Section 4.            Conversion.

 

a)          Voluntary Conversion. At any time from the Original Issue Date, until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Attachment A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b)          Early Redemption. The Holder may elect to redeem this Note for Preferred Stock at any time.

 

c)          Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall equal $20.00 per Preferred Share.

 

d)         Conversion Limitation – Holder’s Restriction on Conversion.

 

As of the date of this Note, the Company does not have sufficient shares of common stock to allow for the issuance of, or have sufficient shares to satisfy the conversion privileges of the Preferred Stock. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable it will cause its Articles of Incorporation to be amended to provide for such shares to satisfy the conversion privileges of the Preferred Stock.

 

e)          Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i.              Delivery of Certificate upon Conversion. Not later than ten Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares.

 

ii.             Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Preferred Stock certificates representing the principal amount of this Note unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.

 

iii.            Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Note), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Preferred Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Preferred Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid.

 

iv.           Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

v.            Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Preferred Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 5.           Certain Adjustments.

 

a)          Distributions. The Company may not, at any time while this Note is outstanding, make a distribution of any kind to any class of holders of any class of the Company’s stock other than the Preferred Stock.

 

b)          Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Preferred Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Preferred Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Preferred Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one (1) share of Preferred Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Preferred Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Preferred Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such Note into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 5(e) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

c)          Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to four decimal places or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Preferred Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

Section 6.          Prepayment / Early Redemption. The Company can prepay this Note in full or in part at any time for cash, and must give the Holder Notice, of thirty (30) days, in accordance with Section 9(a) of the Note of intent to redeem for any amount.

 

Section 7.            Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Note remains outstanding, unless the Holder has otherwise given prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries (whether or not a Subsidiary on the Original Issue Date) to, directly or indirectly:

 

a)          amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holder, other than to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized;

 

b)          repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock Equivalents;

 

c)          pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company other than the Preferred Stock; or

 

d)          enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

Section 8.            Events of Default.

 

a)          “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

i.              any default in the payment of (A) the principal amount of any Note or (B) interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing to a Holder on any Note, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise) which default, solely in the case of an interest payment or other default under clause (B) above, is not cured within 3 Trading Days;

 

 4 
 

 

ii.             the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Note (other than a breach by the Company of its obligations to deliver shares of Preferred Stock to the Holder upon conversion, which breach is addressed in clause (xi) below) which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within the earlier to occur of (A) 5 Trading Days after notice of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder and (B) 10 Trading Days after the Company has become or should have become aware of such failure;

 

iii.            a default or event of default (subject to any grace or cure period provided in the applicable agreement, document or instrument) shall occur under this document;

 

iv.            any representation or warranty made in this Note which shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the date of this Note;

 

v.             the Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall be subject to a Bankruptcy Event;

 

b)          Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon the payment in full of the Mandatory Default Amount, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Texas Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this document), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such Texas Courts, or such Texas Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
