Conversion Amount
Conversion Price
14
(b)
Mechanics of Conversion . In order to effect a conversion
pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall: (a) fax (or
otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of
Conversion to the Company and (b) surrender or cause to be
surrendered this Note, duly endorsed, along with a copy of the
Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the
Company. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a
Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Company shall within two
(2) business days send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such
Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received,
advising the Holder of any additional documentation required by the
transfer agent for the Common Stock to issue the Conversion Shares
in the manner provided in the Notice of Conversion (the “
Additional Documentation ”) and the name and telephone
number of a contact person at the Company regarding the conversion.
The Company shall not be obligated to issue Conversion Shares upon
a conversion unless either this Note is delivered to the Company as
provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company that such
certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the
documentation to the Company required by Section 13. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made effective as of the
Conversion Date and the rights of the Holder of the Notes being
converted shall cease as of the Conversion Date except for the
rights to receive Conversion Shares, and the Person entitled to
receive the Conversion Shares shall be treated for all purposes as
having become the record holder of such Conversion Shares at such
time and shall have all the rights and privileges of a holder of
Common Stock with respect to such Conversion Shares.
(c)
Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Upon the
surrender of this Note accompanied by a Notice of Conversion and
any Additional Documentation, the Company shall, no later than the
later of (a) the second Business Day following the Conversion
Date and (b) the third Business Day following the date of such
surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed
certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to
Section 13) (the “ Delivery Period ”),
issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number
of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of
this Note being converted and (y) a new Note in the form
hereof representing the balance of the principal amount hereof not
being converted, if any. If the Company’s transfer agent is
participating in the Depositary Trust Company (“ DTC
”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as
the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder
thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer
agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with
DTC, as specified in the Notice of Conversion, through its DTC
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“ DTC
Transfer ”). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC
Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder
physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares. Further,
the Holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the Holder
physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares in lieu of
delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
(d)
Adjustment to Conversion Price . The Conversion Price in
effect at any time shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
15
(i)
Common Stock Dividends; Common Stock Splits; Reverse Common
Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Note is
outstanding, (A) shall pay a stock dividend on its Common
Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after
such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3(d)(i) 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.
(ii)
Subscription Rights . If the Company, at any time while this
Note is outstanding, shall fix a record date for the distribution
to all of the holders of Common Stock evidence of its indebtedness
or assets or rights, options, warrants or other securities
entitling them to subscribe for, purchase, convert to, exchange for
or to otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to
in Section 3(d)(i) above), then in each such case the
Conversion Price at which this Note shall thereafter be exercisable
shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction,
the denominator of which shall be the average Daily Market Price of
the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the
record date mentioned above, and the numerator of which shall be
such average Daily Market Price of the Common Stock for the ten
(10) Trading Days prior to such record date less the then fair
market value at such record date of the portion of such evidence of
indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other
securities so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of
Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith;
provided , however , that in the event of a
distribution exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the net assets of
the Issuers, such fair market value shall be determined by an
appraiser selected by the Holders of a majority of the principal
amount and interest of the Notes outstanding and reasonably
acceptable to the Company. The Company shall pay for all such
appraisals. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after
the record date mentioned above.
(iii)
Other Events . In case of (A) any reclassification of
the Common Stock into other securities of the Company, (B) any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or property or (C) any
merger or consolidation with or into any persons, or any sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Issuers to any person (each of (A), (B) or (C), an “
Extraordinary Event ”), the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to convert this Note into shares of stock and
other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be
held by holders of Common Stock following such Extraordinary Event,
that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had it
converted this Note immediately prior to such Extraordinary Event
(without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
convertibility of the Notes). In the case of an Extraordinary
Event, the terms of any such Extraordinary Event shall include such
terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive
the securities, cash or property set forth in this
Section 3(d)(iii) upon any conversion following such
Extraordinary Event. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive Extraordinary Events. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing
16
contained in
this clause (iii) shall be construed to impair the
Issuers’ or Holders’ rights under Section 5,
including, without limitation, under Section 5(b).
(iv)
Partial Redemption of Notes Pursuant to Section 5(c) .
Upon the happening of a partial redemption of the Note pursuant to
Section 5(c), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such redemption shall be reduced to the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to
the redemption, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
principal amount of the Note outstanding immediately after the
partial redemption and the denominator of which shall be the
principal amount of the Note immediately prior to the partial
redemption.
(v)
No Impairment . If any event shall occur as to which the
provisions of this Section 3(d) are not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the
conversion rights under the Notes in accordance with the essential
intent and principles of such Section, then, in each such case, the
Conversion Price of the Notes shall be adjusted in such manner as
the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine
to be equitable under the circumstances; provided, however, that no
adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made under this clause
(v) as a result of any bona fide sale of the Company’s
Capital Stock to a third party.
The
Issuers will not, by amendment of their organizational documents or
through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of
assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Note, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder against
dilution of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section
3(d) or other impairment.
(e)
Record Date . In case the Company shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
(i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of
the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making
of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such
right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be,
provided , however , that any such adjustment in the
Conversion Price shall be reversed or shall not become effective,
as applicable, if the Company abandons the action to which the
record date pertains.
(f)
Treasury Shares . The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company or any of its
wholly-owned Subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares
(other than the can
