share pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other Related Agreement, shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,377,533 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 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. Except for conversions of lesser amounts made pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, the Holder shall not, pursuant to any Notice of Conversion (defined below) convert an amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars (US$10,000).

 

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 (appropriately 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 (the “ Delivery Date ”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides the Company written instructions to the contrary.

 

3.4    Late Payments . The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Company shall pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

 

3.5    Conversion Mechanics . The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. In the event of any conversions of a portion of the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of the outstanding Principal Amount applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in chronological order.

 

3.6    Adjustment Provisions . The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

(a)    Reclassification . If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after, such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.

 

(b)    Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends . If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

(c)    Share Issuances . Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, if the Company shall at any time prior to the conversion or repayment in full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock to a Person other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to Sections 3.6(a) or (b) above; (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to the Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Company) for a consideration per share (the “ Offer Price ”) less than the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be immediately reset pursuant to the formula below.
