6.3          Other Indemnification Arrangements.

(a)          Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VI, no Indemnitor shall be liable under this Article VI or otherwise for a breach of representation or warranty unless the Indemnitee gives notice of a claim against such Indemnitor giving reasonable details of the claim and the events which gave rise to the claim and, if practicable, the Indemnitee’s genuine pre-estimate of the amount of the claim not later than 12 months (the “Claims Period”) after the Closing Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, claims asserted in writing before such date shall be deemed timely made regardless of whether litigation or arbitration proceedings are commenced by such date)  and proceedings in respect of any claim so notified are commenced (by the issue and service of a claim form) within six months of such notification if the claim is not settled within such six month period.  Such limitation shall not apply to Indemnifiable Claims arising out of an inaccuracy of a statement, or a breach of warranty, as applicable, set forth in Section 3.24, which shall survive the Claims Period without limitation.

(b)          Indemnitee agrees to give to the Indemnitor prompt written notice of any claim with respect to which it may be entitled to indemnity or damages hereunder (but the obligations of Indemnitor under this Article 6.3 or otherwise shall not be impaired by failure to give such notice except to the extent said failure actually causes Losses to, or prejudices the rights of Indemnitor). Indemnitor shall have the right to (and shall upon the request of Indemnitee) assume, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, the defense of any such claim brought by a third party. After Indemnitor’s written confirmation of the assumption of the defense of any such claim and its obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee in respect thereof Indemnitor shall not be responsible for the legal fees and expenses of counsel independently retained by Indemnitee during the continuance of such assumption (but shall be liable for any such fees and expenses other than during the continuance of such assumption).  Indemnitor may effect any settlement, adjustment or other compromise (collectively, “Settlement”) of any such claim without the consent of Indemnitee if Indemnitor has paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, the amount of such Settlement at the time thereof and obtained a complete release respecting any such claims against the Indemnitee, as applicable, provided that before entering into any Settlement that involves any remedy other than the payment of money by Indemnitor, Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,  denied or delayed.  Indemnitee may, at its election, employ counsel at its own expense in connection with the handling of any such claim. Indemnitee shall have the right to enter into any Settlement of any such claim provided Indemnitee shall not be entitled to any indemnification or damages hereunder in connection with the payment of any amounts pursuant to any Settlement agreed to by it unless such Settlement is consented to in writing by Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or Settlement of any claim of a third party.

 

 

(c)          The Indemnitee shall not be entitled to claim more than once in respect of the same loss or damage.  The Indemnitee shall not have any claim under this Agreement in respect of any matter to the extent that the facts which might result in a claim or possible claim were fairly disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement or the other documents referred to in this Agreement.

(d)          No Indemnitor shall have a liability for a claim under this Agreement unless and until such claim reaches final determination, which means:

(i)          the relevant Indemnitor(s) and the Indemnitee agreeing a settlement in respect of the relevant claim or it being otherwise satisfied; or

(ii)         an order or a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction being given in proceedings in respect of a relevant claim and such order or decree being final and not or no longer appealable.

(e)          If any claim under this Agreement is based upon a liability that is contingent only an Indemnitor shall not be liable to make any payment to an Indemnitee, unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is discharged and in the case of a claim under the warranties set out in Section 3 loss is proven.

(f)          Where an Indemnitee is at any time entitled to recover from some other Person any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to a claim under this Agreement the Indemnitee shall undertake all reasonable steps to enforce such recovery prior to taking any actions (other than notifying the Indemnitor of the claim) against an Indemnitor and in the event that an Indemnitee or MTIX shall recover any amount from such other Person the amount of the claim against an Indemnitor shall be reduced by the amount recovered less the reasonable costs incurred by the Indemnitee or MTIX in recovering that sum from such other person.

(g)          If an Indemnitor makes any payment to an Indemnitee in relation to any claim under this Agreement and the Indemnitee or MTIX subsequently receives from a third party any amount referable to, or any benefit which would not have been received but for the circumstances giving rise to, the subject matter of that claim, the Indemnitee shall, once it or MTIX has received such amount or benefit, immediately repay or procure the repayment to the Indemnitor of either:

(i)          the amount of such receipt (after deducting an amount equal to the reasonable costs of the Indemnitee or MTIX incurred in recovering such receipt and any taxation payable on it); or if lesser,

(ii)         the amount paid in respect of such claim by the Indemnitor together with any interest or repayment supplement paid to the Indemnitee or MTIX in respect of it.

(h)          Nothing in this Section shall in any way affect or prejudice the Indemnitee’s common law duty to mitigate its loss.

(i)           AIC shall not be entitled to claim in respect of any matter provided for in the MTIX Financial Statements.

