(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

 

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (x) portion of the Principal to be converted with respect to which this determination is being made and (y) all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such portion of the Principal amount including any accrued and unpaid Late Charges as provided in Section 2(b) with respect to such portion of such Principal and such Interest, if any.

 

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, except as otherwise provided in this Note, as of any Conversion Date, the lesser of (a) $0.2437 or (b) 75% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the seven consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice (clause (b), the “Market Price”), provided, however, that subject to the automatic adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii), the Conversion Price shall not be less than 75% of the VWAP on the Closing Date (the “Floor Price”) and provided that if while the Note is outstanding and the daily VWAP on any of seven consecutive Trading Days is less than the applicable Floor Price, such Floor Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to 75% of the VWAP on the seventh Trading Day, with all prices subject in each case to equitable adjustments resulting from any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent regarding conversions such that the transfer agent shall be authorized and instructed to issue shares of Common Stock upon its receipt of a Conversion Notice without further approval or authorization from the Company.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver to the Company (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 4:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”). On or before the second Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. Prior to 2:00 pm New York, New York time on the Trading Day which is the last day of the Standard Settlement Period (such time, the , “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, after the effective date of a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note and prior to the Holder’s receipt of a notice that such registration statement is not available with respect thereto, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular registration statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.

 

(ii) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Common Stock 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 Common Stock; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Common Stock or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion.

(iii) The Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) 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 Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% increasing to 2% per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, 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 Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(iii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two Trading Days after receipt of 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 or markups and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, 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 to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, 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 (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(iv) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of the Holder of the Note and the principal amount of the Note. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holder or holders of the Note shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of the Note by the holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 17, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Note within two Trading Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) 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 conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two Trading Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder and any holders of Options or other Convertible Securities for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes, Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall first convert the entire Conversion Amount submitted for conversion on such date by the Holder, and shall thereafter convert from each holder of Options or other Convertible Securities electing to have Options or other Convertible Securities converted on such date (other than the Notes) a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for conversion based on the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise (or conversion) of all Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for conversion on such date (not including the Notes).

 

(d) Limitations on Conversions. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of the Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”). (For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and all other convertible securities with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of the Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Notice of Conversion from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Notice of Conversion would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Company must notify the Holder of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Notice of Conversion. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail 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 Company, including such Note, by the Holder since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of such portion of the Note results in the Holder being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13b-3 thereunder), the number of shares of Common Stock so issued by which the Holder’s beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote, sell, or to transfer the Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert the Note pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3(d) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct any portion of this Section 3(d) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be of no further force or effect if the Holder participates in a subsequent transaction with the Company and acquires Common Stock and/or securities convertible into Common Stock which do not contain a beneficial ownership limitation. In such event, the Maximum Percentage limitation shall be (i) deemed modified to be identical to any limitation on beneficial ownership contained in the subsequent transaction or (ii) eliminated if there is no such limitation on beneficial ownership.

(e) Alternate Conversion.

 

(i) General. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during any Event of Default Prepayment Right Period (as defined below) (in the situation where the Event of Default has not been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date (as defined below) or if the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Prepayment Notice to the Company), the Holder may, at the Holder’s sole discretion, convert (each, an “Alternate Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Conversion, each, an “Alternate Conversion Date”) all, or any part of, in one or several times, the entire Conversion Amount under the outstanding amount of the Note (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Conversion, the “Alternate Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3(e)(ii) below. For the avoidance of doubt, during any Event of Default Prepayment Right Period, the Holder may, in lieu of a conversion pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, voluntarily convert all, or any part of, the entire Conversion Amount, and shall not be limited with respect to the number of times the Holder may convert the Conversion Amount or value of the Conversion Amount so converted.

 

(ii) Mechanics of Default Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, the Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(b) (with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and, with the “Event of Default Prepayment Price” replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of the definition of Conversion Rate above with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3(e)(ii) of this Note that the Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(e)(ii), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount to the Holder, such Alternate Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(b) without regard to this Section 3(e).

