ARTICLE
I
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND
INTEREST
A.
Payment of Principal
. On each Monthly Installment Date,
commencing on July 13, 2007, the Borrower shall pay to the
Holder an amount equal to the Principal Installment Amount due on
such Monthly Installment Date in cash or, provided there has been
no Stock Payment Conditions Failure, in shares of Common Stock (or
any combination of the foregoing), in accordance with the
provisions of Article III. On the Scheduled Maturity Date, the
Holder shall surrender the Note to the Borrower and the Borrower
shall pay to the Holder, an amount in cash, representing all
outstanding Principal and the accrued and unpaid Interest
thereon.
B.
Payment of Interest
. Interest shall accrue at the
Interest Rate on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the
Issuance Date until the same is paid, whether at maturity, or upon
prepayment, repayment, conversion or otherwise. Interest shall be
calculated based on a 365 day year and shall be payable quarterly
in arrears on each Quarterly Installment Date, commencing on
June 13, 2007, except that the first payment shall be in
respect of interest accrued from the Issuance Date to June 13,
2007, and on the Scheduled Maturity Date (each an “
Interest Payment Date ”). On each Quarterly
Installment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder an amount
equal to the Interest Installment Amount due on such Quarterly
Installment Date in cash or, provided there has been no Stock
Payment Conditions Failure, in shares of Common Stock (or any
combination of the foregoing), in accordance with the provisions of
Article III. On the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Holder shall
surrender the Note to the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay to
the Holder, an amount in cash, representing all outstanding
Principal and the accrued and unpaid Interest thereon. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Interest Rate shall be increased to twenty-four percent (24.0%)
(the “ Default Rate ”). In the event
that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment
referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective
as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as
calculated at such increased rate during the continuance of such
Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to
the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and
including the date of cure of such Event of Default. Interest on
overdue interest shall accrue at the same rate compounded
quarterly.
C.
Prepayment
. The Borrower may at any time and
from time to time upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior
written notice to the Holder prepay the outstanding principal
amount
of the Series B
Notes in cash in whole or in part, without premium or penalty,
except as provided in the next sentence. Any such prepayment shall
be accompanied by payment in cash of a premium equal to twenty-five
percent (25.0%) of the principal amount of such prepayment plus all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon. A Change of Control, as
defined herein, shall automatically trigger prepayment in full of
the Series B Notes and the payment of the required prepayment
premium, without the need for any prior notice by Borrower pursuant
to this Article I.C. The Borrower shall not prepay the outstanding
Series B Notes except contemporaneously with prepayment of the
outstanding Series A Notes and if any such prepayment is made, the
Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Series A Notes and Series B
Notes of each Holder and each holder of a Series A Note pro
rata , based on the total amounts due on the Series A Notes
and Series B Notes at the time of prepayment, and any such
prepayment among all outstanding Series A Notes and Series B Notes
shall be in a minimum amount equal to $500,000 and in incremental
amounts equal to $100,000 in excess of such minimum amount. If
Borrower, after giving notice of prepayment, fails to effect the
prepayment in accordance with the terms of the notice (or within
three (3) trading days after the date for prepayment), then Holder
shall be entitled to exercise all remedies of Holder and the
Borrower shall thereafter be prohibited from making any prepayment
of the Note under this Article I.C.
D.
Manner of Payments
. All cash payments of principal
and interest shall be made in, and all references herein to
monetary denominations shall refer to, lawful money of the United
States of America. All cash payments shall be made at such address
as the Holder shall have given or shall hereafter give to the
Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions
of this Note. All payments of this Note in shares of Common Stock
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Article III. If any payment to be made hereunder shall be due
on a day other than a business day, such payment shall be made on
the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall
be included in computing interest in connection with such
payment.
ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
A.
Conversion at the Option of the
Holder . Subject to the
limitations on conversions contained in Article IX, the Holder
may, at any time and from time to time (including without
limitation after receipt of notice of prepayment from Borrower
under Article I.C hereof), convert (an “ Optional
Conversion ”) all or any portion of the unpaid
principal amount hereof and, to the extent requested in writing by
the Holder, any accrued interest thereon into such number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of principal and
interest, if any, being so converted by (y) the Conversion
Price then in effect (the “ Optional Conversion
Shares ”); provided that the Conversion Price may
not be below $0.63 until after the Borrower’s stockholders
have approved the stockholder proposal referred to in clause (i) of
the last sentence of Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
B.
