Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
On July 19, 2007, pursuant to a Funding Agreement (the “Funding Agreement”), among the Issuer, AirWorks Funding LLLP (“AirWorks”), the Critical Capital Entities and RS Properties I LLC (“RS Properties”, and collectively with AirWorks and the Critical Capital Entities, the “Lenders”), the Issuer issued a $859,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Note due December 31, 2007 (the “Critical Capital Note”) to the Critical Capital Entities, the outstanding principal amount of which is convertible in certain circumstances into an aggregate of up to 306,785,714 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at the initial conversion price of $.0028 per share. On July 19, 2007, the Critical Capital Entities made its advance under the Funding Agreement and the Critical Capital Note in the amount of $859,000. Since the Issuer currently is only authorized to issue 500 million shares of Common Stock and as of May 18, 2007, 242,342,803 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding (according to filings made by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Critical Capital Entities will not be able to convert the entire current outstanding principal amount of the Critical Capital Note, if applicable, until such time as the Issuer increases its authorized share capital to authorize additional shares of Common Stock. As described in Item 4, pursuant to the Lender Voting Agreement and the Letter Agreement, AirWorks and RS Properties have agreed to convert a sufficient principal amount of their respective Notes to secure voting control of the Issuer and will subsequently vote to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s articles of incorporation to increase the authorized share capital of the Issuer to allow the Lenders to convert the entire principal amounts advanced under the Notes into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of funds used for the Critical Capital Note was the working capital of the Critical Capital Entities. None of the funds used in connection with the issuance of the Critical Capital Note were borrowed by the Critical Capital Entities.

 
 

 

CUSIP No. 50105X106


See Item 4 below for more information.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
Funding Agreement and Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, the Lenders agreed to loan the Issuer up to an aggregate of $18,159,000 (the “Loan”), evidenced by a $10,820,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Note due June 19, 2010 to AirWorks (the “AirWorks Note”), Critical Capital Note and a $6,480,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Note due June 19, 2010 to RS Properties (the “RS Note” and together with the AirWorks Note and the Critical Capital Note, the “Notes”). The first installment of the Loan, totaling $4,259,000, was advanced to the Issuer in the following amounts: AirWorks advanced $2,480,000, the Critical Capital Entities advanced $859,000 and RS Properties advanced $920,000. Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, AirWorks may advance up to an additional $8,340,000 under the AirWorks Note and RS Properties may advance up to an additional $5,560,000 under the RS Note, at any time, and from time to time, prior to the maturity date of such notes, in the sole discretion of AirWorks and RS Properties, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, based on the amounts advanced in the first installment of the Loan, (1) the AirWorks Note is convertible into 885,714,285 shares of Common Stock, (2) the Critical Capital Note is convertible into 306,785,714 shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events described below and (3) the RS Note is convertible into 328,571,428 shares of Common Stock, in each case, based on the initial conversion price of the Notes (which is subject to adjustment under certain specified circumstances). Assuming the full amount of the Notes are funded and the entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes is converted, (1) the AirWorks Note will be convertible into up to 3,864,285,714 shares of Common Stock, (2) the Critical Capital Note will be convertible into up to 306,785,714 shares of Common Stock and (3) the RS Note will be convertible into up to 2,314,285,714 shares of Common Stock, in each case, based on the initial conversion price of the Notes (which is subject to adjustment under certain specified circumstances). The AirWorks Note and the RS Note are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, and the Critical Capital Note is only convertible in the event that all principal and accrued interest is not paid in full to the Critical Capital Entities on or prior to the maturity date of the Critical Capital Note. Each of the Notes bear interest, in arrears, at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash with respect to the AirWorks and RS Note commencing on January 1, 2008 and payable in cash with respect to the Critical Capital Note commencing on July 1, 2007. All outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Critical Capital Note is due and payable on December 31, 2007. All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the AirWorks Note and the RS Note is due and payable on June 19, 2010. In addition, pursuant to the Notes, the Lenders have been granted certain preemptive rights in the event the Issuer proposes to issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or any rights or options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Each of the Notes contains additional terms and conditions, including events of default, that are generally consistent with securities of this kind.

 
 

 


CUSIP No. 50105X106
 

 
Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to take all actions necessary to ensure that AirWorks and RS Properties have the right to designate a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer, including increasing the number of members of the issuer’s board of directors.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiary Kronos Air Technologies, Inc., pursuant to a Security Agreement dated June 19, 2007.

In connection with the Funding Agreement, the Lenders entered into an Intercreditor Agreement with certain existing creditors of the Issuer (the “Existing Creditors”) whereby the Existing Creditors agreed to subordinate their security interest to that of the Lenders. In addition, the Lenders also entered into an Intercreditor Agreement whereby AirWorks and RS Properties agreed to subordinate their security interest to that of the Critical Capital Entities.

Voting and Support Agreements

On June 19, 2007, the Issuer, AirWorks, the Critical Capital Entities and RS Properties entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Lender Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the following matters in the following manner: (1) in favor of a slate of directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors as proposed by AirWorks and RS Properties, (2) in favor or adjusting the size of the Issuer’s board of directors such that upon the election of the slate of directors proposed by AirWorks and RS Properties, such directors hold a majority of the seats on the Issuer’s board of directors, (3) in favor of approving an amendment to the Issuer’s articles of incorporation to increase the Issuer’s authorized common stock to a number of shares necessary to allow the Lenders to convert the entire principal amount of the Notes into share of common stock of the Company, (4) in favor of approving the reincorporation of the Company in Delaware, (5) in favor of a reverse stock split proposed by AirWorks or the Issuer’s board of directors and (6) against any action or transaction that may reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the consummation of any of the foregoing. The expiration of the Lender Voting Agreement is the earlier of (a) the date on which the matters set forth in (1)-(5) above have been approved by the stockholders of the Issuer and (b) August 1, 2008.

Additionally, on June 19, 2007, the Issuer entered into Voting and Support Agreements (the “Securityholder Voting Agreements”) with Messrs.

CUSIP No. 50105X106


Letter Agreement

On June 19, 2007, AirWorks and RS Properties entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed (1) that any advances made to the Issuer pursuant to the Funding Agreement and the AirWorks Note and RS Note, respectively, at a subsequent closing, will be made 60% by AirWorks and 40% by RS Properties, (2) that following the closing of the Funding Agreement, AirWorks and RS Properties will secure more than 50% of the voting control of the Issuer with AirWorks converting such portion of the AirWorks Note as is necessary to represent 60% of such controlling position and RS Properties converting such portion of the RS Note as is necessary to represent 40% of such controlling position, (3) to enter into the Lender Voting Agreement and (4) to make certain adjustments to the percentage of additional advances required to be made by AirWorks and RS Note if certain specified events occurred. This Schedule 13D has been prepared taking into account that, pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, AirWorks and RS Properties, will have voting control of the Issuer once the above actions have been taken and will vote their respective shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Lender Voting Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Funding Agreement, the Issuer and the Lenders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 19, 2007. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed to file a registration statement registering the Common Stock owned by the Lenders, the Common Stock underlying the Notes and any other securities issued or issuable with respect to such securities upon any classification, share combination, share division, share dividend, merger consolidation or similar event (the “Registrable Securities”), upon demand of the holders of at least 20% of the Registrable Securities. The Issuer is required to file such registration statement within 45 days (or 90 days if the registration statement is on a form other than Form S-3) after notice is give and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Issuer is required to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (1) the date all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or (2) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Lenders with piggy back registration rights with respect to certain offerings of the Issuer’s securities.

