ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
RIGHTS
The
Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under
this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share
(“Common Stock”) as set forth below.
2.1. Conversion into the
Borrower's Common Stock.
(a) The
Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note
and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding
and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest, at the election
of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a
“Conversion Date”) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as
such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital
stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or
reclassified, at the Conversion Price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof,
determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a
completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A,
Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within seven (7) business days
after the Conversion Date (such fourth day being the “Delivery Date”) that
number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in
accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the
Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, if any, through
the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery
Date. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Note and accrued but unpaid interest, if
any, to be converted, by the Conversion Price.
(b) Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the initial conversion price
per share shall be equal to $0.005 (“Conversion Price”).
3
(c)
The Conversion Price and 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 (A) the Borrower effects any merger
or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the
Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for
other securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock
purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation,
a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one
or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares
of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or
associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to,
such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any “person”
or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the 1934 Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate
Common Stock of the Borrower, or (F) the Borrower effects any reclassification
of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the
Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest
thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such
number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been
issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or
with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior
to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive Fundamental 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 Fundamental
Transaction.
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.
C. Stock Splits, Combinations
and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a
dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock
dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in
each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
D. Share
Issuance. So long as this Note is outstanding, if the
Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances, prior
to the complete conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration per
share that is less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time
of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue
price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security
or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security
or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to
purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon
the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right,
or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the
then applicable Conversion Price. The reduction of the Conversion
Price described in this paragraph is in addition to the other rights of the
Holder described in the Subscription Agreement. Common Stock issued
or issuable by the Borrower for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to
have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock.
4
(d) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) above, the Borrower
shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(e) During
the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than an amount of Common Stock
equal to 100% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full
conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such
shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall
constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are
charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and
issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion
of this Note.
2.2 Method of
Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole
or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription
Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note
containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of
the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of
this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
2.3. Maximum
Conversion. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a
Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares
of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a
Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the
unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination
of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in
beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion
Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited
to aggregate conversions of 4.99%. The Holder shall have the
authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this
Section 2.3 will limit any 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 Notes are convertible shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. The Holder may waive the
conversion limitation described in this Section 2.3, in whole or in part, upon
and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Borrower to increase
such percentage to up to 9.99%.