(j)           The MTIX Shareholders shall not be entitled to claim in respect of any matters provided for in the AIC Financial Statements.

6.4          Maximum Liability.  The aggregate liability of the Indemnitor in respect of all claims under this Agreement will not exceed an amount equal to the consideration received by that Indemnitor under this Agreement.  The only remedy of the Indemnitee against the Majority Shareholder shall be set-off against the Notes and the shares of AIC Class B Preferred Stock held by the Majority Shareholder or the value of his AIC Common Stock at the time of Settlement of the claim, including any proceeds derived from his sale of such shares.  The only remedy of the Indemnitee against each of the Minority Shareholders shall be set-off against the Note held by the respective Minority Shareholder or the value of his respective shares of AIC Common Stock at the time of the claim by AIC, including any proceeds derived from his sale of such shares.

(b)           Interest Calculations. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the outstanding principal, has been made.

Section 3.              Registration of Transfers, Exchanges, Set-off.

 

(a)           Different Denominations.

Section 4.            Conversion.

 

(a)          Voluntary Conversion.  At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Corporation a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, 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. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Corporation unless the entire principal amount of this Note 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 Corporation shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Corporation may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within two (2) Business Days of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Corporation 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)          Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, beginning on the Commencement Date, the Corporation may, within 5 Trading Days thereof deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to the Holder, the “Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”) to cause the Holder to convert all or part of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing to the Holder under this Note (“Mandatory Conversion”), it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 4 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).  Any Mandatory Conversion will be done on a pro rata basis on all Notes then outstanding.  The Corporation may not deliver a Mandatory Conversion Notice, and any Mandatory Conversion Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions are met (unless waived in writing by the applicable Holder) during 20 of the 30 Trading Days preceding Commencement Date; further, the Corporation may only issue a Mandatory Conversion Notice to any one Holder to the extent that such Holder’s beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would not exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Mandatory Conversion.  Any Mandatory Conversion shall, subject to the preceding sentence, be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial acquisitions of Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against the Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount mandatorily converted hereunder if only a portion of this Note is mandatorily converted.

 

 

(c)          Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to either (i) if the aggregate market capital of the Corporation on the Conversion Date (the “Market Cap”) is $35,000,000 or less, at a 25% discount to the Market Price, or (ii) if the Market Cap is greater than $35,000,000, at a 25% discount to the Market Price, provided that such discount shall be increased by dividing it by the quotient that shall be obtained by dividing $35,0000,000 by the Market Cap at the time of conversion, provided, however, any increase in the discount to the Market Price shall not result in a discount that is greater than a 75%  discount (the “Conversion Price”). For purposes hereof, the term “Market Price” shall mean the average trading price of the Common Stock as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(d) below).

 

(d)          Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)           Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of the principal amount of this Note shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

(ii)          Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than ten (10) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest.  On or after the later of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 4(c) electronically through The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

 

(iii)          Corporation’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Corporation shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder within ten (10) Trading Days after the Corporation’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register or to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Corporation shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such tenth (10^th) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Corporation could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 4(c)(ii) and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Corporation, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Corporation’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iii) or otherwise. The Holder agrees, however, that the maximum aggregate damages payable to a Holder hereunder for a Conversion Failure shall be 2% of the amount determined pursuant to the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In addition to the foregoing, if within ten (10) Trading Days after the Corporation’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), the Corporation shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such tenth (10^th) Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Corporation’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

 

(iv)          Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action the Corporation may have against the Holder. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

        (v)          Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than 125% of such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).

 

(vi)         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 the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall round up such fractional share to the next whole share.

 

(vii)        Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common 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 Corporation 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 so converted and the Corporation 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 Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

 

(e)          Holder’s Conversion Limitations. Except with respect to a Mandatory Conversion, as set forth above, the Corporation shall not effectuate any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii)  conversion of the unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation, which are subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Class B Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder, provided, however, that a Holder may, at any time, by written notice to the Corporation, waive the preceding provisions of this paragraph, but any such waiver will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, nor will any such waiver affect any other Holder. The rights and obligations of the Holders are several and not joint and that no action taken by a Holder pursuant to the Notes shall be deemed to create a group or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert.  The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(f)            Issuance Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the shares of Common Stock shall be traded on a national securities exchange and the Corporation has not obtained Shareholder Approval, then the Corporation may not issue, upon conversion of either the principal amount of, or Interest thereon, this Note, a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued on or after the Original Issue Date and prior to such Conversion Date (i) in connection with the conversion of any Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and (ii) in connection with the conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock, would exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Original Issue Date (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and the like) (such number of shares, the “Issuable Maximum”). Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the original principal amount of the Holder’s Note by (y) the aggregate original principal amount of all Notes issued on the Original Issue Date to all Holders. In addition, each Holder may allocate its pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum among Notes and shares of Class B Preferred Stock held by it in its sole discretion. Such portion shall be adjusted upward ratably in the event a Holder no longer holds any Notes or shares of Class B Preferred Stock and the amount of shares issued to the Holder pursuant to the Holder’s Notes and shares of Class B Preferred Stock was less than the Holder’s pro-rata share of the Issuable Maximum.  The Corporation will use best efforts to obtain Shareholder Approval and the Holder understands and agrees that shares of Common Stock issued to and then held by the Holder as a result of conversions of Notes shall not be entitled to cast votes on any resolution to obtain Shareholder Approval pursuant hereto.

