FOR VALUE RECEIVED , GREENS WORLDWIDE
INCORPORATED , an Arizona corporation
(the “ Borrower
”), hereby promises to pay to the order of
each of the parties listed on attached Schedule A or registered assigns (the
“ Holder ”) the amount listed on attached Schedule A on March 22, 2010
(the “Maturity Date
”). Any amount of principal on this Note which
is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 15% per
annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (the
“ Default Interest
”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent
not converted into common stock, no 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.
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 of even date by and among the Borrower and AJW Partners,
LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC and New
Millenium Capital Partners II, LLC (collectively, the
“ Holders ”), 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 and
Intellectual Property Security Agreement each of even date and by
and among the Borrower and the Holders.
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, (ii) the date of delivery of the Optional Prepayment Notice
(as defined in Article V
) to the Holder and (iii) the date of payment of the
Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to
Section 1.6(a) or
Article III, 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 this Note
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. 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) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the
immediately preceding clause (1).
(a) Calculation of Conversion Price . The Conversion Price shall be
equivalent to 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 three Trading
Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the three
Trading Day
period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the
Notice of Conversion 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 the Borrower and the Holder and hereafter
designated by the 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 25%.
(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
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 .
The Borrower covenants that, once the Authorized
Share Amendment (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has been
declared effective by the Arizona Corporation Commission as
provided in the Purchase Agreement, then 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. Once the Authorized
Share Amendment has been declared effective by the Arizona
Corporation Commission as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the
Borrower will be
required at all times to have authorized and
reserved the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full
conversion of the Notes (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes
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(g) 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. Once the Authorized Share
Amendment has been declared effective by the Arizona Corporation
Commission as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Borrower (i)
acknowledges that it will irrevocably instruct its transfer agent
to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note and (ii) agrees that the 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 after the Authorized Share Amendment
has been declared effective by the Arizona Corporation Commission
as provided in the Purchase Agreement, 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 day the holder submits a Notice of Conversion giving rise to a
Conversion Default and (ii) the Conversion Price on the Conversion
Date thereafter elected by the Holder in respect thereof. 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 a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of
the full outstanding principal balance of this Note.

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 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 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.
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 of
even date executed in connection with the initial issuance of this
Note and the other Notes issued on the Issue Date (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:

CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