The foregoing summaries of the Funding Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Lender Voting Agreement, the Securityholder Voting Agreements, the Proxy, the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of such agreements which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2 through 14, respectively, and which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any other action specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 
 

 

CUSIP No. 50105X106


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b) See Items 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover sheet for each Reporting Person.

If the Critical Capital Note becomes convertible into Common Stock, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 306,785,714 shares of Common Stock, representing 56% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based upon 242,342,803 shares of Common Stock as of May 18, 2007, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2007).

In addition, by virtue of any of the Lender Voting Agreement and the Letter Agreement, a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or Rule 13d-5(b)(1) thereunder, may have been formed that includes, AirWorks, RS Properties and the Critical Capital Entities. Such a group including AirWorks, RS Properties and the Critical Capital Entities would be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,214,285,713 shares of Common Stock, representing 83% of the Common Stock outstanding (based upon 242,342,803 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 18, 2007). Such shares of Common Stock which would be deemed beneficially owned by such a group includes (1) 328,571,428 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the funded portion of the RS Note and (2) 885,714,285 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the funded portion of the AirWorks Note, but excludes (1) 1,985,714,285 shares of Common Stock which may become issuable if the RS Note is funded in full, (2) 2,978,571,428 shares of Common Stock which may become issuable if the AirWorks Note is funded in full and (3) 306,785,714 shares of Common Stock underlying the Critical Capital Note which is not presently convertible. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of Common Stock beneficially owned by RS Properties and AirWorks.

Since the Issuer currently is only authorized to issue 500 million shares of Common Stock and as of May 18, 2007, 242,342,803 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding (according to filings made by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Lenders will not be able to convert the entire current outstanding principal amount of the Notes until such time as the Issuer increases its authorized share capital to authorize additional shares of Common Stock. As described above, pursuant to the Lender Voting Agreement and the Letter Agreement, AirWorks and RS Properties have agreed to convert a sufficient principal amount of the their respective Notes to secure voting control of the Issuer and will subsequently vote to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s articles of incorporation to increase the authorized share capital of the Issuer to allow the Lenders to convert the entire principal amounts advanced under the Notes into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

(c) Except as set forth in Items 3 and 4 above, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected by the Reporting Persons in the last 60 days.

(d) and (e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of Issuer.

See Items 3, 4 and 5 above. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) exist among the Reporting Persons and between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

Should any litigation or arbitration be commenced between the parties hereto concerning this Agreement, the party prevailing in such litigation or arbitration shall be entitled, upon final judgment and expiration of all appeals, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and costs in such litigation or arbitration, which shall be determined by the court or arbitrator, as the case may be.
 
7.10 Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall to the extent practicable be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent of the parties, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
7.11 Amendments; Waivers; Delays or Omissions. No waiver, amendment, modification or change of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until made in writing and signed by AirWorks and Borrower. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to Borrower or a Lender upon any breach, default or noncompliance of Lenders or Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Borrower or Lenders of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or any waiver on Borrower’s or Lenders’ part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing and that all remedies, either under this Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of Borrower, or otherwise afforded to Borrower and Lenders, shall be cumulative and not alternative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, AirWorks and RS Properties shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to change the respective amounts that may be advanced by them pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(b); provided, however, that in no event shall AirWorks and RS Properties have the right to contribute in excess of $14,200,000 in the aggregate at all Subsequent Closings.

(a)    Except for The Wall Street Group, which is entitled to receive a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the first Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($16,500,000) of the Loan that is actually advanced to the Borrower by the Lenders, Borrower (i) represents and warrants that it has not retained any finder or broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Lenders harmless of and from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee to any broker or other Person (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which Borrower is responsible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, under no circumstance will the amount paid to The Wall Street Group exceed Four Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($495,000)
 
-38-

 
(b)    Each Lender, severally but not jointly, hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Borrower harmless of and from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee to any broker or other Person (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Lender is responsible.
 
7.13 Assignment. No party hereto may assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder or any part thereof to any other person or entity; provided, however, that AirWorks shall be permitted to freely assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
 
7.14 Independent Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. The obligations of each Lender under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees that the Lenders are not acting as a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
 
7.15 Construction. Borrower and each of the Lenders have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Borrower and Lender and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT
 
Section 3.1    Conversion Option. At any time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a) hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion in the form attached hereto (the “Conversion Notice”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (617) 364-5085, Attn.: Chief Executive Officer) (the “Conversion Date”), provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.4 of this Note. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Funding Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.
 

-5-



 
Section 3.2    Conversion Price.
 
(a)    The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.0028, subject to adjustment under Section 3.4 hereof.
 
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the Maker and the Holder that the Conversion Price equal an amount that results in the shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender upon conversion of this Note (i) in full will represent, on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis (taking into account, without limitation, all potentially dilutive securities which are outstanding, authorized by the Maker, or otherwise required to be issued, as of the First Closing Date, and assuming that all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Maker shall have been exercised, and all outstanding shares of all series of the Maker’s preferred stock, if any, have been converted into Common Stock), no less than 58.35% of the outstanding capital stock of the Maker and (ii) in part will represent, on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis (taking into account, without limitation, all potentially dilutive securities which are outstanding, authorized by the Maker, or otherwise required to be issued, as of the First Closing Date, and assuming that all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Maker shall have been exercised, and all outstanding shares of all series of the Maker’s preferred stock, if any, have been converted into Common Stock), no less than the product of (A) 58.35% of the outstanding capital stock of the Maker and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of this Note that is converted and the denominator of which is equal to $10,820,000.
 
Section 3.3    Mechanics of Conversion.
 
(a)    Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date (the “Delivery Date”), the Maker shall deliver to the Holder by (i) express courier a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of all or part of this Note, or (ii) provided that Maker’s designated transfer agent participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, at all times after the Holder has notified the Maker that this clause (ii) shall apply, credit the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Corporation through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate, certificates or shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker. The Maker shall upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Conversion Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Company.
 
(b)    The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount per
 

-6-


Trading Day for each Trading Day until such certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.
 
Section 3.4    Adjustment of Conversion Price.
 
(a)    The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i)         Adjustments for Additional Issuances of Common Stock. In the event that the Maker at any time after the First Closing Date issues additional shares of Common Stock (including additional shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest hundredth of one cent) equal to the consideration per share received by the Maker upon such issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.4, shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued if the Maker or any of its subsidiaries issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”). For purposes of this Section 3.4, in connection with any issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed Number”) the shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the consideration deemed to have been received by the Maker applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Maker to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock (net of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
 
(ii)        Adjustments for Subdivisions, Common Stock Dividends, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or increased, by stock split or stock dividend, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or payment of such stock dividend, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
 

-7-



 
(iii)       Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination or shares provided for above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder upon conversion of this Note immediately before that change.
 
