Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, at any time and from time to time, to convert the outstanding Principal Amount under this Note, in whole or in part, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient as a result of dividing the Principal Amount by the Conversion Price, by delivering to the Company, or directly to Company’s Transfer Agent, a fully executed notice of conversion in the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), which may be transmitted by email.

 

(ii)

The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder and any Payment Date shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” If the Holder is converting less than all of the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder (but no later than five Business Days after the Conversion Date) a Note for such outstanding Principal Amount that has not been converted as if this Note has been surrendered to the Company for partial conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment.

 

(iii)

The Company will deliver to the Holder (or Holder’s authorized designee) not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates which certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 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 or combination. Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to the provision above, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Conversion Price.

 

(ii)

Distributions. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock any indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then concurrently with such distributions to holders of Common Stock, the Company shall distribute to the Holder the amount of such indebtedness, assets, cash or rights or warrants which the Holder would have received had the Note been converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price immediately prior to the record date for such distribution.

(c)

(f)

Cancellation.

(b)

Savings Clause. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt. If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.

(e)

No Waiver.

Each and every right, remedy or power hereby granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder from time to time.
