Section 4 .   Conversion .

 

(a)   Conversion at Option of Holder .

 

(i)   This Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 6 ) (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(b) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4(c)(i) ). The Company shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.

 

(ii)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the a Primary Market; or (3) the Company has failed to timely satisfy a conversion; then, at the option of the Holder, the Company, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) , shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted divided by the applicable Conversion Price, and multiplied by the highest Closing Bid Price of the stock from date of the conversion notice till the date that such cash payment is made.

 

Further, if the Company shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of this Note by the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(c) , except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

(iii)   The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “ Conversion Notice ”). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the “ Conversion Date .” Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Note to the Company in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

(b)   Certain Conversion Restrictions .

 

(i)   The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 4(a)(i) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

 

(ii) (RESERVED)

 

(c)   Conversion Price and Adjustments to Conversion Price .

 

(i)   The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.41 per share (the “ Conversion Price ”). In the event that the Company has not raised at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in additional equity capital between the date of the First Closing and the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the First Closing (the “Equity Requirement Date”), the Conversion Price shall automatically become $0.25 per share, effective the first Business Day after the Equity Requirement Date. The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Note.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(iii)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of i
