Section 3 . Redemptions .
(a)
Company’s Optional Cash
Redemption . The
Company at its option shall have the right to redeem (“
Optional Redemption ”) a portion or all amounts
outstanding under this Note prior to the Maturity Date provided
that as of the date of the Holder’s receipt of a
Redemption Notice (as defined herein) (i) the Closing Bid Price of
the of the Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, LP, is less than
the Conversion Price, (ii) the Underlying Share Registration
Statement is effective, and (iii) no Event of Default has occurred.
The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal amount being
redeemed plus a redemption premium (“ Redemption
Premium ”) equal to twenty percent (20%) of the principal
amount being redeemed, and accrued interest, (collectively referred
to as the “ Redemption Amount ”). In order to
make a redemption, the Company shall first provide written notice
to the Holder of its intention to make a redemption (the “
Redemption Notice ”) setting forth the amount of
principal it desires to redeem. After receipt of the Redemption
Notice the Holder shall have three (3) business days to elect to
convert all or any portion of this Note, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 4(b) . On the fourth (4 th
) business day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the
principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions
effected during the three (3) business day period.
(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.
(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.
(ii) If the Company, at any time while this Note is
outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or
any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares
of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of
shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the
Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before
such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. 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
