ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the
Principal Amount of 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)
Conversion in Qualified Equity Financing . In the
event the Company consummates an equity financing from and after
August 1, 2009 and prior to the second business day immediately
preceding the Maturity Date, in which it sells shares of its
Preferred Stock or Common Stock (“ Qualified
Stock ”) with aggregate gross proceeds of not less
than two million dollars ($2,000,000) and with the principal
purpose of raising capital (a “ Qualified Equity
Financing ”), then the Holder shall have the option,
but shall not be required, to convert all or a portion of the Note
into the number (rounded to the nearest whole) of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Qualified Stock equal to a fraction (A)
the numerator of which is the Principal Amount of the Note (or such
lesser amount as is being converted) and (B) the denominator of
which is ninety percent (90%) of the per share purchase price of
the Qualified Stock issued in the Qualified Equity
Financing.
(b)
Conversion in absence of Qualified Equity Financing
. In the event the Company does not consummate a
Qualified Equity Financing from and after August 1, 2009 and prior
to the second business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date,
then the Holder shall have the option, but shall not be required,
to convert all or a portion of the Note into that number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction
(A) the numerator of which is the Principal Amount of the Note (or
such lesser amount as is being converted ) and (B) the denominator
of which is 50% of the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of
the Common Stock on the five (5) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the third business day prior to the Maturity
Date.
(c)
Mechanics of Conversion . As a condition to
effecting the conversion set forth in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b)
above, the Holder shall properly complete and deliver to the
Company a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto
as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Conversion
”), which notice must be received by the Company at least one
(1) business day prior to the Maturity Date. Upon timely
delivery to the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower
shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business
days after the Maturity Date (such third day being the “
Delivery Date ”) that number of shares of
Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance
herewith.
(d)
Adjustment . The 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 the Borrower at
any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all
or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this
Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued
interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right
to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and
property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of
such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with
respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase
right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly
apply to successive 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 consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
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.
(e)
Notice of Adjustment . Upon the occurrence of an
event specified in Section 2.1(d), the Borrower shall promptly mail
to the Holder a notice setting forth the adjustment and setting
forth a statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