 

4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(b) Notice of an Event of Default; Prepayment Right. Upon learning of an Event of Default with respect to this Note, the Company shall within two Trading Days deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. If any Event of Default occurs, upon written demand by the Holder, this Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 110% (plus an additional 2% per each additional Event of Default that occurs hereunder) (the “Events of Default Premium”) multiplied by the then outstanding entire balance of this Note (including Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest) plus Late Charges from the date of the Event of Default, if any, plus any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) in addition to this Section 4(b) (collectively, in the aggregate of all of the above, the “Default Amount”), and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, of collection, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Upon the payment in full of the 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 4(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

 

(a) Repay or Convert. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder will convert this Note or accept prepayment as provided for herein. In the event this Note is not converted or prepayment is not accepted, the Company will have no further liability to Holder under this Note.

 

(b) Notice of a Change of Control; Prepayment Right. No sooner than 20 Trading Days nor later than 10 Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of 20 Trading Days after (A) consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice, the Holder may require the Company to prepay all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Change of Control Prepayment Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Prepayment Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to prepay. The portion of this Note subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be prepaid by the Company in cash at a price equal to the product of (w) the Change of Control Prepayment Premium multiplied by (y) the Conversion Amount being prepaid (the “Change of Control Prepayment Price”). Prepayments required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent prepayments required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such prepayments shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), but subject to Section 5(a), until the Change of Control Prepayment Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for prepayment under this Section 5(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of the Company’s prepayment of any portion of this Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any prepayment premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

6. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), that is not an Exempt Issuance, then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or prepayment of this Note.

7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

 

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “Dilutive Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to the lower of (i) an amount equal to the Dilutive Issuance Price, or (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day following the first public disclosure of the Dilutive Issuance. For the purposes of this Section 7(a), the next Trading Day if an announcement is made before 4:00 pm New York, NY time is either the day of the announcement or the following Trading Day. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and the Dilutive Issuance Price under this Section 7(a)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share, excluding any transactions involving an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

14

 

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

 

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 7(b) below), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such decreased purchase price, additional consideration or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

(iv) Issuances of Units. In case any Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options or Convertible Securities (except for indebtedness) will be deemed to have been issued for the par value of the Common Stock and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the par value. Any indebtedness shall be valued at the principal less any original issue discount. If multiple shares of Common Stock are contained in a unit, the aggregate consideration shall be divided by the number of shares of Common Stock in a unit. If any shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the VWAP of such public traded securities on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.

 

15

 

 

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 7, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 7(a), if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by any reverse stock split, or stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(c) The Holder’s Right of Adjusted Conversion Price. In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section 7, if the Company breaches the prohibition in the SPA and issues or agrees to issue Variable Priced Equity Instruments, the Company shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile or email and overnight courier to the Holder on the date of such agreement and the issuance of such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Equity Instruments, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the variable price for the Conversion Price upon conversion of this Note by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered upon any conversion of this Note that solely for purposes of such conversion the Holder is relying on the variable price rather than the Conversion Price then in effect. The Holder’s election to rely on a variable price for a particular conversion of this Note shall not obligate the Holder to rely on a variable price for any future conversion of this Note.

 

16

 

 

(d) Stock Combination Event Adjustments. If at any time and from time-to- time on or after the Issuance Date there occurs any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reverse split, recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Stock (each, a “Stock Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “Stock Combination Event Date”) and the Event Market Price is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 7(b) above), then the Conversion Price shall be equal to the Event Market Price.

