(a)  annually, in arrears on the 29th day of April, provided that the Holder has delivered written notice to the Borrower not less than thirty (30) days prior to such anniversary date stating that Holder requires the annual payment of such interest (for the avoidance of doubt, payment of interest under this clause (a) shall include all previously accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, regardless of whether the Holder has made a written request with respect to such amounts in the applicable written notice); or

CONVERSION RIGHTS

2.1  Conversion Right and Conversion Price.

(a)  The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any part of the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with interest, if any, into shares of Common Stock, at any time on or after March 30, 2010 (or such earlier date if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 are available on a date prior to March 30, 2010) and prior to the Maturity Date (or such later date on which this Note is paid in full), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II, at a conversion price per share of Common Stock equal to eighty cents (US $.80) (the “Conversion Price”, as the same may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Note).

(b)  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article II shall be determined by dividing the then applicable Conversion Price by the Principal Amount and accrued interest to be converted.

(c)  The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.
 
 
 

 
 
(d)  Upon any conversion of this Note, the number of shares of Common Stock allocable among each Holder shall be in accordance with their percentage interest set forth in Schedule A attached to this Note.  As between the Holders, any partial interest in one whole share of Common Stock held by the Holders should be allocated to the Holder with the greater partial interest such that only one Holder will be entitled to receive such whole share of Common Stock.  After giving effect to the foregoing, in lieu of the Borrower issuing any fractional shares to the Holders upon conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall make an adjustment and payment in cash to the Holders.

2.2  Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.

(a)  In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and amounts being converted.  The date specified in the Notice of Conversion, or if no date is specified, then the date of the delivery of the Notice of Conversion, shall be referred to as the “Conversion Date.”  A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

(b)  Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such number of Conversion Shares as determined pursuant to this Note via, at the Holder’s election, (i) physical certificates, or (ii) electronically through the Depository Trust Borrower or other established clearing corporation performing similar functions. In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein, the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the Conversion Date.  The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the beneficial holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the Holder provides the Borrower written instructions to the contrary. 

2.3  Adjustment Events.

(a)  The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

(i)  Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (E) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Borrower (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), this Note, as to the Principal Amount hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
 

 

 
(ii)  Reclassification, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the Principal Amount hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

(iii)  Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends.  If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(iv)  Share Issuance.  So long as this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to its Management Incentive Plan, prior to the conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration less than the Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price.  For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price.

(b)  If the Borrower at any time or from time to time, prior to the full conversion of this Note, shall take any action affecting its Common Stock or share capital similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in Section 2.3(a), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as would be equitable under such circumstances.
 
 
 

 
 
(c)  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Article II, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

2.4  Reservation.  Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from all Liens, preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than one hundred and seventy-five percent (175%) of the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of this Article II) upon the conversion of this Note.  The Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be registered for public sale in accordance therewith.  The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