(iv)      Adjustments for Merger, Sale, Lease or Conveyance. In the event of any consolidation with or merger of the Maker with or into another entity, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another person or entity of the assets of the Maker as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance) upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Note.
 
(v)        Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustment Under this Section. The following provisions will be applicable to the adjustments in Conversion Price as provided in this Section 3.4:
 
(1)    The number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Maker.
 
(2)    In case the Maker shall take any action affecting the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections above, inclusive, which would have an inequitable effect on the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the Maker on the advice of the Maker’s independent public accountants may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
 
(3)    No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of any such adjustment would be an amount less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereof shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate an increase or decrease of one percent (1%) or more.
 

-8-


(4)    The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted upward except in the event of a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)    Record Date. In the event that the Maker shall propose at any time:
 
(i)         to declare any dividend or distribution (other than by purchase of Common Stock of employees, officers and directors pursuant to the termination of such persons or pursuant to the Maker’s exercise of rights of first refusal with respect to Common Stock held by such persons) upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
 
(ii)        to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock shares outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
 
(iii)       to merge or consolidate with or into any other entity, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this Maker shall send to the Holder:
 
(1)    at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
 
(2)    in the case of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
 
Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address first set forth above. Any such action shall at all times be subject to the voting rights and other rights, preferences and privileges of the Holder set forth herein.
 
(c)    No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action (other than actions taken in good faith), avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment.
 
(d)    Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this section, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustments and readjustments, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.
 

-9-



 
(e)    Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
 
(f)    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.
 
(g)    Reservation of Common Stock.
 
(i)         In the event that at anytime when this Note shall be outstanding, the Maker shall not have sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note at such time (without regard to any limitations on conversion) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), it shall immediately reserve and keep available such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as is in fact available as of that date and shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock until such time as the Maker’s Certificate of Incorporation shall have been amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to such number as would, at a minimum, permit the reservation by the Maker of sufficient shares to allow conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note as provided herein.
 

-10-


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Maker shall (A) hold a meeting of its stockholders or (B) obtain a majority written consent of its stockholders, for the authorization of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Maker shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement 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. The inability of the Maker to reserve the required number of shares of Common Stock required by this Section 3.4(g) shall have no impact on the rank, rights, preferences and privileges of this Note, which shall be interpreted and applied as if the Maker had sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued to effect any conversion. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or which would cause the effective purchase price for the Common Stock to be less than the par value of the shares of Common Stock, the Maker shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price or effective purchase price, as the case may be.
 
(h)    Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
 
Section 3.5    Preemptive Rights.
 
(a)    Except as set forth in Section 3.5(c), the Maker shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or other securities, or any rights or options to purchase Common Stock or other securities, or any debt or shares convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other securities, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether unissued or in the treasury (collectively, “Preemptive Shares”), unless the Holder shall first have been given the right to acquire, at a price no less favorable than that at which such Preemptive Shares are to be offered to others, a portion of the Preemptive Shares, as provided in Section 3.5(b).
 
(b)    The Maker shall give the Holder prior written notice of any proposed issuance or sale described in Section 3.5(a), including the price at which such securities are to be offered and the time period for the offering, and the Holder shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice within which to elect to acquire that number of the Preemptive Shares equal to the product of the total number of Preemptive Shares being offered and a fraction, determined as of the time immediately prior to the issuance of the Preemptive Shares, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding as a result of the conversion of this Note, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note could be converted, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, (y) the number of shares of
 

-11-


Common Stock into which this Note could be converted, and (z) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Company, and all outstanding shares of all series of preferred stock (such number of Preemptive Shares being referred to herein as the “Common Stock Preemptive Shares”). The Holder may acquire that portion of the Common Stock Preemptive Shares being offered equal to its percentage ownership of the outstanding Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Preemptive Shares. If any transaction specified by the Maker in any such notice shall not be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such notice, the Corporation shall again comply with the provisions of this Section 3.5 with respect to such transaction, and the Holder shall again have preemptive rights hereunder with respect to the transaction, regardless of whether any such stockholder had previously exercised or failed to exercise such rights. Any purchase of securities pursuant to the exercise of preemptive rights shall be consummated simultaneously with, and shall be conditioned upon, consummation of the transaction proposed by the Maker.
 
(c)    The restrictions contained in, and preemptive rights granted under, this Section 3.5 shall not apply to:
 
(i)         shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note;
 
(ii)        shares of capital stock of the Maker issued in a public offering occurring after the date hereof that results in aggregate gross proceeds to the Maker of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000); or
 
(iii)       shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or other Common Stock equivalents in existence on the Issuance Date.
 
The rights granted to the Holder under this Section 3.5 may be waived with respect to any Preemptive Shares by a written waiver executed by the Holder.

Section 3.6    Prepayment. The Maker shall not be permitted to prepay some or all of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note at any time prior to the date that is six (6) months after the First Closing Date but shall be permitted to prepay some or all of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note at any time after such date; provided, however, that (i) in advance of any such prepayment, the Maker shall deliver to the Holder a written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) setting forth the Maker’s intention to make such prepayment and the amount thereof, and (ii) the Holder shall have the right to convert some or all of the amount proposed to be prepaid into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the amount to be converted by the Conversion Price then in effect. The Holder shall exercise the conversion right set forth in this Section 3.6 by notifying the Maker in writing within sixty (60) Trading Days of the Holder’s receipt of Prepayment Notice. In the event that the Maker prepays some, but not all, of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, such prepaid amount shall be applied first to the amount owing on the date on which the Maker’s final payment is due hereunder and then to amounts owing on any preceding dates on which the Maker is required to make payments hereunder.
 

-12-



 
Section 3.7    No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.

-5-



 
Section 3.2    Conversion Price. The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.0028, subject to adjustment under Section 3.4 hereof.
 
Section 3.3    Mechanics of Conversion.
 
(a)    Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date (the “Delivery Date”), the Maker shall deliver to the Holder by (i) express courier a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of all or part of this Note, or (ii) provided that Maker’s designated transfer agent participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, at all times after the Holder has notified the Maker that this clause (ii) shall apply, credit the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Corporation through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate, certificates or shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker. The Maker shall upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Conversion Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Company.
 
(b)    The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.
 
Section 3.4    Adjustment of Conversion Price.
 
(a)    The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 

-6-



 
(i)         Adjustments for Additional Issuances of Common Stock. In the event that the Maker at any time after the First Closing Date issues additional shares of Common Stock (including additional shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest hundredth of one cent) equal to the consideration per share received by the Maker upon such issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.4, shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued if the Maker or any of its subsidiaries issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”). For purposes of this Section 3.4, in connection with any issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed Number”) the shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the consideration deemed to have been received by the Maker applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Maker to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock (net of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
 
(ii)       Adjustments for Subdivisions, Common Stock Dividends, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or increased, by stock split or stock dividend, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or payment of such stock dividend, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
 
(iii)       Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination or shares provided for above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder upon conversion of this Note immediately before that change.
 

-7-


(iv)      Adjustments for Merger, Sale, Lease or Conveyance. In the event of any consolidation with or merger of the Maker with or into another entity, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another person or entity of the assets of the Maker as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance) upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Note.