Mechanics of
Conversion . In order to
effect an Optional Conversion, the Holder shall: (x) fax (or
otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Optional
Conversion to the Borrower (Attention: Secretary) and
(y) surrender or cause to be surrendered this Note, duly
endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Optional Conversion as
soon as practicable
thereafter to
the Borrower. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a facsimile copy of a
Notice of Optional Conversion and the original Note, duly endorsed
(or if this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed the
documentation required by Article XII.B hereof) from the Holder,
the Borrower shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to
the Holder stating that the Notice of Optional Conversion has been
received, the date upon which the Borrower expects to deliver the
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and
telephone number of a contact person at the Borrower regarding the
conversion.
(i)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon
Conversion. Upon the
surrender of this Note (or if this Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed the documentation required by Article XII.B hereof)
accompanied by a Notice of Optional Conversion, the Borrower
(itself, or through its transfer agent) shall, no later than the
third (3 rd )business day following such surrender (the
“ Delivery Period ”), issue and
deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
courier service postage prepaid) to the Holder or its nominee stock
certificates evidencing (x) that number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of that portion of this Note being
converted and (y) a new Note representing the principal
balance of this Note not being converted, if any. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Borrower’s transfer agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company (“
DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer
program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a
legend (pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement)
and the holder thereof is not then required to return such
certificate for the placement of a legend thereon (pursuant to the
terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Borrower shall
cause its transfer agent to promptly electronically transmit the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting
the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“ DTC
Transfer ”). If the aforementioned conditions to a
DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Borrower shall deliver as
provided above to the Holder physical certificates representing the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, the Holder may
instruct the Borrower to deliver to the Holder physical
certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC
Transfer.
(ii)
Taxes . The Borrower shall pay any and all taxes that
may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of
the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this
Note.
(iii)
No Fractional Shares.
If any conversion of this Note would
result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock
(aggregating the entire amount of principal and interest being
converted pursuant to a given Notice of Optional Conversion), such
fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the Closing
Sales Price of the Common Stock at such time, and the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall
be the next lower whole number of shares. If the Borrower elects
not to, or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the Holder shall
be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share,
one whole share of Common Stock.
(iv)
Conversion Disputes
. In the case of any dispute with
respect to a conversion, the Borrower shall promptly issue such
number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in accordance
with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute involves the
calculation of the Conversion Price, and such dispute is not
promptly resolved by discussion between the
Majority
Holders and the Borrower, the Borrower shall submit the disputed
calculations to an independent outside accountant (which accountant
shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Majority Holders
via facsimile within three (3) business days of receipt of the
Notice of Optional Conversion. The accountant, at the
Borrower’s sole expense, shall promptly audit the
calculations and notify the Borrower and the Holders of the results
no later than three (3) business days from the date it receives the
disputed calculations. The accountant’s calculation shall be
deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall then
issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in
accordance with subparagraph (i) above.
(v)
Payment of Accrued
Amounts . Upon conversion
of any unpaid principal amount of this Note, if the Holder has not
elected to convert all of the accrued interest thereon, then all
accrued but unconverted interest on such amount through and
including the Conversion Date shall be paid on the Conversion Date
in cash by the Borrower.
C.
Optional Conversion
Make-Whole . If, in
connection with any Optional Conversion, the Borrower is unable to
issue at the applicable Conversion Price all the applicable
Optional Conversion Shares that the Borrower is required to issue,
then (A) the Borrower shall deliver to the Holder the maximum
number of Optional Conversion Shares available on the applicable
Conversion Date in accordance with Article II and (B) the
Borrower shall pay to the Holder in cash, on the applicable
Conversion Date, an amount equal to the product of (1) the
number of Optional Conversion Shares that the Borrower is
prohibited from issuing on the applicable Conversion Date and
(2) the greater of (x) the applicable Conversion Price
and (y) the Closing Sales Price on the trading day immediately
preceding the applicable Conversion Date (the “
Optional Conversion Make-Whole
”).
ARTICLE
III
INSTALLMENT CONVERSION OR
REDEMPTION
A.
