The following terms shall apply to this Secured Convertible Term Note (this “Note”):
ARTICLE I
CONTRACT RATE AND AMORTIZATION
1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10, interest payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “Prime Rate”), plus two percent (2.0%) (the “Contract Rate”). The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in the Prime Rate. The Contract Rate shall not at any time be less than seven and one quarter percent (7.25%). Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on February 1, 2006, on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
1.2 Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note at any time (the “Principal Amount”) shall be made by the Company on July 1, 2006 and on the first business day of each succeeding month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date (each, an “Amortization Date”). Subject to Article III below, commencing on the first Amortization Date, the Company shall make monthly payments
to the Holder on each Repayment Date, each such payment in the amount of $66,666.67 together with any accrued and unpaid interest on such portion of the Principal Amount plus any and all other unpaid amounts which are then owing under this Note, the Security Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement (collectively, the “Monthly Amount”). Any outstanding Principal Amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any and all other unpaid amounts which are then owing by the Company to the Holder under this Note, the Security Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
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 Company shall pay
the Holder an amount in cash equal to 100% 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 $ 0.65.
(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
110% of the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) the amount of such conversion
does not exceed twenty percent (20%) 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 100% 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
2
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.
2.3
Optional Redemption in Cash. The Company may prepay this Note
(“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a
sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the Principal
Amount outstanding at such time together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder
arising under this Note, the Security Agreement or any other Ancillary
Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the
Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). 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 ten (10) 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 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 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 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 Shares limitation described in this
Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and void following notice to
any Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, upon 75 days prior notice to the Parent, or upon receipt by the Holder
of a Notice of Redemption.
3
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 any 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 (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 one (1) business day 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
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.
3.5
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.