(1)    The number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Maker.
 
(2)    In case the Maker shall take any action affecting the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections above, inclusive, which would have an inequitable effect on the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the Maker on the advice of the Maker’s independent public accountants may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
 
(3)    No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of any such adjustment would be an amount less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereof shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate an increase or decrease of one percent (1%) or more.

(b)    Record Date. In the event that the Maker shall propose at any time:
 
(i)         to declare any dividend or distribution (other than by purchase of Common Stock of employees, officers and directors pursuant to the termination of such persons or pursuant to the Maker’s exercise of rights of first refusal with respect to Common Stock held by such persons) upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;

(iii)       to merge or consolidate with or into any other entity, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this Maker shall send to the Holder:
 
(1)    at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
 
(2)    in the case of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
 
Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address first set forth above. Any such action shall at all times be subject to the voting rights and other rights, preferences and privileges of the Holder set forth herein.
 
(c)    No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action (other than actions taken in good faith), avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment.
 
(d)    Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this section, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustments and readjustments, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.
 
(e)    Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
 
(f)    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible
 

-9-


for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.
 
(g)    Reservation of Common Stock.
 
 (i)         In the event that at anytime when this Note shall be outstanding, the Maker shall not have sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note at such time (without regard to any limitations on conversion) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), it shall immediately reserve and keep available such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as is in fact available as of that date and shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock until such time as the Maker’s Certificate of Incorporation shall have been amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to such number as would, at a minimum, permit the reservation by the Maker of sufficient shares to allow conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note as provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Maker shall (A) hold a meeting of its stockholders or (B) obtain a majority written consent of its stockholders, for the authorization of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Maker shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement 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. The inability of the Maker to reserve the required number of shares of Common Stock required by this Section 3.4(g) shall have no impact on the rank, rights, preferences and privileges of this Note, which shall be interpreted and applied as if the Maker had sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued to effect any conversion. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or which would cause the effective purchase price for the Common Stock to be less than the par value of the shares of Common Stock, the Maker shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price or effective purchase price, as the case may be.
 

-10-



 
(h)    Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
 
Section 3.5    Preemptive Rights.
 
(a)    Except as set forth in Section 3.5(c), the Maker shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or other securities, or any rights or options to purchase Common Stock or other securities, or any debt or shares convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other securities, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether unissued or in the treasury (collectively, “Preemptive Shares”), unless the Holder shall first have been given the right to acquire, at a price no less favorable than that at which such Preemptive Shares are to be offered to others, a portion of the Preemptive Shares, as provided in Section 3.5(b).
 
(b)    The Maker shall give the Holder prior written notice of any proposed issuance or sale described in Section 3.5(a), including the price at which such securities are to be offered and the time period for the offering, and the Holder shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice within which to elect to acquire that number of the Preemptive Shares equal to the product of the total number of Preemptive Shares being offered and a fraction, determined as of the time immediately prior to the issuance of the Preemptive Shares, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding as a result of the conversion of this Note, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note could be converted, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note could be converted, and (z) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Company, and all outstanding shares of all series of preferred stock (such number of Preemptive Shares being referred to herein as the “Common Stock Preemptive Shares”). The Holder may acquire that portion of the Common Stock Preemptive Shares being offered equal to its percentage ownership of the outstanding Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Preemptive Shares. If any transaction specified by the Maker in any such notice shall not be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such notice, the Corporation shall again comply with the provisions of this Section 3.5 with respect to such transaction, and the Holder shall again have preemptive rights hereunder with respect to the transaction, regardless of whether any such stockholder had previously exercised or failed to exercise such rights. Any purchase of securities pursuant to the exercise of preemptive rights shall be consummated simultaneously with, and shall be conditioned upon, consummation of the transaction proposed by the Maker.
 
(c)    The restrictions contained in, and preemptive rights granted under, this Section 3.5 shall not apply to:
 
(i)         shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note;
 

-11-



 
(ii)        shares of capital stock of the Maker issued in a public offering occurring after the date hereof that results in aggregate gross proceeds to the Maker of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000); or
 
(iii)       shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or other Common Stock equivalents in existence on the Issuance Date.
 
The rights granted to the Holder under this Section 3.5 may be waived with respect to any Preemptive Shares by a written waiver executed by the Holder.

Section 3.6    Prepayment. The Maker shall be permitted to prepay some or all of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date, without penalty. In the event that the Maker prepays some, but not all, of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, such prepaid amount shall be applied first to the amount owing on the date on which the Maker’s final payment is due hereunder and then to amounts owing on any preceding dates on which the Maker is required to make payments hereunder.
 
Section 3.7    No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.

CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT
 
Section 3.1    Conversion Option. At any time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a) hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion in the form attached hereto (the “Conversion Notice”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (617) 364-5085, Attn.: Chief Executive Officer) (the “Conversion Date”), provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.4 of this Note. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Funding Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.
 
Section 3.2    Conversion Price.
 
(a)    The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.0028, subject to adjustment under Section 3.4 hereof.
 
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the Maker and the Holder that the Conversion Price equal an amount that results in the shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender upon conversion of this Note (i) in full will represent, on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis (taking into account, without limitation, all potentially dilutive securities which are outstanding, authorized by the Maker, or otherwise required to be issued, as of the First Closing

ate, and assuming that all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Maker shall have been exercised, and all outstanding shares of all series of the Maker’s preferred stock, if any, have been converted into Common Stock), no less than 34.95% of the outstanding capital stock of the Maker and (ii) in part will represent, on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis (taking into account, without limitation, all potentially dilutive securities which are outstanding, authorized by the Maker, or otherwise required to be issued, as of the First Closing Date, and assuming that all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Maker shall have been exercised, and all outstanding shares of all series of the Maker’s preferred stock, if any, have been converted into Common Stock), no less than the product of (A) 34.95% of the outstanding capital stock of the Maker and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of this Note that is converted and the denominator of which is equal to $6,480,000.
 
Section 3.3    Mechanics of Conversion.
 
(a)    Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date (the “Delivery Date”), the Maker shall deliver to the Holder by (i) express courier a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of all or part of this Note, or (ii) provided that Maker’s designated transfer agent participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, at all times after the Holder has notified the Maker that this clause (ii) shall apply, credit the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Corporation through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate, certificates or shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker. The Maker shall upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Conversion Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Company.
 
(b)    The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

Section 3.4    Adjustment of Conversion Price.
 
(a)    The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i) Adjustments for Additional Issuances of Common Stock. In the event that the Maker at any time after the First Closing Date issues additional shares of Common Stock (including additional shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest hundredth of one cent) equal to the consideration per share received by the Maker upon such issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.4, shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued if the Maker or any of its subsidiaries issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”). For purposes of this Section 3.4, in connection with any issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock, (A) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed Number”) the shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the consideration deemed to have been received by the Maker applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Maker to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock (net of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
 
(ii) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Common Stock Dividends, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or increased, by stock split or stock dividend, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or payment of such stock dividend, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
 
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination or shares provided for above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder upon conversion of this Note immediately before that change.
 