General . Subject to and in accordance with the terms of
this Article III, on each applicable Installment Date, the
Borrower shall pay to the Holder the Installment Amount as of such
Installment Date by the combination of any of the following:
(i) (A) provided that there has been no Stock Payment
Conditions Failure and (B) provided that prior to the receipt
of stockholder approval referred to in clause (i) of the last
sentence of Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
10-day VWAP is not less than the then effective Conversion Price
(unless waived by the Holder on its behalf), by requiring the
conversion of all or any portion of the applicable Installment
Amount into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
provisions of this Article III (a “ Borrower
Conversion ”), and/or (ii) redeeming for cash
all or any portion of the applicable Installment Amount in
accordance with the provisions of this Article III (a “
Borrower Redemption ”); provided that all of
the outstanding applicable Installment Amount as of each such
Installment Date must be converted or redeemed by the Borrower on
the applicable Installment Date, subject to the provisions of this
Article III. Unless the Borrower Installment Notice (as
defined below) indicates otherwise or if there is a Stock Payment
Conditions Failure, the entire Installment Amount to be paid on
such Installment Date shall be paid through a Borrower Conversion;
provided that in no event may a Borrower Conversion be made at a
Conversion Price below $0.63 until after the Borrower’s
stockholders have approved the stockholder proposal referred to in
clause (i) of the last sentence of
Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a
Holder may elect to defer the receipt of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to a Borrower Conversion with written notice delivered to
the Borrower until the earlier of (i) the Scheduled Maturity
Date or (ii) the date a Registration Statement (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared effective by the
SEC. On or prior to the date which is the twentieth (20th) trading
day prior to each Installment Date (each, an “
Installment Notice Due Date” ), the Borrower
shall deliver written notice (each, a “ Borrower
Installment Notice ”), to the Holder which Borrower
Installment Notice shall state (i) the portion, if any, of the
applicable Installment Amount to be converted pursuant to a
Borrower Conversion (the “ Borrower Conversion
Amount ”), (ii) the portion, if any, of the
applicable Installment Amount which the Borrower elects to redeem
pursuant to a Borrower Redemption (the “ Borrower
Redemption Amount ”), (iii) whether the Holder
elects a deferral of receipt of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Borrower Conversion and (iv) unless the Borrower has
elected to pay the applicable Installment Amount entirely through a
Borrower Redemption, the Borrower Installment Notice shall certify
that the Stock Payment Conditions have been satisfied as of the
date of the Borrower Installment Notice. Each Borrower Installment
Notice whether actually given or deemed given shall be irrevocable,
except as otherwise provided herein. The Borrower may give a
Borrower Installment Notice that is effective with respect to all
subsequent Installment Dates, unless and until modified by a
subsequent Borrower Installment Notice given in accordance with
this Article III.A, provided however, that such standing notice
shall not become an irrevocable Borrower Installment Notice with
respect to any Installment Amount until twenty (20) trading days
prior to the applicable Installment Date. Except as expressly
provided in this Article III.A, the Borrower shall redeem and
convert the applicable Installment Amount of this Note pursuant to
this Article III and the corresponding Installment Amounts of
the Other Series B Notes pursuant to the corresponding provisions
of the Other Series B Notes in the same ratio of the Installment
Amount being redeemed and converted hereunder. The Borrower
Redemption Amount (whether set forth in the Borrower Installment
Notice or by operation of this Article III) shall be redeemed
in accordance with Article III.B and the Borrower Conversion Amount
shall be converted in accordance with Article III.C.
B.
Mechanics of Borrower
Redemption . If the
Borrower elects, or is deemed to have elected, a Borrower
Redemption in accordance with Article III.A, then the Borrower
Redemption Amount, if any, which is to be paid to the Holder on the
applicable Installment Date shall be redeemed by the Borrower on
such Installment Date upon payment by the Borrower to the Holder on
such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, an amount in cash (the “ Borrower Installment
Redemption Price ”) equal to 100% of the Borrower
Redemption Amount. If the Borrower fails to redeem the Borrower
Redemption Amount on the applicable Installment Date by payment of
the Borrower Installment Redemption Price on such date, then at the
option of the Holder designated in writing to the Borrower (any
such designation, a “ Conversion Notice
” for purposes of this Note), the Holder may require the
Borrower to convert all or any part of the Borrower Redemption
Amount at the Effective Conversion Price. Conversions required by
this Article III.B shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Article II.B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article III.B, but subject to Article IX, until the Borrower
Installment Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon)
is paid in full, the Borrower Redemption Amount (together with any
interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the
Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article II. In
the event the Holder elects to convert all or any
portion of the
Borrower Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date
as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower
Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the
Installment Amounts relating to the Installment Dates as set forth
in the applicable Conversion Notice.
C.
Mechanics of Borrower
Conversion .