(g)          Floor Price.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no adjustment made in accordance with this Section 4 shall cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.35 (the “Floor Price”).

 

 

Section 5.            Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of the Notes or upon the exercise of any options or warrants), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately 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.

 

(b)          Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share Exchange Agreement or other business combination) (each 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 (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) on the conversion of this Note). 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 Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation 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 Common 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. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b).  Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

 

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

 

(d)          Notice to the Holder.

 

 

(i)           Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii)          Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (D) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation, the Corporation shall not be required to provide such notice until such time as it makes public disclosure of such event, at which point it shall simultaneously with its public disclosure, provide notice to the Holder. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 6.             Corporation Representations and Affirmative Covenants

(a)          Prior to the Closing Date, the Corporation will not be in violation of the listing requirements of the Over-the-Counter Quotations Bureau (the “OTCQB”) and does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTCQB in the foreseeable future, nor are the Corporation’s securities “chilled” by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Corporation and its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

(b)          No officer or director of the Corporation would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act as amended on the basis of being a "bad actor" as that term is established in the September 19, 2013 Small Entity Compliance Guide published by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

(c)          The Corporation represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Corporation has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer.

(d)          prepay any Indebtedness, other than the Notes if on a pro-rata basis.

 

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 this Note or (B) 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 is not cured within 90 days;

(ii)          the entry by a court of (i) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document in respect of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of a voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document adjudging the Corporation or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Corporation or any Subsidiary under any applicable federal, state or foreign law or (iii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree, order, judgment or other similar document or any such other decree, order, judgment or other similar document unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60)  consecutive days;

 

(iii)          the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on the Trading Market for a period of five (5) consecutive days, which default is not cured within 90 days, provided, however, that if such suspension or cessation of trading occurs as a result of any action taken by the Commission, then the cure period shall be 180 days;

 

(iv)          The Corporation shall not be “current” in its filings with the Commission, which default is not cured within 90 days; or

 

(v)          any Event of Default contained in the Security Agreement.

 

(b)          Cross default.  The Company’s obligations under the terms of this Note, the other Transaction Documents and all documents executed in connection herewith and/or therewith shall be cross-defaulted with all financing and other obligations of the Company that are senior to the Note, so that a default under any senior financing accommodations extended by any lender, shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

 

 

(c)          Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus any Late Fees and liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the election of Holders of fifty-one percent (51%) of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount.  Such amounts shall become immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount at the election of the Holder.  Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 12% per annum or 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 Corporation.  In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Corporation 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 the election of Holders of fifty-one percent (51%) of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes.  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(c).  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

(d)          Class B Preferred Stock.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the subsequent payment of the Mandatory Default Amount, each share of Class B Preferred Stock shall immediately be cancelled and be of no further force or effect. In addition, in the event that such Event of Default shall occur prior to the date that shall be two (2) years from the Closing Date and results in the foreclosure of the Intellectual Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), then (i) if any portion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall have been converted into Conversion Shares, then such Conversion Shares shall immediately be cancelled and be of no further force or effect, or (ii) if any Conversion Shares shall have been sold, then the Majority Shareholder shall within two (2) days return to the Corporation all proceeds derived from such sale.

 

Section 9.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at the address set forth above, or such other facsimile number or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holder delivered in accordance with this Section 9(a). Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile number or address appears on the books of the Corporation, at the principal place of business of such Holder, as set forth in the Exchange Agreement. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii)  the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

 

(b)          Absolute Obligation.

This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Corporation. This Note ranks pari passu with all other Notes now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth herein.

 

(c)          Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

 

 

(d)          Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York 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 any of the Transaction Documents), 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 New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(e)           Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Corporation or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Corporation or the Holder must be in writing.

 

(f)          Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

(g)          Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(h)          Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(i)           Secured Obligation.

In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the, Conversion Price, the Corporation or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Corporation or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Corporation are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to the Corporation or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Corporation shall, within two (2) Business Days, submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Corporation and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price to an independent, outside accountant selected by the Corporation.

Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