-7-



 
(iv) Adjustments for Merger, Sale, Lease or Conveyance. In the event of any consolidation with or merger of the Maker with or into another entity, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another person or entity of the assets of the Maker as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance) upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Note.
 
(v) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustment Under this Section. The following provisions will be applicable to the adjustments in Conversion Price as provided in this Section 3.4:
 
(1)    The number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Maker.
 
(2)    In case the Maker shall take any action affecting the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections above, inclusive, which would have an inequitable effect on the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the Maker on the advice of the Maker’s independent public accountants may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
 
(3)    No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of any such adjustment would be an amount less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereof shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate an increase or decrease of one percent (1%) or more.
 
(4)    The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted upward except in the event of a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)    Record Date. In the event that the Maker shall propose at any time:
 

-8-



 
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution (other than by purchase of Common Stock of employees, officers and directors pursuant to the termination of such persons or pursuant to the Maker’s exercise of rights of first refusal with respect to Common Stock held by such persons) upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
 
(ii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock shares outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
 
(iii) to merge or consolidate with or into any other entity, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this Maker shall send to the Holder:
 
(1)    at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
 
(2     in the case of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
 
Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address first set forth above. Any such action shall at all times be subject to the voting rights and other rights, preferences and privileges of the Holder set forth herein.
 
(c)    No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action (other than actions taken in good faith), avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment.
 
(d)    Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this section, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustments and readjustments, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.
 

-9-


(e)    Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
 
(f)    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.
 
(g)    Reservation of Common Stock.
 
 (i)     In the event that at anytime when this Note shall be outstanding, the Maker shall not have sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note at such time (without regard to any limitations on conversion) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), it shall immediately reserve and keep available such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as is in fact available as of that date and shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock until such time as the Maker’s Certificate of Incorporation shall have been amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to such number as would, at a minimum, permit the reservation by the Maker of sufficient shares to allow conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note as provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 60 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Maker shall (A) hold a meeting of its stockholders or (B) obtain a majority written consent of its stockholders, for the authorization of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Maker shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement 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. The inability of the Maker to reserve the required number of shares of Common Stock required by this Section 3.4(g) shall have no impact on the rank, rights, preferences and privileges of this Note, which shall be interpreted and applied as if the Maker had sufficient
 

-10-


shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued to effect any conversion. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or which would cause the effective purchase price for the Common Stock to be less than the par value of the shares of Common Stock, the Maker shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price or effective purchase price, as the case may be.
 
(h)    Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
 
Section 3.5    Preemptive Rights.
 
(a)    Except as set forth in Section 3.5(c), the Maker shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or other securities, or any rights or options to purchase Common Stock or other securities, or any debt or shares convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other securities, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether unissued or in the treasury (collectively, “Preemptive Shares”), unless the Holder shall first have been given the right to acquire, at a price no less favorable than that at which such Preemptive Shares are to be offered to others, a portion of the Preemptive Shares, as provided in Section 3.5(b).
 
(b)    The Maker shall give the Holder prior written notice of any proposed issuance or sale described in Section 3.5(a), including the price at which such securities are to be offered and the time period for the offering, and the Holder shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice within which to elect to acquire that number of the Preemptive Shares equal to the product of the total number of Preemptive Shares being offered and a fraction, determined as of the time immediately prior to the issuance of the Preemptive Shares, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding as a result of the conversion of this Note, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note could be converted, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note could be converted, and (z) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of the Company, and all outstanding shares of all series of preferred stock (such number of Preemptive Shares being referred to herein as the “Common Stock Preemptive Shares”). The Holder may acquire that portion of the Common Stock Preemptive Shares being offered equal to its percentage ownership of the outstanding Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Preemptive Shares. If any transaction specified by the Maker in any such notice shall not be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such notice, the Corporation shall again comply with the provisions of this Section 3.5 with respect to such transaction, and the Holder shall again have preemptive rights hereunder with respect to the transaction, regardless of whether any such stockholder had previously exercised or failed to exercise such rights. Any purchase of securities pursuant to the exercise of preemptive rights shall be consummated simultaneously with, and shall be conditioned upon, consummation of the transaction proposed by the Maker.
 

-11-


 
 
(c)    The restrictions contained in, and preemptive rights granted under, this Section 3.5 shall not apply to:
 
(i) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note;
 
(ii) shares of capital stock of the Maker issued in a public offering occurring after the date hereof that results in aggregate gross proceeds to the Maker of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000); or
 
(iii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or other Common Stock equivalents in existence on the Issuance Date.
 
The rights granted to the Holder under this Section 3.5 may be waived with respect to any Preemptive Shares by a written waiver executed by the Holder.

Section 3.6    Prepayment. The Maker shall not be permitted to prepay some or all of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note at any time prior to the date that is six (6) months after the First Closing Date but shall be permitted to prepay some or all of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note at any time after such date; provided, however, that (i) in advance of any such prepayment, the Maker shall deliver to the Holder a written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) setting forth the Maker’s intention to make such prepayment and the amount thereof, and (ii) the Holder shall have the right to convert some or all of the amount proposed to be prepaid into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the amount to be converted by the Conversion Price then in effect. The Holder shall exercise the conversion right set forth in this Section 3.6 by notifying the Maker in writing within sixty (60) Trading Days of the Holder’s receipt of Prepayment Notice. In the event that the Maker prepays some, but not all, of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, such prepaid amount shall be applied first to the amount owing on the date on which the Maker’s final payment is due hereunder and then to amounts owing on any preceding dates on which the Maker is required to make payments hereunder.
 
Section 3.7    No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.

(g)    No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit First Lien Creditors from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor to any action taken by any Second Lien Creditor, including the seeking by such Second Lien Creditor of adequate protection or the assertion by such Second Lien Creditor of any of its rights and remedies under the Note Documents.

If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such First Lien Creditor Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Second Lien Creditor after a Discharge of First Lien Obligations and prior to the reinstatement of such First Lien Obligations shall be delivered to First Lien Creditors upon such reinstatement in accordance with Section 9(j).

(b)    No Second Lien Creditor shall propose or support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.
 
(j)    Payments Held in Trust/Turnover.

7.    Sale of Collateral. Until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred: (a) only First Lien Creditors shall have the right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale or disposition of the Collateral; and (b) immediately upon the sale or disposition of such Collateral by any Obligor with the consent of First Lien Creditors or by or on behalf of First Lien Creditors in connection with the exercise of its Secured Creditor Remedies, each Second Lien Creditor’s lien and security interest upon the Collateral sold shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and each Second Lien Creditor will promptly deliver (at Obligors’ expense) such release, reconveyance, and termination documents as any First Lien Creditor or any Obligor may reasonably require in connection therewith.

(b)    all proceeds received or to be received on account of a Casualty shall be applied in the manner or manners provided for in the Note Documents and in this Agreement; and
 
(c)    until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, each Second Lien Creditor agrees to promptly execute and deliver to First Lien Creditors any documents, instruments, agreements or further assurances reasonably required to effectuate any of the foregoing.
 
