ARTICLE II

 

CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“ Common Stock ”) as set forth below.

 

2.1.            Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock .

 

   (a)           The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest, at the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a " Conversion Date ") into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the " Fixed Conversion Price "), determined as provided herein.  Upon delivery to the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A , Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “ Delivery Date ”) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing.  At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, if any, through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date.  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 of the Note and interest, if any, to be converted, by the Conversion Price.

 

   (b)           Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the fixed conversion price per share shall be equal to $0.07 (“ Fixed Conversion Price ”).

 

   (c)            The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a) , shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

   A.            Merger, Sale of Assets, etc .  If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or  consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,  (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Borrower, or (F) the Borrower effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a " Fundamental  Transaction "), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.

B.            Reclassification, etc.   If the Borrower 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 that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof 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 immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

 

C.            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 in shares of Common Stock, the 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.

 

D.            Share Issuance .   So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration per share that is less than the Fixed Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price.  For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Borrower for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock.  The reduction of the Fixed Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in the Subscription Agreement.

 

E.            Funding Reset .   In the event the Borrower does not engage in a strategic and synergistic merger, license or business arrangement with an entity engaged in the alternative energy or solar energy industries which entity has net assets of not less than $5,000,000, the primary purpose of such transaction is not the raising of capital by the Borrower, and in connection with such other entity invests not less than $750,000 cash funds in the Borrower within ninety days after the Issue Date, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced (and under no circumstances increased) to 80% of the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market for the five trading days preceding (but not including) the ninetieth day after the Issue Date.

  (d)           Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

  (e)           During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than an amount of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full conversion of this Note.  Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