 

(e) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(e) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

 

(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(g) Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Conversion Price of the Note to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

17

 

 

8. PREPAYMENT.

 

(a) Prepayment by the Company. At any time after the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Principal then outstanding under this Note, together with all Interest and Late Charges as set forth in Section 2(b) (each, a “Company Optional Prepayment Amount”) on the Company Optional Prepayment Date (as defined below) (a “Company Optional Prepayment”) in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Prepayment Price”) equal to 110% of the Principal, Interest and Late Charges being prepaid. The Company may exercise its right to prepay the Note under this Section 8(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (the “Company Optional Prepayment Notice” and the date the Holder receives such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Prepayment Notice Date”). Each Company Optional Prepayment Notice delivered by the Company to the Holder shall be irrevocable. Each Company Optional Prepayment Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Prepayment shall occur (the “Company Optional Prepayment Date”) which date shall not be less than 15 Trading Days and not more than 30 Trading Days following the Company Optional Prepayment Notice Date; (y) state the aggregate Principal of the Note which is being prepaid in such Company Optional Prepayment pursuant to this Section 8(a) on the Company Optional Prepayment Date; and (z) state the aggregate Interest and Late Charges of the Note which is being prepaid in such Company Optional Prepayment pursuant to this Section 8(a) on the Company Optional Prepayment Date. Upon receipt of a Company Optional Prepayment Notice, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the Principal then remaining under this Note in accordance with Section 3 hereof prior to the Company Optional Prepayment Date. To the extent the amount converted by the Holder reduces the Company Optional Prepayment Amount required to be prepaid by the Company on the Company Optional Prepayment Date, the Company Optional Prepayment Amount shall be reduced accordingly. Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 11. In the event of the Company’s prepayment of this Note under this Section 8(a), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any prepayment premium due under this Section 8(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Prepayment if any Event of Default has occurred and continuing unless the Events of Default Premium is paid in lieu of the 110% premium, but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion. The Company shall give notice of any prepayment on Exhibit III, attached hereto.

 

(b) Equal Treatment of the Notes. Any prepayment by the Company under Section 8(a) shall require the Company to treat all Holders of the Notes issued on the Issuance Date in a similar manner on a pro rata basis based on the Principal of all outstanding Notes.

 

(c) [Reserved].

 

9. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or other charter documents, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

 

18

 

 

10. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

 

(a) Reservation. So long as the Note remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock at least 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents upon: (i) conversion of the then outstanding Principal amount of the Note and the accrued and unpaid Interest (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Note is convertible at the Floor Price, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii), (y) Interest on the Note shall accrue through the 12-month anniversary of the Issuance Date and will be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the Floor Price (assuming an Alternate Conversion Date as of such date of determination) or (B) 82.5% of the lowest daily VWAP after the Issuance Date, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii), and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note set forth in the Note); and (ii) the exercise of the Warrants (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

 

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 10(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while this Note remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance as provided in Section 10(a) at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders (or obtain approval by written consent) for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall comply with the Exchange Act and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the prepayment of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such payment under this Section 10(b); and (ii) to the extent 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 Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions, mark ups and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith.

 

19

 

 

11. PREPAYMENTS MECHANICS.

 

(a) Reserved.

 

(b) If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Prepayment Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Prepayment Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise.

 

(c) The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Prepayment Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Prepayment Date.

 

12. MOST FAVORED NATIONS. Except for Exempt Issuances, from the Issuance Date until such time as no portion of the Note is outstanding, in the event that the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock, any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder of such securities to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any preferred stock, convertible debt, rights, options, warrants, or other debt or equity instrument that is at any time convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder to receive Common Stock, the Company shall provide notice to the Holder of such issuance and, if the Holder reasonably believes that any of the terms and conditions are more favorable to such investors than the terms and conditions of this Note, upon notice to the Company, the Company shall within one Trading Day amend the terms of this Note to give the Holder the benefit of the more favorable terms and conditions. The Holder shall be entitled to rely upon the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in any agreement containing the more favorable terms and conditions.

 

13. COVENANTS. Until all of the Note has been converted, prepaid or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms:

 

(a) Rank. All payments due under this Note shall rank senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except for Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Note.

 

(b) Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note, other Notes issuable under the SPA, and (ii) other Permitted Indebtedness).

 

(c) Existence of Liens. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, deed of trust, or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Liens”) other than Permitted Liens.