9.    Insolvency Proceeding.
 
(a)    Enforceability and Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of First Lien Creditors and Second Lien Creditors in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are expressly intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
(b)    Financing. Until Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and First Lien Creditors consent to the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; herein, “Cash Collateral”) on which any First Lien Creditor has a Lien or to permit any Obligor to obtain financing provided by any First Lien Creditor under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (such financing, together with any Cash Collateral use, collectively a “DIP Financing”), then each Second Lien Creditor agrees that it will consent to such Cash Collateral use and raise no objection to such DIP Financing, provided, the Second Lien Creditors retain a subordinate security interest in the collateral (including proceeds thereof) and obtains a replacement security interest on post-petition Collateral to the same extent as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding, and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, each Second Lien Creditor will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing. If any First Lien Creditor offers to provide DIP Financing that meets the requirements set forth above, each Second Lien Creditor agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (x) provide or offer to provide DIP Financing or support any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, or (y) request or accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief except as provided in Section 9(e)(ii). In connection with any DIP Financing, if any Liens on the Collateral held by First Lien Creditors are subject to a surcharge or are subordinated to an administrative priority claim, a professional fee “carve out,” or fees owed to the United States Trustee, then the Liens on the Collateral of each Second Lien Creditor shall also be subordinated to such interest or claim and shall remain subordinated to the Liens on the Collateral of First Lien Creditors consistent with this Agreement.

(c)    Sales. Until Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, each Second Lien Creditor agrees that it will consent to the Disposition of, and will not object or oppose a motion to Dispose of, any Collateral free and clear of the Liens or the claims that are in favor of such Second Lien Creditor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if First Lien Creditors have consented to such Disposition of such assets free and clear of the Liens of the claims that are in favor of First Lien Creditors.
 
(d)    Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, each Second Lien Creditor agrees that it shall not seek (or support any other person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of First Lien Creditors.
 
(e)    Adequate Protection.
 
(i)         First Lien Creditors. In any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, each Second Lien Creditor agrees that it shall not contest (or support any other person contesting):
 
(A)    any request by any First Lien Creditor for adequate protection (whether in the form of payments, liens, a priority administrative expense claim or otherwise);
 
(B)    any objection by any First Lien Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on any First Lien Creditor claiming a lack of adequate protection (whether in the form of payments, liens, a priority administrative expense claim or otherwise);
 
(C)    the payment of interest, fees, expenses, or other amounts to any First Lien Creditor under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
 
(ii)        Second Lien Creditors. In any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor:
 
(A)    Replacement Liens.
 
(1)    Until Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any First Lien Creditor is granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of Obligors) in connection with any DIP Financing, then each Second Lien Creditor shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from First Lien Creditors, adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of Obligors), which replacement Lien, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Liens securing such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinate to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and
 

6



 
(2)    In the event that Second Lien Creditors are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of Obligors), then each Second Lien Creditor agrees that each First Lien Creditor shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from Second Lien Creditors, a senior adequate protection Lien on existing or future assets of Obligors as security for the First Lien Obligations and for any DIP Financing provided by any First Lien Creditor. Any adequate protection Lien on such existing or future assets securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated (i) to the Lien on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by any First Lien Creditor, and (ii) to any other Liens granted to any First Lien Creditor as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement.
 
(B)    No Distributions. Until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, Second Lien Creditors shall seek neither (a) adequate protection in the form of Distributions in respect of the Second Lien Obligations nor (b) adequate protection in the form of Distributions with respect to their rights to the Collateral.
 
(iii)       Allowance of Postpetition Accrual. Second Lien Creditors shall not object to, oppose or challenge any claim by any First Lien Creditor for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses.
 
(f)    Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Second Lien Creditors shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any First Lien Creditor to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Second Lien Creditor waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Creditor arising out of the election by any First Lien Creditor of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
(g)    No Waiver. Except as otherwise provide in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit First Lien Creditors from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor to any action taken by any Second Lien Creditor, including the seeking by such Second Lien Creditor of adequate protection or the assertion by such Second Lien Creditor of any of its rights and remedies under the Note Documents.
 
(h)    Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Creditor is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over, disgorge or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount paid in respect of the First Lien Obligations (a “First Lien Creditor Recovery”), then such First Lien Creditor shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts, and all rights, interests, priorities and privileges recognized in this Agreement shall apply with respect to any such First Lien Creditor Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such First Lien Creditor Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Second Lien Creditor after a Discharge of First Lien Obligations and prior to the reinstatement of such First Lien Obligations shall be delivered to First Lien Creditors upon such reinstatement in accordance with Section 9(j).

(i)    Plan of Reorganization.
 
(a)    If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Note Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Note Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the parties hereto expressly agree that the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations, and
 
(b)    No Second Lien Creditor shall propose or support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.
 
(j)    Payments Held in Trust/Turnover. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, any Distribution in respect of the Second Lien Obligations prohibited by this Agreement shall be received by any Second Lien Creditor before there has been a Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, such Distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to or delivered to First Lien Creditors, until there has been a Discharge of the First Lien Obligations.
 
10.    Notice of Default and Certain Events; Right to Cure. Each Secured Creditor shall promptly notify the other Secured Creditors in writing of the occurrence of any of the following as applicable:
 
(a)    any default or event of default under the Note issued to such Secured Creditor; or
 
(b)    the demand for payment of, acceleration of or termination of any of the Obligations.
 
Each of the Second Lien Creditors shall have the right, but not any obligation, to cure any events of default under the Note Documents for the account of the Obligors within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such Second Lien Creditor of written notice of such event of default from the Secured Creditor or thereafter with the consent of the Secured Creditors. In no event shall any Second Lien Creditor, by virtue of the payment of amounts or performance of any obligation required to be paid or performed by any Obligor, be deemed to have assumed any obligations of any Obligor to the Secured Creditors or any other person.
 
11.    Further Assurances.
 
(a)    Additional Documents. Each Second Lien Creditor agrees to execute and deliver, upon the request of First Lien Creditors, such documents and instruments (appropriate for filing, if requested) as may be necessary or appropriate to fully implement or to fully evidence the understandings and agreements contained in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that all or part of any of the First Lien Obligations is hereafter refinanced, each Second Lien Creditor agrees to enter into one or more new agreements with the refinancing lender or lenders on terms identical to those of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and each Security Holder have entered into a Funding Agreement pursuant to which the Company is able to obtain secured convertible debt financing from the Security Holders (collectively referred to herein as, the “Lenders”) in an amount up to $18,159,000 (the “Financing”);

1.  Representations and Warranties of Security Holder. Each Security Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof, as follows:

(b)    Authority. Such Security Holder has all requisite power and authority (if not a natural person) or capacity (if a natural person) to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Security Holder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Security Holder in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not and compliance with the terms hereof will not (i) conflict with, result in any violation of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any provision of any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, bond, note, mortgage, indenture, lease or other contract or agreement to which such Security Holder is a party or applicable to the Subject Shares held by such Security Holder, (ii) require any filing with, or permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any federal, state or local government or any court, tribunal, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, domestic or foreign, or (iii) violate any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Security Holder or the Subject Shares held by such Security Holder.