(i) If the Borrower pays any part of an Installment
Amount pursuant to a Borrower Conversion in accordance with Article
III.A, then on the Installment Date the Borrower shall issue and
deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
courier service postage prepaid) to the Holder or its nominee stock
certificates evidencing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the quotient of (x) the Borrower Conversion Amount divided by
(y) the Effective Conversion Price (the “
Installment Conversion Shares ”), with cash
in lieu of fractional shares (if any) payable to the Holder in
accordance with Article II.B(iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Borrower’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC
Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the
certificates therefor do not bear a legend (pursuant to the terms
of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the holder thereof is not
then required to return such certificate for the placement of a
legend thereon (pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement), the Borrower shall deliver such shares by way of DTC
Transfer. If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are
not satisfied, the Borrower shall deliver as provided above to the
Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion. Further, the Holder may instruct the Borrower to
deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by
way of DTC Transfer.
(ii) If there is a Stock Payment Conditions Failure
with respect to any Borrower Conversion, which failure occurs after
the Borrower Installment Notice with respect to such Borrower
Conversion has become irrevocable, then the Borrower upon written
notice to the Holder not less than five (5) trading days prior to
the applicable Conversion Date shall be entitled to satisfy the
payment of the relevant Installment Amount by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in an amount in cash equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the unconverted Borrower Conversion
Amount on such Installment Date (plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon). If there is a Stock Payment Conditions Failure with
respect to any Borrower Conversion and the Borrower does not timely
notify the Holder of its election to make cash payment in
accordance with the preceding sentence, then at the option of the
Holder designated in writing to the Borrower, the Holder may
require the Borrower to satisfy the payment of the relevant
Installment Amount in one of the following ways or any combination
thereof: (x) the Borrower shall redeem all or any part designated
by the Holder of the unconverted Borrower Conversion Amount (such
designated amount is referred to as the “First
Redemption Amount” ) on such Installment Date, by
paying to the Holder on such Installment Date (or such later date
not more than two (2) trading days after the Holder delivers its
election under this clause (ii)), by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, an amount in cash equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of such First Redemption Amount (plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon), (y) the Borrower Conversion shall be null
and void with respect to all or any part designated by the Holder
of the unconverted Borrower Conversion Amount (other than any
amount redeemed under clause (x) of this Article III.C(ii)) and the
Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a Holder with respect
to such amount of the Borrower Conversion Amount, or
(z) the
Borrower shall deliver the Installment Conversion Shares on the
next scheduled Installment Date or any other mutually agreed upon
date if the Holder so elects pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of
Article XI.T; for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower’s
failure to issue shares of Common Stock on an Installment Date with
respect to any Borrower Conversion Amount due to a Stock Payment
Conditions Failure shall not be deemed an Event of Default
hereunder so long as the Borrower otherwise promptly complies with
the Holder’s written designation with respect to such
Borrower Conversion Amount. If the Borrower fails to redeem any
First Redemption Amount on or before the applicable Installment
Date, by payment of such amount on the applicable Installment Date,
then the Holder shall have the rights set forth in Article VI
as if the Borrower failed to pay the applicable Borrower Redemption
Amount and all other rights under this Note. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article III.C, but subject to
Article IX, until the Borrower delivers shares of Common Stock
representing the Borrower Conversion Amount to the Holder, the
Borrower Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article II. In the event
the Holder elects to convert the Borrower Conversion Amount prior
to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Borrower Conversion Amount so converted
shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the
Installment Dates as set forth in the applicable Conversion
Notice.
D.
Borrower Conversion
Make-Whole . If, in
connection with any Borrower Conversion, the Borrower is unable to
issue at the applicable Effective Conversion Price all the shares
of Common Stock that the Borrower would have been required to
issue, then the Borrower shall pay to the Holder in cash, on the
applicable Installment Date, an amount equal to the product of
(1) the number of Installment Conversion Shares that the
Borrower is prohibited from issuing on the applicable Installment
Date and (2) the greater of (x) the applicable Effective
Conversion Price and (y) the Closing Sales Price on the
trading day immediately preceding the applicable Installment Date
(the “ Borrower Conversion Make-Whole
”).
E.
Increase in Interest Applicable
to Installment Amounts .
