If a fraction of a share would otherwise be issuable on conversion of this Note, the Company will in lieu of such issuance pay the cash value of that fractional share. The Company shall issue certificates evidencing the Conversion shares issuable upon a conversion when this Note is either delivered to the Company, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note has been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with the Note. As soon as practicable after delivery of the Note, or delivery of an agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost Note, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder (a) certificates for the Conversion shares to which the Holders shall be entitled, and (b) an amount equal to the cash amounts payable as a result of any fractional share adjustment of such Conversion shares. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Conversion shares on the Conversion Date.

 

4.3       Obligation Absolute. The Company’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 Company 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 Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion shares; Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default under this Note, pursuant to Section 6 herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to her at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

4.4       Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Note, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable, upon the conversion of the Conversion Amount of the Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issued upon conversion of this Note shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and non-assessable.

 

4.5       Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for Shares of the Common Stock and Warrants on conversion of the Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, 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 the Note so converted, 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. If Conversion shares are to be issued in the name of a person other than the Holder, the Holder will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto and is delivering herewith such certificates and opinions as reasonably requested by the Company in accordance therewith.

4.6.       Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Note Issuance Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of Conversion shares issuable on conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of Conversion shares issuable on conversion of this Note shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

5.       Redemption. If, on the 2nd Anniversary the Note has not been converted into common stock, then the Company may redeem the Note in one of two methods, as elected by the Holder of such Note in their sole discretion:

 

(a) The Company shall redeem the Note by paying Holder the cash amount $2.00 per every one dollar of unconverted note held, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

In the event that the Company is unable to effect such cash redemption as elected by a Holder, then the Company shall issue to the Note Holder (“Holder”) on the date of redemption a senior secured note obligating the Company to pay the redemption amount to Holder on terms not to exceed twelve (12) months at an interest rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum.

 

or

 

(b) If the Company is eligible for Exchange listing and has filed an Exchange Application, the Company shall issue shares of common stock (which must be covered by an effective registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC) to the Holder. The number of shares of common stock for each dollar of unconverted Note shall be calculated as follows:

 

(i) If the average quoted closing bid price, if any, for the preceding 10 trading days with an average trading volume of at least $20,000 a day is $1.00 or more, then the Company shall issue 2 shares of common stock for each $1.00 of unpaid Note principal.

 

(ii) If the fully diluted fair market value of the Common Stock (or average quoted closing bid price, if any, for the preceding 10 trading days with an average trading volume of at least $20,000 a day) is less than $1.00, then by dividing $1.00 by the value (or price) of the common stock by and issuing that number of shares equal to a 2X gain based on the closing bid price (i.e. if the price of the common stock is $0.50, then 4 shares of common stock would be issued; if $0.25, then 8 shares).

 

The Company shall notify Holder of the Redemption Date at least 90 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Holder shall make such election at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date. If the Holder fails to make any election, then the Company may make such election at the Company’s discretion.

However, if the sale price (or participation in the sale) for the fully diluted common stock of the Company is more than $1.00 per share of common stock, then any unconverted Note balance shall convert at a 2:1 ratio into common stock immediately prior to the closing of the sale for a 2x Liquidation Preference for each Note Holder.

 

If the sale price is a combination of cash and securities of the purchaser, then the Holders of Note shall be paid as if converted @ $1.00 in the same ratio of cash to securities as the other Holders of common stock for a 2x Liquidation Preference. If the securities of the purchaser are subject to any restriction (i.e. unregistered or lock-up), the sale transaction shall be subject to a shareholder vote, with Note Holder having a vote equal to the number of shares of common as if converted at $1.00 for a 2x Liquidation Preference.
