2.2 Remedies Upon An Event of Default
. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall be continuing, the Holder of this Note may at
any time at its option declare the entire unpaid principal balance
of this Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, due and
payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all
of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably
waived by the Maker; provided, however , that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described above, the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion,
may (a) demand the redemption of this Note pursuant to Section
3.6(a) hereof (to the extent permitted by Section 3.6(a) hereof),
(b) demand that the principal amount of this Note then outstanding
and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be converted into
shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price per share on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Holder demands
conversion pursuant to this clause, or (c) exercise or otherwise
enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers,
privileges, remedies and interests under this Note, the Purchase
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or applicable law;
provided further, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default described in clauses (k) or (l), the entire unpaid
principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued
hereon, shall automatically become due and payable, and thereupon,
the same shall be accelerated and so due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby
expressly unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Maker. No
course of delay on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver
thereof or otherwise prejudice the right of the Holder. No remedy
conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to
herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute
or otherwise.
ARTICLE 3
3.1 Conversion .
(a) Voluntary Conversion . At any time and from time to time on or after
the Amendment Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in
part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by
dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance that
the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as
defined in Section 3.2 hereof) then in effect on the date on which
the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “
Conversion Notice
”), duly executed, to the Maker
(facsimile number (908) 464-1705, Attn.: Raymond P. Warrell, Jr.,
M.D.) (the “ Voluntary
Conversion Date ”).
The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address
designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is
fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note,
the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note
converted as of each Conversion Date. On any such Voluntary
Conversion Date, Maker shall also pay Holder an amount in cash
equal to the then accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the
outstanding principal balance that the Holder has elected to
convert.
(b) Mandatory Conversion . On the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined
below), the Maker may cause the principal amount all or a portion
of the Notes to convert into a number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i)
the principal amount of the Notes divided by (ii) the Conversion
Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date by providing five
business (5) days prior written notice of such Mandatory Conversion
Date. Any such conversion shall be made pro-rata amongst all
Holders of Notes. As used herein, a “ Mandatory Conversion Date ” shall be a date on which the Daily VWAP
has exceeded $0.50 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock
combinations and the like) for each of the twenty (20) consecutive
prior Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to
such date; provided,
that the Equity Conditions
shall have been satisfied and the Common Stock shall have been
Tradable on each Trading Day during the period beginning on the
first day of such 20-day period and ending on the date of the
delivery of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the mandatory
conversion. The Mandatory Conversion Date and the Voluntary
Conversion Date collectively are referred to in this Note as the
“ Conversion
Date .” On any such
Mandatory Conversion Date, Maker shall also pay Holder an amount in
cash equal to the then accrued and unpaid interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Notes.
3.2 Conversion Price . The term “ Conversion Price ” shall mean $0.01, subject to adjustment
under Section 3.5 hereof.
5
3.3 Mechanics of Conversion .
(a) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any
Conversion Date (the “ Delivery Date ”), the Maker or its designated transfer
agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the DTC account on
the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission System (“ DWAC ”) as specified in the Conversion Notice,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, free from
any restrictive legend. If in the case of any Conversion Notice
such shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable
Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by
written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of
such shares, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker
shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion,
whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their
respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such
notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections
3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of
rescission is given to the Maker.
(b) The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery
of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond
the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If
the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC by
the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an
amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are
delivered via DWAC, together with interest on such amount at a rate
of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued
interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i)
1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be
converted for each of the first five (5) Trading Days after the
Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and
(B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s
failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock
upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law
or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to
withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker
shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in
accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion
Notice is withdrawn.
(c) In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Maker fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit
via DWAC the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date
the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Note which the Holder anticipated
receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In” ), then the Maker shall (1) pay in cash to the
Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note that the Maker was required to deliver to
the Holder in connection with such conversion times (B) the price
at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the
portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock
for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Maker timely complied with its conversion and delivery
obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock
with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Maker shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Maker written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Maker. Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to
the terms hereof.
6
3.4 Ownership Cap.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Company issue to
Holder shares of Common Stock or the Holder convert all or a
portion of this Note into shares of Common Stock if the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such issuance or
conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of
Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time and all shares of
Common Stock that the Holder is then the beneficial owner of (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules thereunder), the number of shares of Common Stock that
would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder) more than 4.999% of all of the Common Stock outstanding
at such time; provided,
however , that upon the
Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice
(pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof) (the “
Waiver Notice
”) that the Holder would like to
waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of
Common Stock issuable in respect of this Note, this Section 3.4(a)
will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of
the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Company issue to
Holder shares of Common Stock or the Holder convert all or a
portion of this Note into shares of Common Stock if the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such issuance or
conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
owned by the Holder at such time and all shares of Common Stock
that the Holder is then the beneficial holder of (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder), would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such
time.
3.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted
in full, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than
pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) hereof):
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and
Combinations . If the Maker
shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date
effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the
applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall
at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be
proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section
3.5(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date
the stock split or combination occurs.
(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and
Distributions . If the
Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance
Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each
event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance
or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date, by multiplying the
applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number
of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such
record date; and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number
of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such
record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and
Distributions . If the
Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance
Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then,
and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable
Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by
adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the
holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in
addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable
thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as
applicable) or other property that they would have received had
this Note
7
been converted into Common Stock on
the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from
the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date,
retained such securities (together with any distributions payable
thereon during such period) or assets, giving application to all
adjustments called for during such period under this Section
3.5(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note
and the Other Notes; provided, however , that if such record date shall have been fixed
and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not
fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall
be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual
payment of such dividends or distributions.
(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or
Substitution . If the
Common Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance
Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or
other securities of any class or classes of stock or other
property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or
