3
(vi) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion. Lender, upon the request of the Company, shall assist and cooperate with the Company in making any required governmental filings or in obtaining any government approval prior to or in connection with the conversion (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).
(vii) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each issuance).
(viii) If (A) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock (or other securities at the time receivable upon the conversion) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any securities, or to receive any other right or otherwise proposes to make a dividend or distribution; (B) there is proposed any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the equity interests of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity; (C) any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or (D) any redemption or conversion of outstanding shares of Common Stock into any other type of securities then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to Lender a notice in accordance with Section 13 specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock (or at the time receivable upon the conversion) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such written notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the transaction in question and not less than 10 days prior to the record date in respect thereof.
(d) Partial Exercise. Upon conversion, the portion of principal and interest hereunder that has not have been converted shall remain due and payable by the Company according to the terms and conditions set forth Agreement.
6. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from this Agreement shall be used by the Company in any manner determined by the Company.
7. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
4
(a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(i) Stock Splits. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection (i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(ii) Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of the Agreement makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be proportionally decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
(iii) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Agreement are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 7), then, and in any such event, Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Agreement such number and kind of stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of shares deliverable upon conversion of the Agreement would have been entitled on such reclassification or other change, subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(iv) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while the Agreement is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. The Company shall notify Lender in writing, no later than three (3) Business Days following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this subsection (iv), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price.
5
(v) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Lender) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price at the record date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such lesser price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
(vi) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (vi) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and provided, further, that any adjustment required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be made when so required. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward). Anything in this Section 7(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7(a), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision or combination of shares, distribution of capital stock or rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, distribution of evidences of indebtedness or assets or any other transaction which could be treated as any of the foregoing transactions pursuant to Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (and any successor provision), hereafter made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable to such shareholders.
8. Amendment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the prior written consent of Lender.
9. Waiver. The failure of Lender to insist on full compliance with any provision of this Agreement in a particular instance shall not result in a waiver or relinquishment of any right or obligation herein, and shall not preclude Lender from requiring full compliance with any provision of this Agreement thereafter.