In the event that (i) the Borrower shall have held a
stockholder meeting and the stockholders shall have failed to
approve the Stockholder Proposal providing for the issuance of any
shares in payment of the Notes at a price below the Conversion
Floor Price, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and
(ii) the Borrower makes a Borrower Redemption in payment of
any Installment Amounts at a time when the Effective Conversion
Price shall be below the Conversion Price then in effect; then the
Borrower shall, at the time it makes its next quarterly interest
payment in accordance with Article I.B, pay interest on each
installment paid by the Borrower as a Borrower Redemption under
circumstances (i) and (ii) at the rate of seventeen percent (17%)
rather than fifteen percent (15%).
ARTICLE
IV
RESERVATION OF SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK
A.
Reserved Amount
. On or prior to the Issuance Date,
and at all times thereafter until the date of stockholder approval
of the Stockholder Proposals, the Borrower shall reserve such
number of shares of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock for issuance of Optional Conversion Shares and Installment
Conversion Shares pursuant to Articles II and III,
respectively,
of the Series B Notes as is sufficient to provide for the full
conversion of all of the Series B Notes outstanding at the then
current Conversion Price thereof (without giving effect to the
limitations contained in Article IX). On the date of
stockholder approval of the Stockholder Proposals and at all times
thereafter, the Borrower shall reserve such number of shares of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance of
Optional Conversion Shares and Installment Conversion Shares
pursuant to Articles II and III, respectively, of the Series B
Notes as is sufficient to provide for the issuance of all such
Optional Conversion Shares and Installment Conversion Shares
(without giving effect to the limitations contained in
Article IX). The amount of shares of the Borrower’s
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to
this Article IV.A shall be referred to herein as the “
Reserved Amount. ” The Reserved Amount shall
be allocated among the Holders as provided in Article
XII.C.
B.
Increases to Reserved
Amount . If the Reserved
Amount for any three (3) consecutive trading days (the last of such
three (3) trading days being the “ Authorization
Trigger Date ”) shall be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon full conversion of all then outstanding Series B Notes
(without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article IX),
the Borrower shall immediately notify the Holders of such
occurrence and shall take immediate action (including, if
necessary, seeking stockholder approval to authorize the issuance
of additional shares of Common Stock) to increase the Reserved
Amount to one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon full conversion of all then
outstanding Series B Notes at the then current Conversion Price
(without giving effect to the limitations contained in
Article IX). In the event the Borrower fails to so increase
the Reserved Amount within ninety (90) days after an Authorization
Trigger Date, the Holder shall thereafter have the option,
exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time,
by delivery of a Default Notice to the Borrower, to require the
Borrower to prepay in cash, for an amount equal to the Default
Amount (as defined in Article VI.B), that portion of the unpaid
principal amount hereof and accrued interest thereon such that,
after giving effect to such prepayment, the then unissued portion
of the Holder’s Reserved Amount is at least equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Holder. If the
Borrower fails to prepay any portion of this Note as required
hereby within five (5) business days after its receipt of such
Default Notice, then the Holder shall be entitled to the remedies
provided in Article VI.C.
ARTICLE
V
FAILURE TO SATISFY
CONVERSIONS
A.
Conversion Defaults
. If, (i) the Holder at any
time submits a Notice of Optional Conversion and the Borrower fails
for any reason (other than because such issuance would exceed the
Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount, for which
failures the Holders shall have the remedies set forth in
Article IV) to deliver, on or prior to the fifth (5
th ) business day following the expiration of the
Delivery Period for such conversion, such number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion,
or (ii) the Borrower provides written notice to the Holders
(or makes a public announcement via press release) at any time of
its intention not to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by
the Holders of their conversion rights in accordance with the terms
of the Series B Notes (other than because such
issuance would
exceed a Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount),
(each of (i) and (ii) being a “ Conversion
Default ”), then the Holder may elect, at any time
and from time to time prior to the Default Cure Date for such
Conversion Default, by delivery of a Default Notice to the
Borrower, to have all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount
hereof and accrued interest thereto prepaid by the Borrower in
cash, for an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in
Article VI.B). If the Borrower fails to prepay any portion of this
Note as required hereby within five (5) business days after its
receipt of such Default Notice, then the Holder shall be entitled
to the remedies provided in Article VI.C.
B.
Buy-In Cure
. Unless the Borrower has notified
the Holder in writing (or made a written announcement via press
release) prior to the delivery by the Holder of a Notice of
Optional Conversion that the Borrower is unable to honor
conversions, if (i) (a) the Borrower fails to promptly
deliver during the Delivery Period shares of Common Stock to the
Holder upon a conversion of all or any portion of this Note or
(b) there shall occur a Legend Removal Failure (as defined in

purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by the