RS Properties I LLC
c/o Mr. John Lack
111 Broadway, 8th Floor
New York, NY 10006

 
Re:
Funding Agreement dated June 19, 2007 by and among Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. (“Kronos”), AirWorks Funding LLLP (“AirWorks”), RS Properties I, LLC (“RS Properties”) and several other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) (the “Funding Agreement”)

Dear Mr. Lack:

The purpose of this letter is to memorialize certain mutual agreements we have reached regarding our obligations under the Funding Agreement as follows:

1.  We agree that all advances made at Subsequent Closings (as defined in the Funding Agreement) will be made sixty percent (60%) by AirWorks and forty percent (40%) by RS Properties. If either AirWorks or RS Properties refuses or is unable to make its share of any such advance (the “Defaulting Party”), the other (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall be entitled to advance itself the Defaulting Party’s share of the advance (the “Defaulted Amount”), and the amount that the Defaulting Party is entitled to advance pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be automatically decreased, and the amount that the Non-Defaulting Party is entitled to advance shall be automatically increased, by the Defaulted Amount. The Defaulting Party hereby agrees to execute such additional assignments and other documentation as may be requested by the Non-Defaulting Party or as may be necessary to properly reflect the foregoing, including proper amendments to or assignments of its Note (as defined in the Funding Agreement).

2.  RS Properties and AirWorks will, immediately after the First Closing (as defined in the Funding Agreement) convert a sufficient principal amount of Notes (as defined in the Funding Agreement) to secure more than fifty percent (50%) voting control of Kronos. AirWorks will convert sixty percent (60%) and RS Properties forty percent (40%) of the amount necessary to secure such controlling position. If at any time prior to the increase in the authorized capital stock of Kronos, it is necessary for RS Properties and AirWorks to convert additional amounts to continue to have control, they will do so in the same proportion. In furtherance of the foregoing, we also agree to enter into a voting agreement providing that we will vote our respective Kronos shares:


 
RS Properties I LLC
June 19, 2007
Page 2
(i)  in favor of a slate of directors of the Kronos’ board of directors as proposed by AirWorks and RS Properties, it being understood that subject to regulatory requirements and each party’s ability to waive this requirement, such slate will have sixty percent (60%) of the directors designated by AirWorks and forty percent (40%) designated by RS Properties;
 
(ii)  in favor of adjusting the size of the Kronos’ board of directors such that upon the election of the slate of directors proposed as provided above, such directors hold at least a majority of the seats on the Kronos’ board of directors;
 
(iii)  in favor of approving an amendment to the Kronos’ articles of incorporation to increase Kronos’ authorized common stock to a number of shares necessary to allow the Lenders to convert the entire amount of the amounts advanced under the Funding Agreement into shares Kronos common stock as provided in the Notes and the Funding Agreement;
 
(iv)  in favor of reincorporating Kronos in Delaware;
 
(v)  in favor of any reverse stock split proposed by AirWorks or the Company’s board of directors; and
 
(vi)  against any action or transaction that may reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the consummation of any of the foregoing.
 
3.  We agree that if a combination of Barry Salzman and Henry Schein, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures decides to become a limited partner in AirWorks, the amount which RS Properties is entitled to advance in Subsequent Closings shall be decreased, and the amount AirWorks is entitled to advance shall be increased, by forty percent (40%) of the amount contributed by Salzman/Schein to AirWorks. RS Properties agrees to execute such additional, consents, assignments or other documents as may be requested by AirWorks or may be necessary to properly reflect the foregoing, including proper amendments or assignments of the parties respective Notes.

Our signatures below evidence our agreement as set forth above. This Letter Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(ii) if, while a registration request is pending pursuant to this Section 2(a), Company has determined in good faith that (A) the filing of a registration statement could jeopardize or delay any contemplated material transaction other than a financing plan involving Company or would require the disclosure of material information that Company had a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (B) Company then is unable to comply with SEC requirements applicable to the requested registration (notwithstanding its reasonable best efforts to so comply), Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such contemplated transaction is completed or abandoned or such material information is otherwise disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or Company reasonably is able to so comply with applicable SEC requirements, as the case may be, and (B) thirty (30) days after Company makes such good-faith determination; provided that Company shall only be permitted to delay a requested registration under this Section 2(a), whether in reliance on this subsection (ii) or on subsection (i) above, twice during the term of this Agreement.
 
(iii) Company shall not be obligated to file more than two (2) registration statements under the Securities Act relating to a registration request pursuant to this Section 2(a) and shall not be obligated in any event if such a registration request is for a number of Registrable Securities which have an aggregate market value less than $1 million. If such a request shall be for an underwritten offering, such a request must be for a number of Registrable Securities which have an aggregate market value of at least $5 million.
 
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a registration requested by a Holder pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore, not requested for purposes of Section 2(a)): (A) if it is withdrawn by the requesting Holder based upon material adverse information relating to Company that is (x) different from the information known to the Holder or Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration, or (y) promptly disclosed by Company to the Holder at the time of their request for registration; (B) if, when effective, it includes fewer than ninety (90%) percent of the number of shares of Registrable Securities which were the subject matter of the request; (C) if after it has become effective such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by such Holder and, as a result thereof, less than ninety (90%) percent of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be completely distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the related registration statement.
 

-3-


(c)    In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, Company shall have the right to designate the underwriter or underwriters, including the lead managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, subject to the reasonable approval of the Holders.
 
(d)    Holders other than the Holder initiating the demand pursuant to Section 2(a) and holders of other registrable securities with the right to participate in a Company registration statement shall have the right to include their shares of Registrable Securities or other registrable securities, as the case may be, in any registration pursuant to Section 2(a). In connection with those registrations in which multiple Holders or holders of other registrable securities with the right to participate in such registration (“Piggy-back Rights Holders”) participate, in the event the facilitating broker/dealer or, in an underwritten offering, the lead managing underwriter advises that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be sold, the number of shares to be included in the sale or underwriting and registration shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders and the holders seeking registration pursuant to piggy-back registration rights otherwise granted by Company on the basis of the estimated proceeds from the sale of the securities covered by such registration.
 
(e)    Company shall have the right to cause the registration of additional securities for sale for the account of Company in any registration of Registrable Securities requested by a Holder pursuant to Section 2(a) which involves an underwritten offering; provided that Company shall not have the right to cause the registration of such additional securities if such Holder is advised in writing (with a copy to Company) by the lead managing underwriter designated pursuant to Section 2(c) that, in such firm’s good faith opinion, registration of such securities in addition to those securities included pursuant to Sections 2(a)-(d) hereof would materially adversely affect the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities then contemplated by such Holder.
 
3.    Piggy-back Registration. At any time during the term of this Agreement if Company proposes to register any of its Company Stock or any other of its common equity securities (but not including debt instruments or preferred stock convertible into its common equity securities) (collectively, “Other Securities”) under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form thereto), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale for cash to the public under the Securities Act, it will each such time give prompt written notice to each Holder of its intention to do so at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration. Such notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include in such registration statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. Upon the written request of any such Holder, made no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City, New York time on the fifth (5th) day after such Holder’s receipt of Company’s notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition thereof), Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, in the manner set forth in Section 5, in connection with the registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which Company has been so requested to register, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with such intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered; provided that:
 

-4-



 
(a)    if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of such registration, Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holder and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register, Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, Company shall be permitted to delay registration of any Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration for the same period as the delay in registering such Other Securities;
 
(b)    if the registration referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3 is to be an underwritten registration, and the managing underwriter advises Company in writing that, in such firm’s opinion, such offering would be materially and adversely affected by the inclusion therein of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein, Company shall include in such registration: (1) first, all securities Company proposes to sell for its own account (“Company Securities”) if Company Securities are proposed to be included in such registration, (2) second, up to the full number of Registrable Securities in excess of the number or dollar amount of Company Securities, which, in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter, can be so sold without materially and adversely affecting such offering (and, if less than the full number of such Registrable Securities, allocated among the Holders of such Registrable Securities and holders (other than Company) of Other Securities to be included in such registration pursuant to agreements with Company (“Other Holders”) pro rata on the basis of the net proceeds from the sale thereof), and (3) third, all other securities proposed to be registered. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Company shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in any registration statement if the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would violate the provisions of any agreements or arrangements pursuant to which such registration is being effected or entered into in connection with such registration;
 
(c)    Company shall not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or award or other executive or employee benefit or compensation plans; and
 
(d)    no registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relieve Company of its obligation to effect a registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof.
 
4.    Expenses. Company agrees to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to an offering pursuant to Section 2 and Section 3 hereof (but not any fees or expenses of counsel to any Holder or the Holders or any commissions or underwriting discount in connection with an offering which shall be the expense of the Holder(s)).
 

-5-



 
5.    Registration and Qualification. If and whenever Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 2 or 3 hereof, Company shall:
 
(a)    prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the Registrable Securities to be offered as soon as practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days (ninety (90) days if the applicable registration form is other than Form S-3) after the date notice is given, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective as promptly as practicable;
 
(b)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (x) all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or (y) when all Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144 of the Securities Act;
 
(c)    furnish to the Holders and to any underwriter of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Holders or such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale of the Registrable Securities, and a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to, or received from, the SEC or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering;
 
(d)    use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such United States jurisdictions as the Holders or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities shall request, and use its best efforts to obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and consents required in connection therewith, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders or any such underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of its Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; provided that Company shall not for any such purpose be required to register or qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
 
(e)    in connection with any underwritten offering, (i) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish an opinion of counsel for Company addressed to the underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration (each a “Selling Holder”) and dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement (if any) (or if such offering is not underwritten, dated the effective date of the registration statement), and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish a “cold comfort” letter addressed to each Selling Holder, if permissible under applicable accounting practices, and signed by the independent public accountants who have audited Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each such case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other matters as the Selling Holders may reasonably request and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements;
 

-6-



 
(f)    immediately notify the Selling Holders in writing (i) at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction for any amendment of or supplement to any registration statement or other document relating to such offering, and in either such case (i) or (ii) at the request of the Selling Holders, subject to Section 4 hereof, prepare and furnish to the Selling Holders a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;
 
(g)    list all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration on each national securities exchange and United States inter-dealer quotation system on which a class of common equity securities of Company is then listed, with expenses in connection therewith to be paid in accordance with Section 4 hereof; and
 
(h)    furnish unlegended certificates representing ownership of the Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, upon conversion of the Notes) being sold in such denominations as shall be requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters with expenses therewith to be paid in accordance with Section 4 hereof.
 
6.    Underwriting, Due Diligence.
 
(a)    If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration requested under this Agreement, Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, indemnities and contribution substantially to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 7 hereof and the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5(e) hereof. The Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement and the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Selling Holders. Such underwriting agreement shall also contain such representations and warranties by the Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions. Selling Holders may require that any additional securities included in an offering proposed by a Holder be included on the same terms and conditions as the Registrable Securities that are included therein.
 

-7-



 
(b)    In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 3 shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, Company may require the Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 3 to be included in such underwriting on the same terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the other securities being sold through underwriters under such registration. If requested by the underwriters for such underwritten offering, the Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Selling Holders and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, indemnities and contribution substantially to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 7 hereof. Such underwriting agreement shall also contain such representations and warranties by Company and such other person or entity for whose account securities are being sold in such offering as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions.
 
(c)    In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, Company shall give, subject to all parties executing confidentiality agreements with Company on terms reasonably acceptable to Company, the Holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, such reasonable and customary access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified Company’s financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holder and such underwriters or their respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.
 
7.    Indemnification and Contribution.
 
(a)    In the case of each offering of Registrable Securities made pursuant to this Agreement, Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers and directors, managers, employees, partners and members, as the case may be, each underwriter of Registrable Securities so offered and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing persons within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions shall arise out of, or shall be based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
 

-8-


misleading; provided, however, that Company shall not be liable to a particular Holder in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission, if such statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished to Company in writing by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation of the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a Holder and shall survive the transfer of such securities. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which Company may otherwise have to each Holder, its officers and directors, members employees, partners and managers, as the case may be, underwriters of the Registrable Securities or any controlling person of the foregoing; provided, further, that, as to any underwriter or any person controlling any underwriter, this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus if a copy of a prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of an underwriter to such person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or action at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities as required by the Securities Act and such untrue statement or omission had been corrected in such prospectus.
 
(b)    In the case of each offering made pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such offering, by exercising its registration rights hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company, its officers, directors, agents and Affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act (and if requested by the underwriters, each underwriter who participates in the offering and each person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions shall arise out of, or shall be based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact relating to the Holder required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement of a material fact is contained in, or such material fact relating to the Holder is omitted from, information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein). The foregoing indemnity is in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to Company, or any of its directors, officers or controlling persons; provided, however, that, as to any underwriter or any person controlling any underwriter, this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus if a copy of a prospectus was not sent to or given by or on behalf of an underwriter to such person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or action at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities as required by the Securities Act and such untrue statement or omission had been corrected in such prospectus. In no event shall the liability of any Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)    Procedure for Indemnification. Each party indemnified under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement contained in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7, except to the extent the indemnifying party was prejudiced by such failure, and in no event shall relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to such indemnified party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that each indemnified party, its employees, officers and directors, if any, and each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act, shall have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably approved by the indemnifying party to represent them if the named parties to any action (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and an indemnifying party or an affiliate of an indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel either (i) that there are one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to such indemnifying party or such affiliate or (ii) a conflict may exist between such indemnified party and such indemnifying party or such affiliate, and in that event the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel for all such indemnified parties shall be paid by the indemnifying party. An indemnified party will not enter into any settlement agreement which is not approved by the indemnifying party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party may not agree to any settlement of any such claim or action which provides for any remedy or relief other than monetary damages for which the indemnifying party shall be responsible hereunder, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any action hereunder as to which the indemnifying party has assumed the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but, except as set forth above, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the indemnified party for the costs thereof. In all instances, the indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party or its counsel in the defense of each claim or action.
 

-10-



 
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to herein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, but not by reference to any indemnified party’s stock ownership in Company. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this paragraph shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this paragraph, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
8.    Rule 144. Company shall take such measures and timely file such information, documents and reports as shall be required by the SEC as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 and to remain in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
9.    Transfer of Registration Rights. A Holder may not transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any transferee without the prior written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that AirWorks shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any individual or entity owning a partnership interest of AirWorks.
 
 
10.         Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder or Holders of 51% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (ii) to demand registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder.
